154: Chapter 154 That figure... is it Lin Mo?!

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a room in a remote slum of Lin'an City.

A figure appeared quietly.

The ink-green qipao, as well as the peculiar star-plucking mask, proved her identity.

It was none other than the Wandering Snake Star-Plucking Envoy who had escaped from the Orphanage not long ago.

But at this moment, there was no trace of the majesty of a King-level Expert on her.

Her aura was rapidly falling.

From the original King-level, it kept dropping.

Ninth rank!

Eighth rank!

Apart from the change in strength, even the color of the qipao she wore was shifting.

From ink-green, it turned into light green.

Her aura finally fell to the limit.

Sixth rank...

It only finally stopped after falling to the third stage of the sixth rank.

She took off her mask.

Revealing an exquisite face.

If Lin Mo were present right now, he would definitely recognize it.

This face...

It was Song Waner who had assisted him in completing the contract at The Exchange!

However, at this moment, there was not a trace of blood on this face.

Pale as paper.

Even her footsteps became incredibly unsteady; there was a look of intense unwillingness on her face.

"That egg..."

"How could it be like this? Whether it's Lin Mo's strength... or that mysterious expert..."

From the first moment she saw that egg, Song Waner had been completely captivated.

She could clearly feel that the snake inside that egg was definitely not an ordinary item.

Even the giant python she had contracted in her hands could not compare to it.

As long as she could contract this egg, she knew her future limits would obtain a terrifying boost!

It was just a pity that at that time inside The Exchange, she could not make a move against Lin Mo.

She could only help Lin Mo complete the contract first.

But she had actually secretly tampered with it.

As long as she could get this egg, she could change the course of events and forcibly alter the owner of the contract.

That was why the sudden attack on Lin Mo happened.

Her goal from the very beginning was the egg.

It was never Lin Mo's talent.

And certainly not Lin Mo's life.

She just didn't expect...

That Lin Mo had hidden talents around him, and even less did she expect that Lin Mo's own strength was actually so powerful!

Puchi...

Song Waner suddenly felt a sweetness in her throat, and a mouthful of fresh blood was uncontrollably sprayed out.

After spitting out this blood, Song Waner's already pale complexion became even more like a female ghost.

Her figure was tottering.

She muttered in a low voice: "This is trouble. I borrowed too much this time, and for too long; I fear it has already affected my foundation. I probably won't be able to use my talent for the next three months. I must rest well."

Saying this, Song Waner lay on the bed.

A sixth-rank giant python didn't know where it crawled out from either.

One person and one snake snuggled on the bed just like that.

Their body temperatures gradually dropped.

They had actually both entered some kind of eerie hibernation state.

Early the next morning.

Lin Mo and Su Youwei stepped onto the teleportation array heading to Imperial Capital Academy.

Outside the array.

Were the four grandfathers and Su Qianxue.

"After you settle down in Shengjing City, remember to send us a message!" First Grandfather exhorted Lin Mo with a reluctant look.

"You must remember!"

Lin Mo nodded heavily.

Then he looked at Su Qianxue again, and before Lin Mo could speak, Su Qianxue had already taken the initiative to say: "Rest assured, I have already asked people inside Starfire to investigate."

"I believe there will be results soon."

"You two stay well in Shengjing City for a couple of days; it is safer there."

"Besides..." Su Qianxue's gaze fell on Su Youwei, "Youwei, don't forget what I reminded you about."

A rosy blush appeared on Su Youwei's cheeks, and she nodded.

Just as Lin Mo wanted to ask what the matter was, the teleportation array had already started.

After a bout of dizziness.

When Lin Mo opened his eyes again, he found that the surroundings had changed drastically.

They had arrived at Shengjing City!

Su Youwei beside him was experiencing this kind of teleportation for the first time, and coupled with her physical fitness being much worse than Lin Mo's, she almost fell to the ground directly.

It was Lin Mo who supported her and took her away from the teleportation array.

Only after breathing the fresh air outside did Su Youwei feel much better.

Lin Mo then asked about the curious matter just now.

Su Youwei blushed, "Little Aunt... told me not to..."

"Not to what?" Lin Mo's expression was even more confused.

"Aiya..." Su Youwei stamped her feet, "It's just... not to get a room with you again..."

Lin Mo suddenly realized.

This meant not to get one room again.

Actually, it meant not to do the deed again.

Lin Mo hooked his lips into a smile, but seeing Su Youwei so embarrassed, he comforted her: "Don't worry, last time was an accident, I couldn't hold back, I was carried away by emotion."

"I won't be that foolish again."

Su Youwei opened her mouth.

Subconsciously wanting to say... actually, it... wasn't foolish...

After all, for her... actually... it was... very... comfortable.

But just as she was about to say it, her Little Aunt's exhortations echoed in her mind.

Men are all the same.

If you give it to him easily, he definitely won't cherish it properly.

So you must save it.

You cannot give it to him so easily again.

The words that had already reached her throat were forcibly suppressed by Su Youwei, and in the end, only one remained, "Mm."

"Then let's go," Lin Mo smiled and took Su Youwei's hand.

"It just so happens I haven't been to Shengjing City yet, school hasn't started, let's go understand the situation around here."

"Then... get a room."

Before Su Youwei could speak, Lin Mo added himself: "Of course, two rooms."

"Okay..."

The two walked along the street together.

And at this moment, at the other end of the street.

A black-haired girl with a white jade hairpin was boredly kicking the stones under her feet.

Beside her, there was another stunning beauty, and on the back of the beauty's right hand was a pale cyan sword mark.

It was none other than Gu Rongyu and Jiang Mengxi!

Jiang Mengxi looked at Gu Rongyu kicking stones, her expression carrying a hint of helplessness.

Originally, after the team trial ended, they should have gone their separate ways.

But she didn't expect Gu Rongyu to think that going straight back to Tianshui City was too boring.

So she simply followed them back to Shengjing City.

Coming to Shengjing City was one thing, but school hadn't even started yet.

Gu Rongyu was unfamiliar with everything here and didn't know anyone.

She could only look for people from their team.

Luo Siyue didn't have time to accompany her due to arrangements within the academy.

So Gu Rongyu found Jiang Mengxi.

If it were a normal situation, Jiang Mengxi would definitely have refused.

Accompanying someone to play was not as good as killing monsters to grind resources and level up.

But as it happened, this person was Gu Rongyu.

She originally held guilt towards Gu Rongyu in her heart.

After all, she had slept with someone else's boyfriend.

So she could only agree.

Unexpectedly, this shopping was truly boring...

Jiang Mengxi shook her head helplessly, but the corner of her eye suddenly noticed the familiar figure that flashed past a corner at the other end of the street.

"Eh? That figure..."

"Is... is it Lin Mo?"
