Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

"That's really impressive..." Luna snatched the bamboo cup that Qin Yu had just half-emptied and drank it down. Qin Yu was a little helpless and could only pick up another full cup to continue drinking, but after drinking half of it, Luna snatched it away again.

"One cup per person!"

If each person drinks half a cup, then it is indeed one cup.

The hermit of the bamboo forest across the way smiled slightly as he saw Qin Yu and Luna interacting.

"Actually, the Night Sword Saint could do what I did in the future: find a quiet place to live in seclusion and live a life detached from worldly affairs..."

The hermit of the bamboo grove seemed to be implying something: "At the end of the starry sky, perhaps there is a good place to live in seclusion..."

"..."

Luna was taken aback. How did this old panda know so much?

"I will consider the layperson's suggestion, but I still have things to finish..."

The matter of the evil god is not completely over yet. If Qin Yu leaves with Yin Feixue and Luna, then Blue Star will be in imminent danger.

"Very well, I've heard a little about what happened to the Night Sword Saint. I'll discuss this with the clan leader. The Giant Bear Clan won't blame the Night Sword Saint. However, there's one thing I'd like to ask of the Night Sword Saint..."

The hermit of the bamboo forest's abilities exceeded Luna's expectations; he knew about what had happened not long ago.

"Please feel free to speak."

"I would like to ask the Sword Saint of the Night to give some advice to the newly deposed Queen Chi Mei."

"why me?"

"Because the Night Sword Saint possesses something inherited from the Blackfire Kingdom..."

Chapter 280 The Young Master of the Sirius Clan

Communicating with wise people is a very pleasant thing, and this is Qin Yu's biggest feeling after communicating with the Hermit of the Bamboo Grove.

Qin Yu received the next stage of the "One Thought Becomes a Demon" quest from the Bamboo Grove Hermit. However, this quest was quite different from what Qin Yu remembered. Previously, other players' quests involved finding the source of chaos within the Demon Beast Capital, but this quest...

"Could it be because I've been to the Blackfire Kingdom and possess the power of the Fire Seed that I met the conditions for the hidden mission?"

Actually, there was another reason: Qin Yu had met Chi Mei once before, while the players in the previous life never had the chance to meet her.

"Xiaoyu, how do you plan to talk to that vixen?" Luna hugged Qin Yu's neck from behind, giving the impression that if Qin Yu's answer didn't satisfy her, she would immediately snap his neck.

"I don't know, I think Luna, you can talk to her instead..." Qin Yu knew Luna wanted to cause trouble, so he simply passed the buck to her.

“Look, you and Chi Mei are both women. When it comes to matters like this, it’s much better for you women to talk about it than for me, a man, to talk about it…”

Qin Yu's answer made a lot of sense, and for a moment Luna couldn't find any words to refute it. She could only keep hugging Qin Yu's neck and return to the cat house.

When Qin Yu returned, the elders at the cattery quickly said a few words to him.

"A member of the Sirius Clan has come looking for Ugly Orange..."

"The Sirius Clan?"

Qin Yu thought for a moment, could it be the wolf clan boy he had saved before?

So he immediately went up and saw the wolf-man sitting at the top of the stairs with his eyes closed. Hearing footsteps, his wolf ears twitched and he immediately opened his eyes.

“My benefactor, you’re finally back.”

The boy went to greet him. Qin Yu glanced at the boy and thought he was quite cute, but why was he blushing?

"It's you. What's up?"

"I just wanted to thank you for your help before, and I was worried that you might encounter some misfortune if you went to the Giant Bear Clan's territory..."

Seemingly well-intentioned, Qin Yu patted the boy's shoulder and said, "It's alright, the Giant Bear Clan won't bother me anymore, so don't worry."

The Sirius youth didn't ask if it was true. Instead, he replied, "Wow, amazing! My benefactor, did you really meet the Hermit of the Bamboo Grove? My father visited last time, but the hermit never got to see him..."

"..."

Qin Yu realized that this young man seemed to be more than he appeared.

Logically speaking, ordinary members of the Sirius Clan should not know of the existence of the Bamboo Forest Hermit. Yet this boy not only knew, but his father was also able to enter the territory of the Giant Bear Clan to seek an audience with the Bamboo Forest Hermit. There's more to this than meets the eye...

“Young man…” Qin Yu placed his hand on the shoulder of the Sirius youth and asked in a serious tone, “Who is your father…”

"Uh..." The Sirius youth seemed to sense Qin Yu's pressure. He looked around and then whispered, "Benefactor, please don't tell anyone that my father is the head of the Sirius clan..."

"..."

Qin Yu carefully examined the young man. "So, you're the young master of the Sirius Clan?"

"Um……"

The young master of the Sirius Clan nodded silently.

Qin Yu has certainly broadened his horizons; he had no idea that the Sirius Clan had such an incredibly low-profile young master.

He was sitting there because the elders at the cattery refused to reveal the room where Ugly Orange lived. He had been chased and had no chance to fight back before... Based on Qin Yu's impression of him, he didn't seem like a young master at all.

