347: Chapter 347 The Melancholy of Tantai Qingyue

"Awoo!"

Qiao Beibei gripped the Tier 8 corpse core in her hand, her bright eyes filled with deep anticipation.

In this Doomsday World, strength is everything.

As a Tier 6 Ability User, she was too weak.

Everywhere she went, she was a burden, a dead weight to her Beautiful Master.

If she could achieve a Breakthrough to a Tier 8 Lightning Ability User, she could help her Beautiful Master!

Qiao Beibei returned to the flat where they were staying, looked at Dantai Qingyue and Qin Ge, and said, "I'm going to do my Breakthrough now, you two act as my Protectors!"

After saying this, she sat cross-legged on the floor, placed the corpse core in her palm, closed her beautiful eyes slightly, and began to absorb the special energy within the corpse core with each breath.

Dantai Qingyue watched Qiao Beibei calmly, then walked with graceful steps toward the soft sofa.

Qin Ge reached out, grabbed Dantai Qingyue's arm, and said with a playful smirk, "Is it time for us to fulfill our bet?"

Anyone with eyes could see that Dantai Qingyue had intentionally interrupted his intimacy with Qiao Beibei just now.

Since, in Dantai Qingyue's eyes, he was not a good match.

And would cause Qiao Beibei to fall too deeply.

Then there was no other choice.

Since Dantai Qingyue didn't want Qiao Beibei to suffer, then Dantai Qingyue would just have to suffer a little herself!

Dantai Qingyue frowned, "When did I ever agree to a bet with you?"

Qin Ge was not surprised; he simply pointed in Qiao Beibei's direction and said softly, "Don't disturb Qiao Beibei while she focuses on her Breakthrough. Let's discuss our business in private."

He turned his head and walked toward one of the bedrooms in the flat.

As soon as he entered the room, a faint, clean fragrance wafted toward him.

The room was bright and clean, and the quilt was folded neatly.

This was where Dantai Qingyue was staying; it was clear that she was very tidy.

After Dantai Qingyue entered, Qin Ge closed the door, tilted his head, stared into her cold, beautiful eyes, and said with a playful look, "You didn't agree to the bet, but you didn't refuse it either!"

"Furthermore, you even took the initiative to appear in front of Luo Chen!"

Dantai Qingyue frowned, "That was because a Tier 8 zombie had appeared!"

She narrowed her beautiful eyes, her gaze becoming increasingly cold, "Besides, why did this dormant Tier 8 zombie have to show up at this specific moment?"

Qin Ge did not try to hide it; he shrugged and admitted it decisively, "I woke it up."

"But if Luo Chen hadn't fallen for you, are you sure you wouldn't have used this as leverage to force me to help you deal with those invaders?"

"Hoo—"

Dantai Qingyue parted her lips slightly, forming an 'O' shape, and slowly exhaled a breath of cool air.

She furrowed her brows, staring at Qin Ge before her.

Indeed, it was just as Qin Ge said.

If Luo Chen had held his ground.

She was afraid she would have used this bet as an excuse to make Qin Ge help.

After all, those invaders were very strong, and she wasn't entirely confident she could eliminate them on her own.

She tried her best to calm her turbulent emotions, slowly stepped forward, looked at Qin Ge's resolute face, stood on her tiptoes, and planted a light, dragonfly-like kiss on his lips.

Then she quickly stepped back, pursed her moist lips, and said with an even tighter frown, "You won."

"I have fulfilled the bet."

"From now on, we are even."

Qin Ge's eyes widened, he reached out to touch his own lips, stared at Dantai Qingyue—in whose eyes a flash of shyness had appeared—and said in surprise, "Are you for real?"

"The bet I mentioned was just for you to kiss my cheek; you went all out, didn't you?"

Of course, Qin Ge was lying.

It was hard enough to make Dantai Qingyue suffer a setback.

How could he possibly let Dantai Qingyue just kiss his cheek?

Kissing his little Qin Ge wouldn't even be too much.

But at this moment, hadn't Dantai Qingyue controlled her turbulent emotions?

If he said that, wouldn't it make Dantai Qingyue feel like she had been taken advantage of?

No one likes to feel like they've lost out.

Even this cold Fairy before him was no exception!

