Chapter 101

Mu Ye ignored her.

But that didn’t stop Zhou Yuke from feeling envious, jealous, and resentful.

“I’ve heard that opportunities in the secret realm are great, but I’ve entered twice and found nothing, while you’ve become a magic saint! It’s so infuriating to compare people!”

Advancing to a Magic Saint is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

You have to know that even if she trained steadily, it would take at least fifty to sixty years, even up to a hundred years, to become an advanced mage. And to progress from an advanced mage to a magic saint, it also requires a great opportunity.

There are many advanced mages on the continent, but magic saints are few and far between. Too many people stop at the advanced mage level.

Ye Xi nodded in agreement, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

“Let’s not talk about this; come on, let’s continue playing cards.”

Ever since they arrived here, Su Hua has had no other leisure activities.

Zhou Yuke shook her head, “No more playing, Hua Hua; there are ten days left. I also want to look for some opportunities.”

Ye Xi nodded in agreement again.

Maybe they’ll step on dog shit luck?

“Opportunities aren’t so easy to find; you two aren’t the main protagonists.”

“What main protagonists?”

Su Hua took out two porcelain bottles from her space and said, “Here, each of you gets a marrow cleansing pill. Will you play cards with me now?”

The two: “…”

“Marrow Cleansing pill??” A rare and valuable marrow cleansing pill?

“Don’t make a fuss like you’ve never seen the world. Use it when we get back. There’s nowhere to bathe after cleansing here. Come on, let’s play cards.”

Su Hua sat down first, and Mu Ye followed.

After a while, Zhou Yuke sighed, “Why am I not from Xuanyun Academy?”

After that, the two no longer searched for opportunities.

These things are hard to find anyway, purely based on luck. Many people enter every year, but few come out. Most die inside, and even fewer come out with opportunities.

Now that Su Hua had given them marrow cleansing pills, they really lucked out.

With Mu Ye joining, their card game went from three players to four.

Mu Ye had a sharp mind. After just a few rounds, he could remember and calculate the cards.

After Mu Ye won countless rounds, Su Hua suspiciously looked at him, wondering if he was a time traveler with some cheat.

“De’er, scan him for any cheats.”

“Host, he doesn’t have any cheats. You just aren’t as good as him.”

“Block it, block it.”

“…Being an AI is tough.”

De’er couldn’t help but recall the time before it was bound to its host. Back then, it imagined its host would be soft, cute, and obedient. Listening to what other systems said, it indeed should have been that way. But…

Alas, it turned out that this was someone else’s host.

Ten days later,.

The secret realm automatically transported the living to its exit.

Compared to the others’ injuries and disheveled states, the four of them were in high spirits.

Their mentors came to greet them, and after not sensing Mu Ye’s cultivation level, they were all shocked.

Their own cultivation levels were at the intermediate mage level. Not being able to sense Mu Ye’s cultivation meant his level was higher than theirs, or he had some kind of secret treasure.

Either way, it proved Mu Ye had found an opportunity in the secret realm.

When Meng Yunxin emerged, Su Hua raised an eyebrow slightly. Wasn’t that man the second male lead, Lou Lan? The two had met in advance! How extraordinary!

“It’s all your fault!”

“De’er, don’t shift the blame randomly. I’m not taking the fall for this.”

“Hmph, it’s because you told Ni Xiang those things, which led her to send people to assassinate Meng Yunxin. Meng Yunxin was a step late, and the elixir was taken by Mu Ye.”

Su Hua was shocked: “No way! There’s actually something like this?”

When she was walking with the male lead earlier, she knew someone was following them from the shadows.

It must have been Ni Xiang’s people. She wondered if the male lead knew.

“Otherwise, what did you think?”

“I really didn’t expect it. I actually did such a good deed. I wonder when Meng Yunxin and Lou Lan will get together?”

“…”

#Host is too immersed in the idea of giving the male and female lead a green hat#

No matter what, the journey in the secret realm was over, and Mu Ye and Su Hua were preparing to graduate.

Their cultivation had reached a point where there was nothing more to learn. The emperor had also come once to recruit them into the palace, but they declined.

Mu Ye still had his own matters to attend to, namely revenge.

Although he was cold-blooded and ruthless, he remembered clearly the five years of constant care from that old couple.

Because of him, the couple faced a catastrophic disaster. Regardless of his feelings, Mu Ye had to avenge them.

[Ding, hidden task: Discover Mu Ye’s origins. Reward: Ten points.]

Su Hua: “…” Next time, can I get someone without a mysterious background? I’m not a family reunion website, constantly helping people find their relatives!

Despite her complaints, Su Hua still embarked on the path of looking for relatives—oh no!, seeking revenge with Mu Ye.

Last time, a group of black-clad men came to assassinate Mu Ye, probably the same people who wiped out his family when he was five.

Whoever they were, they hadn’t given up on Mu Ye after all these years.

Su Hua wasn’t clear on the details. The original plot didn’t mention much about Mu Ye’s background, only describing how bad he was and how the female lead killed him to eliminate a public menace.

Damn it! How am I supposed to find them!

She could only hope the black-clad men would come after them again.

As if her prayers were heard, while staying at an inn, the black-clad men came to assassinate them again.

This time, the assassins were smarter, mostly physical cultivators.

Only a few magicians were there to assist.

Mu Ye, now a magic saint, didn’t need Su Hua’s protection. Dealing with the black-clad men was no problem for him.

As if pent-up for a long time, Mu Ye stood behind Su Hua, casting large spells without restraint.

In the blink of an eye, only a few of the dozens of black-clad men remained.

The few exchanged glances and tried to retreat.

Seeing this, Su Hua immediately captured one alive, ignoring the rest.

The captured man in black: “…” Why was he the unlucky one?

The black-clad man tried to bite the poison in his mouth, but Su Hua saw it and dislocated his jaw.

“…This is worse than death.”

Su Hua used only two of her eighteen torture methods before the man confessed.

Su Hua was quite disappointed.

According to the black-clad man, they were from the continent’s most famous mercenary group, the Cangyan Mercenary Group, hired by Prince Jimo Chen of the Baiqi Kingdom.

Su Hua rested her chin on her hand: “The prince of Baiqi Kingdom… Could Ah Mu be a royal prince?”

If a prince was sending people to kill, the most likely reason was the throne.

“I don’t want to be.”

Mu Ye’s face was calm.

He only wanted to finish his revenge and stay with her forever.

Mu Ye’s cute and silly look amused Su Hua. She pinched his cheek, “Why is my Ah Mu so cute?”

Hearing this, Mu Ye smiled shyly.

His lips were red, his teeth were white, and his long eyelashes fluttered.

His eyes sparkled like stars, as if she were the only one in his world.

“I like you.”

I want to be with you forever.

Su Hua leaned in and kissed him, saying, “Let’s sleep. Tomorrow we set off for Baiqi Kingdom.”

“Okay.”

Since they were near the border, they hired a thunderbird and flew towards Baiqi Kingdom.
