Chapter 276: The Next Forbidden Land

Chapter 276 The Next Forbidden Land

Wu Chong took the opportunity to pick through the materials nearby, "Hey, this one's not bad—I'll take it. I'll bring it back for Mom. I'm Mama's favorite~

This staff isn't bad either. Though its cast time reduction is a bit weaker than the black witch's, it'll do for me."

Wu Xiuli kicked him aside, "You just got a new SS-rank staff and still have the nerve to ask for more? Get lost! These are for my sisters."

Wu Chong was unwilling to give up, placing his hands under his chin like a delicate flower support,

"Ying ying ying, but I just love collecting all sorts of beautiful wands. Can't you give me one? Please, Sister."

Wu Xiuli looked at Wu Chong's puppy eyes, "I really can’t believe it. Take it and scram!"

Wu Chong, "Yay! I love you the most, Sister Xiuli~" He snatched it and ran off.

Wuyue gave all the magical props she didn’t need to the Desert Rose trio, keeping half of the materials for emergencies and giving the rest to Wu Xiuli.

If Wu Xiuli couldn’t see through Wuyue’s intentions, she’d be a fool.

Wu Xiuli, "Even if Ani’s insect helped you in a critical moment, it’s not necessary to give us so many materials."

Wuyue, "Keeping them would only add weight to my bag. Giving them to you ensures they’re put to good use.

If you don’t like them, you can throw them away. If I’m over the weight limit, these magic materials would likely be the first to go."

The Desert Rose trio looked at Wuyue in disbelief, "What kind of extravagant statement is this!! These materials can be sold at high prices even if you don’t use them!!

To just throw them away, isn’t that too wasteful!!"

Wuyue smiled smugly, truly, times have changed, and now it was finally her turn to be strong.

Wu Xiuli looked at the book in her hand, which exuded a powerful magical aura, "Are you sure you don’t want this magic book?

Do you know how much a genuine, black witch lineage magic book can fetch on the black market?"

Wuyue shrugged nonchalantly, "I checked, a few billion points, but I don’t need points right now. I have a mine."

"And even without the spellbook, I can still create a witch’s brew with the power to destroy heaven and earth, thanks to my innate talent."

Wu Chong testified, "Yueyue is telling the truth; she has an innate and extraordinary talent for dark cooking."

Wu Xiuli was not one to be shy either; she accepted the items. "Wuyue, these items are indeed very much needed by the Desert Rose. I know how much they would fetch on the black market.

From now on, the Desert Rose will share all our bounty hunter information with you.

Come on, contact me anytime you need anything."

Ani held up Xiao Bai/Xixiya to say goodbye to Wuyue, "See you next time, Yueyue!"

"Oh, right..."

Seemingly remembering something, Wu Xiuli turned back, raising her glass to her lips, "When we get back, let's have a drink together."

Shen Quan, "....Just go already!" Drink what? They'll end up fighting again!

Wuyue smiled sweetly, "No problem."

Xixiya, "Can we order male models this time? I heard Drunken Night has added quite a few new handsome guys, very fresh and inexperienced."

Wu Yue gasped, "Oh? Then I'd like to see that too."

Wu Xiuli made the decision, "Then it's settled! My treat—don’t even think about paying!"

Under Shen Que’s death glare, Wu Xiuli remained completely unfazed, calmly waving goodbye as she left.

Even from a distance, they could still hear:

A Ni, "Poor Captain Shen."

Xiya, "Pitiful how? Our Yue Yue is amazing—dating eight guys at once wouldn’t even be a stretch."

Jian Suiyu glanced at the dark aura radiating from Shen Que. Just as Shen Que had barely managed to compose himself after hearing about Wu Yue's plans to order male escorts, Jiang Yuhua came barreling out and plowed into him, shoving him aside.

"Yue Yue~ The crown I promised you~"

Jiang Yuhua once again took out the crown she had wanted to give Wu Yue earlier. Wu Yue accepted it.

"Sis Yuhua, you really want to give this to me?"

Jiang Yuhua smiled shyly, "Yeah, it’d look perfect on you."

Wu Yue placed the crown on her head and extended a hand to Jiang Yuhua, "Let’s go check out the door the black witch mentioned."

Faced with Wu Yue’s outstretched hand, Jiang Yuhua was shaking like a leaf.

Jiang Qian reached out while shoving Jiang Yuhua aside, "Sis, I think you might be having a Parkinson’s moment. Maybe you should step back so you don’t infect Yue Yue."

Jiang Yuhua kicked him away viciously, her expression instantly turning icy, "Beat it, punk. Don’t make me cap you right here—the rich play for keeps."

Carefully taking Wu Yue’s hand, Jiang Yuhua inched closer, babbling, "Yue Yue, I think I might faint."

Wu Yue, "Do you need me to hold you? You can lean on me."

"Really!?" Jiang Yuhua immediately pressed against her, cackling, "Heh… hehehe."

The three Jiang heirs, "......"

Shen Que, "......"

Jian Suiyu, "Calm down."

Shen Que gritted out word by word, "I am calm." Otherwise, this place would be a bloodbath.

Fu Yanqi handed Jian Suiyu a handful of sunflower seeds, "Now this is a show."

They’d expected the Jiang family to be eccentric, but not this batshit.

Truly worthy of a century-old aristocratic family—they’re all born drama queens.

The group returned to the black coffin where Ambika had disappeared. The Jiang family had already drained the pool of blood, revealing the coffin covered in creepy-ass symbols and curses.

Lifting the lid, Wu Yue jumped inside, hit with a wave of rotting stench.

Pushing away the mangled body parts covering the coffin’s base, everyone’s expressions changed.

The wooden bottom had twisted into a swirling vortex, as if a black hole had once appeared there, sucking folks in like a vacuum.

But now, the wood was rotted through. At the slightest touch from Wu Yue, the entire bottom crumbled to dust.

It seems that the appearance of this vortex also loosened Leah's control over Ambika, giving Ambika a chance to stage a comeback.

Under the clash between the vortex's power and the black witch's intense curse, this door was rendered useless.

Everyone present became acutely aware:

The door was real.

And it possesses extremely formidable power.

Wu Yue studied the scattered vortex before leaving the black coffin.

Wu Yue asked, "Does the Jiang family have any other forbidden zones like this under their control?"

Jiang Huaizhi replied, "There is one more within the Jiang family's jurisdiction, originally part of Huaxia. However, it was recently struck by a natural disaster and is estimated to be accessible again in two weeks."

Wu Yue inquired, "Is the Jiang family planning to unseal this forbidden zone soon?"

Jiang Huaizhi shared a look with the other three heirs and nodded without hesitation,

"Open it."
