"Phew, that was my first time killing someone and it felt great!"

After taking down that guy once, Su Ran felt utterly relieved, as if a blockage he’d been holding for three days had finally cleared out.

Refreshing!

"Don’t think just because you’re wearing a mask I can’t see how pleased with yourself you are. Have you even considered what would happen if Dai Xuan got the chance, took advantage of the situation, and struck? Would you still be standing here safe and sound? You’re being reckless!"

As Lin Yuqing thought about the underlying dangers in the situation, she got a fright and immediately scolded him, "This isn’t the place for you to act the hero. Look at how many people you’ve offended. If they gang up on you, I can’t save you!"

"Seriously, is it that severe?"

Su Ran raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t expected such a small PK to upset Lin Yuqing so much and was genuinely surprised. However, he didn’t take it seriously and chuckled, "You’re overestimating that Dai Xuan. To enter the ghost city, one must use Ghost Pearls. The ghost realm hasn’t been open that long. Even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he wouldn’t be able to acquire that many Ghost Pearls. So, looking at it in the short term, Dai Xuan is not a concern!"

"You seem well-informed, knowing the rules and limitations here. Here, take these two Ghost Pearls, so you won’t get kicked out of the ghost city if you stay too long."

Knowing that Su Ran didn’t have many Ghost Pearls, Lin Yuqing kindly shared two with him.

With that, Su Ran now had four Ghost Pearls, which would allow him to hold out for a longer time in the ghost city. However, to Su Ran, the quantity of Ghost Pearls didn’t matter much. He hadn’t planned to stay in the ghost city long anyway; once out of the ghost realm, the Ghost Pearls would just become useless ornamental items.

It must be said, the timing of the ghost realm’s emergence wasn’t great. Tomorrow is Lunar New Year’s Eve, and with the New Year’s activities, who would still be in the mood to adventure here?

Seeing his older sister lecture Su Ran with a serious expression, like a teacher admonishing a student, Lin Yuqing couldn’t help but secretly laugh on the side.

"And you, little sister, what are you laughing at? Your issue is even more serious!"

Lin Yuqing, catching her younger sister trying to hold back her laughter, was even more irritated, "You used the safe mode in a fight against the enemy, and we’ll leave that aside for now, but attacking the enemy with skills is fine, which Healing Technique did you use? Weren’t you just making things difficult for us on purpose?!"

"Ah? Was there also this problem? Maybe because it was my first time participating in a PK, I was too nervous and used the wrong skill..."

Feeling guilty, Lin Yuqing awkwardly stuck out her tongue and quickly hid behind Su Ran to avoid further scolding from her older sister, just the thought of it was overwhelming.

"By the way, Lin Yuqing, tomorrow is Lunar New Year’s Eve, why hasn’t the new year event refreshed?"

Su Ran shifted the conversation to the New Year’s event to avoid Lin Yuqing scolding anyone else.

Overturning Water, are your information sources too outdated? Haven’t you checked the Gods and Demons forum?"

Lin Yuqing looked at Su Ran as if he were an alien, incredulously saying, "The announcement’s been on the forum, topped and highlighted for two days already, and you still didn’t know?"

"Cough cough, I’ve been busy with quests these past few days; who has time to browse the forums?"

Although Su Ran said this aloud, he was thinking to himself that he hadn’t visited the forum in over a month. Who would have guessed the Gods and Demons company would post the New Year’s event on the forum? It was totally unexpected. They could have at least notified us through the world channel!

"Busy man, you don’t even need to check the forum anymore, I’ll just tell you directly."

As soon as the New Year’s event was mentioned, Lin Yuqing suddenly perked up and quickly explained, "Due to players’ lack of pets, not exceeding ten percent, we have specifically arranged an activity focusing on pets. From the first to the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, thousands of Pet Islands will be opened for players to capture pets. As for where the Pet Islands will refresh, it’s all down to individual luck. Oh right, the martial arts tournament on the tenth, you already know about that, so I’ll skip it and focus on explaining about Pet Island."

"Every wild creature on this Pet Island can be captured, and besides, they can also drop Pet-catching Scrolls and Summoning Manuals, it’s literally a paradise for capturing pets!"

The more Lin Yuqing talked about it, the more excited she became, even her hands started to gesture, "I heard there are even divine pets there. If you’re lucky, you can obtain any pet you want!"

"Wow, it sounds like the system is really going to bleed this time!"

However, for Su Ran, this felt somewhat unexciting because his pet space was already full. The last slot was reserved for the Ice-gold Jiao Dragon, which he couldn’t bear to give up. It had become impossible to acquire another pet, indicating that the new Lunar New Year pet-catching event opened by the system was totally useless to him.

Still, collecting more Pet-catching Scrolls and Summoning Manuals wouldn’t be a bad idea, at the very least they could be sold for some household money.

"I want a Fire Bird pet just like my sister’s!"

Lin Yuqing had long been envious of her sister’s majestic appearance flying in the sky, longing to have a Fire Bird pet of her own to soar freely above the clouds!

"Little sister, you should stop thinking about these impractical things. Your body won’t allow it to fly."

"Big sister, you’re really annoying, I’m really not talking to you this time!"

Hearing the fine drizzle of words, Lin Yuqing turned away angrily, showing she would ignore her anymore.

"Hey, Overturning Water, I’ve got a funny joke to tell you,"

Speaking of weight, the fine drizzle remembered the scene from earlier and laughed non-stop. She couldn’t help but exaggerate the story of the overweight younger sister.

Lin Yuqing felt extremely embarrassed, wanting to cover her sister’s mouth but she dodged away, laughing and evading, dispersing much of the gloomy atmosphere of Ghost Town.

"Little White, there’s nothing to worry about, I know it’s the ring on your hand that had an effect."

Su Ran obviously understood the mystery. In terms of weight, Yu Jing could not compare with that fatso. The only possible explanation was the ring on Yu Jing’s hand, the Green Fate Ring.

This made Su Ran even more curious. Just how extraordinary were the properties of this ring to produce so many effects?

Lin Yuqing looked at Su Ran with grateful eyes. She was relieved Su Ran didn’t resent her, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Overturning Water, you are quite clever. It’s not fun anymore when you guess the answer."

The fine drizzle lost interest and curled her lips, settling down quietly.

"Little White, show your ring, let me broaden my horizons too."

Su Ran’s curiosity about the ring had almost reached its peak and he couldn’t help asking again.

"Sure, okay."

Lin Yuqing didn’t keep it secret anymore and directly posted the properties of the Green Fate Ring in the team channel.
