18: Treasure Place
For several days in a row, Qin Jiang stayed in Qingcheng Town, cultivating feelings with Ye Linger and Chen Ningbing.
The progress was quite good.
One day, Black Dragon found Qin Jiang:
"Young Master, the place you asked me to investigate a few days ago has been found."
"Oh?"
Qin Jiang stood up, his interest piqued.
Ye Linger, who was beside him, was also a little curious:
"What place?"
Now, she had gradually accepted Qin Jiang, but she was as shy as ever and was often bullied by Qin Jiang until her eyes turned red.
Qin Jiang smiled slightly:
"It's a treasure trove.
I accidentally learned of it and have been sending people to investigate during this time."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linger became even more curious; for it to be something Qin Jiang cared about so much, this treasure trove was probably not ordinary.
"Young Master, should we go over now?"
At this moment, Black Dragon spoke, also winking at Qin Jiang, and at the same time, transmitted his voice:
"Young Master, that little brat from the Xiao Family is already wandering around that area."
Qin Jiang's eyes flashed; as expected, he was a Son of Destiny.
If he lost one Opportunity, another would be on its way; if he hadn't known the plot in advance and just let Xiao Fan grow, it was possible he could really surpass him.
However, because of his appearance, most of the plot had been advanced significantly; the year of plot he knew about was about to be completed in just one month.
To know the plot that followed, he would need to spend Villain Points.
"System, how many Villain Points does it cost to spoil one year of plot?"
In Qin Jiang's mind, he asked the System.
Soon, the System replied:
[Different levels of Son of Destiny consume different Villain Points. Spoiling one year of Xiao Fan's plot requires 10000 Villain Points.]
"10000?"
That little?
Qin Jiang felt relieved; casually changing a small part of the plot could earn him tens of thousands of Villain Points.
A mere ten thousand was just a drop in the bucket.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Jiang temporarily did not spoil the plot, saying that perhaps one day Xiao Fan would anger him, and he would just eliminate him directly, saving the trouble of wasting Villain Points.
Of course, in the spoilers, he should be able to find many opportunities, but Qin Jiang lacked nothing and was too lazy to look for opportunities; if he wanted something, he would just ask his family for it, or if that didn't work, exchange for it using Villain Points – how much easier was that?
He raised his head and looked at Ye Linger, saying:
"Ling'er, let's go take a look together."
"Okay~"
...
In the lush mountain forest, many demonic beasts were hidden; this time, the place Qin Jiang came to was called the Myriad Demon Forest, and it was full of rogue demonic beasts.
The Bloodlines of the demonic beasts were also ordinary; although there were many strong ones, the threat was not great.
Black Dragon followed behind Qin Jiang, his subtle Bloodline pressure intimidating countless demonic beasts; he was originally of the Dragon race with a noble Bloodline, and moreover, he had refined the Ancestral Dragon Essence Blood.
Within the Myriad Demon Forest, among those with a nobler Bloodline than him, it was estimated there were only the Demonic Beast Kings in the depths.
Not long after entering the Myriad Demon Forest, Black Dragon stopped; this location was still the outer area of the Myriad Demon Forest:
"Young Master, the place you were looking for is in this mountain peak."
Black Dragon pointed, and one could vaguely see that there was a cave entrance halfway up the mountain.
"That obvious?"
Qin Jiang was surprised.
Flying overhead, such a mountain cave could be seen at a glance; how could it have been preserved until now?
"Cough, cough, there was originally a huge rock, but my subordinate leveled it."
Black Dragon scratched his head.
At the same time, he transmitted his voice:
"That brat from the Xiao Family is currently inside the cave."
Qin Jiang glanced at Black Dragon:
"Why didn't you level the entire mountain? So conspicuously exposing the treasure trove, are you afraid others won't see it or something?"
Black Dragon seemed a little embarrassed and smiled sheepishly:
"Your subordinate will level the mountain right away!"
