Chapter 180 The Melon God Has Arrived!
Like everyone who goes on a shopping spree, Lan Yue was initially very excited, but after calming down, she felt extremely distressed and began to calculate where all her money had gone.
Since she didn't have 10,000 points, she had to spend 1,000 points to unlock a rough map of the Demon Realm.
Great, 1000 points gone.
The system then said that cross-realm positioning was difficult and that it would take another 2,000 points to activate the Demon Realm positioning. She thought this made perfect sense and spent another 2,000 points.
*Snap*, all 3,000 points are gone.
Then the system said that there were too many scandals in the Demon Realm, and they needed to be categorized and organized.
Receiving those melons at the beginning consumed a huge amount of energy, requiring 5,000 points.
However, since Lan Yue currently has no points left, the system has decided to offer a discount, requiring only 2,000 points to complete the task.
So Lan Yue had barely gotten her hands on her newfound wealth when she found herself owing the system another two thousand points.
This is how I ended up in debt again. Overall, it's very painful, truly heartbreaking!
However, the only advantage is that the map of the Demon Realm has been unlocked. Once she upgrades to an intermediate-level spectator, she can enjoy the gossip remotely!
This made Lan Yue feel much better, and she decided to stop coping with the system's temptations.
[Lan Yue: Although earning points isn't easy, I've finally arrived at the Northern Ridge Holy Land. All those scandals involving the Holy Land prove it's a great place!]
[Since it's such a great place, I'm sure I won't have to worry about getting any more melons. Those points will be a piece of cake! Hehe, Beiling Holy Land, here comes the Melon God!]
[Once I've had my fill of the gossip from the Northern Ridge Holy Land, I'll move on to the gossip from the Demon Realm. Demons, don't worry, I, the Gossip God, will one day grace you with my favor!]
Lan Yue's excited voice echoed throughout all the sacred mountains.
At this moment, everyone, whether they were the powerful families entrenched in the Northern Ridge Holy Land or the disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land around them, felt a chill run down their spines.
Some people who had never heard anything about this gossip were puzzled, while those who had heard Lan Yue's inner thoughts near the Holy Mountain twitched involuntarily.
Especially the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, he seemed to see Lan Yue spending all day holed up in the Holy Land eating melons, and he shuddered.
"Why are you all looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?" Lan Yue was pondering to herself when she suddenly noticed that the people from the Northern Ridge Holy Land all looked rather complicated.
Did the demons who were captured earlier escape?
Lan Yue looked confused.
Baili Xingzhou: "..."
"No, it's nothing."
How could nothing be wrong? At this moment, his feelings were just as complicated as those of the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge Holy Land.
Lan Yue didn't see anything wrong and continued to check the panel.
Although I don't have the energy to follow the gossip today, I can still search for Nangong Ye's location.
After all, she had spent so many points, just waiting for this moment!
Once she found the other party's location, she secretly sent out the information, which could be considered as saving a villain in advance.
Humanity has one less enemy, and the Demon Realm has one less ally. What a wonderful thing this is!
[Lan Yue: Let me see what happened before. Nangong Ye seemed to have some suspicions about that manager back then, but Manager Lin has quite a bit of prestige in the Northern Ridge Holy Land. He couldn't say it openly, so he had to go and check it out himself.]
[At this moment, they happened to run into the demons who were plotting something sinister, intending to release vengeful spirits prematurely to destroy the sacred mountain, and they captured them.]
[Later, when the demons fled, they first threw Nangong Ye into the Demon Abyss Rift. When they tried to escape again, it was too late.]
[Wait, doesn't that mean none of the demons who caused trouble at Holy Spirit Mountain escaped, and instead Nangong Ye was thrown into the Demon Realm?]
Lan Yue had considered some possibilities, but she never expected it to be this outrageous.
No one knows what bad luck Nangong Ye had, but he ended up going to the Demon Realm all by himself...
Thinking about this, Lan Yue had a sense of déjà vu, as if she had recently gotten her hands on a gossip story about a senior brother.
In that melodramatic story, it seems that the eldest brother also stumbled and fell into the demon realm, thus beginning his journey as a domineering and spoiled young husband.
Could it be that this is the kind of style the original author liked?
