Chapter 142: You Want to Kill Me, I'll Kill You
Under Jiang Taotao's insistence, Ning Yiyi had to compromise.
The five of them formed a team and signed up.
Ten days later, the 100th Career Holder Tournament would be held in Nanhong City of the Divine Summer Empire.
Thinking that they were very likely to win the championship, Jiang Taotao and the others seemed excited.
Duan Gao clenched his fist, "Serves them right for not teaming up with us. They won't get the championship."
Miao Yu pulled his clothes, "Don't say that. They wouldn't have gotten the championship anyway."
Duan Gao felt she was right, "Yeah, they wouldn't have gotten it anyway."
As they were walking, someone blocked their way.
Jiang Taotao frowned, "What is it?"
Baili Sheng.
Lin Moyu saw who it was. He had met him before in the Dungeon Hall.
Reportedly the grandson of the Baili Academy's dean.
Baili Sheng said coldly, "Ning Yiyi, why are you with this guy?"
His eyes were fixed on Ning Yiyi.
Ning Yiyi's white little hand was holding Lin Moyu's.
His eyes were full of jealousy.
Disgust was written all over Ning Yiyi's face, "Is it any of your business?"
Baili Sheng's chest heaved up and down in anger, "None of my business? You say it's none of my business? Who doesn't know you're my fiancée?"
"Shut your dog mouth!" Ning Yiyi shouted angrily, like an angry little lioness.
"Is something wrong with your brain? You proposed and I rejected you, then you tell others I'm your fiancée?"
"Considering our families are old friends, I didn't make an issue of this."
"What, you've told the lie so many times you believe it yourself?"
"If your brain has a problem, find a good healer to check it out. Don't come here acting crazy."
"I let it go before, but if you dare say this again in the future, I'll tell grandpa to deal with you."
Lin Moyu was a bit surprised. He didn't expect the usually cheerful Ning Yiyi to have such a sharp side.
Ning Yiyi's little face was flushed red, her chest heaving up and down in anger.
Her gaze kept glancing at Lin Moyu. Seeing he had no reaction, she finally relaxed.
After being scolded harshly by Ning Yiyi, Baili Sheng's face turned from red to blue then white.
He gritted his teeth, "Fine, fine, fine, Ning Yiyi. This isn't over, remember, you're my woman. No one can take you away!"
"You brat, you're dead. I'll kill you sooner or later."
Ning Yiyi drew her dagger, "Say it if you want to die."
Flames rose from Lin Moyu's palm, killing intent flowing out.
If someone wanted to kill him, he might as well kill them first.
Jiang Taotao also drew her sword with a swish. Duan Gao and Miao Yu also took battle stances.
Though Baili Sheng's status far exceeded theirs, it didn't stop them from fighting all out.
At this moment, Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi were their comrades.
"Who do you want to kill?"
A deep voice sounded from the sky.
An immense aura poured down. Baili Sheng screamed as if heavily hit and fell to the ground.
Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He was already injured.
In mid-air, the White God's gaze was stern as he stared at Baili Sheng.
"You, want to kill him?"
Baili Sheng was terrified beyond measure.
Why did Bai Yiyuan come?
He had heard before that Lin Moyu had some connection to Bai Yiyuan, but hadn't taken it seriously.
How could someone like Bai Yiyuan be connected to someone like this?
But now...
Huge waves surged in Baili Sheng's heart.
Ning Yiyi put away her dagger. The anger disappeared from her little face as she sweetly called out, "Grandpa Bai."
Bai Yiyuan nodded, "Baili Sheng, I'm asking you, who do you want to kill?"
Baili Sheng was already scared stiff. He shook his head frantically, "White God, I didn't say anything. I didn't say anything at all."
Bai Yiyuan snorted, "Get lost. If there's a next time, I'll personally deliver your head to Baili Hao."
Baili Hao was the dean of Baili Academy.
Bai Yiyuan's words made Baili Sheng's whole body tremble.
Baili Sheng fled in a sorry state.
