After completing the mission at the Loulan Ancient City Ruins, Yan Yan finally let out a sigh of relief. The economic crisis had eased, and she took the rare opportunity to step into the Adventurer's Tavern and ordered a dish—the Double Layer Beef Cheese Burger, which had been all the rage a century ago. A player named Swallow had recreated it based on ancient recipes, and it had now become the signature dish of the Adventurer's Tavern.
The rich aroma of cheese wafted through the air, enticing her taste buds and making her mouth water. Sipping on half-priced Oat Tea, she squinted her dark almond-shaped eyes, happily and leisurely enjoying this moment of relaxation.
Her gaze wandered over the items in her backpack, appraising each one. Aside from a set of Heavy Armor and a Half-Divine Artifact dagger, she decided to hold off on selling anything else for now; recently, the prices of Enhancement Gems and Gemstones had plummeted.
Lost in thought, she finished her Double Layer Beef Cheese Burger. As she pulled her gaze away, it suddenly landed on a delicate ring—the Heart Ring.
There was still one more task...
The girl lowered her eyes and bit her lip, feeling utterly perplexed about this mission with no clear direction. She opened the Forum; although there were hundreds of replies, not a single one contained useful information. Sighing, she closed the Forum interface and was about to get up when she caught sight of an outstanding figure. As her gaze swept past, she noticed a glimmer on the table that made her pause—it was—
Just as exquisite, just as intricate. The dark red ring in her hand mirrored the black ring held by someone else. Raising her gaze, she saw a face obscured by a Black Mask; the Black Veil clung closely to his features, outlining his chiseled jawline. The only visible part was a pair of Peach Blossom Eyes that were currently looking at her with an enigmatic smile.
Realizing he was returning her gaze, Yan Yan felt an embarrassing rush of heat as if she had been caught sneaking a look. Flustered, she quickly lowered her head; her ears burned crimson as she bit down on her lower lip. The urge to approach him and ask about the ring faded significantly.
The cold touch of the ring in her palm reminded her that if she missed this opportunity, this mission might come to an abrupt halt, rendering all her previous efforts meaningless...
After much internal conflict, she moved closer to the Man in Black Outfit who was lazily seated at his table. As she walked over with her head down, the first thing she noticed was his long legs stretched out across the path. Looking up, she found him resting his chin on his hand while watching her with keen interest. His gaze was playful and teasing, making Yan Yan feel increasingly anxious—what kind of vibe was this?
She wanted to facepalm or splash cold water on her flushed cheeks to cool down; her palms were growing sweatier under his calm demeanor.
"Um... I also have a Heart Ring; it's a Quest Item. I was wondering if yours is... If it's also a Quest Item, could you tell me how to complete this mission?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yan's cheeks turned even redder at having uttered such an embarrassing phrase as "Heart Ring." It felt like wanting to dig a hole and hide in it—especially with him looking at her with that knowing smile. Great... what if he didn’t respond?
How on earth do I complete this mission?
No wonder Auntie told her to keep quiet like a sawed-off gourd; that long-winded sentence had drained all her courage. At that moment, she didn’t even have the strength to lift her head.
All these tangled emotions swirled together until suddenly, a low chuckle broke through the tension.
"Ah..." The man casually poured a glass of Barley Wine and pushed it toward her, saying, "Sit down. We can discuss the mission in detail."
Hearing this, Yan Yan looked up. Was this an agreement?
The long-broken mission could finally continue!
In her excitement, she overlooked the fleeting glint of calculation in the man's Peach Blossom Eyes.
"Hello, I am Lightly Spoken. I've been working on the Heart Ring mission for over half a month now. I previously went to Blood Desolation Cave but found nothing. Do you have any clues?"
She stared at the top of his head for a moment, not seeing him reveal his ID. Suppressing her disappointment, she continued, "I came from a delivery task that mutated in the novice village. It's that hot topic delivery task from Mrs. Wei on the Forum. I don't know where it went wrong, but when I reached Wei Wuxin's part, this inexplicable Heart Ring appeared..."
The man in the Black Mask listened to her story with his eyes lowered. A slight smirk appeared on his red lips hidden beneath the Black Veil as he said, "The mission I'm working on is somewhat different from yours. However, after hearing your description, I have a rough idea of what needs to be done. If you don't mind, how about we form a team? We can share the mission as well."
Receiving the response she wanted made the girl genuinely happy; she squinted her eyes in delight. It was better to find a teammate than to stumble around blindly on her own!
At least he also had a Quest Item!
Without hesitation, she agreed to join his team and immediately shared the mission.
System: Player Qin Huai, do you accept the hidden mainline mission "Wei Wuxin's Hatred"?
Finally, she had received the Hidden Mission she desired. The smile beneath Qin Huai's Black Veil grew brighter. After unintentionally eliminating another player who dropped a Quest Item, she had finally located Blood Desolation Cave after much inquiry. However, she arrived too late; the mission was no longer available and could only find Lightly Spoken, who had gotten there first—waiting for her for over half a month—until she finally reappeared in Spring Day City. The fish had taken the bait...
"Yes."
System: Congratulations to player Qin Huai for starting the mainline mission "Wei Wuxin's Hatred."
System: Congratulations to player Lightly Spoken; Qin Huai has successfully shared the mission.
"Eh?"
Yan Yan looked curiously at the prompt that popped up from the Party Channel. Why was the other party just taking on Wei Wuxin's mission? Moreover, how did this Hidden Mission upgrade to a main quest?
A flurry of questions swirled in her mind as she stared into the deep, dark eyes of the other person with her large, bright almond-shaped eyes. "Haven't you taken on a mission before?"
Though it was a question, it was asked with certainty and directness.
Qin Huai neither confirmed nor denied it and countered with a question, "Do you have a team to run through Blood Desolation Cave?"
She shook her head.
"The mission clues are hidden in Blood Desolation Cave. After clearing it, there might be some hints. Let's go run through Blood Desolation Cave once. Hmm, if you're at Forty Levels... you should be able to manage. Let's go!"
With that, he stood up and, with a long stride, quickly exited the Adventurer's Tavern.
The short-legged girl struggled to keep up with him, watching his tall and slender figure as her cheeks flushed slightly. A charming blush spread across her cute face; there was something inexplicably alluring about him.
The two arrived at Blood Desolation Cave, where the throng of people at the entrance immediately engulfed the petite girl.
The man reached out and effortlessly lifted her up, wrapping his long arm around her waist and pulling her into his embrace. His arm hovered around her without making contact, causing her heart to race even faster.
