Chapter 1681 - 1482: Truly Terrifying

Fu Yi effortlessly noticed it.

Once again, it highlighted Fu Yi’s terrifying capabilities.

However, the Buried Immortal City Lord wasn’t worried about his daughter’s safety.

No matter how strong Fu Yi is.

He wouldn’t possibly harm his daughter.

Unless Fu Yi went mad!

After all, being the Buried Immortal City Lord isn’t something to be trifled with, not to mention that in the future, the Fu Family would want someone to enter the Buried Immortal Secret Realm, and he is indispensable in that regard.

"Hmph, how did you find out?" Sure enough, in the next moment, a figure emerged from the air.

It was Ning Qingqing.

Graceful, ethereal, proud Ning Qingqing.

Of course, even though Ning Qingqing was spoiled, she wasn’t blind. She had seen the strength that Fu Yi displayed before, and the maddening breakthroughs he made; honestly, it frightened her and left her somewhat nervous and shaken.

"Greetings, Lady Qingqing," Fu Ren spoke.

Fu Yi, however, smiled and said, "Lady Qingqing, shall we go together?"

"Sure."

Ning Qingqing nodded, agreeing without a second thought.

Fu Yi was very strong.

Following Fu Yi and Fu Ren gave her safety assurance.

And she could earn some points along the way.

Next.

The trio set off.

On the way, Fu Ren occasionally chatted with Ning Qingqing at first. The desire to admire beauty is universal, and Ning Qingqing was very beautiful, with both her temperament and status displayed openly; saying he wasn’t tempted would be a lie.

However, soon after he noticed that even though Fu Yi didn’t overtly show it, he seemed interested in Ning Qingqing as well, he wisely put aside any thoughts he shouldn’t have.

Otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t even know how he had died.

Time ticked by, second by second.

A dozen hours passed.

During that time, the trio encountered wraith beasts four times.

The first encounter was a group of Second Level wraith beasts.

Ning Qingqing took care of them alone, as she was interested, and neither Fu Yi nor Fu Ren intervened.

The second encounter was with a single, isolated Level 4 wraith beast, peaking in strength. Initially, it was presumed that Ning Qingqing might not handle it alone this time.

Even if Fu Yi didn’t lend a hand, maybe Fu Ren would have to help.

Unexpectedly, Ning Qingqing handled it solo again.

Ning Qingqing showed strength far beyond her realm.

The third time, it was a group of Level 4 wraith beasts; again, Fu Yi did not intervene, leaving Fu Ren and Ning Qingqing to dispatch them.

The fourth encounter was a Level 5 Peak wraith beast.

Ning Qingqing and Fu Ren attempted to fight, but Fu Ren was injured in a single round, and Ning Qingqing nearly died at the hands of that wraith beast. Fortunately, at the moment between life and death, Fu Yi made his move.

Once Fu Yi acted, he killed it instantly!!!!

Bare—naked—instant kill.

Ning Qingqing was increasingly shocked by Fu Yi’s talent and strength...

She was even somewhat dazed, questioning if she was still considered a genius?

Before this, she always thought of herself as an unparalleled prodigy.

Now...

In comparison to Fu Yi.

She felt greatly disheartened.

"Qingqing, are you alright?"

Fu Yi asked with concern, showing a warm smile.

Ning Qingqing nodded: "Thank you."

Fu Yi’s smile grew warmer.

He wasn’t in a hurry.

Too aggressive pursuit would alarm and embarrass Ning Qingqing, which wouldn’t be pleasant.

This gentle, breezy care along the way, combined with the impressive displays of strength and talent by Fu Yi that shocked Ning Qingqing, he believed that by the end of this Secret Realm competition, Ning Qingqing would probably have a good impression of him.

"Let’s move on."

Fu Yi added: "Let’s speed up; maybe we’ll encounter a Secret Realm or the like later on."

He was somewhat expectant.

Merely securing first place in this Secret Realm competition wasn’t his goal, as it was too simple for him.

The small Secret Realms within the Buried Immortal Secret Realm that belonged to the powerful seniors were his real aspiration.

The trio set off again.

Moving forward.

Another twenty or so hours passed.

The group of three was astonishingly efficient, almost sweeping through wraith beasts, primarily relying on Fu Yi’s formidable strength.

During these twenty-plus hours, they encountered wraith beasts six times.

