Chapter 32

It's the second watch of the night! Please continue to support Old Pig!

The announcement was broadcast twice more.

Lin Qing didn't react at first, but once he figured it out, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

This space is truly malicious.

In this world, there are only three newbies, including myself, so it's unlikely to pose a threat to the Hong Gang. But what if there are other powerful teams in this world?

They would definitely have their eyes on the [Secret Passage of Bright Peak] map, which is guaranteed to drop upon death!

Conflict and bloodshed are inevitable.

He was even more grateful for his sharp intuition, having sealed the news with 1000 taels of silver. Otherwise, these seven people would definitely come after him.

But reasoning in reverse.

The seven members of the Hong Gang must be on Bright Peak, otherwise, they couldn't have obtained the [Secret Passage of Bright Peak] map. This map can only be obtained through two means: either by being related to Yuan Zhen or Zhang Wuji. Yang Chao and Xiao Zhao, among others, are unlikely to have it.

Thinking about this, Lin Qing sighed deeply.

But these are all twists of fate, impossible to predict in advance.

However, he couldn't help but feel a bit puzzled.

How did these seven members of the Hong Gang manage to trick Zhang Wuji into giving them the [Secret Passage of Bright Peak] map in just a few days?

He had gone to great lengths, risking everything, and even killed Yin Yewang to obtain the [Tianying Sect Headquarters] map. How did these guys manage to do it?

Lin Qing was impressed by the power of strong teams.

"Is that Planning Department really that powerful?"

Lin Qing's thoughts were scattered, and he couldn't come to a conclusion. Seeing that Yin Wufu and the other person were still eagerly looking at him, he smiled and said, "Let's go! Remember, I can give you your lives and status, and I can take them away just as easily!"

The two bowed and respectfully left.

Lin Qing turned and returned to his tent.

The next day, Lin Qing had a good sleep and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.

Master Miejue, Yin Liting, and several experts from the Kunlun Sect were all injured to varying degrees in yesterday's battle, so they decided to rest for another day.

Lin Qing used this day to visit Master Miejue.

Zhou Zhiruo was serving Master Miejue, who, upon seeing Lin Qing, smiled faintly and said, "Are you here to claim your reward from Miejue?"

As she spoke, her eyes glanced at Zhou Zhiruo.

Zhou Zhiruo immediately blushed and turned to leave.

Lin Qing coughed and sat down next to Miejue.

Miejue said seriously, "Do you really not want Zhiruo? This girl, aside from her appearance, has excellent character and is a standout in our Emei Sect. I thought you would have asked for her yesterday."

Lin Qing replied solemnly, "Qing Shu and Zhiruo are both from prestigious families. How can they decide their marriage on their own? It must be with the consent of their parents and a matchmaker. As a Wudang disciple, I must also seek the approval of my ancestors and father before I can formally propose to the Emei Sect. Besides, Zhiruo seems to have someone in her heart. Although I like her, I understand that forcing a relationship won't be sweet. Why would I force her?"

Miejue nodded approvingly, "That's the demeanor of a disciple from a prestigious sect. You didn't ask, but I understand. When I meet Master Song, I will discuss it with him. You don't need to worry about Zhiruo. She grew up under my care and listens to me. I will make the decision for her, and she won't run away!"

Lin Qing was overjoyed, never expecting that pleasing Miejue would bring such unexpected benefits.

He received a notification: "Due to Miejue's strong support, Zhou Zhiruo's attitude towards you has improved. Her affection for you has increased to 40 points."

Lin Qing stood up and said to Miejue, "Disciple has some questions about cultivation and needs your guidance, Master."

Miejue smiled, "Feel free to ask."

Lin Qing asked Miejue about some issues he encountered while practicing the [White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Technique].

Miejue frowned, "The martial arts you are practicing are very cunning and deadly, with every move being a lethal grappling technique. They don't seem to be from the Wudang Sect, do they?"

Lin Qing thought, Miejue is indeed a master, able to identify the origin of the technique at a glance. He admitted, "I found this technique on a Tianying Sect disciple. However, I believe that techniques from other schools can complement my Wudang grappling techniques. I just fear that my father and uncles will blame me."

Miejue nodded, "That's understandable. While these side techniques and odd skills are easy to learn and powerful in the early stages, they ultimately can't compare to the upright and steady methods of prestigious sects like Wudang and Emei. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't guide them, but since you asked, I will help you today."

Thus, Lin Qing spent the entire day practicing the [White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Technique] in Miejue's tent.

Miejue, a master of her generation, was not only an expert in swordsmanship but also had deep knowledge of internal cultivation and grappling techniques. Lin Qing was deeply impressed by the abundance of heroes and experts in this world. Even with the advantage of the plot, adventurers would find it difficult to conquer this world.

He received a notification:

"You have practiced the [White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Technique] under the guidance of the plot's top expert, Master Miejue."

"Your cultivation speed is ten times faster than usual."

"Your [White Eyebrow Eagle Claw Technique] Level 1 proficiency has increased by 50 points. Each level requires 100 proficiency points to advance to the next level."

"Your talent is acceptable," Miejue, who was also tired after a day of guidance, smiled, "Come again tomorrow."

