the further up they climbed, the slower they went, and to accommodate those who were running out of energy, the group of twelve had to stop frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hang in there a bit longer, everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>See that over there?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s the Dragon Gate Walkway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once we cross it, we’ll reach the Qibing Peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Heng pointed to the mountain path outside the mists, trying to boost morale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the altitude they were now, they had surpassed two thousand meters above sea level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vaguely visible Dragon Gate Walkway looked like a winding golden python, encircling the entirety of Qibing Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treacherous path appeared almost as daunting as the widely known Huashan Plank Walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing drew in a sharp breath; her legs were already getting wobbly before even reaching it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu Rui, what do we do…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m a bit scared…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clutched at Li Shuru’s arm nervously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truth be told, Li Shuru wasn’t much better than her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was prettier, at the end of the day, the belle of the art academy was still a girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a harrowing sight and the thought of having to cross over it, her heart couldn’t help but race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be nervous, it just looks scarier than it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just pretend you’re shopping in a mall.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a familiar voice came from behind, startling Zheng Jingjing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You guys are pretty fast.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen arrived, smiling as if nothing was amiss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprisingly, Li Shuru didn’t show any signs of annoyance at Jiang Chen’s persistent presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps her focus was diverted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Jiang Chen appear, her racing heart gradually calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It would be a regret not to climb to the highest peak when we’ve come this far,” Jiang Chen told her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru didn’t utter a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He must have conspired with the club president, deliberately deceiving us,” Hu Heng said, unsurprised by Jiang Chen’s arrival, urging everyone to keep moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zheng Jingjing couldn’t help but realize she’d been duped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But by the time she realized it, it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were already here; they couldn’t just turn around and go back down the mountain, could they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Jiang Chen seemed to realize he wasn’t exactly welcome and didn’t cling to the two women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked alone at the tail of the group, keeping his distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing over at him occasionally, Zheng Jingjing inexplicably felt a bit sorry for the guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just bravely pursuing the happiness he wanted, what was wrong with that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jiang Chen, come here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing gestured for him to come over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen pointed to himself, and after she nodded, he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you carry our bags, please?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen looked a bit surprised, but he quickly nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing took off her own shoulder bag and, at the same time, removed Li Shuru’s as well, handing both over to Jiang Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps truly exhausted by now, Li Shuru didn’t refuse either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the free labor, Jiang Chen managed to close the gap between him and the two women, following right behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About half an hour later, the group finally arrived at the harrowing Dragon’s Gate Plank Walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing there, a poem involuntarily came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the flight of the yellow crane could scarcely cross; the monkeys and gibbons despair at the climb!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walkway was made of wooden planks, with a three-centimeter gap between each, allowing one to fully experience the sensation of walking in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One side was a sheer cliff, the other a railing hardly waist-high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even before stepping onto it, it was enough to make one’s flesh crawl, difficult to imagine just how this walkway had been constructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once we cross here, we’ll reach Qi Bing Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s keep it up, everyone!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Heng led the way, the first to step onto the plank walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even he was extremely cautious; after all, besides the waist-high railing to his left, there were no safety measures, and below one’s feet was an abyss thousands of feet deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fall would mean certain death, with one’s body shattered to pieces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all supported each other, crossing the walkway as tentatively as blind men fording a river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, no one suffered from acrophobia; otherwise, the fear alone would have killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Zheng Jingjing dallied, she ended up in the last place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s okay, don’t look down, just keep looking ahead,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen consoled her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Easy for you to say!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing’s fear was not feigned—her face had gone pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since everyone was already up, she had no choice but to follow suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth, she ventured onto the plank, but after only a few steps, she made the mistake of looking down and immediately shut her eyes tight in fright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mama!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru, already quite nervous herself, couldn’t help but be amused by Zheng Jingjing’s antics, “Alright, stop dawdling and move on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing didn’t dare look down again, gripping the handrail and moving like a snail, inching forward step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru followed right behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold winds were piercingly chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bone-chillingly sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone, who had been sweating profusely before, now felt an all-encompassing chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the serpentine mountain path, the group of more than a dozen moved slowly, with Jiang Chen bringing up the rear, still carrying the two ladies’ bags over his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whew…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mountain weather was fickle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even halfway across, the wind suddenly picked up, strong enough to make standing difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caught off guard, Li Shuru stumbled, and Jiang Chen quickly steadied her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you alright?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m, I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru, likely not even weighing a hundred pounds, paled but regained her footing, clutching the handrail tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Be careful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Chen let go of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone, stop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s wait for the wind to die down before moving again!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Heng shouted from the very front of the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone halted, tensely gripping anything they could use for support, and nobody dared look down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shu Rui, wu wu, I’m scared…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Jingjing was on the verge of tears and couldn’t bring herself to open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Shuru’s heart was also pounding; now she felt grateful to have someone behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>",1314,"2026-05-30T15:07:10.355Z","2026-06-01T04:31:32.694Z",1,"novelbin.me","475deea602851d6b6593168bfa36d552bc45890ba96c184bae8af2cd30123373","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-55","i-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-chapter-53",2400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-have-10-trillion-dollars-only-usable-for-simpi-cover.jpg"]
