“Wait, you said this compass has a sensor?” Explore new worlds at
After hearing Chen Jianxin’s explanation, Jinyue finally realized what was going on. She quickly retracted the curse marks in her right eye socket.
She blinked, first observing Yino cautiously. After confirming that Yino had a dazed look and hadn’t noticed her eye color change just now, she hurriedly tried placing a strand of her hair under the compass.
In an instant, the previously chaotic compass needle accurately pointed towards Jinyue’s direction again-
“Yi! No!”
The foxgirl suddenly realized what had happened. She gritted her teeth angrily, like a little vicious dog slapped in the face by a meat bun. Her enchanting eyes glared at Yino with both grievance and ferocious cuteness.
Jinyue felt her intelligence had been insulted. But what made her even more furious was that she had actually been fooled by this little trick and even got scared to the point of almost using abyss-type illusion techniques.
“So that’s how it works. Maybe you accidentally dropped your hair on this compass just now.”
Yino looked away and whistled, feeling a bit guilty.
Jinyue puffed up her cheeks, snatched the hand Yino was hiding behind his back, and sure enough, found a few strands of reddish-brown hair.
“Yino! When did you… !”
She stood on tiptoe in front of Yino, angrily holding up this evidence. Yino blinked, averting his gaze, and remained silent. But even without him saying anything, Jinyue, through a brief recollection, seemed to vaguely recall their occasional intimate contact when they were in the Mountain Temple before.
At that time, Yino was always playing tricks to scare her, saying that the eyes of the Buddha statue seemed to move and kept staring at Jinyue… As a result, Jinyue was badly frightened and accidentally fell into Yino’s embrace several times. Later, Yino treated Jinyue’s feet in and carried her, who had difficulty moving, on his back, stopping and starting abruptly…
These accidental contacts naturally involved skin friction. At the time, Jinyue thought Yino was just a pervert trying to take advantage of her, but considering that Yino had saved her life, Jinyue turned a blind eye. She didn’t expect that this guy was actually on the third level, even his perversion was an act. He was simply taking advantage of various opportunities to secretly pluck Jinyue’s hair!
“You! You despicable, shameless, and emotionally manipulative big pervert! Just you wait!” Jinyue held the fox hair in her hand and glared fiercely at Yino. After that, she simply ignored Yino out of anger, turned around, handed the compass to Chen Jianxin, and glared at Yino from time to time.
Jinyue was now somewhat afraid.
Although her original plan was to have Yino lead the way to the back mountain of the Wuji Sect to defeat Gu Wanglan, Yino’s current attitude of pretending to be dumb clearly showed that he was unwilling.
Since that was the case, Jinyue wouldn’t bother trying to be nice to him anymore.
-If you don’t want to go, fine! I’ll just have Chen Jianxin go!-
As long as she could find a way to lure Yuyan to the back mountain to save people before Gu Wanglan killed Chen Jianxin, Gu Wanglan would be eliminated, and Chen Jianxin wouldn’t die. The organization’s prophecy and mission would thus be thwarted. For Jinyue, it was nothing more than giving up Yino’s participation and reverting her plan back to the original version.
Destroying the prophecy was Jinyue’s primary goal. Yino’s involvement was just icing on the cake.
-What an ungrateful guy!-
-To think I even redesigned the plan for your sake, wanting you to replace Yuyan in killing Gu Wanglan and gaining merit!-
Standing beside Chen Jianxin, the more Jinyue thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She kept glaring at Yino with resentful eyes from time to time.
On the other side, seeing that Jinyue had finally given up, Yino also breathed a sigh of relief.
But the ahoge girl beside him became very worried-
“Young Master, shouldn’t we go help them?”
“If that Nine-Colored Compass can locate targets using different materials, then as long as we find some hair from the Nine-Colored Divine Deer in the snow village, won’t we be able to locate the whereabouts of the Divine Deer?”
Yunjin pulled Yino, as she was too verry worried about the Nine-Colored Deer.
Compared to Chen Jianxin’s self-interest, Yunjin seemed more anxious because that missing Divine Deer had truly saved her grandparents.
“You have a point.”
Seeing Yunjin so eager, Yino couldn’t refuse again, so he said, “Since the compass has been found, why don’t we go investigate if there are any materials left by the Nine-Colored Divine Deer here first?”
“That’s right! Let’s split up with Sister Jinyue!”
Yunjin quickly nodded and obediently followed behind Yino.
Yino surveyed the dilapidated shrine, confirming that Jinyue and Chen Jianxin were still studying the Nine-Colored Compass at the entrance. So Yino decided to take Yunjin and detour to a collapsed open-air ruin deep in the shrine, buried under heavy snow.
However, although Yino had the walkthrough from his previous life, now that he was personally standing in the ruins of this Divine Deer Shrine, he deeply felt the meaning of utter devastation.
In the past, when playing the game, he could easily move the wooden cylinders piled on the ground with a single click on the screen.
But now, Yino only had a pair of hands. Trying to lift these pillar-like thick wooden beams was truly a headache.
“Young Master, do you think there will be hair from the Nine-Colored Deer in these ruins?”
Yunjin stood at the edge of the ruins, also at a loss and not understanding why Yino wanted to come here.
After all, Yunjin was just a physician. Her contracted spirit beast was a bird, truly powerless when it came to moving heavy objects.
Moreover, with so many buildings in this snow village, there was no need to search for the Nine-Colored Deer’s hair in the shrine, right?
“My Wangxue said there’s a Divine Deer’s aura underneath… So, we should trust the nose of our fellow tribe member. Yunjin, stand back.”
Yino rolled up his sleeves, planning to tough it out.
Behind him, upon hearing about Wangxue, Yunjin suddenly remembered that mini deer that looked like the youthful version of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer.
Yino looked back, confirming that Yunjin had stepped away and that the other Wuji Sect members couldn’t see this side. Only then did he slowly manifest a ferocious black and red scaled arm armor on his left arm. Yino didn’t rush to start working. Instead, he pulled his clothes down to cover the appearance of this arm armor.
After that, he suddenly grabbed the stacked wooden pillars in the ruins with his left hand, then used all his strength to lift the pillars weighing over a ton.
“Damn, I didn’t know I was this awesome?”
Yino held the wooden pillar with his left hand, looking up in surprise.
But before he could feel confident for a moment, the blood-colored spiritual energy in his left arm showed signs of running out.
Clearly, this short burst of power didn’t belong to Yino.
“Yo-Young Master, be careful!”
Yunjin stood not far away, her face turning pale at the sight of this towering pillar swaying and about to collapse.
Yino suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in his left arm was running low. He urgently activated the golden stigmata on his right hand, squeezing out the last bit of the Nine-Colored Deer’s spiritual energy that was resting in the seal.
[!….?]
The Nine-Colored Deer woke up as if from a dream, not expecting that the little bit of spiritual energy it had just nourished hadn’t even warmed up before being drained by Yino again. It couldn’t help wanting to bleat and argue with Yino for another hour.
But as Yino exerted his full strength, hugging the swaying wooden pillar with both hands, the Nine-Colored Deer was squeezed to the point of not having the slightest energy to argue.
[you baa baa…]
The golden stigmata kept flashing with a faint light, cursing fiercely yet pitifully.
At the same time, Yino also sensed something was wrong. He kept stepping back, letting the tilted wooden pillar in mid-air collapse towards an area with no people.
