Chapter 143 – Yun Langyue: Looks Like There'll Be Plenty of Fun Ahead

“————”

It was a heavenly melody.

As if coming from beyond the horizon.

Like something drifting from the seaside.

This extraordinarily beautiful singing voice appeared without any warning, like faint echoes and gentle breezes, reverberating throughout the surroundings.

“What is this…?”

At this moment, everyone froze in place.

Lei Hao, who had been chasing Su Ming, stopped.

An Zijin, who had been challenging Xu Qianqian, stopped.

Ye Bai, Jiang Wanyu, Yao Beibei and others, who had been bewildered by the sudden situation, stopped.

Su Ming also halted his movements and turned with the dazed Xu Qianqian to look in one direction.

There, the beautiful mermaid girl had unknowingly emerged from behind a stone pillar and begun to sing.

“Lulu lululululu”

The enchanting melody flowed from the girl’s lips, making her appear as if she were singing passionately by the seaside. With closed eyes and clasped hands, she sang with all her heart.

Ripples continuously undulated around the mermaid girl, forming layer upon layer of waves that pulsed rhythmically, as if dancing along with her song.

This exquisite scene transformed the space within the dilapidated building into something resembling a fairyland.

The beautiful maiden, singing her heavenly melody with such dazzling brilliance, captivated everyone present.

Unable to resist, everyone closed their eyes and began listening to this divine music.

Including Su Ming, Xu Qianqian, and An Zijin, all inexplicably felt a sense of peace wash over them as they quietly listened to the song, completely immersed in it.

All noise miraculously disappeared.

All clamor was replaced by tranquility and beauty.

Gradually, even the fierce roars and howls that occasionally echoed around the Wasteland Ruins subsided.

It was as if even the rampaging Phantom Demons had become immersed in this singing, and all conflicts in the world had ceased.

This feeling was truly wonderful.

Unconsciously, a gentle breeze blew from the horizon.

Unconsciously, the weather cleared completely.

When the song ended and the heavenly melody faded, everyone in the dilapidated building remained lost in reminiscence, unable to snap out of it for a long time.

“Mi-ling!”

Only the mermaid girl remained, looking at the peacefully immersed crowd who had quieted down in her song. A satisfied expression appeared on her delicate, artwork-like face.

Later, after spending more time with her, Su Ming would come to understand that this mermaid girl particularly detested arguments.

Therefore, upon seeing everyone quarreling, even though she felt somewhat timid, she couldn’t help but sing, using her voice to calm the conflict.

No one would believe that such an angelic being could be a bloodthirsty Phantom Demon.

But it must be said that Little Hai’er’s singing left a deep impression on everyone.

Unforgettable for a lifetime.

……

“”””Let’s adopt her!””””

These words echoed uniformly throughout the dilapidated building.

Approximately several minutes after the song ended, the four who had awakened from their enchantment—Lei Hao, Ye Bai, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei—spoke these words in unison, their gazes toward Little Hai’er filled with affection, tenderness, and intoxication.

Yes.They had all been captivated by Little Hai’er’s cuteness and singing.

So what if her origins were unknown?

So what if she was a Phantom Demon?

At this moment, everyone no longer cared.

They only knew that letting Little Hai’er leave at this point was simply impossible.

This child must stay.

Everything else was unimportant.

“I agree!”

An Zijin raised her hand, her small face filled with joy and excitement.

It seemed Little Hai’er’s singing had also awakened the darkened An Zijin, restoring her to her original self.

As for Xu Qianqian, it went without saying.

She was the one who brought her back—Su Ming was merely the executor. In this Young Miss’s view, Little Hai’er staying was already a done deal.

The only difference was that previously, Xu Qianqian had been more concerned about preventing Longyao City from falling into chaos due to Little Hai’er’s presence, which was why she wanted to hide her secretly.

But now, even Xu Qianqian had to admit that she genuinely wanted to raise and protect this little cutie.

Would Su Ming have any objections to this?

Of course not!

After all, when it came down to it, the authority over this little cutie lay with him!

“So Senior and Little Hai’er will stay with us for now. Any objections?”

Su Ming confirmed triumphantly.

“No objections!”

Lei Hao, Ye Bai, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei raised their hands in agreement one after another.

