Chapter 49: The First Taste of Forbidden Fruit, and I’m Hooked!!
[New Task 3: A rare and unknown evolution data map has been discovered, located in the forbidden area near Wanxing State (Crossing Star Boat). The exact coordinates will be revealed the moment you step onto the Crossing Star Boat. Upon obtaining the target, up to three participants will receive an Emerald Skill from their own group as a reward. There is no penalty for failing the task.]
[New Task 4: One of the Eight Disasters, the Ice Disaster, Ice Crown Princess, will send her emissaries to Holy River State in one month. Try to find out their intentions. After completing the task, the informer will receive a one-time Teleportation Stone, which will randomly transport them to any location within the eight states when crushed.]
[New Task 5: Stop Executor No. 10 from entering the deadly area at the edge of Jade Wind State (Colorful Cloud Area), or else Task 1 will definitely be considered a failure. If successful, all participants will receive a random evolution data map from their own group as a reward. There is no penalty for failure, but the failure probability for Task 1 will rise to 99.99999%.]
At this moment, as the last task refreshed, all the Executors looked in disbelief at Su Huan in position 10.
Of course, the one sitting there now is actually Liuliu Yue.
Facing the silent doubts of the crowd, Liuliu Yue could not explain, as she herself did not know what Su Huan was planning.
However, without a doubt, since Su Huan’s entry into the Colorful Cloud Area would lead to the failure of Task 1, this means there must be a crucial connection between Thunder Sound Stone and Colorful Cloud Area!!!
After a long silence, Luo Xinglai was the first to ask:
"Su Huan, what is happening?"
"Do you really want to step into the Colorful Cloud Area?"
"Do you know whose territory that is?"
"Why do you have such a thought?"
"And why is it just a thought that can be automatically detected by the Reverse Time Meeting? What serious consequences could this action lead to…!?"
Luo Xinglai asked the questions that were on most people’s minds in one breath.
Although this task was full of mysteries, the most unbelievable idea was, of course, Su Huan’s bold plan.
One of the six emperors, Freedom Marquis!!!
From ancient times to now, no one has ever come out alive from its domain (Colorful Cloud Area)…
In everyone’s eyes, what was just the beginning of an idea was already an incredible fantasy, something that seemed beyond human thought.
At the same time, under everyone’s gaze, Liuliu Yue felt completely at a loss.
If she could, she would want to ask Su Huan why he was doing this!!
But she really didn’t know…
Just then, Su Huan, sitting in seat number 1, finally spoke:
"Is it possible that it’s beyond our control?"
"I think Su Huan isn’t not answering because he doesn’t want to, but because he can’t."
"Because he probably doesn’t have such thoughts right now, nor does he know why he stepped into the Colorful Cloud Area. Maybe in the future he will face something that forces him to make such a choice."
"Also, this mission has no time limit, so we can use the first task’s time limit as a reference."
"Three and a half months is a long time. If Su Huan faces any difficulties, he will definitely talk to me first…"
As Su Huan finished his smooth talk, everyone present showed looks of realization or thoughtful expressions.
Alright, Liuliu Yue is really helping her husband out…
However, what she said makes a lot of sense.
Su Huan just reached the top four and also won the heart of a beautiful lady, why would he want to step into the Colorful Cloud Area for a new start?
However…
Among everyone present, only Liuliu Yue, who knows Su Huan well, looked speechless and felt disdain, not believing a word he said.
Why would you want to step into the Colorful Cloud Area? Don’t you know yourself?
Talking to me, really…
Go away!!!
"Well, it seems we have plenty of time, so let’s wait a month or two and see what happens."
"If there is anything unusual about your husband, you must contact us right away…"
Wuse Kui’s sister, Wuse Tao, who will be a member of Sky Calamity, made a joke.
Su Huan completely ignored it and pretended he didn’t hear.
If it were Liuliu Yue, she might have accidentally nodded in agreement…
After everyone temporarily put their doubts aside, they focused their attention back on the first two tasks.
