Seeing the friend request from Tian Xin’er on Feixin, Zhang Yue couldn’t help but feel a bit puzzled.
“How did she get my Feixin number?”
Previously, he had already declined the Tian Family’s betrothal gifts, so he couldn’t be too absolute in his actions.
After all, the Tian Family was the top family in Tianjing. Even though there was no need to curry favor, it wouldn’t be wise to make enemies with such a powerful family.
So, Zhang Yue accepted Tian Xin’er’s friend request.
Fortunately, she only added him as a friend and didn’t send any messages!
Treating it as just another decoration, Zhang Yue closed the Feixin interface.
He logged off after returning to the City of Ice and Snow.
Originally, he planned to eat out for convenience.
But Ning Tiantian said that eating out every day wasn’t nutritious and wanted to cook herself.
So, she went to the market opposite the east gate of the community and bought noodles, meat, and eggs.
Putting on an apron, she skillfully chopped meat, green onions, ginger, and garlic in the kitchen.
With her deft hands, Ning Tiantian cooked a pot of fragrant shredded meat and egg noodles in just ten minutes!
Wu Haotian and Lin Tian, who lived downstairs, smelled the aroma and came running up on their own!
The four of them sat around the table, looking at the delicious noodles. Wu Haotian couldn’t resist picking up his chopsticks and taking a bite. His eyes lit up, and he gave Ning Tiantian a thumbs up, “Tiantian, you’re amazing! Not only are you beautiful, but your cooking is also fantastic. Whoever marries you in the future will be very lucky!”
Hearing this, Ning Tiantian instinctively glanced at Zhang Yue, then quickly looked away, shyly saying, “Do you guys want some beer? I’ll get it for you…”
With that, Ning Tiantian got up and took three cans of beer and a can of cola from the fridge.
Just then, Zhang Yue, who was at the table, said, “Ning Tiantian is indeed great. Such a good girl is rare. You guys should seize the opportunity.”
Although Wu Haotian praised her, Ning Tiantian wasn’t too happy.
But when she heard Zhang Yue’s compliment, she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
Wu Haotian sighed lightly, “Unfortunately, my heart is already full of Su Jinyan. Otherwise, I wouldn’t miss out on such a good girl!”
Saying this, Wu Haotian nudged Lin Tian with his elbow, “Don’t you have any thoughts?”
Lin Tian lightly pushed his glasses with his index finger and said, “Can’t you see she already has someone she likes? I know my place.”
“Someone she likes? Tiantian has someone she likes??” The clueless straight man Wu Haotian was baffled, “Who does Tiantian like? Could it be me? No way! I’ve already said I only like Su Jinyan. I don’t want to hurt you, Tiantian. Don’t like me!”
Lin Tian said, “Ouyang Ling’er was right; your face is thicker than a city wall.”
Mentioning Ouyang Ling’er reminded Wu Haotian.
He immediately took a photo of the noodles and even edited it a bit before posting it in the guild group.
Ouyang Ling’er was so envious, “You guys are eating so well and didn’t invite me. I’m here eating instant noodles! So pitiful…”
Ouyang Ling’er said, “When will the guild leader finalize the guild base? You guys have forgotten about me…”
Zhang Yue replied, “Soon, just wait a bit longer…”
After dinner, they went back online.
After meeting up with Ouyang Ling’er, they returned to the lv41 Nether Hall.
They continued hunting Nether Warriors and collecting Resurrection Stone fragments.
At 8 PM.
Before they could meet their collection target, another surprise arrived.
“Ding~ Congratulations! The purity of the demon blood in your special equipment [Demon·Death’s Eye] has reached 100%. Would you like to activate the exclusive hidden event?”
“Finally reached the target?” Looking at the Death’s Eye staff in his hand, Zhang Yue felt a sense of relief.
Just as he was about to activate the hidden event, a Feixin message popped up in front of him.
Tian Xin’er: “Are you online? Can you come to the Fifth World to help me with something?”
Zhang Yue raised an eyebrow, “Aren’t you in Tianjing?”
Tian Xin’er: “I’m in your Coastal City now.”
After a pause, Tian Xin’er continued, “I know you just started a guild and need money for its early development. Consider it me hiring you. I’ll pay you three million. How about it?”
Three million!
Zhang Yue couldn’t help but be tempted.
The real estate agent had sent several videos today about potential studio locations.
Several places in Coastal City caught Zhang Yue’s eye, but they were only for sale, not for rent, and the cheapest one was five million!
Although he had sold the 500 gold coins he got from the Hell Grade Chest for three million, that money was just enough to pay off Su Jinyan’s debt.