Lin Qing was overjoyed.

He was well aware of the importance of strength.

With Miejue's guidance, he gained 50 proficiency points in just one day. If he practiced for ten to fifteen days, wouldn't that be incredible?

Such an opportunity was hard to come by.

Lin Qing returned to his tent, only to find that Lady Li was waiting for him, her beautiful eyes shimmering with tears, as if she had something troubling her.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing asked.

"It's been five days since we entered this world," Lady Li said, tears streaming down her face, "I don't know where Yanran is."

"I've asked the other sects, and none of them have seen Yanran," Lin Qing frowned.

"Only the Shaolin Sect hasn't appeared, but it's unlikely that Yanran was assigned to Shaolin," Li Meilin said, her eyes filled with sorrow, "Could it be... could it be..."

Lin Qing held her shoulders and shook his head, "Don't think too much. Yanran will be fine. She might have been assigned to Bright Peak."

"Wouldn't that be even worse?" Li Meilin said bitterly, "The siege of Bright Peak is imminent. If Yanran is there, won't she be treated as a member of the Ming Sect and suffer the same fate?"

"I don't know," Lin Qing frowned, gently comforting Lady Li, "Don't worry. I will do my best. Even if Yanran is in the Ming Sect, I will save her!"

Li Meilin looked up.

This was the first time Lin Qing had the opportunity to closely observe this gentle, beautiful, and intelligent woman.

After taking the medicine, her condition had improved, and her complexion was rosy, making her even more beautiful and charming. No wonder the gang leaders and thugs had designs on her.

An intimate atmosphere began to spread between the lone man and woman in the tent.

Li Meilin, preoccupied with thoughts of her daughter, only now realized that she was almost in Lin Qing's embrace. Her face flushed, and she quickly stepped back, "I should go. Otherwise, Ding Minjun will suspect something."

Lin Qing's eyes were filled with the allure of this beautiful woman, and he couldn't resist the urge to "entrust" his twenty-year-old virginity to this charming and seductive young woman. He took a step forward.

He didn't speak, just stared intently at Li Meilin.

Lin Qing was a shut-in.

He didn't know how to date.

He only knew how to push, to force.

In the modern world, Lin Qing was unpopular with women because he had no money, no power, and no charm, making him a complete dating failure. But in this world where strength was paramount, for the lonely and helpless young woman Li Meilin, he was an undeniable presence!

Li Meilin's face turned red, her cheeks flushed as if she were drunk.

She had thought about this moment many times over the past few days.

But she never expected that Lin Qing would want her tonight.

Since entering this space, Li Meilin had realized that her status as a bank executive, her wealthy and prestigious husband, and her once-high social standing were all gone. Nothing could save her.

If she wanted to survive, she had to learn to obey, to obey the strong.

But she didn't want to degrade herself by giving herself and her daughter to brutes like Fang Lingcheng and Xiong Ge.

Lin Qing was someone she could accept.

Lin Qing took another step forward.

His intentions were clear.

In this world, men didn't need diamonds or houses to get women.

They only needed strength, the strength to protect her, and enough supply points.

Li Meilin had seen with her own eyes how a real-world celebrity, after three weeks in this space, had fallen to the point of selling her body for a bottle of wine worth one supply point to the most vulgar demons.

She couldn't retreat any further.

Lin Qing was extremely domineering, wrapping his arms around the young woman's waist.

Thinking of her husband in the real world, Li Meilin sighed.

"I'm sorry to you. Only this man can protect me and Yanran, so I have to..."

She closed her eyes, her passionate and alluring appearance igniting the fire in Lin Qing's belly.

He couldn't hold back and leaned in to kiss her.

Since entering this world, Lin Qing's mindset had changed dramatically.

Since life and death were so close, and death could come at any moment, why not live life to the fullest?

In the real world, Li Meilin was a high-society woman, frequenting upscale clubs, driven around in luxury cars, and dining with celebrities. Her noble, elegant, and graceful demeanor made him drool in secret.

Such a woman, he could only fantasize about.

But in this space, such a noble, charming, and sexy woman was at his mercy, waiting for his affection and protection.

This world, for a man like him, was hell, but also... heaven!

He finally wrapped his arms around Li Meilin's slender waist, a waist so slim it could be encircled with one hand, showing that this beautiful woman knew how to maintain her figure. At 36, she still had a perfect, celebrity-like waist, indicating that her family background was not ordinary.

Their breathing grew heavy, and Li Meilin's sweet, mature womanly scent made Lin Qing's face turn red.

Li Meilin's watery eyes stared at Lin Qing, and she suddenly smiled.

Her face showed a gentle, sisterly expression, as if she were giving her younger brother a life lesson.

Lin Qing's face turned even redder, and he took a deep breath.

His shut-in nature was seen through by this beautiful and seductive woman.

This battle of the sexes was more nerve-wracking than his fight with Yin Yewang.

Li Meilin, somewhat lost in the moment, closed her eyes...

Just as they were about to kiss, a clear and melodious bird call interrupted them.

"Damn!" Lin Qing was furious. He finally had a chance for his first kiss, and this damn bird had to ruin it?

A yellowthroat?
