Although there were many and complicated things to do today, it did not affect Qin Xiao's sleep at all.
After a fierce battle, my whole body was sore and weak.
The next morning, Qin Xiao sat up in bed, his eyes vacant and his body weak.
"Worry has made me ill, and wine and women have harmed me to this extent. From now on, I will abstain from such thoughts and drinks!"
These words came from Qin Xiao's mouth, and Slovic next to him reached out to tease him.
"Master, what nonsense are you talking about? I've never seen you drink alcohol before. Is it really a problem with the alcohol?"
Qin Xiao coldly brushed away the other's fair hand, "Nonsense, I said it's wine, so it's wine."
She stood up and, with Bai Ling and Slovic trying to suppress their laughter, got dressed.
He sighed softly, missing the first day when the Jianmu tree was imbued with life essence.
As they went downstairs, Ye Qinghuan and the others were already used to it; Qin Xiao's routine had always been like this.
"I'm going out today to the next secret realm."
Qin Xiao picked up a steamed bun that Ye Qingya and Ilya had left behind and took a bite.
Lu Chengxiao turned his head from the sofa. "Leaving again? You're always so busy. You've only been back for two days."
Qin Xiao ate his breakfast without paying attention to himself. "Time waits for no one. The World Youth Championships are just around the corner. I need to improve my skills."
Absorbing spirit crystals is risky and doesn't conflict with anything, and it also allows me to find new beasts to tame. Staying at home is pointless anyway.
"I want to go!" Lu Chengxiao shouted immediately, his expression excited!
Qin Xiao didn't even look up, and the words he had just uttered came out of his mouth.
"You don't have the authority, so I can go but you can't."
Lu Chengxiao smiled slightly, "Haha, I exchanged my contribution points for a spot in a secret realm. Just tell me, where do you want to go!"
Qin Xiao was stunned. Looking at the other party's confident demeanor, he had a bad feeling.
This is outrageous! The young couple is on their honeymoon, and they're taking this third wheel with them? What's the point of them having fun?
Qin Xiao was speechless for a moment, his mind racing.
Looking at the other person's expression, Lu Chengxiao narrowed his eyes.
"You're not thinking of refusing again, are you? We've got this kind of relationship, is Master Qin really going to be so heartless as to not take me along?"
Hey sis, what's our relationship anyway? It's all thanks to you leeching off me!
To be honest, Lu Chengxiao is definitely not bad, but Qin Xiao really has no feelings for such an androgynous beauty with such a quirky personality.
But since they've already said all that, what else can we do?
"I haven't decided which secret realm to go to yet. I have two options: one is the Ghostly Realm, a post-apocalyptic world where evil spirits and some humans live together."
Another is the Cloud Sea Secret Realm, a special secret realm where the specialty is clouds—all kinds of clouds with different effects.
Deep down, Qin Xiao was inclined towards the Cloud Sea Secret Realm, even though the special cloud-like beings in this world didn't seem to possess much intelligence.
However, its advantage lies in its rich and unique functions. In any case, he has too many highly intelligent beasts around him, so he has no obsession with independent intelligence.
Moreover, he was somewhat averse to the other eerie realm; he worried that it would disgust him, and the thought of it still made him feel quite repulsed.
Although this secret realm could be considered for collecting some soul crystal materials, it didn't really appeal to Qin Xiao.
Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Lu Chengxiao confidently activated his bracelet to begin his search.
After examining them for a while, he frowned and asked, "Qin Xiao, what level are these two secret realms of yours?"
Qin Xiao was taken aback, but didn't think much of it. "They're all diamond-level secret realms."
Lu Chengxiao was even more puzzled upon hearing this, "That shouldn't be the case, I was looking at the Diamond-tier Secret Realm, why isn't it there..."
As she spoke, she suddenly realized, "This secret realm of yours wouldn't happen to be a reward spot from the Temple of the Gods, would it?"
Qin Xiao took the warm milk that Ilya handed him. "Yes, it's a reward for this league, a special dungeon spot."
Lu Chengxiao's face fell, and he looked somewhat sullen.
"It's hopeless. The only thing the academy's exchange slots can't be used for is the Temple of the Divine Realm. Ugh!! I'm so angry!"
As Lu Chengxiao spoke, he hugged a cushion on the sofa and began to sulk.
Qin Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still offered words of comfort.
"Well, maybe next time, definitely next time, there will be a chance."
Lu Chengxiao pouted, "Qin Xiao, how about we switch to a public secret realm? There are some powerful secret realms among the public slots!"
Besides, we can bring Qingya and Qinghuan along to another secret realm. Wouldn't it be great if we went together?
Qin Xiao glanced at Ye Qinghuan, who was also looking expectant on the sofa, and licked his lips. How could he say such a thing?
Ye Qingya doesn't need to go next time; she can go this time.
As the mayor of Qingzhou, her social status was naturally very different from that of ordinary beast tamers.
Although the Imperial Temple is a very high-level institution, Ye Qingya applied for it in advance last night and it was approved.
The treatment and benefits within this system are naturally different.
Qin Xiao had originally planned to find a public secret realm last night, but Ye Qingya said she could apply for one.
I just tried it, and it passed right away.
Although Lu Chengxiao is also a member of the Imperial Temple, to be honest, as a reserve member, his status is still far inferior.
"Ahem, well, Qingya is going with me this time, and she applied for another spot. Why don't you give it a try and see if it works out?"
Qin Xiao said in a low voice, which startled both Lu Chengxiao and Ye Qinghuan.
Then Ye Qinghuan looked at her mother who came out of the kitchen with a strange expression, her eyes filled with disbelief, suspicion and a hint of... jealousy.
Ye Qingya was also taken aback, somewhat hesitant to look at her daughter's reaction.
"Ah, I might be about to break through to a higher level soon, and I was looking for a suitable beast to tame, so Xiao Qin and I decided to team up to look for one."
"Little Qin is quite strong; perhaps he can find a very good tamed beast in this special secret realm. It's quite a coincidence."
Seeing the other person's guilty expression, Ye Qinghuan felt a bad premonition.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qin Xiao began to change the subject.
"Oh, well, Sister Qingya, why don't you go pack your things first? We need to get there early today. I heard the procedures are quite complicated."
Ye Qingya hurriedly went upstairs, "Oh, right, I'll go pack my things."
Ye Qingya went upstairs, and Qin Xiao stood up and pretended to do some exercise as he walked towards the courtyard.
Ilya glanced at him, then at the two people on the sofa who looked like abandoned puppies, and silently carried the tableware into the kitchen.
Bai Ling was tending to her flowers and plants in the backyard, pruning the branches and leaves while using her skills to heal them.
"Master, this can't go on. We'll be exposed sooner or later."
Qin Xiao stretched his body. "Let's take it one step at a time. Maybe after a while, everyone will have a better understanding of the situation, and things will be fine then."
A hint of pity flashed across Bai Ling's pretty face; her stinky master hadn't grasped the crux of the problem at all.
This is really cruel for a young girl.
No, perhaps the stinky owner did notice, but... dared not respond?
Bai Ling glanced at Qin Xiao's face with her bright, watery eyes.
"If you look again, you'll be punished with a spanking!"
The other person's gaze made Qin Xiao feel extremely uncomfortable.
