Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 250 - 116: Evil Ghost Tier, Watching the Game, Entering the Game

Chapter 250: Chapter 116: Evil Ghost Tier, Watching the Game, Entering the Game

In the early hours, Li Yuan left with Xiaozhao, leaving Xiaomei to attend to him as he bathed, changed clothes, and went to bed.

After the daily routine of the lord and his personal maid, the silent night settled down.

Xiaomei lay satisfied in the bedding, her hip pressed against the lord’s side.

Li Yuan, however, lay on his back, eyes closed...opened them to continue observing the scene in Xiaoliu County of Beijiang Prefecture.

...

...

Xiaoliu County.

Red light.

A faint red light, as if the gates of hell had opened a crack.

Winter fog rose steadily, causing the red light to diffuse and float faintly, enshrouding the entire Spring Breeze Square.

"Don’t go out, there’s enough food here for us to last quite a while."

In the basement, Fang Jianlong and a young girl in green sat opposite each other, the place they were in was completely dark, except for a refined mechanism through which they could view the outside, with no other connection to the outside world.

"My surname is Zhu, given name Qiao’Er."

"My name is Fang Jianlong."

"Young Master Fang, your arrival here is really unfortunate, sigh..." Zhu Qiao’Er sighed softly.

"What on earth happened here?" Fang Jianlong touched the letter in his pocket, still thinking of completing the task given by the ancestor.

Zhu Qiao’Er, troubled, propped her chin and said, "The corporeal forms ran amok. My father had me stay in the back, thinking they wouldn’t come to a place like Spring Breeze Square, but unexpectedly..."

Fang Jianlong suddenly said, "I’m sorry, about my subordinate before..."

"It has nothing to do with Young Master Fang, and that person was just affected, not in control of himself." Zhu Qiao’Er responded.

Fang Jianlong smiled, "The lady is truly understanding."

"Heh..."

Zhu Qiao’Er chuckled quietly.

Fang Jianlong said again, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine."

The two fell silent for a moment.

Zhu Qiao’Er suddenly whispered, "Well...being here...all alone, I would certainly be scared. I’m fortunate to have you, young master, by my side..."

Her voice lowered more and more, but Fang Jianlong listened carefully.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Indeed, this might be our last place, but it’s not too regrettable to be with you before we die."

In the darkness, Zhu Qiao’Er blushed deeply. She quickly whispered as she walked to the mechanism, "I’ll check outside."

She leaned in to take a look for a while.

Fang Jianlong, anxious and curious, also leaned over to look.

However, the mechanism only revealed a small space behind the tavern, now shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see clearly.

Yet, in this darkness, the man and woman accidentally touched skins, and felt like they were electrified, pulling away swiftly.

Separated, they remained silent...

For a long time...

Zhu Qiao’Er suddenly asked delicately, "Where is the young master from?"

"From Shanbao County." Fang Jianlong, not knowing why, felt his heart racing, perhaps due to the environment, perhaps something else...

Zhu Qiao’Er said, "You’re actually from the Jianghu, right?"

"What makes the lady say that?"

The two exchanged questions like a household registry check.

After a while, Zhu Qiao’Er said, "My father is actually just... just an ordinary disciple of the Holy Fire Palace. He said the Central Plains are chaotic, so he left me here...

In recent days, I was upset, so I stopped by the tavern, never expecting such an incident to occur.

If my family’s servants knew, they would surely be anxious. They would come to our rescue.

Once we get out, I... I can ask my father to see if he can introduce you to the Holy Fire Palace."

"Thank you, miss." Fang Jianlong was truly delighted. This is blessing and disaster intertwined...

Zhu Qiao’Er suddenly asked, "Young Master...are you married?"

Fang Jianlong’s heart suddenly raced again, his breath quickened several times, and he said, "I am not. How about you, miss?"

Zhu Qiao’Er shyly said, "No... I am not."

The air suddenly fell silent, the previously gloomy and terrifying darkness suddenly became tinged with a hint of... ambiguity and tenderness.

Flapping, flapping...

White Sparrow spread its wings, flying in mid-air.

Li Yuan’s gaze swiftly swept across.

He had been searching for a long time.

He wanted to find the source of the red light, so if the same thing happened in Shanbao County in the future, he could immediately identify the problem.

However, the fog grew thicker, making the red light vivid as blood.

In the eyes of the White Sparrow, vaguely the figures appeared by the river, in the alleys, in courtyards, worshipping the air.

Li Yuan didn’t linger in battle, urging the White Sparrow to fly high.

And at this moment, a ripple suddenly flashed through the fog.

The next second, the White Sparrow suddenly lost its center, spiraling downward, into a palm.

A cold voice sounded, "I told you to find the Mansion Master, and yet you still look? Don’t blame me for this."

After saying this...

Boom!

Li Yuan’s vision from the White Sparrow vanished.

His expression cooled but soon calmed down.

As he directed another White Sparrow in Hubei County village to head to Spring Breeze Square, he got up from the bed.

"Master..." Xiaomei mumbled, drowsily waking up.

"Xiaomei, you continue sleeping, I’ll be back shortly."

Li Yuan said as he stepped outside, taking a Qing Niao with a value of "1~2" from the birdcage beside him, established a Divine Soul connection with it, and released it.

For ordinary birds, it was difficult for him to find ones with strong innate strength because his Beast Taming Skills were stuck at Seventh Grade, and the Sixth Grade Skills lacked Blood Gold, providing no way forward.

If he had it, he could establish a Divine Soul connection with a Ninth Grade Demon Beast.

By then, he wouldn’t need anyone to bring the bird across the river, a Demon Beast would fly itself.

Back in the room, Xiaomei snuggled up again, warmly pressed against his cold body, diligently fulfilling her duties as a personal maid.

Li Yuan let her continue, unable to observe the situation at Xiaoliu Workshop for the time being.
