In response to Gu Qianxue's proposal, Xie Yao became silent and did not respond immediately; she hesitated.

Although Xie Yao did not know exactly what Xie Feng was doing in the real world, she had her own conclusions about it. Precisely based on those conclusions, Xie Yao knew that Xie Feng was not a fan of traveling to Beijing and that was why they both spend most of their time in Shanghai.

It could be said that Shanghai was a kind of "mini-domain" in which Xie Feng could feel at ease.

Gu Qianxue easily noticed the hesitation in Xie Yao's gaze, so she approached and took her hand gently: "Is something wrong?" she asked in a low voice.

Xie Yao shook her head, but then she sighed and nodded: "Although I don't know why you pretend to be an innocent girl who knows nothing about the world in front of everyone, even your father; I know you are a very intelligent girl... You must also know that the big brother Xie Feng and you are not family or anything, right?"

Gu Qianxue nodded: "Yes. From the moment that my father told me that I had a distant cousin on my mother's side in Shanghai, I knew that it was really a lie... Of course, I don't hate my father for being so protective about me; after all, the number of assassination attempts against me is already too many to count".

Gu Qianxue put on a bitter smile and shook her head: "So, from the beginning I knew that Xie Feng must be a powerful person. I also did some research by myself..." she looked at Xie Yao with a hesitant look and said slowly: "So I also know about you... I also know that your parents died in a suspicious accident."

"So why did you decide to come to Shanghai, even though you knew you would be controlled in some way" Xie Yao frowned. She didn't worry about Gu Qianxue doing research on her, after all, it was normal for her to be cautious about going to live with two people she didn't know.

"At first I just wanted to escape from Beijing..." Gu Qianxue talked a bit sadly: "When I wasn't born yet, my father and the patriarch of the Nangong family had reached an agreement. This agreement was that their next descendants would be engaged by marriage... Due to the fact that my Gu family was receiving too much pressure from the alliance between the Yao and Nangong families, my father had no choice.

Although I was supposed to be engaged with Nangong Chen, my father refused fervently to let my husband be a piece of scum who only knew how to play with women and drink alcohol all day. With no other option, Patriarch Nangong chose the next successor to his family, Nangong Lei. That way, my father would have no more complaints about it... That's why I decided to escape from Shanghai."

"What!?" Xie Yao raised her voice without being able to avoid it. She didn't mind losing the ladylike behavior her parents instilled in her and said in fright, "Are you engaged to Nangong Lei?"

Gu Qianxue looked at Xie Yao in confusion: "That's right. Although Nangong Lei is treated as a dream man by countless women and even surpasses Yao Zenyu in many points, I have no intention of marrying him. I have already decided to spend the rest of my life with Xie Feng," Gu Qianxue said the last words with a smile.

Xie Yao turned pale and muttered, "It's not good, it's not good. If big brother Xie Feng finds out about this then there will be a huge problem!"

Xie Yao is usually very calm and rarely loses control over herself. At least, Gu Qianxue only saw Xie Yao like this once and that was when she heard Mu Wuying's voice in the university. Therefore, seeing Xie Yao so nervous, Gu Qianxue began to get scared and quickly asked, "Xie Yao, you are scaring me. What's wrong?"

"Girl! You clearly don't know how possessive he is!" Xie Yao grabbed Gu Qianxue's shoulders: "Although he usually has a smile on his face and is hard to make him angry if someone tries to take away something he considers his own then he goes crazy!"

Xie Yao took a deep breath and said slowly, "The first time I met big brother Xie Feng, he was furiously beating a boy who was older than him because that boy had taken his umbrella away from him... Now you try to imagine how he'll be when he finds out you're really engaged."

Clearly Gu Qianxue had never thought about that, because when she heard Xie Yao's words, she too began to worry. However, the arrival of a group of people caused that both of them did not have much time to discuss.

"I finally found you, Miss Gu." A magnetic and charming voice that was like a woman magnet interrupted the conversation of both ladies.

