Cao Zhizhi and Liu Meifang had been wandering outside the barrier for over ten minutes. Liu Meifang was so focused on seeing the "handsome guy in uniform" that she had no time to think about anything else. Cao Zhizhi, however, was getting more and more scared the more he wandered.
Cao had originally wanted to take Liu Meifang and run away, but strangely, no matter how they walked, they couldn't find the door of Qingxin Bar.
Cao Zhizhi was so frightened that his face turned pale. Looking at the still bustling and noisy hall, Cao Zhizhi's pounding heart finally calmed down a little.
People are like this, they have a herd mentality. When they feel danger, they will feel more at ease when they see other people around.
Despite this, Cao Zhizhi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
Liu Meifang looked at Cao Zhizhi strangely. Cao Zhizhi's hands were sweaty, which made Liu Meifang feel uncomfortable. Liu Meifang wanted to pull her hand out of Cao Zhizhi's big palm, but Cao Zhizhi held it tightly.
Just when Liu Meifang was considering whether to express her unhappiness, she looked up and saw Zhu Xiaojun and Wen Ziqing not far ahead.
Liu Meifang quickly waved her free hand and called out, "Zhu Xiaojun, here, here."
Liu Meifang didn't dare to call Wen Ziqing directly, for fear that Wen Ziqing would ignore her and she would lose face.
Zhu Xiaojun turned around and saw Cao Yizhi and Liu Meifang following him, so he quickly stopped.
"Zhu Xiaojun, where did you go? My brother Yizhi and I have been looking for you for almost ten minutes, but we can't find you anywhere." Liu Meifang complained, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at Wen Ziqing beside her.
Zhou Yuanyuan had a decent smile on her face. She held Wen Ziqing's hand but secretly pinched a piece of flesh on the inside of Wen Ziqing's arm and twisted it hard.
[Hiss! It hurts so much. My Lord, spare me.] Wen Ziqing didn't know why Zhou Yuanyuan was angry, so he quickly begged for mercy. Of course! In front of so many people, Wen Ziqing didn't dare to say it out loud. This begging for mercy, of course, was transmitted through his spiritual consciousness.
Zhou Yuanyuan gave Wen Ziqing a proud look, then glanced at Liu Meifang beside her. She replied to Wen Ziqing via telepathy: [Humph! You're attracting a lot of attention!]
[Your Majesty, I've been wronged!] Following Zhou Yuanyuan's gaze, Wen Ziqing realized the fiery look Liu Meifang was giving him, and he couldn't help but shudder.
[What are you being wronged about? Shouldn't you be very proud of being favored by a beautiful woman? To hold the power of the world while awake, and to sleep on the lap of a beautiful woman while drunk, that's the dream of every man in the world!] Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes again and again, feeling extremely upset, and her subordinates secretly exerted their strength.
Hiss! It hurts so much! This time, Wen Ziqing didn't dare to cry out in pain. Instead, he took the opportunity to pour out his heart to Zhou Yuanyuan:
[Yuanyuan, I don't know about others, but I swear, no matter in the past, present, or the distant future, in my eyes and heart, there is only you, Zhou Yuanyuan.]
[Humph! You want someone else?] Zhou Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Wen Ziqing again, but her grip loosened considerably.
"I dare not, I dare not." Captain Wen's impassioned vows instantly faded into a gentle, kittenish voice. Seeing his little girl jealous for the first time, Wen Ziqing couldn't help but feel a tinge of sweetness. However, lovers fear misunderstandings when things remain hidden; explanations were necessary, and Wen Ziqing wasn't afraid of losing face in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
[Okay! Let’s forget about it this time. If there is a next time, the consequences... hehehe...] Miss Yuanyuan was finally satisfied and released the two fingers that were clamping the tender flesh on Wen Ziqing’s arm.
[Thank you, Your Majesty, for your keen observation!] Wen Ziqing flattered him seamlessly, determined to convince his little girl that he truly loved her.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were secretly flirting. Zhu Xiaojun noticed something was wrong with Cao Yizhi at first sight and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Hey? Brother Yizhi, are you sick? You look so pale!"
"I probably drank too much tonight and have a stomachache." Cao Zhizhi replied with a forced smile. For the past ten minutes, Cao Zhizhi's nerves had been strained. He had also had a few drinks and hadn't eaten much, so he did have a stomachache.
When Zhu Xiaojun and Cao Yizhi were talking, they were quite close. Cao Yizhi could even feel the hot breath coming out of Zhu Xiaojun's mouth when he spoke. Otherwise, Cao Yizhi would definitely have grabbed Liu Meifang's hand and ran away.
It really feels like seeing a ghost tonight!
Cao Zhizhi remembered clearly that they had just walked past the place where Zhu Xiaojun and the others had appeared a few seconds ago. There was clearly nothing there. In the blink of an eye, Zhu Xiaojun and the others appeared before Cao Zhizhi's eyes, as if they had appeared out of thin air.
"Cousin Yizhi." Wen Ziqing saw Zhu Xiaojun stop and greet Cao Yizhi, and it was not easy for him to pretend not to see him.
Zhou Yuanyuan curled her lips at Cao Yizhi and Liu Meifang without saying anything.
It’s not that Zhou Yuanyuan is arrogant, but at this time, Zhou Yuanyuan received Xiaoyu’s reminder.
"Master, be careful, someone has tampered here." Xiaoyu sensed the sudden danger and immediately reported it to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Under Xiaoyu's guidance, Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual consciousness extended into the air.
A strange big net appeared in the sky above the Qingxin Bar.
The net looked gray and unremarkable. Zhou Yuanyuan was a little surprised when she looked at it again.
How... luxurious! Zhou Yuanyuan took a deep breath.
This wasn't an ordinary net, but one woven from fine threads refined from the cultivators' soul power. How much soul power would it take to create such a large net with so many threads?
Translucent gray soul energy, like a solid substance, weaved and tumbled across the threads. The entire web resembled a spiderweb Zhou Yuanyuan had seen before, yet it was countless times larger. It was densest in the center, becoming increasingly sparse as it moved outwards. In mid-air, it completely enveloped the Qingxin Bar.
"Master, master, the soul smells so good, can Zhuzhu eat it?" With a "slurp", Chaos Zhu's saliva was almost flowing.
Zhou Yuanyuan was also secretly amazed. Such a large soul net contained an astonishing amount of soul power. If converted to the soul power of a normal cultivator, the soul power in this soul net was as much as the combined soul power of ten Jindan cultivators.
"Master, let Zhuzhu wait. Let's see what this net is trying to do first." Xiaoyu said hurriedly before Zhou Yuanyuan could say anything. Xiaoyu was really afraid of Chaos Pearl, a glutton who would pounce on food without thinking.
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded. Since Xiaoyu said to wait, it meant that this net posed no threat to Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing.
