208: Part 2

Song Qi whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Seeing that they weren’t leaving anytime soon, Cheng Tianbi also sat down, and everyone followed suit.

Zhuang Yao asked, “How do you feel during this period? The speed of my cultivation is unbelievably fast. It’s no wonder this is Qinghai.”

Cheng Tianbi nodded. “I feel the same. I think I can break through to the third stage in less than two months. That’s eight or nine months earlier than I originally predicted in Beijing.”

Everyone agreed. The high efficiency of cultivation in Qinghai pleasantly surprised them. It’s no wonder why mutants were risking their lives to go to Golmud.

Cheng Tianbi said, “I plan to go to Golmud.”

Cong Xia was puzzled. “Tianbi? Why”

Song Qi immediately relented and replied, “Fine.”

Cong Xia was actually quite curious and wanted to go as well, but he knew he would be a burden, so he didn’t say anything.

“Prince, will you take me with you?” Xiao Zhou blinked his fist-sized bird eyes, looking earnestly at Yao Qianjiang.

Yao Qianjiang gently patted his head and replied, “Okay.”

Song Qi added, “Hey, I can’t guarantee the safety of your bird. Xiao Wu has been in and out with me countless times, very experienced. Be clever when the time comes. If you get eaten, I won’t be responsible.”

Xiao Zhou protested, “I’m not worse than a parrot bird.”

Xiao Wu screeched and rushed over, its massive and sturdy beak pecking at Xiao Zhou. “You’re the parrot bird. Your whole family are parrot birds.”

Xiao Zhou flapped his wings and slapped it in return, and the two birds started fighting, the colorful feathers flew around the room.

Yao Qianjiang sighed, “Xiao Zhou, you’re a human, don’t lower yourself to the level of birds…”

The two birds ignored him and flew out of the room, continuing their battle in the sky.

Cong Xia crouched on the floor, picking up their fallen feathers. Each feather was as long as a child’s forearm, vivid and beautiful. He praised, “Wow, they’re beautiful.”

Song Qi asked, “Why are you picking those up?”

Cong Xia smiled and replied, “Just idle, making a necklace for Abu.”

Zhuang Yao gave him a disapproving look. “Do you ever have idle moments? I have a pile of tasks waiting for you.”

Cong Xia pleaded, “I was just talking casually. Please don’t take it to heart. Can I scratch my itch, little master?”

Yao Qianjiang stood up and walked over, elegant and smiling. “Let me help you.”

“Don’t bother, Prince…”

“Don’t be so polite.” Yao Qianjiang picked up a feather and gently brushed it against Cong Xia’s face, squinting at him.

Cong Xia felt a bit awkward and discreetly moved to the side.

Cheng Tianbi glared at Yao Qianjiang fiercely but refrained from making a scene. Yao Qianjiang pretended not to notice and cheerfully crouched down to pick up feathers, smiling as if nothing had happened. If the people in the capital knew that Prince Yao, who was above ten thousand, would pick up such useless things, their eyes would probably pop out.

Cheng Tianbi, feeling a bit annoyed, summoned a gust of wind inside the room, causing the feathers to fly everywhere along with dust, choking everyone’s eyes.

Song Qi, coughing and complaining, said, “Damn, bro, do you lack virtue or something?”

Cheng Tianbi coldly snorted, showing no remorse at all, and sat down to continue his cultivation.

After resting for two hours, it was pitch black outside. The surroundings were eerily silent when suddenly, a clear, cool female voice echoed from nearby, “Song Qi, you bastard, get out here!”

Song Qi was startled, shivering, and scrambled up from the ground. He rushed towards the window.

A slender figure flashed into the room and lunged at Song Qi, shouting, “You dare to run!”

Song Qi, realizing he had no chance to escape, reluctantly turned back and watched the newcomer with a headache.

Mr. Sun, unsurprised, looked at her and said, “Luomeng?”

