Naming Technique of the Night

XiaoTongyun looked up at Jiang Xue, about to say something, but noticed that Jiang Xue had already devoured several pieces of ribs. She quickly shut her mouth and started to pick up vegetables in case all the ribs were eaten by Jiang Xue.

"Don't rush, don't rush, I can make more if it's not enough," Jiang Xue said with a gentle smile as she removed her apron.

"Thank you, it's delicious, and it's enough," Jiang Xue said, her mouth full of food.

Qing Chen sat opposite Jiang Xue, propping his chin with his hand, and asked, "When was this letter sent?"

"Three hours and twenty minutes ago," said Jiang Xue, her words muffled.

Qing Chen was startled for a moment. Since she had specified the exact time, it meant that she must have discovered the letter as soon as it arrived.

But why hadn't the girl given him the letter right away?

Wait, she couldn't have been waiting for mealtime to deliver the letter, could she?!

Qing Chen tentatively asked again, "Should I ask the sender to change the delivery address?"

"No need," Jiang Xue waved her hand holding chopsticks, "It's quite alright being sent to me, I'll bring it over to you at mealtime when I receive it."

"She's not saying her thoughts out loud now, is she," Qing Chen was shocked.

Jiang Xue, such a pretty girl, ate voraciously, almost making XiaoTongyun cry in a panic at her side.

After finishing her meal, she ladled out half a basin of hot and sour egg soup into her bowl, mixed it with rice, and ate until nothing was left.

And then she let out a satisfied burp.

"I'm not just freeloading, one piece of information for a meal, you're not losing out," Jiang Xue said.

"What information?" Qing Chen asked.

"From this afternoon, Kunlun's people have begun converging on Los Angeles City. These movements are easily detectable through transportation data and can't be hidden from outsiders," Jiang Xue said, "Therefore, the Wang Family will definitely notice the unusual mobilization of Kunlun. After today, in a short time, Los Angeles City will become a strategic location for Kunlun.

If they really intend to kill Liu Dezhu to avenge their daughter, it's likely going to happen tonight."

Because after tonight, it would be much harder for the Wang Family to find another opportunity.

"How many people has the Wang Family hired?" Qing Chen asked.

"I'm not sure about that," Jiang Xue replied calmly, "I only know that they've spent a great deal of money to hire a Transcendent, and the cost is beyond your imagination."

"Wait, they're making all this effort just to kill Liu Dezhu?" Qing Chen was puzzled.

"Never underestimate the anger and sorrow of a father who has lost his daughter," Jiang Xue said, "In your eyes, Wang Yun deserved to die for her faults, but in her parents' eyes, their child is always right. They believe it's excusable for their daughter to betray others when her life is threatened, at least, her actions don't warrant death."

Wang Yun's death in the Inner World wasn't the end of everything.

Because her corpse would still return to the Outer World.

For any parent, the sight of a living daughter suddenly turning into a gruesomely dead body is unbearable.

"Remember, the Wang Family has gone mad," Jiang Xue said, "I wouldn't be surprised by anything they do tonight."

"Which class is the Transcendent?" Qing Chen asked.

"I'm not clear about that," said Jiang Xue, "but I guess it won't be a very high-level Transcendent. Firstly, there are few high-level Transcendents among the Time Travelers, as there aren't many in the Inner World to begin with. Secondly, high-level Transcendents cherish their status. Making money is easy for them, there's no need to be at someone's beck and call."

Qing Chen frowned, uncertain of the enemy's level was a very dangerous thing.

If the enemy sent someone below D-Class, it might still be manageable, but if they sent a C-Class Transcendent, Liu Dezhu was likely doomed.

Considering he borrowed so many rules in the Taboo Land, C-Class Cao Wei was gravely injured and hung for more than twenty hours, yet he still managed to counterattack fiercely, and Qing Huai almost escaped under the pressure of the land's rules.

At C-Class, Transcendents start to embody the essence of transcending the ordinary.

Jiang Xue stood up and said, "I'm full now, time for business. I believe it's going to be a lively night tonight, make sure not to miss it. I'm going to check the situation near Liu Dezhu's place and be ready to enjoy the show."

With that, she walked out without further ado.

As she was opening the door, she suddenly turned as if she had remembered something and said to Jiang Xue, "Thank you, your cooking skills are amazing!"

After Jiang Xue had left, Qing Chen suddenly thought of something and chased after her.

However, he was met with an astonishing scene.

In the dark of the night, the girl stood outside the building, looking up at the sky. In an instant, the dust around her was stirred by an invisible force, dispersing in all directions.

The next moment, she soared into the air like an arrow released from a bow, vanishing into the thick night.

Qing Chen stood there silently, with only one thought in his mind: She can fly?!

Previously, when he was at the parking lot on Laojun Mountain, he had wondered what her abilities might be.

At that time, Qing Chen's guess was gravity because the movements of the thugs had become sluggish, as if the air had been compressed together into a pool of water.

Qing Chen recalled the scene that night seriously.

The thugs' eyes bulged out, blood vessels bursting, every clue indicating that they were enduring immense "pressure" within their bodies.

Thus, based on that battle alone, Qing Chen believed Jiang Xue's ability was gravity, no doubt about it.

But now, Qing Chen felt that her ability was broader than gravity: it was the power of force fields.

The ability to manipulate force fields.

From the patterns of the dust that had swirled up, it was unmistakably the effect of a magnetic field, and her flight into the night sky was the creation of a repulsive force field beneath her.
