Chapter 344: Gather Together
After all, Lin Qingque’s behavior last night was too abnormal, it made him have to be on guard, he always felt that she was planning something.
But what exactly it was, he couldn’t ascertain.
However, he couldn’t just let it be because he was unaware.
Tao Tiantian thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head, denying his idea, “It’s very unlikely.”
“Very unlikely?”
She glanced at Lin Qingque and said, “The first scenario is impossible because her soul truly fell asleep, not ‘Feign Sleep’ self-hypnosis, and the second scenario isn’t very likely either. Putting one’s soul into sleep through self-hypnosis carries a significant risk of never waking up, which is essentially suicidal. Do you understand what I mean?”
“…I see.”
Xu Yuan rubbed his forehead, falling silent.
Lin Qingque, whom he was holding in his arms, didn’t hear the content of their telepathic conversation. Seeing him furrow his brow, she quickly extended her hand with some concern to smooth out his frown.
“I’m fine.”
Xu Yuan held her hand, smiling.
Lin Qingque blinked obediently and nodded, retracting her hand.
Could it be that I misunderstood her?
Xu Yuan observed her quietly, muttering to himself.
No!
Even if her current state wasn’t due to her hypnotizing herself, it must be related to her.
And about yesterday’s Memory Crystal, he clearly saw her using it, so why would she erase it afterward?
After thinking for a while longer, Xu Yuan still couldn’t understand what Lin Qingque really wanted to do.
Nonetheless, things that were unclear didn’t need too much thought.
Regardless, as long as he could ensure his cultivation level remained stronger than hers, just enough to suppress her, that would suffice.
“The Spiritual Tide has passed, let’s head deeper into the secret realm.”
At this moment, Tao Tiantian opened her eyes and casually suggested.
She had regained some strength and now had the means to explore the secret realm.
“Good!”
Xu Yuan had no objections.
Given Tao Tiantian’s severe injuries, they must search the secret realm for treasures that might heal her. Otherwise, if those Return to Void Monster Lords came seeking revenge, it would be far too late for concern.
“Senior brother?”
Seeing him stand up, Lin Qingque, who was quietly observing Tao Yaoyao and Tao Tiantian, also hurriedly got up and asked:
“Where are we going?”
After finishing her question, she seemed to shiver from the chill of the wind brought on by getting up too quickly, wrapping her arms around herself.
Xu Yuan briefly explained the situation of the secret realm to her.
“I see.”
Lin Qingque, whether she truly understood or not, showed a look of realization and said, “Don’t worry, senior brother, I won’t hold you back. Right now, it’s just that… huh, my Nascent Soul?”
Xu Yuan subtly averted his gaze, exchanging a glance with Tao Tiantian.
Seeing her subtly shake her head, he wasn’t too surprised.
After Tao Tiantian dismissed his speculation, he had asked her to pay extra attention to Lin Qingque to see if there were any signs of lying.
Although Tao Tiantian didn’t know the Mind-Reading Technique, it wasn’t too difficult for a Return to Void expert to determine whether someone was lying based on subtle fluctuations in one’s breath, facial expressions, and eye movements.
But Xu Yuan still wasn’t completely reassured.
If Lin Qingque could fool Tao Tiantian into believing part of her soul was indeed asleep, then tricking her into thinking that she wasn’t lying would also be a piece of cake.
“Let’s go.”
Watching Tao Yaoyao, silent and walking at the forefront, Xu Yuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, although he had no better solution.
…
As the group of four braved the snowy winds, pressing on deeper into the secret realm:
Outside the valley.
Several fearful wills converged at once.
The moment they appeared, the storms quieted, the leaves ceased trembling, and the animals stopped calling out, only cowering and shivering.
Dragon whiskers fluttered like vines, and in the void, a pair of eyes filled with the weight of ages slowly opened.
“It seems the Fox Lord must have entered the secret realm.”
“It apparently intends to use this place to recuperate. What does the Dragon Lord plan to do?”@@novelbin@@
A grand and authoritative voice imbued with thunder and the ferocity of flames slowly rose.
They had scoured the Demon Realm for a long time, almost turning it inside out, probing a hundred feet deep, yet had never been able to detect the Fox Lord’s presence.
“Shall we enter to eliminate the source of trouble?”
Thunder and fire intertwined, forming a black-and-white winged Divine Tiger, its fangs protruding like swords from its mouth, glinting coldly in the sunlight.
“Of course, that’s a given, but… exploring the secret realm is fraught with danger,” the Dragon Lord gazed at the idyllic valley where yellow flowers swayed, and a white rabbit nibbled peacefully, the scene appearing benign, yet it invoked a wary expression in the Dragon Lord’s eyes.
When Return to Void descends, a natural response arises between heaven and earth, causing flora to cease their growth and fauna to stay silent. How could there still be creatures leisurely grazing?
“The most pressing matter for us now is to prepare for the war with the human race in ten years,” remarked the Tiger Lord, looking into the valley with eyes full of caution.
It too sensed something amiss.
“Therefore, we only need to send our incarnations in. That would suffice. If the secret realm proves to be too dangerous, even if we lose them, it doesn’t matter much,” the Dragon Lord mused.
Incarnations?
The Tiger Lord showed a look of understanding and nodded.
The Dragon Lord’s idea was indeed good.
“However, the secret realm is its own universe, with different rules from the Demon Realm. If we enter, the incarnations’ power will be suppressed, able to exert only the strength of the Primordial Spirit realm…”
