“Hey, hey, stop running. You can’t go like this!”

“Shoot. Wait up, Qi Liangcai!”

Seeing Qi Liangcai running out of the dormitory building with blood all over him, Wei Shan was rendered speechless. He hurried to follow up.

Qi Liangcai was going to see Ye Xuan like this.

It would not be delightful for Ye Xuan’s parents if they saw Qi Liangcai with that terrible look while Ye Xuan was not there.

An idea occurred to Wei Shan while the two were heading for the villa Ye Xuan lived in. He took out his cell phone to call Ye Xuan right away.

Toot. Toot…

However, nobody answered the phone after it had been ringing for some time.

He instantly had a hunch that something bad must have happened.

It can’t be true!

Didn’t Lv Jing say only just now that Ye Xuan had called her?

It was not long ago.

Did Ye Xuan really go to the Ancient God Planet?

While Wei Shan was having all of those doubts, Qi Liangcai’s face fell when he had seen Ye Xuan had not answered the phone.

He sped up immediately towards Ye Xuan’s villa.

At Jiangzhou University, everyone that saw them on the way was astonished.

They wondered what had happened to the two.

Qi Liangcai looked especially crazy. He even called out his Three-legged Hellfire Crow with a broken wing on the way.

Despite the broken wing, the Three-legged Hellfire Crow could still manage to fly.

However, while it was flying.

It was bleeding incessantly on the way.

“What the heck! Who is that?”

Some students could not help but curse when they had got stained by the falling blood. They had not noticed the bleeding Three-legged Hellfire Crow in the sky.

The janitors working at Jiangzhou University were pissed off instantly at the sight of that.

It is unpleasant enough that you are soiling the roads with blood, but it is not the worst.

You are soiling the surface of the buildings and glasses with blood, too? What are you up to exactly?

Most importantly, you have been flying for a few miles, haven’t you?

Do you know how long it will take us to clean up all this?

However, this was not Qi Liangcai’s concern.

Flying with the Three-legged Hellfire Crow, he arrived at the mountain’s foot where Ye Xuan’s villa was located very quickly.

“Darn it. Qi Liangcai, you stay here. Don’t go up there now. I will go and have a look first!”

“We will figure out another solution if Ye Xuan is really not there.”

Wei Shan stopped Qi Liangcai from going up the mountain as soon as they arrived there.

So that Qi Liangcai would not dash into Ye Xuan’s villa with that horrible look.

He was going to check up on the villa by himself first.

Buzz!

However, when Wei Shan had jumped off Qi Liangcai’s Three-legged Hellfire Crow and checked up on Ye Xuan’s villa.

A verdant seed appeared in a flash in front of Ye Xuan’s villa.

Then a giant verdant tree showed up before Wei Shan.

As the giant tree branches lifted one by one, a woman with a perfect body showed up out of thin air.

“Qi Liangcai and Wei Shan?”

Lin Shiru found Qi Liangcai and Wei Shan at the foot of the mountain as soon as she walked out of the tree.

She seemed to anticipate something when she had seen the two’s looks.

Frowning, she released her Mind Energy to explore Ye Xuan’s villa.

He is not there?

Lin Shiru’s heart sank when she had found Ye Xuan was not in the villa.

Then she flew down from the peak immediately.

She landed before Qi Liangcai and Wei Shan.

“What happened to you two? By the way, do you know where Ye Xuan has gone?”

Lin Shiru asked, frowning deeply, after throwing a glance at Qi Liangcai first and then at the Three-legged Hellfire Crow with a broken wing next to him. She noticed they were not in a good state.

She could not figure out how come Ye Xuan had suddenly disappeared. He had been sending her messages just not long ago.

And Qi Liangcai looked so terrible. Something must have come up.

“Ancient God Planet!”

“Ye Xuan went to the Ancient God Plains of the Ancient God Planet!”

“Dean Lin, Ye Xuan was being attacked by Ye Tiange and many others when I left the Ancient God Plains just now. Please help him! Please!”

Qi Liangcai said right away. He felt he had found the rescue as soon as he saw Lin Shiru.

Ancient God Planet? Ancient God Plains?

Lin Shiru turned pale immediately.

She could go there indeed.

However, it would be hard for her to reach the low-level zone after arriving there.

Besides, if what Qi Liangcai said was true.

That Ye Xuan was being attacked by Ye Tiange and many others when he left the Ancient God Plains now long ago.

It would probably be too late by then.

Even if she figured out a way to reach that area or sent someone else there to help Ye Xuan out.

Whoosh!

However, while they were worrying about Ye Xuan, the air in Ye Xuan’s villa suddenly fluctuated, and the fluctuation spread over.

Then Ye Xuan walked out of thin air.

“Gee. I am afraid Qi Liangcai has been dumbfounded.”

“Well, not necessarily. Maybe his transmission Jade Amulet sent him to other parts of the Ancient God Planet, instead of bringing him back to the Cerulean Planet.”

“In that case, I might return to the university earlier than he does.”

Ye Xuan was beaming when walking out of thin air.

He had been speaking to himself before he picked up the cell phone from the bed.

He would call Qi Liangcai to tell the dude that he had come back safe and sound so that Qi Liangcai would not be worried about him after coming back from the Ancient God Planet.

