Chapter 128 The Domineering CEO's Runaway Rooster
Hua Li and Ao Bai were both taken aback.
Wait a minute, what's that sound?
You search high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!
The quest giver who lost 300,000 spirit stones because of her mistake is actually here!
As Huali stood atop the wall, about to move, she saw the young man in black draw his longsword in a beautiful arc, the blade pointing directly at her. "Coming from next door to provoke us?"
The other person was clearly about the same age as her, but his brow bone was sharp, like an unsheathed knife.
Thanks to Lian Zhuo's foresight, Hua Li no longer dared to underestimate the chosen one of destiny selected by the cards.
Who knows, they might all be big shots in disguise.
She cleared her throat and pointed to the card above the other person's head, which already had a small star lit up. "I'm here to pick something up. That's my card. Can you give it back to me?"
Hurry up, just touch it and you can light up another one, and her fire card will have a new skill.
Karin was inwardly urging herself on, but on the surface she maintained a standard eight-tooth smile.
Shen Yu frowned as he looked at the unfamiliar girl on the wall. A camellia branch brushed against the hem of her lotus-colored skirt; she seemed vaguely familiar with her, but couldn't quite place it.
The boy flipped his wrist to sheath his sword, and the card hit the scabbard and was flung directly in front of Karin, stopping an inch from her nose.
"Grab your things and leave now."
Leaving is impossible, and it's impossible before it's lit up.
If you had a mirror, you would see that her expression is exactly the same as a weasel paying respects to a chicken.
Now that gold cards are unusable, only earth and wood cards are left. The secret realm is about to open again, and even a fool would know to upgrade their equipment!
Shen Yu felt uncomfortable under the girl's intense gaze, frowned and coldly rebuked, "Don't you want your eyes anymore?"
Huali nodded at the person in front of her whose lips were laced with venom. Fine, since the usual methods weren't working, then don't blame her for using some technology and ruthless tactics.
She was trying to stage an accident, and she grabbed the handle with her hand.
The award-winning actress makes a powerful comeback, and as Huali grabs the card, she lets out a perfectly timed low exclamation, "Eh? Why is the corner of my card broken?"
She squatted on the wall, "Did you bump your head on your sword just now?"
Shen Yu, whose Lone Deer Sword had never failed, was speechless.
Meeting the boy's sweeping gaze, Huali changed her tone and said in a seemingly generous manner, "It's okay, I know you didn't do it on purpose."
"How about this, I live next door, you can return it to me after you fix it?"
Shen Yu understood everything when he saw the girl smilingly handing over the cards. He immediately sneered, "Save your breath."
Huali: "?" So smart?
"This kind of 'playing hard to get' tactic is something I stopped writing in storybooks from twenty years ago." He casually picked up a peach from the plate, tossed it up, and caught it again. "Give up, this general has no interest in women. I'd rather..."
"What? You like men?!"
Upon hearing only the first half of the sentence, Huali gasped in shock. Fire-type cards are so trendy?
The peaches crashed to the ground with a loud thud.
Shen Yu suddenly turned his head, flames spreading in his amber pupils. "This general is telling you to give up! Give up, do you understand?!"
"I don't understand," Hua Li continued to feign ignorance. Ao Bai, wiggling his hips, looked around for a while before finally jumping onto the wall. His first words were, "Huh? How come this fire-type card is at the peak of the Golden Core stage?"
Golden Core? Hua Li shook her head decisively, "Impossible."
Judging from the examples of the previous three chosen ones, this golden core will only make her more convinced that the other party is a mysterious big shot.
The two, one human and one cat, were exchanging words back and forth, completely unaware of Shen Yu's sudden stiffening of his body after Ao Bai appeared.
He activated the teleportation array in his hand, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Ao Bai was about to continue observing when he turned around and saw that the person was gone. "Meow?"
Huali followed the gaze and saw that the courtyard was empty.
A person and a cat squatted on the wall, staring at each other for three seconds before suddenly grinning maliciously.
Man, you've successfully caught her attention!
*
The next morning.
As soon as it was light, the Seven Stars Array had already gathered a large number of people.
Hua Li yawned as she followed behind Mo Ziyan. Yesterday, she and Ao Bai took turns squatting on the wall until late at night, but whether he was avoiding her or had something really going on, he didn't come back all night.
The morning breeze carried a hustle and bustle as Huali looked around at the people gathered in twos and threes, and for a moment she had the illusion that she was getting up early to board a bus.
