“No! The Shadow Alliance has nothing to do with the two major organizations.” Tang Yuanqing shook his head and replied.

“The two organizations are the two most powerful forces since ancient times… However, I heard from the Dragon that other than the two organizations, there are still terrifying creatures that have survived from ancient times in this world.”

“These terrifying creatures are not comparable to the two organizations in terms of power… but their individual strength is also extremely powerful.”

“There seems to be some terrifying creatures supporting the Shadow Alliance!”

Chu Zhou was stunned as he did not expect Tang Yuanqing to throw out another secret when he asked casually.

Other than the two organizations, were there actually terrifying creatures that survived from ancient times in this world?

Suddenly, Chu Zhou felt that the waters of this world were too deep. What he understood now seemed to be only the tip of the iceberg.

“Digest all the information I have told you! In short, you have to be vigilant and pay attention to your safety for the next period of time.”

Tang Yuanqing patted Chu Zhou’s shoulder and left.

“The water in this world is really deep…”

Chu Zhou thought of the secrets of the two organizations and the terrifying living beings and sighed deeply.

However, he was not afraid of this.

One day, he, Chu Zhou, would be the greatest faction in the world and the most terrifying living being.

Beep beep…

Suddenly, his communications watch rang.

Chu Zhou looked down and realized that it was Dongfang Mingzhu.

He tapped on his communications watch and Dongfang Mingzhu’s 3D projection immediately appeared in front of him.

Chu Zhou saw that Dongfang Mingzhu looked a little haggard and frowned slightly. However, he teased.

“Big Sister Mingzhu, did you miss me when you saw my unparalleled heroic bearing when I forcefully killed a King Realm expert?”

Dongfang Mingzhu almost burst into tears as she looked at Chu Zhou’s familiar figure and recalled the anxiety and grievances she had suffered recently.

Upon hearing that Chu Zhou was actually teasing her, her face turned slightly red. She couldn’t help but scold him jokingly, “Pfft! How dare you flirt with me! Chu Zhou, you’re good. I haven’t seen you for a while, but you actually dare to tease me.”

“Hahaha, Big Sister Mingzhu, your face is already red. Did I hit the nail on the head? Tsk tsk, that’s normal. Wouldn’t that woman be moved by an outstanding person like me?”

Chu Zhou looked at Dongfang Mingzhu’s worried expression and teased her. He wanted to use this method to comfort her.

However, to his surprise, Dongfang Mingzhu suddenly stared at him in a daze and said something that scared Chu Zhou silly.

“Chu Zhou, let me marry you!”

“Uh…” Chu Zhou paused when he heard this.

He had never expected Dongfang Mingzhu to confess to him so bluntly and was completely unprepared.

“Hehc, I must have scared you! I was just joking with you!” Dongfang Mingzhu covered her mouth and laughed when she saw Chu Zhou’s frozen expression.

“By the way, Chu Zhou, my grandfather, is holding his 300th birthday celebration tonight. I want to invite you to attend the birthday banquet… Is that okay?”

Towards the end, she seemed to feel that her request was a little too much. She looked at Chu Zhou nervously.

Chu Zhou had yet to recover from his shock. Upon hearing Dongfang Mingzhu’s invitation, he nodded in a daze. “Sure!”

“Then… Big Sister thanks you!”

Seeing Chu Zhou nod, Dongfang Mingzhu heaved a sigh of relief. The worry on her face seemed to have lessened.

She suddenly approached Chu Zhou and gently touched his face with her red lips.

“This is my thank-you gift to you!”

She chuckled and the projection disappeared.

After Dongfang Mingzhu’s projection disappeared, Chu Zhou gently touched the spot where Dongfang Mingzhu’s projection had kissed him. However, he frowned.

Dongfang Mingzhu was too abnormal today.

In his impression, Dongfang Mingzhu had always been elegant, charming, generous, and confident.

However, the Dongfang Mingzhu he saw today looked extremely haggard and dejected.

Besides, Dongfang Mingzhu’s sudden “confession” was rather abrupt.

He knew that Dongfang Mingzhu had a good impression of him… but based on Dongfang Mingzhu’s personality, she wouldn’t have “confessed” so abruptly when the time wasn’t right.

Unless there were other factors behind Dongfang Mingzhu’s abrupt actions.

At the thought of this, Chu Zhou contacted Yang Zhenzhen.

“Chu Zhou, I didn’t expect a busy person like you to take the initiative to contact me!”

Yang Zhen really received Chu Zhou’s call and said excitedly.

“Big Sister Zhenzhen, what are you saying? We’re friends. Isn’t it normal to contact you?” Chu Zhou said with a smile.

“At least you know how to talk!” Yang Zhenzhen smiled. “Tsk tsk, Chu Zhou, you killed two King Realm experts in a row on the plains just now. Even though you haven’t advanced to the King Realm yet, you’re a King Realm expert in the eyes of the world. It’s really an honor to think that I actually have a King Realm expert friend!”

“Big Sister Zhenzhen, don’t tease me! I know that your Yang family is a Martial God Clan. A mere King Realm expert is nothing!” Chu Zhou rolled his eyes.

“That’s different. Family is a family. Friends are friends!” Yang Zhenzhen smiled.

“By the way, Big Sister Zhenzhen, Big Sister Mingzhu contacted me just now. I kept feeling that something was wrong with her after I saw her… What exactly happened to her?”

After chatting for a while, Chu Zhou asked the question he wanted to know.

“I knew you wouldn’t call me for no reason!” Yang Zhenzhen muttered. Then, she became serious and sighed.. “Something did happen to Big Sister Mingzhu…”
