Chapter 869: Chapter 865: News at Last?
This scene has played out countless times in Ji Dantong’s mind, and she considered many possibilities, but she never imagined Sun Miaohan would react like this.
From Ji Dantong’s reaction, it was clearly lacking the anticipated excitement and joy; even the feeling of years-long curses being dispelled couldn’t be elevated.
Seeing the dazed look on the other person’s face, Sun Miaohan couldn’t help but laugh and say, "What, do you feel dissatisfied because you didn’t get the expected result? How about I kneel down and kowtow to you, as long as you are happy!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Upon hearing this, Ji Dantong thought worrying about her earlier was a big mistake. This person was still incorrigible, saying things that make one want to choke her right then and there.
But looking at the trophy in her hand, Ji Dantong immediately became smug and asked, "First time losing to me, any thoughts? Let’s hear them."
Sun Miaohan’s mouth curved upward, revealing a mischievous smile.
Seeing this familiar smile, Ji Dantong’s internal alarm went off instantly, a bad premonition arose in her heart.
In the past, whenever Sun Miaohan showed this smile, Ji Dantong would inevitably return defeated. Seeing this hateful smile again was like a reflex, causing turmoil within her.
"I have met that Hunter you mentioned last time..."
Just this short sentence washed away the bit of joy left in Ji Dantong’s heart like a receding tide, replaced by unease, gradually evolving into a dilemma.
On one hand, she wanted to hear news about him, but remembering it came from Sun Miaohan, Ji Dantong instinctively resisted.
For a moment, Ji Dantong felt her heart pounding like a drum, her breathing slowed extremely, her face showed no emotion, but internally she was in turmoil.
"What I can tell you is, the reason I lifted the seal this time was entirely because of that Hunter you mentioned."
Upon saying this, Sun Miaohan deliberately paused before continuing, "As for more details... we can make another bet. If you win, I’ll tell you; if you lose, then return my Fairy’s Tears. How about it?"
Hearing this, Ji Dantong finally couldn’t maintain her composure, her expression changed, and after a moment, she bit her teeth and said boldly, "Fine, let’s bet!"
After speaking, Sun Miaohan’s expression began changing, her eyes showing a hint of ambiguity.
"I remember my junior said it seemed unrelated to Hunter, how come it’s contradictory now?"
Facing Sun Miaohan’s question, Ji Dantong hesitated briefly then said, "Heh, it was just you provoking first; if I don’t dare to bet with you, people will laugh at me. So, no matter what you said, I’ll take it all!"
"Isn’t there any other reason?" Sun Miaohan suspiciously pressed on, paying close attention to Ji Dantong’s every subtle action.
"No!"
Ji Dantong replied firmly, her gaze becoming stern, "I think it’s you, always talking about Hunter; do you have feelings for him but use me as a cover?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Miaohan felt a subtle sensation she had never had before, her gaze dodged momentarily, but relying on her years of combat experience, she quickly recovered and frankly said, "That’s right!"
"Ha..." Ji Dantong could hardly believe her ears, but soon, she heard clearly.
"I really am fond of Hunter, and I’ve successfully made him feel good about me. So, next, I’ll strive hard for a chance to go out."
At this point, Sun Miaohan slightly raised her head and assertively said, "According to my estimation, after one or two attempts, I can make Hunter fall in love with me and unable to extricate himself!" freewebnovёl.ƈom
After speaking, Sun Miaohan walked straight past Ji Dantong, heading towards the pavilion in front. As she passed Ji Dantong, her clear eyes were suddenly occupied by complex emotions.
This scene, obviously, Ji Dantong couldn’t see.
...
Standing in shock for a long time, Ji Dantong finally returned to her senses, her regret driving her to want to bang her head against the wall.
In Ji Dantong’s view, Sun Miaohan’s words were naturally nonsense, without a shred of credibility.
But just now, her reaction betrayed some truth to the other side.
Thinking of this, Ji Dantong felt numerous worries flooding in, causing her temple to throb faintly.
As for Sun Miaohan’s plan, Ji Dantong didn’t need to think hard to guess the outline; the latter would definitely use her momentary distraction to exploit whatever topic, completely controlling her emotions.
At this moment, Ji Dantong was somewhat shaken about whether to hang up the "no battle" sign before confirming the bet’s content and rules?
However, there was one sentence in Sun Miaohan’s words that indeed affected Ji Dantong.
It was that she would strive for the opportunity to go out...
Thinking to herself, Ji Dantong had secretly made a firm decision that she would fiercely compete in the upcoming opportunities to go out. Regardless of the truth of Sun Miaohan’s words, she must not give her this chance!
With a grim face, enduring the aches over her body, Ji Dantong walked with difficulty down the road, yet she didn’t notice that when she made the decision, her mindset had subtly changed...

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. During these two days, Xiao Tian was flipping through books from ancient times to the present, all potentially containing Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation, while also monitoring Ghost Face’s condition.
Currently, aside from being unconscious, all of Ghost Face’s other physical signs were perfectly normal, not developing into a crisis.
But Xiao Tian couldn’t be blinded by the apparent tranquility; last time, if he hadn’t stumble upon it, Ghost Face would probably no longer be alive. He certainly couldn’t guard Ghost Face twenty-four hours a day.
Therefore, the only way to resolve this crisis was to wake Ghost Face up.
In other words, as long as Ghost Face remains unconscious, similar methods have the potential to exist, leaving Xiao Tian unable to relax.
However, as he was overwhelmed and speed-reading, searching for the keyword Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation, the long-awaited call from the web finally came...
"Did you find it?!" As soon as the call connected, Xiao Tian immediately asked impatiently.
On the other side, the web’s exhausted voice sounded, "Next time, for such matters, don’t call me. Helping you find that Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation practically wore me out these past two days."
Xiao Tian’s heart immediately skipped with joy, "So, you found it?"
"Of course, I put in so much effort, if I couldn’t find it, I’d say it doesn’t exist!"
