Chapter 192 – Parting Ways (2/2)

“However, I don’t think Shen DaiYing would be the kind of person to do that during a competition.” Caesar shook his head and denied Rosie’s conjecture, this surely made Rosie’s jealousy, that she just suppressed, surge out again.

“Hmph, how do you know it won’t happen? Who knows what that vixen will do?” Rosie pouted then turned and asked Elena, “Hey, say something! Did your master say anything to you last night?”

“No.” Elena indifferently shook her head.

Nothing special happened last night, other than Lin Xiao’s brief conversation with Shen DaiYing and wishing each other good night, there was nothing else noteworthy.

“Hmph, forget it, let’s not worry about them, they won’t die anyways! Let’s just continue towards the silver vault!” Rosie clenched her fist and changed the subject.

“Wait… our resonance crystal is still with Lin Xiao!” Caesar raised a crucial problem.

“Eh? No way, then what should we do?” Rosie suddenly realized the severity of the problem and let her eyes wander, then suddenly something sparkly attracted her attention, “Wait look, what’s that?”

“Is that… the resonance crystal?”

Under the illumination of the sunlight, the translucent blue crystal glistened.

The crystal was hidden next to Elena, they never noticed it earlier, but it was revealed after Elena got up.

There was also the map for the silver vault next to it, it seems like something did happen and he already made plans to leave, since he had time to leave the crystal and map.

If that’s the case…

Looking at the crystal and map on the floor, Elena suddenly thought of something.

She lowered her head and looked for something in the surrounding, but she didn’t find it and furrowed her brows with agitation.

“Strange.”

Lin Xiao was already long gone, without that thing, the slave contract should have already kicked in. But even without it, the soul rebound wasn’t happening, what was going on?

“Elena, what are you looking for?” Rosie asked curiously.

“N-nothing…”

She steeled her face to hide her restlessness, and continued to secretly look for something.

“What are you faking for… hey, Elena, it feels like your bust has gotten large… en, indeed, it’s not an illusion, that’s not right, what?”

“Ah?”

Elena stopped and looked down at herself.

She then noticed that there was something strange stuffed into her clothes!

Elena quickly turned around and faced her back towards the other two. She reached into her clothes and pulled aside her obstructing flab from left and right then felt something strange and hard in the crevice furthest inside.

Strange, it was clearly someplace touching her body, but she didn’t notice something stuffed inside her clothes until now… was she so used to being bullied by that pervert that she’s becoming accustomed to these strange feelings, so that’s why she couldn’t feel it?

“This is?”

She pulled it out from inside her clothes while blushing and to her surprise, it was an extra-large magic power crystal.

From what she remembers, that was a crystal that Lin Xiao had with him the whole time since before they even left. It could last 48 hours after being filled, so she could last until the end of the competition even without Lin Xiao.

She looked at the crystal she was holding in a daze and coldly scoffed.

It seems like that since the beginning of this competition… no, since they left Winterless City, Lin Xiao already anticipated separating from her!

Was that guy planning something the whole time?

“That guy…”

No matter what happened, that situation was definitely related to Shen DaiYing. Lin Xiao was missing because he went to look for Shen DaiYing!

So everything still ended up about Shen DaiYing.

Why did she leave the team?

Rosie and Caesar didn’t know what Elena was thinking with her head lowered, they simply thought she was depressed because her master left, so they didn’t ask about it. After some discussion, they decided to continue and head towards the silver vault.

Without Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing, they had to be extra careful. The good news was that since it was already the fifth day, the number of teams was already drastically reduced. The remaining teams were all rushing towards the center of the island, looking for the silver vault, so no one was wandering and looking for a fight.

“Shen DaiYing…”

On the way, Rosie and Caesar quietly chatted. Elena was silent the entire time, secretly thinking about Lin Xiao’s plan.
