Fate Reignites: My Rampage in a World Where Time Stops-Chapter 191 Initial Subjugation of A-level Secret Realm (3600 Monthly Tickets in April added)
"It’s okay, bring Evelyn along too."
Yue Li suddenly smiled and said, "I’ll have Xiao Qing guard her in the sky at all times, and won’t let her encounter any danger."
Hearing this, and seeing Evelyn’s defiant gaze, Iron Hammer was a bit helpless but nodded his head anyhow, "Then I’m indebted to you."
Although he was worried about his and Evelyn’s safety, Iron Hammer also understood that A-grade Secret Realm expeditions could yield a huge amount of points. Even just a bit of loose change was enough for them to exchange for many needed resources.
This was a great opportunity.
"Let’s go." Yue Li smiled, stepped forward, and took Evelyn’s hand, "Although I don’t understand Russian, I believe we will get along very well."
Evelyn: "?"
She looked at her hand being held by Yue Li, lost in confusion.
With Iron Hammer’s thoughtful translation, knowing that Yue Li would take care of her, Evelyn’s expression suddenly turned to one of shock, as if Little Red Riding Hood had ended up in the hands of the Big Bad Wolf.
Seeing this, the smile on Yue Li’s lips deepened.
The most confused person in the field was probably Qin Chuan.
Didn’t Yue Li just say she understands Russian? Why did she suddenly not understand it again?
But noticing the subtle glance Yue Li sent him, Qin Chuan was certain in his heart and didn’t ask further.
"Let’s set off."
Xiao Qing brought a wild wind, carrying the four of them into the Time-Space Rift.
The next instant, the Time-Space Rift dimmed, and a line of giant text appeared on it.
[Secret Realm Subjugation in progress, only Luoyue Guild members may enter, remaining subjugation slots: 1]
The subjugation of the A-grade Secret Realm begins!
-----------------
"Boom!!!"
Accompanied by a loud roar, a three-story-tall Hall Rank Lv32 Earth Rock Bear crashed to the ground, its body covered in arcs of electricity and patches of dark marks.
Having cooperatively completed the kill, Silver Horn and Xiao Zi returned to Qin Chuan and Yue Li’s side, exchanging looks that seemed to carry a competitive undertone.
The next moment, the Earth Rock Bear dissipated into light particles, leaving behind a pile of Experience Gems and Secret Realm Stones, and in addition, a cluster of golden light.
That was a piece of dropped choose-your-own Low-level Resources.
As expected of an A-rank instance, even after killing Secret Realm Spiritual Beasts, resources could drop.
In this way, once the subjugation target was killed, the resources would definitely be more plentiful.
Waving his hand towards the uncle and niece duo not far off, signaling them to collect the dropped resources, Qin Chuan and Yue Li continued towards the deeper parts of the Secret Realm.
Iron Hammer was startled but then quickly led Evelyn forward to assist in collecting.
"Your demeanor right now is quite like that of a Guild Leader," Yue Li couldn’t help but laugh as she observed Qin Chuan’s performance, "earlier outside the Secret Realm too."
"Is that so? That’s good then," Qin Chuan shook his head with a wry smile.
Managing a guild was a first for him, and Yue Li’s encouragement made him feel a lot more at ease.
"Pretty handsome, keep it up."
Yue Li tossed out her words lightly with a laugh, hands clasped behind her back, her steps becoming even more sprightly, and those words tickled at Qin Chuan’s heart like a playful scratch.
Qin Chuan caught up quickly, lowering his voice, "Why did you tell Iron Hammer you don’t understand Russian?"
"I think that little girl called Evelyn is quite interesting," Yue Li pursed her lips and smiled, not hiding anything, "she thinks we are going to harm Iron Hammer, to take away his Talent."
"I plan to pretend not to understand Russian, to see what other bizarre ideas she has," Yue Li glanced at Qin Chuan with twinkling eyes, "just don’t give us away."
"Don’t worry," Qin Chuan smiled helplessly.
If Yue Li wanted to play, then he would play along.
