Qingque sighed as he led the way, "Alas... I didn't expect that despite all my precautions, I would still be dragged out by Master Taibu to do hard labor."
Han Xing felt a little sympathetic. She also understood the pain of the workers, so she could only pat the other person's shoulder in comfort and said, "When we get back, I will definitely play Qiong Yu mahjong with you for a whole day."
As soon as Han Xing finished speaking, he found that the people around him were looking at him with strange eyes. Mebius even reached out and hit Han Xing's head hard.
"...It hurts, Snake, what are you doing?" Han Xing covered his head and hid behind Sanyueqi. Fairy Ai Li flew over to Han Xing's head, rubbed his red forehead, and said helplessly: "Dear human, please don't raise the flag casually."
Mebius sneered, "Little white mouse, if you're so anxious to be reincarnated, I can send you on your way right now, so you don't continue to cause harm to other girls."
Han Xing covered his head and shrank behind San Yueqi, not daring to speak.
Qingque indeed looked at the bustling crowd ahead and said, "Strange, are there usually so many people here? Could it be that we were so busy playing cards that we even got the wrong way?"
Sanyueqi also walked up, looked at the sign above and said, "This is indeed the 'Industrial Manufacturing Company'. Perhaps the Industrial Manufacturing Company is more dedicated to its work."
As he said this, he glanced at Qingque, sighed and shook his head.
Qingque smiled and said, "Little Sanyue, you're still too young. Working isn't about earning value; it's about labor in exchange for pay. Taking a break from work is about earning value for yourself. Do you understand?"
Walter stood up and said, "After all, it's a job. You have to make a living from it. In the adult world... hehe, there's no such thing as easy."
Qingque continued, "This 'Industry Department' is filled with workshops dedicated to the development of extraordinary machinery and mechanisms, and artisans dedicated to inventing and innovating. Their tradition is to make a few mishaps every now and then—whether it's conjuring up caves and towers out of thin air, or causing ingenious puppet riots or something like that."
"So, distinguished guests, it's better for you to be careful." Having said that, Qingque moved his body towards Hanxing.
"Besides, it seems like there's something terribly wrong here. How about... we just tell the general we can't do it and go home..."
Han Xing raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Qingque and said, "Okay, then I will go back and tell the general that our guide is scared and wants to escape."
Qingque could only accept his fate and walked into the crowd to find someone to find out what was going on.
"It's terrible, Master... Hey! Master Gongshu!!!"
In the crowd, a young man covered his head and muttered to himself with a sad face.
Seeing his expression, Han Xing asked reluctantly, "Brother, are you okay? Hang in there, we are the reinforcements sent by the general."
Hearing this, the young man quickly turned to look at Han Xing. He glanced at Han Xing and the others excitedly, and then he calmed down.
The young man said weakly, "Look at her outfit... You were so excited for nothing. It turns out Yueyi is a tourist. You guys still have time to joke around at this time. But think about it, after encountering such an accident in Luofu, you can only make jokes to relieve your boredom besides being sad..."
The young man pointed at himself and said, "Ah Wei, my master is trapped in the 'Industry and Manufacturing Division'. I guess... he's gone..."
San Yue Qi didn't understand and asked doubtfully, "You mean Ah Wei is dead?!"
The young man's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "What the hell is this? I'm Ah Wei, and I'm talking about Master Gongshu. There's a tree disaster in the Construction Company. Someone's potted plant has suddenly grown wildly, with branches as thick as two people wrapped around each other! It's running all over the company, almost destroying it."
"I'm confused. The Industrial Manufacturing Division only studies mechanical craftsmanship, and has nothing to do with planting techniques like soilless cultivation and rapid growth. Where did this thing come from?"
Qingque quickly said: "You'd better leave here now, it's too dangerous."
Ah Wei said anxiously, "No, my master is still in there! Mr. Gongshu is the most senior craftsman in the Rongjinfang of the Industrial Manufacturing Department, and he's also the master who leads our research team. When the accident happened, he dragged me, Ziming, Yunche, and the others out. But halfway through, he turned around and rushed back in."
"I have to wait here for the Cloud Cavalry to arrive and quickly notify them to rescue them!!!"
San Yue Qi asked in confusion, "…Why would he run back?"
Ah Wei shook his head. "All I heard was him yelling, 'It's over! The stove's broken!' By the time we finally caught our breath, he was gone."
Han Xing raised his eyebrows slightly and asked A Wei, "By the way, did you see a girl with purple hair in there?"
Upon hearing this, Awei frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded.
"I have some recollection. When I was about to escape, I ran into someone at the door. Everyone else was going out, but she was the only one walking slowly inside."
