The Secret of the Remaining Picture

Following Black Peng, turning left and right, they arrived in front of a white steel building, outside of which stood a group of black-robed figures, just like the ones Ye Chen first saw with Kong Xi following behind her.

Black Peng cupped his hands to greet everyone.

Looking at the stern building, Ye Chen suddenly felt that Kong Xi hadn't lied about being monitored; these people really looked like they were supervising Kong Xi.

Upon entering, the environment inside was vastly different from the outside, with lush trees and colorful flowers, like a garden.

Inside one of the houses, Kong Xi was lying on a high-tech chair.

The interior was filled with high-tech equipment; one might think they had entered a science museum.

"Lady Kong Xi, Mr. Ye Chen has arrived."

Black Peng approached Kong Xi and said respectfully.

Kong Xi looked up at Ye Chen, then waved her hand at Black Peng, signaling him to leave.

Black Peng retreated outside the door and closed it.

"Sit," Kong Xi said with a smile, rising to face Ye Chen.

At this moment, Kong Xi appeared very amiable and approachable, completely different from the Kong Xi he had seen in the mysterious world.

Ye Chen didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.

"How was your harvest this time?"

Kong Xi asked with a spring in her eyes.

Ye Chen didn't answer Kong Xi's question, directly asking, "Your Excellency Kong Xi, you said you had news of Aoun. Please speak plainly; there's no point in beating around the bush here."

Kong Xi said with a smile, "Ye Chen, you're really impatient. What? Can't you talk to me a bit longer? Am I not pretty enough? Not pleasing to your eye?"

Whoosh, the sound of a skirt swishing echoed as Kong Xi crossed her legs, her skirt lifting and resting on her thigh, revealing her entire jade leg.

Through the slit in her skirt, half of Kong Xi's buttocks could be seen.

"Does it look good?" Kong Xi asked seductively, her eyes like silk.

She expected Ye Chen to be a bit embarrassed, but to her surprise, Ye Chen directly said, "It looks good, very nice, quite fair."

"..."

Kong Xi's eyes widened, and she said indignantly, "Ye Chen, you really dare to say that!"

"You dared to ask, so why wouldn't I dare to say? Weren't you intentionally showing me? It is indeed quite fair. Did I say something wrong?"

Ye Chen said with a mischievous smile.

"You! Pervert!" Kong Xi cursed, putting her crossed legs down, and her skirt once again covered her jade legs.

"So stingy, you only let me look for a moment!"

Ye Chen had to take the initiative, otherwise, he would definitely be led by the nose by Kong Xi.

"Stop with the lewd talk. I really misjudged you. Don't you want to know Aoun's whereabouts?"

"Yes."

"Hand over the incomplete map you obtained, and I'll tell you Aoun's whereabouts."

Kong Xi extended her hand and looked at Ye Chen as she spoke.

"Incomplete map? What incomplete map?"

Clap!

Kong Xi slapped the table, "Of course, it's the incomplete map Aoun gave you. Give me the incomplete map, and I'll tell you Aoun's whereabouts."

Ye Chen suddenly remembered the incomplete map.

"You know the purpose of that incomplete map?"

"Nonsense, of course, I know. If I didn't know, would I be asking you for it? Hand over the incomplete map, and I'll tell you Aoun's whereabouts."

Kong Xi said with an undeniable tone.

"I can give it to you, but first, tell me the purpose of the incomplete map, and then I'll hand it over to you."

"Why are you bargaining with me?" Kong Xi looked at Ye Chen with cold eyes.

Ye Chen said disdainfully, "Why can't I? Please, you are currently bargaining with me. You called me here. Aoun and I have only met a few times; our relationship isn't very deep."

"Lies, if your relationship isn't deep, you wouldn't have come!"

Kong Xi retorted.

Ye Chen lay back in the chair and said indifferently, "I came because Aoun once promised to make me a mythical weapon that suited me. Now I have a mythical weapon; it's just a bit awkward to use, but I'll get used to it over time."

Seeing Ye Chen's indifferent attitude, Kong Xi felt annoyed.

"Your Excellency Kong Xi, you called me here, you want the incomplete map, you are asking me for a favor. Is this how you ask for a favor?"

Ye Chen stood up and looked at Kong Xi with a mocking expression.

Kong Xi was furious, "I'm asking you? What are you that I would ask you? Do you believe I'll kill you right now!"

Swish, swish!

Blood Asura and Dark Ji suddenly appeared.

Ye Chen sneered, "You're welcome to try. We can have a fight and see."

"Heh heh, no wonder. So both pets have leveled up to LV74. It seems you've gained quite a lot from this trip, hmph!"

Kong Xi's beautiful brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure showed on her flawless face.

"I have you to thank for that, haha. Alright, let's not waste time. If you don't speak, I'm leaving."

Ye Chen lazily lay back in the chair.

"Hmph, what if I tell you? The full name of that incomplete map is the Heaven and Earth River Diagram. It records the thirteen treasures left behind by the 13 Creation Gods. No one knows the purpose of obtaining the thirteen treasures, but it's certain that the thirteen treasures possess the energy to create heaven and earth. That incomplete map is only one piece; it's useless to you."

Kong Xi finally conceded and spoke.

"13 Creation Gods? thirteen treasures?" Ye Chen's heart trembled.

Seeing Ye Chen's somewhat shocked expression, Kong Xi inexplicably felt a sense of comfort and laughed, "What? Surprised? There are many things in this world you don't know yet. There are a total of thirty-six pieces of the incomplete map, and you only have one. It's useless to you. Why not give it to me? If you give it to me, not only will I tell you Aoun's whereabouts, but I can also give you a treasure."

With that, Kong Xi took out a water droplet-shaped item: Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew!

"It's Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew! It's exactly the important material needed to refine Earth Fire. I didn't expect Kong Xi to actually have Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew."

Ye Chen's heart filled with joy.

Kong Xi smiled, "This Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew is a top-tier Heavenly Grade material, very rare!"

Although she said this, Kong Xi secretly sneered in her heart, "Fool, the only use for this Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew is to refine flames. It's useless to you, but unfortunately, this Heavenly Sweet Forest Dew is rare."

Ye Chen, however, said calmly, "Alright, since you put it that way, it's useless for me to keep it. But I still have a doubt: I've looked at that incomplete map, but there's no matching place on the world map."

"Is there a mark on your map?"

"Yes!"

Kong Xi's heart filled with joy; she hadn't expected the incomplete map in Ye Chen's hand to have a mark.

One must know that there are thirty-six pieces of the incomplete map, and those with marks indicate that a treasure is there. There are only thirteen treasures.

Therefore, incomplete maps with marks are extremely precious.

Kong Xi was in a much better mood and didn't hide anything: "That's because it's the world map after the world fusion. Monster World hasn't merged with this world yet, so it's natural that you can't find the corresponding location."

Ye Chen let out an "oh" and finally understood.
