53: Chapter 53 Unknown Hair and a Blank Sheet of Paper

Just like that, it wasn't until thirty minutes later, when a knock sounded at the door, that everyone finally snapped back to reality.

"Leng Yanshuang, God Venerable of Yuanchu Mountain."

Hearing the words of the soldier who entered, Liu Qiyue and the group of underlings recruited by Kang Dalei all opened their mouths in astonishment.

Especially when they saw that Kang Dalei seemed to have a close relationship with Leng Yanshuang, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves of shock.

"What is her relationship with Kang Dalei?" Liu Qiyue asked again.

Ruan Mi originally didn't want to say anything, but upon seeing Liu Qiyue's pretty face, she decisively turned traitor.

"Fiancée." Those three short words made Liu Qiyue's heart sink.

"She is Kang Dalei's fiancée, the God Venerable of Yuanchu Mountain?"

Ruan Mi nodded.

At that moment, Liu Qiyue didn't know why she suddenly felt a sense of loss, and it hurt.

"He already has someone he likes, so why did he still flirt with me? Is he trying to two-time? But why did he say I was average? Is it because my figure isn't as good as his fiancée's?"

Liu Qiyue thought about a lot in those few short minutes.

At this moment, at the entrance of Death Fishing Village, Leng Yanshuang listened to the report from the Xining Prefecture soldier, and her expression grew colder and colder.

She had messed up the East-West Joint Demon Slaying Competition, and Yuanchu Mountain had ordered her to return to the mountain immediately.

It stood to reason that she was going to be punished.

"Husband, Yuanchu Mountain has ordered me to return to the mountain. Take good care of yourself in Death Fishing Village."

Before leaving, Leng Yanshuang did not forget to give a final instruction.

Watching her reluctant gaze, Kang Dalei didn't have much of a reaction, but Ruan Mi, who was on the side, pursed her lips tightly and muttered:

"Hmph, so what if her strength is a bit stronger than mine, her figure is a bit better, and she's a bit taller than me? Other than that, I am not one bit worse than her."

After Leng Yanshuang left, the way everyone in Death Fishing Village looked at Kang Dalei now, besides the previous awe, had added a lot more admiration.

After all, to be able to get even the God Venerable of Yuanchu Mountain, he was truly worthy of being their master.

But before everyone could lament for long, they remembered another matter. At this moment, Ruan Mi grabbed Kang Dalei by the collar and said angrily:

"I was almost fooled by you! I was at a critical juncture of breaking through, why did you interrupt me? Speak, was it on purpose? Are you afraid that after I break through, I'll come looking for trouble with you?"

"That's right, Young Master Kang, I haven't asked you yet, why did you suddenly wake us up? Is there something going on?"

Liu Qiyue was also curious; she had also been at a critical point in her breakthrough when she was suddenly woken up.

"Sorry, Death Fish Pond now charges by the hour. Your usage time is up."

As soon as Kang Dalei finished speaking, Ruan Mi kicked out at him.

Fortunately, Kang Dalei reacted quickly enough; he grabbed her foot with one hand and slammed her heavily onto the ground. After a yelp of pain, there was Ruan Mi's angry roar.

"Bullshit! Why wasn't there this rule before? You just want to mess with us on purpose."

Kang Dalei couldn't be bothered to explain to the two of them.

"Anyway, it's now thirty high-grade demon cores per level. Give me the demon cores if you want to continue entering the fish pond to cultivate."

"You..." Ruan Mi was so angry she couldn't speak.

How did she encounter such a bastard? Heaven must be blind.

Conversely, Liu Qiyue was not angry at all; instead, she became lost in thought.

Thirty high-grade demon cores could break through one realm. She was currently at Body Refining Stage 3, and to break through to Body Refining Stage 6 and become a God Venerable, she only needed less than one hundred high-grade demon cores. No matter how she calculated it, it was very cost-effective.

Pulling the angry Ruan Mi away, Liu Qiyue brought her to a corner of Death Fishing Village and said very seriously:

"Mi-Mi, let's go kill demons."

Ruan Mi thought she was joking. "Killing demons is fine, but wait until I slaughter that bastard Kang Dalei first."

