Treasure

Just as Di Qiu'er and Dong Qianqiu were playing chess, Chen Ming placed a pot of double-skin milk on the table.

"Alright, this is tonight's late-night snack. After we finish eating, it'll be about time for bed."

Hearing Chen Ming's words, Di Qiu'er launched herself toward the table like a spring, only to be held back by one of Chen Ming's hands.

"Big brother, why are you stopping me?"

"What's the rush? I'll serve it."

Helpless, Di Qiu'er had no choice but to sit down obediently, while Dong Qianqiu tidied up the chess set and walked over gracefully to take her seat.

Chen Ming divided the pot of double-skin milk into three portions. One portion took up half the pot—the largest share—since Di Qiu'er had the biggest appetite and naturally needed the most.

Afterward, Chen Ming and Dong Qianqiu each took a quarter, splitting the remaining half between them.

"It's delicious. The texture is delicate, just like cream; it melts the moment it touches your tongue."

Dong Qianqiu also loved these desserts very much. Even she hadn't noticed that ever since she started staying by Chen Ming's side, she had been eating exceptionally well.

Di Qiu'er finished hers quickly and stared longingly at the others, but Chen Ming ignored her completely. He had only made that much, so she would just have to watch.

Once the late-night snack was finished, it was time to rest. The three of them went to bed one after another. Di Qiu'er flopped onto her bed and fell asleep instantly; she was the type to sleep right after a full meal.

Chen Ming and Dong Qianqiu sat together to cultivate. Although the speed of cultivation was quite average and not as fast as killing monsters, since Dong Qianqiu was cultivating, he had to set a good example.

The next day.

Chen Ming obtained a map of a Woodland Mansion from a cartographer and immediately prepared to take Dong Qianqiu and Di Qiu'er to farm for a Totem of Undying.

"Today, we're going to the Woodland Mansion to farm for a Totem of Undying."

"A Totem of Undying? What kind of thing is that?"

Hearing about something new, Dong Qianqiu asked like a curious child, and Chen Ming explained it to her.

"It's an item that can save your life—a treasure that can block a fatal blow for you."

"That really is a good item. So, how do we farm it?"

"It's simple, just kill monsters. And remember to bring weapons with Looting III."

As he spoke, Chen Ming took out the weapons he had prepared in advance, all of which were enchanted with Looting III.

After the two girls took their Diamond Swords, Chen Ming opened the map to confirm the direction, then looked at Dong Qianqiu and said:

"You can't fly, so I'll carry you. Get on my back."

"Oh, okay."

Dong Qianqiu carefully climbed onto Chen Ming's back and pressed herself against his broad shoulders. Immediately after, Chen Ming tossed a few bottles of Potion of Swiftness to Di Qiu'er, then drank a bottle of Swiftness V himself.

A pair of golden dragon wings unfurled from behind the two of them. Chen Ming reached one hand behind his back to support Dong Qianqiu's bottom while holding the map in the other, instantly transforming into a streak of golden light as he took off.

Dong Qianqiu felt a powerful gale hit her, and her ears were filled with the sound of cold, whistling wind.

The scenery around them blurred as it flew backward. She wrapped her arms tightly around Chen Ming's neck and wound her legs around his waist, terrified that she might fall off and turn into shark paste.

Fortunately, the hand Chen Ming used to support her bottom provided a sense of security. Although the position was a bit embarrassing, she was relieved that Chen Ming wasn't acting inappropriately; he was simply holding her steady.

Two golden meteors flashed rapidly across the sky: Chen Ming, carrying Dong Qianqiu, and Di Qiu'er.

The potions were brewed using an Advanced Brewing Stand, which was why the Potion of Swiftness could exceed level two and reach level five, with a long duration of thirty minutes per bottle.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them crossed plains, mountains, dark forests, and oceans. Suddenly, Di Qiu'er noticed a Shipwreck below and immediately called out:

"There's a Shipwreck down there, should we loot it?"

