Chapter 1917 - 1916: Black Bead

From the way Jiu Jie was acting, Qin Feng had already guessed this Illusion Technique was one that inflicts pain.

And the source of that pain wasn’t the body, but the mind—that’s why it used nails to pierce the heart.

Combined with the Illusion Realm created by the Dream God on the Taiji Spaceship, which directly targets the greedy desires in a person’s heart, correspondingly, this Illusion Technique directly targets a person’s inner fear, digging out the terror buried deep in the heart.

And right now, Nami kept shouting for them not to kill Qin Feng.

Which meant that the thing she feared most in her heart was something happening to Qin Feng.

So Qin Feng couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion.

"Alright, you can wake up now."

Qin Feng went over, helped her up, and gently shook her. Nami woke from the Illusion Realm.

She opened her eyes in a daze, and when she saw Qin Feng right beside her, tears instantly welled up. She threw herself into Qin Feng’s arms and burst into sobs: "Qin Feng, you’re alright... It’s so great that you’re alright, I was so worried about you..."

Soon her tears soaked through his clothes.

Qin Feng gently patted her shoulder to comfort her: "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

After quite a while.

Nami’s emotions finally calmed down somewhat. After Qin Feng explained, she realized she’d been trapped in an Illusion Realm all this time, and had been stuck here for a very long time.

"Let’s get out of here!"

Qin Feng stood up and said.

"Then how about giving me this Bead?"

The Ghost Lady bent down and picked up a black Pearl from the ground.

All the illusions just now were triggered by this black Pearl, and even all the "Evil Ghosts" they ran into before had appeared because of it. It contained extremely powerful Extreme Yin Qi.

Qin Feng knew that for the Yunkong Sect, Extreme Yin Qi could boost cultivation.

"Of course."

Qin Feng shrugged and said, "If you want it, there are eleven more. Why don’t you go take care of them?"

"Tsk tsk, hubby is still the best!"

The Ghost Lady’s lips curled into a playful arc. She shot Qin Feng a seductive look, then leaned in and lightly kissed his cheek.

"..."

Qin Feng was stunned.

She actually dared to ambush him...

And with so many people around, it was seriously embarrassing.

"Hurry up and tell me where the rest of the Pearls are?"

The Ghost Lady asked again.

Qin Feng was speechless about her sneak attack just now, so he deliberately strung her along and didn’t answer.

Unexpectedly.

The Ghost Lady also suddenly leaned in and pecked his cheek, then laughed, "That should be enough, right?"

"You..."

Qin Feng was furious.

She actually thought he was refusing to tell her because he wanted this kind of "reward"!

"Oh? Don’t tell me you still want... that? In that case you’ll have to wait till tonight!"

The Ghost Lady added.

Pff!

Qin Feng almost spat old blood.

F*ck!

He really couldn’t keep dragging this out with her, it was way too embarrassing!

He hurriedly told her the locations of the other eleven Beads—or to be precise, the locations of the remaining eleven Ghost Domains.

Corresponding to Taichu Immortal City, there were Twelve Ghost Realms.

This was just one of them, there were still eleven left.

Now that Qin Feng had already rescued Nami, he wasn’t interested in the remaining eleven Ghost Domains anymore, but if they wanted to completely obtain Taichu Immortal City, they had to clear all Twelve Ghost Realms.

So having the Ghost Lady and the others handle them was perfectly fitting.

After all, the Twelve Ghost Realms were all Extreme Yin Qi. For her, dealing with them was a piece of cake—she could just absorb those "Evil Ghosts" like she did earlier.

She just accidentally got caught by the Illusion Technique just now; the remaining eleven Ghost Domains should no longer have Illusion Techniques.

As for giving her all twelve Pearls containing such powerful Extreme Yin Qi?

Qin Feng had never been stingy with his own people.

"Alright!"

After the Ghost Lady finished listening to Qin Feng’s explanation of the remaining black Pearls’ locations, she gave Qin Feng another kiss on the cheek and said enchantingly, "Then we’ll head out first. Tonight, I’ll fulfill your wishes."

With that, she and Ding Lan and Shuang’er left ahead.

"..."

Qin Feng felt unspeakably depressed inside.

Nami was looking at Qin Feng with a strange expression now. Qin Feng hurried to explain: "Don’t get the wrong idea, it’s not what you’re thinking, she, she..."

Before he could finish, Nami let out a silly little laugh and cut him off, saying, "The fact that you’re explaining actually makes me really happy, so you don’t need to explain!"

"...Explain what?" Qin Feng was puzzled.

"Of course you explaining to me. It shows you care about me in your heart. But you need to know, I won’t mind any of that."

Nami said this with a very serious face.

"..."

Qin Feng was completely speechless.

No matter how he explained now, it was pointless.

"Let’s just withdraw for now!"

Qin Feng decided not to discuss this topic anymore.

Just then.

Nami suddenly felt a wave of dizziness and almost collapsed into Qin Feng’s arms.

Qin Feng quickly asked, "What’s wrong?"

"It’s fine, my body’s just a little weak," Nami said feebly.

Qin Feng looked closely and saw that her face was deathly pale, with no color in her lips either. She truly looked extremely weak, so he quickly said, "Let me check!"

He was just taking her pulse.

Nami looked up and said, "It’s nothing serious, I’ve just been trapped here too long. I’ll be fine after some rest... Or, or..."

Her face flushed as she spoke, and she lowered her head again, muttering, "Or, if I could use your ’Dragon Saliva’, I could recover."

Qin Feng had already finished taking her pulse, feeling rather awkward, and said, "It’s fine, you’ll be alright after a good meal once we get out."

After leaving the Ghost Domain, Qin Feng first took Nami to a restaurant in Taichu Immortal City for a proper meal.

Even though she’d been in an Illusion Realm, her body hadn’t eaten anything for a very long time, so she was malnourished and that’s why she was so weak.

After the meal.

Sure enough, Nami recovered a lot, and even Lin, whose stamina had been drained, had also fully recovered.

Just as Qin Feng expected, the Ghost Lady, Ding Lan, and Shuang’er had already easily cleared the remaining Twelve Ghost Realms, gathered all the black Pearls, and came to the tavern to find them.

"Very good. Now that the Twelve Ghost Realms have been taken care of, the mission here is complete. Let’s get ready to part ways!" Qin Feng said.

"Part ways? Why would we part ways?"

The Ghost Lady smiled charmingly and said, "Didn’t you say tonight you still wanted... that?"

"..."

Qin Feng was speechless.

Seeing his embarrassed look, the Ghost Lady found it really amusing and said, "Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. From now on, we’ll just follow you."

"Oh?"

Qin Feng didn’t understand and asked, "Why would you follow me? From here on out, sticking with me will be very dangerous."

From what he remembered, the Yunkong Sect and the Three Corpses Sect, the Turtle Breath Sect, and the others were all the same—they weren’t interested in worldly affairs, only in their own pursuits. Back when the nine world Peak Organizations all tried to recruit Yun Kong Temple and the Yunkong Sect, they refused to join.

And now they wanted to follow him.

"You heard what Senior Ji Mie said too. We want to find our founder’s ’heart’ and need to go to the Upper Realm to look for that ’Immortal Tree’. Ding Lan and Shuang’er said you have a way to enter the Upper Realm, so of course we’re following you." The Ghost Lady said with a smile.

"Uh..."

Qin Feng thought about it and could only agree.

After all, they got along well, so he couldn’t exactly refuse to help.
