"Come with me," the white-hooded woman's voice sounded hoarse, yet full of authority. She lowered her sword that glinted in the morning sun, making Eadric Rong's eyes widen in fear.

With graceful and confident movements, she twisted her body, leaving Eadric Rong transfixed by the action.

"Y-you're not going to kill me?" asked Eadric Rong in a trembling voice.

The figure paused for a moment, but did not turn around. Her cold, stern voice could be heard replying, "What should I kill you for? Do I seem like the executioner of death to you?"

Although he couldn't see the hooded figure's face directly, Eadric Rong felt as if she was smiling.

However, the woman's voice sounded hoarse, as if she had some sort of prop in her mouth, making her voice sound creepy.

Not long after, she spoke again. This time, she didn't wait for Eadric Rong's reaction, directly slipping into the bushes that led into the depths of the Willow Forest.

  • The Ouyang Family Connection

    When Eadric Rong was feeling anxious, suddenly Young Master Ouyang spoke softly to him."Brother Ren Jie, why do you bother to rob me? Aren't you my sister's husband? If you really need it, just tell me how many Energy Stones you want. The Ouyang family's treasurer will immediately issue the funds for your needs," Young Master Ouyang said in a friendly tone.The servant named Xu Yu also added,"Yes, Young Master Ren. You don't have to bother extorting our Young Master. Your wife also gets a salary from the Ouyang family. Why do you have to rob your own sister-in-law?" Xu Yu suggested respectfully.On Eadric Rong's side, there was a change in his expression as he pondered the situation that had just unfolded."What? I am the husband of this stupid young master? Does that mean I should also have access to the riches of this world? Alright then…" Eadric Rong whispered, a cheerful smile spreading across his face.He tried to put on an arrogant expression, trying to show the figure of a ri

  • Desperate Measures

    This Yin Zhi Dalu was indeed tough. "No small talk; everyone seems rude and cruel!" he thought, touching his reddened cheeks.Feeling embarrassed and confused, Eadric Rong immediately used his Qinggong skills to disappear from the woman's sight, further scaring the woman. He quickly walked away from the street in front of the Twin Dice Auction Hall.After being in a quiet place, Eadric Rong tried to calm his mind, thinking about the next strategy he should take."So, it is clear that the means of payment here is the Energy Stone. Now, I have a new task: to find the energy stone that is the means of payment in this strange world."Throughout the morning, Eadric Rong wandered through the bustling market, knocking on the doors of stalls and shops run by merchants. Every time a door opened, he would offer a hundred gold coins, each weighing two liang, accompanied by the same question."I want to exchange this gold for Energy Stone. Please, any exchange rate. I am willing!"However, instea

  • The Beggar's Treasure

    Fire Angel Temple – Yin Zhi Dalu.When early morning came, before the morning sun showed its rays on the eastern horizon, the atmosphere in the dilapidated and worn out temple of the Angel of Fire felt cold and quiet.Eadric Rong hid in that place, far from the observation range of the Five Heroes of Yousha Palace, making the possibility of being detected here very small.In the middle of the empty temple, a burning bonfire radiates light, indicating that other living beings are present there. Around it, several groups of beggars and panhandlers gather in simplicity, sharing stories and warmth despite their poverty."Did you know? At the auction that will be held tomorrow, the Twin Dice Auction House will be selling one of the rarest artifacts, the Eternal Star Necklace!" the voice of the beggar named Shan suddenly resounded, full of excitement as he delivered the news to his friend."The Eternal Star Necklace?" Gu, a fellow beggar, glanced at it skeptically. "What's so special about

  • Escape from Yousha Palace.

    "Great Qinggong.." a voice praised unconsciously.As a result... the sharp spearhead struck the void below, but the effect of the attack still produced a resounding explosion, causing a loud sound.BOOM! The song sounded as if the sky itself was spewing thunder."He managed to escape! His Qinggong skills are extremely tricky to counter. Zhao Henwu, quickly kill him with your sword!" shouted the armored figure, who had just witnessed his spear strike fail to hit its target.The figure looked up into the sky, seeing Eadric Rong floating high in the air, looking like a dangerous bat figure.Eadric Rong's white robes spread out like wings, while his sharp eyes stared at the spear masters with an expression full of scorn, as if challenging them to try again."Look! A sword!"Suddenly, the echo of sword cries rang out, coming from two different directions. Eadric Rong stared wide-eyed as he saw two figures of experts wearing heavy armor, each swinging their weapons with great dexterity.One

  • Infiltrating Yousha Palace

    Yin Zhi Dalu, in Yousha Imperial Palace.The moon hung beautifully on the night horizon, perfectly round, surrounded by a dazzling halo. Up there, the sky looked smooth and spotless, not a single cloud dared to disturb the beauty of the night.True to its name, the Yousha Empire was indeed famous throughout Yin Zhi Dalu, not for its peace or prosperity.Almost everyone in this empire carries a wicked nature, greedy nature, and high selfishness. This is reflected in the tense situation and tense atmosphere throughout the Yousha empire, where intrigue and betrayal hide behind smiles.At this time, the time has shown the xhou shi period, which is marked by the second sound of the gong that has just sounded, announcing the change of night.Suddenly, the silence of the night was broken by a resounding booming sound, shaking the silence of the Imperial Palace.BAM!A cloud of white smoke billowed into the air after the loud noise. For a moment, the smell of sulfur filled the air, and when t

  • The Imperial Vault

    Suddenly, Princess Jue Yin Xin looked up and stared at Eadric Rong, immediately frowning. A dissatisfied expression filled her beautiful face. Quickly, she covered her nose with her hand and said in a mocking tone,"Why don't you give him a bath and tidy up his hair? He looks shabby, and he doesn't deserve to infiltrate Yousha Palace in Yin Zhi Dalu!"An officer from the ranks of soldiers was seen coming forward, respectfully bowing his head, then giving a report in a firm voice full of responsibility."Please, Princess. There is no time for the maids to bathe him. Just now, he was studying the map of Yin Zhi Dalu and the ins and outs of the Yousha Imperial Palace."After the guard leader finished his explanation, Princess Jue Yin Xin nodded, then looked at Eadric Rong who was approaching with a firm gaze."Zhan Fengxie, the great warrior of the Hei Tian Empire. Are you ready to travel through space and time?" she asked, her voice full of emphasis.Eadric Rong, with a straight face an
