Chapter 183: One hundred eighty-three, you try it Chapter 183: One hundred eighty-three, you try it Seeing the expression on Qin Yushen’s face, Song Yan Ning couldn’t help but burst into laughter. How could this guy get jealous over anyone, could it be that he grew up on vinegar?
“You little ungrateful thing,” Qin Yushen said with a helpless smile, stretching his hand to tap Song Yan Ning’s nose. After all, he just happened to really like her.
Song Yan Ning playfully made a face.
Qin Yushen shook his head with a smile, looking at Song Yan Ning with affection brimming in his deep eyes, “Let’s go catch some more eels, so we can give grandpa an extra treat when we get back.”
“Okay,” Song Yan Ning eagerly nodded her head. Although she hadn’t fished for eels before, she had Divine Sense, which made such tasks not a problem for her, and neither for Qin Yushen.
“Xiao Yi, Xiao Jun, lend me your fishing hooks,” Song Yan Ning said to the three children.
“Sure,” Xiao Yi and Xiao Jun cheerfully handed their hooks to Song Yan Ning. They had always admired her, so they would definitely not refuse her request.
Song Yan Ning took the hooks and handed one to Qin Yushen, “Let’s have a contest to see who can catch more.”
“Mhm,” Qin Yushen smiled and nodded. As long as Xiao Ning enjoyed it, he would be there with her.
“I want to join too,” the remaining child chimed in. He thought Song Yan Ning’s suggestion was interesting, and he was certain he wouldn’t lose.
“Okay,” Song Yan Ning smiled and nodded.
Li Meixiang glanced at the time, a trace of worry in her eyes, “It’s almost ten o’clock, how come Xiao Ning and Xiao Shen haven’t returned yet? I hope nothing’s happened.”
“There won’t be anything wrong, don’t think nonsense, what can happen in the village?” Yang Lisheng was actually a bit worried as well. The village was safe, but Xiao Ning and Xiao Shen were still children. What if they ran into a bad person? The village was surrounded by mountains, and it was normal for outsiders to come in. Just like before with Liu Qingshan, hadn’t he encountered bad people on the mountain?
“Maybe we should go look for them,” Li Meixiang said, still uneasy. Xiao Ning usually didn’t play out this late.
“Okay,” Yang Lisheng put down his teacup and stood up.
Just then, Song Yan Ning’s joyous laughter came from the doorway, “Grandpa! Grandma! We’re back.”
Li Meixiang finally relaxed, smiling as she looked toward Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, “Where did you guys go to play? Why are you only back now? Eh? Why are you carrying a bucket?”
“We went for a walk and saw Xiao Yi and the others fishing for eels, so we joined them. These are the eels we caught,” Song Yan Ning pointed to the bucket in Qin Yushen’s hand.
Li Meixiang and Yang Lisheng stepped forward and looked at the bucket in Qin Yushen’s hand. Seeing there were almost two dozen eels inside, they were both taken aback, “That many?” It wasn’t like the old days, the farmland was gone, and it wasn’t easy to catch eels anymore.
“We could have caught more, but we gave some to Xiao Yi and the others,” Song Yan Ning said with a smile. She and Qin Yushen had used their Divine Sense to scan the area, making the eels perfectly visible, and with their combined efforts, nearly a hundred were caught, which astonished Xiao Yi and the other two.
Yang Lisheng took the bucket from Qin Yushen with a smile, “It’s tough to catch wild eels nowadays. I will go raise them for now, and tomorrow grandma can cook them for us.”
“Mhm,” Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen nodded in response.
“It’s late, Xiao Ning, you should take Xiao Shen to his room to rest,” said Li Meixiang, who also felt a bit sleepy. She was accustomed to going to bed early and waking up early, and staying up this late was quite rare for her.
“Okay,” nodded Song Yan Ning as she led Qin Yushen toward his room.
Watching the figures of Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen leave, Li Meixiang’s heart was brimming with joy. She was truly happy to see the two kids getting along so well.
“I’m heading back to my room,” said Song Yan Ning as she brought Qin Yushen to the door of his room.
Qin Yushen grabbed Song Yan Ning’s hand abruptly, “Are you going into the system tonight?” They had now reached the middle and high-level system of the Emperor Realm, which didn’t differentiate by age. As long as one was strong enough, they could enter.
However, the middle and high-level system of the Emperor Realm was more complex than they had imagined. Most were ancient martial cultivators and superpower users, and the items for exchange were all rare materials.
“Yes,” nodded Song Yan Ning. She was now more interested in the Emperor Realm as well.
“I’ll wait for you in the system,” said Qin Yushen with a smile, tousling Song Yan Ning’s hair before pushing open the door and walking inside.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Song Yan Ning entered the Emperor Realm.
She smiled when she saw Qin Yushen, Qu Lingfeng, Ye Qi, and Fang Jingxing waiting for her at the entrance of the Task Hall and walked over.
“Xiao Ning, long time no see, I’ve missed you!” Qu Lingfeng said with a smile as he stepped forward, about to embrace Song Yan Ning. He had been busy with the arena world championships recently and hadn’t come here for a week.
A hand reached from behind to grab Qu Lingfeng’s collar, followed by a chilly voice from behind, “Try hugging her and see.”
Qu Lingfeng wisely retracted his hands, smirking at Qin Yushen, “How dare I hug your precious Xiao Ning.” It was just a joke; he knew if he really dared to hug her, the jealous king would beat him so bad even his mother wouldn’t recognize him. Yushen’s care for Xiao Ning was something they were all very aware of.
Qin Yushen let go of Qu Lingfeng’s collar, stepped forward, and took Song Yan Ning’s hand, “Let’s go in.” He knew, of course, that Qu Lingfeng was joking, but even joking was not allowed—his girl could only be embraced by him.
Song Yan Ning rolled her eyes at Qin Yushen, speechless. She confirmed once again that this guy must have been raised on jealousy, but she felt a bit sweet about it in her heart.
Qu Lingfeng and the others exchanged glances and shook their heads, smiling. They were used to Yushen’s jealous temper by now.
Except for their few close friends and his family, Yushen was icy cold towards everyone, but when it came to Song Yan Ning, he seemed to pour all his passion into her. It was clear to them that she occupied nearly all the space in his eyes and heart. They just hoped that Song Yan Ning wouldn’t let down Yushen’s feelings and that one day they could truly be together.
“Which mission shall we take?” Qin Yushen asked, looking at Song Yan Ning. The tasks in the middle and high-level system were not like those in the low-level and middle-level systems; each one here was fraught with danger.
Song Yan Ning scrutinized the scrolling tasks on the big screen carefully, then looked at Qin Yushen and the others, “How about we take the third mission?”
Qin Yushen and the others looked at the task displayed on the big screen, which was a dragon-slaying mission. All they had to do was kill the giant dragon and get the Crystal Stone from its forehead to complete the task.
Qin Yushen looked at Qu Lingfeng and the others, and seeing them nod in agreement, he decided, “Then let’s go for this one.” This task was not too difficult for their group.
