Chapter 889 - 839: The Demise of the Ziwei Star! (Part 3)

Night falls.

In the winter night, the temperature warmed slightly near the year’s end, no longer as bone-chilling as before.

The cool night breeze gently blew as Qin Fan and Amber walked into the school.

After transforming and storing dozens of Magic Artifacts, Qin Fan lay down on the sofa on the ninth floor of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea and fell asleep.

Although cultivators like him at the Nascent Soul stage can generally forego sleep.

It cannot be denied that sleeping often remains quite comfortable!

And this nap took him right until seven at night.

Chen Jinlong, unaware of the situation, saw Qin Fan and Amber leave the Dragon Palace of the East Sea one after the other, and thought with a mischievous laugh that the two had been up to something on the ninth floor.

"Amber, starting tomorrow, you’ll be responsible for Yinuo’s safety. Remember—no matter what methods you employ, as long as she’s not with me, under no circumstances can you let her disappear from your protective range! This is a time of unrest, and I don’t want any unexpected incidents!"

Walking along the campus cobblestone path, Qin Fan said solemnly.

"Rest assured, Master, even if you hadn’t told me, I know what to do! Anyone who tries to harm Miss Jiang will have to step over my dead body!" Amber replied with fierce determination.

Even though it wasn’t entirely her fault that Jiang Yino was kidnapped last time because she fell to Chen Tiansheng.

It still left a shadow in her heart.

"With your Martial Arts Cultivation, if the opponent is a strong enemy, I’m afraid you might struggle to resist! My demand isn’t high, just make sure to signal for help when in danger, even if just mentally, and I can rush over to resolve the crisis immediately! The current situation is so variable, I don’t want to harshly demand you to accomplish miracles, at least grant Yinuo a chance to call for help!" Qin Fan shook his head and said.

Child of the Heavenly Dao.

He can easily control even the middle stage of the God Realm.

Though he exterminated several Demi Immortals connected to Qilian, the Child of the Heavenly Dao might still have tricks up his sleeve.

Especially considering he’s someone who could withstand fifty percent of the peak Golden Core power, only taking a step or two back, Qin Fan couldn’t afford to be careless.

If he acted personally, Amber might not even see a trace of him before falling!

This is Qin Fan’s concern!

Reason tells him he should negotiate with the Six Paths to handle the possible rampage of the Child of the Heavenly Dao.

At the very least, see if the Six Paths can help detain the Child of the Heavenly Dao.

Yet his pride prevents him from lowering himself.

Unexpectedly, this pride led him into an endless abyss of hell, a psychological abyss!

"Yes, Master! Even if it costs my life, Amber will protect Miss Jiang completely!"

Sensing the rare gravity in Qin Fan’s words, Amber dared not speak frivolously.

Responded with sincerity and anxiety.

In the unknown, under Qin Fan’s unusual demeanor, she seemed to perceive an ominous storm looming.

The phrase ’time of unrest,’ the assertion of many variables in the current situation, clearly shows even the Master finds it thorny!

"Alright, you head back to the campus supermarket first! Call on them tomorrow and contact me for arrangements on protective targets in the shadows!"

Shaking his head, not continuing on this topic, Qin Fan exhaled and said.

Then, parting ways with Amber, he took out his phone to call Yinuo.

"Old Qin, you’re fierce! Not contacting me all day, playing your tactic of appearing and disappearing like a Divine Dragon again, aren’t you?" As soon as the call connected, Jiang Yino’s dissatisfied voice immediately arrived.

"No, no way! Didn’t I return to the dorm last night, where a few fellows gathered drinking beer, so I had no choice but to join in, and we ended up drinking nearly all night! I didn’t drink much, I was keeping them company! Unexpectedly, I accompanied them until dawn, and then, after handling their intoxication, I wanted to sleep in the dorm, but the snoring almost blew up the dorm, so I had no choice but to rent a room outside and slept until now! Just returned to campus—are you in the dorm? Come out and let’s take a romantic stroll!"

Qin Fan, serious in his antics, effortlessly fabricated an elaborate story.

Without a blush, breathless, unwavering—speaking as though genuine.

"Crazy! Reckless! Even if you didn’t drink much, you shouldn’t drink until dawn with them. You’re aware they became insensate from it; if something happened due to the drinking, what would you do? I’m telling you—never again, okay?" Jiang Yino retorted.

"Indeed, you’re right, I promise not to act recklessly with them again! So, are you in the dorm or not? I’m waiting outside the dormitory building, we haven’t had a night out in Jinling for a long time, let’s catch a movie, have some western food, perhaps roam the streets together!" Qin Fan said playfully, carefree.

Reaching the female dormitory area, he stopped walking.

"Smart move, you still possess some romantic instincts, alright, wait up—I’ll change clothes and come down!" Jiang Yino exuberantly replied.

Girls, young girls, those who fell in love.

Who wouldn’t yearn for romance?

Who wouldn’t cherish endearing exchanges?

Unfortunately, Qin Fan was too busy.

So busy that meeting him at times was challenging.

This rare moment of enlightenment, Jiang Yino had every reason to be filled with joy.

Ending the call, she quickly changed, her face radiant with happiness.

Regarding the teasing from Ou Mingsi and Du Ruanqing.

She had already built immunity.

Opting out of mature and flashy attire.

With a light makeup, dressed in casual wear, wearing casual shoes.

Jiang Yino radiated happiness as she walked swiftly out of the dormitory.

Regarding the active-participation question in emotional matters, she clearly chose not to dwell on it.

With Qin Fan, she had long since fallen!

...

Jiangzhou.

As Qin Fan and Jiang Yino left the campus in an enviable closeness.

On the top floor of a mansion in Jiangzhou.

Lai Zhuge, originally leisurely stargazing and enjoying wine, suddenly widened his eyes.

The small wine cup in his hand fell and shattered on the ground.

But he disregarded it.

And instead jumped up in disbelief!

His gaze towards the stars revealed an extremely rare look of astonishment and fear!

"The Ziwei Star, the Ziwei Star is dimming! How can this be, how can this be!"

Suddenly.

He darted out of the pavilion.

Staring at the Ziwei Star, which began dimming in his field of vision, shouting in panic.

Yet his panicked cries did nothing to change the declining state of the Ziwei Star.

Suddenly—

He swiftly turned around, trembling as he picked up the Compass on the stone table.

Biting his fingertip, he let the blood drop onto the Compass surface.

Then quickly drew obscure and incomprehensible images on the Compass surface.

A moment later, an eerie occurrence—the blood vanished from the Compass surface.

As if it had never dripped.

Instead, the needle inside the Compass glowed with a dazzling silver light.

Yet this was not the end.

With the silver light shining, Lai Zhuge quickly moved his lips, reciting incantations rapidly.

When the incantations ended.

He bit his fingertip again and wiped it on his forehead!

Swoosh—!

An inaudible swoosh rang and flashed.

Then an indistinct Red Light shone on his forehead between his brows.

The Heavenly Eye—activated!

Even though this shortens his lifespan, the celestial sign compelled him to take this longevity-shortening action!

Finally, he slapped a hand on the Compass surface!

The hand slapped on the Compass then slid towards the starry sky direction!

Suddenly.

The Compass pointer radiating silver light spun swiftly!

Beams of silver light shot straight to the starry sky!

Plus, with his activated Heavenly Eye.

The celestial phenomena in the sky seemed stripped of its veil of mystery.

Exposed wholly in his mind!

However, upon seeing the celestial phenomena.

Cold sweat surged, soaking his body.

Heartbeat, racing!

Breathing, chaotic!
