Chapter 136 Dark Elf 5
Chapter 136 Dark Elf 5
"Xuanyuan, I knew you were amazing. By the way, Chloe actually has twin sisters? Do they really look exactly alike?" Ling'an asked, a mix of curiosity and envy.
In her opinion, any woman would be moved by a handsome man like Xuanyuan Wu.
Xuanyuan Wu chuckled, "They look the same, but their temperaments are different. This Miss Krina is much easier to talk to."
"I hope so," Ling An muttered, and then the others kept glancing towards the door.
Just as the group was getting a little impatient, a frail figure finally emerged from the doorway.
The group's eyes lit up as they realized that the person in front of them looked just like Chloe, but her demeanor was much gentler.
But his expression remained cold.
Xuanyuan Wu stepped forward and politely said, "Miss Krina, we have been waiting for you for a long time. May we depart now? Where is Lord Chloe?"
You should know that when Krina came, she promised to persuade Chloe to go with her.
Upon hearing this, Krina's eyes remained cold, showing no sign of guilt. She shook her head gently and confidently, "I've changed my mind. I won't go with you, no matter what."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were filled with rage.
Ling An couldn't help but exclaim, "How could you do this? You can't keep your promises; the gods will laugh at you!"
Krina sneered, "I only said it verbally, I didn't make any pact with you. Even if the gods are angry, they will forgive my impulsiveness. Anyway, I'm not going, so you'd better leave now. My sister doesn't welcome you either!"
Has this attitude changed so quickly in such a short time?
Xuanyuan Wu frowned slightly, somewhat incredulous. He hadn't expected Krina to change her mind so quickly and so resolutely.
At this moment, Will, who had been silent all along, suddenly stepped forward. “Miss Krina, we didn’t really want to bother you, but as far as I know, you have been in poor health for many years and need a miraculous medicine to recover. And Purple Bamboo… is just the right medicine to heal you!”
He chuckled and said confidently, "As twin sisters, the elder sister is a city lord who can stand on her own, but you... are you willing to accept this? If you don't go, I'm afraid you'll never be able to surpass your sister Chloe!"
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit; this is truly the case.
However, if it were the old Krina, she might have agreed to go immediately after hearing this. But after meeting Qingyu and learning about her "tragic background," Krina only hesitated for a moment before quickly becoming resolute. "You all go. I am one with my sister. You don't need to sow discord. I will not go!"
After saying that, he turned and went into the house, leaving Xuan Yuanwu and the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What do we do now? Why is this person so difficult to deal with?" Michael muttered to himself, unable to help but complain, "It's like we've offended them. Women really are troublesome creatures."
“Hey—don’t generalize, I’m easy to talk to!” Ling’an retorted, earning Michael a nonchalant smile in return.
Xuanyuan Wu, standing to the side, was engrossed in the words Michael had just spoken—
"Offended them?"
He suddenly remembered the beautiful female voice he had heard, and the so-called "genocide" he had no recollection of.
It must be related to that person!
Even knowing this, Xuan Yuanwu was still helpless. In the end, he sighed deeply and could only say, "We have to put the matter of Zizhu aside for now. Fortunately, Wei Duo's poison won't relapse so quickly. Let's go find the remaining spiritual essence first!"
With no other choice, the group could only nod in agreement. Will felt guilty but also relieved.
Could it be considered that he helped that beauty? Even though he didn't even know who she was.
Seeing the group leave, Qingyu felt relieved after watching the video.
But since they're setting off, I naturally have to follow.
but……
These two sisters are not to be fooled!
"Qingyu, what else do you like? We can get it for you!" The two sisters smiled and surrounded the beauty in front of them, their eyes filled with infatuation.
Qingyu's eyes gleamed with mischief, and a hint of shyness appeared on her beautiful face. "I want to rest for a bit."
Chloe smiled and said, "Then you rest first, we'll come and call you in a bit."