Three and four,
These two new tasks involved the famous Forbidden Area Crossing Star Boat of Wanxing State and one of the Eight Disasters, the Ice Crown Princess.
Quan Zhiliang, one of the three kings, had not joined the conversation since earlier. She stared at Task 4 with a troubled expression, her thoughts in total disarray.
The Ice Crown Princess is not something Holy River State can resist…
The eight great disasters, like the six emperors, exist at a level that all of humanity cannot reach even after generations.
Perhaps, their combat powers are strong and weak in different ways…
But at the current level of humans, it is impossible to tell who is stronger or weaker.
Even though only a messenger has come, if the Ice Crown Princess herself were to arrive, the entire Holy River State would face disaster!!!
Quan Zhiliang couldn’t help but feel worried for the safety of her hometown.
However, Su Huan and Liuliu Yue, who already knew the truth, were carefree and had no intention of telling Quan Zhiliang.
After all, the arrival of this messenger had not caused any real impact on Holy River State.
The disaster at Dragon Palace also happened several years later.
After some time, they could just pick one randomly and secretly submit the answers.
On the other side, after a simple thought, Luo Xinglai made a decision and spoke up:
"Leave Task 3 to me. Our strategy team from Xingfu Academy has been working on the Crossing Star Boat for seven years, and we know its inside like the back of our hand. We have set up bases in each area and have team support. I will be able to finish the task quickly."
"Then, two more people can come along with me to share in the task rewards."
"Is there anyone who really wants to join me?"
After she spoke, Luo Xinglai confidently looked around.
At first, she thought everyone would eagerly sign up, but after ten seconds, the whole Reverse Time Meeting space was silent, with no one responding.
Luo Xinglai’s expression suddenly became stiff.
No, really?
You don’t want the freely given Emerald Skill????
She looked down at the nearby female deva, who immediately turned her head away in disgust.
Seeing this, Luo Xinglai felt like she had been struck by lightning; her heart took a huge blow.
Just then, Yu Qing Guan from seat six spoke up.
"I can go…"
"The Battle Pet Association headquarters is quite close to Wanxing State; it only takes three days for a round trip. Once you’re ready to start your journey, just call me."
"Okay~~~"
Hearing this, Luo Xinglai looked incredibly grateful and nodded vigorously.
This pitiful pose, begging for sympathy, makes one wonder if she is the one trying to earn rewards…
After thinking for half a minute, another executor raised their hand.
This surprised everyone a little.
Green Thunder State, Wuse Tao!!
"Just when I have a bit of free time, I’ll go over and have some fun~~~"
"Alright, Lord Envoy of Green Thunder State, welcome welcome~~~"
At this moment, everyone finally gathered together.
Luo Xinglai also started to laugh.
However, after seeing the distribution of personnel for these tasks, Liuliu Yue felt a tinge of worry in her heart.
Yin Hongsu from Burning Heart State cannot leave Burning Heart State to assist other areas because of the task given by Eclipse 19executor.
Quan Zhiliang is trapped in Holy River State, unable to move because of the upcoming Ice Crown Princess envoy.
The female deva is stationed in Wanxing State and will not move unless absolutely necessary.
Now there are suddenly three less.
Currently, only myself, Huang Qiuxuan from Phoenix Sand State, and that man from Dark Court State, the former leader of Sky Calamity Team 2, remain here as executors.
If Su Huan really plans to do something astonishing, like causing a big disturbance in Colorful Cloud Area.
With just the strength of the three of them left, it is almost impossible to stop!!!
Now, this is a bit troublesome…
——
——
Soon, a night had passed.
Finally, it was the day for all the teams to return to their own homes.
Airships from various states had already landed in the designated area one by one.
During the waiting time, without realizing it, under the surprised gazes of many people, the lines of Tianfeng Academy and Double Moon Sect came together once more.
Liuliu Yue did not want to avoid suspicion; she really wanted to have a serious discussion with Su Huan about the Colorful Cloud Area, while he still had not flown far away…
In front of everyone’s eyes, Liuliu Yue pulled Su Huan out from the Double Moon Sect group and then took him to a corner to talk quietly.
