Sure enough, Ye Ling Yue’s comment immediately caused a chain reaction and sent everyone’s attention over to the ice beauty.
Its not necessarily true they must get thirty-one people to head into the second cave tunnel, but who would want to test their luck when they’re this far into the game. As such, their awareness was now raised and on the lookout for anyone at odds against one another.
“Eh, it couldn’t be? Princess Ming Yue, are you telling me that you couldn’t snatch one from your side despite having so many helpers? Hoho, now that’s hilarious!” Totally asking for trouble, Ling Yue turns sarcastic in her tone just to spite the half-sister.
“What nonsense are you spouting! The Ninth Realm Reincarnation Dan pill have long been in our hands. It’s just that for the sake of safety, we are temporarily leaving it in my Brother Luo Song’s hands for now.” Unable to bare the girl’s arrogance, Hong Yu Ying (older one) ended up spilling the beans about the second pills whereabout without thinking it through.
If only the older sister didn’t mention it, but now that she did, the agonizing frustration that was caused by Luo Song had once again rushed up to Hong Ming Yue’s heart, gripping it and gnawing at her nerves.
As for Ling Yue herself, she didn’t know the exact situation about the other side; however, it has left her pondering if there’s something going on in the background in which she doesn’t know yet. After all, Hong Ming Yue’s a person of high ego, there’s no way she would favor someone like that who’s obviously depleted after overperforming the act at night.
Want to help that Hong Qing Yun break past the fifth element eh? We will see about that! Raising a devious smirk, Ling Yue actually began to casually stroll towards the specified man who held the second pill.
“Milord, what is Miss Ye doing?” Whispering beside the Phoenix Lord’s ear, Dao Nu became confounded by the girl’s action and quickly asked.
“It’s fine.” Watching that sly face, Feng Shen didn’t worry at all for he’s all too familiar with t he girl’s habit.
This man from the Three Life Valley better prey to the heavens and ask for their blessing….
It’s as per the Phoenix Lord says, Luo Song still hasn’t recovered his energy consumption from the earlier bouts with the traps and such. Furthermore, he’s still injured from the fight with Bo Qing during the fight at the Underground City. Whether it be from the previous failure or the current obstacles, the man was in no condition to try anything rash. Otherwise, why would this bastard let others steal the treasures under his nose while in the Star Cave?
Just as the filthy man was brooding over the difficult opponents here like Chen Minzhi and such, it was then that Ling Yue came walking over and into his sight.
Luo Song naturally became delighted over the girl’s sudden advances. In fact, he’s had his eyes on her ever since Ling Yue recovered from those “burns”.
No man could remain oblivious to the girl’s improved beauty! Not against those foxy eyes, nor those peachy lips, and most importantly, the seductive air that seems to exude out of the skin like its her natural scent.
“Sir Song, I can see your conditions aren’t doing so well. Do you need me to help you massage that out?” Her face all kind and full of goodwill.
That would of course earn a heavy grunt from Hong Ming Yue after she saw the girl’s blatant seductive attitude. However, the opinion didn’t apply to the male on the other hand, rather it only delighted him.
“I am very proficient in medicine and acupuncture. So, I can guarantee it will be very comfortable and soothing. Don’t worry Sir Song, we’re all in this together now so there’s no reason to be on guard. After all, I can’t exactly make a move while everyone’s watching, now can I?” Not giving the man a chance to deny, the girl’s hand has already reached over to grab the other side who unwilling left himself be caught.
Originally Luo Song still wanted to shake that hand off, but once he felt that slippery goodness, any will for defiance had left him. It’s too nice, so nice that even his soul seems to have left his body.
“How shameless can you be Ye Ling Yue.” Angered now, Hong Ming Yue moves up to pull at the man’s arm in a clear act of ownership.
“Oh Princess Ming Yue sure is temperamental. I’m guessing the girl’s angry now.” Between the exchanging sparks of their glares, Ling Yue have already used this chance to retract her hands.
“Don’t misunderstand Ming Yue, she’s only trying to check my vitals, we’re not together or anything!” Luo Song’s voice constantly drifts over, trying to explain himself like he’s already done something wrong.
But none of this mattered to Ling Yue anymore, she’s already gotten what she wanted. From beneath that hand wearing the special glove given to her by the three He Lao brothers, a certain little beady object now laid in her possession!
Hoho, the He Lao brother’s “Great Steal” technique isn’t just for show after all. They definitely didn’t see what I did just now.
Just now using the small opening created by the man’s mesmerized state, the girl has already swapped out the real one on Luo Song’s body with a fake. Of course, there’s no difference with the fake in order to mask the truth; in fact, it’s the first one she took from the Star Cave, just that it’s added with a little extra something to it!
Hong Qing Yun, fourteen years of karma is fourteen years of retribution. You ruined my mother back then so now I’m returning the debt in all its glory. We will see who gets the last laugh at the end!
If Ling Yue had to say there’s anything to regret from this, it would be the fact that she wouldn’t be able to witness the face of Hong Qing Yun’s gleeful moment when Hong Ming Yue gifts the deadly pill over.
Minutes later after a short break, everyone has pretty much recovered from their fatigue and was ready to go. As for the arguing pair from the Three Life Valley, it’s unsure what the man said but it’s obvious the issue has been resolved.
“Before entering the Star Cave’s second tunnel, I like to remind everyone something important.” At the beckoning of Cong Lu (royal guard captain), the lead alchemist from North Qing’s team steps forward to speak: “Unlike the third cave tunnel that we are in, the second cave tunnel is much more dangerous. Over the years, there’s been many who’s entered, but only three ever made it out alive. Of the ones who did so, there’s Master Hong Ru, the current Lord of the Dan Palace. I hope everyone understands what I’m implying by explaining this.”
Among the thirty-one individuals present today, only Little Squeak, Chen Minzhi and the old alchemist himself were unfazed. As for the rest, their complexions were all struggling in various forms over the dangers up ahead.
There are good reasons of course over their woes.
For one, everyone here knew exactly who Chen Hong Ru was and how capable that old relic was. However, this fact wasn’t always the case because the elder was actually a nameless figure prior to entering the Star Cave. This meant that it was precisely this very same month that they are spending in this sealed off place which created the mighty individual and all his glory during the past five hundred years.
Furthermore, Chen Hong Ru had on multiple occasions mentioned to the public that of his entire lifetime, the hardest period remains to this day of the one month he spent in the Star Cave. That’s how dreadfully difficult these trials are for even someone of that caliber.
