Chapter 118 Merchants on the Edge of the Dark Domain



They said goodbye to Hope Base and the others.

Gu Mingyue drove the Ammodillo, a gift from her friend, toward the Black Domain she remembered.

In her past life, she forced herself into such a dangerous situation to protect her family.

This time, however, she did it for herself.

After driving all day, they finally reached the edge of the Black Domain, and Gu Mingyue finally stopped to rest.

Before getting off the bus, she called Xinghe to prepare for entering the Black Domain.

"Xinghe, I want to dye my hair blonde, can you help me!"

Gu Mingyue took out hair dye from her spatial storage and handed it to Xinghe.

Then he pulled out a small stool and sat down, without even putting up a mirror, showing complete trust in Xinghe's craftsmanship.

Xinghe is meticulous and rigorous in his work. To avoid getting the RV dirty, he used a space cover to separate the spray before spraying.

After drying her hair, she took out two mirrors and asked Gu Mingyue to check them.

Gu Mingyue lifted a strand of hair to examine it, and seeing that not a single black hair was showing, she smiled with satisfaction.

When she had black hair, her overall beauty was somewhat cool and aloof.

Now, she has suddenly changed to a head of golden wavy hair, which, paired with bright red lips, makes her look even more alluring.

Xinghe was stunned, a hint of desire appearing in his usually cool eyes.

Gu Mingyue noticed his change, a playful smile appearing on her lips. She wrapped her arms around Xinghe's neck and, amidst his puzzled expression, quickly kissed his cheek.

Xinghe's hand holding the mirror trembled slightly.

"Boss, I have some hair dye on me, be careful not to get it on you."

He put the mirror away and said softly.

Gu Mingyue looked up, her amber pupils meeting his jet-black eyes.

Her eyes flashed with a look different from usual; it was fear.

Although she successfully obtained that gold crystal source in her previous life, she almost lost half her life at that time, and half of her abdominal cavity was pierced.

Thinking about that kind of pain, she suddenly felt weak all over, and once she entered the Dark Domain, she could no longer hide in the spatial dimension. She was terrified that something unexpected would happen.

But she had no choice but to go in. There were crystal cores with more energy in the Dark Domain. She couldn't bear the thought that everyone else was making progress while she herself was becoming weaker because of her cowardice.

What I fear even more is that once the Dark Domain matures, it will emerge and seize control of the Blue Star, just like in my previous life, slaughtering humans like pigs and dogs.

She had to go in, and she had to obtain the Dark Lord's Crystal Source.

"It's just a piece of clothing, I can just throw it away." For the first time since the apocalypse, she huddled silently in Xinghe's arms.

I could smell the natural fragrance he carried as he walked through the peach and bamboo grove.

"Xinghe, I'm a little scared, and I suddenly want to run away. Can you comfort me?"

She buried her face in Xinghe's full chest muscles, suddenly looking like an insecure child.

Gu Mingyue rarely showed such unease. Xinghe lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, and then he reached out his warm hand to gently stroke Gu Mingyue's newly dyed hair.

"Master, don't be afraid. I will go in with you. As long as I am here, I will not let you get hurt."

"What if I told you that you would also die in the Dark Domain?" Gu Mingyue continued to ask in a muffled voice.

That's completely unnecessary. When she dies, the space and the galaxy will perish along with her.

“Then I will die before my master,” Xinghe continued earnestly, without a trace of fear in his eyes that he would disappear.

"...If you get injured in the Dark Domain, it will hurt a lot too." Gu Mingyue paused for a moment before saying.

“Master, I’m not afraid of pain.” Xinghe said even more earnestly.

Actually, these words were Gu Mingyue's way of backing out.

Is she really going to go in so soon? She's living a very comfortable life now, what if she dies?

She might as well live peacefully for ten years, but she was even more greedy and wanted to live longer than in her previous life.

Gu Mingyue suddenly looked up, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Xinghe's neck, and kissed Xinghe's rosy lips fiercely.

Xinghe's eyes showed only a slight surprise, then he quickly closed his eyes and tightly hugged Gu Mingyue's slender and firm waist and back.

Perhaps it was because winter was approaching, the sandstorms outside had subsided considerably, and the moonlight streamed in through the car windows like water.

Like a soft veil, it draped over the two people embracing and kissing.

The two separated much later, their cheeks slightly flushed.

It took me a long time to calm down before I backed down.

...

Gu Mingyue lazily rested in the RV for one night before going out the next morning.

Xinghe created two golden masks in the space according to her ideas, with lifelike phoenix patterns carved on them.

His hair also changed to the same color scheme as Gu Mingyue's.

Then, the two of them, dressed in this shiny and strange outfit, headed towards the edge of the dark realm to gather information.

A huge black dome stands in the middle of a stretch of yellow sand.

The humanoid monsters may indeed have an instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm; not a single humanoid monster can be seen within two kilometers of the Black Domain.

Some daring people might simply settle down in the vicinity.

The Dark Domain is closed during the day; neither monsters nor humans can enter or leave, and no sounds can be heard from within.

Many people who travel from afar to enter the Black Domain will even drive to the vicinity of the Black Dome early in the morning to wait for the Black Domain to open at midnight.

Where there are people, there is business.

People kept setting up stalls along the black area, hawking their wares.

Some newcomers to the vicinity of the Black Domain, curiously tapped on the Black Domain shield, producing a crisp tapping sound.

As Gu Mingyue and her companion walked among the bustling street stalls, their clean clothes and striking golden hair drew a lot of attention.

Although they all felt it was a bit strange that the two were wearing masks, they had seen too many strange things living on the edge of the Black Domain. They just glanced at them a few more times and didn't say anything more.

No one is foolish enough to deliberately offend others; on the contrary, the people here are exceptionally polite and peaceful.

Perhaps they were afraid of being remembered for revealing their true colors.

After glancing at each other, they all went about their own business and started hawking their wares.

"Fresh vegetables grown by a Level 2 ability user! Don't miss out! Look at these crisp, juicy bok choy and bright red, juicy tomatoes."

A man with a scar over his eye licked his chapped lips and walked over to ask how much the tomatoes cost.

"One level-two crystal core for one tomato," the vendor shouted.

"What? Why don't you just rob me! Before the apocalypse, a tomato wouldn't even sell for ten yuan at most, and you actually want a level two crystal core from me? Do you know how hard it is to kill a level two humanoid monster!"

The vendor didn't even glance at it, and gave a disdainful snort.

"Heh, someone who struggles to even kill a level two humanoid monster, are you looking for death in the Dark Domain?"

Enraged, the man conjured a fireball the size of a basketball in his hand and angrily hurled it at the vendor's vegetable stall.

The vendor, who was originally of ordinary appearance, waved his hand lightly, and a mud wall appeared between the two of them.

They easily blocked the fireball.

Gu Mingyue observed carefully and realized that this was a level three early-stage earth-type ability user.

The seemingly ordinary-looking vendors here are all hidden talents, either late-stage level two ability users or early-stage level three ability users.
