343: When I become king, I will...

Luo Xi was in a panic, sending several messages in a row.

After a long while.

Jiang Yuan finally replied with one message.

"Do you want to come?"

Luo Xi was taken aback,

"?"

The next moment, ripples appeared in the space in front of her, and dreamy blue light spots emerged.

Under the astonished and bewildered gazes of the surrounding students.

A hand reached out from within, grabbed Luo Xi's shoulder, and pulled her in.

Plop.

A girl with twin pigtails had a dazed look in her eyes, completely unaware that the ice cream in her hand had fallen.

It was only after a long while that she reacted, screaming in terror:

"This is bad!"

"Student Luo Xi has been kidnapped!!"

"What?!"

...

The same scene occurred throughout the academy.

Several students disappeared in front of everyone at the same time.

After the bewildered instructors reported the matter.

They only received a reply of 'no need to worry'.

...

Inside Lin Qingyan's apartment.

Pulled out of the spatial vortex, Luo Xi lost her balance and plopped down onto the sofa, her long, fair legs, longer than human lives under her short skirt, shone brightly.

Jiang Yuan sat beside her.

Directly in front, Lin Qingyan stood leaning against the wall with her arms crossed.

"Where is this?"

Luo Xi asked, bewildered.

Lin Qingyan said indifferently: "My place."

Jiang Yuan smiled: "Didn't you say you wanted to come find me to play?"

"Wait, there are two more acquaintances."

Buzz!

The small blue fish beside Jiang Yuan melted into the space.

Immediately after.

Two more spatial vortexes appeared in the living room.

The figures of Ye Jiuling and Pei Congyun emerged from them.

Pei Congyun, with her long silver-white hair, blinked her big eyes, her beautiful and delicate face showing a bewildered expression, looking somewhat cute.

"Ah, huh?"

Ye Jiuling, dressed in a green robe with her long hair tied into a high ponytail, was also startled by the current situation.

"What's going on?"

"A party?"

"You'll have to ask him."

Lin Qingyan gestured towards Jiang Yuan with her chin, her gaze attracted by the small blue fish circling beside Jiang Yuan, her heart slightly trembling.

This small fish was actually a Quasi-King fierce pet, capable of making even her feel a hint of threat!

What was its origin?

Luo Xi, Ye Jiuling, and Pei Congyun turned their gazes towards Jiang Yuan, with a hint of inquiry.

"You should know that when I was in South River City, I joined a guild called Scarlet Rose, right?"

Jiang Yuan said.

Luo Xi nodded, she had heard about this.

Ye Jiuling, however, thought for a moment in her mind, she hadn't heard of a top-tier guild called Scarlet Rose in Great Xia.

"Just now, the Guild Leader of the guild sent me a message, saying that a member had lost contact in a Level Five Abyss, her name is Xu Yihan, she's also considered my Senior Sister, and hoped I could help investigate, but you also know I don't have time recently."

Jiang Yuan said.

He was also a bit surprised when he received the message from Ji Feiyue just now.

He didn't expect Senior Sister Xu to have gone missing.

"So I hope you can help me find her."

"Of, of course, no problem."

Pei Congyun held her staff, mustering her courage, but her voice was still very high-pitched and thin, completely like a well-behaved, cute silver-haired moe girl.

It was completely different from the appearance of a Necromancer she displayed on the battlefield.

There was an unusual contrast in cuteness.

Sitting on the sofa, Luo Xi, with her long white legs crossed left over right, also nodded, indicating she could help.

"Since she's your Senior Sister, then of course we should save her. With our current strength, clearing a Level Five Abyss is no problem. It's not a big deal."

Feeling the gazes of the others fall on her.

Ye Jiuling looked at Jiang Yuan and said:

"These two, one is a Four-star Mental Martial Artist, and the other is a Five-star Necromancer Summoner, should that be enough? Why did you call me over too?"

Luo Xi looked at Pei Congyun in surprise, she didn't expect her to be Five-star already.

"They have enough talent, but insufficient combat experience. With you leading the team, I'll be more at ease."

Jiang Yuan said.

"For you, it can also be considered an opportunity to go out and temper your Sword Dao, right? Just consider it a commission from me to you."

Hearing this, Ye Jiuling snorted lightly, saying somewhat haughtily:

"Although I'm not very familiar with you, seeing as you've shown me your Sword Dao, alright, I'll help you with this favor then."

"I won't let you work for nothing."

Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers.

Three items appeared before him.

A Six-star Moon God Flower that could increase mental power.

A Necromancy skill book.

A rare Meteorite Gold that could increase the sharpness and durability of weapons and equipment.

They flew towards the three respectively.

"This is your commission fee in advance."

Ye Jiuling's eyes lit up slightly, attracted by the palm-sized Meteorite Gold,

"So generous?"

Jiang Yuan smiled:

"As a Professor at the academy, it's a rare commission, I don't want the students to curse me for being stingy behind my back."

"Alright. Where is the location?"

"Jinzhou City, south of the Emperor Capital. There's only one Level Five Abyss there. You can go to the Emperor Capital first, and two other people will join you."

Jiang Yuan said.

The two people he mentioned were, of course, Shingu Yu and Ye.

For them, this was also a rare training opportunity without him by their side.

"I'll inform the school, no need to worry."

"Perfect, then I can also visit my mother on the way."

Luo Xi smiled, then remembered something, turned her head to look at Jiang Yuan and asked curiously: "Did you see her last time?"

"I did."

"Oh, I see. She seems to have been acting a bit strange recently, do you know what's going on?"

"Ah... uh... I'm not too sure about that."

Jiang Yuan recalled what had happened with Luo Ningyan, feeling uncharacteristically flustered, and quickly changed the subject,

"Hurry and put the items away, be careful I change my mind."

But this scene was noticed by Lin Qingyan.

Luo Xi and Pei Congyun then accepted the 'commission fee' before them.

Thinking of the upcoming Abyss trip, they also became uncharacteristically excited.

"It's been a long time since I've left school, this time I can finally seriously go down into an Abyss,"

"Me, me too. I'm really looking forward to it."

After chatting, the few of them exchanged contact information, added each other as friends, and went back to pack their things.

Jiang Yuan was the last to leave.

Before leaving.

Lin Qingyan said meaningfully:

"Luo Xi's mother is that Pharmacist Association Guild Leader in South River City, right? She's a very beautiful person... Are you on good terms with her?"

"Alright, why are you suddenly saying this?"

"Nothing. I just think you have quite the way with women, but that's understandable. After all, being able to rival a Quasi-King at less than twenty years old, it's only natural for women to flock to you."

"The way you're saying that, it sounds a bit like you're jealous?"

"Heh heh, I am a Reborn Empress, would I be jealous? I'm just afraid you'll focus all your thoughts on women and forget the mission we bear on our shoulders as Reborn ones."

"Even if I become useless, won't you still be here? I'll just cling to your leg then."

Jiang Yuan said with a chuckle, glancing at the straight, long black silk legs under her uniform.

Lin Qingyan smiled: "Want to touch?"

"I don't mind."

"If I could beat you, I'd definitely beat you to death."

"Then you probably won't have a chance."

"Hmph! Just you wait, when I become a King, I will definitely—"

"By the time you become a King, I might already be a God."

"..."
