He immediately sat cross-legged and entered a meditative state. As soon as he entered a meditative state, he saw wisps of black energy swirling between his eyebrows. Even after circulating his qi for a week, the energy still did not dissipate.
"What exactly is hidden in this black mist? How come it just won't dissipate no matter what I do?"
For some reason, the half-smiling expression on Su Chen's face flashed through Yi Mofeng's mind, and he felt as if he had almost gone mad from practicing qi cultivation incorrectly.
“Su Chen, Su Chen…” He murmured the name with an inexplicable familiarity, as if he had been reciting it for millions of years.
Yi Mofeng: "Jing Rong."
A dark figure knelt down in the shadows. "Yes."
“If Chen’s mother is killed, the rest will be implicated.”
"yes."
Jing Rong accepted the task, but was inwardly surprised. When had his master ever ordered the killing of all these people in one go? Wasn't it always a long, calculated process, waiting for the right moment to strike?
Could it be that the master has become powerful enough that he no longer needs to hide from the imperial family?
Jing Rong was surprised and suspicious, but dared not neglect his duties and resolved these issues overnight.
The following day, more than ten people from the laundry department died suddenly overnight, and rumors spread like wildfire. Only after their burial did strange phenomena occur: insects and ants gathered on their graves, forming bizarre characters.
After that, rumors spread that they had offended the heavens by disrespecting them, and that this was the punishment that led to their sudden death overnight.
From then on, everyone kept quiet about the matter, and the number of people going to the temple to make offerings increased day by day, which provided Su Chen, who was hiding in the dilapidated temple, with plenty of food.
Su Chen didn't have to live a life of hardship while hiding in the temple, but she still got tired of eating too many of Ning Wucang's snacks.
Although the spiritual spring within the space has many wonderful uses, it doesn't really fill you up. After all these days of fussing, Su Chen's face has become much more delicate.
Ningwu patted his increasingly round belly and looked at Su Chen's increasingly slender figure, feeling as sour as if he had eaten a lemon.
Su Chen finally noticed the undeniable sourness and pinched Ning Wu's fat, saying, "If you throw away all your snacks, you'll definitely lose weight in less than a month."
The alarm bells blared in the mindless system, and it tightened its grip on the snacks in its arms. "You woman! Trying to take my snacks again! This system won't fall for your tricks!"
Just as the pink dumpling was about to mediate the fight, its pink fur suddenly turned red, its eyes went blank, and an electronic notification sound rang out from its mouth.
[Ding-dong: New mission: Help the female lead Jin Rulan seize the throne of Dongqiu Kingdom.]
Task deadline: 3 months
Mission Reward: 1500 points, one Life-Sustaining Pill.
Su Chen: ? ? ?
Ningwu: ...
"With these points plus the points accumulated from the end of this world, you should be able to go home," Ningwu said calmly, shaking his fur.
Su Chen's expression darkened, then she laughed and said, "Wow, it's been so many years since I've done a mission. I almost forgot I should do missions."
Su Chen slapped her forehead. Yes, she was a career-oriented person to begin with.
She's probably been too idle lately; she even has time to be sentimental and wonder if the villain truly loves her! Is that something she should be thinking about?
This quest notification sound was like a wake-up call for Su Chen.
Wasn't her initial goal simply to get some points and go home quickly? Regardless of the nature of the relationship, it should all be a thing of the past for her, since once she's home, those memories will simply disappear from her mind.
But... she was almost home, so why did she feel so heavy-hearted? It felt like a huge rock was pressing on her chest and she couldn't get it off.
Su Chen shook her head. This must be her imagination. She was going home soon, she would see her parents, she would see her silly roommate, she could continue her university studies and pay off her Huabei (a Chinese online payment platform).
Why...is she not so happy anymore?