None were particularly strong.

The strongest were merely Level 5 Early and Mid Stage wraith beasts.

With Fu Yi holding the line, Fu Ren and Ning Qingqing easily dealt with them.

"Thanks to Fu Yi,"

Outside, the Buried Immortal City Lord couldn’t help but look at Fu Qingrong, offering her a smile.

"It’s not troublesome; without Lady Qingqing, Fu Yi and Fu Ren would still resolve those wraith beasts."

Fu Qingrong smiled, noting how Fu Yi seemed to be courting Ning Qingqing; she was happy to see it.

After all, Ning Qingqing was the daughter of the Buried Immortal City Lord.

If Fu Yi were to marry Ning Qingqing, the Fu Family would benefit greatly.

Besides, aside from Ning Qingqing being spoiled and somewhat arrogant and petulant, she was otherwise top-notch, well matched with Fu Yi.

"Sigh!"

Mr. Sui observed with a hint of melancholy; initially, the Buried Immortal City Lord had been more inclined towards the Sui Family or the Xuan Family, given their greater strength. Now, it seemed...

It might just turn out that the Fu Family and the Buried Immortal City Lord would become relatives.

"I wonder how my brother-in-law is doing?"

At this moment, Luo Ningning spoke with a hint of anticipation.

Ye Tian and Xuan Chuqing had been in the small Secret Realm for dozens of hours now.

Their absence was beginning to make her anxious.

Even in terms of points, her brother-in-law had dropped to fourth place.

Currently, Fu Yi held the first position with a substantial lead of nearly 200,000 points.

Fu Ren was second with over 40,000 points.

Ning Qingqing was third with over 30,000 points.

Though Ning Qingqing was alone and wasn’t included in the points rankings normally, the Buried Immortal City Lord allowed her temporary inclusion in the rankings, which wasn’t difficult.

When the final point rankings were announced, the Buried Immortal City Lord would remove Ning Qingqing from the list. It was a gesture to please his daughter.

Ye Tian was fourth.

Moreover, Sui Jian in fifth was seemingly catching up.

"Not emerging might be beneficial; if, upon emerging, he encounters our Fu Yi Young Master?"

Nearby, a young member from the Fu Family standing beside Fu Qingrong scoffed.

Without holding back.

It was sheer mockery.

Everyone heard it.

"You... encounter then what?"

Luo Ningning was slightly upset, glaring at the speaker.

"What do you think happens if they meet?"

The mocking party’s laughter deepened: "If they meet and a conflict arises, your brother-in-law would die miserably."

"Who’s to say my brother-in-law would die? My brother-in-law..."

Luo Ningning’s face flushed with anger, wanting to boast about Ye Tian, given Ye Tian’s previously impressive performance.

However.

Before she could start bragging, Xuan Jingping reprimanded: "Enough, don’t embarrass yourself."

Xuan Jingping frowned in annoyance.

"How is it embarrassing? Seventh Aunt, my brother-in-law is indeed extraordinary; he previously showed..."

Luo Ningning muttered, defiant, but was again interrupted by Xuan Jingping: "Did he show better than Fu Yi?"

Luo Ningning fell silent.

No, he didn’t.

She hung her head low.

Meanwhile.

Inside the Secret Realm.

Ning Qingqing suddenly stopped.

"Qingqing, what’s wrong?"

Fu Yi turned his head, glancing at Ning Qingqing.

"It’s time to split up."

Ning Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Fu Yi, I feel that by staying with you and Fu Ren, I’ve completely lost the enjoyment of the Secret Realm adventure."

Ning Qingqing had developed a slight fondness for Fu Yi.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t refer to Fu Yi as Brother Fu Yi.

But, it was just a little, considering how short their acquaintance was?

Regardless of any fondness or lack thereof, she currently felt bored.

By nature, she loved adventure.

Traveling with Fu Yi and Fu Ren posed almost no danger.

Fu Yi was too strong!!!!!

Strong to the point of despair.

Strong to the point where the Secret Realm competition felt utterly meaningless, like child’s play.

Thus, after careful consideration.

She decided to temporarily part ways.

"Qingqing..."

Fu Yi frowned slightly, wanting to persuade her.

But Ning Qingqing interrupted: "My decision is firm; we’ll only be separated temporarily, maybe later when I’m tired of wandering alone, I’ll meet you again, and we can continue together."
