Do You Want to Hear What You're Saying?

Nearby, a middle-aged man in line for ice cream chuckled and complained, while a little boy perched on his shoulders clapped his hands and babbled, "Young people, you really know how to have fun! You really know how to have fun!"

"Seriously, little girl, wearing a hat and glasses in this heat, aren't you afraid of getting heatstroke? Could she be a celebrity?" Some sharp-eyed people had already noticed.

Even with some disguise, her outstanding appearance still inevitably made her the center of attention when she stood in a crowd.

Ling Mengxue didn't answer, pretending not to hear. With a polite smile, she took the Blood Doll's cold hand and quickly fled the scene.

She was not used to the enthusiastic atmosphere and always felt conflicted and uncomfortable, at least on the public "stage".

This shouldn't be considered double standards, right?

"Master, the tickets, and the remaining money."

"Here's your ice cream. With the rest of the money, let Bai Yun take you to buy whatever you want." Ling Mengxue glanced at the Blood Doll and casually handed over the items.

Blood Doll looked excited, clutching the ticket in her hand, and immediately started munching on her ice cream.

Before going out, Blood Doll wrapped herself up tightly, wearing a pink fisherman's hat, floral brown sunglasses, and a blue silk draped over her shoulders like a curtain, a typical "wandering girl" mixed style, with a bit of flamboyance in her outfit.

As Ling Mengxue walked towards the Ferris wheel, she looked around and suddenly realized that Bai Yun seemed to be missing from the group again.

Damn, we've barely gotten any closer, and they're already gone again?!

[Xi He: Master, the Fate Girls are drawn to each other.]

Just as I was about to ask about the Blood Doll, an untimely voice rang in my mind.

Ling Mengxue paused for two seconds, then decided to deal with the immediate situation first. She pulled the Blood Doll to sit down by a nearby tree. "Doll, where's your sister Bai Yun?"

"Huh?" The Blood Doll looked up without saying a word, blinked, and suddenly fell into a state of confusion.

Well, this kid has something wrong with his head.

"Never mind, did you see which way she went?" Ling Mengxue was speechless and changed the subject.

"Ah! Master, I remember now!"

"Hmm, just say it when you remember."

"My sister said she needs to buy something and has to leave for a while."

"..."

They left without even discussing it with each other?

It would be a miracle if I wasn't worried, okay??

Never mind, Xi He, are you there? What did you mean by what you just said?

[Xi He: Those Destiny Engraver are drawn to each other.]

"??"

Ling Mengxue was a little confused, then she thought of all her past experiences.

It seems... this is what sparrow food looks like!

"So, by saying that now, you're implying that there's Fate Girls nearby?"

[Xi He: Master's understanding is not wrong, but after the Destiny Sign is upgraded to level four, Xi He's expanded abilities have increased a lot. In addition to the Fate Girls, she can also detect Secret Realm players, Awakened Ones, Star Warrior, and non-human creatures. (Note: This is not a passive skill)]

"Now that you understand the key points, please explain how it's triggered," Ling Mengxue asked softly.

[Xi He: Domain Expansion]

"??"

"What the hell?"

"Do you have more details?"

[Xi He: Yes, Master needs to shout "Domain Expansion!" towards the sky! This will trigger the passive skill~ (Note: The skill can cover a range of 500 meters centered on the user.)]

"?!"

"Damn! Is this some kind of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)? Can't you just mutter it silently?" Ling Mengxue sighed and said weakly.

She felt she was already being immature enough; could they please stop making her condition worse?

[Xi He: Master, don't think too highly of everything. Everything comes at a price. At least you have to say it out loud so that the Destiny Sign can sense it. After all, only your voice can trigger me.]

"You win!"

Ling Mengxue slumped her head in frustration; she had grown accustomed to Xi He's unpredictable way of speaking after her upgrade.

Turning around, she looked around. With the current detection capabilities of the Destiny Sign, as long as Bai Yun was still in the amusement park, she should be able to sense everything.

"OK, Domain Expansion!"

Blood Doll: "??"

What is Domain Expansion?

The Blood Doll raised its head, its large eyes filled with even greater doubt, along with deep confusion and bewilderment.

Ling Mengxue didn't have time to pay attention to her; at this moment, she had already pinpointed Bai Yun's location.

However... the aura she detected through her perception of destiny gave her a bad feeling.

That cold and powerful aura should definitely be Bai Yun, but it seems there are three special life forms around this girl.

Ling Mengxue could directly sense the magic and the Star Source, after all, she was very familiar with this thing, but the other three auras were quite special.

No way?

Today's "playing the field" hasn't even begun, and trouble has already come knocking?

Ling Mengxue felt inexplicably frustrated; the "game" wasn't easy, and she shook her head and sighed.

Without much hesitation, she locked onto Bai Yun and the others' direction, quickly grabbed the Blood Doll's hand, and with a Middle Tier "Spatial Blink," the two of them appeared in a small grove not far from the bumper boats in the blink of an eye.

Ling Mengxue pulled the Blood Doll deeper into the amusement park, heading towards their target. She had originally wanted to let the little girl play by herself in the amusement park for a while, but worried that she might be accidentally exposed, so she chose to keep her by her side.

The Blood Doll followed behind her, its head buzzing, but it remained very well-behaved and obedient throughout.

Having served her master for so long, how could she not understand one principle?

If she wants to be taken out to play by her owner, she must always behave herself. She has memorized when to speak and when not to speak!

Finally, sunlight filtered through the gaps in the branches, and Ling Mengxue was able to make out the four figures in the open space ahead.

At this moment, Bai Yun stood there motionless, her gaze icy, with some bright red blood dripping from her fingertips, clearly indicating that something had happened.

As for the three lying on the ground, they all suffered injuries of varying degrees...