Zhang Yue currently had assets totaling just over two million.
But if he got the three million Tian Xin’er mentioned, he’d have enough to buy the studio!
The previous betrothal gift from the Tian Family was like a sellout price.
But this time, it was different!
So, Zhang Yue replied, “Alright, send me the location.”
Soon, Tian Xin’er sent a location in the Fifth World.
“You guys keep playing. I have something to do in the Fifth World.”
After informing Lin Tian and the others, Zhang Yue left the Nether Hall alone and returned to the City of Ice and Snow.
“What’s he going to do in the Fifth World?” Wu Haotian asked curiously, watching Zhang Yue’s departing figure.
Having accidentally seen the chat between Tian Xin’er and Zhang Yue, Ouyang Ling’er smirked, “He’s going on a date with the Tian Family’s young lady!”
“I knew it! The Tian Family’s young lady is so beautiful and has such a high status. What man could resist Tian Xin’er?”
Hearing this, Ning Tiantian felt as if the sky had fallen, her heart filled with immense disappointment.
On the other side, Zhang Yue returned to the City of Ice and Snow, activated the world teleportation channel, and entered the passage.
“Ding~ Welcome to the Otherworld’s Fifth World: Dark Dungeon!”
Bathed in white light, Zhang Yue descended into the Fifth World Safe Zone: Dawn Sanctuary.
Compared to the sparsely populated Sixth World, the Safe Zone in the Fifth World was bustling with people.
Following the location sent by Tian Xin’er, Zhang Yue arrived at a level 36 wild area: Dark Forest, located in the southern outskirts of Dawn Sanctuary.
In the vast forest, groups of level 32-33 professionals were hunting level 36 monsters: man-eating plants.
But here, Zhang Yue didn’t see Tian Xin’er.
Instead, he encountered a mage girl with the ID [Enchantress].
The girl, dressed in a cold and elegant black robe, had a tall figure and an exquisite face that exuded an air of aloofness.
One look, and it was clear she was a wealthy young lady.
Countless male professionals around her couldn’t take their eyes off her, drooling.
Some were so reluctant to look away that they were killed by the man-eating plants!
But the girl seemed used to such scenes and paid no attention.
Around her were four fully armed level 35 elite warriors, seemingly her bodyguards.
“Are you Zero?” The rare-grade dark mage Enchantress looked Zhang Yue up and down, a hint of disdain on her cold face, “Aside from being somewhat good-looking, you seem no different from an ordinary person. The online rumors about you are really exaggerated.”
Among the crowd, Zhang Yue was probably the only one uninterested in Enchantress’s appearance. He casually asked, “Where’s Tian Xin’er?”
“I am Tian Xin’er.” The girl named Enchantress, whose real identity was Ling Ke’er, the eldest daughter of the Radiant Guild, one of the three major families in Tianjing, crossed her arms and spoke with the demeanor of a high and mighty princess, “I was the one who sent the Feixin message.”
Only then did Zhang Yue realize that the Tian Xin’er in the Feixin message was actually this person in disguise!
“Using Tian Xin’er’s name to lure me out, what do you want?”
Confident in her looks and status, Ling Ke’er said to Zhang Yue, “I’ll give you a chance to be my boyfriend. How about it?”
Hearing this, the surrounding solo professionals were stunned.
“What the hell! Why? Just because he’s better looking than me?”
“Because that Beast Tamer is Zero.”
“Who? Zero?? Oh, never mind, I didn’t say anything.”
Having been pampered all her life, always having things go her way, and never being rejected, Ling Ke’er believed that this seemingly ordinary Beast Tamer would never refuse her.
She thought she could easily win over Zhang Yue and then use it to mock Tian Xin’er before dumping him.
But she heard Zhang Yue unhesitatingly say, “Not interested.”
At this moment, one of the Radiant Guild’s golden-armored warriors behind Ling Ke’er drew his sword and pointed it at Zhang Yue, shouting, “It’s a lifetime honor for my lady to take a liking to you! What right does a mere Beast Tamer have to refuse?”
Enchantress’s face turned extremely ugly.
After all, so many people were watching.
Facing the threat from the Radiant Guild’s golden-armored warrior, Zhang Yue casually said, “Indeed, your lady is too noble for me. I’m not worthy.”
With that, Zhang Yue turned and prepared to leave.
The four level 35 elite golden-armored warriors behind Ling Ke’er were about to attack Zhang Yue but were stopped by Ling Ke’er.
The next moment.
A large group of professionals suddenly surrounded Zhang Yue and Ling Ke’er, brimming with hostility.
