CH 178.1

Lin Xinghe asked around to no avail.

When Su Fengxue, Shen Nanhua, and the others first saw Lin Xinghe, they couldn’t sense any cultivation in her body at all. For a while, they didn’t know whether they just couldn’t detect her high cultivation level or if she was only an ordinary mortal.

Lin Xinghe’s appearance was deceptively cute. Her almond eyes were bright, her eyebrows like crescent moons and her smile sincere and sweet. She didn’t look like someone who would be in the company of demons, and some people even thought that she was threatened by the demons and was working with them to save her life.

Su Fengxue said softly, “Little sister, is your life in danger?”

Lin Xinghe understood what she meant, blinked, and replied, “Nope, don’t be fooled by my appearance, I’m a big villain,” She continued with a smile, “It’s not out of respect that I locked you up here instead of down underwater. I’m just looking for someone, and when I find the one I want, you won’t be treated so well.”

Lin Xinghe’s voice was slightly sweet, but what she said was heartbreaking.

Su Fengxue’s complexion changed slightly after being choked by these words.

Shen Nanhua next to her comforted her through sound transmission, “Junior sister, don’t talk to the demons. I have already sent a distress message to Shifu, who will probably come to save us in half a day, and the demons will be wiped out by then.”

Su Fengxue also replied via voice transmission, “I can’t understand the arrogance of the demons. There must be some way to break through the shackles of the Pantian Tower. Our cultivation cannot be sealed for no reason. When I think of a way, I must take a good chance to frustrate her spirit.”

It was also at this time that demons came to report.

“My lord, there is a cat called Snowball who strayed into the forbidden area of our clan by mistake. It should have been killed immediately, but it had a dragon scale on its body. I dare not do it rashly, so I can only report it to my lord first.”

Before the words fell, a small fluffy head quietly poked out from behind the demons who came to report. Relying on the familiar aura, it recognized the dragon, screamed softly, and rushed to Yingying’s side like an arrow, arching its head at her feet.

Yingying was overjoyed and immediately picked up Snowball.

The dragon and the cat yowled and meowed respectively.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xinghe missed Xiao Xue Ji even more.

Su Fengxue had a delicate mind. Seeing the expression in Lin Xinghe’s eyes change, she secretly paid more attention, and at the same time transmitted voices to the people around her. Naturally, Lin Xinghe couldn’t hear the voice transmission content of the protagonist group, and she didn’t pay attention to what they were doing. She only hoped that this mini-exam would end as soon as possible, that she could defeat Principal Wang as soon as possible, and see her Xiao Xue Ji as soon as possible.

She locked them here just to see which one was Xie Wuan, maybe he could remind her of something, after all, in Xie Wuan’s portable space, when she saw her past selves, she immediately remembered many things.

However, it didn’t matter if she couldn’t find Xie Wuan. As long as she passed this mini-exam and continued to climb the tower, no matter how many problems Principal Wang posed for her, as long as she solved them, she would see Xie Wuan eventually.

Lin Xinghe was thinking about how to pass this mini-exam.

In the last mini-exam, she caused all the NPCs to awaken collectively. The rules of the game could not continue, and the world of the mini-exam began to collapse. So how could this mini-exam collapse?

…Kill all the protagonists?

…Or find a way to awaken all the NPCs in this world?

When Lin Xinghe first came to this world, she also thought about the latter method. But it was a bit tricky. The last mini-exam had fewer people, and this one had way more, not to mention they wre divided between three warring realms.

At this moment, Lin Xinghe suddenly felt the silence around him, raised her head slightly, and found that Yingying had become still, Xueqiu’s claws were arched in midair,, and the protagonists were also motionless—their eyes did not blink at all.

Time actually stood still.

She was slightly taken aback.

Soon, she heard Xie Wuan’s long-lost voice.

“……I see.”

“… No wonder.”

Lin Xinghe was so surprised that she couldn’t help but look around. Her eyes flicked from the faces of the protagonist group, and she also looked at Yingying and Xueqiu, but they were all still, so obviously, they couldn’t be Xie Wuan.
