Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 548 - 540: Her Path

Her former Dao would only make her regret her choice in the future.

If there is regret, then it is not the Dao.

So, what exactly is her Dao?

Qian Qi pondered over this question.

"We’ve arrived."

Su Ang’s gentle and calm voice sounded in her ear. She snapped back to reality and couldn’t help but look up at the young man. "Su Ang, what is your Dao?"

The young man wasn’t puzzled as to why she asked such an untimely question, but instead, he earnestly said, "I don’t know."

In the past, he didn’t have his own Dao; everything was arranged by his father.

But after meeting Qian Qi, it seemed he had found his Dao.

He wanted her to survive, to see her smile, to make her happy.

For this, he was willing to sacrifice his life.

Yet he wouldn’t tell Qian Qi.

He understood Qian Qi’s temperament. She would never want anyone to sacrifice for her; she wouldn’t bear such a heavy consequence and would thus distance herself, never accepting his intentions.

His hand consistently held the girl’s hand tightly. "Qiqi, don’t rush. The Dao isn’t something you search for on your own. Someday it will come unexpectedly, telling you, ’Hey, I am your Dao.’

"Just like how you suddenly appeared and told me, ’Hey, I’ll be your girlfriend from now on.’

Qian Qi was amused by him and let out a chuckle.

Beside them, Xi Pingzhe rolled his eyes again, "I’m not saying this, but in such a tense situation, you two are flirting?"

"Ahem." Su Ang coughed lightly, naturally saying, "I can’t be bothered to explain to a single dog like you. When you find a girlfriend, you’ll understand."

Xi Pingzhe: "..." Well, I would rather never understand! Damn man flirting with the master!

"Master, what should we do next?" Xi Pingzhe looked at Qian Qi, obviously her career fan, rubbing his hands together eagerly. "Just tell me what to do!"

"Ah, just keep watch here." Qian Qi said with a smile, "Master is going to show you something you’ve never seen."

She slightly closed her eyes, and as she reopened them, a colorless light swept across them.

Her spiritual power, like countless long spears, pierced into the consciousness of the sleeping Titan Golden Armor Bull.

Immediately, Xi Pingzhe was stunned to see. His master merely blinked, and the Titan Golden Armor Bulls seemed collectively poked in the butt, and they sprang up, roaring furiously at the air.

Afterward, like receiving some guidance, they surged in a certain direction. Their thick limbs, in the midst of angry galloping, kicked up countless dust, causing Xi Pingzhe’s eyes to tear up.

"Let’s go, follow them!"

Qian Qi dragged Xi Pingzhe and Su Ang, rushing towards the direction the Titan Golden Armor Bulls were heading.

Su Ang took the opportunity to kick Xi Pingzhe.

Xi Pingzhe: ?

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

Xi Pingzhe vaguely recalled. Indeed, there was once he and Su Ang were both dragged up by the master. At the time, because Su Ang deliberately acted coy, he kicked him once...

Wasn’t it? Is Su Ang really that petty?

But back then he clearly dodged and mocked himself as a "rookie"!

"Su, Ang!" Xi Pingzhe clawed and danced, attempting to kick back. Suddenly, he sensed something, sharply turning his head to look beside the road.

"Wait, why does this road feel familiar?"

Isn’t this the road they took when coming?

"Are we returning the same way? But we went farther to find the Golden Armor Bulls, didn’t we?" Xi Pingzhe, with his strong sense of direction, quickly detected the oddity, "Now, as straightforwardly heading southwest can take us back to the dungeon entrance, why are we returning northeast?!"

Su Ang, held up by the back collar, floated like a flag in the air. Calmly, he said, "You find this road familiar, but do you also find that Magic Beast ahead familiar?"

Xi Pingzhe struggled to turn his head and looked as expected, seeing a familiar tall Magic Beast.

When they came, that Magic Beast was sleeping deeply, but now it was awakened by the Titan Golden Armor Bulls.

Somehow, a group of Titan Golden Armor Bulls, shouting about some kind of bond or friendship, rushed towards the tall Magic Beast, starting a fight.

Su Ang calmly said, "That Magic Beast is the dungeon BOSS."

Xi Pingzhe: Oh...

Xi Pingzhe: Oh oh oh?????

Realizing this, Xi Pingzhe’s jaw nearly fell to the ground. He trembled in his voice, "And when we came, we just swaggered past it...?"

"Oh, this Magic Beast’s response is essentially like that of a dog." Su Ang sincerely served as a commentator, "Normal, regular footsteps signal a recognition of safety in its environment. However, if you tread sneakily, it perceives that as abnormal, hidden behavior, meaning an enemy intends to attack sneakily."

"Thus, to avoid disrupting your pace due to fear, neither Qiqi nor I told you ^^"

Xi Pingzhe: ...

It was you and Master! Not you and Qiqi!

Despite being underestimated, Xi Pingzhe didn’t get angry. Compared to that, he felt more perplexed, "Why would those Titan Golden Armor Bulls attack the dungeon BOSS? How did they know it was the dungeon BOSS?"

Those Golden Armor Bulls were clearly asleep not long ago, suddenly woke up, then traveled such a long distance to attack the dungeon BOSS, as if ——

Wait!

Xi Pingzhe fearfully looked to Qian Qi.

"Master, could it be..."

Qian Qi nodded, "That’s right, it’s me."

"...you cast black magic on them!" Xi Pingzhe’s face looked even more horrified.

Qian Qi: "..." What the hell are you imagining!

"It’s an illusion, illusion," Qian Qi explained.

"So it was black magic!" Xi Pingzhe clapped his hands, suddenly realizing, "Master not only can calculate the dungeon’s location but also cast black magic! As expected from a hidden family!"

Qian Qi: ..."Alright, whatever you say."

She felt she would never need to explain to Xi Pingzhe in the future, anyway he could arrive at any answer he wanted on his own.

The three and a little wolf hid aside, witnessing the one-vs-many "group battle."

When the dungeon BOSS was about to be worn down by the Titan Golden Armor Bulls, Qian Qi manipulated her spiritual power to transform the Bulls’ illusion into the dungeon BOSS suddenly reviving, then drove them towards the dungeon entrance.

"Su Ang, go help Xi Pingzhe kill the dungeon BOSS, let him inherit an A-level dungeon reward!"

"Yes, Officer Qiqi."

The next second, Xi Pingzhe was lifted up by Su Ang.

Xi Pingzhe: ...#￥%...￥#%*...

Again with this routine!

Blame him for being too weak, one day he’ll become so strong that he can lift both Master and the damn man at once!

...

"Damn! This is the power of an S-Class Magical Beast!"

Outside the dungeon, Gong Qiang supported a giant hammer, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eardrums nearly shattered.

This Gilded Black Tiger Beast is incredibly strong!

"We’re doomed."

The Gong Family Army looked desperately at the Black Tiger Beast in the sky, their hot weapons almost exhausted, yet they haven’t scratched even a bit of its fur.

With absolute power difference, what’s the point in fighting on?
