Chapter 129: Entering Realm No. 79

"You know my mother? You aren't lying to me, are you?" Xie Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, her gaze filled with shock.

Ye Lin: "..."

"I was just spouting nonsense. Let's go, let's enter the realm."

The corner of Ye Lin's mouth twitched slightly.

To be this naive and still live safely to this age, Xie Xiaoxiao's background must be absolutely staggering.

A child raised in an ordinary family could never maintain such naive thoughts and enthusiasm for this world.

Ye Lin, who grew up in the slums, knew this point particularly well.

He was fortunate that he had only entertained the thought of killing and looting without actually acting on it; if this woman were related to that big shot in Qingcheng, there might be someone protecting her in the shadows.

Moreover, even if he had succeeded in killing and looting, what he would have faced next would be an overwhelming, storm-like pursuit.

"Phew! I knew it. If you knew my mother, I'd be done for. If she found out I ran away from home, she'd definitely nag me to death," Xie Xiaoxiao sighed in relief, muttering to herself.

"So you snuck out?" Ye Lin asked.

"Yes! I'm amazing, right?" Xie Xiaoxiao proudly lifted her little head, looking like she was waiting for praise.

"... Amazing." Ye Lin couldn't quite understand the thought process of these wealthy young ladies.

"By the way, what's your name? What level are you? I can feel that you seem quite strong!" Xie Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Lin curiously.

"My name is Ye Mushuang, and I'm almost level 60. What about you?"

Ye Lin asked in return. At his current level, the skills he cast were enhanced into Forbidden Spells, making their power comparable to those released by level 50 or 60 professionals. If he said his level was too low, it would easily arouse suspicion.

"Almost level 60? You're so amazing!" Xie Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. "No wonder Dad always tells me that there is always someone better than you! Judging by your age, you should only be twenty-five or twenty-six, right?"

"To be nearly level 60 at twenty-five or twenty-six, you can be considered a genius across the entire Da Xia!"

Ye Lin smiled and didn't say much. Now that he was wearing the Illusion Mask, he did indeed look twenty-five or twenty-six.

"However, compared to me, you're still a little bit behind. I'm 17, but I'm already level 37. When I reach your age, I will definitely surpass you," Xie Xiaoxiao said proudly.

"17? Level 37? Then wouldn't you have become the top scorer in the college entrance exam long ago?" Ye Lin was somewhat surprised.

"I've never taken the college entrance exam. None of my friends have taken it either. My dad said that for me, the college entrance exam is a waste of time," Xie Xiaoxiao said truthfully.

Ye Lin fell silent for a moment. That was true; after all, the national top scorer was only rewarded with one legendary-grade piece of equipment.

For someone with a powerful background, the view that participating in the college entrance exam trials was a waste of time was perfectly valid.

While they were talking, they had both entered Realm No. 79.

What met their eyes was a vast, boundless black land, as if it were an ancient battlefield that had been abandoned.

On the ground, there was dark red soil everywhere, as if it had formed after fresh blood had dried.

In the sky, there were only two or three stars, flickering with eerie light, like eyeballs hanging overhead, observing everyone who entered the realm.

Looking into the distance, one could vaguely see some towering mountain ranges. Their shapes were varied; some were like winding giant dragons, others like prowling fierce tigers. Those mountain peaks seemed to have lives of their own.

From time to time, the roars of demonic creatures would echo from the depths of the mountain ranges.

Ye Lin stood at the entrance of the realm, feeling the aura around him, his brows slightly furrowed. The entire realm was filled with an oppressive and dangerous atmosphere.

"It seems my guess was correct. There must be real Demon Clan members in this realm! This stench is very familiar!"

As soon as Xie Xiaoxiao entered the realm, she couldn't help but cover her nose.

"Do you deal with the Demon Clan often?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

"Yes, but every time I've seen the Demon Clan before, it was with my elders. This is my first time facing the Demon Clan alone!" Xie Xiaoxiao's large eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Am I not one? Am I even human?"

Ye Lin pointed at himself and asked.

"You are human, of course, but you're different from my elders. You're my teammate, and you won't risk your life to protect me," Xie Xiaoxiao said very clearly.

"How do you know I won't?" Ye Lin smiled faintly.

"What did you say?" Xie Xiaoxiao widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous.

"Nothing."

Ye Lin looked away. Xie Xiaoxiao was an excellent way for him to learn about that big shot behind the scenes. If he could gain her trust, he should be able to obtain a lot of useful information.

After all, he and that big shot behind the scenes would inevitably clash sooner or later.

It was just that gaining trust couldn't be rushed; haste makes waste.

The two continued to venture deeper into Realm No. 79. During this time, they also saw many professionals fighting against demonic creatures.

The demonic creatures in Realm No. 79 were quite strong, and there were even several high-level demonic creatures comparable to Hellhounds.

More professionals were searching everywhere for the brilliant scepter they had seen outside the realm. Seeing is believing; they firmly believed that there must be such a treasure in Realm No. 79!

As Ye Lin and Xie Xiaoxiao walked, they also encountered many disturbances from demonic creatures, but Ye Lin solved them one by one.

"Ice Blade Art!"

Ye Lin casually froze an attacking demonic creature into an ice sculpture, then stored the corpse into his Great Sumeru Ring.

"Why do you keep collecting the corpses of demonic creatures?" Xie Xiaoxiao, who was on the side, asked curiously.

Along the way, whether it was demonic creatures killed by others or those Ye Lin killed himself, Ye Lin would store the corpses in his storage ring. This left Xie Xiaoxiao extremely puzzled—what could one do with the corpses of demonic creatures?

"I'm an orphan. The corpses of demonic creatures are worth quite a bit of money," Ye Lin casually found a somewhat plausible reason.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to ask that," Xie Xiaoxiao said, feeling somewhat ashamed.

"It's fine. But from just now, you've been intentionally or unintentionally leading me in one direction. Can you sense where the Demon Clan in this realm is?" Ye Lin asked.

"Yes! But... I can't explain the principle to you. This is my secret," Xie Xiaoxiao said seriously.

"It's fine," Ye Lin shrugged indifferently.

"Don't worry! After we hunt the Demon Clan later, you can have all the corpses. I don't want any. The corpses of the Demon Clan are much more valuable than those of demonic creatures. But can you promise me one thing?" Xie Xiaoxiao asked.

"What is it?" Ye Lin asked.

Xie Xiaoxiao took a pink mobile phone out of her pocket and said somewhat embarrassedly.

"When I deal with the Demon Clan later, can you record a video for me? I want to prove to my family! I'm not the child who needs their protection anymore; I already have the strength to hunt the Demon Clan alone!" ===== CHAPTER 130 =====
