CHAPTER 123: CHAPTER 118: A LAND OF TENDERNESS (THREE UPDATES, PLEASE SUPPORT)
Although the Cloud Burst Shock Bomb is a powerful weapon, if Wei Yue wants to buy it, there are still legitimate channels.
Getting those six Cloud Burst Shock Bombs from the Law Enforcement Department is much more troublesome.
Wei Yue was a bit headache, if Blood Shadow went through so much trouble to set an ambush, something big is definitely going to happen.
Wei Ming couldn’t figure it out either: "What exactly does he want to do? Who does he want to kill now?"
Wei Yue slightly shook his head: "We don’t need to know, we just need to get the job done."
At this point, they no longer had the right to refuse Blood Shadow’s request. Nor could they control Blood Shadow.
No matter what Blood Shadow wanted to do, they could only cooperate.
In the high-level guest room of Yuanlong Mansion, Yan Qingge sat cross-legged on a bamboo mat, with the Cyan Frost Sword resting on her knees.
Breathing Source Power to nurture the spirit, nurturing the sword with the spirit, and using the sword to command power. This is the daily essential practice for every swordsman.
Ever since she received guidance from Blood Shadow once, Yan Qingge found the essence of the Flying Swallow Sword, and her swordsmanship greatly improved.
However, she seemed to have reached the end and could not see any more room for improvement.
Yan Qingge also knew that the Flying Swallow Sword had many legacies in the Alliance. Her family did not have the real secret of swordsmanship.
But these secrets were all in the hands of top noble families, their most important resources. No matter how much money was offered, they could not buy the high-tier secret technique of the Flying Swallow Sword.
Yan Qingge practiced the family sword formulas to perfection, feeling there was no way forward.
To break through, she could only hope for genetic sequence evolution through mutation. However, genetic sequence evolution through mutation is extremely dangerous. If it fails, even if she does not die, she would become a cripple.
The safest way is for the Flying Swallow Sword formulas to break through first, using secret techniques to guide genetic sequence evolution. This would greatly increase the chances of success, almost ensuring no failure.
The appearance of Blood Shadow made Yan Qingge see an opportunity. This was her chance to advance to the Silver Level, so Yan Qingge put aside all worries and spoke frankly to Wei Yue.
Yan Qingge was a bit anxious now, unsure if Wei Yue would convey her message, or what Blood Shadow’s attitude would be.
Towards Blood Shadow, Yan Qingge held great awe in her heart. She couldn’t forget how casually Blood Shadow killed Qu Xing with one sword stroke.
A dignified Puppet Master did not even manage to make any resistance.
Yan Qingge often wondered, if she were to face Blood Shadow, what would she do?
She felt that even if she had a secret weapon, under Blood Shadow’s sword, she would not last more than three moves.
The gap in strength between them was a bit too large.
Yan Qingge even suspected that Blood Shadow was a Silver Level Sword Hero, hence possessing such an unbeatable might.
The analysis results from the Light Computer also leaned toward Blood Shadow coming from the Outer Star Realm. Such a top swordsman could not possibly emerge from nowhere. Only in this way could the mystery of Blood Shadow’s identity be explained.
After all, the Outer Star Realm is vast and boundless, who knows how many experts are hidden there.
Thoughts churned in Yan Qingge’s mind, leaving her without the heart to nurture her sword and spirit.
She tried hard to collect her thoughts and was about to enter meditation when she received a message.
"If you want the high-tier secret technique of the Flying Swallow Sword, exchange it for the Dimensional Silver Mirror."
The message came from the dark web and had no name, but Yan Qingge was convinced it must be from Blood Shadow.
Only Blood Shadow knew what she wanted.
Yan Qingge let out a long sigh of relief, Wei Yue was really efficient and indeed contacted Blood Shadow.
What is the Dimensional Silver Mirror?
Yan Qingge did not know, but she guessed it should be a marvel. She immediately logged onto the dark web to inquire about the Dimensional Silver Mirror.
Such marvel information could only be queried through the dark web.
The Dimensional Silver Mirror was a somewhat famous marvel, capable of duplicating space, creating a real closed mirror space for a short time.
It’s a very interesting marvel, which can be used repeatedly. However, this marvel is of little practical use.
However, the Dimensional Silver Mirror ultimately involves space duplication. Though this ability seemed impractical, the level was very high.
The last time the Dimensional Silver Mirror appeared, it was sold for eighty billion.
Such a vast amount made Yan Qingge take a cold breath.
She came from a top noble family and understood what eighty billion in cash meant.
Just like the Yan Family’s investment in the Yuanlong Group, claimed to be two hundred billion. In actuality, the first cash investment was only ten billion.
The rest was various resources converted into cash, including stocks, land, factories, sales channels, etc...
Yan Qingge felt a headache over such a large sum of money.
Although she was from the Yan Family’s direct lineage, she did not have the resources to gather such an amount of money.
There’s also the problem, even if she persuades her family to buy the Dimensional Silver Mirror, what if Blood Shadow takes it and doesn’t acknowledge it?
However, Blood Shadow ultimately pointed her in a direction.