Liu Qiyue said it again. "I am serious. Let's go kill demons to earn demon cores."

This time Ruan Mi couldn't stay calm and reached out her palm to touch Liu Qiyue's forehead.

"I'm telling you, Qiyue, are you alright? Killing demons to help that bastard?"

"It doesn't really count as that. Young Master Kang likes demon cores, and we need to cultivate. Isn't it a win-win situation?"

After Liu Qiyue finished speaking, she pointed her finger at Kang Dalei's back and said:

"Do you really want to keep being looked down upon by him as a dead weight? Don't you want to surpass him?"

At the mention of surpassing Kang Dalei, Ruan Mi, who had been emotionally stable, saw her expression sink instantly.

Scenes from the past also floated to her mind at this moment.

Cheating. That bastard definitely cheated.

Otherwise, why would his realm improve so quickly?

But she looked at Liu Qiyue, who had an expression of hope, and finally sighed.

"Qiyue, tell me, have you fallen for that bastard?"

Ruan Mi looked Liu Qiyue up and down. A woman's intuition made her always feel that Liu Qiyue was acting unusually toward Kang Dalei.

Liu Qiyue didn't speak. Actually, regarding Kang Dalei, she didn't know how to put it. If she said she liked him, her heart only had space for Meng Chuan, but Kang Dalei's strength was truly very strong.

He was the strongest person of the younger generation she had ever seen, bar none. Even for her, who used to be proud of herself, in front of Kang Dalei, she was nothing more than a green leaf.

But could she say she liked Kang Dalei? Had she ever really?

She didn't know, and she didn't want to know.

She couldn't betray Meng Chuan, but it seemed she had already betrayed Meng Chuan.

"How could that be? He already has a fiancée, and I have someone I like."

Liu Qiyue could only answer like this.

Regarding her reply, Ruan Mi smiled noncommittally.

"Fine. Listen to me and you won't go wrong. That bastard, other than having strong strength, is full of flaws. I don't know what kind of madness got into Leng Yanshuang. At first, we were just her prisoners, and in the blink of an eye, she became someone else's wife, and she's responsive to every request."

Originally, Liu Qiyue didn't want to think about Kang Dalei's affairs, but suddenly hearing Ruan Mi say this, her curiosity was piqued again.

"Mi-Mi, can you tell me about the past? As the God Venerable of Yuanchu Mountain, why did Leng Yanshuang become his fiancée?"

"This matter, it has to start from that accident in Dongning Prefecture. On the way to kill demons, I will tell you slowly."

The two women left just like that, walking away with carefree ease, taking nothing with them.

Cangyuan World was full of demons everywhere, but if one wanted to find real demons, they could only go to one place: the border cities.

Ruan Mi and Liu Qiyue left, and Kang Dalei did not stop them. With someone helping him earn demon cores for free, he couldn't be happier.

It was just that he was very worried about one thing!

Watching the two women's departing backs, Kang Dalei was lost in thought.

"I hope that traitor Ruan Mi doesn't cause any more trouble."

Kang Dalei took a breath and returned to the wooden house to sleep soundly.

For several days in a row, Death Fishing Village was peaceful and safe.

Under the orderly maintenance of everyone, Death Fishing Village already had an appearance of prosperity.

Kang Dalei also rarely enjoyed a few good days.

But good times didn't last long; what was meant to come, came.

On a stormy midnight, an envelope stained with blood appeared at the entrance of Death Fishing Village.

When Xiahou La and Old He woke up the sleeping Kang Dalei, the entire Death Fishing Village fell into a deep silence.

Kang Dalei rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly opened the envelope in his hand. A letter, along with a strand of hair with a black hairband, was mixed inside.

The content of the letter had no words, only an animal pattern. Kang Dalei looked at it from left to right, but he really couldn't make anything out of it.

As for the hair, he knew even less about that.

"This is the letter?" Kang Dalei looked unhappily at the two people in front of him, really wishing he could slap them to death.

Not sleeping in the middle of the night to tell him there was an earth-shattering secret, and the result was this: hair of unknown origin and a blank sheet of paper.