"This guy...what's he up to this time? Could it be that he really has his eyes on that thing in the stove?"
Han Xing frowned. The appearance of the Herrscher of Corrosion made the situation even more confusing.
Ah Wei continued, "Um...you guys just said you're here to help, is that true?"
Walter nodded slightly and said, "It's absolutely true. I came here on the general's behalf."
Awei hurriedly took out a jade talisman from his waist, and then seemed to think of something and took out a peculiarly shaped pill.
"This is a keepsake from Gongzaosi. This is the pill that the purple-haired girl dropped on the ground. The packaging looks well-made, so it's probably quite valuable. It would be disastrous if the disease is delayed."
As he spoke, Awei handed the jade talisman and pills to Han Xing.
Han Xing took it and was about to take a closer look when the system's voice rang in his ears.
[After obtaining the "Chanyun Chenglu Pill", do you want to consume it?]
Han Xing was stunned. "Chanyun Chenglu Pill"... This thing seemed to be the last gift she left for the protagonist when doing the Danshu mission.
In this case, the Ruler of Erosion must have come into contact with the secret teachings of the King of Medicine.
[Ding!], another system prompt sounded.
[It has been detected that this elixir contains the "Dragon Marrow of the Wisdom". Should the dragon marrow be extracted directly?]
[Note: If swallowed directly, the efficiency of absorbing the "Dragon Marrow of the Vidyara" will be greatly reduced, but the longevity effect of the "Chanyun Chenglu Pill" will be greatly enhanced. Conversely, directly absorbing the "Dragon Marrow of the Vidyara" will greatly increase its efficiency.]
【Host please choose by yourself. 】
Han Xing thought for a moment, then replied to the system in his mind: "Withdraw, devour the dragon marrow!"

Chapter 166 I Miss the Taste of These Lips
The pill in Han Xing's hand slowly rose up, and a faint golden energy emanated from it, converging directly towards Han Xing's body. Han Xing instantly felt that all his limbs were wrapped in a warm stream of water, and he vaguely realized that his perception of "water" had become much stronger.
[Successfully devoured the "Dragon Marrow of the Vidyaraja."]
[The host's body functions have greatly increased! ]
[Gain the passive skill "Water Element Affinity"]
After listening to the system's broadcast, Han Xing raised his palm slightly and the water mist began to slowly condense, eventually forming a small water ball.
Qingque was surprised and asked, "What is this...?"
Han Xing retracted his hand, and the water ball fell to the ground, leaving a stain. He smiled and said, "Nothing, just trying out the new power. Let's get going quickly."
Before leaving, San Yue Qi wanted to say a few words to comfort Ah Wei, but he heard him muttering to himself: "None of us in the group will graduate this year, and we won't be able to become apprentices..."
Everyone: "...6, so filial."
The heavy door slowly opened, and as Jianmu came to life, its huge roots spread outward like a dragon, penetrating everywhere.
Compared to the game, Jianmu's spread showed no sign of stopping. The closer the caves were, the more they were completely engulfed by its roots. Within them, a massive furnace cauldron was tightly entangled by Jianmu's roots, lifting it up.
As Han Xing and others stepped into the gate, they heard a loud shout.
"The Gongzao Division is a confidential and important place. Retreat, thieves! Quickly, quickly, retreat! Ah, ah, ah! Don't come over here! If you go any further, don't blame me for being rude!"
Master Gongshu came trotting over with dozens of "mechanical devices" following him. With a gesture of his hand, those "mechanical devices" rushed directly towards the few people.
"Hey, listen to our explanation! We are not bad-"
San Yueqi wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Master Gongshu.
"What's there to explain? It's nothing more than excuses like 'I was just passing by,' 'I was careless,' 'The door was open.' There was a sudden disaster in the office today, and I was sure someone was playing tricks! And it turned out just as I expected!"
"Since we can't rely on security, I'll let you guys have a taste of the power of this machine!"
As he spoke, the finger gestures in his hands changed again, and those "mechanisms" moved left and right, as if forming a formation, and then a fireball blasted straight towards the direction of March 7.
Han Xing's body shot out like an arrow. His body's reaction was faster than his brain. Wuwu appeared in his hand out of thin air, and the sword light mixed with golden flames began to flash in the field. In just one breath, all the "mechanisms" in the field were turned into scrap metal.
Looking at the mechanical fragments scattered all over the ground, Mr. Gongshu's heart was bleeding.
"'Dense Cloud Golden Toad'! 'Deng Day Dragon Fish'! ...What's wrong with you! Hurry up and stand up! I will teach you and raise you like my own flesh and blood..."
