Chapter 186 : 185-186

He felt somewhat disappointed.

If he had been 2nd, he would have received 20 Card Coins, which was a huge sum.

It would have been enough for him to use for a long time.

Seeing that he had finally harvested the world fragment, Qin Jianjia said:

“I have to go now. Be careful on your own, it’s best to leave Mechanical City now. I’m worried those Evil Card Masters might come back for revenge.”

She wasn’t afraid of encountering danger in Mechanical City herself.

After all, her strength spoke for itself.

Moreover, even the Evil Card Master organization wouldn’t do anything to her, because she was nominally still the fiancee of an Evil Card Master from Harbor City.

However, Luo Sheng was different.

He had offended an entire organization, and the pursuit he faced would be endless.

So Mechanical City wasn’t safe for him. It was better to leave early when he had gained enough.

Luo Sheng nodded.

Qin Jianjia was right, he should indeed leave. There were many hidden dangers in this Mechanical City, and he didn’t know if there were other organization members lingering inside, seeking revenge.

Then he said to Qin Jianjia: “You be careful too.”

“Mm.”

Qin Jianjia nodded.

Then without another word, she summoned a frost giant dragon and rode it flying in another direction.

Luo Sheng looked up at her gradually shrinking silhouette.

He said helplessly: “She really comes and goes in a hurry.”

However, he also summoned the Wind Magic Dragon. The wind attribute giant dragon had a speed bonus, so its flying speed was extremely fast. Luo Sheng rode it soaring into the sky.

The view of Mechanical City below was unobstructed.

The Mechanical City in the distance still stood tall, and he could hear the roars of invading creatures and their battles with Card Masters.

Everywhere else was a scene of desolation.

It was somewhat similar to Alice’s post-apocalyptic world.

Occasionally, he could also see long-abandoned villages, where the corpses had already turned into bare bones, with a few invading creatures wandering around.

Luo Sheng asked the Wind Magic Dragon to speed up.

The danger level of this place was not low at all.

Although he had obtained third world fragments, the danger coefficient of the mechanical layer might have only decreased by 10%.

This shows how much Mechanical City had grown under the neglect of the Card Alliance. It’s probably not impossible for platinum-level creatures to appear.

While Luo Sheng was riding the Wind Magic Dragon.

He suddenly noticed a familiar figure fighting on the ground.

“Let’s help out, I happen to have something to discuss with her.”

The Wind Magic Dragon roared and flew towards there. Several dragon breaths, fierce wind carrying sharp wind blades, were like meteors falling from outer space.

Several mechanical beasts were cut in half by the wind blades, instantly turning into cards.

The Wind Magic Dragon was Silver 4-star, dealing with these invading creatures that had just reached Silver level was like cutting melons and vegetables, simple and easy.

Then Luo Sheng landed on the ground.

That familiar figure, wearing gray clothes, holding a sharp-edged dagger, and the assassin card in her hand.

“Long time no see, Xu Yourong.”

Luo Sheng jumped down from the Wind Magic Dragon and casually greeted her.

“What brings you here to my place?” Xu Yourong put away the assassin card, saving some spiritual power.

Then she stood still, watching Luo Sheng walk towards her step by step, finally coming to her front.

Xu Yourong continued: “What can I do for you?”

“I just happened to see you on my way and came to help, but I need to confirm something,” Luo Sheng said casually.

Just as Xu Yourong was about to ask what exactly he wanted.

She saw him directly pick her up.

Xu Yourong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, stunned for quite a while, but still said expressionlessly: “What are you doing? Or do you want to continue what happened before? But I only agreed to let you touch my feet.”

The so-called previous incident.

Was when Xu Yourong went missing in the demon realm, Luo Sheng rescued her, so Xu Yourong allowed him to touch her feet.

But that was just a light touch, not like now being picked up.

Luo Sheng chuckled softly.

Staring at her: “There are some things I can’t understand, why do you have burn scars on your body? With your strength, it shouldn’t be possible for this to happen, right?”

The moment Luo Sheng picked her up, he had already felt around, and indeed found scars at her waist.

Even though she had used recovery cards to treat it, because the injury was severe, scars were still left.

“Isn’t this a common thing? In this contaminated land, accidents happen at any time, and injuries are commonplace.”

