After finishing breakfast, Lu Ming and Lin Youwei logged in.

  Lu Ming thought for a moment; perhaps it was good for Qin Churan to leave for a while.

  "The current situation is quite special. On one hand, we're about to battle that ghost general, and on the other, I have to py dead to avoid the God Syer's people."

  "If Qin Churan stays by my side, she might attract the attention of the God Syer's people. It's better for her to y low for now. Once these issues are resolved, she can come back."

  With this in mind, Lu Ming temporarily shifted his focus to leveling up quickly.

  The priority was to reach level 40 as soon as possible, kill that ghost general, and resolve the crisis in Jiang Province!

  Lu Ming quickly chose a map.

  Lv46-Lv47 Holy Light Camp!

  This pce was the exact opposite of the Shadow Realm they visited st night.

  The monsters in the Holy Light Camp receive a 20% boost during the day and weaken at night, so pyers generally don't come here to level up during the day.

  Thus, to avoid attracting attention, Lu Ming switched to his alt account "Dawn" and parted ways with Lin Youwei, each heading to the Holy Light Camp.

  On the way, Lin Youwei's troublesome physique suddenly attracted a group of thugs!

  Seven or eight pyers, levels ranging from 40 to 45, with brightly colored hair, surrounded the solitary Lin Youwei in broad daylight, clearly up to no good.

  "Hey little girl, do you know who I am?"

  "Remember our Dragon Brother, Cyclops?"

  From a distance, Lu Ming immediately recognized them: these pyers harassing Lin Youwei were from the Grounded Gang!

  The Grounded Gang, known as the rgest underground bck force in Cloud State.

  They specialize in robbery and kidnapping.

  Just a few days ago, Lin Youwei was kidnapped by one of their members named Cyclops, who demanded a ransom of ten million. She was eventually rescued by the bck cloak using Time Freeze.

  "It seems the st lesson wasn't enough; you dare to seek death again!"

  On the scene, Lin Youwei clutched her staff tightly, fear evident in her eyes.

  The eight thugs from the Grounded Gang circled her with mocking gazes.

  They taunted:

  "Oh, little beauty, why are you alone today? Where's your Trickster bodyguard, Nether brother?"

  "Could it be that he was killed by the God Syer's people? I heard his head was chopped off, how tragic!"

  In the shadows, Lu Ming suddenly realized.

  No wonder they dared to act so boldly; they must have heard the news that Lu Ming was "dead"!

  It seems they've been lurking for a while, waiting for this opportunity to take revenge on Lin Youwei!

  There were quite a few onlookers around.

  But they all maintained a "none of my business" attitude, not wanting to get involved.

  A fsh of killing intent crossed Lu Ming's eyes.

  "Courting death,"

  Just as Lu Ming was about to switch to his main account to summon the Undead Legion.

  He suddenly noticed several God Syer pyers mixed in with the crowd!

  Lu Ming immediately stopped switching accounts!

  Because if he acted, he would undoubtedly expose himself.

  "If the God Syer's people find out I'm still alive, they'll know Guan Yu betrayed them, and Guan Xiaotong's life will be in danger, affecting my future pns..."

  While Lu Ming was at a loss.

  A figure lurking in the shadows, with cold, sharp eyes, drew a bde with a "swish."

  Just as she was about to rush out to help Lin Youwei.

  On the scene.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

  Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, enveloping Lin Youwei.

  The sudden attack caught the Grounded Gang pyers off guard, leaving them all severely injured!

  Before they could recover.

  A rge group of pyers with the "Glorious" ID, levels 45-50, charged out from the crowd!

  Leading them was a level 42 archer girl.

  Her tight-fitting chainmail accentuated her curvaceous figure, her face exquisite and stunningly beautiful.

  Li Wan-ning's appearance stood out, instantly attracting the drooling gazes of countless men around.

  Her cold eyes carried a hint of killing intent.

  "What a disgusting bunch of trash!"

  "Kill them!"

  With Li Wan-ning's command.