As he said this, he looked at Han Xing and said angrily, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why are you smashing these little things that keep me company like this? Pay me back!"
Han Xing's gaze fell on Master Gongshu. His cold golden eyes flashed with a faint light, which made Master Gongshu feel a little uneasy. He felt that if he didn't say something now, the girl in front of him might very likely stab him.
"Who are you and why did you ruin my plan?"
San Yue Qi angrily said, "You refused to listen to my explanation! We came to rescue people, and you attacked us without a word! Didn't you see the Cloud Cavalry following us?"
Walter hurried forward, patted Han Xing gently and said, "Okay, Xiaoxing. Master Gongshu didn't mean it. He may have mistaken us for enemies at first."
Han Xing nodded and put away the long sword in her hand. She knew it, of course, but her body subconsciously wanted to protect San Yue Qi.
Walter continued to speak to Mr. Gongshu, "We are passing through here on a mission to the Danding Division, entrusted by General Jingyuan and Fu Taibu. We would like to ask Master Gongshu for directions."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gongshu looked at a few people in surprise.
"Are you also sent by the general?"
"Also?" Han Xing sensed something was wrong.
Master Gongshu nodded and said, "Yes, just now there was a girl with purple hair who also said that she was the reinforcement sent by the general."
"Where did she go?" Han Xing asked hurriedly.
Master Gongshu spread his hands and said, "She just told me to leave quickly and then ran away. It's such a mess here and I don't have the time to deal with her."
After saying that, he looked at March 7 and bowed slightly.
"My dear lady, I was anxious just now and mistook you for assassins who were trying to disrupt the Immortal Boat. It almost caused a disaster. I hope you can forgive me."
Seeing his sincere attitude, San Yue Qi quickly reached out and helped Master Gongshu up, saying, "Don't be like this. This is an extraordinary period, and it's normal to have some small misunderstandings."
Master Gongshu turned to look at Han Xing, and only when he saw the coldness in his eyes disappear did he slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
Han Xing also spoke up, "I was a little impulsive just now. Please, Master Gongshu, please forgive me."
Master Gongshu quickly waved his hands, "That's not true. My friend was just defending himself, how could that be considered impulsive? As for those little gadgets, they're broken, they're not really treasures."
He changed the subject and continued, "As much as I want to help, I'm truly helpless. This Industrial Manufacturing Division has been taken over by a sinister wood spirit from nowhere! Even the division's most valuable treasure, the 'Fortune Furnace,' has been stolen by that wood spirit."
"That monster is truly formidable! It can even make all the mechanical devices in the office suddenly revolve around it as if they had their own will. Anyone who goes up there will probably die in vain! But after much thought, I can't just leave like this. After all, that 'Honglu' contains..."
Han Xing continued, "It's still sealed, right?"
Upon hearing Han Xing's words, Master Gongshu's expression froze. He looked at Han Xing in astonishment and asked, "General, you actually told me all this?"
Han Xing sighed: "That's not the point. Take us there now. The purple-haired girl who claimed to be reinforcements is the enemy. Jing Yuanyuan's reinforcements have only been us from the beginning to the end."
As soon as Han Xing finished speaking, a light laugh came from behind him.
"Hehe~ My dear Han Xing, long time no see~"
The Herrscher of Erosion was still wearing the clothes that Han Xing had seen her in Golden Man Alley last time. She stood there gracefully, like a rich lady who had lost her way.
She moved slightly with lotus steps, and her figure directly penetrated the space and appeared in front of Han Xing. Her fingers gently brushed Han Xing's lips, then she licked her fingers with her tongue and said with a smile:
"Han Xing, I really miss the taste of these lips."
-------------------------------------
o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓
Chapter 167: I was kissed again! ! Damn!
The smile on the corner of the Herrscher's mouth was clearly visible, and the fingers she had just licked were still emitting a faint glow.
Still not satisfied, she wanted to stick out her tongue and continue.
"Hey! You're almost there!!!"
Han Xing said this in a somewhat annoyed manner, and a Wuwu appeared in his hand, slashing straight towards the Law of Erosion.
The Herrscher of Erosion raised his foot and took just one step, then his figure disappeared from the spot as if it had penetrated the void, and Han Xing's attack missed.
"Oh my, you clearly enjoyed it when I kissed you before~ Now you're turning your back on me, my lovely Han Xing, you're so cruel~"
A laughing voice came from not far behind, and the figure of the Herrscher of Corrosion slowly emerged.
Seeing this, Han Xing's eyes grew even more solemn. Previously, in Paradise, the Herrscher of Corrosion, after becoming the master of the "Past Paradise," might have been able to move freely through his "authority." But now, this was the real world, not the Past Paradise.