"Ding! Guardian Dantai Qingyue has developed feelings of resentment toward the Host. The Host is rewarded with 100,000 villain points!"

The reward arrived.

Qin Ge couldn't help but brighten up.

Another 100,000 villain points!

Dantai Qingyue was just so lucrative!

She was practically a gold mine.

So far, the villain points provided by Dantai Qingyue had never been less than six figures!

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

Dantai Qingyue frowned. Beneath her simple dress, the fair, hemispherical curves beneath her jade-like collarbone were faintly visible.

Qin Ge pouted shamelessly, "You didn't ask me!"

"At worst, I'll return your first kiss."

"Just kiss my cheek once, and we'll be even!"

Dantai Qingyue stepped back two paces, stared into Qin Ge's deep eyes, and said with increasing indignation, "Can you stop being so shameless? Can you have the demeanor a strong person should have?"

"First kiss? You still have your first kiss?"

Not to mention anything else,

Just a moment ago, when he was detoxifying her, Qin Ge had taken advantage of her for quite a while!

"Of course I do," Qin Ge said amusedly, "It just refreshed, why wouldn't it count?"

Dantai Qingyue glared at Qin Ge resentfully and whispered angrily, "Shameless."

"Boom—"

Just then, a dull rumble of thunder sounded outside.

Dantai Qingyue and Qin Ge rushed out of the room immediately, and all the floor-to-ceiling windows in the flat were shattered.

As far as the eye could see, shards of glass covered the floor.

Qiao Beibei, who had originally been sitting cross-legged on the ground, was now floating above the open space outside, looking like a jade statue.

Above her head, thick thunderclouds were gathering.

Thick, python-like lightning snakes slithered behind the heavy thunderclouds, crackling and popping.

"Lightning Tribulation?"

"A Tier 8 Lightning Ability User's strength, looking across the Dragon Country and within the Hidden Sects, is barely more than a middle-tier pillar."

"With this level of strength, how could it trigger a Lightning Tribulation?"

"And such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation at that?"

Dantai Qingyue looked up, gazing at the lightning snakes darting through the heavy thunderclouds, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise.

This did not align with her past understanding of Cultivation.

Moreover, this was not a Lightning Tribulation for Rebirth and body reconstruction after bathing in lightning.

It was destructive.

It was a destructive Lightning Tribulation meant to strike Qiao Beibei dead!

"This must be because of the person, right?"

Qin Ge narrowed his eyes, looking at the heavy thunderclouds.

In the plot he knew, Qiao Beibei, upon reaching a Breakthrough to a Tier 8 Ability User, did not trigger a Lightning Tribulation.

But now, Qiao Beibei had met Dantai Qingyue, and her control over lightning had become inconsistent with the plot.

In that case, it must be that if Qiao Beibei succeeded in her Breakthrough now, she would cause earth-shattering changes in the future.

Therefore, a Lightning Tribulation had descended to strike Qiao Beibei dead!?

Beneath the heavy thunderclouds, Qiao Beibei floated in mid-air.

"Crackle—"

Slender lightning snakes wrapped around her from a distance, pinning her firmly in place, leaving Qiao Beibei unable to move in the slightest.

"Gulp!"

Qiao Beibei swallowed in terror, turned her head to look toward Dantai Qingyue, her beautiful eyes filled with tears and panic, her voice trembling, "Beautiful Master, I... I'm scared!"

"Roar—"

The thunderclouds shook, and a thick lightning snake, like a bolt from the blue, poured down.

"Beautiful Master!!!"

Qiao Beibei screamed in terror and squeezed her eyes shut in fear.

Dantai Qingyue tapped her feet on the ground, leaped up while wielding a pale red longsword, and slashed toward the descending lightning snake from the air.

"Swish—"

The sword light whistled out, cutting the thick lightning snake in half.

"Bang—"

The lightning snake exploded, turning into endless lightning power that crackled and popped in the surrounding air.

However, before Qiao Beibei and Dantai Qingyue could breathe a sigh of relief.

They saw a lightning snake in the heavy thunderclouds, even thicker than the previous one, as thick as a water bucket, no longer striking toward Qiao Beibei, but instead shooting violently toward Dantai Qingyue.
