Chapter 193: Chapter 193: The Nether Realm of the Southern Continent
Afterwards, the group entered the house and took their seats. With a wave of his hand, Lin Jing dispelled the spiritual power that had been keeping the food warm, and instantly pleasant aromas filled the air…
Huang Qingling couldn’t wait to ask Elder Yu:
“Old Man Yu, where’s the gift you said you were going to give me?”
Elder Yu laughed heartily:
“Haha…”
“Don’t worry, you won’t miss out…”
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his Storage Bag and handed it to Huang Qingling.
“Here, your gift…”
“A jade pendant…”
As Huang Qingling said this, she reached out and accepted it.
After taking the jade pendant, she held it, turning it over to examine it closely.
A moment later, Huang Qingling looked up and questioned Elder Yu:
“What function does this jade pendant have…”
At that moment, Elder Bai spoke up.
“Defensive function…”
Huang Qingling’s little face wrinkled as she said:
“Ah…”
“Another jade pendant with a defensive function…”
“I already have several jade pendants with defensive functions on me; I always feel they’re not as good as Magical Treasures with offensive abilities…”
Huang Qingling complained.
“You really don’t know how lucky you are,” Elder Bai said, shaking his head helplessly.
“You should know that for others, obtaining a Defensive Magical Treasure is as difficult as ascending to the heavens…”
“But I feel, always being on the defensive is kind of boring; facing an enemy, it’s better to take the initiative to attack…” Huang Qingling expressed her own thoughts.
Upon hearing Huang Qingling’s words, Lin Jing suddenly turned his head, looking at her incredulously.
All this time…
Lin Jing had never expected that Huang Qingling would also be a warmonger.
Meanwhile, Elder Bai and Elder Yu were not surprised at all, as if they had known this all along.
Elder Yu then spoke up directly:
“This Magical Treasure is different; it can also be considered an offensive Magical Treasure.”
Interest rekindled, Huang Qingling leaned forward eagerly and hurriedly asked:
“How is it different? Come on, tell me…”
“This jade pendant not only can defend, but it can also counter-attack those who sneak attack you…” Elder Yu explained.
“Counter-attack…”
“Can’t it attack proactively?”
Huang Qingling asked skeptically.
“No…”
Elder Yu shook his head.
“Then that’s boring…”
Huang Qingling sounded clearly disappointed.
“Keep it! This was specially selected for you by Elder Yu…”
“You might need it in a while…” Elder Bai interjected.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing looked up, puzzled, at Elder Bai.
“Huang Qingling might need it?”
“She’s always in Fang Market and rarely goes out; under normal circumstances, she wouldn’t need a defensive type Magical Treasure, would she?” Lin Jing was somewhat confused.
Even Huang Qingling was bemused at this moment, clearly unaware of why Elder Bai would say such a thing.
“I don’t go out for training; how would I need it?”
“Soon…”
Elder Bai spoke again:
“If there are no surprises, the Demon Race Secret Realm will open before long.”
“When that time comes, I would like you to go in and gain some experience.”
“Demon Race Secret Realm?”
“Old Man Bai, come on, tell us more…”
As soon as she heard about the Demon Race Secret Realm, Huang Qingling was clearly very interested.
Lin Jing felt the same…
Elder Bai, however, slightly furrowed his brows, as if he didn’t want to say too much.
“It seems that this matter…”
“Should be confidential at this stage, so Elder Bai seems hesitant,” Lin Jing thought to himself.
Afterward, Lin Jing picked up the wine jug from the table and poured a cup for each person…
This fine wine was not like the ingredients that were easy to store; there was also no need to worry about it spoiling.
Therefore, Lin Jing always carried it with him.
As Elder Yu caught the scent of the wine, he couldn’t wait to lift his cup and drank it down in one gulp.
After that, Elder Yu let out a contented sigh.
“As expected…”
“It’s this Qinghua Drunk that suits my taste the best.”
Having finished, Elder Yu then said to Elder Bai:
“Elder Bai, you should tell them…”
“These two youngsters know what’s at stake and won’t leak it out recklessly.”
Lin Jing and Huang Qingling both nodded repeatedly.
“Rest assured, Old Man Bai…”
“We won’t go around spreading rumors.”
