19. Entering the Game

That night, Cang Lingshan did nothing but stay with Ji Ran in the Second Floor pavilion of the Cui Zhu Pavilion for a long time.

It was a rare treat to see Ji Ran again, and I wanted to spend more time with her.

I also want to ask the all-knowing Ji Ran for help, "Sister Ji Ran, you should know Xia Yuxi, right?"

"She was kidnapped by bad guys, and I went to rescue her... but I couldn't."

"I can't find her no matter what I do. What do you think I should do now?"

Ji Ran: "She's fine, she's already back at school."

Cang Lingshan was stunned upon hearing this, completely unexpected. "What, they've already gone back to school?"

"Sister Ji Ran, you actually helped her secretly, didn't you!"

"As expected, Sister Ji Ran has been paying attention all along..."

You're paying attention to Yimo, right?

Cang Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if a huge weight had been lifted from her heart. She exclaimed with relief, "That's wonderful!"

"I'm going back to Nanqi Province tomorrow to find Yimo!"

Haha! Xia Yuxi is safe now, so I can supervise Yimo's cross-dressing livestream!

Cang Lingshan was already incredibly excited at the thought of Yimo dressed up beautifully in the women's clothing she had chosen, and energetically doing a live stream in front of her.

This is practically a personal live stream!

If I hadn't wanted to spend some time with Ji Ran first, I would have gone back right now.

Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Ji Ran immediately poured cold water on Cang Lingshan's enthusiasm.

Ji Ran: "Your father is in the Shangjing, and he misses you."

"Let's meet tomorrow night."

Cang Lingshan: "Uh... can I not see him?"

"That old fogey of a man loves to lecture, it's so annoying!"

That's one aspect. On the other hand, Cang Lingshan and her father have always been at odds.

His own father had countless women outside the marriage, and he probably couldn't even remember all the illegitimate children he had.

Cang Lingshan was annoyed by him, really annoyed.

Ji Ran: "Bring Tong Muxue along, as the future head of the Leng Family."

"Butler Yu Ling will go along."

Cang Lingshan: "Wait, Sister Ji Ran, what did you say?"

"Tong Muxue? The head of the Leng Family???"

Ji Ran: "Mm."

After hearing Ji Ran confirm again, Cang Lingshan couldn't help but tug at the end of her hair, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Ji Ran is trying to create momentum for Tong Muxue!

What was her purpose in doing this?

Does he dislike showing his face, so is he planning to cultivate someone to oversee the Leng Family?

Why do I feel like I've fallen out of favor...?

Moreover, Tong Muxue is a rival in love!

Cang Lingshan: "Um... I think..."

Ji Ran: "You went too far with your actions earlier."

"It's already... someone's noticed it."

"I'll go visit some elderly people in Shangjing."

Cang Lingshan: "After all... Yimo is in trouble..."

"Indeed, I know I've gone too far."

"..." Feeling guilty.

"Okay! I'll go!"

With things having come to this point, Cang Lingshan had no choice but to accept it.

I'm thinking of finishing things Shangjing as soon as possible, and then rushing back to Yimo's side!

The next day, at the Demon City Police Headquarters.

Suger was invited over for tea yesterday, mainly to inquire about the situation with his subordinates, such as Giant Pincer.

They were kept there for more than a day before they were released.

The person who came to pick him up was a very handsome young boy with blond hair.

Wearing a shirt and overalls, and holding a thick, black book with an antique and exquisite cover, he gives off the feeling of a magic book from a movie.

Antu is a member of the Heavenly Punishment Inner, belonging to Heavenly Punishment Team 3 along with Suger. He is responsible for intelligence and planning within the team.

Antu took a bite of a piece of chocolate and said, "The Team Ranking Battle is coming up soon, so don't worry about what the others are doing."

"Information indicates that the 'Asylum' will attempt to stop us."

"Our Team 3, no matter which team from 'The Asylum' we encounter, have less than a 1% chance of survival; there's a 50% chance more than half will die."

"Don't do anything else right now."

Suger's expression remained normal as he calmly replied, "Okay."

"Encountering a 'Asylum' has made me so excited that I can't sleep."

"But give me all of Yimo's information."

"I've discovered an interesting patient."

Antu ate a large piece of chocolate, walked to the trash can, threw the wrapper in, then took another piece of chocolate out of his backpack, shook his head, and said, "You're the Sick one."

"Honestly, I've always thought you'd be better suited for the 'Asylum,' you'd get along better with those Madman."

"I'll give you the data after the Team Ranking Battle are over."

"However, I'm getting a little tired of the pretty ladies you sent me before."

You need to get me a prettier, better older sister.

Suger nodded upon hearing this. "No problem."

"Furthermore, I think you..."

Antu suddenly became inexplicably irritable, his eyes reddening, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "I'm not sick! I'm not sick!!!"

Suger looked at Antu, stroked his chin, and said, "I just wanted to say that you should eat less sweets; they're bad for your health."

Upon hearing this, Antu's expression calmed down. He stared at the chocolate in his hand and said indifferently, "No need, it's none of your business."

Let's return to the perspective of Yimo.

Yimo had already received Shi Xinglan's photos.

In the Black Night, on the path in the middle of the Rice Paddies, Xia Yuxi's face was dirty, but she was forcing a smile, which reassured Yimo a lot.

In addition, there are two fingers in the corner of the photo, pretending to make Scissor-Finger, but they are not fully captured in the picture.

Yimo remembered that after the second Game, when she saw the comments on Dieyu's Weibo post, the profile picture of the netizen "Little Green No. 22" also had a half-taken Scissor-Finger in the corner of the photo. She guessed that it was probably a photo-taking habit that the Village Chief's Little Sister liked.

When Cang Lingshan came before, Yimo deliberately concealed this matter, pretending to be worried.

Yimo has already made contact with Tong Muxue.

And we already had a video chat last night.

Knowing that Tong Muxue was safe put Yimo at ease.

However, when asked where she was and what she was doing, Tong Muxue gave a very cryptic answer.

Tong Muxue: Mr. Yimo, in order to become a girlfriend more worthy of you, I'm going to pursue further studies.

Tong Muxue: For some reasons, I can't be by your side for the time being, but I will finish my studies as soon as possible, become a real little rich woman, and come to bring you back!

Yimo: "Little Rich Woman" is just a joke, don't take it seriously.

Yimo: If you feel threatened, just blink. Don't panic, I'll find a way to save you!

Yimo: Trust your Boyfriend's abilities, he'll smash those bad guys' heads in! (doge emoji)

Dingling--!

Tong Muxue sent me a video directly.

She stood outside an ancient-style building, dressed very formally, and winked mischievously.

Dingling--!

Then a second video was sent, secretly filmed. Cang Lingshan looked miserable and resentful, her head down, muttering something to herself.

After Yimo, Yimo felt much more at ease.

Although I don't know what Tong Muxue and Cang Lingshan went to do.

But it seems that nothing is wrong.

However, Yimo was Tong Muxue's Boyfriend, he still really wanted to know where Tong Muxue was.

I took a screenshot of the building behind Tong Muxue in the video, and then tried to search for it online using the image.

But before the search results appeared, the Death Game notification arrived.

Mizuhoshi: Shibo Otaku, no need to look further, he's from the Shangjing.
