1572 The reason for regret (1)
“Huanzhen, what’s wrong with you?”
Sister Qing’s expression was a little puzzled. She looked at the thin young man in front of her, not knowing why his reaction was so strong.
Huan Zhen seemed to be acting a little strange today. Did he get triggered by something?
Tang Zhen also realized that something was wrong. At the same time, he also understood that he was affected by the emotions of the illusionary realm Lord. Otherwise, he would not have been so impulsive.
Tang Zhen withdrew his hand from big sister little Qing’s skinny shoulder and revealed a smile. He said to the girl in front of him, look, it’s getting dark outside. It’s too dangerous for you to walk alone. I’ll send you to work!
Sister Xiaoqing looked at Tang Zhen in surprise. Her mind was a little confused. She did not understand why this stubborn fellow would suddenly change his personality.
Usually, when she asked him to do something, he was always hesitant, let alone taking the initiative to send her.
“Huan Zhen, it seems like you’ve really grown up. If uncle and aunty knew, they would be very happy.”
When he heard sister Qing mention Huan Zhen’s parents, Tang Zhen felt his heart ache again. This was clearly one of his regrets.
However, under such circumstances, he couldn’t ask too much to avoid arousing sister Qing’s suspicion.
“Sister Xiao Qing is so good to me. If I don’t know how to be grateful, what’s the difference between me and a beast?”
Tang Zhen evilly laughed in his heart as he spoke with a serious tone.
This illusionary reality world Overlord made him feel uncomfortable. Tang Zhen naturally wanted to mess with this guy without affecting the mission.
So what if he was a realm Lord, he really wasn’t afraid!
Even if this fellow was already in a deep sleep, it would definitely still have its subconsciousness. It might be able to hear Tang Zhen’s words. Otherwise, how would it explain those hints?
As expected, once these words left his mouth, Tang Zhen faintly heard a cold snort. After that, there was no longer any movement.
On the other hand, sister Xiaoqing was extremely touched by his words. She smiled and glanced at Tang Zhen before gently nodding her head and saying,”Then you should eat first, I can still make it to work.”
Tang Zhen nodded. He turned his head and walked to the side of the table. He quickly and efficiently ate the food that was still warm.
“I’m done, let’s go.”
After wiping his mouth, Tang Zhen casually locked the door and followed sister Xiaoqing out of the courtyard.
He had already used his spiritual power to scan the surrounding environment. He knew exactly where the mouse hole was. This was a habit that he had developed long ago.
The social environment here was extremely similar to the original world. However, there were cultivators here. A cultivator was hiding near Tang Zhen’s residence. His body emitted a bloody and filthy aura.
Without a doubt, this was a fellow who cultivated evil Arts. He thought that he had hidden it very well, but he did not know that he had long been discovered by Tang Zhen.
However, Tang Zhen simply did not have the mood to pay attention to this evil cultivator. His purpose in coming here was to complete the trial mission and not to eliminate evil for the people. Since the other party did not offend him, he was too lazy to care.
The two of them slowly walked along the street without any street lights. From time to time, they would chat for a while. However, most of the time, it was sister Xiaoqing who spoke. Tang Zhen only hummed and laughed along with her.
Unknowingly, the two of them walked to a slightly remote street. It looked dark, as if something was hidden.
Tang Zhen had already discovered the abnormality before the two of them had even approached. A trace of a cold smile surfaced on the corner of his mouth.
His mind power covered a range of one kilometer so that he could discover hidden dangers in time. If there were no accidents, sister Xiao Qing should have met with a problem here. She had died in her Prime, making the fantasy reality realm Lord regret it for the rest of his life.
After a few more minutes, this regret could be made up for.
Although there were only some small fish in the alley, Tang Zhen had always gone all out for his own mission. He would never slack off just because the enemy was weak.
As a spiritual Emperor and the Lord of the battle zone in the world of loucheng, it would be embarrassing for him if there were any mistakes during the mission.
“Sister Xiao Qing, wait for me here. Remember not to walk around!”
As Tang Zhen spoke, he summoned a King-tier spirit body cultivator from the reincarnation mirror and ordered it to guard sister Xiao Qing.