Saying that, he roared, transforming into a massive Black Dragon, and directly coiled around the mountain peak.
His body was like steel, his scales flashing with cold light; he exerted force fiercely, and the mountain peak he was coiled around exploded with a bang, then he soared into the air and whipped his tail.
Boom!!!
The area above the treasure trove was directly leveled.
Ye Linger's small mouth slightly parted, looking at Qin Jiang with a smile on her face:
"Qin Jiang, Big Brother Black Dragon really listens to you."
Anyone with a discerning ear could tell that Qin Jiang saying 'level the mountain' was a joke, but Black Dragon actually leveled the mountain.
Such simple honesty made even Ye Linger unable to help but smile.
Of course, she didn't know that both master and subordinate were calculating in their hearts.
Qin Jiang saying 'level the mountain' meant he really wanted it leveled.
Black Dragon's true form flashed, turning into human form, appearing beside Qin Jiang, and said with a simple smile:
"Young Master, it's leveled."
Qin Jiang rolled his eyes at him, his speechless expression making Ye Linger smile again.
Meanwhile...
Inside the cave, Xiao Fan, who had just entered not long ago, was completely bewildered.
Although it was a treasure trove, the treasures here were not easy to obtain; he had struggled through several checkpoints and had just seen the treasures inside.
Suddenly, the entire mountain peak shook violently.
Immediately following, a deafening sound exploded with a bang, and within just a few breaths, he suddenly realized that the rock wall above his head had disappeared.
He could see the sky at a glance.
Xiao Fan was dumbfounded.
"Huh? There's a person in the treasure trove?"
At this moment, a voice sounded.
He looked in the direction of the voice, and his whole body trembled; a person he never wanted to see in his dreams.
Appeared before him again.
"Qin Jiang?"
Xiao Fan rubbed his eyes, his face full of disbelief; he could even run into him here?
"Huh? Xiao Fan?"
Qin Jiang wore a look of surprise.
Ye Linger was also a little confused; why was Xiao Fan in the treasure trove?
Qin Jiang's expression turned cold as he looked at Black Dragon:
"Black Dragon, what's going on?"
"Young Master, I..."
Black Dragon also looked completely bewildered, and a little flustered, as if caught off guard.
In his heart, Qin Jiang secretly praised him; this acting could win an Oscar.
Finally, Black Dragon gritted his teeth and knelt on one knee:
"Young Master, Black Dragon is guilty!
Black Dragon will deal with the intruder right away."
As his voice fell, he stood up, looking at Xiao Fan with a cold expression; a powerful aura pressed down on Xiao Fan, directly forcing him to the ground.
Xiao Fan's face was ugly as he roared:
"Qin Jiang, what do you mean?
A dignified Qin Familys Young Master, are you going to forcefully seize someone else's Opportunity?"
"This treasure trove was discovered by this young master first, where does 'forcefully seize' come from?"
Qin Jiang said with a light smile.
"You're talking nonsense!
Forcefully seizing an Opportunity, and still being so self-righteous, hah, is this the Qin Familys Young Master?"
Xiao Fan coldly shouted.
Ye Linger, who was beside him, looked at Xiao Fan kneeling on the ground, feeling a little unbearable in her heart, but hearing Xiao Fan slander Qin Jiang, she got a little angry, and couldn't help but say:
"Qin Jiang has been looking for this treasure trove for several days.
And it was Big Brother Black Dragon who cleared the surroundings before you discovered it; by all accounts, this should belong to Qin Jiang."
Hearing Ye Linger's words, Xiao Fan's eyes widened:
"You...
You're actually siding with Qin Jiang? Don't forget, it was the Xiao Family that raised you!"
"I..."
Ye Linger was momentarily speechless.
And at this moment, Qin Jiang hugged Ye Linger:
"Ling'er is this young master's wife, is it not normal for her to side with this young master?
Could it be that she should side with a bandit like you?"