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving!
A group of people around: "..."
Not to mention Lan Yue, they never expected things to turn out so outrageous.
Even the Holy Lord of the Northern Ridge Holy Land thought that Nangong Ye had been captured by other powerful demons, but who knew that he had actually been kidnapped alone.
It's hard to judge; one can only say that bad luck is very selective in its application.
Even the head of the Nangong family had a twitching mouth.
[Lan Yue: So where in the Demon Realm is Nangong Ye? This place seems to be called Valley. I must say, the name of this place in the Demon Realm is quite poetic.]
A huge map unfolded in everyone's mind. People nearby could clearly see the map, which marked seventeen areas, each with a different colored block, and the name of the area was in the very center.
The valley that Lan Yue mentioned is located on the outermost colored block; it's a small place in this area.
However, Lan Yue herself was powerless to do anything about it; she could only try to pass the message on to the Northern Ridge Holy Land.
Only after she managed to get the message out did she feel relieved enough to lie down and rest.
The Holy Land didn't delay either, especially the Nangong family, who immediately invited their ancestor from the Northern Demon Realm battlefield.
Lan Yue heard news of Nangong Ye again three days later. She was eating melon seeds when she heard the news that he had been rescued, and she was stunned for a moment.
"As expected of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, they managed to save people even when they were already in the Demon Realm."
"It is said that the ancestor also lost an arm, which is a significant blow to the Nangong family."
Yunxi knew quite a lot of information as well.
"But it's already a miracle that they came back alive."
Lan Yue nodded, thinking to herself that it was true.
A stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Trading an arm for a major villain in the future of the demon race—it's totally worth it!
…
With the matter of the demon race largely resolved and Nangong Ye rescued, the Northern Ridge Holy Land returned to peace.
The upcoming matches between the North and South will naturally proceed as scheduled.
Almost everyone is practicing, hoping to achieve a good ranking.
In her spare time, Lan Yue would wander around the neighborhood, trying to catch as much gossip as possible.
Upon seeing this, the people of the Northern Ridge Holy Land all fled far away, none daring to approach Lan Yue's vicinity.
As a result, Lan Yue walked around the palace for a whole time, but apart from the guards who patrolled the area, she didn't see anyone from the Northern Ridge Holy Land, or even Baili Xingzhou.
This was a great pity for Lan Yue, otherwise she would definitely have been able to get more gossip.
However, as she walked, she saw the Black Serpent Sect members she had encountered while queuing at the city gate.
"The prizes for this competition, a collaboration between the North and South regions, actually include Nascent Soul Pills!"
The man, dressed in a gray robe and with a somewhat thin face, said excitedly.
"You're nothing but a Nascent Soul Pill. Our sect has plenty of Nascent Soul cultivators. Is it worth your wrath?"
Beside the group of men in gray robes were several men dressed in black.
There was a clear difference in their social status; the men in black were dressed in far more elaborate attire, and their expressions toward the others were disdainful.
"However, in addition to the Nascent Soul Pill, this competition will also feature the Heaven-level cultivation technique 'Nine Heavens Profound Spirit Technique' and a treasure even more powerful than a top-grade spiritual weapon."
"Besides these, we might also obtain the legendary inheritance of the Central Holy Land. These are the most important things for our Black Serpent Sect. A mere Nascent Soul Pill is nothing at all."
Black Fang, the leader, suddenly stopped talking. He looked at Lan Yue not far away with a wary gaze, his eyes filled with malice, as if he had seen a murderer of his father.
Lan Yue felt a little strange being stared at. She was discussing things with her friends and hadn't been looking for trouble, so why were they all giving her such unfriendly looks?
However, when she saw the other person turn their face, she suddenly understood.
Because this person's face wasn't a face at all, it was just a red pig's head.
So, this guy wants to report it to the police?
Just because you got rained on, you want to tear other people's umbrellas apart?
Lan Yue's gaze was so strange that it attracted the attention of the other friends.
Upon seeing the man's face, which was flushed in various colors, Wu Tianyu and Wu Tianya, the siblings, exchanged a glance and both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
This person had previously released poisonous insects in an attempt to harm Lan Yue.
They just added a little something extra and retaliated, and the effect was so amazing?
