Free Web NovelMingxi let out an 'oh' but didn't play hard to get; she turned around and sat back down in her original seat.
With a sincere and curious expression, she looked at Grandma Yuan and said, "What do you need me to do, Grandma Yuan?"
It's much better to get straight to the point.
Why bother with all that pretentious nonsense?
It's exhausting.
Life is limited, so let's get straight to the point.
With her earlier example of decisively putting away her pocket watch and unceremoniously leaving, Yuan Qing realized that this Xiao Guniang didn't appreciate the beauty of gradual progression.
She could only speak directly: "In exchange for this Bloodwing Silkworm, I hope you can help me kill someone."
Mingxi raised an eyebrow.
Help kill someone. freewebnovёl.ƈom
That certainly fits the style of Green Field Star.
Mingxi was a little curious.
So she asked, "Kill who?"
Yuan Qing took a deep breath and uttered a name that Mingxi had not expected.
"Ji Yue Lin Hua."
It was unexpected, but Mingxi's expression didn't change; her eyes were deep, and her red lips curved, as if she had only heard the name of a random cat or dog.
She calmly watched the teacup in front of her slowly being refilled, the ripples in the cup continuously expanding.
"Ji Yue Lin Hua, you must be referring to one of the three guardians of the Demon King's Territory, right?"
"It's her."
Mingxi curved her lips, "An SSS-level big shot, the combat ceiling of Green Field Star, with two of her Beast Tamers having already evolved to Venerable-level."
She lifted her long eyelashes, her clear eyes silently turning cold, her lips slightly downturned, and her exquisite face suddenly became like an ice sculpture, exuding a chilling aura that pushed people away.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?"
Yuan Qing's heart gave a violent lurch, and all her muscles instantly tensed, like an over-tightened spring.
At this moment, she felt an intense, unyielding killing intent.
This killing intent came not only from the cold-eyed girl in front of her but also from her surroundings—from her Beast Tamers.
Yuan Qing had lived for over two hundred years, repeatedly dancing on the edge of death countless times; even when facing the woman who had destroyed everything she had, at the brink of death, she had never felt this kind of spine-chilling sensation, as if she were instantly in the nine netherworlds of hell, with her life and death completely out of her own control.
How could this be...
"...The...old woman is not joking; killing Ji Yue Lin Hua is the old woman's wish."
Although her mind was greatly shaken, she still maintained her composure, appearing calm and collected.
Mingxi leaned back, crossed her arms, "Grandma Yuan, don't say I don't have the ability to provoke a ceiling-level Beast Tamers.
Even if I did, do you think that one drop of Bloodwing Silkworm blood of yours is worth me taking that risk?"
Although she had anticipated that Yuan Qing's initiative to help Bright Crystal evolve definitely had another purpose, this purpose... she had to say, with such a huge appetite, wasn't she afraid of choking to death?
This wasn't a request; it was clearly insane!
Yuan Qing naturally knew her request was excessive, but—
"What if the old woman told you that Ji Yue Lin Hua is the Butterfly Demon's ultimate sycophant, willing to do anything against her principles for him, even if it means publicly eating excrement?"
Explosive.
Mingxi's pupils dilated in an Earthquake, and she just wanted to say, "You old hag are so wicked; you're deliberately slandering Ji Yue Lin Hua, aren't you?"
Yuan Qing naturally saw her suspicion and scoffed coldly, her voice filled with contempt, disgust, and hatred.
It was clear that these emotions were directed at Ji Yue Lin Hua.
However, she quickly reined in her emotions and calmly said, "You've been on Green Field Star for almost half a year, haven't you? And your identity has been exposed for some time, right?
Given the Butterfly Demon's modus operandi, he should have acted against you again by now.
But why hasn't he?
It's because he knows Ji Yue Lin Hua will act on his behalf.
And because Ji Yue Lin Hua is on duty guarding the Demon King's Territory, she cannot leave the no-man's-land before April this year.
She looked at Mingxi, "So you and she will clash sooner or later; between you two, it's either you die or she perishes."
Mingxi also looked at her, raising her hands to clap, a smile not quite reaching her teeth, "Grandma Yuan, you must be trying to say that you're not asking me, but helping me, right?"
"It's not impossible for a young friend to understand it that way."
Mingxi nodded, drank all the tea in front of her, and placed the empty teacup down with a 'thud'.
"Alright, thank you for the information, Grandma Yuan. This Green Field Star is too dangerous; it seems I can't stay here any longer. I'll buy a ticket back to Blue Star today."
Saying this, she stood up again and started walking back the way she came.
Yuan Qing: "..."
Alright, she was actually getting used to it.
"Wait."
Mingxi stopped and turned back, "Anything else?"
"...Tell me, what are your conditions?"
—
Mingxi sat on Golden Yuanbao's back, looking at the beacon smoke rising high in the 6 o'clock and 9:30 directions.
"Although this Yuan Qing is crippled, she truly has some skill; she actually managed to turn the underground fighting arena upside down so quickly."
Guangguang also saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he added, "Oh, and those people who were tracking us earlier have also been led away."
"If she didn't have the ability, how could she have escaped from a big shot like Ji Yue Lin Hua and remained hidden for so many years without dying?"
So Mingxi wasn't surprised at all that she could hold off the people from the underground fighting arena.
Mingxi wasn't an idiot; of course, she knew that Li Lianzhi had recognized her identity and had sent several people to track her after she left, along with special Beast Tamers that could lock onto auras.
The purpose was temporarily unclear.
But it was certain that they had no good intentions; ninety-nine percent, they were enemies, not friends.
Mingxi didn't mind killing a few more people, but she didn't understand the true situation and background of the underground fighting arena; she wouldn't think that what they had shown before was their full strength.
At the very least, Li Lianzhi gave her a very dangerous feeling.
So if she really made a move, there was a high probability that after killing one wave, another would come, and by then, if she didn't kill the opponent, she herself would very likely be exhausted (although with the Time Realm, exhaustion was impossible).
After all, no matter how strong Golden Yuanbao and the others were, they weren't ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) invincible.
There was still a long way to go before reaching solitude.
To be safe, the first condition Mingxi made to Yuan Qing was to do her best to hold off the underground fighting arena; it would be best to destroy it, but if not, she must ensure that no tails followed her.
Clearly, Yuan Qing had accomplished this.
"Let's go."
Mingxi patted the Golden Yuanbao beneath her.
"Abyssal Force!"
Golden Yuanbao directly used its skill and began to travel at full speed.
At the same moment, Li Lianzhi, who had not yet finished dealing with the riot of the Transcendent creature population raised in the fighting arena, received a report from his subordinate.
"...Gone? Even the perception bugs are useless?"
The man's voice was as cold as a ghost imprisoned in a deep abyss for a thousand years, sending shivers down one's spine.
The subordinate on the other end of the video was not only shaking his arms and legs, but his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were all doing a spirit dance.
"Yes...yes."
"Understood."
The call ended, and Li Lianzhi had no reaction for a long time.
After a long while, he let out a low laugh, his laughter as sinister as a venomous snake, "Mingxi, what a Mingxi! I underestimated you."
He said to the figure behind him, "She should have gone to Wanmo Territory. It just so happens that the Demon-Transforming Vine that Xiao You needs is very likely in the core area of Wanmo Territory. Have him make a trip."
He paused, then added, "Bring the Sacred Cauldron. If he encounters Mingxi on this trip... use it!"