Logically speaking, a family member of this status should receive very strict training, and it would be impossible for him to be allowed to go out and play.

In reality, Qin Yu was unaware that the succession to the position of patriarch of the Sirius clan was not a traditional son-to-son inheritance, but rather based on seniority and strength. This young master had several uncles, their sons, and so on.

His talent was mediocre, and the Sirius Clan had little hope for him.

"Appearances can be deceiving, young master. You've condescended to come here; you should hurry back, or the Sky Wolf Clan will worry again..."

"My benefactor, are you trying to get rid of me...?"

The young master's sudden tearful eyes left Qin Yu a little confused. What was he doing? Why was he crying for no reason?

"Don't cry. As the young master of the Sirius Clan, you can't be like this..."

Qin Yu checked the aptitude of this young master of the Sirius Clan. Good heavens, only five! How the hell is he going to be the heir? No wonder the Sirius Clan doesn't discipline him much; after all, his future is truly unpredictable.

However, on the bright side, this child is kind at heart and did not abuse his status to bully the weak or act like a spoiled brat, which is commendable.

The young master of the Sirius Clan was still shedding tears. Qin Yu had no choice but to resort to a deadly move.

"If you stop crying, I have a way to improve your aptitude..."

Qin Yu switched to a salesman's tone, and the young master of the Sirius Clan finally stopped crying.

"really?"

“Really, look at this…” Qin Yu took out the aptitude enhancement potion.

"This is it!"

The young master of the Sirius Clan naturally recognized this item; it was a potion to enhance aptitude. He had seen it before from his clansmen and originally thought that the patriarch would give it to him, but he was unexpectedly abandoned.

Because he had low aptitude from a young age, he had no foundation in combat training. It would be better to give it to those experienced but low-aptitude warriors who train hard.

This is also a large part of the reason why he gave up on himself. He was not well received by his elders since childhood and lacked self-confidence. Fortunately, other members of his tribe were kind to him and pitied him, but his self-confidence had long been worn away.

"This is a mid-level aptitude enhancement potion that can raise your highest aptitude to 7. Also, I have some fruits here that can help you quickly increase your strength..."

Qin Yu now resembled a pyramid scheme salesman, explaining the effects of the potions and fruits to the young master of the Sirius Clan.

After hearing Qin Yu's explanation, the young master was extremely excited, but his expression quickly darkened. "But giving these things to me is just a waste. If I gave them to someone else, they would definitely be better off than me..."

"..."

Qin Yu was speechless. It seemed that this child's self-confidence had suffered a significant blow since childhood, leaving him with psychological trauma.

[Hidden Quest Triggered: Train the Young Master of the Sirius Clan!]

"It's alright, young man, you must have confidence!" Upon seeing this task, Qin Yu couldn't help but perk up. Before, when the boy was so self-destructive, there was no point in Qin Yu trying to help him. Now that there was a task from the system, he had some motivation.

"You just saw how I took down those giant bears..."

"Uh-huh!!"

The young master of the Sirius Clan greatly admired Qin Yu's sword strike and longed to become as powerful as him.

"Eat these, and then I'll teach you combat techniques. I believe you'll become stronger very quickly..."

Upon hearing Qin Yu's words, hope ignited in the eyes of the young master of the Sirius Clan...

Intertwined Fates

Chapter 281 The Missing Crimson Beauty

I'm packing up to go home today, so updates might be a little late (probably). I've been so tired from packing these past few days.

-

Under the Bodhi tree, the members of the fox demon clan who had come here searched for a long time, but could not find Chi Mei's figure.

"Report: Not found!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the captain fell into deep thought. Where could Chi Mei have gone?

"Keep searching! Otherwise, if the King blames us, we will all be implicated."

"Yes!"

The group continued searching for Chi Mei's whereabouts in the vicinity.

Within the Demon Beast Capital, Chi Mei, already corrupted by the aura of the evil god, was hiding in the territory of the Si Snake Clan.

At this time, the Si Snake clan had already been controlled by Chi Mei and had become the henchmen of the evil god. They were spreading viruses in the Demon Beast Capital and controlling the residents of the Demon Beast Capital.

This time, the control is more insidious than the last time. Unlike the last time, it won't cause those being controlled to lose control. It will remain parasitic on those residents for a long time until the moment of full outbreak arrives.

"Your Majesty..."

The patriarch of the Si Snake clan was now completely under Chi Mei's command.

"How's it going?"

"Ten percent of the residents in the demon beast area have already been infected with the virus, and it is expected to reach forty percent within three days..."

The Serpent Clan acted very quickly, and since they didn't show any unusual behavior, moving around the monster capital like normal residents, the spread of the virus was extremely rapid.

"What new developments are there among the other nine races?"

"The new king seems to be sending a fox spirit to search for you..."

The patriarch of the Si Snake clan relayed to Chi Mei that the Fox Demon clan had sent people to search for her.

"Meixiao, are you trying to leave me no way out?"
