He really wanted to have a drink with Hun Dun, but Hun Dun didn't want to drink with him. Hun Dun only wanted to cause trouble.

It was a one-sided love on his part.

Luo Jiujiang spit out a mouthful of white vinegar with a "puff," then wiped the dampness from the corners of his mouth awkwardly. The acidity of this mouthful was at least dozens of times higher than that of ordinary white vinegar, and the flavor still lingered on his taste buds, forcing him to grimace unceremoniously for a moment.

But after a while, when Luo Jiujiang recovered a little, he thought about the old vinegar he had drunk by accident and found it funny. He couldn't help but pat the ground beside him and laughed.

"Thank you for your hospitality." Luo Jiujiang smiled and said to the dark and empty void, "I will accept this special declaration of war - it suits my taste."

"Come." Luo Jiujiang said in a deep voice, his palm still pressed flat on the rough ground without letting go: "Since you won't fight me and won't let me escape, then watch me step by step and see how I change you."

——————————

When Feng Xue's spiritual sense swept over Han Qianling's figure from afar, he almost mistook him for a stone statue.

Every time she'd seen Han Qianling before, he'd usually been with Luo Jiujiang. In the brief time they'd spent together in the Suzaku Realm, she'd viewed him as a kind person purely on the basis of his looks and her imagination. But after seeing through Han Qianling's true colors, the close relationship he shared with Luo Jiujiang, and vice versa, gave her the illusion that his skills were all focused on displaying affection.

So it was not until now that Feng Xue realized how unusual Han Qianling would become after leaving Luo Jiujiang.

It’s not that Han Qianling became cold-blooded, cruel, or wantonly vented his hatred that had accumulated for thousands of years. He just became silent like a stone, trying his best to reduce his existence, and no longer had any interest in anything. No matter how he looked at it, he didn’t look like he was alive.

Feng Xue walked to Han Qianling and stretched out her finger, but she couldn't decide for a long time whether to poke him or not: she was really a little afraid that Han Qianling had been petrified by the wind and would be completely turned into a pile of slag with just one finger from her.

Fortunately, just when she was in a dilemma, Han Qianling slowly turned his eyes to her.

"Miss Feng Xue?"

Feng Xue sighed and let out a long breath of relief.

"It's been nearly a month since you announced the teams were free to move. The teams from the Suzaku Realm and the Spirit Snake Realm haven't heard any orders from you. Master Han is truly a man of his word. He really does what he says he's going to do."

Han Qianling didn't respond emotionally to this seemingly discontented narrative. He simply replied calmly, "I've already taught them everything I need to teach them. Whatever they want to do, I'll let them do it."

"..." As the second person in the two teams who understood Han Qianling's personality, Feng Xue seriously suspected that the subtext of this sentence was "If they want to seek death, then let them go."

However, she hadn't come here to defend the two teams. Although she had mentioned it as an opening remark, it was just a casual remark. Feng Xue shook her head on behalf of the team members and quickly got to the point. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen Jiujiang in a month. Where's Jiujiang? If he were here, he wouldn't have just watched you throw the whole team out like that, would he?"

"Hmm." Han Qianling's eyebrows twitched, as if Feng Xue's words reminded him of something, and he quickly said, "If those four people from the Spirit Snake Realm really have something to do, let them come find me."

Then he blinked once, as if he was thinking and making a decision at that moment, and reluctantly added: "People from the Suzaku Realm can also come."

Feng Xue: “…”

Seriously, what does it mean to be as heartless as steel? Isn't this a living example? If she were truly someone from the Suzaku Realm, or a member of the Spiritual Snake Realm, then I'd have to lament that I'd been putting my trust in the wrong person for the past three years.

"Okay, I'll tell you when I see you." Feng Xue agreed without hesitation, but she didn't get off topic: "Where's Jiujiang?"

Han Qianling didn't hide anything from her. When she asked, he raised his chin and gestured for her to look over there: "Jiujiang is right there."

"What?" Feng Xue looked around twice in confusion, but still couldn't see anything. "It's flat here. Do you mean there's an underground palace underneath?"

Han Qianling sat quietly on the ground, unmoved by the wind, and very calmly corrected Feng Xue's view: "Miss Feng Xue is wrong, there is a mountain here."

"Huh?" Feng Xue looked back and forth between Han Qianling and the plain several times, thinking that if Han Qianling had not learned to joke with outsiders for the first time, then I must be blind.

However, Han Qianling did not give her the chance to ask a second question.

The next moment, Han Qianling had already risen from the ground, the silence and calmness on his face now shattered by shock and anger. In a flash, Han Qianling had drawn his sword, the tip of the blade gleaming coldly and pointed straight forward. He gritted his teeth and said, "Are you sneaking through Chencang?"

"How is this...?"

Before Feng Xue could finish his question, Han Qianling swung his sword without a word. His sword was so powerful that it seemed to carry the wrath of thunder. With the flash of lightning, the sword light flashed, and with the sound of rocks rolling to the ground, a hill that was originally as round as a sphere was neatly cut in half by him!

Feng Xue stared in amazement at the hill that suddenly appeared in front of her.

Not only was it round like a coconut, but it was also hollow, and when cut open it looked even more like a coconut. This shape and the association made Feng Xue swallow inopportunely. Just as she was subconsciously searching for Luo Jiujiang's whereabouts inside, Han Qianling had already leaped into the split mountain.