If she truly obtains the high-tier secret technique of the Flying Swallow Sword, it would be of significant importance to the entire family. It’s worth trying.
Yan Qingge sighed deeply and contacted her elder brother Yan Qingfeng.
Gao Xuan had no idea about Yan Qingge’s inner activities, nor did he care about this beautiful swordsman.
The Yan Family’s channels are much stronger than Wei Yue’s, and wealthier too. They have a better chance of obtaining the Dimensional Silver Mirror. Of course, it doesn’t matter if they don’t get it.
He is in the dark, while Luojia is in the open. He has prepared so much. No matter what, he must ambush Luojia in Mingjing City. If he still can’t take down Luojia, then he must accept it as fate.
Gao Xuan follows Bai Yutang every day now, mainly to observe Luojia’s movements.
With such close proximity, none of Bai Yutang’s electronic dealings can escape the Six-winged Celestial Cicada. This allows him to grasp all the movements of the Blood God Association in Mingjing City.
On the other hand, Bai Yutang is indeed a beauty, gentle and charming, understanding and full of allure.
Being with Bai Yutang is pleasant and enjoyable.
Because the days were so happy, Gao Xuan was even too lazy to log into the live broadcast. He only logged in sometimes to earn points when he felt like it.
In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August, and Gao Xuan had to prepare for the start of the university.
Bai Yutang had already planned ahead; she took Gao Xuan to Mingjing University and bought a house for him.
There are also many high-end residential buildings within the campus of Mingjing University, mainly prepared for faculty and wealthy people.
Bai Yutang bought a large flat, which is on the top floor, more than four hundred square meters. The top floor is filled with green plants, and there is a sizeable fish pond too.
"This house is in your name."
Bai Yutang said, "During your university years, you and Qingshang can live here. The dormitory is too small, and there are too many idlers, which is very inconvenient."
"How much did it cost?" Gao Xuan asked curiously.
"More than twenty million." Bai Yutang didn’t hide the truth.
"Sister Tang, you want to keep me, huh."
Gao Xuan said earnestly, "This won’t do, it doesn’t align with my principles."
"Do we still need to be so clear about it?"
Bai Yutang said seriously, "What is mine is yours!"
Gao Xuan sighed deeply, "Sister Tang, why are you so good to me?"
Bai Yutang said softly, "You don’t need to feel pressured; I do this because I like it, and it has nothing to do with you."
"Sister Tang treats me so well, I don’t even know how to repay you."
Bai Yutang shook her head slightly, "You are destined to be an extraordinary genius; why bother with these trivial matters?"
She let Gao Xuan sit on the rattan chair, "I have a gift for you."
Gao Xuan sat on the rattan chair, and in front was a blue lake, beside the lake was a Sword Dojo.
The setting sun shone from the west, just illuminating Gao Xuan’s profile.
The rosy glow was brilliantly beautiful, yet Gao Xuan sitting quietly under the sunset appeared more splendid than the glow.
Bai Yutang sighed in her heart, her dim and gloomy life was brought light, joy, and hope because of this beautiful young man.
Compared to this, the many costs she had paid were insignificant.
Bai Yutang took out a clay ocarina and stood by Gao Xuan, softly playing the Original Scenery of Hometown.
The ocarina’s tone was thick and ancient, yet ethereal and distant. Playing "Original Scenery of Hometown" on the ocarina, the unique tone could fully express the yearning and nostalgia embedded in the melody.
Although Bai Yutang’s technique was mediocre, her breath was steady and long, and she was emotionally invested while playing.
The melodious music carried a trace of sadness and longing, nostalgia and attachment. The pure, celestial ocarina sound had a magical power that reached straight into the heart.
Gao Xuan listened quietly, his thoughts involuntarily drifting along with the ocarina’s sound, not knowing where they scattered to.
The piece ended, but the lingering sound flowed and lingered in the air, not dispersing for a long time.
Gao Xuan sighed in near satisfaction, "Sister Tang, you not only want my person, but also my heart."
Gao Xuan didn’t expect Bai Yutang to be so attentive. Bai Yutang gave gifts and a house, which Gao Xuan actually didn’t care much about.
But Bai Yutang specifically practiced the ocarina for him, this sentiment truly moved him: could this woman really fall in love with him?
Bai Yutang asked nervously, "How did I play?"
"Very emotional, made up for the technical shortcomings."
Bai Yutang lightly knocked Gao Xuan, "It doesn’t sound like a compliment."
"I sincerely praise."
Gao Xuan felt aggrieved, "Clearly you overthought it..."
Bai Yutang hugged Gao Xuan’s neck, her clear eyes full of charm, she whispered a threat, "Say more, I’ll bite you to death tonight."
The soft and tender voice seemed to seep directly into one’s bones, making the bones and flesh tingle together.
Gao Xuan sighed inwardly: No wonder the ancient saying goes that the gentle village is a hero’s grave.
A beautiful confidante, as gentle as water. How many men in the world can resist?
This thought flashed in Gao Xuan’s mind, but it did not influence his decision, nor did it change his beliefs.
Gao Xuan contacted Yun Qingshang through the Six-winged Celestial Cicada, "You can act now."