Everyone turned their attention to the newcomer, a young girl with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite cute despite her petite stature. She exuded a strong presence, and although she was small, she had no shortage of confidence. She glanced at Mr. Sun and said, “Hello, Mr. Sun,” then grabbed Song Qi’s clothes and pulled him back, demanding, “Tell me, why did you leave me and run away?”

Song Qi cautiously replied, “I didn’t run away. It’s… Mr. Sun had something to discuss with me, so I went to Guangming City. Right, Mr. Sun?”

Mr. Sun smiled, not confirming or denying it.

While Xiao Wu was sleeping nearby, he suddenly woke up upon seeing Luomeng and screamed, “Ah, the demoness is here, she’s here!”

Song Qi was almost scared out of his wits.

Luomeng was fuming, and her head seemed to emit steam. She fiercely kicked Song Qi, saying, “You damn scoundrel! I’m going to roast you!”

“Wait, wait, wait, this bird’s mouth is nasty. Why do you care about me?”

“Mr. Sun said that Xiao Wu learned it all from you!” Luomeng held out her palm, and it glowed with fiery red. She raised her hand and was about to slap Song Qi.

People around Song Qi felt an unusual smell in the air and covered their mouths and noses, but they still inhaled some of it, making their eyes teary.

Cong Xia thought, “Is this the little chili (pepper) girl that Mr. Sun mentioned? Her temperament matches her abilities.”

Mr. Sun chuckled, “Oh dear, that’s enough, Luomeng. It’s true that I asked Song Qi to come back to help. Didn’t you hear that we went to Qinghai Lake?”

Song Qi hastily pleaded, “Yes, yes, the most beautiful woman in the universe, please stop using your powers.”

Luomeng finally lowered her hand and glared at Song Qi angrily. It seemed like she just noticed the other people in the room. She rubbed her hands awkwardly and said, “Sorry, everyone. Uh, I’m Zhao Luomeng. Who are you guys?”

Mr. Sun introduced everyone, and then he said, “You might have already guessed it, she’s the fiery-tempered girl I mentioned. She’s one of the two women who have reached the third level among high-level mutants in Qinghai.”

“Is the other one Jacqueline?”

Mr. Sun shook his head, “No, it’s not her. Jacqueline came to Qinghai not long ago, so she’s not as powerful.”

Zhao Luomeng blinked and said, “Jacqueline? That Russian beauty, right? I ran into her in Golmud.”

“Oh, where in Golmud?”

“A few days ago, right in the city center. She rented a house there and seems to be studying plants. She’s been in Golmud for a while now.”

Song Qi was puzzled, “Staying in a house in the city center? Hasn’t she been attacked?”

“I found it strange too, but she seems to be doing just fine.”

Zhuang Yao said, “She’s a wood naturalist evolutionist. She can control plants and probably uses them to camouflage herself. It’s not surprising that she’s unharmed.”

Zhao Luomeng nodded, “Oh, she’s really pretty. But her personality… Well, I don’t understand foreigners, but she’s an interesting person, and she can really hold her liquor.”

Hold her liquor? Cong Xia thought that didn’t quite match the elegant and dignified image of the “goddess” in the photo.

Zhao Luomeng patted her chest proudly, “By the way, you can call me Luomeng or Little Chili or Pepper. And this idiot is my boyfriend. If you ever see him being overly friendly with other women, be sure to let me know.”

Song Qi stood there like a frostbitten eggplant.

Mr. Sun chuckled and said, “Since you’re back, why don’t you come with us to return to Xining? There’s an important gathering next month, and you can join us.”

Luomeng was curious, “What kind of gathering is it?”

“We’ll discuss it on the way…”

They set off to return to Xining.

After Mr. Sun arrived in the City of Light, he didn’t even take a break. He immediately went to the Bright Mansion to discuss the situation with Rong Lan. The others also returned to their base and recounted the events to those who remained.

There was still a little over half a month left until the fifteenth of next month. They stayed this long to ensure that they could notify as many high-level mutants as possible, especially those who had reached the Third Stage and were familiar with the area around Golmud.