They had no reason to refuse anyway.

Especially Lei Hao—he was overjoyed that his goddess could stay.

Although Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei had their own little thoughts, in front of Little Hai’er, those thoughts were quickly forgotten.

Even An Zijin fell silent after glancing at Xu Qianqian.

“Excellent!”

Su Ming was very satisfied.

“Miling!”

Little Hai’er was also very satisfied.

Arguing was bad, really bad.

Everyone getting along harmoniously was the best!

The peculiar Phantom Demon thought this way.

Unfortunately, the little girl had no idea just how adorable she looked when she nodded with such earnest satisfaction.

“I can’t take it anymore!”

Jiang Wanyu shouted and pounced toward Little Hai’er.

Clearly, this woman had been completely captivated by Little Hai’er’s cuteness.

Yao Beibei’s eyes also sparkled as she followed behind Jiang Wanyu, running toward Little Hai’er.

These two had originally become An Zijin’s loyal supporters because she was too adorable. Now, with the appearance of a little girl whose cuteness was off the charts—beyond any words in the world—the fact that they had held back this long was already remarkably restrained.

Of course, Little Hai’er had no way of knowing this.

In the little girl’s eyes, it was just two terrifying humans suddenly lunging at her.

“Miling!”

The timid mermaid girl, as expected, was frightened. With a flick of her fishtail, she stirred the water and swam away without looking back.

“Don’t run!”

“Let… let me hug you! Just once!”

Jiang Wanyu and Yao Beibei grew anxious and hurriedly chased after her.

“Miling!”

Naturally, Little Hai’er didn’t listen and even sped up a little.

Thus, the three began a chase, one after the other.

Lei Hao and Ye Bai watched this scene, feeling somewhat tempted to join in.

“You two aren’t thinking of joining them, are you?”

Su Ming looked at his two troublemaker friends as if he were staring at two perverts.”Forget it. It’s quite a sight to see two beauties chasing each other, but if you two rough guys join in, it’ll just be an eyesore.”

Upon hearing this, Lei Hao and Ye Bai turned around and punched Su Ming.

Nearby, Xu Qianqian and An Zijin exchanged another glance.

By now, An Zijin no longer radiated the dangerous aura she had before.

However, the young girl still watched Xu Qianqian with full vigilance, whispering a declaration.

“No matter what happened between you and Brother Su Ming, senior, I want to make this clear first.”

An Zijin stated firmly.

“Brother Su Ming is mine. No one can take him away.”

With just these words, she revealed the resolute and dominant side of her heart.

This seemingly adorable girl-next-door, who always appeared extremely well-behaved in front of Su Ming, showed nothing but dominance at this moment.

Xu Qianqian gazed at An Zijin, feeling an inexplicable emotion welling up inside her that even she hadn’t quite noticed.

He’s yours?

No one can take him away?

We’ll see about that!

Recalling the sweet and wonderful memories from last night, the blood in Xu Qianqian’s body grew somewhat heated.

Immediately, Xu Qianqian spoke up.

“We’ll see about that.”

The aloof Academy Beauty senior, for the first time for a man, threw down a challenge in front of another woman.

“Hmph.”

An Zijin let out a light snort, her gaze towards Xu Qianqian completely transforming into that of looking at a love rival.

Xu Qianqian met An Zijin’s stare without backing down.

Their eyes clashed, sparking intense sparks.

The smell of gunpowder had thoroughly spread between the two.

…

At the same time, in the city center of Longyao City, a young girl suddenly stopped walking, lifted her head, and looked towards the direction of Huaming District.

Around her, many people were watching this girl, their eyes filled with amazement and daze.

Beside the girl, a bespectacled man, flipping through a notebook, looked at the halted girl and blinked in surprise.

“What’s wrong, Miss Yun?” Shi Lin asked puzzledly.

“Nothing.” Yun Langyue extended her jade-like slender finger, tapping her flawless cheek as if talking to herself. “It seems something quite interesting has happened.”

“What?” Shi Lin couldn’t quite catch on.

“Don’t mind it, just some inexplicable intuition.” Yun Langyue didn’t explain further to Shi Lin, merely smiling enchantingly, causing the surrounding passersby to gasp in awe, before suddenly saying, “Great Master, do you think that guy, now a Dual Professional, having awakened a Vision Mark, and with a Nightmare Species Bloodline, will soar to great heights and become the most dazzling star in the future?”

