Chapter 963: His Majesty Seduced Qingqing, Each More Insane Than the Other (2)
His eyes were captivating, a rare phoenix eye shape, exuding a dark, enticing seduction with every blink.
Yet, his gaze was steady and unwavering, free from any impurities.
Si Fuqing suddenly pushed him away and sat up. “I’m going to find Ningning. I’ll transfer the money to your account later.”
She quickly stood up, grabbed her laptop, and ran off.
Yu Xiheng straightened up, a slight twitch in his eyebrow. He picked up the teacup and thought to himself with a calm expression.
Quick to escape.
Next ti, she wouldn’t be so lucky.
Si Fuqing hurried back to her hotel.
Jiang Changning was eating snacks. Seeing her return, she asked curiously, “Weren’t you with Mr. Yu? Why are you back so soon? Did sothing happen?”
Si Fuqing looked up, her expression somber. “I think my big sponsor tried to seduce .”
Jiang Changning was speechless.
“I’m a person with strong willpower. Normally, I wouldn’t react to such attempts,” Si Fuqing said righteously. “But he matches my aesthetic perfectly, and he even used vocal attacks on ! Truly black-hearted!”
“Seduction won’t work on . I won’t agree to a 60-40 split. At most, it’s a 50-50 split, and that’s being generous. No one else will get a penny from !”
Little Bai raised its paw.
It confird that its stingy owner was telling the truth, even it was shortchanged on dog food.
Jiang Changning sighed. “Have so snacks, they’re freshly made.”
Si Fuqing’s attention was diverted, and she happily picked up so snacks to eat.

The Five State team smoothly passed the third elimination round, leaving only the finals.
The Five State team quickly beca the favorite to win, even overshadowing the West Deities team.
This OPL competition had two pentakills, both by the Five State team, while other teams had at most triple kills.
Si Fuqing regrettably noticed the odds were decreasing, making it harder to earn more money.
“Big brother, I found out why there are so many wandering spirits,” JI Xingzhi said, knocking on the door as he entered. “A nether spirit is about to erge in Mount Akahara. According to my calculations, it’s either today or tomorrow.”
Nether spirits were emperor-level bound spirits with over five hundred years of cultivation, requiring at least twenty Celestial Masters of Yin-Yang to suppress.
Si Fuqing’s eyes narrowed slightly. “No movent from the four major families of Eastern Mulberry?”
“They’ve sent people,” JI Xingzhi said. “I’ve heard that the insane girl from the Kusonoki family is coming too. Though they’re all insane, you’re still the most insane, big brother.”
“The insane girl from the Kusonoki family?” Si Fuqing raised an eyebrow. “Kusonoki Akatsuki?”
“Yes,” Ji Xingzhi said seriously. “She’s not only a Class-S evolved being but also a Celestial Master of Yin-Yang.”
“I see,” Si Fuqing said, stroking her chin. “If she’s been alerted, it must be a serious matter.”
JI Xingzhi paused suspiciously, then said, “Don’t tell you know her.”
Si Fuqing nodded. “We’ve t and fought a few tis. Unlike you, we didn’t start as online friends.”
JI Xingzhi was speechless.
Indeed, insane people attract each other.
“With so many people going, we don’t need to join the crowd,” Si Fuqing said, leaning lazily on the chair. “I’ll focus on preparing for the final match.”
JI Xingzhi nodded. “Indeed, our presence isn’t necessary.”
The phone rang, and Si Fuqing glanced at it before answering. “Elder Cai.”
“Hello, Fuqing. Are you in Eastern Mulberry?” Cai Zhongnian’s cheerful voice ca through. “Great, Great Xia University has a dical exchange program there. They went into the mountains for a survey today and have a seminar tomorrow afternoon. You should attend.”
“Into the mountains?” Si Fuqing’s expression changed. “Which mountain?”
“Mount Akahara,” Cai Zhongnian said. “It has thousands of years of history and well-preserved natural scenery. They’re surveying wild dicinal herbs. Professor Xiang, leading the team, has deep knowledge in cell engineering and genetics.”
“You’re studying this area, right? It’s a good opportunity to learn from Professor Xiang.”
Si Fuqing exchanged a glance with JI Xingzhi, her voice grave. “Elder Cai, please contact Professor Xiang imdiately and tell them to co down the mountain. There’s sothing wrong with that mountain. It’s dangerous.”
“Dangerous?” Cai Zhongnian was puzzled but didn’t ask why. “Alright, I’ll contact them right away.”
A few minutes later, Cai Zhongnian called back, his tone serious. “Fuqing, there seems to be a problem. I can’t reach them. The system says they’re out of service.”
“Trouble,” Si Fuqing said, eting JI Xingzhi’s eyes. “Let’s go.”

Mount Akahara.
The sun was setting, painting the sky red, like a white lantern burning with red flas, dazzlingly beautiful.
Mount Akahara was also a tourist spot, but at this hour, visitors were descending the mountain.
Professor Xiang’s survey team, however, was still ascending.
“Professor, in two hours we’ll reach the summit,” Wei Chengyun said. “The tents and equipnt are ready. We can stay overnight.”
Professor Xiang, a woman in her sixties with high expertise in cell transplantation and genetics, nodded kindly. “Alright, we’ll follow your plan.”
They continued upwards when suddenly they heard rapid footsteps behind them.
Wei Chengyun instinctively turned and was stunned to see the newcor. “Miss Si? Why are you here?”
Everyone turned to look.
Chen Wenxin was also stunned.
Wu Wanying never expected to see Si Fuqing here.
Since being removed from “The Birth of an Employee” by Director Qin, she had harbored a grudge.
But the past three months had been smooth for her. She had completed her thesis on cell transplantation and was set for a high score in her May defense. Her ntor was even applying for a patent for her.
During this period, nothing had obstructed her path, and she was about to beco a successful person.
However, Si Fuqing’s appearance brought back the oppressive feeling from “The Birth of an Employee.”
It made her restless.
Si Fuqing nodded slightly at Wei Chengyun. “I’m here for a competition and just dropped by.”
Professor Xiang recognized her. “I rember now, Elder Cai ntioned you…”
“Yes, that’s . Professor Xiang, it’s dangerous to enter the mountain at this ti,” Si Fuqing said, glancing at the sky. “Given your age and the fact that the won in the team have a Yin constitution, it’s best to descend now. Sothing bad might appear soon.”
The period before dusk, known as the “ti of eting demons,” was considered cursed by the Yin-Yang world of Eastern Mulberry.
One must leave Mount Akahara before dusk, or they wouldn’t be able to escape once the nether spirit erged.
Professor Xiang was taken aback. “B-Bad things?”
“Yes, so things science can’t explain but are real,” Si Fuqing said. “For safety, descend now and return another day.”
“Si Fuqing, what are you talking about?” Wu Wanying couldn’t stand it anymore. She closed her eyes and sneered coldly. “This isn’t a variety show, no need for dramatic effects. Are you saying there are ghosts here? It’s not even that late; the sun is just setting!”
“You don’t know the hardships of dical students, do you? You’re a big star; how would you understand our struggles?”
In modern society, where are these supernatural things?
Utter nonsense!
“Professor, don’t listen to her,” Wu Wanying turned to Professor Xiang. “She’s just a star who participated in a dical job-seeking show. She probably thinks she’s a real immortal now.”
It’s just a mountain. Why shouldn’t they climb it?
She insisted on climbing.
