The Slave Spirit Festival ultimately couldn't be celebrated. Considering Ye Qingya's existence, Qin Xiao didn't go too far.

After all, they had just started dating. Although the other person was aware of the situation, it felt a bit strange if they were being too promiscuous.

But there's still a long way to go, so take it slow and there will always be opportunities.

The next morning.

Qin Xiao sat up from Ye Qingya's embrace and rubbed his slightly sore lower back.

The methods of mature women should not be underestimated.

Awakened by Qin Xiao's movements, Ye Qingya slowly opened her eyes, staring at Qin Xiao's muscular body in surprise, and subconsciously gripped the blanket tightly.

Qin Xiao smiled. "My dear Mayor, Sister Qingya, are you still not quite there yet?"

Ye Qingya's face flushed red, and she buried her head in the blanket.

Although everything was voluntary, although last night's ecstasy...

But I still feel a little embarrassed when I think back to that crazy night.

"You, you turn around." Ye Qingya's voice came from under the blanket.

Qin Xiao chuckled and reached out to lift the blanket. "What's wrong? Is Sister Qingya shy? Hurry up and get dressed, the sun's already high in the sky."

Ye Qingya screamed and hugged the overflowing white rabbit with both hands.

"Turn around, I... I'm embarrassed."

"No!" Qin Xiao refused outright, and the two looked at each other in bewilderment.

Finally, feeling extremely uncomfortable being stared at, Ye Qingya began to cover herself up while getting dressed.

However, due to certain outstanding physical conditions, it always feels like some kind of special seductive play.

"Sister Qingya, I remember seeing a pearl necklace at your house before, is it still there?"

Qin Xiao's voice rang out softly.

Ye Qingya paused, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Qin Xiao smiled and took two steps forward, while Ye Qingya shrank back behind the bed.

"You really can't remember? That pearl was so big and white, I remember it vividly!"

"I can't remember. I... I need to go wash up."

Ye Qingya was about to push Qin Xiao away and leave when she spoke.

Bai Ling appeared in the room, holding a small strip of cloth strung with pearls in her hand.

"I have some, I have some. Master bought a lot before, and I haven't finished wearing them yet. Here, take them, Sister Qingya."

Qin Xiao looked at Bai Ling with approval; she was so sensible.

Qin Xiao lifted the strip of cloth. "Sister Qingya, you don't want me to be unhappy, do you?"

Half an hour later, downstairs at the Adventurers' Guild.

Qin Xiao sat on Ilya's back, while Ye Qingya in his arms swayed from side to side, her expression strange.

Qin Xiao smiled and hooked his arm around her voluptuous waist. "What's wrong, Mayor? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Qingya glanced back at Qin Xiao and said, "You know best where I'm not feeling well, you little rascal."

Hehe, Qin Xiao got a good deal but is still acting innocent.

Qin Xiao took out the map given to him by Slovic, looked at it, and Ilya began to move forward.

After leaving the city, switch to Youyou or Yunyun, and we should be able to reach the Bloodstained Caverns by tonight.

The Bloodstained Cavern is an underground world, and there are several passages leading to it, the closest being an underground cave located on the edge of the dynasty.

This is also Qin Xiao's destination.

The entrance to this underground cave is a reserved passage for the Swan Clan; it is not the passage used by ordinary adventurers or the current humans of Earth.

Meanwhile, in the inn next to the Adventurers' Guild, a gaunt man hurried upstairs and knocked on the door.

"My lord, they have already set off. Shall we follow them?"

The man turned around by the window, revealing himself to be none other than Wang Yeyun, the third master of the Wang family.

At this moment, the man asked calmly, "Have you found out where they're going?"

The gaunt man bowed respectfully and said, "Your subordinate is incompetent. This kid's whereabouts are well-kept secret; we haven't been able to gather any intelligence."

Wang Yeyun nodded, not surprised at all.

"Get ready, follow them. Has the Spirit Incense been placed up there?"

"I released it, but I was worried about being discovered, so I didn't release much. It was just some of it diffused into the air and onto the other person, but I think it should be enough."

"Alright, let's go. We'll make our move when we get to a secluded place. This kid has a powerful backer, so we can't leave a trace. Anyone who leaves a clue will have to commit suicide."

Finally, Wang Yeyun said coldly, and then pushed open the door and went out first.

Once outside the hotel, more than a dozen figures dispersed into the crowd and followed in the direction Qin Xiao had gone.

On the other side, Qin Xiao rode on Ilya's back.

"Sister Qingya, do you smell anything strange?"

Ye Qingya was still adjusting her posture when she heard this and shook her head. "No, what's wrong?"

Qin Xiao shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking it."

In fact, Qin Xiao himself didn't smell anything; it was Slovic who reminded him that someone harbored ill intentions towards him.

Although Slovic did not delve into the dark side of someone, he could sense some of the malice.

Yunyun also said that strange tiny powders floated onto his body.

It seems that a little mouse is following behind us on this trip to the secret realm.

I just don't know if they are the natives of this secret place, a cult, or... the Wang family?

After all, he doesn't actually have many enemies right now. If someone is really targeting him, even a fool could guess how many.

However, the highest level in this secret realm is only Diamond, so Qin Xiao wasn't worried at all.

Since the other party wants to have some fun, then play along and have some fun with them.

Soon, they left the city. Qin Xiao did not call out Youyou, but continued to ride on Ilya's back, leisurely walking forward.

Occasionally, one can admire the scenery and flirt with the beautiful lady, which is quite pleasant.

Moreover, in order to get the other party to show up sooner, Qin Xiao deliberately chose a route that avoided towns and instead opted for a deserted area.

The plan was to arrive at the destination by evening, but we wandered around for most of the day and didn't even get halfway there.

"These people are such cowards!"

Qin Xiao complained irritably.

"Ilya, let's find a place to rest up ahead. It's getting dark. If they don't come out tonight, we'll just leave. We can't be bothered to wait any longer."

Ilya quickened her pace and found a sheltered mountain pass a few dozen kilometers ahead.

Rock protection, ground hardening, treehouse – the entire process is already quite smooth.

Ilya helped Slovic prepare food, while Qin Xiao led Ye Qingya into the treehouse.

There was nothing else to it, I just wanted to see the pearls.

About a hundred miles away, seventeen or eighteen people were discussing something.

"Sir, shall we make our move? This place is already very secluded. If we can finish this quickly, no one should find out."

One of them was holding a jade box, inside which a strange beast resembling a bee or moth was hissing.

Wang Yeyun surveyed the surrounding terrain. "This is a good place. Number Three, you take your men and move closer first, then release the Divine Smoke."

"Number One, you prepare to block the pass from the other side. Number Two, you lead a frontal assault, aiming for a decisive kill!"

Wang Yeyun's arrangements were very conservative, after all, judging from the videos shown, the opponent's strength should not be underestimated.

To ensure the success of this ambush, he specially requested the Divine Smoke from the patriarch.

Although this smoke is called smoke, it is actually a kind of soul toxin secreted by the ancestor's tamed beasts, and it exists in spiritual energy, making it impossible to guard against.

Although the patriarch had warned him against having any improper thoughts, Wang Yeyun was well aware of this.

If he truly wasn't allowed to do anything, the ancestor wouldn't have so easily bestowed this deadly weapon upon him.

After this, when I return to the Wang family, I suppose it will be time for me, Wang Yeyun, to take the position of family head.
