Chapter 1462 - 1357: How Could I Possibly Let Old Man Kong Off?
For the fact that Qin Hao was already "dead," everyone sighed with regret. After all, he was once a renowned Great Demon King, and now, before he could even take the stage, he died just like that.
"Brother Qin!"
Jin Ni’Er looked at Qin Hao sitting there in a daze, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Brother! Wake up!"
Jin Kui gritted his teeth and shouted with clenched fists. Because he was so moved, his eyes also turned red.
"No! We must save Brother!"
Jin Kui rushed to Qin Hao and placed his hands on Qin Hao’s shoulders, "Qin Hao! It’s me! Wake up!"
No matter how much he shook him, Qin Hao kept his eyes closed, like he was already dead.
"Stop wasting your energy!"
At this moment, Master Kong behind them sneered.
His wrinkled face was full of mockery: "He’s dead. There’s no coming back!"
"No! Impossible! Brother Qin is so powerful, he can’t not come back!"
Jin Ni’Er also rushed over, placing her hands on the Dream Stone.
"What are you doing!"
Master Kong was slightly surprised, widening his eyes as he spoke.
"I... want to go in and save Brother Qin!"
Jin Ni’Er’s face was full of determination.
"Are you crazy?"
Master Kong didn’t know what to say, but he never sympathized with people seeking their own death.
"Hmph! Go ahead, but don’t blame me if you can’t come back." He sneered.
"Despicable!"
Jin Ni’Er said with eyes full of hatred, then closed her eyes and entered the Dream Stone.
"Sister, wait for me!"
Jin Kui also gave Master Kong a hateful glare, then touched the Dream Stone, closed his eyes tightly, and entered the Illusion Mirror.
...
Mist swirled in front of their eyes.
Jin Ni’Er and Jin Kui stood on an endless grassland, feeling their sorrowful hearts tighten extremely.
Sounds like the cries of Night Owls came from around them.
Cold wind blew on the grass, creating a rustling sound.
Further away, mist twisted, and dark shadows flickered, uncertain if they were human or beast.
"This place is so scary!"
Jin Ni’Er tugged at Jin Kui’s sleeve, saying fearfully.
"Don’t be scared, sister!"
Jin Kui tried his best to stand in front of Jin Ni’Er, attempting to comfort her.
However, since he himself was also trembling, he had no calming effect.
Instead, both of them were somewhat flustered.
"Brother, where is Brother Qin?"
They moved forward cautiously step by step in the wilderness. Jin Ni’Er asked.
"Let’s look around first..."
Jin Kui was talking when he stepped on something. Looking down, he found his foot stepped on a bloody arm.
The arm emerged from the soil, each nail oddly vivid, as if soaked in blood.
Worse, one finger of the hand even beckoned to Jin Kui.
"Ah!"
Despite being a strong man, Jin Kui couldn’t help but feel his hair stand on end, screaming in terror.
"Brother, what’s wrong..."
Jin Ni’Er had just opened her mouth when she inadvertently saw the arm on the ground, freezing her face, and then she screamed.
"Ah! A ghost!"
Poor Jin Family siblings jumped up embracing each other, landing far from the arm, shivering in complete fear.
"Ahem."
At this time, a dry cough came from behind.
Someone was behind them?
How could there be someone behind them!
Before they even turned around, they screamed again and rushed off to the side.
But after running only a few steps, Jin Ni’Er exclaimed: "No, the cough just now sounded so familiar!"
"Boss?"
Jin Kui thought it seemed correct too, and as this thought appeared in his mind, he turned to see Qin Hao standing there, smiling gently.
"Ah! It’s really the boss!"
Jin Kui rubbed his eyes, and the image of Qin Hao before his eyes didn’t disappear; he was truly there!
"Brother Qin!"
Jin Ni’Er ran over excitedly, immediately falling into Qin Hao’s embrace.
"Brother Qin! I missed you so much!"
Jin Ni’Er snuggled her head against Qin Hao’s chest with longing, tears falling unknowingly: "I thought you had died, and could never come back again!"
"But haven’t I come back now?"
Qin Hao laughed and patted Jin Ni’Er’s soft back in comfort.
Jin Kui was more perceptive.
He carefully avoided the arm on the ground and came to Qin Hao’s side, his gaze unable to leave the arm.
"Boss, aren’t you scared?"
"Scared?" Qin Hao looked puzzled. "Scared of what?"
"There." Jin Kui gestured towards the arm on the ground with his mouth.
Qin Hao glanced over and broke into a big smile.
Jin Ni’Er moved away from Qin Hao’s embrace, saw the arm on the ground, and immediately hid behind Qin Hao, not daring to show even her head.
"No need to panic, go say hello."
Qin Hao said, and under the watchful eyes of the Jin Family siblings, he approached the arm, squatted down, and extended his hand to shake with the arm.
"Hiss!"
The Jin Family siblings were clutching their faces, utterly terrified.
Brother Qin actually dared to shake hands with that hand?
"What are you still standing there for? Come and say hello. This is Artifact Spirit Lady Yingzi."
Qin Hao waved at the siblings.
Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er exchanged a glance, and ultimately, because they trusted Qin Hao, they decided to go over.
"Hello, Yingzi." Jin Ni’Er naively extended her hand and shook the hand.
The touch was cold and somewhat soft. Surprisingly, the hand, which was terrifying, felt rather nice to touch.
"Hello." Jin Kui also touched it and noticed something unusual: "Does this hand have body temperature?"
"What else? Do I look like a dead person!"
A sweet voice emerged from the ground.
And then, amidst flying dirt, a person emerged from the ground, unexpectedly an unusually beautiful girl.
"Is this... Ji Yue’Er?" Jin Kui and Jin Ni’Er were both dumbfounded.
Jin Kui was the first to come to his senses, instinctively looking at Qin Hao: "Boss, why is Ji Yue’Er here?"
"Ahem." Qin Hao coughed awkwardly twice; he couldn’t possibly tell Jin Kui about his twisted sense of humor, could he?
So he changed the subject by saying, "This is the Artifact Spirit of this world, and her appearance was set up to mimic Ji Yue’Er."
"Oh." The siblings nodded, accepting this excuse.
Fearing more questions, Qin Hao immediately explained: "About this world, I know you have many questions, let me explain..."
So, he briefly recounted what had happened, omitting many sinister details.
"I see! This Dream Stone turns out to be a prison for trapping souls!"
Jin Ni’Er understood suddenly.
Jin Kui cursed: "That damned Old Man Kong! To use such deceitful tricks to trap the boss! Truly despicable!"
"Yes! Old Man Kong is really hateful, we can’t just let it go!" Jin Ni’Er also said angrily, clenching her fists.
"Don’t worry, how could I let him go?"
Qin Hao revealed a confident smile: "Now we just have to wait until he gets impatient and comes in to see."
