Ch. 6 - The Calamity of the Nightmare Demon
The next morning, Yang Ruo jumped out of bed feeling refreshed. After all, she and Tan Jin seemed to have grown a little closer last night—she was so giddy about it that even her sleep quality had leveled up. For once, all those worries and anxieties she’d been nursing seemed to have melted away.
Until breakfast, that is.
Chun Tao dropped the bombshell that Ye Bingshang had gone missing overnight.
Yang Ruo froze.
Oh crap. I forgot a major plot point again!
The Nightmare Demon questline—Tan Jin’s very first dungeon and upgrade arc—had just been triggered.
She wasn’t too nervous, though. She already knew the “difficulty rating” of this dungeon. After making sure Tan Jin had finished his breakfast, she tugged him along to join the crowd.
Besides, she was dying to meet this so-called Daoist master, Pang Bo-tu of the Xiaoyao Sect. How could she have forgotten? If she wanted to learn talisman-drawing, why keep struggling with trial-and-error from books? Wouldn’t it be smarter to just beg a professional cultivator to teach her directly?
Either Xiao Lin or Pang Bo-tu could work.