"Su Huan, I know you will not give up on going to the Colorful Cloud Area, but… I hope you can think a little about my situation."
"What if, when you encounter danger, your bodies suddenly switch?"
"Are you planning to say nothing and put me in danger?"
"……"
"……."
Facing Liuliu Yue’s serious question, Su Huan did not rush to argue back.
He lowered his head, thought for a moment, and slowly lifted it up, confidently assuring, "Don’t worry, it is because I know what will happen that I must stop it!"
"Last time, it was my lack of ability that led to the destruction of Jade Wind State."
"This time, I will do my very best to solve all the troubles."
"And the reason I can’t tell you, you already know deep down, right? Although once I speak the truth, you will surely stand by my side, it would mean that our future actions would be predicted by all kinds of monsters and spirits. Very soon, disaster will come…"
"You see, during this time, I have not dared to think deeply, just sketching a rough plan got detected and published as a task; you can imagine how helpless I feel."
"Alright, you know my strength, so just trust me and that’s it~~~"
After explaining, Su Huan gently stood on his tiptoes and patted Liuliu Yue’s shoulder.
Although Liuliu Yue still felt some discontent, she could only force herself to hold back her feelings and nodded with a worried expression.
"Su Huan, I hope you won’t make the same mistake again…"
"It would be great if the Sky Calamity expedition team didn’t have to be formed this time…"
Liuliu Yue’s words were both a threat and a reluctant agreement.
She knew very well that Su Huan’s real worry was not the Reverse Time Meeting, but the Golden Robe Goddess among the six earthly emperors who could foresee the future.
In their previous life, their mutual destruction was connected to the final prophecy of the Golden Robe Goddess.
However, at this moment, Su Huan and Liuliu Yue, though discussing serious matters as a couple.
But this ambiguous distance and deep gaze, in the eyes of outsiders…
It is completely like a couple in love who is about to part with reluctance!!!
"Wow, who would have thought, the captain usually seems indifferent to everything, yet at this moment he shows such deep feelings~~~"
"Sigh, only a perfect woman like Saintess Liuliu Yue can catch the captain’s attention; for us ordinary village girls, he probably doesn’t even have the interest to look at us~~~"
Seeing this scene, Daiyue and Liang Xiao couldn’t help but sigh.
Liang Xiao still remembers the day she was unexpectedly chosen as a formal member, and she had prepared herself for the possibility of unwritten rules.
In the end, Su Huan really only valued her Water Curtain Heart’s protective ability.
It left her unsure whether to feel happy or disappointed…
At this moment, with the atmosphere building up, many contestants had secretly taken out their phones, planning to capture the scene of the two of them sharing a farewell kiss.
But unfortunately, the next moment they separated.
Like strangers who had never met before, they quietly returned to their teams, not even saying a single goodbye.
But just then, something very strange happened.
Suddenly, all the contestants looked in disbelief at the backs of the two of them.
For some reason, one was walking towards the Double Moon Sect’s special airship, while the other was heading towards the Jade Wind State’s official airship.
Hey, wait a minute, what’s going on here?
At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong.
But on closer thought, why were they going the wrong way?
Are they switching groups?!
At that moment, sensing that something was wrong in the atmosphere around him, Su Huan reacted first and quickly turned back to the Double Moon Sect’s group, pretending that nothing was wrong.
But Liuliu Yue was really amazing.
In front of everyone, she directly controlled Su Huan’s body and walked up to the exclusive airship of the Double Moon Sect.
Then, she actually planned to stupidly board the airship…!!!
Seeing this, Su Huan could no longer hold back. He had to put on a silly act and said,
"Haha, I’m just joking! Are you really planning to come home with me?"
Hearing Su Huan’s slightly speechless voice behind her, Liuliu Yue suddenly realized what was happening.
A few seconds later, under the incredulous gaze of her teammates, she drooped her head and returned to the airship area of Tianfeng Academy, looking completely embarrassed.
Wait, does the captain really feel this reluctant!?
This is the first taste of forbidden fruit, and it’s become an addiction…?
