Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 517 Qingxue is still a bit inferior to Huohuo. Heading to Lieyang Peak.

The old goblin shrugged: "It's a good thing, but it's definitely not something I can get my hands on."

"We outsiders are probably all going crazy with guns, but you have such a good attitude?" Shen Yun smiled, raised his glass, took a sip, and murmured softly.

"I'm afraid they don't want to be used as pawns."

"Huh?!" These words startled the old man, and his cloudy old eyes, which had been looking at Shen Yun, became much clearer.

Who is using them as pawns?

That must be the Heavenly Dao that creates instances!

As native cultivators, the myriad races are not afraid of the Heavenly Dao; in fact, some even have negative perceptions of it.

This was all because of the war that took place on the continent of ten thousand races, which led to the destruction and extinction of many races.

And the one who started this whole thing is the Way of Heaven!

Now that the Heavenly Dao has opened the seal on the cave and released them, and even appeared fragments of nothingness, who knows what kind of conspiracy is brewing.

Therefore, they do not want to get involved.

Even powerful Dao Ancestor cultivators from the outside world were drawn to this place by the Heavenly Dao, perishing and staining the earth with their blood. The chains of laws connecting the continent absorbed all their energy, using them to open the cave heaven and becoming mere tools.

With players now having reached the fifth tier of evolution, it's best for them, with their current strength, not to bother searching for Void Fragments.

'This person is quite remarkable for having such awareness... And judging from his tone, could it be that he is at odds with the Heavenly Dao?' Old Di was both surprised and suspicious, wondering why Shen Yun, knowing all this, still wanted to go looking for the Void Fragments.

Last night, seven fifth-tier evolvers appeared on the list, and they all knew that these must be the pawns chosen by Heaven.

Since this young man has guessed this, there's no need for him to risk his life for nothing.

However, these things had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved. He just focused on pouring wine for Shen Yun.

"The most valuable treasures belong to those destined for them; we insignificant characters are lucky to even be alive!"

'It seems that the last experience has terrified these natives...' Shen Yun didn't press for details. This goblin was not bad; at least he gave him the hint that 'staying alive is the most important thing.'

He sipped his wine leisurely, and casually asked which tribes were the most powerful, planning to visit them if they were nearby.

The old goblin was quite knowledgeable about this, listing more than a dozen tribes, but he also said that these were tribes without intelligence.

After getting the information they wanted, Shen Yun and Ling Qingxue left the tavern and stayed at a nearby restaurant.

"Young Master, shall we head directly to Lieyang Peak tomorrow?" Ling Qingxue asked softly as she closed the door.

"Hmm, let's go see what these so-called fragments look like." Shen Yun stretched and chuckled.

"If that guy knows what it's doing and is fit to be our mount, we'll spare its life."

Traveling on your own is too troublesome; it's much more convenient to find a mount.

"It's its good fortune to be the young master's mount. I hope it won't be ungrateful." Ling Qingxue smiled and went to the window to close it.

"As long as it's not stupid, it's fine." Shen Yun had just sat on the bed when he saw Ling Qingxue leaning on the windowsill closing the window.

This girl is already quite large, and the way she's sticking her body out is incredibly alluring and seductive.

Especially since the girl's right leg was raised off the ground, causing her skirt to slip down and revealing her snow-white stockings, it was incredibly alluring.

Shen Yun's blood boiled at the mere sight of it:

"Holy crap, could there be something wrong with that wine?!"

He felt like he was about to explode, especially since wearing thermal leggings made him very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Ling Qingxue turned around and saw Shen Yun's awkward movements of getting up and sitting down again, but she didn't know it at first.

Upon entering, she noticed the young master's face was flushed and his breath was ragged, causing her heart to flutter.

'Could it be that, young master, you've been staring at me the whole time...?'

That makes sense, from beginning to end, the young master's favorite thing was to admire her from behind.

Now that their cultivation has been sealed and the two haven't been together for a long time, it's normal for them to have some kind of reaction.

'Young Master is getting serious now~' Seeing Shen Yun sitting on the bed, leaning back and resting his chin on his hands, looking thoughtful, Ling Qingxue couldn't help but laugh.

