Chapter 131: Ink Condenses at the Door (Ch 131)

Mo Yingchen leaned down and gently stroked Xiao Cong’s bald skull with his fingers, with an imperceptible tenderness flowing between his movements.

“I advanced to the next level just to stay with Xiao Cong forever.”

“We are still too weak now, remember? Last time, those dozen black warriors forced us to flee in a panic. With such strength, how can we accompany you for a long time?”

Mo Yingchen’s voice gradually became firm.

“Don’t worry, I won’t be away for too long. I’ll be back soon, and then I’ll take you to see the outside world.”

He paused for a moment, as if he thought of some beautiful picture, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“How about taking you to the human world?”

In Xiao Cong’s empty eye sockets, the fire of his soul suddenly jumped a few times, as if hope was ignited.

“Really?”

A faint sound came out from between its jaws with a slight tremor, and then the sound gradually became clear and firm.

“Okay, Mo Yingchen, I understand. You go to the cave and break through. Xiao Cong will not leave. Xiao Cong will always be here waiting for you.”

“Xiao Cong also wants to practice. Xiao Cong wants to go to the human world with Mo Yingchen to take a look.”

“Let’s go see what the colorful world that Mo Yingchen mentioned looks like!”

The smile on Mo Yingchen’s face became even more intense. He patted Xiao Cong’s head gently, turned around and walked into the deep cave.

As his figure disappeared into the darkness, a huge rock fell down and sealed the cave entrance tightly.

Inside the cave, Mo Yingchen sat cross-legged. It was pitch black all around him, with only a faint glow emanating from him.

The promotion has begun!

【Please select the upgrade carrier. 】

The cold mechanical voice of the system sounded in my mind.

Mo Yingchen thought for a moment and took out an item from his arms…

Fragments of the world!

[The carrier has been confirmed. Using world fragments to advance may cause unknown risks. Do you want to continue? ]

Mo Yingchen was already accustomed to this kind of reminder.

Since he was promoted to the first level, every breakthrough was accompanied by similar warnings.

Without any hesitation, he chose “yes”.

In an instant, a dazzling light flashed, and the fragments of the world in Mo Yingchen’s hand disappeared out of thin air.

At the same time, his consciousness gradually became blurred and he fell into endless darkness.

The third-level breakthrough officially begins.

Outside the cave, Xiao Cong stood quietly among the pile of bones, motionless, like a lifeless sculpture.

Only in those empty eye sockets, two balls of blue soul fire were quietly burning.

It reflects its expectations for the future and its desire to reunite with Mo Yingchen.

Time, at this moment, seems to have lost its meaning.

……

At the same time, in Subei City, at the Xia family residence.

It has been several days since Xia Yunxi returned home from the trial site.

Today, I heard that an unexpected guest came to visit.

When Xia Yunxi thought of the relationship between this guest and that man, his heart was suddenly stirred and he felt inexplicably agitated.

She walked lightly and hurried to the reception room.

What came into view was the aloof figure of Mo Bingning. She was standing quietly in the center of the hall, like a beauty carved out of ice and jade.

Xia Yunxi’s heartbeat became more and more rapid.

She had already guessed that Mo Bingning’s trip was definitely for the whereabouts of Mo Yingchen.

“Miss Xia, you left with my little brother at the beginning, why are you coming back alone now?”

Mo Bingning opened her red lips slightly, her voice was as cold as an icy spring, but it carried the majesty of a top-level third-level professional.

“Where is my little brother now?”

“Where on earth did you go?”

Although the battle among all races is not top secret, it is not something that ordinary people can know.

In this huge city of Subei, there are probably only a handful of people who know about this, no more than five.

Of course, Mo Bingning is not among these five people.

Therefore, after Mo Yingchen left for several months, she had no idea where he had gone.

No matter how she inquired, the answer she got was always four cold words – no comment.

Mo Bingning has been upset ever since she realized that day that the Mo family owed Mo Yingchen many years.

The feeling of guilt torments me day and night, following me like a shadow.

She stayed indoors and hadn’t stepped out of the house for months.

She had forgotten about the imminent promotion to the fourth level, the chasm between low-level and high-level professionals.

All I want is to make up for Mo Yingchen.

Even though Mo Yingchen had said resolutely that he would no longer have anything to do with the Mo family.

But as the eldest sister, how could she bear to see her younger brother wandering around?

This wait lasted for several months.

It wasn’t until Xia Yunxi returned that hope began to ignite in Mo Bingning’s heart.

I thought that since Xia Yunxi had returned home, Mo Yingchen, who was traveling with her, would also be returning soon.

However, several days passed and there was still no news from Mo Yingchen.

Mo Bingning could no longer hold back and finally went to visit Xia Yunxi to get to the bottom of things.

In order to force Xia Yunxi to tell the truth, she even released the pressure of a top-level third-level professional, trying to make Xia Yunxi dare not hide anything.

But she had never expected that in the trial site, Xia Yunxi was also one of the people kneeling at the foot of Tingfengxuan Mountain.

There, everyone was constantly bathed in the pressure emanating from Mo Yingchen as he sat on the skeletal throne.

On the throne, the pressure that Mo Yingchen unintentionally revealed was only stronger than the one Mo Bingning deliberately released!

Under such subtle influence, Xia Yunxi has long been accustomed to this intensity of pressure.

At this moment, I feel naturally calm.

To Xia Yunxi, Mo Bingning’s pressure was like a gentle breeze on his face, not causing even a ripple.

Moreover, on the way back, on the flying boat, the strict gag order was still echoing in her ears. How could she dare to utter a single word?

“Miss Mo, I have nothing to say.” Xia Yunxi lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, “I hope you can forgive me for what happened to Yingchen.”

Mo Bingning was struck by lightning when she heard this. Her anxiety instantly reached its peak and she even grabbed Xia Yunxi’s collar in an uncontrollable manner.

“Yunxi, tell me, what happened to him?”

clang!

With a clear sword sound, the flying sword at Xia Yunxi’s waist suddenly came out of its sheath and hovered in the air.

The sword was shining with cold light, and the sharp sword intent pointed directly at Mo Bingning’s brows.

At this moment, Xia Yunxi, who has reached the middle stage of the second stage, relies on the special characteristics of his profession as the Lieyang Sword Immortal.

In terms of attack power, he may not be inferior to the top-level third-level shadow warlock in front of him who is not specialized in attack.

The air stagnated at this moment.

The temperature around seemed to drop a few degrees as the sword intent spread.

Mo Bingning could almost smell the cold air emanating from the sword edge.

She stared blankly at the flying sword in front of her that was ready to fly, and bitterness in her heart surged like a tide.

She slowly loosened her fingertips that were tightly grasping Xia Yunxi’s collar and stepped back with weak steps.

“Miss Xia, I was rude just now.” Mo Bingning’s voice trembled slightly.

“I’m just… too worried about my little brother’s safety. I hope you can forgive me.”
