The man vanished from Mingxi’s sight, but his roar lingered.
Mingxi, however, couldn’t afford to dwell on it; after the man disappeared, the reward for her victory over her opponent appeared.
“What will the reward be this time?”
Mingxi looked at the curio cabinet in the room.
The rules of the Yong Ling Room were simple: enter the room, match an opponent, and after defeating them, items would appear on the previously empty curio cabinet in the room.
Sometimes there was only a single item, other times there were multiple.
But whether it was one item or many, anything that appeared on the curio cabinet could be taken.
As for their value, it was hard to say.
She had received valuable Advanced Level tools, but also cheap nutritional potions.
So, in fact, the Yong Ling Room sometimes depended on luck.
This time, only one item appeared on the curio cabinet.
An item that left Mingxi dumbfounded.
“No way? Why would it reward this thing?”
Mingxi rubbed her eyes in a daze.
But the item in her hand still looked familiar.
This was a Soul Key! An ordinary Soul Key!
Mingxi: “...”
Absurd.
What use was this to her?
Smash it, grind it into powder, and boil it into soup?
Although shocked for an entire century, time was precious, and Mingxi did not linger in this room for too long.
The change occurred after she left this room.
“Rumble!”
The Qi Palace began to shake and tremble violently.
“What’s going on?”
“Is it an Earthquake?”
On the corridor of the Thirteenth Floor where Mingxi was currently, besides her, there were many other people, most of whom had already used up their spirit chess.
For various reasons, many people chose to follow behind Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao, watching them move through room after room.
That’s why there were so many people on this floor.
“How can the Qi Palace have an Earthquake? Could it be that the secret realm is about to collapse?”
“Big brother, can you stop saying such terrifying things? I’m still young, and I haven’t even held my boyfriend’s little hand yet. I don’t want to die like this.”
“It’s the stairs! Stairs have appeared here! Oh my god! It’s a new floor! The Thirteenth Floor!”
A particularly high-pitched voice overwhelmed the panic and unease of the others.
Everyone immediately perked up.
If you put it that way, I’m not scared anymore.
A group of people, like wolves, rushed towards the person who had shouted loudly.
Mingxi also couldn’t resist her curiosity and followed behind those people.
She saw that at the corner of the stairs, where it had originally been empty and flat, a spiral staircase leading upwards had indeed appeared.
“There really are stairs leading upwards!”
“So, how many floors does the Qi Palace actually have?”
The floor they were on was the top floor of the Qi Palace, the Twelfth Floor, and they had never heard of a Thirteenth Floor existing before.
The sudden appearance of stairs leading to the Thirteenth Floor stunned everyone.
“The Thirteenth Floor! The Qi Palace actually has a Thirteenth Floor! Hahaha, God bless! This must be Erui. Sitake’s destiny!”
Erui. Sitake laughed as he pushed aside the people standing at the staircase entrance.
He rudely charged towards the stairs, but before he could even step onto a stair, °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° he was bounced back by an invisible airwave.
“Clang!”
He hit the wall like a human cannonball.
Everyone: “...”
What a large lump of chicken ape.
“Mr. Sitake is so righteous, leading the way for us to explore and letting us know that not just any trash can set foot on this Thirteenth Floor!
Such magnanimity and demeanor, I, Xiong Jiaojiao, admire! Truly admire! Hahahaha!”
This Xiong Jiaojiao, if you hadn’t laughed so loudly and wildly, we would have believed you.
The others silently grumbled in their hearts.
However, her words were also the truth.
Erui. Sitake’s self-destructive act made them realize that this suddenly appearing Thirteenth Floor was not something one could simply go up to.
So how exactly could one go up?
Or rather, for whom did this Thirteenth Floor appear?
At this moment, everyone, as if by telepathy, thought of one person.
They all looked in unison at the girl who was curiously examining the stairs not far away.
Mingxi, feeling dozens of intense gazes: “...”
What are you looking at?
If you keep looking, I’ll eat you all!
“Little friend Mingxi, why don’t you try to see if you can go upstairs?”
Someone in the crowd suggested.
Mingxi: “...”
Try it and die?
However, Mingxi still walked towards the stairs.
It wasn’t that she was narcissistic; she also felt that the appearance of this Thirteenth Floor might truly be because of her.
She walked to the spot where Erui. Sitake had been bounced back.
Out of caution, she first extended her hand and tapped several times in front of her.
Good, no air wall, no airwave.
Even so, Mingxi still cautiously extended her right foot forward.
It wasn’t that she was cowardly; she just didn’t want to become Erui. Sitake the Second.
Her right foot stepped onto the first step.
“It worked!”
“It really is her!”
“Isn’t it a coincidence? It really is her!”
After stepping onto the first stair, Mingxi’s heart settled.
“Steady!”
Mingxi ascended five steps in a row before turning to look down, “Who else wants to try?”
There were still quite a few brave souls these days.
It was that straightforward heroine named Xiong Jiaojiao. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The brave one sent out her pet beast.
Then that pet beast became Erui. Sitake the Second, but it didn’t hit the wall because it could fly.
“It still doesn’t work, it seems?”
“So, the Thirteenth Floor is only open to Mingxi?”
“Maybe pet beasts just can’t go up?”
As the saying goes, strike quickly, or your face will thicken.
“Luo!”
Little Silver Flower had come out at some point, and seeing Mingxi, it immediately flew over.
“Luo Luo?”
Are you alright, big sister?
Little Silver Flower rubbed against her.
Mingxi also rubbed it, “Come on, let’s go upstairs and see.”
“Luo Luo?”
Aren’t we waiting for Golden Yuanbao and the little brother?
Mingxi thought about it; she didn’t know the specific situation of this Thirteenth Floor, so it was indeed better to wait for them.
Just in case, their family of four had always been on the same floor.
Golden Yuanbao and Lan Yue didn’t make her wait too long.
“Lei Lei.”
“Ling Ling.”
As soon as the two beasts came out, they also, like Little Silver Flower, ran to Mingxi’s side and rubbed against her.
“Alright, alright, not much time left, let’s quickly go upstairs and see.”
The others could only watch with envy, jealousy, and hatred as the one person and three beasts ascended the stairs, disappearing around the corner from their sight.
The layout of the Thirteenth Floor was basically no different from the other floors, except for two points.
One point was that the doors here were neither white nor black.
Instead, they were gold and silver!
They looked especially valuable at a glance!
The other point was that there was also a crimson door at the end of the corridor! So the number of rooms on this floor was not 40, but 41!
“...So, only Mingxi went up to the Thirteenth Floor?”
Inside the Pink Mansion, Wang Pinglu’s features and eyebrows were flying about, and he could no longer maintain his persona of remaining unfazed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him.
“Yes, Director Wang, Old Zhuang and I saw it with our own eyes! Everyone is very curious about what the Thirteenth Floor is like, but unfortunately, none of us can go up!”
Wang Pinglu looked at the girl surrounded by the crowd.
Should he seriously consider his little nephew’s suggestion?
