<h4>Chapter 179: The Return</h4>


    Trantor: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio


    Tianshan Base, Cerulean.


    As lights shone in the transmission formation, Ye Xuan and others showed up there right away.


    “We are finally back.”


    Everyone felt rxed at the sight of the small square they were familiar with.


    Although they did not run into any danger on the Dragon Horn.


    The Dragon Horn was, after all, not the Cerulean.


    It felt different when they were on the Dragon Horn and the Cerulean.


    “Madam Ren, we are leaving now.”


    However, after returning to the Tianshan Base, instead of lingering there, they walked out of the Tianshan Base immediately.


    Standing outside the Tianshan Base, the teachers of Tang Mengxia, Bu Zi’ang, and Huo Tong bid farewell to Ren Ya one after another.


    “Ye Xuan.”


    While the teachers were saying goodbye to Ren Ya, Tang Mengxia said to Ye Xuan expectantly, “You cane to Danxin University to visit me whenever you have time.”


    She was quite unhappy with Ye Xuan earlier.


    Because Ye Xuan even grabbed the Silver Star Fruits that were supposed to be hers from her.


    But since Ye Xuan exined to herter that his beast did and had no control over it, she immediately forgave him.


    “Okay, Mengxia. I will drop by when I have time.”


    Ye Xuan said after a nod, throwing a glimpse at the girl’s fair-skinned long legs.


    “And you two,e and visit me, too.”


    When she had finished speaking to Ye Xuan, Tang Mengxia said to Huo Tong and Bu Zi’ang after turning her head to them.


    Huo Tong and Bu Zi’ang exchanged a look. They looked a little bit embarrassed.


    Who doesn’t want to be with a beautiful girl?


    However, one of them was wearing whiskers, while the other was inferior to Ye Xuan in every sense. They could notpete against Ye Xuan at all.


    Well, forget it. They had better forget about this girl instead of being her second lines.


    It would be too hard to win the heart of a gorgeous woman who once had a chance with a tall, rich, and handsome man.


    “Ms. Lin, I am back from the Dragon Horn.”


    Ye Xuan was standing next to Ren Ya in the Iron Walled Chariot. An attractive figure emerged in his head as soon as he got a signal in his cell phone.


    Then he sent a message to Lin Shiru immediately. He could not wait any longer.


    However, after he had sent the message, he had not got any reply from Lin Shiru. By the time Ren Ya’s Iron Walled Chariotnded in Jiangzhou University, his phone was still very quiet.


    He also checked his messages once there was a signal in his phone.


    He found Lin Shiru had not sent him even one message in the past few days when he had been away.


    He could not help but worry about Lin Shiru. His eyebrows knitted tightly together.


    Where on earth was this Abysmal of Darkness?


    It had been many days.


    The thought that Lin Shiru could be in danger put Ye Xuan quite nervous.


    That thought considerably dampened even his pleasure for the gains on the Dragon Horn.


    “Ye Xuan, I have got some things to deal withter. You can go back home now.”


    Ren Ya said to Ye Xuan after the Iron Walled Chariot hadnded, “By the way, don’t worry about Ms. Lin. You know how good she is. Even if somethinges up, she can protect herself well.”


    “Okay.”


    Ye Xuan nodded.


    However, he was not cheered up at all.


    After bidding farewell to Ren Ya, he told Lil Wan to take him back to the vi. He was not in the mood to make any detour.


    It was about three o’clock in the afternoon. Ye Guotao and Su Yunmeng were not at home.


    Ye Xuan took his phone out again as soon as he returned to the vi.


    He sent a few more messages to Lin Shiru after thinking about what to write.


    “Ms. Lin, I have achieved the peak Bronze level, and I might achieve the Silver level any time. I am still expecting thatst beast of mine. Come back soon.”


    “Ms. Lin, I was the first one to fight in thepetition against the Dragon Horn. I defeated a Beast Tamer on the Bronze level who has three beasts on the Silver level, and I won three areas for us.”


    “Ms. Lin, on the Dragon Horn, there is a Secret Realm where there is a Silver Star Fruit Tree. I went in there with others. You know what? By getting 292 Silver Star Fruits in there, I won a top honor for Jiangzhou University.”


    However, Ye Xuan still received no response from Lin Shiru after sending her three messages in a row.


    But Ye Xuan did not mind. He just went on sending more messages to vent his worries.


    “Ms. Lin, I suddenly realized I am trendy now. The Dragon Horn n sent me beautiful girls as well as pretty women many times to cozy up to me when I was staying there.”


    “They had even gifted me a manor and one hundred young maids from the Dragon Horn n before I left.”


    “Damn it!”


    Ye Xuan waited a little bit more after sending this message, but Lin Shiru still did not reply to him. He was so angry that he threw his cell phone onto the bed.


    However, then he suddenly recalled something. He picked up his phone and found a number. Then he dialed that number.


    This time the person whom he was trying to get in touch with was Qi Liangcai.


    That guy seemed to have been away from the university since he had left.


    Ye Xuan found Qi Liangcai had not sent him any message, either when checking his phone earlier.


    Therefore, besides feeling worried about Lin Shiru, he was also worried about Qi Liangcai.


