A Walk

...

"Bai Ling, stop obsessing over Ye Yue's matter. She is one of us, not an evil creature."

At night, when Bai Qianshuang returned from the Tianxuan Continent and learned of the incident, she reprimanded Bai Ling.

Bai Qianshuang had never expected that her own sword spirit would secretly stalk Ye Yue.

And even try to attack her.

Trying to attack was one thing, but she couldn't even win and was dragged back by the scruff of her neck.

Embarrassing.

No, embarrassing for a sword.

This was probably the most humiliating artifact spirit ever. In the words Ye Chuan often used, she simply had zero self-awareness.

As Bai Ling's master, seeing that Bai Ling had done wrong, she took the initiative to find Ye Yue and apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't explain things clearly." Bai Qianshuang pulled Bai Ling along as the two of them apologized to Ye Yue together.

"Big sister Bai Ling might just be a bit sensitive about these things, but it was all for everyone's sake."

Ye Yue shook her head, showing that she didn't take the matter to heart. Perhaps because Bai Ling was an artifact spirit, her perception of such things was a bit stronger.

"It's fine." Seeing Bai Qianshuang apologize to her, Ye Yue smiled radiantly.

But it was impossible for her to have no feelings about it in her heart. However, since this was a woman her brother liked, Ye Yue certainly wouldn't voice any objections.

To Ye Yue, her brother's feelings were greater than anything other people did.

She didn't care how others viewed her; the most important thing was how her brother viewed her.

"Apologize, Bai Ling," Bai Qianshuang glanced at Bai Ling beside her.

Bai Ling had no choice but to bow and apologize. "I'm sorry, Miss Ye. I was thoughtless and had preconceived notions. I thought—"

Bai Ling also hadn't expected to be so utterly defenseless in front of Ye Yue. But thinking about those densely packed eyes on the other party's body...

Was that really normal?

Forget it.

Bai Ling didn't plan to dwell on it anymore. Since everyone said it was normal, then it was normal.

Since things had come to this, it was better to just eat first.

...

During this time after reviving, Ye Chuan was also frantically grinding to boost his combat power, constantly refreshing his physique, spirit roots, and skills, all to get a skill related to the Hero.

After all this tossing and turning, although his minor realm had broken through to the great perfection of the Dao Comprehension Realm, he still had no way to deal with that Demon King.

"Breaking through realms doesn't seem to help. Even if I reach the eighth tier, I actually still can't break that woman's defense."

"Hiss, doesn't that mean I'll still be chased and hacked by the Demon King in the future?" Ye Chuan looked at his backpack full of items, yet no red-quality props had appeared.

"This kind of constant damage immunity is just too broken. Even I don't have it."

While lamenting, Ye Chuan went to browse the point shop, hoping to find something to deal with the Demon King.

"Tianxuan... Magic... Hmm... Nothing... Just some little trash..." After looking through a round, Ye Chuan's eyes landed on the eerie category.

After clicking into it, there indeed wasn't anything special inside, but there was an item he found familiar.

[Key of the Eerie]

"So Little Ke can refresh the Key of the Eerie even without breaking through her realm?" Seeing it, Ye Chuan silently bought it right away.

A one-time eerie world, and it was cheap too.

Buy!

The Key of the Eerie could get him a lot of good stuff, including his cognitive pollution, which he got at the Aphasia Academy.

If that was the case...

Ye Chuan clicked open the adventure worlds and sure enough, noticed that a one-time adventure world had been unlocked.

[Eerie World - Country of Seasonal Rain]

[Note: This adventure world is dangerous and contains special powers. Your power will be restricted upon entering.]

Hmm...

This name didn't sound as dangerous as the Death Train or something similar.

Moreover, since he possessed the Chaos Indestructible Body, he should be considered the strictest father figure to this kind of eerie world.

"I'll go in and take a look over the next couple of days."

Just as Ye Chuan was fiddling with his phone, the door was opened. "Chuan Chuan, are you busy?"

Luo Xi appeared at the doorway. Seeing Ye Chuan sitting on the edge of the bed looking down and fiddling with something, she smiled. "Chuan Chuan, do you want to go out for a walk with me to relax?"

"Go out for a walk?"

Although Ye Chuan was still messing with his items, after hearing Luo Xi say that, he stood up. "Let's go, we'll go for a stroll."

"Just the two of us?"

"Yes, just the two of us," Luo Xi nodded.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but Ye Chuan found that the feeling Luo Xi gave off had changed—her eyes seemed to carry a somewhat different emotion.

But Ye Chuan couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.

"What's wrong?" Luo Xi noticed Ye Chuan's gaze lingering on her face, so she pointed a finger at herself,

"Is there something on my face?"

"No, I just feel like you've become even cuter lately," Ye Chuan said with a smile.

"Is that so? Let's go." Luo Xi reached out and hugged Ye Chuan's arm.

Ye Chuan: "..."

"Yeah."

Walking out of the room with Luo Xi, the two strolled along the small road in the urban village. Along the way, Ye Chuan could feel Luo Xi's brisk footsteps; she was clearly in a good mood.

"Did something good happen?" Ye Chuan asked.

"Taking a walk with Chuan Chuan is a good thing happening," Luo Xi said.

"Alright."

Seeing Luo Xi hugging him and feeling the occasional squeeze of the slimes, Ye Chuan suddenly asked, "Are we playing games together tonight?"

"Hmm?" Hearing this, Luo Xi just nodded gently. "Okay."

"But..."

"But?"

"Don't call Qianshuang and Little Ke. I just want it to be me," Luo Xi said.

Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment because they usually played together. For Luo Xi to say this was quite rare, but of course, Ye Chuan wouldn't refuse her request.

"Okay, if you don't want to, then just the two of us will play."

"Mhm!"

Walking along the sides of the road, Luo Xi looked at those dilapidated houses and suddenly said,

"By the way, Chuan Chuan, do you think we will leave here in the future?"

"Leave here?"

"Yes."

"If you don't want to, we can live here forever." Although Ye Chuan's current money was completely enough to buy a scenic island for everyone to live on, there was obviously no need to do so.

"Chuan Chuan, sometimes it's not a question of whether you want to or not," Luo Xi shook her head.

Ye Chuan smiled. "If I don't want to, who can make me move away?"

Luo Xi pretended to ponder for a while, then held up a finger. "Well, for example, a rift appears here, and then monsters run out and level our home."

"That's impossible. I set up a barrier, and there's a spider-dog watching the yard," Ye Chuan shook his head.

Currently, the monsters from the rifts were still very weak. Let alone shaking the barrier, they couldn't even get past the spider-dog in their yard.
