The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl-Chapter 548 - 545: Running Into Trouble

Xin Lin turned, intending to leave.

"Lord Dominator."

From behind, Jiang Qing called out to Xin Lin.

"Master Jiang would like to offer a word of caution. If you plan to use the Turing Ring, it’s best to be careful."

Jiang Qing kindly advised.

Xin Lin took the hint.

She had snatched the Turing Ring from Bai You’s hands and given him a thorough beating.

Bai You would undoubtedly harbor deep resentment.

"Thank you, Hall Master Jiang, for the reminder. We shall meet again in the future."

Xin Lin nodded and disappeared using the Ghost Escape Technique.

"Hall Master, about that Turing Ring?"

Not long after Xin Lin left, a clerk from the Black Brilliance Market approached Jiang Qing with a puzzled look.

Everything sold at the Black Brilliance Market has been appraised by their people.

In other words, anything that makes it to the market has been screened by the market staff.

The Turing Ring was not of low value, yet Jiang Qing had not purchased it.

The reason was that Jiang Qing found some issues with that particular Turing Ring.

During the inspection, Jiang Qing detected a whiff of a breath within the ring, which seemed faint yet unusual. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

The Black Brilliance Market doesn’t deal in items with hidden dangers, which is why Jiang Qing had turned it away.

"It’s not a problem. I can use the Turing Ring to probe the background of this ’Lord Dominator’."

Jiang Qing weighed the two High-level Qi Stones in his hand, his confusion about this ’Lord Dominator’s’ origins growing.

The way he dealt with Bai You earlier showed a cunning individual.

Yet "he" also seemed to be quite guileless, casually giving away two High-level Qi Stones.

It’s a shame about the Turing Ring. He had initially intended to acquire the ring for Xin as a gift to celebrate her enrollment at Qingtian Academy.

Speaking of which, Xin has been at the Qingtian Academy for some time now, and it’s been quite a few days since she last visited the Purple Cloud Alchemy Hall.

Jiang Qing couldn’t help but miss her a bit...

With the Ghost Escape Technique, Xin Lin arrived at the city gates.

Dawn was beginning to break, and she couldn’t help but quicken her pace.

After just a few steps, she heard a strong surge of True Qi rapidly approaching from behind.

Xin Lin was startled and quickly stepped aside to avoid it.

However, she saw Master Mu leaping down from the city wall, his usual handsome appearance from Qingtian Academy replaced by a cold gaze.

Xin Lin was alarmed and held her breath.

"Where did he go?"

Mu Chen appeared somewhat annoyed.

He had clearly been tracking that whiff of Ghost Energy, which was nearby.

This was the third night, and each time he had been close to that trace of Ghost Energy, it would disappear just when he was about to catch up.

The person was clearly toying with him!

Mu Chen snorted in annoyance.

Being mocked over and over again made Mu Chen very infuriated.

But he saw his palms conjure two clumps of black mist.

The mist was dense, as if living creatures were struggling to burst forth from within.

Two muscular, calf-sized, four-limbed double-headed mastiffs leaped out from the fog.

With a mere gesture, he had summoned two ferocious mastiffs; this Master Mu was definitely not a kind soul.

With one glance at them, Xin Lin felt that Mu Chen was even more difficult to deal with than the elder from the Xuantian Sect she had encountered earlier.

"Drag him out."

The double-headed mastiffs turned their heads and started barking madly in the direction where Xin Lin was.

"This isn’t good."

Xin Lin’s hand was dripping with cold sweat.

In her Night Wandering State, she couldn’t escape the detection of those strange beasts.

Mystic Spirit Beasts were more sensitive than the average cultivator, not to mention these two were not ordinary mastiffs but Corpse Mastiffs famous in Fengdong, known for their extremely keen sense of smell. Even if hiding underground, they could accurately locate concealed objects.

The trace of Ghost Energy on Xin Lin’s body was immediately detected by them.