Seeing the man approaching with a small group of people surrounding him, Xie Yao's face under her mask changed slightly and she tried to communicate with Xie Feng.

[The player you are trying to communicate with is currently in a special map or sealed map, so he cannot receive calls]

With no other option, Xie Yao could only send a message to Xie Feng's inbox telling him where they were and the situation.

Now, she could only pray silently for Xie Feng to come out as soon as possible.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Xie Feng naturally had no idea what was happening in the outside world. At this point, he was trying to find a way off the bottom of the precipice.

Xie Feng looked back and asked, "Hey, Ling Long, did you find anything?"

"Puuh, Puuuh!" Ling Long looked back on her two hind legs and extended both empty hands, then shook her head. Clearly, she didn't find anything either.

" *Sigh*... Let's keep looking a little longer then."

With no other option, both partners began searching part by part. They even looked carefully at the marks on the walls for fear of missing something important.

Perhaps, even if she was not a dog, Ling Long's sense of smell was overdeveloped since, fortunately for Xie Feng, after about ten minutes of searching she seemed to find something.

"Puuh, Puuhu!... Puuuh!"

"What? Did you find something? Where is it?"

"Puuh puh puuh!"

"So you're saying I should destroy this wall?"

"Puuh, puuh!" Ling Long nodded with a smile.

A strange communication between master and pet took place several kilometers underground.

Xie Feng carefully approached the wall marked by Ling Long and watched it for a moment. Without finding anything, he shook his head: "Ling Long, go back. Let me show you the power of your master."

Ling Long took a great leap backwards and looked at Xie Feng with her big black eyes shining brightly.

Xie Feng nodded and pulled the Calamity Spear from his inventory. Taking the spear in both hands, he leaned his body forward a bit and the head of the spear pointed to the ground. After he separated his legs a bit and felt comfortable with his stance, Xie Feng stabbed the wall in front of him without hesitation!

*Bang!*

*Crack...*

A small crack appeared on the rock.

The players generally do not have the power to damage scenarios. This is not because of lack of attack power, it is because to damage scenarios and structures, you need the rare and powerful effect "Destruction"!

The "Destruction" effect was an effect that completely ignored the system's protection of physical structures, so even in the late stages of the game, it was rare to see items with such an effect. However, Xie Feng had the Ring of the God of Destruction and the Calamity Spear; with both, Xie Feng had a 50% chance of causing destruction!

This means that an average of one out of two attacks by Xie Feng would destroy the scenarios! Therefore, without hesitation, Xie Feng stabbed the wall in front of him with his spear without stopping to rest.

*Bang...* *Bang...* *Bang...* *Bang...*

The sound of bangs was extremely noticeable in the silent abyss. The initial small crack gradually expanded as Xie Feng's strikes fell on the wall like a flood.

*Crack...* *Crack...* *Crack...* *Crack...* *CRACK!* *AUGE!*

Finally, after two minutes of constant attacks, the part of the wall that Xie Feng was attacking could not resist the pressure and collapsed.

Xie Feng quickly jumped back and took up a defensive position just in case.

*Swoosh!*

The dust dispersed and Xie Feng relaxed his stance after seeing what was being covered by the rocks. There, silently, was a blue teleportation portal about two meters high and one meter wide shining and illuminating the place.

Although he had no idea where he would be teleported to after crossing the portal, Xie Feng could not help but smile. He lifted Ling Long off the ground and gave her a big kiss on the forehead: " Hahaha! Good job, Ling Long! Thanks to you we can finally get out of this damn place!"

"Puuh!" Ling Long closed her eyes and rubbed her head on Xie Feng's chest affectionately.

"Okay, return for now. We don't know what's on the other side," Xie Feng quickly calmed down and said.

Ling Long nodded and became a ray of white light; she had returned to Xie Feng's pet space. Since Ling Long was still level 0, even with her high HP, Xie Feng did not want to risk her being killed through carelessness on his part.
