Chapter 235

Ah, what a pity.

Sitting on Xiaoqing's back, Qin Chuan let out a sigh that drew a sideways glance from the girl beside him.

"What's up?" Yue Li looked at Qin Chuan with a smile, "You've been spacing out just now, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing, I used the third talent of the sundial to check on Aolierjia's situation." Qin Chuan scratched his head, "I saw her sitting and chatting with another woman."

If nothing unexpected, that woman is probably Zefina.

Basically, we can confirm Aolierjia is also on the Silver Dagger.

"Really? What were they talking about?" Yue Li couldn't help but become curious.

"This is why I sighed." Qin Chuan spread his hands, "Although the sundial's third talent can real-time monitor the locked target's situation, it's limited to the image."

He couldn't read lips, let alone English lip-reading.

Seeing the two talking but unable to hear their content, this feeling really arouses curiosity.

So Qin Chuan watched for a while, then gave up.

"I see." Yue Li suddenly understood, then smiled, "No problem, knowing Aolierjia is on the Silver Dagger, we just need to be more cautious."

I think she doesn't have the guts to target us again.

"That's true." Qin Chuan nodded in agreement.

If Aolierjia dares to come, he would admire her as a tough woman.

"By the way, I have something to tell you." Qin Chuan looked at Yue Li beside him, suddenly thinking of Hong Ye, he slowly said, "In reality, I saw Hong Ye."

"Huh?" Yue Li quickly turned her head toward Qin Chuan, her expression showing more surprise.

At the moment she saw Hong Ye, Yue Li realized that Luo, who was also at Yan Da, might encounter Hong Ye, and Hong Ye's image was the same as in the Dream World; Luo could recognize her at a glance.

But she still didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

"You met her on the first day of registration?" "Where did you see her?" Yue Li's heart trembled slightly, but her tone gave nothing away as she curiously asked.

"At Yan Da." Qin Chuan assumed Yue Li was at Guangdong University, and without thinking he began, "I wasn't just registering for school today, after registration my roommate dragged me to a gathering, and also present was a female dormitory from the Supernatural Theory Department, said to be a mixer."

"Of course, I went there because I heard that barbecue place was really good." Qin Chuan added deliberately.

"And then?" Yue Li's voice trembled slightly, though she still smiled, a huge surge rose in her heart.

"Then Hongye just happened to be in that mixer's dormitory." Qin Chuan spread his hands, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence."

"But I recognized her, she didn't recognize me."

"Yeah, it's quite a coincidence." Yue Li murmured softly, a smile appearing in her eyes.

She suddenly recalled that Song Yuxin had mentioned that in the other dormitory, a guy named Qin Chuan would often glance at Hongye while eating, as if he were interested in her.

She had originally thought so as well.

Now it seems…

Yue Li couldn't help but glance at Qin Chuan.

This guy, he doesn't even try to hide it!

"Are you planning to tell Hongye your identity?" Yue Li seemed to think of something amusing, the smile at the corners of her lips deepening.

"I'm still considering it; I wanted to hear your advice." Qin Chuan rubbed his chin.

"I think we can tell her." Yue Li spoke softly, "Hongye is a guild member I selected; I somewhat understand her personality, so relatively she can be trusted."

"The dungeons you clear are mainly A-rank; with Hongye's talent helping, it becomes much easier." She spoke softly. "And you?" Qin Chuan suddenly grabbed the girl's hand, staring straight into her slightly evasive eyes, "When can you clear dungeons with me?"

Yue Li's pupils flickered slightly, carrying a hint of moisture; because the boy's unexpectedly blunt manner made her heart feel as if clutched by something, her soft, tender voice also gained a trace of pleading she herself hadn't noticed.

"Luo, wait a bit longer for me, okay?"

"Sorry." Qin Chuan lowered his eyes slightly; seeing Yue Li like this was the first time for him, his heart jolted, and he vaguely realized that Yue Li's unwillingness to meet him in reality must involve some circumstances he doesn't know about.

He was about to loosen his grip on Yue Li's hand, which he had grabbed rather rashly, but Yue Li clenched her hold.

"Soon." Yue Li flashed a bright smile, "I promise."

She will bring two pieces of versatile intermediate resources back to reality and hand them to Du Yu.

Once Du Yu advances to elite rank, her recovery speed will definitely increase significantly.

In half a month, or even less, she will be able to stand again, standing beside the boy.

"Tomorrow, I'll find a chance to tell Hongye my identity." This time it was Qin Chuan's turn to avoid the girl's scorching gaze, "Then let's try seeing the effect of bringing her to clear A-rank dungeons."

"Hongye's strength is still too weak." Yue Li thought a moment, then spoke softly, "To keep up, at this stage she needs to focus on raising her Player Level in the Dream World."

"As for dungeon rewards, you don't need to give her too much; using resources obtained from conquering secret realms in the Dream World as a reward for her assistance in clearing dungeons works better."

"I'll help you tell her about that."

"Good." Qin Chuan assumed Yue Li was communicating with Hongye in the Dream World, and nodded.

Using Dream World resources obtained from secret realms as a reward for Hongye's assistance in clearing dungeons was something Qin Chuan hadn't considered; without a doubt, this perfectly solved the profit-sharing problem of bringing Hongye to clear dungeons, eliminating any qualms about teaming up.

If Hongye could really let him clear A-rank dungeons without consuming Time Stop time…

That would be absolutely perfect.

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the first A-rank 1-star secret realm they needed to conquer today.

Gazing at the enormous spacetime rift in the void, the two swiftly flew into it. —

As Qin Chuan and the others were teleported out of the secret realm, the spacetime rift behind them gradually sealed in a low hum, eventually vanishing.

The second A-rank 1-star secret realm for today has been cleared.

"It's about to start."

Qin Chuan nodded at Yue Li beside him, his face showing an expectant expression.

Likewise expectant was Shui Hua, who had come up to Qin Chuan's side and kept wagging its tail.

The other five Spirit Beasts exchanged glances, feeling envy as well as intense anticipation.

No one knows how strong breaking through to the Epic stage will be.

When will they be able to break through? Yue Li pressed her palms together, and with a smile she bestowed upon Qin Chuan a fortunate blessing.

Six paths of silver light flickered in Qin Chuan's hand, transforming into six resources with distinctly different appearances.

They share the same water attribute, and also the same powerful energy fluctuation.

These are the six epic-grade resources that need to be embedded in Shui Hua's advancement formation.

As Qin Chuan completed the embedding, the entire advancement formation lit up; after the Ling Shui wristguard was embedded into the evolution formation, the two formations overlapped and instantly activated.

In the steadily rising energy, Shui Hua's form underwent a subtle change.

Epic stage, breakthrough!
