Even hybrid monsters have their day

"Don't even think about it," Jiao Lingfeng put down his water glass, leaned back on the sofa, and crossed his long legs on the floor. His gaze towards her was extremely serious and earnest. "The conditions for entering the historical space are extremely harsh. Let alone you now, even for me, it's absolutely impossible. Moreover, entering the historical space to change history is a very dangerous thing. The slightest mistake will result in being reduced to ashes and having your soul scattered."

"I see that other groups often have people who complete the time travel missions. Can't time travelers just travel between the past and the future?"

"How can that be the same? Even if those people traveled to the past, it's just one of those parallel universes, not the past of their own universe. Otherwise, why wouldn't there be a record of this in their history?"

Geng Miaowan thought about it and felt that Jiao Lingfeng's words made some sense, and then fell silent again, "So, is this the only way..."

Jiao Lingfeng crossed his legs and placed them on the coffee table. He had learned this move from Cang Yufeng, and he found it extremely comfortable.

This gesture would normally seem somewhat unrefined in front of outsiders, but when he did it, Geng Miaowan didn't find anything wrong with it at all; in fact, she thought it looked quite good.

However, she was not in the mood to appreciate it right now.

"It can only be this way."

Hearing this, Geng Miaowan's face showed a trace of sadness. According to the information, three months after she left, Peng Yuxian used Qiu Pi's research results to produce a large quantity of medicine, which he mixed into nutrient solutions and nutrient solutions. Those who took the nutrient solutions and nutrient solutions obeyed him, while those who did not were all killed by his men.

In just one week, he had conquered the entire country, and now, his ambitions are gradually extending to all of humanity. And all of this, simply because she trusted the wrong person… How could she possibly bear this!

Seeing her expression, he continued, "Do you know what the world will become after you help Qiu Pi eliminate Peng Yuxian, this threat?"

Geng Miaowan shook her head.

"In the end, Qiu Pi ruled the world, only a hundred years or so later."

Geng Miaowan stared in shock, her lips trembling slightly as she tried to ask why this was happening, but she couldn't utter a single sound.

"What's wrong? Scared?" Her stunned expression seemed to amuse Jiao Lingfeng. He chuckled softly, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Actually, your actions didn't change anything; they just accelerated their development."

"So, no matter who I help, the final fate of the humans there is the same?" This was completely unexpected, and...

"You're asking why, since the outcome is predetermined, we still sent you on this mission?" Jiao Lingfeng asked, seeing her sudden realization, voicing her thoughts. Seeing her nod, he continued, "Actually, there are reasons why we did all this..."

Of course, almost simultaneously, Geng Miaowan anticipated Jiao Lingfeng's next words as soon as he uttered those words. And Jiao Lingfeng indeed said exactly what she expected, "But I can't tell you right now."

……

"Why?" she couldn't help but ask.

Jiao Lingfeng leaned back on the sofa, staring at Geng Miaowan. Her young face held an inexplicable determination as she looked at him. Such a stunning face would surely grow into a devastating figure, but he wasn't sure if she was capable of shouldering such a heavy responsibility.

Although the results of their consultation with the divine power left behind by the ancient gods were very similar to those of the young woman before them, and although he had strongly supported the claim in front of the other temples that this person was the one the ancient gods had foretold, deep down, he was still not entirely sure if it was truly her. Or even if it was her, he wasn't sure if she could actually overcome such a challenge.

At this moment, looking at Geng Miaowan like this, Jiao Lingfeng felt for the first time that he should perhaps tell her the truth. However, this feeling was fleeting and he suppressed it. Before he was absolutely certain about the person, he could not reveal a single detail, otherwise, if it were leaked, it would not only give opportunists a chance to exploit the situation, but it would also inevitably cause chaos in the Underworld, and even in the Six Realms.

"You will know when the time comes."

What kind of answer is that?!

Although Geng Miaowan was dissatisfied with Jiao Lingfeng's perfunctory attitude, she had no choice but to return home since he wouldn't say anything.

Inside a private room at the bar, Geng Miaowan sat alone, lost in thought. A moment later, the door opened, and a voluptuous young woman walked in.

She was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, but even such a simple outfit made her look unique.

"You're here? Have a seat." Geng Miaowan pointed to the sofa next to her, picked up the wine on the table, poured a glass of wine into it, and handed it to her.

Shui Hanling glanced at the pale golden liquid in the clear glass; it was her favorite Worry-Free Wine. Despite its name, it was actually just a beverage, but its price was much higher than that of ordinary wine. Without hesitation, she took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Setting down her glass, all that remained in her mouth was a sweet and refreshing taste. "So, what brings you here?" She wasn't naive enough to think that Geng Miaowan had invited her for drinks to rekindle their professional friendship.

Upon seeing this, Geng Miaowan smiled, her dark eyes gleaming with an unusual light in the lamplight. "Miss Shui is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

As she spoke, she poured Shui Hanling another glass of Worry-Free Wine.

Shui Hanling glanced at her sideways, but neither picked up her wine glass nor spoke.

"Actually, I just wanted to ask Miss Shui for some information."

"I don't have any information for you to ask." Looking at Geng Miaowan's appearance, Shui Hanling had a feeling that what she was asking for must not be ordinary information, so she instinctively refused.

Although she loves gossip and knows countless things, big and small, she also knows that there are some things that should never be said, otherwise it will definitely cause big trouble.

"Miss Shui, you're too kind," Geng Miaowan said, pretending not to understand the refusal in her words. She pushed the wine glass closer to her, and under the glass was a white note: "Who doesn't know Meng Po of the Underworld? She knows everything in the Six Realms..."

Shui Hanling looked at her, reached out to take the note, and opened it.

When the words on the note came into her view, a sudden light flashed in her eyes, then vanished just as quickly. After a moment of hesitation and struggle on her face, she asked softly, "What is it?" (To be continued.)
