Hearing Qin Shi's resolute tone, Jade In The Book's small body involuntarily trembled. She knew that Qin Shi didn't say anything, and she also knew that Qin Shi wanted to express his determination to her through this sentence.
"Thank you, Shi Tou."
"That's enough. We've agreed that no one is allowed to be unreasonable. Save Zhou Qin first. If anything happens to her, I guess your Prince Charming will go crazy." Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be relaxed.
Intelligent and smiling, Jade in the Book didn't make another sound, hiding its aura within the burning book.
With the help of the Soul-sealing Tourmaline, Qin Shi quietly sneaked into the elder's tent. The space inside the tent was much larger than he had imagined, and it was supported by a Space Ward.
Qin Shi knew this kind of Ward. When he was fighting for the Holy Spirit Flower in the barren jungle, the Fiend had used it. It had the same effect as a space ring, and it could contain a mountain.
After searching the tent, Qin Shi couldn't find anything. He couldn't help but frown and say, "Why is there nothing?"
"Don't worry. Didn't Meng Hao say that Zhou Qin is in the tent's basement? There should be some kind of secret passage here."
Jade in the Book murmured softly, then jumped out of the burning book. Her beautiful eyes looked around, and when her gaze fell on the center of the barrier, a look of joy flashed across her face, and she said excitedly, "Shi Tou, it's here!"
"Where?" Qin Shi quickly turned around.
Jade In The Book didn't respond. She raised her jade-like hand and touched the void a few times. The stable Space Ward suddenly shook, causing the surrounding scene to distort and turn into the appearance of an ordinary tent.
When the Space Ward broke, Qin Shi immediately found a cave in the center. He said excitedly, "Sure enough, there is a hidden mystery. It should be here."
"Well, let's go down and have a look."
Jade In The Book floated back to the burning book, and the two of them explored along the cave.
The cave was very deep. In the blink of an eye, they walked hundreds of meters and reached the end.
At the end of the path was a large open space surrounded by scarlet volcanic rocks.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Qin Shi released his spiritual power. He did not want to be so close to the core of the earth that the spiritual power here was even more violent, making it impossible for him to determine Zhou Qin's location.
Fortunately, there were a few candles lit around the empty space. Through the faint light and his extraordinary vision, Qin Shi could barely see the surroundings clearly. Only then did he step forward in an attempt to find Zhou Qin.
"Son of a bitch, die!"
Unexpectedly, just as Qin Shi took two steps forward, a scream came from behind him, accompanied by a strong cold wind that stabbed at his back.
In a panic, his expression suddenly changed. With a quick step, he moved to the side, turned around, and stretched out his hand from his sleeve. Unexpectedly, before he could stretch his arm out, his fingertips suddenly touched a soft ball, causing him to snort in surprise. "Huh?
Why does it feel so familiar …! "
"Yiya!
Pervert, I'll kill you! "
Before Qin Shi could recover from his shock, an angry light suddenly appeared in front of him and bombarded Qin Shi.
Pa!
Qin Shi's reaction was extremely fast. He raised his other hand and grabbed a white wrist. Only then did he see the figure in front of him through the faint light. "Zhou Qin?"
This figure was a woman with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Wasn't this Zhou Qin whom he had not seen for three years?
"It's useless to call my name. Take this!"
Zhou Qin did not care about the consequences. She ignored Qin Shi and struggled with all her might. Seeing that she could not break free from his wrist, she raised her jade-like leg and kicked at Qin Shi's crotch.
Staring at her, Qin Shi quickly moved to the side. He did not forget to scold, "Damn, I really don't know how Xiao Yu taught her. Why is she still so rude and unreasonable after not seeing her for three years?"
"Huh?"
The sudden scolding caused Zhou Qin to feel as if she had been electrocuted. Her shy body trembled and her jade-like leg stopped in mid-air. "You, you know me?"
"Nonsense. If I don't know you, why would I come to save you? Look at who I am!" Qin Shi harrumphed. He then released Zhou Qin's wrist and took off the black robe.
As the black robe fell off, Zhou Qin's charming face started to freeze. When her resolute face completely appeared, her eyes turned red. Her jade-like hand covered her cherry lips in disbelief. She trembled and said, "You, you are, you are Stone?"
"Hehe, you recognize me?"
Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "I say, just how great of a grudge did the two of us have in our previous lives? Three years ago, when we just met, you wanted to use a honey trap to deceive me. Now that we meet again, you want to end my Qin Clan's line."
"Pfft!
You still remember what happened three years ago. You are so petty. "Zhou Qin smiled through her tears as she stared at Qin Shi's aggrieved expression.
Qin Shi was indignant. He glared at her and retorted, "Nonsense. Who's petty? What I did was called deep affection, okay?"
Zhou Qin smiled and shook her head. At this moment, she suddenly felt a slight numbness in her chest. A blush climbed up her jade-like neck, causing her to scold him shyly. "If it's deep affection, shouldn't you put your hand down first?
Is this how you treat your good brother? "
"Ah?"