"Since we're already here."

The two of them stopped. Chen Ming stood on the surface of the water while Di Qiu'er dove down to find the treasure chest.

"Are you okay?"

Chen Ming first put away the map and used both hands to support Dong Qianqiu's bottom as he asked:

"I... I'm okay..."

Dong Qianqiu replied with a pale face. Seeing this, Chen Ming reflected on whether he had been flying too fast.

With the boost from the Swiftness V potion, his speed was comparable to a Spirit Emperor, so it was indeed a bit fast. It was no wonder Dong Qianqiu was struggling to hold on.

"Let's take a break, then."

Chen Ming said, flying slowly toward a nearby beach. He took out a Plank Block and placed it down, then laid a Wool Carpet on top of it.

Only then did he set Dong Qianqiu down to rest. Dong Qianqiu took a few deep breaths to steady herself. Looking at the nearby Spruce Forest and the ocean, she found that she quite liked this primitive environment.

Soon, Di Qiu'er flew over from the distance and landed, holding a map.

"There were only a few Emeralds, Diamonds, and some blind boxes inside. Then I opened another Treasure Map, and it seems to be right under where you two are sitting."

Di Qiu'er picked up the map, looked at it, and pointed to the ground beneath where Chen Ming and Dong Qianqiu were sitting.

"Is it that coincidental? Or has your luck started to kick in, Qianqiu?"

Hearing this, Chen Ming was stunned. Was it really that coincidental? Dong Qianqiu was also taken aback; she subconsciously looked down and then stood up.

"Treasure? Is it right under where I was sitting?"

"Right, let's dig."

"Here are the shovels."

Chen Ming put down the crafting table, then made three iron shovels and tossed them to Dong Qianqiu and Di Qiu'er. After catching them, the two girls immediately started digging.

In less than ten seconds, a chest came into view, and Dong Qianqiu was immediately surprised.

"There really is one!"

"Open it and see what's inside. My luck is terrible, so I won't be the one to open it."

Chen Ming also came up behind Dong Qianqiu to peek at the treasure chest. Hearing this, Dong Qianqiu stepped aside and said:

"Sister Qiu'er has the best luck, you should open it, Sister Qiu'er."

"Alright, watch me!"

Di Qiu'er stepped forward without hesitation. Under the watchful eyes of Chen Ming and Dong Qianqiu, she leaned down slightly and opened the treasure chest.

She then pulled out five diamonds, eight gold ingots, one Heart of the Ocean, and five TNT, followed by several rare metals from the Douluo Continent.

There were also a few spirit herbs around a thousand years old, and... a blue-gold pair of eight wings, as well as a blue-gold translucent trident gemstone.

Meanwhile, in another part of the space-time turbulence, the God Realm, formed by the fusion of seven great God Realms, flew out of a black hole and was struggling within the turbulence.

A figure with long blue hair, clad in blue-gold armor, came into view, currently maneuvering the God Realm Hub to fly out of the space-time turbulence.

I'm about to break out of the space-time turbulence. I wonder how my ten-thousand-year plan is going, whether Father and Mother have fully taken control of the Douluo Continent, and if Wulin has fully mastered the power of the Golden Dragon King.

Tang San thought about the progress of his ten-thousand-year plan, but just then, a strong sense of detachment washed over him. Tang San's expression changed, and though he tried to resist, he was powerless to do so.

"My Divinity and divine artifacts!"

As Tang San let out a roar, the Sea God Divinity and the Sea God Eight Wings were stripped away simultaneously. Seeing this, Tang San's eyes turned bloodshot, and he gasped like an ox, bellowing:

"Who dares to steal my God King Divinity and divine artifacts! You have already chosen the path of death!"

ps: The first update for March 3rd, two thousand words.

ps: The Douluo III book next door has flopped; it didn't meet the signing standards. Plus, I'm about to return to school, so I plan to focus on updating this one for now. I'll put the other one aside for the time being.
