Chapter 328: Chapter 321 Don’t Say the Xia Sun Sets Late at the Western Border

Leaving the stone house, Ye Wuzong honorably didn’t follow them, as if giving them time to escape and hide their belongings.

Coming along would have been no fun at all.

Xia Chichi had been quite quiet inside, mainly listening to Zhao Changhe chatting with Ye Wuzong. Only now did she quietly transmit a message, asking, "What sneaky idea do you have? Or should we just keep it in hand forever?"

Actually, apart from matters involving Zhao Changhe, she was originally the icy Holy Daughter who scarcely spoke, ever since the time of Luo Qi. This time, acting together with Zhao Changhe made her very happy—their joint adventures through tiger’s dens, slaying strong enemies together, and facing the Earth List side by side. This was what he had done in the Northern Border with Yue Hongling, and now it was finally her turn.

It should have been her turn first!

Standing quietly by his side, watching him talking spiritedly with the Earth List Grandmaster, Xia Chichi didn’t know how happy she was.

What sword pills, what spirit of dragon and tiger—they all paled in comparison to this mood.

Zhao Changhe was responding, "If I kept holding onto it, he would have just taken it, and if one doesn’t pay attention to one’s belongings and they get stolen, it’s still considered theft. Do you really think he’d be that stubborn..."

Xia Chichi didn’t particularly mind, "If he steals it, then he steals it. I think we shouldn’t overly offend him, it’s unnecessary."

Zhao Changhe said, "But don’t you think that him not being able to steal it would really earn his admiration?"

Xia Chichi smiled and said, "This is an interesting and peculiar person, indeed he might be as you say... but are you sure it’s not really because you want to help me get the sword pills?"

Zhao Changhe just laughed.

Of course, it was to get the sword pills for Chichi. Was he really just playing games with an old man?

Xia Chichi, delighted, asked in a low voice, "What’s the plan? Hiding isn’t an option, we aren’t as familiar with this place as he is; running isn’t either, we can’t outrun him."

Zhao Changhe lowered his head and whispered into her ear, "I am sure I can find a Secret Realm. As long as we can get out of his sight for a while, slip into the Secret Realm, he won’t be able to find us. Hiding for three days, we’ll be done."

Xia Chichi’s ears slowly turned pink like jade, tickling her and making her heart flutter too, eager to hide away in the Secret Realm with him shamelessly for three days.

Zhao Changhe, seeing her extremely adorable earlobes, couldn’t help but give them a kiss.

Xia Chichi pushed him away annoyed and kicked him, "Let’s go."

"Go where?"

"Back to the city." Xia Chichi slowly turned and walked away, "If I get it, I’m lucky; if not, it’s nothing. We can just pretend this never happened and do our own thing. Being able to act together with you is what makes me happiest, not whether I get a mere sword pill or not. Why worry so much about gains and losses?"

Zhao Changhe smiled slightly and followed her.

This woman.

The sword pills were important to her, but she was even more carefree than himself; it appeared he was the one more attached.

This was truly a bit of Xia Longyuan’s influence; her mindset was never ordinary. Just like the time she decisively threw the Jade Pendant, possibly meant for inheriting Jiangshan, to him like discarding worn-out shoes.

It should be said that he didn’t really understand her back then. She had always been playing a role during the time of Luo Qi and didn’t display much of her true self. It’s only now, in their repeated encounters, that her nature became gradually clearer, sort of like... marrying first and falling in love later?

How fortunate to have been by her side so early, otherwise winning such a woman wouldn’t have been easy... Zhao Changhe suddenly felt a bit thankful to the blind man who chose a good position.

Oh wait, he drew that position himself.

This was also fate.

Speaking of Chichi’s idea... although they had the plan to hide in the Secret Realm, how to escape Ye Wuzong’s surveillance and head to the Secret Realm was difficult to achieve.

Ye Wuzong’s qinggong was unparalleled, and his ability to conceal himself was formless and traceless; you never knew when he was already somewhere watching you, thinking you had escaped his watchful eyes when maybe you were under surveillance from start to end.