Wait a moment!

Holy crap?!

Upon closer inspection, Ling Mengxue was stunned to see several faces on the muddy ground that were both somewhat familiar and unfamiliar.

Fortunately, she managed to calm herself down and avoid revealing anything amiss.

And... she put her mask back on in an instant!

"Splash--"

Noticing the slight rustling of the leaves, Bai Yun and the three "little cuties" turned around almost simultaneously to look at Ling Mengxue and the Blood Doll beside her.

In an instant, their eyes met, and it was unclear who was staring at whom.

"You're here?" Bai Yun paused for a moment when she saw Ling Mengxue, then licked her fresh red lips slightly and grinned mischievously. "Let's make this clear first~ I didn't start it, I was ready to kill someone--"

[img=700,982]htt [img=700,926]htt Chapter Thirty-Eight: Do you want to hear what you're saying?

"Well, you've taught them a lesson, haven't you?" Ling Mengxue said helplessly.

Bai Yun snorted, tilting her head back, looking as proud as a peacock.

She only intended to buy some snacks nearby so she could eat and play later, making herself feel more relaxed and happy. Who would have thought that someone would dare to follow her as she was leaving? Did they have a death wish?

If it weren't for the reservations and Ling Mengxue's instructions, if these were just three humans on Ping'an Street, a casual command from her would have sent countless evil spirits rushing up to tear them to shreds.

After a brief silence, a casually dressed, cocky-looking boy on the ground was the first to stand up, clutching his bleeding arm with a pained expression. "Hey, miss, she's a ghost! Are you guys in cahoots?"

"Yes, we're in cahoots~ Do you want to die again?"

Before Ling Mengxue could speak, Bai Yun immediately jumped out again.

"Damn it! I knew it! Qianqian, can you tell who they are?" the boy said coldly, his lips twitching slightly, barely suppressing his anger.

The girl sitting on the ground was cleaning her wounds, her eyes red and swollen. Her skin was cut and tingled, and it hurt terribly!

Hearing this, she sobbed and looked up in the direction of Ling Mengxue and the other girl. A strange light flashed in her eyes, then her expression faltered slightly, and she murmured, "That... that little girl is also a ghost. I can't tell who the other one is; I don't know her identity..."

"Damn, they can't even detect your talent, Qianqian?"

Gong Qianqian wiped away her tears and nodded. "Anyway... I can't detect her talent even with the Destiny Engraver, so it's possible she's a higher-level being."

"Alright, Little Zhao, if we were really doomed, they would have made their move long ago, and we would be dead by now. There's no need to drag this out any longer. Besides... I've already analyzed the current situation." Lin Xiu chuckled, adjusted his glasses, and sunlight streamed down from above, as if a glimmer of wisdom flashed across his lenses.

He then patted himself to his feet, pulling Gong Qianqian along with him, and pointed at Ling Mengxue, a signature smile playing on his lips, "Miss, you must be the leader of the three of us, right? Just name what you want, and hopefully you'll let us go. But I advise you not to be ungrateful~"

"..."

Ling Mengxue looked at Lin Xiu, unsure of what to say.

Is this what they mean by saying the most cowardly thing in the harshest tone?

It's been years, but it's still you, Lin Xiu!

"I..."

"Pah! I'll f*** you, shut up!!"

Ling Mengxue: "??"

"You're disguising yourself so well. Although I can't tell what kind of person you are, you're definitely not a good person!" Gong Qianqian was the first to not stand it anymore. She puffed out her cheeks, spat, and stood up to start cursing. "I also advise you to be sensible and not force me to kneel down and beg you to let us leave! Once Sister Hua arrives, you won't be able to leave even if you want to!"

Ling Mengxue was speechless. She was innocent too, wasn't she?

And you, Qianqian, your sharp tongue hasn't changed at all! Why do you keep imitating boys by swearing?

You promised yourself you'd be a good lady!

Blood Doll watched from the side, gritting her teeth in hatred, a surge of anger rising within her as well.

You can insult anyone, but you're not allowed to insult her owner!

"Bad woman, bad woman! You're shameless, and your mouth smells so bad, you're absolutely rotten!"

Gong Qianqian blushed, and gritted her teeth, "Who are you talking about? Am I still the Great Demon King Dudu? What nonsense are you spouting, little brat? Believe me or not, I'll spank you until your bottom is a bloody mess!"

"Hey! I'll eat you!!"

The Blood Doll couldn't take it anymore and bared its teeth and claws, preparing to charge forward.

Ling Mengxue sighed, grabbed her by the back of her neck and lifted her up, then turned her head to look at Bai Yun.

Bai Yun remained silent, her face cold and somewhat unpleasant, suggesting she was on the verge of losing control.

As the third-ranked expert in the Ping'an District, above all other ghosts, how could he not have his own arrogance? He still needs to be appeased.

As for how Bai Yun's identity was exposed, Ling Mengxue still didn't know, and she had temporarily forgotten about this question for the time being.

Seeing this Lin Xiu and Little Zhao rushed forward to mediate, but they were also helpless against this young lady.

Sister, don't you even look at the situation now?

It's perfectly reasonable for them to be stronger than you, especially since we're setting aside martial ethics and resorting to... uh... stalking?

If you're in the wrong, just admit it. At least you're still alive, right?

Whatever grievances you have, you can bring them up "later"!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh--"

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing sound rang out, and dozens of leaves poured down like raindrops, approaching from afar, as if even the air itself was being torn apart.

Noticing the sneak attack, Bai Yun found it somewhat amusing. With a disdainful look, she gently raised her hand, and in an instant, more than a dozen fallen leaves not far from her were all pulverized before they could even get close.

At the same moment, Ling Mengxue also activated "Order Space".
