Chapter 120: Chapter 96: Leaping Through the Dragon Gate, Burying the Old Self, Celestial Being Limit, Turning with the Heart, Black Heaven Blade·Whirlwind Thunder (4K)

Xue Jing mentally raised Wu Youqing’s identity by another two notches, then, pinching his chin, he said:

“So, White Crow could offer a reward like Hundred Feet Pole’s Top all because of the face you’ve given, BOSS.”

Wu Youqing chuckled and replied, “You don’t need to mind it… Hundred Feet Pole’s Top doesn’t mean much to me, I don’t need it, so feel free to use it… if you accept the assignment, that is.”

“White Crow must be trying to build a good relationship with you by doing this, right? Although there are many complex matters I’m not aware of, if I accept the assignment and take the reward, they will think that you accept their overture, won’t this cause trouble for you?”

Xue Jing inquired.

Upon hearing this, a sly gleam emerged in Wu Youqing’s amethyst-like beautiful pupils.

“I never said I wanted to be involved with them… They have misunderstood the relationship between you and me on their own accord. Therefore, Hundred Feet Pole’s Top is your reward, and it has nothing to do with me.”

Xue Jing exclaimed, “Is that even possible?”

This reasoning was somewhat wilful… It could be said that it broke the unspoken rules assumed by others.

Though what Wu Youqing had said was the truth, in the world of adults, not owning up after accepting something was a major taboo, regardless of the reason.

But… with the intelligence of this rich and dominant lady, naturally, she had the right to act capriciously, so he didn’t have to worry about anything.

After thinking for a moment, Xue Jing didn’t continue the topic, instead shifting the conversation, “Void Blade mentioned that this newly emerged Intersecting Boundaries is a C-level one and wouldn’t be too dangerous, do you think it’s credible, BOSS?”

Wu Youqing stood up, holding a book, and walked towards the bookshelf area, speaking offhandedly as she walked:

“Given that it’s the type of Intersecting Boundaries you can leave at any time, presuming it’s a C-level is reasonable.”

She tiptoed and stuffed the book back onto the shelf.

“However, the grading system of the Intersecting Boundaries places the highest weight on the ‘degree of chaos in the rules’, which is related to danger but not entirely so.”

“Indeed, most C-level Intersecting Boundaries aren’t very dangerous, but there are also C-level ones where many highly dangerous creatures reside.”

“If you’re planning to accept this assignment, you still need to be psychologically prepared.”

After hearing this, Xue Jing felt more confident and nodded.

He rose to his feet, walked over to Wu Youqing’s side, watching her run her fingers over the spines of the books on the shelf, and smiled:

“Then I’ll accept this assignment… I’m also very curious about the Intersecting Boundaries.”

Wu Youqing paused for a moment and looked back at him.

“In that case… I’ll give you something.”

Xue Jing: “Hmm?”

The young lady finished speaking, returned to the lounge area, and took out a familiar pair of frameless glasses from a small bag on a wooden chair.

GOD-1280 ·Plain Looking Glasses.

“Huh, weren’t those borrowed by you, BOSS, from the other containment companies? Haven’t returned them yet?”

Xue Jing expressed in surprise.

“No, I bought them.” Wu Youqing held the glasses, walked over to Xue Jing, and handed them to him.

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows and said:

“How can I accept this?”

Meanwhile, he unhesitatingly took them.

The glasses were a good item, able to suppress the presence of the wearer… The last time Wu Youqing wore them, even with Xue Jing’s strong intention to find her in the library, he ignored her at first sight.

Wearing them was the equivalent of adding a ‘Stealth’ BUFF to oneself. In a dangerous place like the Intersecting Boundaries, it would no doubt greatly increase his safety.

Even the side effect of presence bursting once taken off… could also be used to increase the efficiency of harvesting Miao Miao’s Divinity.

“GOD-1280 has been contained for a long time, and it’s not clear when it might trigger a ‘transfer’, so it wasn’t expensive…”

Wu Youqing said nonchalantly.

“Alright, I won’t ask what your concept of ‘not expensive’ is.” Xue Jing pocketed the glasses and earnestly said:

“Thank you, BOSS.”

There’s no such thing as a free lunch in the world, Xue Jing was certainly aware that Wu Youqing has always been so good to him for a reason.

But the benefits he received from this rich lady were tangible, not to mention the Divine Relics, just the intelligence information he received from her was invaluable, indirectly aiding him countless times.

These were true acts of kindness, and he had to repay them sooner or later.

A smile lingered on Wu Youqing’s serene and beautiful face as she said:

“Speaking of which, since you plan to accept the assignment, have you thought about where to use Hundred Feet Pole’s Top?”

Xue Jing pondered for a moment and replied, “I haven’t decided yet, do you have any suggestions, good sister?”

“Since you intend to follow the path of Old Martial Arts, generally speaking, the best choice would naturally be a talent related to the body.”

Wu Youqing spoke softly.

“However… I do have a different suggestion for you.”

Xue Jing’s eyes lit up: “Let’s hear it.”

Wu Youqing reached for a book titled “Furnace Noble Species” from the shelf, returned to the wooden chair in the lounge area, and sat down with her legs clad in tight jeans and crossed as if she was a queen sitting on her throne.

“There’s a twelve-character mantra that circulates in the Martial Arts World.”

She parted her lips to speak.

“Leaping Through the Dragon Gate, burying the old self.”

“Celestial Being Limit, shifted by heart.”

“You should be quite familiar with ‘Leaping Through the Dragon Gate’, which refers to surpassing the physical limits of humanity, reshaping one’s own genes, and burying the old body.”

The young lady gently tapped her fingers on the wooden table.

“And ‘Celestial Being Limit’ refers to the limit between the human spirit and reality.”

She gazed at Xue Jing, who was attentively listening.

“Your master must have told you that to leap through the Dragon Gate and break through physical limits, the key lies in ‘spirit’, right?”
