Chapter 115: Absolute Royal Authority, The Plan
As Su Ning looked closely, the person standing in front of her wasn’t anyone else—it was Fu Qingge, and at this moment, he looked extremely disheveled and miserable.
The moment her eyes landed on Fu Qingge, Su Ning couldn’t help but curse inwardly, “Seriously? What kind of bad karma do I have to run into him again?”
All she wanted to do was turn around and walk away, to get as far away as possible from this walking disaster.
But she didn’t expect Fu Qingge to react fast enough to call out and stop her.
“Su Ning, wait a moment!”
Su Ning, however, had no interest in interacting with him. She was genuinely afraid that she might end up taking the fall for Xi Chunyan’s mistakes, especially since the troublemaker had been brought here by Fu Qingge in the first place.
With clear annoyance, Su Ning replied:
“Mr. Fu, I don’t think we have anything worth discussing, do we?”
Fu Qingge looked visibly anxious and hurriedly said, “Su Ning, I’m really sorry, but I can’t find my sister or my friend anywhere. I wanted to ask if you’ve seen them?”
At this point, Fu Qingge was still unaware that those two had already been taken by terrifying monsters.
If Su Ning could speak her mind, she’d probably say, “Seen them? Not only did I see them, your ‘friend’ even tried to drag me down with her! They both got captured by monsters!”
Fu Qingge was hoping to get any useful information from Su Ning, but seeing her remain silent, he directly pulled out a handful of twenty gray-white beads from his pocket.
Yes—Hearts of Mist.
Su Ning raised an eyebrow. “So?”
Fu Qingge offered, “I hope Miss Su will tell me what you know. These Hearts of Mist are all yours.”
Without hesitation, Su Ning took the Hearts of Mist. Since they were being given for free, there was no reason to say no.
In exchange, she shared the full story of what had happened.
When Fu Qingge heard that his sister and friend had been captured by the Mist Monsters, he immediately fell into deep anxiety and confusion.
What he couldn’t understand was:
Why did Su Ning stand by and do nothing? Why didn’t she try to save them?
That thought took over his mind—and without thinking, he blurted out, “Why didn’t you save them?!”
Su Ning was stunned by his entitled and accusatory tone.
After a short pause, she let out a cold laugh and responded, “Why should I save them? Besides, I didn’t have the power to do it.”
Then, Su Ning explained in full detail how Xi Chunyan had tried to drag her down to die with her.
Hearing this, Fu Qingge’s face immediately turned embarrassed and grim.
Su Ning sneered, “Let’s not even talk about whether I had any duty to save them. Just from what Xi Chunyan tried to do, I was tempted to personally finish her off myself.”
After saying that, she turned around to leave.
But before she could take a step, Fu Qingge blocked her way again.
Su Ning’s face darkened as she glared at him and said coldly, “Mr. Fu, what now? Are you planning to avenge your sister?”
Fu Qingge lowered his head slightly, his eyes flickering with a trace of barely concealed anger. But thinking of his sister and friend, he spoke calmly, “Su Ning, let’s work together. If we can successfully rescue them, I’ll give you whatever you want.”
Su Ning, however, had zero interest in agreeing.
After all, the three Lords of the Mist were absolutely terrifying.
To agree to help Fu Qingge would be tantamount to suicide.
She couldn’t help but wonder, “Does Fu Qingge seriously believe the two of us can take on the three Mist Lords, plus all the other monsters?”
But through their conversation, Fu Qingge had learned about the Mist Lords and had started to understand just how dangerous they really were.
Still, he had a few trump cards he hadn’t revealed yet.
Thinking of this, Fu Qingge paused for a moment.
In previous instances, he had obtained a treasure chest and opened several powerful items.
Then, Su Ning watched as he took out three mysterious items: A scepter, A talisman, And a crown.
[Item: Absolute Royal Authority]
One-time ability – Absolute Command:
Ignore power level differences and issue a command to one or more people, forcing them to be unable to move.
Duration: 10 to 30 seconds.
Note: The king’s order must be obeyed!
[Item: Space Transfer Talisman]
One-time ability – Group Teleportation:
Can instantly teleport multiple people within a specific area.
[Item: Crown of Thorns]
One-time ability – Thorn Barrier:
Generates an energy shield that nullifies all damage.
Any attack on the shield will be reflected back.
Duration: 3 minutes.
Seeing these powerful and mysterious items, Su Ning was deeply astonished.
Especially the scepter and the crown—their abilities were like game-breaking cheats, almost too good to be true.
The Absolute Royal Scepter could ignore power levels entirely and control enemies for up to 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, the Crown of Thorns granted near-invincibility, reflecting all incoming attacks for a full three minutes.
How could she not be shocked?
Fu Qingge looked at her with conviction, “With these three items, I believe we can rescue my sister and friend.”
But Su Ning remained skeptical, “If you have these items, why don’t you just go alone? Why ask me to join you?”
Fu Qingge explained, “Each player can only use one of these items. You can’t use more than one at the same time. That’s why I need your help.”
After that, he pulled out one more item:
[Spiritual Item: Purple Blood Grape Seed]
A special plant seed that grows into Purple Blood Grapes.
Eating them can restore injuries.
Fu Qingge added, “If you agree to help me, I’ll give you this seed right now.”
Su Ning paused to think.
A control item, a defense item, a teleport item, and now a healing item. On top of that, he was offering her rare seeds.
To be honest, Su Ning was tempted.
With items like these, rescuing people should be easy.
Not only that—Su Ning also saw this as a good opportunity to snatch some treasure chests while they were at it.
But then, she thought of how Xi Chunyan tried to betray her—and now she was supposed to go save that same person?
The thought made her feel sick.
“Forget it. Rescuing people is Fu Qingge’s business. I’ll just use the scepter to control the fight and grab some loot while I’m at it.”
Having made up her mind, Su Ning agreed to work with Fu Qingge.
No need to pretend—she directly used her space ability to absorb the Purple Blood Grape Seed.
Fu Qingge was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Su Ning to also have a planting space.
Su Ning glanced at his injuries and asked, “Are you really okay in this condition?”
Fu Qingge replied, “I’m fine. Let’s move quickly!”
