Volume One, Chapter 21: Searching for Silver

On the way to the vicinity of Little Green Mountain, Shen Ji also learned some information from Qiu Yi.

Later, it was Fang Hanmin who came up with a solution. He fetched a gasoline can, stuffed the wet firewood inside it, and during cooking, placed it beside the fire to dry the wood with smoke and heat, even turning it into charcoal. This finally solved the firewood problem.

He even noticed that beneath Ming Luoyan’s collarbone, partially hidden, her skin was reddened from the cold.

She truly loved hosting in this industry—enjoyed facing the audience, controlling the entire scene, and listening to successful people share their experiences. It was meaningful to her.

For certain reasons, Li Junli had approached Xia Mingming several times, hoping she could help introduce him to people like Jiang Zhongping or communicate with the production team to secure an outdoor hosting role for him. Each time, Xia Mingming would defer, saying she’d handle it when she had time.

“Alright, I’ve decided to accept your suggestion. My current condition really doesn’t allow me to stay outside any longer.” Considering her own safety and the dangers of Naraku in such an extreme state, Xueyue thought it over and decided to agree.

Mo Laowu and Qidor exchanged glances and decided to agree with Naraku’s opinion; after all, there was no reason to force her to stay here now.

“I don’t care about Master Jiu’s feelings, but you know I’m proud. People always gossip, saying I’m out of favor. I feel ashamed, so it gets exhausting.” Yuzhen believed her reasoning was sound, as if there were no loopholes.

“Heh… By the way, have you been outside recently?” After downing a bowl of wine, Qin Fen asked the bearded man.

“If you can think of this method, how could we not?” Guo Feng sneered coldly from the side.

Yuan Zhenxia had initially wanted to refuse, but upon hearing the matter involved Lu Dafa and that there had been a “significant change,” he naturally no longer refused and immediately nodded.

The once cold atmosphere in the main hall was enlivened instantly by Master Xuefeng’s clever remarks.

Shuidielan’s lips parted, warm breath drifting into Li Xun’s ear, but each word was as sharp as ice shards. Before the words fell, a sudden change stirred in the room.

“You leave whenever you want? Is this place yours? Or are you trying to secretly take a cut? This place was probably your recommendation, but the so-called top-tier scale is nonsense. If you don’t chase me away, I won’t waste my time here.” Leaving just like that, anyway, Old Ye was already helping to arrange things.

Since they heard Lord Duoluo’s orders, the Magma Destroyer would undoubtedly comply.

Gexi Yongwu led Yun Piaoying to retreat in the planned direction. Surprisingly, they met no resistance along the way. He wondered where the soldiers of Yan Miansheng had gone, but decided not to worry about it and quietly withdrew.

Something felt off, as if the girl was venting her anger on him. He looked at Mo Xi, who was stuffing money while shooting a mischievous glance at Yin Ruojun.

The aroma indeed whetted the appetite. Chewing on dried vegetable rice, he mumbled how delicious the meal was, eating two bowls of the dried vegetable rice and then drinking a bowl of soup until he was full at the table.

The underground dark river flowed continuously forward. On its right, jagged rocks stood densely. Though hard to stand on, it was still possible to walk over them. Gexi Ranfeng carefully examined the rocks; there wasn’t a single footprint on them. He seemed to discern something and hummed quietly.

Yin Ruojun grabbed Mo Xi to leave, but unfortunately, two reporters noticed them and immediately started snapping photos.
