I'm in Star Iron, and I draw power from the Inner World every week.

Leaning on the bent iron rod, Su Yang took a few more steps forward.

Then he froze.

On the vast plain, spatial rifts were gradually opening up, and large numbers of illusory soldiers were jumping out from them.

Among them were several larger, centaur-like figures wielding massive bows, who looked ominous.

This desperate scene successfully froze Su Yang in place.

"I just don't want to drink someone else's bathwater, you don't have to go and kill me, do you?"

Ok?

Su Yang, who was preparing to flee, suddenly realized that these illusory soldiers were not paying attention to him, but were all surrounding a certain spot.

Plain.

A woman with long blue-purple hair is sitting on a white food stall chair.

She held a deep red umbrella in one hand and a long, unsheathed sword in the other.

The system information in Su Yang's field of vision also changed accordingly.

[Punishment Task: Have physical contact with Huang Quan for 10 seconds.]

Chapter 2 The Big White Peach in Huangquan

Even though Huang Quan was just sitting there quietly, Su Yang could still feel the full power of her presence from her back.

He only belatedly noticed the 'new task' sent by the system.

"?"

[Punishment Task: Have physical contact with Huang Quan for 10 seconds.]

[Tip: Completing the penalty task will end the penalty early and allow you to regain the rewards for the failed task.]

[Note: The penalty task is not mandatory. If it is not completed within seven days, the penalty will automatically end and you will return to your original position, but there will be no reward.]

[Note: This punishment mission is extremely rare; don't miss this opportunity!]

Su Yang chose to ignore the system for now.

The system's time was not paused, and at that instant, a purple lightning bolt suddenly appeared from where Huang Quan was located.

In an instant, the surging lightning and sword light intertwined, rapidly engulfing all the illusory soldiers in all directions.

call!

'Lightning' finally stopped in front of Su Yang, allowing Su Yang to see it clearly.

Beneath her delicate face were huge, soft, round breasts, a sexy, curvaceous belly, and long, full, white legs.

Holding the umbrella and gripping the still-sparkling scabbard, she tilted her head, looking at Su Yang with a puzzled expression:

"you are?"

As Huang Quan spoke, the illusory soldiers behind her, struck by lightning, exploded instantly, blooming like dazzling fireworks in the dim rain scene.

"I'm just an ordinary person passing by."

"Oh." Huang Quan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

"And you?" Su Yang asked in return.

He was a little excited, but he was afraid of showing any unusual feelings.

Huang Quan is one of his favorite characters, and he once considered her as one of his wives...

"I'm just an ordinary person passing by."

"ordinary?"

Su Yang glanced at the now clean and empty space in the distance.

We haven't even mourned the deceased yet.

"The rain is getting heavier, would you like to share an umbrella?" Huang Quan raised the umbrella a little higher.

"Okay, thank you."

Su Yang thought he would be even more excited.

But when he met Huang Quan's cold, unwavering purple eyes, all his distracting thoughts seemed to vanish in an instant.

As Su Yang approached, Huang Quan, holding an umbrella, led him outside.

Once you reach the spot where Huang Quan was standing on the food stall chair, you can look back and see the entire area of ​​ruins.

Huang Quan is looking at the ruins, and Su Yang is looking at Huang Quan.

“…”

Su Yang noticed the faint sadness on Huang Quan's face, but perhaps the oppressive weather made him mistake it for something else.

"Even I feel embarrassed to be stared at by you all the time." Huang Quan turned her head and met Su Yang's gaze.

"I apologize, no offense intended, but I would like to express my gratitude for what happened earlier. You were a great help; I thought I was going to die here."

"I just dealt with the trouble that came to me. If you really want to say something, you should be the one who was affected by me."

"Then let me thank you for holding the umbrella for me."

"Okay, then I'll accept your thanks." Huang Quan nodded.

"Um, what's your name? My name is Su Yang."

He knew about the Underworld, and he also knew about Raiden: Forgotten River Guardian: Mei, but it would seem strange not to ask.

"Huang Quan, although it's a borrowed name, you can call me that."

"Okay, Sister Huangquan."

Su Yang had to start thinking about the system's punishment tasks.

If you don't complete the task, you'll suffer for seven days, and you won't gain anything in the end.

Having physical contact with Huang Quan for 10 seconds is an abstract condition, but it is still somewhat feasible, since it can be achieved through some unintentional touch.

Sharing an umbrella was a good opportunity, but Huang Quan intentionally kept a fist's distance from him, so he couldn't get too close.

"Sister Huangquan, why are you here?"

"While traveling alone through the Milky Way, I passed by this place and recalled some distant and hazy memories, so I couldn't help but stop for a moment."

"I see."

It seems that the hint of sadness was not an illusion.

"And you?" Huang Quan glanced at Su Yang sideways.

"Something went wrong, and I was teleported here."

"Oh."

Silence enveloped the two of them once again.

But soon, Huang Quan broke the silence:

"If you have something to say, please feel free to say it. I can listen and I will respond."

It's as if he's declaring that he's not aloof at all, which is quite amusing.

"Sister Huang Quan, you were so cool just now."

"Thank you for the compliment."

"Sister Huangquan, your beauty is unparalleled, you are simply the embodiment of pure beauty."

"This compliment is even better than 'handsome,' thank you."

Huang Quan accepted Su Yang's praise calmly, his expression as serene as ever.

Can I ask you a question?

"can."

"What year is it now in the Amber Period? The Celestial Calendar is also acceptable."

“…”

Huang Quan remained silent, took out his phone, quickly glanced at it a few times, and then spoke:

“琥珀2157纪，星历8098年，6月15日，下午4点04分。”

"Okay, thank you."

Onfaros's sense of time is clearly different from that of the outside world, so Su Yang needs to confirm it for future reference.

Of course, he had no idea at what point in time the 'main storyline' took place, because he hadn't paid any special attention to that information.

"Sister Huangquan, how long will you stay here?"

"Perhaps I'll stay a few more days."

"Oh."

Su Yang hesitated.

Even disregarding the punishment mission, spending a week with the Yellow Springs doesn't seem so bad.

But if he disappears for too long, the kind-hearted and beautiful Aglaia will definitely worry.

Su Yang didn't want to cause trouble for others.

If we part ways here in the underworld, will we ever have a chance to meet again?

"You seem to be wavering."

"There are some things that are hard to say."

"As long as it's not too outrageous, I won't condemn you."

"Then, Sister Huangquan, could you give me some guidance?"

"Guidance?" Huang Quan stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowing slightly.

"It's just to guide me on some combat techniques. I don't have any relevant experience, but I also want to be as cool as you were just now, Sister Huang Quan. Even if I can only do one percent of it, I will still feel amazing."

Su Yang chose to cherish the present moment first.

“These things are hard to achieve results overnight, but it wouldn’t hurt to teach you some basics.”

"Teacher Huang Quan!"

Gu...

Su Yang's stomach made an uncooperative noise.

"..." Huang Quan silently took out a white berry and handed it to Su Yang.

"Thank you."

Su Yang didn't stand on ceremony and took a bite.

"Hiss!" Su Yang's expression was like that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone, and a little pearl fell out of the corner of his eye.

"What's wrong? Isn't it delicious?"

"This flavor is a bit strong."

It tastes like wasabi with a hint of sourness, and the aftertaste is incredibly addictive.

"Is that so? I thought it tasted pretty good. Sorry... I also have some regular white peaches here. Would you like some?"

Huang Quan then took out a large white peach.

"Thank you, I'm not hungry anymore."

"Oh, okay." Huang Quan silently took two bites of the peach.