Was this an opportunity while he was still inside the house and hadn’t come out?

Probably not...

His skill at tracking was among the world’s elite, and he quickly followed the trail, making it impossible to escape. That’s why he consciously stayed inside, giving you time to flee, playing a game of cat and mouse.

Then why not just cease running, and stop considering oneself a mouse?

The couple confidently held hands and directly returned to Kunlun City, doing as they pleased, indifferent to others.

Ye Wuzong emerged from the house, studied the traces, and was surprised to find that the couple had actually returned to the city. He paused briefly, then a smile appeared on his face.

An interesting couple.

He quickly followed them and saw the couple’s figures from afar.

Hand in hand, the two walked on Snow Mountain. The sky slowly lit up with a golden glow that illuminated their figures, as if setting the stage.

Ye Wuzong looked up at the sky, knowing what Chaotic World Book was about to say.

"Early in December, Xia Chichi and Zhao Changhe hand in hand vanquished the Poison Spider in Kunlun City, defeated Ye Tianling in the Secret Poison Cave."

"Poison Spider, Ninth Layer of the Mystical Gate, with outstanding Poison Skill, ranked fifty-eight on the Human List, was defeated by Xia and Zhao and perished due to the Secret Realm’s prohibitions; Ye Tianling, adopted disciple of Thief Saint Ye Wuzong, had breached First Layer of the Secret Treasure, ranked fifty-second on the Human List. He became independent and was known as Heavenly Spirit. After being defeated by Xia and Zhao, he perished as Ye Wuzong purged his house."

With the fall of ranks on the Human List, although not slain directly by the couple, their deaths were always reported, eventually leading to a shift in rankings.

This time, the whole world was shocked.

Two positions on the Human List in one go!

Killed by two Hidden Dragons? Oh no... not exactly killed by them, but they surely defeated them!

From the narrative tone of Chaotic World Book, "Xia Chichi hand in hand with Zhao Changhe", this time it wasn’t focused solely on Zhao Changhe’s perspective, the main character was Xia Chichi.

Thankfully, had it been Zhao Changhe again, people would really start suspecting Chaotic World Book of favoritism.

As if preempting these doubts, Chaotic World Book actually stated, "Zhao Changhe’s combat prowess does not qualify for the Human List and remains unranked."

People: "..."

"Remaining ranks on the Human List to shift accordingly."

"Xia Chichi having breached one layer of the Secret Treasure, although she allied to overcome the enemy, had already gained the upper hand against the Poison Spider in solo combat and thereby takes its place."

"Ranked fifty-eight on the Human List, Four Symbols Saintess Xia Chichi."

"Don’t lament the Western Border’s late Xia days; once from the east, it dazzles Kunlun."

People watched, dumbfounded.

Initially, when Chi Li and Yue Hongling ranked on the Human List, both too proud to tail-end, had challenged ranks sixty-six and sixty-eight, just before seventy.

This one topped them all, starting directly at fifty-eight!

Suddenly, it gave people a feeling that ascending the Human List was easy...

Of course, that wasn’t simple; it wasn’t that the Poison Spider was weak but that Xia Chichi was powerful; Chi Li and Yue Hongling had challenged the Human List before breaking into the Secret Treasure, while Xia Chichi had done so after her breakthrough, naturally resulting in a higher rank.

Though the Xia summer is late on Snow Mountain, from the east, it still dazzles Kunlun.

The question was, how did she breach the Secret Treasure, and how old was she?

It was said her mother was the previous generation’s White Tiger Saintess... Who was her father? Considering the genetics, her father must also be a noteworthy figure...

Researchers could already tell that with this upheaval, the stars of Chaotic World Book began to shine over Changkong, and for the existing Ninth Layer powerhouses who had not broken into the Secret Treasure, ascending the Human List was becoming increasingly impossible. Moving forward on the Human List, without breaking into the Secret Treasure, you might as well prepare to be a stepping stone for others.
