Chapter 321: Summer Comes Late on the Western Border

Chapter 321: Summer Comes Late on the Western Border

After they left the stone chamber, Ye Wuzong did not follow them right away.

Why would he do that? If he did, then that would make the game too boring.

Xia Chichi had been mostly silent inside, listening to Zhao Changhe chat with Ye Wuzong. Now, she quietly transmitted her voice, asking, “What’s your plan? Are you just going to keep holding onto it?”

Actually, as long as Zhao Changhe was not involved, she would generally be a cold and reserved saintess, a trait she had developed since she was moving around as Luo Qi. Working together with Zhao Changhe this time had made her very happy. They traveled together, ventured into dangerous places, killed formidable enemies, and even faced a Ranking of Earth expert together. It was something he had done together with Yue Hongling in Saibei, and now it was her turn to go through the same experience.

It should have been me long ago!

Standing quietly by his side, watching him chat so confidently with a Ranking of Earth expert, Xia Chichi could not be happier.

Neither the sword pellet nor the dragon-tiger resonance mattered to her as much as simply being with him.

Zhao Changhe responded, “If I just hold onto it, he’ll just take it. Not properly guarding your belongings and letting them get stolen would still make it an act of theft for him. Do you really think he’d be so close-minded?”

Xia Chichi did not really mind. “If he steals it, then so be it. I still think that it really isn’t necessary to offend him.”

Zhao Changhe said, “But don’t you think he’ll respect us more if he fails to steal it?”

Xia Chichi smiled and said, “He is a strange and interesting man. It might really be as you say... But are you sure you’re not just doing this to get me the sword pellet?”

Zhao Changhe chuckled.

He naturally did want to keep the sword pellet for Chichi. How could he possibly be doing all this to entertain some old man?

Xia Chichi was obviously happy. She whispered, “What’s the plan? I doubt we’re any more familiar with this place than he is, so I don’t think hiding it anywhere would be that effective. And if we choose to run, there’s no way we’d outrun him.”

Zhao Changhe moved closer to her and whispered in her ear. “I’m fairly certain of where we might be able to find a secret realm. As long as we can get out of his sight for a while and slip into the secret realm, he won’t be able to take it from us. If we stay there for three days, we win the game.”

Xia Chichi’s ears slowly turned pink. Her ears felt tickled, and so did her heart. She really felt attracted to the idea of hiding in a secret realm with him for three days.

Zhao Changhe, seeing her adorable earlobe, could not resist kissing it.

Xia Chichi pushed him away bashfully and kicked him playfully. “Let’s go.”

“Where to?”

Even if they didn’t directly kill a figure on the Ranking of Man, the Tome of Troubled Times would include them in the report. Subsequently, the rankings would shift forward.

This time, the whole world was taken aback.

Two figures on the Ranking of Man had fallen at once!

Killed by two hidden dragons? No... they were not the ones to kill them, but they at least defeated them!

From the tone of Tome of Troubled Times when it said, “Xia Chichi, joining hands with Zhao Changhe,” it appears that the protagonist this time was Xia Chichi. Fuck, that’s a relief. If it was Zhao Changhe again, we’ll really start suspecting that the Tome of Troubled Times has a secret affair with him.

As if to avoid suspicion, the Tome of Troubled Times actually added, Zhao Changhe’s combat power does not yet reach the standards of the Ranking of Man, and thus his ranking remains.

Everyone’s jaws dropped.

The rankings of those on the Ranking of Man will move forward.

Xia Chichi has unlocked the first layer of the Profound Mysteries. Although she defeated Tarantula with the help of another, she had the upper hand against Tarantula when fighting her alone, so she can take her place on the Ranking of Man.

Rank 58: Four Idols Saintess Xia Chichi.

Summer comes late on the western border, shining brightly on Kunlun after rising in the east.

People were stunned.

When Chi Li and Yue Hongling entered the Ranking of Man, both prideful individuals did not just barely make it in. They both challenged figures who were ranked sixty-sixth and sixty-eighth respectively, aiming for spots past the seventieth.

Yet, Xia Chichi was even more awesome, immediately taking the fifty-eighth place as soon as she entered the ranking!

All of the recent events suddenly gave people the impression that the Ranking of Man was not actually that difficult to ascend.

In reality, it was far from simple. It was not that Tarantula was weak; it was just that Xia Chichi was stronger. Chi Li and Yue Hongling had challenged those on the Ranking of Man before unlocking the Profound Mysteries, while Xia Chichi only did so after breaking through, hence her higher ranking.

Although summer came late on the snowy mountains of Kunlun, it also shone brightly after coming from the east.

The more important question is, how did she already unlock the Profound Mysteries? How old is she? They say her mother was the previous White Tiger Saintess... Who’s her father? Judging by her genes, her father is not some random nobody.

Those who have done their fair share of research could already see that the stars of these troubled times were beginning to shine brightly in the sky. It was becoming increasingly difficult for those who were at the ninth layer of the Profound Gate but had not unlocked the Profound Mysteries to enter the Ranking of Man. In the future, if they continued to remain behind the doors of the Profound Mysteries, they would soon be reduced to mere stepping stones.