“Eh?”

However, as soon as he picked up the cell phone, he found he had more than one missed call, which was quite surprising.

And he had a few new messages, too.

He unlocked his phone and found Qi Liangcai and Wei Shan; Lin Shiru had also called him.

Those messages were also from Lin Shiru.

“Oh, all of them have been back.”

Seeing the calls from Qi Liangcai and Lin Shiru.

And seeing the messages from Lin Shiru, Ye Xuan felt relieved right away.

He was apprehensive about Lin Shiru earlier, wondering whether she had run into any danger in the Abysmal of Darkness.

Fortunately, Lin Shiru did not make him worry for too long.

According to her message, Ye Xuan estimated she would arrive here in ten-odd minutes.

The Barren State was very far away from Jiangzhou.

Unless Lin Shiru’s Sacred Divine Wood had achieved the Diamond level.

Even she would not be able to arrive here quickly.

Ye Xuan tapped on one of the missed calls to call Qi Liangcai back while thinking.

Qi Liangcai was not in an excellent state when he came back earlier.

Ye Xuan figured he had better call Qi Liangcai to tell this dude he had come back safely.

“Ye Xuan?”

He heard Qi Liangcai’s surprised voice coming from the phone as soon as he returned the call.

“Yeah, it’s me. I am back. How are you doing? Are you all right?”

Ye Xuan asked as soon as he heard Qi Liangcai’s voice.

“You are back? Where are you? Are you in your villa?”

Qi Liangcai asked immediately.

“Yep.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

“Fuck. I am at the foot of the mountain where your villa is located. Come down here as soon as possible!”

Qi Liangcai cursed on the phone as soon as he heard Ye Xuan’s answer.

He is at the foot of the mountain?

Ye Xuan was struck dumb.

He called out the Tidal Treasure Snail’s real-time map right away.

Then he found that Qi Liangcai and Wei Shan, and Lin Shiru were at the foot of the mountain.

“Ms. Lin is already back, too?”

Ye Xuan was surprised by how little time Lin Shiru had spent on the trip.

He did not expect her to come back from the Barren State so quickly.

Had her Sacred Divine Wood achieved the Diamond level already?

Ye Xuan wondered.

He walked out of the villa in a hurry while having this doubt in mind.

…

“Have you really achieved the peak Bronze level?”

Lin Shiru was pleasantly surprised by Ye Xuan, who was standing in front of her in his villa.

She went to the Abysmal of Darkness to look for a beast for Ye Xuan. It was supposed to be a beast on the peak Bronze level and with great potential.

Such a beast would help Ye Xuan improve his cultivation level quickly if he could contract with it successfully.

However, she did not expect Ye Xuan to give her such a pleasant surprise when she had just been back from the Abysmal of Darkness.

He achieved the peak Bronze level by himself.

And more than one of his beasts achieved the Silver level.

It was a big surprise that totally overjoyed her.

She felt it was the best decision she had ever made to go to Yunhai City to meet Ye Xuan in person and get a contract signed with him.

Otherwise, if Ye Xuan had gone to a different university.

Instead of Jiangzhou University.

It would take Jiangzhou University a lot of time if they wanted to become a big power, and they would not necessarily achieve that.

But by then, Ye Xuan gave her hope again.

She pinned her hopes on Ye Xuan.

And she even felt she would see Jiangzhou University rise earlier than she had thought.

“Ms. Lin, didn’t I tell you everything in the messages I sent you?”

Ye Xuan instantly broke into a smile.

He sat down opposite Lin Shiru after pouring a glass of water for her.

They were alone in the villa at the moment.

As to Qi Liangcai, Ye Xuan told Wei Shan to treat his injuries after seeing him.

That dude was badly injured.

Not only he but also his Three-legged Hellfire Crow were badly injured.

He was afraid Qi Liangcai would need more than a few days to recover completely this time.

“The messages you sent to me? How dare you bring that up?”

Lin Shiru gave Ye Xuan a stare.

Since they had been chatting quite closely lately, she had stopped simply coming straight to the point when talking to Ye Xuan.

Instead, they would talk like two friends.

“Heh-hey.”

Ye Xuan broke into an awkward smile.

Not until then did he recall he had called her silly more than once.

“Well, I will forgive you this time.”

Lin Shiru shook her head at Ye Xuan. Then she said, “Well, I achieved the goal of my trip to the Abysmal of Darkness. I have brought back that Obscurus I told you about.”

“You should contract with it now.”

She flipped the palm of her hand as she spoke. Then a heap of shadow showed up in front of Ye Xuan.

Whoosh!

That heap of shadow turned into an obscure figure as soon as it landed on the ground, but it looked it was going to run away.

It was incredibly fast.

Ye Xuan had not even seen its movement clearly when it moved to the door.

Whoosh!

However, Lin Shiru exerted her Mind Energy at this moment.

And it was instantly trapped there as if there was a cage made of Mind Energy.

“Is this Obscurus?”

Ye Xuan was surprised at the sight of it.

He shifted a dash of his consciousness as soon as he fixed his eyes on it.

He opened the Beast Editor in his head to identify its attributes.