Yun Langyue’s words first made Shi Lin pause, then he nodded.

“Young friend Su indeed has extraordinary potential. He will undoubtedly become an exceptional existence in the future.”

This much, Shi Lin acknowledged.

After all, he had personally witnessed Su Ming’s entire transformation process and had a clear understanding of how far Su Ming’s future could reach.

Not to mention the rarity, value, and strength of being a Dual Professional itself, just Su Ming’s achievements in both professions were enough to showcase his potential.In terms of Hunters, with Nightmare Species Bloodline Foundation Establishment and a mutated right hand, he successfully adapted after taking the Phantom Demon Potion, immediately reaching Three-Star level. As mentioned in rumors, with the immense potential provided by the Nightmare Species Bloodline—considered a Seven-Star pass—becoming a top-tier Hunter is just around the corner.

As for Sorcerers, although Shi Lin doesn’t know much, who would dare say someone who awakened a Vision Mark during their student days and became a Four-Star Sorcerer lacks potential?

It can be said that Su Ming’s potential is top-tier in both the Hunter and Sorcerer aspects.

Having just one of these potentials would be enough to burn incense in gratitude and make ancestral graves smoke with pride, yet Su Ming possesses both. Isn’t such an existence’s future promising?

In any case, Shi Lin has never seen a junior as outstanding and full of potential as Su Ming.

His willingness to give Su Ming preferential treatment isn’t without the idea of currying favor with a future big shot in advance.

However, Yun Langyue’s reaction upon hearing Shi Lin’s words was somewhat peculiar.

“That little man is becoming more and more outstanding. In the future, more and more people will notice his excellence and gather around him, right?”

As if she could envision that scene, Yun Langyue smiled playfully.

“With competitors increasing, it seems there will be plenty of fun in the future.”

After leaving these words, Yun Langyue lifted her steps again and walked forward.

Shi Lin felt utterly baffled but didn’t dwell on it, quickly becoming engrossed in the notebook in his hands, studying it with gleaming eyes.

Along the way, several well-dressed individuals seemed drawn to Yun Langyue, who was walking ahead cheerfully, and moved closer to her.

But the next second, several figures in black appeared before these people and, disregarding their objections, dragged them away.

……

B-5 Zone, Wasteland Ruins.

The group emerged from the dilapidated building.

After deciding to travel together, there was no need to linger here any longer, so they naturally wanted to leave.

However, once outside, they realized that with so many people, one off-road vehicle couldn’t seat everyone.

“What should we do about this?”

Lei Hao sat in the driver’s seat, looking at the group unable to all fit in the vehicle, his expression troubled.

The off-road vehicle didn’t have many seats to begin with. If not for the fact that people could stand in the trunk, fitting six people wouldn’t have been easy.

Now, with the addition of Xu Qianqian and Little Hai’er, making eight people in total, sharing one vehicle was simply impossible.

“How did you get from B-2 Zone to B-5 Zone?”

Ye Bai asked this question.

The distance between B-2 Zone and B-5 Zone isn’t far, but it’s certainly not close either.

At the very least, crossing two zones on foot would take at least two days and two nights.

This made everyone feel puzzled.

“Brother Su Ming only went to B-2 Zone yesterday to rescue Senior Xu, right?”

“Moreover, you had time to rest at night and only started returning after daybreak.”

“How did you manage to make the round trip in such a short time?”

An Zijin, Jiang Wanyu, and Yao Beibei grew suspicious.

Xu Qianqian didn’t speak, merely holding the restless Little Hai’er as she stood to the side.Su Ming naturally wouldn’t tell everyone that yesterday he had fully unleashed his Hunter power, relying on the speed and jumping ability provided by his powerful physique to swiftly fly toward B-2 Zone and arrive by Xu Qianqian’s side in time.

However, when returning today, Su Ming used a means of transportation.

“I used this.”

Su Ming patted the space beside him.

Everyone felt their vision blur for a moment, suddenly noticing that a vehicle had appeared beside Su Ming.

That vehicle made everyone exclaim in astonishment instantly.

“Holy crap!”

“What is this?”

“So cool!”