  Dozens of Glorious pyers surged forward, instantly executing the eight Grounded Gang pyers on the spot!

  The scene erupted in thunderous appuse.

  "Good! Well done!"

  "This young dy is not only beautiful but kind-hearted!"

  With Li Wan-ning's intervention, saving Lin Youwei from the Grounded Gang pyers.

  The figure in the shadows silently sheathed her dagger.

  Meanwhile, Lu Ming also lowered his guard.

  He instinctively opened his backpack, seeing the Scroll of Deification inside resonate again, emitting a faint glow...

  Li Wan-ning approached Lin Youwei, smiling warmly, "Where do you want to go? I'll escort you!"

  Lin Youwei was grateful, but when she looked up and saw that her savior was Li Wan-ning, she was stunned.

  She thought, "It's her... She almost got Sister Churan killed st night and upset Nether brother!"

  "She even wants to take Nether brother away! This bad woman!"

  Despite her soft and gentle appearance, Lin Youwei had a temper.

  She snorted at Li Wan-ning and walked away.

  Li Wan-ning didn't take offense.

  She instructed the Glorious pyers to follow Lin Youwei.

  She herself remained in pce, waiting for the crowd to disperse before suddenly looking at Lu Ming and greeting him, "Nether, hello, we meet again!"

  Lu Ming, with the "Dawn" ID above his head and a character appearance completely different from Nether, was taken aback.

  "How does she know I'm Nether..."

  "It seems I can't let you go!"

  Seeing no one around, and with Li Wan-ning already aware of his identity.

  Lu Ming decided not to pretend anymore, revealing his true self and switching to his main account, Nether.

  With killing intent in his eyes, he approached Li Wan-ning.

  Li Wan-ning seemed to see through Lu Ming's intentions, crossing her arms and feigning innocence, "You're not going to bite the hand that feeds you, are you?"

  "I just helped you save your sister!"

  "Could it be that your girlfriend dumped you, so you're taking it out on me?"

  No need to ask?

  It seems Qin Churan's sudden departure was indeed reted to Li Wan-ning!

  Lu Ming pressed Li Wan-ning, questioning, "What did you say to Qin Churan?"

  "What could I have said?" Li Wan-ning feigned ignorance, looking aggrieved as she replied to Lu Ming, "Maybe she felt unworthy of you, so she left! How can you bme me?"

  "I just genuinely like you, I didn't do anything wrong..."

  In his past life, Lu Ming might have believed Li Wan-ning, even feeling sorry for her.

  But now, Lu Ming could easily see through Li Wan-ning's facade!

  Compared to the "Tea Queen" Ye Ling'er, Li Wan-ning's acting was still too clumsy!

  At that moment, Li Wan-ning suddenly looked around, then whispered to Lu Ming, "I'll tell you a secret, I know where the God Syer's people are holding Guan Xiaotong, and if you need, I can have someone rescue her anytime!"

  Seeing Lu Ming's astonished expression, Li Wan-ning continued smugly, "See, I told you, as long as you're with me, I can give you anything you want!"

  Lu Ming hesitated for a moment, then asked, "So, why do you want me to be your boyfriend so badly?"

  "Why else? Nether brother, do you think my intentions are impure?" Li Wan-ning blinked, feigning grievance, "Is it wrong to simply like you?"

  "I just think you're handsome, fell for you at first sight! Plus, you're strong, very manly~"

  "Nether brother, won't you consider it? After all, you're already separated from your girlfriend!"

  In the shadows, Qin Churan quietly observed everything.

  It turned out that telling Lu Ming she was going to Anyang was just an excuse.

  In reality, Qin Churan hadn't left Jiang Province, hadn't left Starlight City!

  She still held a glimmer of hope for Lu Ming.

  She wanted to see how Lu Ming would respond to Li Wan-ning.

  But unexpectedly, Lu Ming ultimately gave Li Wan-ning an answer that broke Qin Churan's heart: "Alright, let's give it a try."