Qin Shi stared blankly for a moment. He subconsciously squeezed his palms and felt a soft and comfortable sensation. He couldn't help but be startled. When he looked down, he realized that his right hand had always been on Zhou Qin's chest. He hurriedly pulled his hand back and said awkwardly, "Cough, cough, that, that, I didn't do it on purpose!"
Glaring at Qin Shi, Zhou Qin curled her lips. "Hmph, don't do it again. Don't you know that you can't bully your friend's wife?"
"Please, who bullied you? You were the one who sneak-attacked me first."
Qin Shi clenched his fist. He looked like he was reminiscing. He smiled mischievously and said, "But I have to say, this feeling is really good. It seems that you have developed well in the three years I haven't seen you. Little Yu will be blessed in the future."
"Get lost!
Pervert! "
Zhou Qin blushed and raised her fist at Qin Shi.
What a joke. After stepping on a tigress' tail, could Qin Shi still stand there and wait for her to show her power?
He took a step to the side and dodged. He smiled evilly and said, "Hehe, I'm just joking. Don't take it seriously."
Reuniting after a long time always made people feel happy. It was the same for both Qin Shi and Zhou Qin. The two of them had too much to talk about.
After playing around for a while, the two of them calmly sat down. Zhou Qin was the first to speak. Her eyes were filled with self-blame. "Shi Tou, it's all my fault three years ago. If I didn't drag Yu back with me to search for the Sweet Dew, you wouldn't have been harmed by the Burning Sky Sect … I'm sorry!"
"Don't mention those unhappy things. Those things are already in the past. Besides, if it wasn't for these accidents, I wouldn't have become who I am now. Don't you realize that I've matured a lot?" Qin Shi smiled narcissistically.
"You're so full of yourself!"
Zhou Qin glared at Qin Shi, but she felt happy for Qin Shi from the bottom of her heart.
After not seeing him for three years, she realized that Qin Shi had indeed changed a lot. Although he still had that frivolous look, there was a resoluteness and steadiness in the depths of his eyes. It was an existence that couldn't be concealed no matter how hard he tried.
Just from this point, Zhou Qin could guess that Qin Shi must have had a hard time in the past three years.
"Alright, don't just talk about me. Let's talk about you. I should be calling you the Crown Princess now, right?
Hehe, how have you been with Little Yu these past three years? "Seeing that Zhou Qin was silent, Qin Shi asked.
Her thoughts were pulled back. Zhou Qin shook her head while panting. Her jade-like face was filled with pain. "I've been fine these past three years. It's just that Yu has had a hard time. Not to mention the Empire's infighting, he's now trapped in the Bejeweled Lava Volcano. His life is uncertain."
"Don't worry. Little Yu is fine. Moreover, I won't let anything happen to him." Seeing Zhou Qin's sad appearance, Qin Shi softly hummed to comfort her.
"I hope so."
Zhou Qin sighed with a pale face. She put her jade-like hands together and said, "Oh right, Shi Tou, why are you here?"
"Me?
Didn't I tell you that I'm here to save you? "
Qin Shi said with a smile. But at this time, before he could speak again, there was suddenly a strong wave of spiritual power coming from the entrance of the crypt. His eyes turned cold. He slapped his forehead and scolded, "Oh no, I was so focused on messing around with you that I forgot that I'm in the enemy's camp."
Hearing this, Zhou Qin could not help but frown. "What?"
Bang!
Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, the crypt suddenly trembled violently. Six figures rushed down from the entrance. The one in the lead was the Elder with the surname Jie. When he sensed Qin Shi's location, he flew into a rage. "Hmph, we've been tricked!"
Staring at the six people, Zhou Qin hurriedly said in a panic, "Shi Tou, what should we do now?"
The six Elders had already forced their way to the entrance of the crypt. It was obviously too late for them to run now. Feeling helpless, Qin Shi could only shake his head and smiled bitterly. "What can we do?
Just fight! "
"Fight?"
Zhou Qin's cherry lips parted in disbelief. "There are six Heaven Realm cultivators on the other side. Just you and me?"
Smiling, Qin Shi suddenly took a step forward, shielding Zhou Qin's frail and delicate body behind him. A confident arc rose from the corner of his mouth, "No, not you and me, but myself!"
"What?"
Zhou Qin's face paled. She had been following Lin Yu for the past three years, and her strength had greatly increased. Now, she was already at the late stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm. Because of this, she could tell that Qin Shi was only at the first level of the Heaven Realm. But even if he was at the first level of the Heaven Realm, he had no chance of winning in this situation. After all, there were six Heaven Realm cultivators at the first level of the Heaven Realm. It was one against six.
"Just wait and watch the show."
Qin Shi did not explain. He tightened his black robe and walked toward the six Elders under the dim candlelight.
Staring at Qin Shi's bold movements, the six were stunned. Elder Jie, the leader, narrowed his eyes. "Kid, who are you?
Do you know the consequences of offending the Qing Luan School? "
"Haha, I don't know the consequences of offending the Qing Luan School, but I do know the consequences of insulting my Sister Yu just now."
Qin Shi clenched his fists with a strange smile. The moment he finished speaking, his aura completely changed into a brilliant golden light that illuminated the entire crypt.
"Death!"