When Shen Changze and Wu Yu heard that they were going to Golmud for training, they readily agreed. They had actually been planning this for a while. However, their group consisted of over forty people, so going alone wasn’t an option. Tang Tingzhi and Zhuang Yao’s arrangement was ideal.

Zhuang Yao said, “The day after tomorrow, you’ll follow Song Qi to Golmud. Remember, focus on training and assessing the situation. Try to avoid conflicts with any mutant creatures or plants, and listen to Song Qi once inside. He’s more familiar with the area.”

All four of them nodded.

Tang Tingzhi added, “Before we officially attack Golmud, we need to ensure that both Cheng Tianbi and Shen Changze reach the Third Stage.”

Tang Yanqiu said, “I’ll go too. My timing is similar to Cheng Tianbi’s.”

Liu Fengyu said, “Then I…”

“You can’t,” Cheng Tianbi, Tang Yanqiu, and Zhuang Yao all said in unison.

Liu Fengyu’s eyes widened. “What do you mean?”

Tang Yanqiu didn’t want to say it, Cheng Tianbi bluntly said, “You can’t protect yourself. If you go, you’ll be a liability.”

Liu Fengyu clicked his tongue. “Where did you see that I can’t protect myself? My abilities…”

Song Qi also added, “Your abilities are not weak, but you can’t fly, and Golmud is extremely dangerous. It’s really not suitable for you.”

Liu Fengyu glanced at Zhao Luomeng. “She can’t fly either.”

Zhao Luomeng pointed at Song Qi. “He carries me while flying. Superstar, I only weigh 84 pounds.”

Liu Fengyu looked at Tang Yanqiu, then thought about his own weight, and reluctantly gave up. He shook his head. “Fine, I won’t go.”

Tang Yanqiu said, “When I get stronger, I’ll definitely take you with me.”

Liu Fengyu chuckled and patted Tang Yanqiu’s face. “Oh, why are you suddenly saying nice things? You’re making progress.”

Tang Yanqiu’s face turned a bit red, not quite understanding what nice things he had said.

Zhuang Yao said, “Get ready and bring some food with you. You should be back by the thirteenth of next month at the latest.”

“Alright.”

In the evening, while resting, Cong Xia sat cross-legged on the bed, weaving a necklace. Cheng Tianbi finished taking a shower and sat down beside him. “You really enjoy weaving, huh?”

Cong Xia smiled and replied, “Just finding something I like to do for myself.”

“After I leave, try to stay indoors as much as possible and never go out alone.”

“Don’t worry.” Cong Xia set aside what he was holding and looked at Cheng Tianbi. “I’m more concerned about you. I’ll be in the City of Light, which should be the safest place in all of Qinghai, while you’re going to the most dangerous place in Qinghai, and I won’t even be able to see you.”

“It’s okay. The people going with me are all strong. It shouldn’t be too difficult for us to get out.”

Cong Xia nodded and said, “You’re right. With your group going in, it’s probably the monsters that will have the bad luck.”

Cheng Tianbi ruffled his hair. “So, don’t worry.”

Cong Xia hugged his waist and pushed him down onto the bed, whispering, “When you come back, let me see your complete elemental power. All those ‘Bright Masters’ and ‘Dark Masters’—in my eyes, you’re the strongest.”

Cheng Tianbi gazed into his eyes. “I am the strongest because I have you.”

Cong Xia smiled and Cheng Tianbi lowered his head to kiss Cong Xia’s lips.

Cheng Tianbi and his team, led by Song Qi, departed. They carried not only the responsibility of reaching the Third Stage but also a pile of questions from Tang Tingzhi and Zhuang Yao. In the next half-month, they would undergo the most rigorous training in history, but all they had in their eyes was anticipation, not fear.

The remaining people also seized every moment to train. No one wanted to become a burden on the battlefield, and everyone aimed to be among those who would leave Qinghai alive!