He then pulled his younger sister, who still wanted to talk, away and considerately closed the door.
Krina: "...?" This seems to be her room?
After the two left, Qingyu did not leave immediately. Krina's cultivation was not deep, but Chloe was not easy to fool. After thinking for a while, Qingyu still made a substitute doll and placed it in the room.
With her current powerful cultivation, these spells were simple for her. After setting everything up, she took out the system's transformation device and swaggered into the city, heading in the next direction for Xuan Yuanwu and the others—
Underwater city.
------------
Xuan Yuanwu and his companions all looked unusually grim throughout the journey. They didn't even dare to reply to Wei Duo's letter, remaining silent as they quickened their pace toward the next destination.
Just as they left the City of Beauties, they heard that the city had suddenly begun checking people coming and going, as if they were looking for something.
"Could they have gone back?" Ling An snorted, somewhat disdainfully, "But it's no use changing your mind now, we're not going back."
However, no one else agreed with her. Everyone knew that it was impossible, and Ling'an's words were just an expression of her dissatisfaction.
Having failed to obtain the Purple Bamboo, Xuan Yuanwu once again realized his own weakness. He had always thought of himself as the chosen one of heaven, the protagonist, and someone everyone would look up to.
His long period of success made him forget that he was now just one of the masses, only luckier than others.
This made him resentful.
Xuanyuan Wu was eager to improve himself, and each time he found a new spiritual element, he could gain powerful strength from it. Therefore, he basically traveled through the night. When the group arrived at the underwater city, everyone's face showed unconcealable exhaustion.
Only Qingyu followed leisurely behind. She was a dark elf with great strength, and she could basically fly or teleport. Occasionally, she could even turn into a flower petal and land on Will's shoulder, which was both easy and allowed her to gather information.
Besides this Will...
I have a feeling that he has discovered something, and he keeps watering Qingyu's plants.
"arrive!"
With a joyful exclamation, the group eagerly entered the city. However, once inside, they found it in ruins. The people's eyes were dull and lifeless. When they saw Xuan Yuanwu and his companions, their eyes lit up for a moment, then quickly dimmed again, and they lowered their heads and went about their business in silence.
Xuanyuan Wu's expression darkened; he had a feeling something was wrong.
Before they came, they had inquired about the situation. The underwater city was one of the major cities. It was close to the sea and had abundant aquatic resources. While it wasn't exactly a wealthy place, it always had a unique charm. How could it have turned out like this?
"Is this really an underwater city? It looks like a ruined city..." Ling An approached Xuan Yuanwu fearfully and rubbed her arms.
Will discreetly protected the petals on his shoulder, carefully removing them and holding them in his palm before saying, "Let's go ask about the situation first."
So the group found a vendor and asked him what was going on.
The vendor glanced at the group of people before saying weakly, "The sacred Coral Heart of the Underwater City has been stolen. It is the treasure that sustains our Underwater City. Without it, the seawater has become murky, crops can hardly grow, and everyone is on the verge of starvation."
Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan Wu subconsciously felt that this might be an opportunity to gain great power. If he could find the Coral Heart, he might reap huge rewards.
He immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, village chief, we will help you search."
Although everyone was exhausted, they all responded enthusiastically. After all, they had encountered many things along the way, and each one was a test.
Only Qingyu remained thoughtful to the side. She had the innate advantage of being familiar with the plot, and although the plot mentioned that the underwater city was in crisis, Qingyu still felt that something was wrong.
Why did something happen as soon as the main characters arrived?
She didn't believe there wasn't a hand pushing things from behind.
Her first thought was the Lord of Darkness, the greatest evil villain in the entire story. Even though he only appeared at the very end, before that, who wouldn't be afraid of his name?
Is it possible that the Lord of Darkness actually knew about Xuanyuan Wu's existence all along?
The idea flashed through Qingyu's mind, but she didn't think about it too much and decided to continue to observe the situation.