As the two of them talked, three Hall Rank Spiritual Beasts surrounded them, but were then taken down as easily as chopping vegetables by the six little ones, leaving behind three more piles of resources on the ground.
Having just collected the resources and caught up to the two, Iron Hammer and Evelyn saw this scene and exchanged glances.
"Uncle Iron Hammer, they are so amazing..." Evelyn couldn’t help but mutter in a low voice, "This is bad, I might not be able to protect you now."

"Uncle’s not quite at the point where he needs your protection yet," Iron Hammer chuckled as he ruffled Evelyn’s hair. "Continue gathering resources. I’ll handle the Experience Gems, and you take care of the Secret Realm Stones and the rest."
"Okay," Evelyn said, staring at the colorful resources in front of her, unable to help swallowing hard. "So many resources, we..."
Before she could finish, a hand tapped her head neither too lightly nor too heavily.
"Don’t you dare steal any!" Iron Hammer glared. "Otherwise, at night, a four-eyed goblin will come and steal ten times more from you."
"...It’s another legend I haven’t heard of," Evelyn pouted as she diligently collected and logged the Secret Realm Stones and other resources.
"There’s still plenty of legends you haven’t heard of," Iron Hammer chuckled and began to tally the Experience Gems with practiced ease.
Before long, the uncle and niece pair caught up with Qin Chuan and Yue Li again.
-----------------
"That’s enough, no need to follow further."
Qin Chuan turned his head to look at the uncle and niece who had caught up again. "Yue Li and I have already cleared out this area. It’s very safe right now."
"The target for our quest is just ahead; just wait here for us."
"Got it," Iron Hammer acknowledged, aware of the vast gap in strength between them. "Good luck!"
Qin Chuan flashed a no-problem hand signal and, with Yue Li, headed toward the location of their quest target.
"Can the two of them win?" Evelyn suddenly asked.
"We have to believe in them," Iron Hammer raised his eyebrows and sat on the ground. "For now, all we can do is stay here and not wander off."
"After all, even a simple Hall Rank Spiritual Beast is not something we can handle."
"Okay..." Evelyn squatted on the ground, her chin propped in her hands. "Uncle Iron Hammer, I want to become stronger."
The experience of entering the Secret Realm with Luo and Yue Li had clearly left a significant impression on her, still a minor.
"We will grow stronger," Iron Hammer said softly, his gaze fixed on the distance.
A rumbling mountain split open, and a Bone Dragon, ablaze with dark fires, flew out, emitting a sorrowful wail that shook the soul.
Even from where they were, the two could hear it clear as day and see it distinctly.
"They’ve started."
On the other side, Qin Chuan and Yue Li looked up at the nearly hundred-meter-long behemoth before them.
[Combat quest triggered, Target: Sorrowful Bone Dragon·Casadan (Epic Rank Lv50)]
[Number of fighters: 4/5]
[Combat quest start]
An Epic Rank quest target didn’t just make a showy appearance; they also had their own names, something not found in Low-level Secret Realms.
Without a doubt, successfully taking down such a target would be immensely satisfying.
But... it was going to be immensely tough.
Watching the light explode from the Bone Dragon’s third eye and a segment of its spine, the domineering aura climbing higher, Qin Chuan moved behind Yue Li and gently covered her eyes with his hands.
"I’ll perform a magic trick for you."
Everything, including the overwhelming aura of the Sorrowful Bone Dragon·Casadan, froze. Looking up at the still light in the creature’s hollow eyes, Qin Chuan took a deep breath.
[00:00:47]
Time Stop!
[00:00:44]
"Boom!!!"
Along with a massive sound, the earth trembled violently as the Bone Dragon fell.
Watching the Sorrowful Bone Dragon·Casadan dissolve into a shower of light, leaving only resources behind, Qin Chuan took another deep breath and removed his hands from Yue Li’s eyes.
Three seconds, a small loss.
Yue Li stared blankly at the resources scattered before her, then turned to look at Qin Chuan. A strange light flickered in her bright eyes, and a moment later, she smiled.
"I like this magic trick."