With this King-tier spirit cultivator’s strength, not many people would be able to hurt sister Qing.
Although she didn’t understand what Tang Zhen was trying to do, sister Xiaoqing still obediently stood on the spot. However, she suddenly felt a little cold and subconsciously hugged her body.
Seeing this, the king-level spirit cultivator quickly retreated a few meters and restrained his aura. He was afraid that the cold energy he emitted would hurt the target he was protecting.
Tang Zhen strode into the dark alley. His eyes suddenly turned ice-cold as he took out a battle blade from his storage equipment and casually waved it at the empty space in front of him.
He only needed a single thought to kill Huan Zhen. However, it did not match Huan Zhen’s current identity. Therefore, Tang Zhen could only go through some trouble.
ah! a scream was heard. Then, a thin man who had been split in half fell to the ground, blood and internal organs flowing all over the ground.
you hiding dog! How dare you mess with me! You must be tired of living!
Tang Zhen took a step forward after he cursed in anger. The battle blade in his hand slashed out once again.
A broken arm flew out from the darkness. This time, the one who cried out miserably was a strong man. He staggered as he appeared from the darkness. His face was filled with fear as he looked at Tang Zhen. Without any hesitation, he turned around and fled.
Tang Zhen didn’t give chase. That fellow’s body had a trace of his mental energy. He was like a time bomb now. Tang Zhen could kill him at any time he wanted.
The most important task at hand was still to send sister Xiaoqing to work. The other things could be dealt with later.
does this count as completing the mission? where’s the reward? ”
Tang Zhen waited for a few seconds. After discovering that there was nothing abnormal, he determined that the matter wasn’t over yet. It might be related to the burly man who had escaped.
After pondering for a moment, Tang Zhen walked out of the alley and waved at sister Xiao Qing.
“Let’s go, sister Qing. It’s fine now.”
A trace of nervousness appeared on sister Xiaoqing’s face when she heard this. She softly said to Tang Zhen,”Huanzhen, what did you see in there?”
Tang Zhen shook his head, indicating that there was nothing.
Sister Xiao Qing seemed to have heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest and said to Tang Zhen, do you know that a lot of girls have mysteriously disappeared recently? I’ve been on tenterhooks every time I go to work.
Tang Zhen was silent for a moment. He secretly thought to himself,”in your previous life, you were actually also on the list of missing people.”
After solving the crisis that had caused sister Qing’s death, the two of them went to sister Qing’s office without any accidents.
A look of surprise appeared on Tang Zhen’s face as he looked at the old three-story building in front of him. He did not expect that the place where sister Xiao Qing worked would actually be a little strange.
It turned out that there were dozens of weak spirit bodies hidden in this shop. The strongest one was only level one, and most of them only had simple spiritual intelligence.
The shop’s name was also very interesting. It was called “spirit luck jewelry shop.” There were some ancient-looking jewelry on the counter. Those fragile spirits were attached to them. Wearing them for a long time could increase the owner’s luck.
It was already dusk, and many shops had chosen to close for the day. However, the shop in front of him had just opened its door.
A white-haired old man was sitting at the entrance of the shop. His head drooped down weakly as if he would fall asleep at any time.
Hearing footsteps approaching, the old man raised his head to take a look. When he saw that it was sister Qing, he slowly lowered his head again.
However, after a second, the old man jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted. He looked at sister Qing standing at the door in horror.
To be exact, the old man was looking at the king-level spirit cultivator floating behind sister Qing. His turbid eyes were filled with unconcealable fear and uneasiness.
As for Tang Zhen, who was standing at the side, the old man couldn’t see anything with his strength and only treated him as an ordinary young man.
uncle Tong, I’m here. You can go upstairs and rest!
Sister Qing said to the old man with a smile and was about to enter the shop.
The old man was shocked and quickly stopped sister Qing. However, he didn’t dare to get too close to her. He looked at the king-level spirit cultivator behind her with fear.
If sister Qing entered the shop, the little ghosts he raised would be scared to death by this ghost king of unknown origin!