    “Toot. Toot...”


    However, the phone was ringing, but no one picked it up.


    “What is going on?”


    Ye Xuan took a deep breath.


    He was quite irritated.


    He gave it a thought and then dialed another number.


    “Ye Xuan?”


    A few secondster, he heard a calm voiceing in the phone.


    “Lv Jing, do you know where Qi Liangcai is? I couldn’t get in touch with him when I contacted himst time before I left. It has been a long time. Hasn’t he been back yet?”


    Ye Xuan asked as soon as he heard Lv Jing’s voice.


    That number he dialed earlier was exactly Qi Liangcai’s number.


    “You are trying to reach Qi Liangcai? He came back yesterday, but he headed for the Ancient God as soon as he returned. As far as I know, there is a Site of Inheritance that is useful to him.”


    Lv Jing replied without holding anything back to Ye Xuan.


    “Okay. So, he went to the Ancient God. I see.”


    Lv Jing’s reply made Ye Xuan relieved.


    He would not mind where Qi Liangcai had gone as long as thetter was safe.


    “By the way, Ye Xuan, where did you go? It has been a long time.”


    Lv Jing asked. She was apparently delighted to get Ye Xuan’s call.


    “Well, I went to contract with a new beast.”


    Ye Xuan only answered her without going into detail.


    Because the thing about the Tianshan Base and the Dragon Horn was highly confidential.


    But mentioning the Dragon Horn to Lin Shiru would not be a problem.


    Because she apparently had already been informed of the whole incident.


    “So, you seeded, didn’t you? You should show it to me when we see each other next time.”


    Lv Jing was very happy for him when she knew Ye Xuan had contracted with a new beast sessfully.


    Then she seemed to recall something. She added, “By the way, I have good news, too. Wei Shan and I achieved the peak Bronze level yesterday.”


    “We should get together someday; you know when Qi Liangcaies back from the Ancient God.”


    “You achieved the Bronze level earlier, and then Qi Liangcai achieved the Silver level. Now Wei Shan and I have had a breakthrough, too. We should celebrate together for all these achievements.”


    “Of course. We will get together when Qi Liangcaies back from the Ancient God.”


    Ye Xuan agreed.


    Lv Jing’s excitement was afort for Ye Xuan. He was less worried about Lin Shiru by then.


    He hung up the phone after talking with Lv Jing a little longer.


    “You are so silly. I told you I wouldn’t need that Obscurus. Why are you still working so hard to get it?”


    “Freaking silly!”


    “You are freaking silly!”


    Ye Xuan took a deep breath after hanging up the phone. However, he was still a little depressed, so he sent more messages to Lin Shiru.


    He would not have had the nerve to call Lin Shiru silly in other times.


    But he could not help it because Lin Shiru had not replied to even one of his messages.


    “The Ancient God!”


    Ye Xuan jumped off his bed when those messages elicited no response once again.


    “Now that I achieved the Bronze level, I can enter the Translucent Secret Realm again to take more challenges.”


    “Darn it. I will go mad if I keep waiting like this. I had better go to the Translucent Secret Realm to pass the challenges set for the Bronze level first.”


    Ye Xuan took a deep breath.


    He would get one evolutionary resource for every challenge he passed.


    He passed three challenges in a row earlier, for which he got some tinum-level evolutionary resources.


    He wondered whether this time he would get something with a higher grade.


    He would like to get a Secret Treasure, which could help the Tidal Treasure Snail rise in stars after achieving the Silver level if possible.


    He would need a Diamond-level Secret Treasure to help the Tidal Treasure Snail achieve five stars and the Silver level.


    The value of one Secret Treasure on that level was equal to the total value of several high-level evolutionary resources.


    “Please be safe. Please!”


    He threw his phone onto the bed after sending Lin Shiru another message. Then hemunicated to the Trial Taker’s token in his Spirit Ocean with his consciousness immediately.


    Buzz!


    The air rippled, and his body started to blur.


    Little by little, he disappeared from the vi.


    ...


    A woman with a perfect curvy body, who was beyondpare with those skinny, t-chested young girls, shed across the endless darkness. Then, grasping a ck lump in her hand, she reached the small green bit she had left in the darkness in advance.


    Whoosh!


    That small green bit gave off endless gleams, which shrouded her perfect body.


    “Stay!”


    Instantly, somewhere deep in the Dark Forbidden Land, a terrifying will spread over, with endless darkness sweeping over. It turned into a dreadful giant hand that grasped with viciousness.


    Buzz!


    As a verdant light shed, that perfect body disappeared from there.


    Whoosh!


    Lin Shiru was gasping for air when she had been dozens of miles away from the Dark Forbidden Land. Then she looked down at the ck lump she was holding in her hand.


    A beautiful smile showed up on her pretty rosy face right away.


    “Oh?”


    However, Ye Xuan had sent to her after taking out her cell phone when she had seen the messages.


    Her eyebrows knitted together more and more tightly.


    She typed on her phone after a little while. Then a message was sent to Ye Xuan.


    “I am back.”


    Then, after some thinking, she added, “Wait for me at home!”