Xu Yourong said calmly, without blushing or her heart racing.

“Is that so? What kind of creature could have injured you so severely?” Luo Sheng whispered in her ear.

Xu Yourong felt his breath getting closer and closer.

But, she still had no other reaction.

As if it had nothing to do with her.

Seeing her lack of response, Luo Sheng didn’t care either, but continued by her ear: “The person who stopped Qin Jianjia from obtaining the world fragment was you, right?”

Seeing her not speaking.

Luo Sheng hugged her soft, boneless body even tighter.

A faint fragrance of femininity emanated from her body, the light scent permeating the heart.

Qin Jianjia’s scent was a light fragrance that made one linger, but the scent emanating from Xu Yourong’s body made one clear-headed.

But Luo Sheng didn’t stop because of this.

Instead, he whispered in her ear: “Don’t say the injury on your body was caused by invading creatures. I used 【Divine Arrow of Destruction】 at that time, that power could have killed you directly.

Only, what I can’t understand is, why did you help the Evil Card Masters to interfere with Qin Jianjia? Or were you originally a member of the Evil Card Master organization?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Xu Yourong lowered her head, pretending to look completely confused.

Luo Sheng stared at her up close, the distance between their faces was only 4 or 5 centimeters, so close that their lips could touch.

At this moment, their eyes met.

Luo Sheng wanted to see her guilty expression and those avoiding eyes.

Unfortunately, Xu Yourong’s psychological quality was too strong. Even after doing these things, she still didn’t feel guilty at all and stared back at him.

Her deep pupils were as brilliant as the stars in the sky, and as deep as an abyss that couldn’t be seen clearly.

Finally, Luo Sheng and she stared at each other for nearly a minute.

Seeing Xu Yourong still putting on a confused look, he had to say helplessly:

“No need to pretend anymore, I know it’s you. I’ve preserved the blood left at the scene. If you don’t believe me, I can summon the mechanical mole and let her sniff out who the owner of this blood is.”

Luo Sheng showed her the coagulated blood, which had already turned black and dry.

In the previous battle.

He had Bai Moxue collect the blood.

Seeing her own blood, with such concrete evidence, no matter how Xu Yourong lied, she couldn’t deceive Luo Sheng.

So she nodded, “I was the one who stopped her from obtaining the world fragment, but I was only following my family’s orders. However, the mission still failed.”

Luo Sheng looked at her strangely, “Why is your family meddling in this? Or is your family also colluding with the Evil Card Master organization?”

“Who knows? Perhaps only the core members would know. I’m just a tool executing their tasks,” Xu Yourong said, hooking her arms around Luo Sheng’s neck.

Luo Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, colluding with the Evil Card Master organization was tantamount to betraying the alliance.

No family could withstand the wrath of the Card Alliance, so even if they colluded with outside forces, it had to be done secretly.

Luo Sheng asked with concern: “Will you be punished for failing the mission?”

“Yes, my ranking in the family will drop, they might even withhold my resources, or make me do things I don’t want to do. But these punishments aren’t severe, it’s not a big deal.”

“Alright.” Luo Sheng asked about something else: “The injury I caused you isn’t serious, right? You lost quite a lot of blood at that time.”

“Not enough to kill me, I used cards to stop the bleeding.”

“Oh right, I almost forgot, you were planning to kill me,” Luo Sheng suddenly stared at her again.

Xu Yourong’s beautiful phoenix eyes also stared back unblinkingly, “Because without using killing intent, you wouldn’t go all out, and I wouldn’t fail the mission. After all, there’s this thing.”

As she spoke, she took out a miniature pinhole camera, which had recorded the battle scene at that time.

“You mean, you originally didn’t want to carry out this mission, only because of this camera?”

“Mm.” Xu Yourong nodded lightly.

“But, I hope you won’t do this next time, or I’ll really kill you. By then, it’ll be too late for you to cry,” Luo Sheng advised.

After all, Xu Yourong was indeed hard to understand.

Xu Yourong obediently nodded.

Then she gave a big yawn, saying expressionlessly: “Carry me on your back. I’ve been so tired these past two days, especially after getting injured.”

“You…”

Luo Sheng felt both love and hate for her.

Then he put her down on the ground and squatted down himself, “Come on up, Miss Xu.”
