Chapter 175: Chapter 166: No Cold Dreams Tonight (Extra for the little mushroom of Miss Cai!)

"Huh? Just classmates?" Shen Ye hastily said.

"Classmates? Hmph."

"That's all we are. You're acting so strange today, what's the matter?"

"Just look at this—honestly, even Song Qingyun's matter isn't as sensational as yours within the Three Major Colleges," she said.

Several photos appeared on the playing cards.

It was Shen Ye holding up a bouquet of roses, offering them to Nangong Sirui.

In the second photo, Nangong Sirui accepted the flowers with both hands, both of their expressions were one of happy consent.

In the third photo, Nangong Sirui lowered his head to sniff the roses gently, while Shen Ye looked on with anticipation.

The two exchanged smiles in the fourth photo.

Shen Ye held his forehead, moaning:

"You guys are too gossipy... It's not like that at all."

"Then what is it like?" Xiao Mengyu's voice was tough, as if she didn't believe it one bit.

After all, the proof was as solid as a mountain!

Shen Ye had to go to great lengths to explain the situation from the beginning to the end before Xiao Mengyu's voice gradually regained its vitality.

The her on the playing cards also put away her sword, turning away with a slightly embarrassed face.

"Remember not to be late for the gathering at the playground at eight tonight," Xiao Mengyu cautioned.

"I saw the notice; it's not hugging a pillar again, is it?" Shen Ye asked.

"No way, it's the tutor selection!"

"Tutor?"

Suddenly, Shen Ye remembered that last night, apart from acquiring 'Names', what was more important was being selected by a tutor.

"That's right, those who perform excellently will be chosen by tutors right from the playground. I'm a bit nervous, not knowing if a tutor will fancy me," Xiao Mengyu said.

"...Did you get a 'Name' last night?" Shen Ye cautiously asked.

"No," Xiao Mengyu replied, somewhat dejected.

"That can't be right," said Shen Ye.

—She had actually been recognized by the Dharma Realm long ago.

Perhaps because she already had one, there was no new activity last night?

"I didn't feel anything," Xiao Mengyu said disheartenedly, "but after we gather at eight today, a military officer with an opened Dharma Eye will come over to check for everyone."

I'll check it out for you in a bit.

Shen Ye silently thought. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

After chatting a few more words, they ended the call.

Shen Ye thought for a moment, then sent a call request to Nangong Sirui.

"Hello?"

On the playing card, Nangong Sirui, letting several beauties massage his shoulders and arms, lazily exhaled a word.

"Our business is being spread outside, do you know about it?" Shen Ye asked.

"A bunch of trash, not worth my attention," Nangong Sirui said.

"But we have to set the record straight with them," Shen Ye said.

"We didn't do anything wrong; why explain to them? Forget it!"

The communication was cut.

Tsk.

This kid.

Shen Ye was somewhat speechless.

He got out of the hot spring, wiped the water off his body, finished washing up, and then started to rest up quickly.

—He had barely slept all night.

Classes were about to start.

He needed to catch a quick nap.

But then the voice of the Skeleton rang out:

"Hey, I've got some time now, and we also got the materials. How about I upgrade 'Whispers of the Dark' by a rank?"

"...Here? Won't we be found out?" Shen Ye asked.

"Yeah, it's possible. Actually, it's better to do it in a secluded place than here because it's going to cause quite a commotion," the Skeleton said.

"How much time will it need?"

"Not short, it will take quite some time."

"Then it's too late—I have to go to class soon. Let's talk about it tonight in the Nightmare World."

Shen Ye stretched and prepared to lie down in bed.

Suddenly.

The four crimson vertical lines on his hand simultaneously emitted a surging light, converging into runes out of thin air.

These runes gathered together, forming a spinning disc.

—A Teleportation Array!

Before Shen Ye could react, the Array sucked him in.

Zhongzhou City.

Underground.

Somewhere.

His physique flashed, and he emerged from the wall.

In the dim passageway stood a person.

Yun Ni.

"I thought our bet would take a few more days," Shen Ye said.

Somehow, he had an intuition that his best move would be to immediately run out the door.

"Changing the bet comes with a hefty price..." Yun Ni said quietly, "I can't bear to pay such a price either, but someone offered enough stakes, so, I'm sorry, but my bet has to start anew," she declared.

"Who?" Shen Ye asked.

In the darkness, a figure walked towards him from afar.

—Song Qingyun.

Shen Ye paused for a moment.

"Of the Nine Evil Gods, each owned a portion of her lifespan, with eight battling alongside her, while I am her trump card," Yun Ni said.

"A very common battle strategy—leaving oneself an escape route," Shen Ye added.

"Brother Shen Ye, I'm glad you understand," Song Qingyun said with a charming smile.

Her gaze fell upon Shen Ye's arm, focusing on the longevity lock, her whole spirit lifted.

A killing intent rose continuously from her.

"The longevity lock—must have some sort of consent to entrust her life to another person," Song Qingyun said with an excitement she couldn't suppress in her voice:

"I tried it once on my father before, but unfortunately, it didn't work—"

"It's only you who successfully activated this longevity lock, your lives are now connected!"

Shen Ye calmed down and asked softly:

"So even if you have lost eight-ninths of your life and the eight Evil Gods are dead, as long as you kill me here, Song Yinchen will still die, and the Divine Artifact will still be yours?"

"Exactly," Song Qingyun said.

Shen Ye looked towards Yun Ni.

Yun Ni shrugged: "I wasn't planning on lowering my standards, but she is determined to pay her spirit to me—if she loses, her spirit is mine."

"So you changed the bet?" Shen Ye asked.

"Sorry, the world has never been fair, and besides, unexpected challengers can indeed emerge in all kinds of competitions and bets," she explained.
