Chapter 173: Chapter 173: The Beast King Of The Dark Sky Noon of the 16th.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Ling Yi and Lin Shurou return to their living room to rest.

After the Bell of Truth had found out Xia Wanqing’s true thoughts, Lin Shurou had talked to her about moving in.

Ling Yi didn’t know what they were discussing, but in the end, Xia Wanqing decided not to move in. Instead, she tore down the wall between the two houses and merged them into one.

After returning from God’s Path in the morning, Yunji had been working very hard on this matter.

Now, there were two houses in their big courtyard. He and Lin Shurou lived in the one on the right, while Yunji and Xia Wanqing lived in the one on the left.

The summer afternoon was quite hot.

The bright sun shone on the green lawn in the courtyard, and colorful butterflies were dancing in the garden.

The cicadas’ chirps easily penetrated the walls and resounded in everyone’s ears.

“Then the butterfly in the courtyard…”

“Oh, it’s because I bought a butterfly’s nest, so the butterflies can live here.”

“What about the birds?”

“A bird’s nest. This way, I can see beautiful birds at any time.”

“You’re going to use the gold coins on this?” Ling Yi’s mouth twitched, speechless.

“I didn’t.”

“I’m still using it for my beauty and health.” Lin Shurou smiled.

Ling Yi was speechless.

Due to the hot weather, she was only wearing a round neck loose white short-sleeved shirt and a white mini-skirt. It revealed a large area of her fair and supple skin.

An alluring fragrance wafted out from her body. Ling Yi pulled her over by her waist and let her lie in his arms. Lin Shurou smiled and hugged him.

Looking at her increasingly mature and beautiful face, he couldn’t help but kiss her gently and said, “You’re becoming more and more beautiful.”

Lin Shurou’s face was not as red as before. Instead, she looked up and smiled sweetly at him. Her bright eyes were filled with strong attachment.

Ling Yi caressed her soft hair and raised his head to look at the clock and calendar. However, his mind was gradually drifting away.

The main road has been opened, and the next enemies in the near future would only be two Beast Kings.

‘Before challenging the Unparalleled Swordfiend, I’ll have to defeat the Ape King from the main world first.’ ‘Mm… I’ll rest for today and go tomorrow.’ As he thought of this, he suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his lower abdomen. He looked down and saw that Lin Shurou was already squatting between his legs. She was anxiously undoing his belt while digging her head into his short-sleeved shirt and licking it greedily.

‘Huh?!’ The high-lifted shirt blocked his vision, but the woman’s rapid movements and disorderly nose still made him notice a trace of abnormality.

‘Strange… She didn’t seem to be so… Looks like I’ll have to ask for more details later.’ …

Ling Yi only had time to talk about Lin Shurou’s weird actions over at 11:30 pm when he returned after killing the two leader-level monsters.

“What happened to you this afternoon?”

The two of them were sitting side by side on the same sofa.

Lin Shurou stuck out her red tongue and licked her red lips. She asked, “What do you mean?”

“No, I mean. I was just wondering why were you in such a hurry back then?”

The moment she finished speaking, Ling Yi saw Lin Shurou’s snow-white face turn red.

“It seems like there’s some reason that’s hard to explain?” As soon as he saw her like this, he had already guessed it.

“I… Can you not tell me?” Ling Yi waved his hand and smiled

“Oh, it’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’m just surprised.”

Right at that moment, Yunji and Xia Wanqing walked in, chatting and laughing.

When they saw Ling Yi, Yunji rushed to his side excitedly and laughed, “Someone wanted to challenge the Beast King one-on-one like you, but he made a fool of himself in front of the entire country.”

“What?” Ling Yi was dumbfounded.

Yunji smiled and didn’t say much more on the matter. Instead, she turned on the TV to replay the evening news and quickly jumped to the four-and-a-half-minute segment.

[Host: At 1:35 p.m. Today in Yunhai City, a level 3 Black Sky appeared. Twelve minutes after Black Sky began, a level 30 Beast King, the Inferno Tyrant, descended!]

On the TV screen, a sea of fire suddenly appeared in the dark sky. Then, a giant flaming eagle with a wingspan of more than 200 meters flew out of the sea of fire. It soared in the sky for a moment and then glided toward the ground.

At this point, the person who took the video was so scared that he dropped his phone, and the scene behind him became dark. But everyone can hear an extremely loud and clear eagle cry!

[Host: After the Beast King slayer appeared, the Divine Union in Yunhai City quickly called on all players and ordinary people within the Black Sky to search for the magic crystal. In just five minutes, a group of students from Yunhai Primary School found the magic crystal in an art room and destroyed it.]

[Host: It is worth mentioning that during this period, a group of players tried to challenge the Beast King, but unfortunately, they were defeated. One of them is the current number one powerhouse of the younger generation, the level 69 player Liu Sheng.]

[Host: The battle between the two sides not only directly destroyed the cities within a few kilometers, but it also directly angered the Beast King. After Liu Sheng and the others fled, the Inferno Tyrant began to destroy the surrounding cities.]

As the host said this, the scene on the screen changed again.

This time, it was shot by another person from a further angle. The 50 – 60 meter tall flaming eagle perched on top of a skyscraper, spread its wings, and looked up at the sky. It then looked down at the beautiful city at night, opened its beak, and shot out an extremely strong beam of fire.

As the eagle’s beak moved, the flame beam also swept across the city, and the buildings exploded one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the surrounding area had turned into a sea of fire.

[Host: Next, let’s watch the news…]

At this point, the news about the Black Sky had come to an end.

Ling Yi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously asked Yunji, “If we didn’t find the magical crystal so quickly, the nation protecting the Divine Pillar and the others would have come.”

“No.” Yunji shook her head and smiled. “If the magical crystal hadn’t been found so quickly, the Inferno Tyrant wouldn’t have lived long.”

“Our six nations protecting Divine Pillars’ schedules are deliberately staggered. It seems like at least three of them must be free at the same time in case of any unexpected events.”

“Which was why, four minutes after the Beast King appeared, Lin Meng, Lin Shenzhu, and his team arrived at Yunhai City.”

Speaking of this, Yunji shook her head with slight regret and said, “If the magic crystal was found any later, this level 30 Beast King would most likely have died to Lin Shenzhu’s team.”

“In order to minimize the losses, the main world’s crusade against the Beast King would always involve everyone attacking together, striving to end the battle as soon as possible.”

“No one would sacrifice more people in exchange for the false reputation of a one-on-one Beast King, especially the country protecting divine pillars, who were watched by countless eyes.”

Ling Yi nodded in understanding.

At this time, Lin Shurou asked Yunji, “The ‘number one powerhouse among the younger generation in Shenxia’ that was mentioned on the news just now, shouldn’t that be Ling Yi? How could it be that Liu Sheng?”

Everyone present knew Ling Yi’s true identity, which was why Lin Shurou dared to mention him out in the open.

Yunji glanced at Ling Yi and said with a smile, “The younger generation refers to those under the age of 25.”

“The outside world doesn’t know Ling Yi’s age, so he isn’t included for now.”
