It Was About to Collapse!

"Brother Jiang, weren't you barbecuing? What are you doing here?"

Holding the Autumn Leaf Chicken in his hand, under the moonlight, Zhen Xian accidentally caught sight of Jiang Lin's Supreme Treasure Sword.

emmm...

Well, how should I put it!

No wonder he was able to become Flower-Picking Thief...

"It's nothing. The night is long and empty, I just came out to take a shower." Jiang Lin used his Spiritual Power to dry himself off and changed his clothes.

Even though they were two grown men, walking around with their birds under the moonlight was still rather embarrassing.

"Brother Zhen! Actually, there's something I need your help with." Jiang Lin walked over and put his arm around Zhen Xian's shoulder.

"Brother Jiang, please speak. I will certainly do my utmost!"

"Actually, it's nothing serious. When we get back, Brother Zhen, all you need to do is prove that I went chicken-catching with you, okay?"

"Hmm?" Zhen Xian immediately understood. "Brother Jiang, you didn't offend Zheng Gongzi in any way, did you?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Anyway... it just... it happened pretty suddenly, and it was unintentional on my part..."

Jiang Lin subconsciously clenched his fist in the air.

"If Brother Zhen helps me this time, then I'll tell him a classic folk tale from my hometown another day—'The Da Lang, Time to Take Your Medicine '!"

"Alright! It's a deal! I'll definitely do my best to cooperate with Brother Jiang!"

Although Zhen Xian didn't know the story of "Da Lang, Time to Take Your Medicine," Jiang Lin had already established an image of a "well-read" professor in Zhen Xian's mind over the past year!

Brother Jiang's stories are all fascinating!

"That's excellent."

Jiang Lin felt relieved, and then discussed the details of the conversation with Zhen Xian before the two headed back.

Although he didn't know what Brother Jiang had done to offend Zheng Gongzi, Zhen Xian knew that he just needed to create the impression that Brother Jiang was always catching chickens with him.

When Zhen Xian and Jiang Lin returned to their residence, Zhen Xian was completely stunned, and Jiang Lin's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The thatched huts of Jiang Lin and his two companions were all leveled! A huge crater, hundreds of meters in diameter, was even created! The ground was covered with rubble.

Even the water level in the recreational fishing pond has dropped by half, and dozens of piranhas that looked like they deserved a beating have already died on the ground...

Besides the piranhas, the man-eating Man-eating Flower, Overlord Flower, and other tentacle vines that they had painstakingly planted in their yard had all withered on the ground.

In the center of this ruin, which resembled a rubble field, under the moonlight, the handsome "man" stared intently at them.

No, it should be said that he was staring intently at Jiang Lin...

And Jiang Lin...

"Xiao Gang Ya! What's wrong with you! Xiao Gang Ya! Wake up!"

Before Zhen Xian could react, he saw Brother Jiang pounce on the piranhas... tightly gripping those ugly, but uniquely Dream-Eating Palace fish...

Immediately afterwards, Zhen Xian saw Brother Jiang wipe his eyes with his sleeve, revealing onions underneath...

"Xiao Gang Ya! Who killed you all?! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! It's all my fault for catching chickens, it's all my fault!"

"Xiao Hua! Wake up! Xiao Hua! We should be each other's only support... Xiao Hua..."

Jiang Lin put down the piranha and picked up the imposing-looking Overlord Flower, even though it was already wilted...

"You were eating a Xiao Gang Ya this morning, how could you leave like this! I hate you! I'll tear those who killed you to pieces! Xiao Hua!"

Seeing Jiang Lin's pitiful state, with a piranha in one hand and Overlord Flower in the other, even Zhen Xian felt a lump in his throat.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall the defiant appearance of the Man-eating Flower and Overlord Flower facing the sun in the yard, and the way the Man-eating Flower swayed their leaves after eating the piranhas.

"Brother Jiang, don't worry, flowers can't come back to life, and neither can fish... We will definitely find the real culprit!"

"Xiao Hua! Xiao Gang Ya! I'm so sorry!!!"

Following Zhen Xian's words, Jiang Lin cried out again in grief, heartbroken.

Meanwhile, Tian Fang was squinting as she watched Jiang Lin's every move.

She began to doubt her own judgment.

Was the person who attacked him really Jiang Dapao? But he seemed completely unaware of it.

Walking up to Jiang Lin, Tian Fang quietly sniffed him, finding no trace of the medicinal liquid she had used during her bath.

You should know that the medicinal fragrance of that liquid can linger for three days and three nights, so it definitely can't be washed off.

However, what Tian Fang didn't know was that although Jiang Lin Jiang Lin had given away his System Brand Soap, he could still buy shower gel from the system shop...

"Zheng! Who is the murderer? What happened?! Brother Zhen and I were just out looking for... no, we were just catching chickens, how could this happen?!"

Jiang Lin wiped away his tears and stood up, his tone filled with sorrow, anger, and a hint of despair.

At this moment, Zhen Xian also shook his head with a sigh.

And when he saw that most of the various drawings of his wife were damaged, he became even more furious:

"This is absolutely outrageous! They specifically chose to attack us when we weren't around! Do they think we're defenseless?!"

Faced with their questioning, Tian Fang was momentarily embarrassed, but even so, she still proudly raised her head. "I, Tian Fang, will never admit my mistakes!"

"I was washing my hands in my room when a man rushed over, and I started fighting with him! The fight only affected a small area."

Anyway, you two men, stop crying! I'll make it up to you!

After saying that, Tian Fang tossed two Nascent Soul Realm Demon Core to them, then turned and left. Using magic Tian Fang, he instantly gathered the scattered straw, built three small huts, and then went into his own room.

Seeing that Tian Fang remained motionless in her room, Jiang Lin and Zhen Xian both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Jiang, what exactly did you do..." Zhen Xian transmitted his thoughts, wiping away cold sweat. He had truly felt the intense and undisguised killing intent that Young Master Zheng had towards Brother Jiang.

Well...

Jiang Lin silently placed the Demon Core into his Storage Bag, intending to use it as a medicinal ingredient for Niannian later.

Looking up, Jiang Lin gazed at the large, round moon above that Small World, which seemed within reach—and there were two of them!

"It's hard to say more, but... it's quite big."

Zhen Xian: "???"

Just as Zhen Xian was completely bewildered and didn't know what Jiang Lin was talking about...

Suddenly, the mountains and rivers turned upside down, and the heavens and earth trembled!

All the cultivators in the Dream-Eating Palace opened their eyes and focused their attention!

Two years are almost up!

The Dream-Eating Palace is collapsing!