Bai Yiyuan descended from the sky. Jiang Taotao and the other two quickly greeted and bowed to Bai Yiyuan.
In the Divine Summer Empire, one might not know the emperor, but it was impossible not to know Bai Yiyuan.
The name of the White God was too great.
Bai Yiyuan looked at Lin Moyu, "If I hadn't appeared, were you planning to make a move?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "He wants to kill me, so I'll kill him first."
Bai Yiyuan asked, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the forces behind him? His grandfather, the dean of Baili Academy, Baili Hao."
"Level 81, a top career holder, far beyond what you can oppose now."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "I thought about it. I'd kill him, then teleport to your place."
"If you protect me, there's no problem."
"If that doesn't work, you can send me to the Elemental Battlefield."
"If even that doesn't work, at worst I'll die."
Lin Moyu had already thought through the consequences very clearly.
Bai Yiyuan said solemnly, "You're gambling with your life."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No, I think you'll protect me."
"So confident?" Bai Yiyuan felt a new respect for Lin Moyu.
He didn't expect this kid to have thought it through so thoroughly.
Indeed, if he killed Baili Sheng, these would be the few possible outcomes.
"Not confident, just a feeling."
Bai Yiyuan suddenly burst out laughing.
"Good, good kid. You have my style from back then."
"Indeed, some things need to be done without worrying about the consequences. Like that Ancient Roman Church divine son you killed. What's done is done."
"Old Ning leveled the Ancient Roman Church, and they don't dare make a peep."
"Remember, a strong fist is the hard truth."
Bai Yiyuan was more and more satisfied with Lin Moyu.
He didn't talk much, was decisive in killing, and wasn't hesitant.
This was exactly what he wanted.
Bai Yiyuan tossed a cooldown talisman back to Lin Moyu, "I've sent you the upgrade method. When you collect enough materials, I'll find someone to help you."
Lin Moyu nodded, "Okay."
"I've sent you your new mission. Get to it quickly."
After saying this, Bai Yiyuan glanced at Jiang Taotao and the other two.
"You three aren't bad either." With that, Bai Yiyuan flew up into the sky and left.
In his eyes, Jiang Taotao and the other two daring to make a move against Baili Sheng just now was quite good.
At least they had enough courage.
Unlike some people who were as timid as mice.
Without even courage, how could they become strong?
Lin Moyu checked his communicator.
Ning Yiyi's big eyes peered over, "What mission did Grandpa Bai give you?"
After reading it, Lin Moyu said softly, "He wants me to go to Fortress No. 3 to kill Abyss demons, at least until I reach two-star lieutenant."
"Just that simple?" Ning Yiyi felt it shouldn't be that simple.
Lin Moyu shook his head, "Not just that. Elemental Secret Realms sometimes appear outside Fortress No. 3. The White God wants me to bring back elemental crystals from the Secret Realms."
Elemental Secret Realms?
Ning Yiyi shook her head, indicating she hadn't heard of them.
Lin Moyu said, "I happened to read about this yesterday. The Elemental Battlefield outside Fortress No. 3 is also called the Elemental Plains."
"A large-scale battle once erupted there. Nearly a hundred elemental mages above third transition cast over a thousand forbidden-level spell attacks in total."
"That land was elementalized, later giving birth to many elemental creatures."
It was after that great battle that the place became known as the Elemental Plains.
Ning Yiyi's eyes held curious light, "Elemental monsters? I've never seen them. What are they like?"
She didn't seem afraid of danger at all.
She was more curious.
Lin Moyu said, "We'll know when we go see."
They agreed to meet Jiang Taotao and the others in Nanhong City in ten days.
The two took the teleportation array to the Elemental Battlefield.
Now they both had military ranks. Ning Yiyi was a private, able to use the teleportation array to reach Fortress No. 3 at most.
Lin Moyu was a lieutenant. Even without any stars, he could reach Fortress No. 5.
Fortresses No. 6, 7, and 8 required at least a colonel rank to set foot in.
Military rank was a symbol of both military merit and strength.
