Why did you provoke me?

Yu Meng also noticed that slight difference.

She wanted to go down and take a look! The thought itself stunned her.

So she asked Niannian in a low voice, "Have you ever thought about going down to take a look?"

"What's so interesting about this? Let Brother Hua bring up a piece so we can see if it's worth anything," Niannian said without thinking too much about it.

Hua Shulang overheard their conversation below and tentatively reached out to grab the stones.

The moment they made contact, Hua Shulang felt as if his hand had completely lost sensation. He saw that his hand had grasped the stone, but he had no feeling of holding onto anything.

His heart was pounding, and his legs felt weak. He pulled his right hand back with his left.

Then I just stared at it, my right hand clenching and unclenching, moving freely, but I couldn't feel anything.

Niannian's voice came down, "Brother Hua, did you get it? We're about to pull you up."

Hua Shulang heard his own voice, "I got it, but it's a little strange."

"Then we'll pull you up." Niannian's impatient voice came again.

"it is good."

Suddenly, lights shone from above, and a loud shout rang out, "Go!"

With the help of the rope, Hua Shulang easily leaped high into the air.

The moment she came out, Hua Shulang closed her eyes.

Yu Meng's little black cat appeared silently, landed on Hua Shulang's right hand, and quietly lay down.

The Overlord also extended its tentacles from its backpack, slowly approaching the little black cat as it raised its tentacles.

The little black cat glanced at it lazily and then ignored it. The tyrant wasn't annoyed; it just stood there, tentacles outstretched, quietly waiting.

Ten minutes later, the little black cat moved. The Tyrant's tentacles were carefully placed next to the little black cat, and its entire body hung below Hua Shulang's right hand.

Niannian looked at Yumeng in surprise, "Fourth Sister, it's a good thing! They all like it."

Yu Meng nodded; she hadn't expected such a surprise.

Hua Shulang looked at the two little ones held in his hands with a mix of surprise and curiosity.

He looked at Yu Meng and told her how he felt, "This hand doesn't feel like my own anymore. It can clench and unclench, but it just doesn't feel strong."

Niannian wasn't paying attention to Hua Shulang's right hand; she was staring at the ground, her eyes gleaming.

"Niannian, shall your third brother take your little gray straw down to take a look?" Jing San walked up to her side at some point and said softly.

"Will it work? Fourth Sister didn't go?" Niannian hesitated.

"I'm just going to take a look. It's not a big deal if it doesn't work out," Jing San said calmly.

Niannian shook her head again, "Wait a while and see what Fourth Sister has to say."

At this moment, Yu Meng closed her eyes, carefully sensing the changes in the little black cat.

The energy was high-level, and the little black cat liked it very much. Then it looked at the Tyrant King and shook its head inwardly. Even though the Tyrant King's tentacles were resting on it, it hadn't absorbed any energy at all. It wasn't that the little black cat wasn't giving it any, but rather that its level was too low to absorb it.

When Yu Meng opened her eyes, she saw Niannian staring at her expectantly.

"Fourth Sister, can we go down?"

Yu Meng sighed inwardly, but still nodded, "Let's give it a try! If it doesn't work, we'll look for something else."

Upon hearing Yu Meng's words, Jing San hurriedly released his own lines as well. He followed the little gray straw into the underground. At that moment, he was extremely grateful that his lines had learned to travel underground.

Jing Ancheng naturally followed. Hua Shulang and his team witnessed everything. Although no one asked any questions, they all stared intently as the lines disappeared on the ground, their eyes filled with envy. Even Hua Shulang's expression changed.

He glanced at Yu Meng. He hadn't seen Jing San's features before, but he had seen Jing Yi and Jing Er, as well as the other group members. If they all possessed Jing San's abilities, then Teacher Yu's influence was probably not as simple as he had perceived.

Hua Shulang was lost in her thoughts, while the little black cat and the overlord had disappeared without a trace.

Hua Shulang's right hand gradually regained feeling; it was numb and not very flexible.

Yu Meng found a place to sit down, and Niannian followed beside her. "Fourth Sister, it seems Little Grey has started eating. It's just very slowly."

"Then let's wait here for a while," Yu Meng said softly.

Niannian glanced at the people around her. "What about them? There are so many people together, they're very conspicuous."

"Knowing we're here, who would dare come?" Yu Meng rested her chin on her hand.

"That's true. But what about Hua Shulang and the others? If they're targeted, they probably won't be able to stay here."

Yu Meng looked at Niannian and said, "Think about it again."

"What are you thinking about?" Niannian didn't understand Yu Meng's meaning.

"Sigh." Yu Meng sighed, "Of course they were forced by us."

"You can do that?"

"If we don't do it this way, do you think they're in cahoots with us?" Yu Meng retorted.

Hua Shulang stood not far away. He heard the two sisters talking, but he didn't quite understand them.

Yu Meng ignored Niannian and rummaged through her small backpack. Finally, she took out a small box and waved to Hua Shulang.

"This box contains some medicinal stones; please divide them among yourselves."

Hua Shulang didn't refuse. Since he had followed Yu Meng, he wouldn't refuse what she gave him.

After taking the box, Hua Shulang didn't leave, but found a place to sit down as well.

"Teacher Yu, what conditions are required if I want to have the same facial features as Third Brother?"

Yu Meng looked at him in surprise, "You want lines?"

"Yes, I want to become stronger."

"Think it through. The lines are simple, but making them stronger is not so simple."

"I know, I'm not afraid." Hua Shulang's lips curled up, his eyes half-closed. "I'm just afraid of not having a way to become stronger."

Yu Meng then found a small box in her backpack. "Does this require parasitizing an alien? Have you thought this through?"

Hua Shulang nodded. "I've parasitized aliens several times. With you guys here, how could I possibly be in danger?"

Niannian laughed out loud, "If we can mess up something as small as this, we might as well give up. I'm free anyway, I'll handle this."

Hua Shulang glanced at Yu Meng, and seeing that she didn't react, he could only nod to Niannian.

The process was so simple that even Hua Shulang could hardly believe it. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the lines in his palm. That's it?

He looked at Nian Nian with eager eyes. "And then? What do you do next?"

Nian Nian looked at him with a half-smile. "This is a secret technique of our sect. How can we just teach it to an outsider like you?"

This time, Hua Shulang was stunned. When it comes to sect secrets, everyone must be cautious.

After a long pause, he finally pointed to Jing San and Jing Ancheng. "And what about them..."

Niannian nodded with a smile, "Of course they are from the sect."

Hua Shulang took a deep breath and looked at Yu Meng. "Would you want someone like me?"

This was the first time he had ever so humbly begged someone to help him become stronger.

Yu Meng laughed too, "The examiner is Uncle Wu, do you think he'll want you or not?"