'They said they'd fight hundreds of rounds, how cute!'

She realized that the young master was incredibly funny when he was embarrassed!

Shen Yun wasn't particularly embarrassed; he simply looked at the game screen to distract himself.

Bai Xian'er has returned to the Realm of Escape. Her task of building the Underworld is complete, and she is currently overseeing the overall situation within the Underworld space.

Hongxi, Miaoling, and Zhu Qingcheng are still in Linlang Pavilion. Everyone is safe and sound and no danger has occurred.

'It seems Feng Qingkuang should have entered the instance. Let's see if she can gain the approval of the Heavenly Dao and become a pawn...' Shen Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

Once she rises to power, she will inevitably come to Linlang Pavilion for revenge. If we encounter her in a dungeon, Shen Yun will kill her instantly.

After all, this woman is very likely to become a Void Realm expert, and her destructive power will be different from before.

This woman used to be a stepping stone for Qingxue and the others, but now that she has the potential to advance to the Void Realm, it's best to kill her as soon as possible.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Ling Qingxue sitting at his feet, her slender hand, clad in a lace glove, slowly reaching out:

"Young master, Qingxue has learned some new skills, she can help you relax a bit..."

This was a secret technique she had learned from the Hehuan Manual. Right now, the young master's aura was boiling, so it was a good opportunity to let him relax.

It must have been tough for this girl; her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed when she said those words.

"Ahem, that works too." Shen Yun nodded. If he refused, the girl would definitely be too embarrassed to stay and would return to the Realm of Escape.

'By the way, I wonder if you, young master, would like what that green-skinned fat man asked of the female goblin?' Ling Qingxue, her eyes lowered, pursed her pink lips shyly and lowered her head slightly.

"Hiss~!" Shen Yun's heart pounded wildly:

"Wow, where did Qingxue learn that?!"

But it must be said that a novice with only a half-baked knowledge is still quite capable; even Huoxin is better than Qingxue.

However, for Qingxue, who lived in ancient times, being able to make up her mind was a huge breakthrough.

Thinking this, Shen Yun felt a surge of affection and gently stroked Ling Qingxue's hair at the back of her head.

When their eyes met, Ling Qingxue shyly looked away.

She sensed the affection in the young master's eyes, and naturally felt too shy to look at him any longer...

……

Three poles in the sun.

Shen Yun and Ling Qingxue left the town and headed to Lieyang Peak.

The goblin shopkeeper was quite savvy; he gifted Shen Yun a dragon chariot, which was much faster than the two of them traveling together.

The Fiery Sun Continent and the Ice Source Continent are two extremes.

Upon arriving on this land, the ground was reddish-brown and radiated heat, with waves of heat hitting you in the face.

Even as second-tier evolved beings, Shen Yun and Ling Qingxue felt the intense heat upon arriving here, and sweat began to bead on their foreheads.

The earth dragon was in even worse shape, panting heavily, its tongue lolling out, and covered in sweat.

Fortunately, Lieyang Peak was not far from here. After the earth dragon delivered the two of them there, it ran towards the Ice Source Continent without looking back.

If it stayed here any longer, it felt it would likely be roasted and become food for these two humans.

"Let's go!" Shen Yun raised his hand to shield his eyes as he looked at the giant peak a thousand meters away: "I wonder if it's been taken yet."

The old goblin estimated that this fire phoenix had the strength of a fourth or fifth rank, while the third-ranked person on the list now has the strength of a sixth rank person, so they might have received the news and come early.

Ling Qingxue, standing to the side, gripped the blood flute tightly, ready to play it immediately should any emergency occur.

"Young master, if we encounter a strong opponent who is too fast, I might not have time to use my flute to attack. It will depend on you."

"It's fine, I can blow slowly." Shen Yun smiled confidently. He needed strong opponents to make him spend money, and if he died, he could just be resurrected.

“Yes, young master.” Ling Qingxue nodded.

Suddenly, she realized that this sentence was exactly the same as what the young master had said yesterday, and she immediately blushed and looked at Shen Yun:

"Young master, you must have done this on purpose!"
