Chapter 100 – Heavens! The Host Actually Broke the Array Grandmaster's Formation!

“Impossible!”

“There must be some mistake!”

Li Qinghe rubbed her temples, beginning to doubt her own existence.

One must understand.

This was a formation she had expended all her mental energy to set up. In theory, it should have been able to delay even an Innate Realm expert.

But now…

It couldn’t even deceive a slacking administrator?

This shouldn’t be happening!

Could it be that the formation failed to activate properly?

Thinking this, Li Qinghe fell into confusion, reviewing the entire process from start to finish, pondering over the steps of inscribing the array patterns earlier.

“The ancient star chart is complete, Star Power output is functioning normally…”

“It should be operational in theory.”

However.

Just as she was deep in thought.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Qin Yang’s body tilt slightly, as if making a new movement.

“Hmm? Is he moving?”

Seeing this, Li Qinghe’s face lit up with excitement. She quickly pulled out her phone, turned on the camera, and aimed it through the gap in the bookshelf at Qin Yang.

“I knew it! It seems the formation activation was just a bit slow earlier. The real show is about to begin now.”

“Hehe, this is a milestone moment. I must record Qin’s embarrassing state.”

The next moment.

With recording mode activated, Li Qinghe steadied the screen with both hands, zoomed the focus several times, and clearly locked onto Qin Yang in the corner.

In the frame.

Qin Yang turned over, slowly lowered his crossed legs, adjusted his posture, and with eyes closed, readjusted the fox pillow beneath his neck.

And then…

There was no then.

Qin Yang continued sleeping, motionless, as if nothing had happened—merely changing to a more comfortable position.

Peaceful, steady.

“???”

Witnessing this.

Behind the bookshelf, Li Qinghe’s smile froze. The corners of her mouth, which had just lifted with effort, slowly drooped. Even the phone she was holding lowered as her dao heart suffered another impact.

Just…

Just lowering his crossed legs and turning over?

And that’s it?

Li Qinghe stared at Qin Yang, then glanced at the operating formation in the corner, her brows furrowing tightly. She was utterly bewildered.

“What in the world is going on?”

………………

“Master, you’re squashing my tail when you turn over…”

At the nape of Qin Yang’s neck, Xiaobai whimpered softly as she wriggled her fluffy tail in grievance:

“Could you change your position…”

“It hurts…”

Currently, she was being used by Qin Yang as a living body pillow, serving as an emotionless tool—a fox cushion placed at the back of his head, acting as a buffer against the wall.

“Endure it.”

Qin Yang transmitted calmly.

Resting on Xiaobai’s soft, fleshy body, he felt nothing but comfort—fluffy and pliant.

Even more comfortable than a pillow.

“Oh, understood…”

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai transmitted back weakly, holding her breath, not daring to say another word.

A fox under the eaves holds a lowly status…

She felt deeply wronged but couldn’t move recklessly, afraid of disturbing Qin Yang’s leisurely mood.

She had noticed the Illusionary Array’s condition the moment it activated.

There was no helping it; this second-level Illusionary Array was far too rudimentary.

In the eyes of the fox tribe, skilled in Illusion arts, it was like showing off one’s incompetence before experts—utterly insignificant, let alone in her master’s view.

Right now, Qin Yang was merely toying with that human.

“I wonder when that human who set up the formation will finally withdraw it…”

Xiaobai narrowed her eyes, subtly turning toward Li Qinghe’s direction. Sensing her aura, she couldn’t help but sigh silently in her heart.Sigh.

Even I, the Fairy, can’t deceive our master.

How could a mere human like you possibly succeed?!

………………..

A moment later.

The library was quiet, the atmosphere serene and elegant, with soothing saxophone music drifting leisurely through the air, and the gentle warmth of the midday sun.

Li Qinghe crouched beside the bookshelf, arms wrapped around her knees, on the verge of complete self-isolation.

While Qin Yang remained steady and unmoved, she had long since fallen into a mental storm, calculating all the previous problems over and over, yet still unable to figure out the method to trigger it.

“Where exactly did it go wrong…”

But just as she murmured to herself.

Suddenly!

Tap, tap, tap.

From the library’s entrance, several steady footsteps echoed, faintly accompanied by the sound of cheerful conversation.

A few guests could be seen walking together in a group, slowly making their way toward Section 1.

“Oh no, someone’s coming!” Li Qinghe’s heart sank.

She had been so absorbed in her thoughts earlier that she had forgotten to retract the array.

If too many people were drawn into the Illusionary Array, the situation would change entirely!

It would inevitably attract the attention of the library’s higher-ups!

Once they began investigating the anomaly, she, as the one who set up the array, would surely be implicated and might even be exposed!

“I have to stop the array immediately.”

Thinking this, Li Qinghe grew frantic with anxiety and hurriedly tried to withdraw the Starstone from the corner to prevent others from stepping into the Illusory Array.

Bzzz—

A series of low hums sounded.

The Starstone in the corner trembled faintly, responding slowly, like a heavy, outdated machine.

Both activating and retracting the array required a certain amount of time.

But now the guests had already reached Section 1, and it seemed they would step into the Illusory Array in just another minute. Time was incredibly tight!

“Hurry up…”

Li Qinghe’s face was full of urgency as she raised her hand to increase the release of Star Power, immediately regretting her actions.

If she hadn’t provoked Qin Yang, how could she have ended up in this situation?

Why, for no good reason…

did she have to mess with him?!

At this thought,

Li Qinghe’s eyes reddened, filled with deep regret. But now, the guests outside were slowly approaching, their light, unhurried footsteps like the soul-summoning bells of the King of Hell.

It seemed it was already too late for anything…

“Tsk, this girl’s current mastery of array formations is really lacking. Even retracting an array is this slow.”

In the corner, Qin Yang watched Li Qinghe’s flustered state and couldn’t help but stand up, holding Xiaobai.

Otherwise,

by the time this girl finished retracting the Illusory Array,

the guests would have long since stepped into the array and endured several rounds of illusion attacks.

At that point, whether the array was retracted or not would be a minor issue; the real trouble would be if a few guests in his Section 1 went mad!

“Forget it, retracting the array now is definitely too late.”

Qin Yang, holding Xiaobai, calculated the current situation.

‘Retracting the array’ was too by-the-book and too slow; directly ‘breaking the array’ would be faster and more decisive!

With this thought,

Qin Yang quickly walked to the corner, glanced at the Starstone on the ground, and observed its patterns.

Kan, Xun, Zhen, Kun—relying on the “True Array Decryption,” he deduced the method to break it, then directly picked up the Starstone, his fingertips brushing over the stone’s surface and sliding along the Array Inscriptions a few times.

The next moment.

Zap!

A strand of purple electricity flickered across the stone’s surface, breaking through at a single point!

The Starstone Array Inscriptions instantly became disordered, scrambling the entire array’s Star Power transmission, and several Starstones in the chain array dimmed!

Bzz—The illusory array formation of Sumeru shattered on the spot, dissolving into nothingness like a fleeting bubble!

“?!”

Hearing the sound of the array shattering beside her ears, Li Qinghe, who was still in the process of withdrawing the formation, was instantly dumbfounded, unable to react in time.

Meanwhile.

Within Qin Yang’s mind, the long-absent voice of the system resounded once more:

“Heavens! The host actually casually broke an Array Grandmaster’s formation!”
