Fantasy: The Second Miss Said She Was Ordinary

Chapter 561 The Instinct to Protect One's Offspring

But the other poor, independent cultivators weren't so lucky; the astronomical figure of eight million was beyond their reach.

"Gentlemen, could you lend us some money? We promise to repay it in installments after we get out."

"Heh, you think you're worthy?"

The Star Clan members, still seething with anger after their defeat, glared at the rogue cultivators with disdain.

As a race that lives forever, they have always been indifferent to humans whose lifespans are as short as mayflies.

Sooner or later they will become nourishment and food for their souls. How dare they associate with predators?

The Star Clan are immortal and have long lost all compassion. Apart from absolute selfishness and the anger and resentment they feel when their selfishness fails, they can no longer generate any other positive emotions.

The rogue cultivators' faces turned rather ugly as they watched these people swagger into the gate.

"Those who get the tickets will embark on a brand new adventure, while we are just penniless."

They emptied their mustard bags, even offering their underwear as collateral, but despite their best efforts, they still couldn't get the tickets. Instead, the little robot angrily threw their underwear back at them.

"Oh my god, is there really no way for us to go in and explore?"

No one is willing to accept this.

Suddenly, the little robot's voice rang out: "Are you sure you really want to participate?"

Everyone looked up: "Really!"

"Well, I'll give you a job. There's no salary, but you can join in. If you do well, I'll give you a reward."

Hopeful eyes lit up in unison.

One by one, they asked eagerly, "What kind of job?"

■

At this point, those who entered the ruins split into two major factions.

Explorers and tourists who pay for tickets.

And, the employed staff.

As for those who failed to pass the level, had no money, and were not hired, they were squeezed out of the corridor and all "vomited" out.

In an instant, the original tens of thousands of explorers were reduced to only five thousand, most of whom were students from Dragonspine Academy.

As everyone stepped through the door, a huge exhibition hall appeared before them.

"They arrived so early."

Qin Youyou and the grandparents of the Holy Light Knights were surprised when they saw their ancestor Qin Fu and the others.

Qin Fu and the others had never seen "Mu Fei Gun" before, so none of them recognized Qin Youyou. However, when they felt the boy's surprised gaze, they strangely did not find it abrupt or offensive.

On the contrary, they all looked at Qin Youyou with curiosity, thinking that this boy had clear eyes and looked very likable.

The last young man they felt so close to was Tang Heihu's sister.

I wonder if my sister has arrived yet? Have I cleared the game?

Thinking of this, their initial excitement about clearing the level was momentarily dampened.

Xuanming frowned as he looked at Qin Youyou.

Why do I feel like there's a familiar aura about this young man?

Then use your mental power to probe further.

Wow, this kid is actually a peak War God. So young, he's almost catching up to Xuanming's unparalleled talent.

"Not bad, kid." Xuanming praised him, giving him the approval of a senior.

Qin Youyou almost had three black lines appear on her forehead.

Dude, you're still as narcissistic as ever.

She has too many aliases. Xuanming has only ever seen Qin Youyou herself. He has never seen either Vadashi or Mu Feigun, so it is perfectly normal that he cannot recognize her.

She didn't intend to expose them and nodded amicably to Qin Fu and the others.

Now, the ancestors looked at this young man even more favorably.

"He's more likable than the guy on our team."

"That's right, humble and polite, and not bad at all."

"This young man has great potential."

Xuanming listened to their whispers and sensed something was wrong. He frowned and turned around: "What are you talking about?"

"They're praising your high taste, wealth, generosity, and strength."

"He who eats another's food is bound to him; he who takes another's money is bound to him." Qin Fu and her companions, with their eyes wide open, could easily utter words of praise.

Xuanming's tail was almost pointing to the sky.

"That's true. It's good that you know how good I am. I'm not someone that other pretty boys can easily compare to."

Qin Fu patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, we got our tickets thanks to you. If we encounter any danger, we'll definitely prioritize protecting you and put everyone else last."

Xuanming was taken aback. "Eh, I, I, do I need your protection?"

Two more groups of people entered the hall; they were Hua Xiange, Hua Yan'er, and the Lan brothers...

"Brother Flying Stick!" The Lan brothers' eyes lit up when they saw Qin Youyou. They strode over, and Lan Xiao punched her on the shoulder.

Qin Youyou smiled broadly.

"What a coincidence, you guys beat the game too?"

"Of course! I didn't expect Brother Flying Stick to still be a step ahead of us!" Lan Ze punched Qin Youyou again.

The blow struck Mu Fei's staff, but the pain was felt in Hua Yan'er's heart.

When Lan Xiao threw the first punch, Hua Yan'er couldn't stand it anymore. Unexpectedly, Lan Ze threw a second punch, which made her face turn red with anger. She was about to rush over to protect her classmate who was flying sticks...

Suddenly, her brother, Hua Xiange, rushed forward and punched Qin Youyou in the nose: "You're the one who bullied my sister!"

Qin Youyou reacted quickly. She now knew that her defense was somewhat invincible and was afraid that Hua Xiange's punch would cripple his hand. She quickly used her mind to reduce 99.999% of her defense.

With his nose sticking out, he took Hua Xiange's punch head-on.

But Hua Xiange still let out a "whoosh" as the pain shot up her entire hand from her finger bones, and her whole arm went numb.

Qin Youyou glared.

Oh no, that was a miscalculation; she underestimated herself.

I should have dodged it earlier.

After Hua Xiange finished delivering that punch, according to the original plan, she was going to deliver another ten or eight punches to beat the guy so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him. But after one punch, he was shocked to find that his arm was almost ruined!

Those envisioned second punches, third punches... all turned into bursting bubbles.

I dare not wave it again.

He dared not swing, but the next moment, the Lan brothers, who were stunned to the side, realized what had happened and rushed forward, each of them punching Hua Xiange.

"You hit my classmate who throws sticks!"

"Are you asking for a beating? You think you can beat up Flying Stick?!"

Hua Yan'er also screamed, covering her face: "Brother, what are you doing!"

Even Qin Fu and the others rushed over for no apparent reason, raising their hands to slap this inexplicable guy twice, but their hands froze halfway through the motion.

its not right.

Why are they getting involved?

They had just met that handsome young man, so why did they suddenly want to stand up for him?

Xuanming looked at them, completely bewildered, and asked the probing question, "What are you all doing here?"
