A figure was freely passing through the earth’s core, where human beings couldn’t reach.

She achieved it merely by her own body, without any technological means or protection suit.

There was another reason that was helpful in guaranteeing her free travel.

Because this was where she was born.

Long Xiruo saw red magma when she opened her eyes.

A special texture was mixed in the air---it was an oppressive heat wave. Long Xiruo had submerged in it for a whole day, since she came from the top of the ancient forest.

She stopped here now.

The place had been built before she was born and upheld by a huge column with half of the area being a spacious platform in the rolling magma.

The platform connecting the wall was surrounded by 360 huge chains at the magma level. But each one was not close to the next one.

This was because the platform was extremely big.

Long Xiruo jumped from the entrance and stepped on one of those chains; she jumped again. Her body rising up to the edges of the platform.

She got close to the center of the platform step by step.

Her face looked serious, without any distracting thoughts.

She finally reached her destination--- In front of her eyes was a round pool with no liquid in it.

There were only numerous bones. Gigantic bones.

They belonged to all the true dragons.

Long Xiruo made a bow in front of this pool, "Long Xiruo greets all elder generations."

She pressed her hands on the platform, knocking her forehead 9 times on it before raising up. Then, she gazed at the peaceful pool, saying gently, "Xiruo has seen a strange phenomenon, which has been confusing me. Could any of the elder generation give me some guidance?"

After that, she closed eyes slowly, recalling all the scenes she witnessed from the horrible door gap.

A lot of sweat emitted from her forehead--- Even the burning earth’s core even could not cause her body to have such a reaction.

A minute later, Long Xiruo heaved a sigh and opened her eyes. She was waiting there and clearly knew that those elder generations had become bones and their souls had turned into the nutrition for raising her.

Nevertheless, she was aware that some parts of their intelligence remained.

"Please give me some guidance! I need to know!"

Time passed and her patience had been withered away. She had no choice but to stand up, "Please tell me! What did those phenomenon mean? Why did I have that dream?"

With a deep breath, Long Xiruo said abruptly, "Elders! What happened to his blessed land’s ley lines? Tell me!!"

"Elders!"

She couldn’t help walking forward; but soon, the platform started to quiver slightly!

And it became even more serious as time passed.

Long Xiruo expression changed in an instant, because all the bones were smashed into powders and scattered away.

"...What happened?"

The extreme uneasiness made Long Xiruo face paled... Nobody else understood how firm those bones were, except herself.

They had stood at this place after countless years. She never thought they would be smashed.

But she didn’t get her answer.

Next, the whole platform started to break, one and one rocks dropped into the rolling magma, and 360 chains broke up one after another.

They fell into the magma and disappeared completely. Long Xiruo saw this place, where she was born, facing an unprecedented disturbance.

"Ley lines... The ley lines even..."

Abruptly, her golden eyes clearly saw a different movement of the magma, something which had never occurred in her memories.

Long Xiruo deeply breathed, submerging herself into the magma.

She tried to follow the unusual flow... maybe she would find the real answer.

...

...

It was another day for a typhoon.

Not long after the last one.

Anyway, the abnormal weather that occurred more frequently brought excess rainfall to this city.

A sudden thunder resounded, loud enough to wake the dead.

Qin Chuyu opened her eyes and woke up from her meditative condition. She didn’t know if it was the thunder that disturbed her.

She frowned, gazing at the club hall and saw a figure knocking something on one of the walls.

Tai Yinzi.

"What are you doing?" Qin Chuyu asked.

Tai Yinzi gaped, hiding it behind his body by instinct. However, it fell, maybe because of his nervousness.

Fortunately, Tai Yinzi had a speedy reaction. He turned into black smoke and caught the dropping item.

He turned back to human shape and grasped it by both hands, showing a relaxed expression---It turned out it was a small hammer.

The servant girl ordered him to place it on the shelf yesterday.

"I was lucky not to break it... Oh my god." Tai Yinzi sighed, placing it back onthe shelf.

"Slave B*tch! A gentleman should never scare people from the back, don’t you know that?!" Tai Yinzi moved his anger to Qin Chuyu.

"Ridiculous." Qin Chuyu sneered, closing her eyes gradually.

Tai Yinzi knew he used inappropriate words, but seeing Qin Chuyu no longer speaking to him, he felt depressed and couldn’t help giving her an atrocious look.

WOW!

It was a hellish look.

"Tai Yinzi, what are you doing?"

The servant girl’s voice flew to him from the back. Tai Yinzi gave a start and coughed. When he turned back, his expression had changed back into an old peaceful Taoist.

Anyway, that was what he thought while wearing a colorful shirt with an afro.

"Master, Miss You Ye." Tai Yinzi made a bow to them, "I’m thinking about some martial arts from my friend."

Luo Qiu just finished the daily maintenance on You Ye. He sat in front of the counter, taking a sip of water, and asked, "Martial arts?"

"Yeah, nothing, but some martial arts comprehended by a dingy Taoist from books like the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams."

Tai Yinzi said indifferently, "I met him by chance, and had a happy conversation to exchange thoughts about cultivation. And that dingy Taoist created a set of fist skill for preserving one’s health. I just found out there are many sects using it! So I plan to deeply ponder on it."

Luo Qiu looked at Tai Yinzi, who turned from calm to nervous. He put down the cup, asking, "What kind of fist martial arts?"

Tai Yinzi said politely, "That dingy Taoist wanted me to name it. I just blurted out ’Tai Ji’, and he used it."

Luo Qiu chuckled upon hearing the name. He glanced at the servant girl, who didn’t know why her master laughed.

Why?

That was because Tai Yinzi showed off in a proper way.

"Master... anything wrong?" Tai Yinzi didn’t know the reason and felt his back turning cold.

Luo Qiu shook his head, "Nothing, I think I should thank you on behalf of those seniors in the park."

"How dare I receive Master’s appreciation!"

Tai Yinzi waved his hand, stepping forward and saying, "Master, I realized my fault from the last matter! So these days, I dared not to act lazily to seek for new potential customers under No.9’s instruction! And fortunately, I found one!"

Saying this, Tai Yinzi picked up a white card from his pocket at the back of his leggings and, with both hands, passed it to master.

Luo Qiu didn’t even check the cards Black Soul No. 18 gave him at the level one basement.

He had his own tempo in running a business.

"Really?"

Luo Qiu saw Tai Yinzi’s urgent look that wanted him to check it quickly; however, he put it down.

"Lead the way, I want to go to have a look at the potential customer." Luo Qiu said softly, when Tai Yinzi showed a slight hint of depression.

It made him think of the matter last time. Who knows how this matter would turn out this time.

"Yes, master!" Tai Yinzi was excited.

But the boss opened his mouth, "You Ye, go change, and accompany me."

Tai Yinzi...Tai Yinzi’s smile was slowly faded.

’WHAT...THE...F*CK!’
