Chapter 34 Thirty-Four Slashes "Aren't you going to prepare to annul the engagement first?"...
Upon hearing this, Xie Changming raised his handsome eyebrows slightly and looked at the Soul-Calling Bell lying in Luo Mingshu's palm, trembling slightly.
He pursed his lips and asked calmly, "Have you been searching for him all this way?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Mingshu complained, "Yes, I don't know how many spirit stones I've spent searching for him. How can there be such a troublesome man in this world?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She also remembered the plot in the original book where she liked him, and in her anger, she slapped the throne twice with her hand.
Xie Changming hooked the Soul-Summoning Bell from Luo Mingshu's palm with one finger, and the bell made a soft ringing sound when it was touched.
"Let me borrow it to play with, and I'll find it for you," Xie Changming said to her.
Luo Mingshu asked, "Do you know how to use it?"
Xie Changming naturally knew how to use it. Although the Soul-Summoning Bell was a precious item in human sects, it was just an ordinary little thing in his eyes.
“Then you help me find it.” Luo Mingshu was happy to pass on the task. “I’ll give you spirit stones after you’ve done it.”
Xie Changming flicked the bell with his finger, but when he touched it again, the bell stopped moving, as if it was too frightened to make a sound.
Luo Mingshu shouted, "You broke it!"
Xie Changming denied it: "I didn't."
His plan was to follow the guidance of the Soul-Summoning Bell and take care of that junior brother while he was at it.
But the other party seemed very vigilant and had already moved out of the sensing range of the Soul-Summoning Bell.
“He should have been nearby just now, but he’s left.” Luo Mingshu retrieved the Soul-Summoning Bell and examined it. The bell was indeed undamaged; Wei Qing had simply left the bell’s sensing range on his own. The bell’s sound was already extremely weak, and now that they hesitated, he had left the range on his own.
"He's in this trial scenario." Luo Mingshu stroked her chin thoughtfully. "Should I go find him now?"
“No need,” Xie Changming said immediately.
“Once we complete this trial scenario, all the cultivators within the scenario will have their progress automatically calculated. After that, he will leave the Misty Star Sea, so there’s no need to search for him,” Xie Changming told her.
Luo Mingshu thought about it and agreed. Finding Wei Qing was just a side thing. As long as she confirmed that he was in this scene, she would focus on clearing the level. After the settlement, he would naturally leave the Misty Star Sea.
So she got lazy again, simply lay back on her throne, and said lazily, "Then I'll look for it next time."
"Is there anything important about my junior brother?" Xie Changming asked her.
"What's so important about him? It's just a task assigned by his sect." Luo Ming pulled out a fruit plate from somewhere, picked up a piece of fruit, and put it in his mouth.
"Your sect...you have a sect in the mortal realm?" Xie Changming also moved his body slightly back, so from outside the hall, the two really looked like they were snuggling together.
"I belong to the same sect as my master. I didn't have the chance to leave the sect before because I had to protect my master's physical body." Luo Mingshu rested her chin on her hand and said softly, "There are no secrets. Even my master's disappearance was a major event that everyone in the human realm knew about a hundred years ago."
"Before you met your master..." Xie Changming asked him the question he was most curious about.
"I forgot. My master found me and took me back as soon as I woke up. She doesn't know where I came from either," Luo Mingshu blinked and said softly.
Xie Changming just stared at her quietly for a long time before his deep voice asked, "How many years ago?"
“It was two hundred years ago.” Luo Mingshu finished the last piece of fruit in the fruit plate and took out a silk handkerchief to carefully wipe her hands.
Xie Changming lowered his long eyelashes and remained silent. Even now, he still didn't know how to face her.
He never expected her to turn into a human. How could such a small fish suddenly have a human form?
Luo Mingshu chatted casually with him until she suddenly came to her senses: "Anonymous cultivator, why are you asking so many questions?"
"I know my teammates." Xie Changming said without batting an eye, having already prepared his answer. "My surname is Xie, and my given name is Changming."
Luo Mingshu nodded: "That's a good name."
Xie Changming looked down at her hand resting at her side; her wrist was fair and white, like it was covered in frost. He thought, yes, it really is a good name.
Luo Mingshu rested her chin on her hand and asked him, "Is 'Shushu is so beautiful' nice to listen to?"
Xie Changming: "..." How am I supposed to answer that question?
So he truthfully said, "It doesn't sound very good."
Luo Mingshu thought that Lu Yaoyao was indeed unreliable. With this online name, she couldn't fool any suckers at all. Even the most skilled sucker, the anonymous cultivator, thought the name was unpleasant.
"If it doesn't sound good, it doesn't sound good. I won't change it." Luo Mingshu sat up. She felt she needed to do something productive, such as gathering useful information about the exploration scene or looking for clues about Wei Qing.
However, just as she sat up, Han Yu, who was outside the hall, approached her tremblingly.
Luo Mingshu: "..." What's wrong? Are you the only capable fairy in Wuji Palace?
"What brings you here?" Luo Mingshu called her in.
Han Yu's gaze fell on Xie Changming's side. She didn't even dare to look Xie Changming in the eye. She moved her feet, but didn't dare to step in.
“He doesn’t eat people.” Luo Mingshu nodded to Han Yu.
Han Yu lowered her head and rushed in, then handed a booklet to Luo Mingshu.
"What is this thing?" Luo Mingshu muttered to herself, while Han Yu dashed away in a flash.
Xie Changming wasn't interested in these things, but Luo Mingshu opened the booklet with great interest.
This booklet is probably a compilation of the day's events in the celestial realm; all the major events that happened today are written down in it.
The most eye-catching title is this one—
[The Heavenly Prison Demon Clan escaped, and their leader, numbered 19, released his own kin. One of them stormed into the Wuji Palace—all because the Supreme Immortal Lord's supposed Daoist partner, the stunningly beautiful goddess, had insulted him?!]
[A little fairy brings you live coverage: A stunningly beautiful goddess, heartbroken over her unrequited love for the Supreme Immortal Lord, has spent thousands of years alone in her desolate immortal palace. Overwhelmed by loneliness, she falls ill from love, despondent, and joins forces with the demons.]
Luo Mingshu's gaze fell on the words "illness caused by love" and "self-abandonment." She wanted to drag out the celestial official who wrote this newsletter and beat him up.
But the other news stories that followed reminded her of certain people.
[The young lady of Penglai Immortal Island, a prodigy with a love for eating, holds a position in the Heavenly Palace at a young age. However, she has a fiancé who has lost all his immortal essence—the capable young master of the Yangchuan family. What will happen today? We eagerly await the answer!]
In the Eastern Paradise, there are two sisters who look alike but have vastly different personalities. The celestial lord of the Eastern Paradise once harbored a crush on one of them, a fairy named Xiao'e. However… later… Xiao'e, once considered the celestial lord's ideal woman, returns from the Demon Realm. What kind of drama will unfold when the former ideal woman and her substitute meet?
[...]
As Luo Mingshu read the news, she found it increasingly interesting. After thinking for a moment, she stood up from her throne: "Someone in the Heavenly Realm wants to annul an engagement. Shall we go and join in the fun?"
Xie Changming asked her, "Aren't you going to call off the engagement first?"
Luo Mingshu slapped her thigh and said, "If the engagement is called off, this luxurious temple will no longer be mine. I would rather inherit the estate."
Xie Changming thought about it and realized that Luo Mingshu had indeed thought things through more thoroughly.
They also planned to check out the other teams and gather some intelligence, so they decided to go together to watch the grand drama of the young lady from Penglai Immortal Island annuling her engagement.
