Volume One, Chapter 33: Lu Xiaoyun’s Gift

"I love it, thank you, Yixiao." I feigned a look of being touched as I accepted the ring, then leaned in to plant a light peck on Shen Yixiao's cheek.

He finally let out a sigh of relief. "I was worried you wouldn't like it."

In this world, strength is everything. If you like something, remember: don't barter for it, don't talk to the owner about it—just walk up and give them a good beating. That is guaranteed to work.

"Palace Master Xiao, um, would it be possible for me to stay inside and accompany my mother?" Song Ruyan asked, full of anticipation.

According to Xu Mo's own estimation, one would need at least the strength of the second stage of the Immortal Path; otherwise, the strength of the first stage of the Mortal Path would be unable to cause any damage. Even if he were to unleash the first form of his true body, 'Qianyuan: Opening of Heaven and Earth,' he would still be unable to tear through this realm.

Many of the packages on the nearby shelves had been rummaged through, and several boxes were scattered on the floor. Near one shelf lay a few bottles of drinks, and the discarded wrappers of various food items littered the ground.

The three of them watched the Thunder-Light Beast collapse and let out a long sigh of relief. This guy was much harder to deal with than the average fourth-tier creature, but thankfully, it was finally over.

"It's alright... You should go. After all, I haven't fully recovered yet, but don't worry, I am doing just fine here and nothing will happen to me." Huo Linxue was very calm. Since the treatment had only been going on for a little over a month—nearly two—and her vision was gradually improving, she didn't want to delay his plans for personal matters.

Suddenly, the area outside the Ancient Underworld Battlefield became boisterous and noisy, as if the sky had transformed into a gathering for the younger generation to exchange pointers.

"The ancient zither possesses a spirit; everything depends on fate. You must feel it with your heart and see which zither is calling out to you," Han Feixue explained from the side.

While Zhou Biao's mind had yet to grasp the situation, Xu Zhangbao and Chen Jiulang had already caught the hidden meaning behind Guan Zehao's words.

"I never expected this place to be the headquarters of the Green Wolf Gang!" Ren Yixu sighed. In the past, he often came here—not to vent the heat in his body, but to vent his emotions.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to tell you all: I beat up Nian Yangxiao from the Wu Sect Association. That guy probably won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a month," Xu Fan said with a faint smile, his face devoid of the slightest concern.

The group left the territory of Xining City and headed west along the northern shore of Qinghai Lake in the game. As they traveled, the cities and players they encountered became fewer and fewer. All that could be seen were Gobi deserts, endless mountain ranges, and withered grasslands that stretched as far as the eye could see.

"I give up!" Li Xiao was speechless. Had he known the three Wu brothers possessed this kind of ability, he wouldn't have bothered attending the Green Vine Banquet at all.

Hearing this, everyone present could not help but glance at one another. From the sound of it, it seemed that both Qiao Feng and that Ye Feng were incredibly formidable, enough to make Shan Zheng and Zhao Qiansun so wary?

Luo Wuzi assisted Li Si in constructing the First Emperor of Qin's mausoleum and was bestowed the title of Tomb King, establishing the Tomb King City to oversee all royal mausoleums in the realm.

"You're saying he was the one who pushed you down the stairs?" Gao Lingyun glanced at his subordinate before asking Xu Zuoyan.

"What? Done making things up?" Leng Rong took a bite of the date in his mouth, chewing slowly, finding it exceptionally crisp and sweet.

Just like that, Xu Fan dodged the hidden arrows behind him while evading the slashes of the men in black. Relying on his powerful reflexes and intuition, he managed to leave the men in black utterly helpless for a time.

Since the launch of the Chinese server, the game's overall style had been rooted in martial arts, with PK skills and effects that were either dashing and handsome or graceful and filled with ancient charm. Now, the sudden appearance of a massive, technologically advanced monstrosity like the Dragon Gate Iron Ship left nearly ten thousand Northern Frontier players stunned, caught in a state of indecision.
