Chapter 291: 291: Who on earth is Hong Shixian?
Zhuang Huanling, of course, could not tell Gong Shuier, instead, she gritted her teeth and incessantly cursed at Jiang Xiaobai.
As Zhuang Huanling cursed, Gong Shuier was getting a splitting headache.
Others might not understand Zhuang Huanling’s character, but Gong Shuier was very aware, especially knowing that although Zhuang Huanling loved to bully people and cause trouble, she was quite a strong individual.
Character wise, Zhuang Huanling was generally very steady. Even if she was facing great trouble, she would just furrow her eyebrows a bit.
As if no matter the situation, Zhuang Huanling was always able to solve it.
What Gong Shuier knew most clearly was Zhuang Huanling’s identity. Apart from a few big shots in the Eastern Province, she was the only one who knew.
Given Zhuang Huanling’s noble identity, she shouldn’t be behaving this way.
The more Gong Shuier thought about it, the more curious she became.
“Who the hell is that Hong Shixian? How did he manage to bully my Linger like this?” Gong Shuier said to herself as she glanced at the still ranting Zhuang Huanling.
In reality, Zhuang Huanling’s character was exactly how Gong Shuier understood it to be, always exuding a sense of control over everything.
However, when dealing with Jiang Xiaobai, Zhuang Huanling suddenly discovered that none of her usual methods worked.
She had tried to have someone take care of Jiang Xiaobai, but instead, Jiang Xiaobai turned the tables on them. Had Zhuang Yuling not been present, those five people would have undoubtedly been in serious trouble.
That was one thing, but no other methods seemed to work, not even when she personally threatened Jiang Xiaobai. But every time, Jiang Xiaobai ended up threatening her instead.
Especially the first time they met, Jiang Xiaobai humiliated Zhuang Huanling, badly, very badly indeed.
Usually, if Jiang Xiaobai had treated any other weak woman in this way, they would undoubtedly be pitiful, and their mental state would not be normal for many months.
That Zhuang Huanling could endure such soul-crushing torment until now was impressive enough.
But even so, each time, no matter what the issue was, she always came off worse when dealing with Jiang Xiaobai, and was unable to regain her dignity, leading to her outrageous behavior.
In Zhuang Huanling’s eyes, that guy was just like a pile of dog shit, absolutely disgusting!
Disgusting!
“Alright, alright, Linger, calm down. Getting too angry is bad for your health.” Without any other options, Gong Shuier could only comfort her thus.
Thanks to Gong Shuier’s help, Zhuang Huanling felt a little better. For the first time, she appeared pitiful, leaning into Gong Shuier’s arms, her eyes turning red.
By chance, she was able to clearly see Jiang Xiaobai and his two companions eating raw fish slices on a large rock from her angle.
This was a massive blow.
“How can he… How can he still eat?!” Zhuang Huanling said through gritted teeth: “Damn it! Damn it! Why?!”
“I’m almost dying of anger here, yet he still has an appetite?”
When Gong Shuier heard this, she also looked over and saw Jiang Xiaobai and his companions thoroughly enjoying the raw slices of dragon turtle fish king.
Having never seen such a method of eating before, Gong Shuier watched them savor the translucent fish slices, actually swallowing her saliva in response.
For some reason, by watching them eat, Gong Shuier also started to crave it.
“It smells so good, what are they eating? Why does it smell so good?” Gong Shuier said as she licked her lips.
“What?”
Zhuang Huanling suddenly sat up and saw the dazed look on Gong Shuier’s face, making her grit her teeth in frustration.
Tears of frustration began to well up in her eyes once again.
Fortunately, Gong Shuier managed to react at the last moment, quickly starting to comfort her, otherwise it really would’ve been a disaster.
As daylight gradually broke, the secret realm in the altar was reopened. The fights began almost immediately.
Since several people had already entered the secret realm over the past few days and gained opportunities, those who didn’t, watched them with envy.
The only thing in their minds now was to enter the secret realm at all costs, hoping to experience the mysterious power of Ji Yuan firsthand.
Thus, the image of people fighting amongst themselves couldn’t accurately describe the scene any more. Everyone had become bloodthirsty, their earlier restraint was lost, all their moves were fatal.
It was precisely because of such intense competition that the number of people surrounding the altar rapidly decreased. However, those who remained were strong!
Those who could survive in such chaos had proven their strength.
As a result of the cumulative shifts in the opportunities, many people were able to enter the secret realm through various methods. The speed of decline in the number of spots was much faster than in the previous days.
Throughout the morning, Zhuang Huanling had been gritting her teeth, staring at Jiang Xiaobai. Her anger towards him had never subsided.
If it were not for the variable-filled Mad Demon’s Secret Land, and the fact that more time was needed to find the opportunity, she really could have fallen out with Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai remained nonchalant all morning, enjoying his time with AnRan as if he were a spectator at a play.
Jiang Xiaobai naturally felt Zhuang Huanling’s ghostly stare, but he ignored her.
Only in the afternoon did Zhuang Huanling realize what she was doing, and that she had wasted a lot of time!
At that moment, she used her martial arts to calm down, adjusting herself to the best possible state.
It wasn’t until a good while later that she opened her eyes. Her gaze towards Jiang Xiaobai had become completely indifferent.
“Humph, why should I, a lady, be angry with a trash like you? Isn’t it better to seize the time to acquire more resources and opportunities?”
Zhuang Huanling snorted to herself inwardly, her eyes turning towards the direction of the eight secret realm.
Today, she must enter the eight secret realm.
Not wanting to attract the attention of others, Zhuang Huanling, under the cover of the disciples from Jade Top Mountain and Purple Garden Mountain, disappeared amidst the chaos.
Unfortunately, she was completely unaware that Jiang Xiaobai had been keeping an eye on her all along!
Jiang Xiaobai sensed something amiss as soon as she disappeared. Within a minute, he immediately ran to find a place where no one was around, heading towards the eight secret realm.
Fortunately, he was able to spot Zhuang Huanling while she was off guard and preparing to move forward.
“Good, there’s still a chance!”
Jiang Xiaobai said to himself, while appearing directly in front of Zhuang Huanling.
Zhuang Huanling was almost scared to death by the sudden appearance of Jiang Xiaobai. She instinctively raised her hand to attack, but Jiang Xiaobai was prepared and easily dodged her attack.
“You scoundrel, you really came to cause trouble, didn’t you?”
Zhuang Huanling clenched her teeth, staring daggers at Jiang Xiaobai.
“Don’t worry, I’m not here to trouble you. I can help keep watch here. After you come out, you can tell me what’s inside,” Jiang Xiaobai said indifferently.
“You? Help me?”
“Hong Shixian, I’ve noticed that you’re becoming more and more shameless!”
