"Jiuling Mountain?"

When Wen Xi said this name, Jiang Qi paused and put away the chopsticks he was using to pick up the food.

"Why would you think of going to that place?"

Jiuling Mountain! This place existed in her memory for some time, but it was a long time ago.

"There's nothing in that place. It's very desolate and there are lots of mosquitoes." And... there was something else, I forgot.

Wen Xi interrupted her.

"But that place is full of gold, silver and treasures. I heard there is also an underground palace, and a dragon is locked under the underground palace." Wen Xi looked at Jiang Qi very naturally while speaking.

Dragon~
An ancient thing that exists only in human legends.

"It's just an underground palace. It can't trap such a giant. Do you know how terrifying the power of a dragon is?"

"Hmm? Is it scary?" She had seen scarier ones, and Jiang Qi felt that there was no other dragon in the world that could amaze her as soon as she saw it.

"Why? Have you sea people never seen a dragon?"

It is also possible that it is normal for Wen Xi to have never seen a dragon at his age.

Once upon a time, all traces of the overlord who controlled the entire ocean disappeared on the continent.

As to why, no one knows.

"It's extremely dangerous to go there, but I have reasons why I have to go. If I can't come back..."

"Then I will help you kill Shen Yan so that you can reunite in the underworld."

Wen Xi was stunned, but it was not necessary.

"Why didn't you ask me what I wanted to get from Jiuling Mountain?"

"What are you going to get?" Jiang Qi followed up her question, asking in a nonchalant manner, and it was obvious that his mind was on food.

"You could be more perfunctory."

If Jiang Qi still doesn't understand what Wen Xi means, she is a fool.

The chopsticks on the table made a slight sound.

"Do you have anything to say?"

Wen Xi approached Jiang Qi and saw his own figure in his eyes. "Jiuling Mountain not only has mountain and sea legends, and dragons bound in the underground palace, but also the treasures of the dragon clan and spiritual weapons that split time and space."

Jiang Qi's eyes suddenly became meaningful.

"What did you say?"

"The treasure of the dragon clan."

"No, the last sentence."

"A spiritual weapon that splits time and space."

A spiritual weapon that can split time and space? In Jiuling Mountain. "How do you know this?"

"Before Jiuling Mountain was completely sealed off, more than a dozen people broke in without permission, and none of them survived. Oh~ No, there is another official explanation that they were missing. Only a few people knew that those people were not just hikers. They were all highly skilled and organized teams that entered Jiuling Mountain with a premeditated plan. The only person who survived, who was crazy, is still imprisoned in the Tianshi League."

I don't know when the wind started outside the house. The wind blew through the window, and the swaying shadows of the trees looked somewhat hideous on the glass.

Wen Xi was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes and continued speaking resignedly.

"Don't be too surprised why I know all this. How could you walk in the world for so many years without having some power of your own?"

It's not that surprising. After all, Jiang Qi has his own informants, but they are just a little older.

Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have forgotten the names of those informants and where they were now.

Just when Jiang Qi was stunned, Wen Xi's next words further confirmed his previous doubts.

"The only person who survived mentioned in the few times he was awake that he entered another world. It is very similar to this world, and even has a certain parallel. What do you think... is there a possibility..."

……

"There is a world outside this world, and Jiuling Mountain is the medium that connects the two worlds."

...The atmosphere suddenly became serious. Jiang Qi, who was sitting opposite, concealed the indifference in his eyes and placed his fingers on the edge of the table in annoyance.

……

Ten days later, the news of Wen Xi's disappearance reached Jiang Qi's ears.

At this time, the waiter just brought a plate of steak that she liked. Si Jinyu was sitting opposite her.

When I woke up in the morning, I felt that the weather was very good, suitable for a date between the two of us.

Those who were still in North City went directly to the Imperial Capital and sat obediently in Si Jinyu's office.

The moment he pushed the door open, a charming figure appeared in the originally empty room.

In that instant, the annoyance of not being able to see anyone in his heart completely dissipated. Despite this, he still restrained the excessive emotions that he had released and walked quickly to Jiang Qi. "How long have you been waiting?"

The time was exactly 12 o'clock. He patted the empty seat next to him and sat down to talk. Jiang Qi didn't like the feeling of being looked down upon.

There was a slight noise, and the chair rubbed against the ground. The next second, Si Jinyu was sitting opposite Jiang Qi, with the stool he had just pulled over.

Jiang Qi narrowed his eyes. Did he not want to sit next to her?

But she soon understood. Si Jinyu hugged her almost face to face, and his warm palm gently stroked her back.

"I'm a little sleepy." Before she could rub her eyes, he gently grabbed her wrist.

Jiang Qi's confused eyes suddenly widened a lot.

What's the meaning.

Don't let her rub it?

The next second, her eyelids were touched by warmth, and the tingling sensation made her close her eyes subconsciously.

It seemed like a second, but also like a century.

Si Jinyu stood up straight, exerted a little force with his arms, picked up Jiang Qi like a child, and walked towards the lounge.

For fear of falling, Jiang Qi hooked the man's neck tightly and buried his whole face in the crook of his neck to prevent him from making any further movements.

"I won't sleep today. I have something to do. I'll accompany you after dinner and then leave." When she got up in the morning, she was in a state of confusion. She read the fortune and the result was unclear. Wen Xi would be in danger, and this danger was vaguely related to her.

So she couldn't understand and didn't know what would happen next as it related to her.

I can’t calculate my own destiny, and I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"How long will it take." How long will it take.

How long will it take? As someone who never calculated time seriously, she was also stunned for a moment after hearing his words. "Probably... soon." She was still not used to making promises, even if this person was Si Jinyu, who was different to her compared to others.

Si Jinyu wanted to choose a secluded mountain villa, but Jiang Qi said she just wanted to eat steak, which was more romantic.

The car turned around and headed to another restaurant in front.

When the dish was halfway served, the phone rang with an unfamiliar number.

Si Jinyu exchanged the cut steak with Jiang Qi's.

"No?"

Ah! I have to answer it.

He wiped his hands that had just squeezed the French fries with some tissue paper, picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

The speaker was an unfamiliar male voice, but Jiang Qi still recognized that the other party was Wen Xi's agent.

The other party was timid and his voice was trembling.

"Excuse me, is this Master Jiang Qi?" Wen Xi said before she left that if she didn't come back in four days, she would contact Jiang Qi. She also emphasized that she should speak nicely and have a good attitude.

Master Jiang listened to the middle-aged man's slightly servile voice, and raised his lips with great satisfaction.

"Send me the address."

Then came the sound of hanging up. Zhang Qun was very confused because he hadn't even told her the address. (End of this chapter)