Tang Wanwan got angry at her deadpan attitude and slapped her with her paw. "Wake up! I didn't sleep all night and I wasn't like you! People would think you've been bewitched by some vixen!"
Ao Bai nodded listlessly, just as he had been. The domineering CEO Li's escaped rooster, no problem.

The Dream Realm is about to open. Based on past experience, all major sects will prioritize gathering their disciples who will participate in the trial and formulate corresponding plans.
In order to maximize their benefits, disciples from each sect would travel in groups when they first entered the secret realm, and only act individually after they had gathered all the resources.
Tang Wanwan was summoned by Mo Ziyan yesterday precisely because of this.
Hua Li stared at her with deadpan eyes, "You're a cultivator, you can go three days without sleep, but if I don't sleep for three days, I'll just die."
Actually, she wasn't worried about this trial for independent cultivators. Before her wood-type card was upgraded, she was already able to go toe-to-toe with the Demon King Soli. Now that she had both earth and wood-type cards, even if her metal-type card failed, it wouldn't be a big problem for her.
Upon hearing his host's thoughts, Ao Bai froze, and, unusually feeling guilty, asked, "Meow? Didn't I tell the host?"
As soon as Ao Bai uttered the jingle, Hua Li felt a bad premonition.
She glanced at it, signaling it to spit it out. Then the evil little cat spoke, "The host disobeyed the mission initiated by headquarters. Not only was the gold-type card struck by heavenly lightning, but the host's strength also dropped to the early stage of the Golden Core realm."
"What?!" The drowsiness vanished instantly, and Huali grabbed Aobai by the neck. "Why didn't you wait until I was dead to tell me something so important?"
Ao Bai undulated in the air like a noodle, "I thought the host had sensed it!"
What's the feeling? She and Luo Chuan traveled together the entire way without ever having a chance to use their cards. Whenever a foolish monster showed its face, Luo Chuan would instantly kill it without batting an eye.
a bolt from the blue!
I initially thought it was a max-level player returning to the beginner village, but it turned out to be a restart.
But the wind and rain showed no sign of letting her go!
Mo Ziyan, who was leading the way, stopped and turned around, pointing towards the crowd. "Huali, those people are all in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and are ruthless. If you encounter them, you must be careful."
Tang Wanwan wasn't worried at all. "Senior Brother Ziyan, don't worry about it." She put her arm around Huali. "You can even deal with Zhanli, the Nascent Soul stage cultivator from the Witch Clan. These people are a piece of cake for you."
Hua Li, who had just learned that she was only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm: "..."
Mo Ziyan continued, "That's good. The rules have changed slightly this year. I heard from Senior Brother Mu that in previous years, the competition would stop when someone was just about to be hit, but this time everyone has to swear a soul oath before the competition, promising that if there is any danger, their life or death will not matter."
Tang Wanwan and Mo Ziyan said in unison, "It's fortunate that Huali has a high cultivation level."
Huali: "......"
Mom, she wants to go home!
Like a robot, her sleepiness was replaced by cold sweat as she trembled and turned her neck.
The competition starts tomorrow! Someone, please save her! Someone, please...!!!
"Ao Bai! Look who's that?!" Hua Li, on her deathbed, sat up in shock. "Isn't that my rooster?"
Not far away, a boy in red leaned against a tree with his arms crossed, the ends of his high ponytail being blown by the wind and brushing against his eyebrows.
Ten steps away from him, the dense crowd was all dressed in gray-brown robes, but in the morning sun, even his embroidered gold belt was shimmering with light.
Ao Bai spotted it at a glance: "!! It's him!"
Before she could finish speaking, Hua Li had already dashed out under the horrified gazes of Mo Ziyan and Tang Wanwan, jumping and waving her hands as she went, "Hey hey hey! Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist!"
Shen Yu, who was listening to the guards' instructions, lifted her eyelids, but her casual movements froze instantly when she saw Hua Li and Ao Bai on her shoulder.
Shen Yu subconsciously activated the teleportation array, but it was blocked by the Seven Luminaries Star Array.
Seeing that the two ghostly things were about to run over, his pupils contracted, and he turned and ran!
Karin acted faster than she thought, immediately chasing after the other person's retreating figure, shouting, "Don't run away!"
Who knew that if she hadn't shouted, things would have been better; the moment she did, the figures in front of her ran even faster!
Karin was furious. Fine, fine, so this is how you play it?!
She took a deep breath and shouted, "Ha!!!"
She has never lost a marathon!
