Chapter 117 – Xiaobai: Why Does the Master's Aura Become More and More Terrifying?

The night was vast and starry.

Li Qinghe lay in the grass, gazing blankly at the starry sky above, a glimmer of tears at the corners of her eyes.

After a long while, she wiped the tear stains from her face, finally feeling her emotions settle, only to be replaced by a strange sense of humiliation.

Since she was a child, when had she ever suffered such bullying?

“And he even forced this young lady to call him… call him…”

At this thought, Li Qinghe’s face flushed with shame. In the end, she couldn’t bring herself to utter those two words, merely struggling to push herself up from the grass and sit upright.

So humiliating!

The scene from earlier was still vivid in her mind. How could she ever face Qin Yang again after this?

“Wuu… so humiliating.”

Li Qinghe glanced back at Qin Yang, her emotions a mix of shame and anger, then turned and ran straight out of the park.

In no time, her figure vanished into the boundless night.

…

“Tsk, that girl runs pretty fast.”

Qin Yang glanced at her fleeing figure, completely unconcerned.

After all, he had already received his reward.

It didn’t matter.

Next, it was time to return home and comprehend the spiritual charm of this Law Fragment.

With this thought.

Qin Yang brushed the dust off his pants and waved to Xiaobai, “Let’s go, Xiaobai. We’re done here.”

“Okay, Master.”

Xaiobai took a few quick bites to finish the cucumber she was eating, then picked up the grocery bag and hurried to Qin Yang’s side, affectionately rubbing against his clothes.

Buzz—

The next moment.

The space around them trembled as Qin Yang activated Close at Hand, and he and Xiaobai appeared several miles away, back at home.

“I’ll start cooking now, Master!”

Once home, Xiaobai swayed her hips as she carried a stool, briskly sorting through the fruits and vegetables in the bag, then took some frozen meat from the refrigerator.

Soon after.

Pots and pans clattered, and the kitchen filled with the sizzle of cooking oil.

The two days of confinement had been highly effective for Xiaobai’s reflection.

Before leaving for work each day, Qin Yang had deliberately cut off the internet and power, and even set up a sealing array at the door, using Draw Earth as Prison.

As a result, Xiaobai grew so bored that, after much reflection, she had completely transformed into a “fawning fox.”

Every day, she thought of nothing but pleasing her master, finally learning to behave.

“Not bad.”

Watching the busy figure in the kitchen, Qin Yang leaned back on the soft sofa, relaxing both body and mind. His consciousness sank into the Enlightenment Space, searching for the system reward he had just received.

At this moment.

In the Enlightenment Space.

At the very center, there was a void-like, shattered fissure, occupying the midpoint of the four directions and six dimensions, as if it were an unshakable law.

And this was the terrifying aspect of the Array Core.

If one were to say.

The True Array Decryption used mountains and hills to set up arrays, and the Seven Stars Array Diagram used the stars of the sky to draw lines.

Then this Array Core was the convergence of all things in heaven and earth into a single point.

Focusing on one point, reaching the pinnacle of perfection—all directions and positions used this Array Core as a reference to determine the fortunes and misfortunes of the world.

In the Enlightenment Space.

Qin Yang concentrated his attention, earnestly comprehending the mysteries of the Array Core Law.

In the depths of his mind, it seemed as if he had disturbed a subtle rhythm of nature.

The next moment.

Centered on him, within a radius of hundreds of miles, all things paid homage. The waves at the seaside shifted, the wind trembled lightly, and pine needles drifted down, generating an almost imperceptible gravitational pull.

The deviations in these trajectories were minuscule, nearly undetectable.

But quantity transforms into quality, accumulating bit by bit, subtly aligning with the changes of the Heavenly Law.At this moment, Qin Yang sat cross-legged on the sofa, breathing leisurely as if he had become the center of the universe.

Even for such a brief moment, the opportunity for enlightenment it offered was not to be underestimated. His already formidable mastery of Array Formations instantly advanced another level, touching the threshold of Seventh-Order Arrays.

A short while later.

With a long, drawn-out exhalation.

Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, emerging from his state of contemplation.

“Not bad, I can finally set up arrays now.”

Qin Yang nodded in satisfaction.

With the assistance of the Law Array Core and the Big Dipper Seven Stars Array Diagram, he could finally deploy the genuine Big Dipper Seven Stars Array.

Using the sky as paper and connecting the stars as lines, he would lay down a seventh-order grand array to summon divine punishment… Such immense karma drawn down.

How many could withstand it?

When the boundless Heavenly Law descends, even if you are a Supreme Realm expert who enters the array, there would be no place to hide—entering means certain death.

Kitchen.

Xiaobai carried plate after plate of braised pork ribs to the dining table when she suddenly frowned, detecting an unusual fluctuation in the air.

“Hmm? An illusion?”

As a member of the fox tribe, she was extremely sensitive to the flow of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Charm. The slightest change would alert her senses.

At this moment.

The spiritual charm in the room shifted faintly, gathering toward a certain location.

Seeing this.

Xiaobai followed the Spiritual Energy and glanced back at Qin Yang on the sofa, feeling somewhat puzzled.

“Strange?”

“Why does Master’s aura feel increasingly terrifying?”

…

…

The next day.

Qin Yang, holding Xiaobai, clocked in for work as usual.

But shortly after approaching the entrance, a familiar figure in Sector 2 caught his eye.

It was Li Qinghe.

At this moment, she looked haggard, pushing a book cart as she slowly emerged from between the bookshelves and passed by the entrance of Sector 1.

“Hmm? This girl still hasn’t run away?”

Qin Yang was somewhat surprised to see Li Qinghe.

Logically, she shouldn’t have come back to work.

After all, last night, he had thoroughly broken her defenses, even making her cry, grinding her self-esteem to dust.

Yet,

this girl still came to work?

“Tsk, it seems this Array Grandmaster’s mental fortitude is quite commendable.”

Li Qinghe, pushing the cart, noticed Qin Yang standing at the entrance and immediately recalled last night’s experience. Her expression turned sour, and she snorted coldly before turning her head away.

With many people in the library now,

she wasn’t afraid of Qin Yang bullying her.

Seeing this,

Qin Yang was amused and immediately stepped forward to block her path, saying, “Well-behaved disciple, why no greeting for your master?”

Hearing this,

Li Qinghe’s face turned ashen, her hands trembling slightly as she gripped the cart, but she remained silent and unresponsive, simply lowering her head in silence.

Acting as if she hadn’t seen him, she continued toward her destination.

Only after a while, when she was out of Qin Yang’s sight, did she let out a long sigh of relief.

“Finally escaped that Qin fellow.”

Li Qinghe sneakily glanced back to ensure no one was around, then pondered her next steps.

Her purpose in returning was, of course, to return the Myriad Formation Diagram.

She had gained much insight from this diagram, benefiting greatly, but it ultimately had to be returned.

Considering the timing,

her father would soon return from the Imperial Capital.

The Myriad Formation Diagram held a precious status in her family. If her father discovered it was missing, it would spell serious trouble.When the investigation eventually comes, it will cause a city-wide uproar, and it might even trace back to me.

“Hmph, once Father returns, everything will be easily resolved.”

Thinking of the humiliation from last night, Li Qinghe’s pretty face turned cold as she thought with some anger.

“Once Father returns, this young lady will file a complaint, reporting that you laze around and slack off every day!”

“You’re fired!”
