Chapter 240 - Gathering for Cultivation (Complete) (2/2)

Ming Shu grabbed his face and made him look at her. She smiled and kissed him.

Fireworks exploded in Yan Yin’s mind.

Besides that time… this was her first time taking the initiative.

Yan Yin felt a bit faint.

“Tell me, what is your name?”

Her voice suddenly sounded and Yan Yin was completely stunned.

He was a bit anxious and looked away from Ming Shu. “… Yan Yin is my name. Have you forgotten my name?”

Ming Shu followed his gaze and continued to look him in the eye. This was not the name she was looking for. She probed again, “What is your name?”

Yan Yin swallowed. “Why… why are you asking this?”

Why is she asking this?

Which part went wrong?

Yan Yin felt very anxious.

This was the first time he met such a situation in his missions.

Ming Shu caressed his face and touched his lips with her finger. She kissed him again and smiled, her tone light. “Please tell me your name.”

Yan Yin was bewitched and opened his mouth: “Qi… Qi Yu.”

He bit his lips after he said it.

Damn!

Why did I say it!

Ming Shu replied to him with a fierce kiss. Just as he was going to be out of breath, she let go of him and laid on his body. She said in a soft voice, “Nice name.”

The hand that was holding Yan Yin’s hand suddenly dropped.

Air flowed in. Yan Yin’s fingers turned cold.

His whole body was frozen.

“Junior… Junior Sister?”

The wind blew past the mountain.

No one replied to him.

…

Ming Shu went back to the Cloud Room. The Harmony System immediately asked:

[Guest, why did you block me at the end?]

For the sake of privacy, the Guest could choose to block it during certain times.

Ming Shu looked at the white cloud screen and said faintly, “I was doing something private. Do I have to let you see it? Harmony System, what kind of Harmony System are you?”

[…] The Harmony system felt it was odd, but didn’t know what went wrong.

Name: Ming Shu

Hatred Points: 50000

***: ****

Additional Task: Failed.

The additional task was not completed again.

Ming Shu didn’t feel anything. The Harmony System didn’t seem to care either.

“Next world?”

Ming Shu shook her head. “I want to rest for a while.”

The Harmony System was even more curious. However, it couldn’t guess what its Guest was thinking and had to let Ming Shu take a break.

“I want to see the ending,” Ming Shu suddenly said.

The white cloud screen changed into an image.

It was the Yin Sect.

On top of Lingjian Peak, the Taiyan Sword stood alone. Sword sounds starting resonating everywhere and all the swords on Lingjian Peak were responding to it.

There were many people under the Lingjian Peak, including the sect leader and the peak masters.

“What is happening to the Taiyan Sword?”

“Where is Xuan Ji?”

Zi Luo’s Qing Sword started to go out of control. Jun Qing had to help her control the sword.

Zi Luo looked toward the direction of Lingjian Peak. She was still wearing the clothes from the Dan Achievement Ceremony. Her expression was numb as she said in a sad voice, “Master… Senior Sister Xuan Ji has passed away.”

This was the information that the Qing Sword gave her.

The sect leader heard what Zi Luo said and made some prediction. His face changed.

“Yes.” Jun Qing didn’t have much of a reaction. He rubbed Zi Luo’s head and said in a cold voice, “This is the destiny of someone who shouldn’t have appeared here.”

As everyone was gathering and watching the unusual happenings on Lingjian Peak, Yan Yin walked over, carrying someone.

“Junior Brother…”

“Master…”

He didn’t see any of them and went straight up Lingjian Peak.

The minute he went up, the Taiyan Sword let out a loud sound.

Lingjian Peak had closed once again.

The sect leader sighed.

This was the shortest life for a Taiyan Sword owner.

When would Lingjian Peak be opened again?

Yan Yin didn’t do anything there. He stayed on Lingjian Peak everyday and accompanied the corpse that wouldn’t decay due to elixirs. He was like the walking dead.

Ming Shu asked the Harmony System to fast forward. The image suddenly changed to the moment when the evil clan attacked Lingjian Peak.

Zi Luo was injured and Jun Qing was holding a boundary with some other people. The evil clan had gained the upper hand.

Among the evil clansmen, the man in black stood at the front and pointed his sword at Lingjian Peak.

Just as the evil clan was about to destroy Lingjian Peak, a blue figure appeared at the bottom of the mountain. The silver mask was still shining brightly and the figure stared silently at the man in black.

“You can attack anywhere but here.”

The man in black sized Yan Yin up. “She is on the mountain?”

“Yes.”

The man in black smiled. “I will give some face to my rescuer.”

He waved his hand and the evil clan retreated.

The man in black looked in Jun Qing’s direction. “Jun Qing, we should settle our feud. Three days from now, we will have a fair battle…”

Yan Yin didn’t continue to listen to him and returned to Lingjian Peak.

On the day of the final battle, the whole world seemed to have collapsed.

All that was left was darkness.

…

In a room built from metal, all kinds of equipment started making loud sounds.

A youth in a transparent capsule opened his eyes. There seemed to be a storm in the depths of his eyes and it made people scared of him.

He hurriedly opened the door of the capsule and walked out.

The white metal door opened and a few workers entered. “Lord Nine, you…”

The youth lowered his head. “I am fine.”

The workers looked at the numbers which had returned to normal and then looked at the pieces of equipment that stopped beeping. One of them said, “Lord Nine, your emotions fluctuate a lot. You need to go to the psychological therapy room.”

“Yes.” The youth nodded. “I know.”

He looked down and walked out. Once he left, the workers inspected the machines.

“Hmm, Lord Nine completed half of his mission…”

Everyone crowded around. The progress of the mission bar was at 50%.

Lord Nine’s failure rate was as high as 90%. Most of the failed missions did not reach 50% at all.

The workers looked at each other and whispered, “There is something wrong with Lord Nine. We need to report it to the chief.”

“I feel that there is something wrong with him too.”

“No… Lord Nine destroyed the world again.” One of the workers pointed to a gray pointer on the screen.

Everyone: “…”

They stared at each other again and decided to tell on Lord Nine.

Lord Nine’s destructive ability was too scary.

Even if you couldn’t finish the mission, you didn’t have to destroy the world! The repair department will come and look for us again later!

The youth walked through a metal passageway and opened one of the doors. He locked himself up in the room.

His memory was cleared when he woke up. However, he had tried to keep some of the memories this time.

This was very strange.

Something had happened during this mission.
