# Chapter 422: Exploring the Truth of the Era! (Bonus Chapter)

Liuli was holding her head with one hand and gripping her knife with the other!
Trying her best to keep her wig from being blown off by the wind!
Her mental state was completely shattered!
Damn it!
What kind of cursed slippers did Jiangnan give her?
Why wouldn't they stop?
How long would she have to run before this came to an end?
Liuli was crying from desperation!
"Waaah~ wuwuwu~ waaah~"

Hearing the cries coming from behind him, Xiao Chuihuo's scalp went numb, and his hairs stood on end!
He was almost scared pissless!
Crying out: "If you have any grievances from when you were alive, tell me! Don't chase me anymore, dammit!"
This was already his fastest speed!

Liuli: !!!
The only grievance I have is that I believed in love!
[From Liuli's Resentment Value +1000!]

Was that Dean Xiao in the wheelchair?
How was he running so fast?
Did he think I was a ghost?
No no no! Things aren't what you think they are!
No way! I have to catch up and explain things to him!

Xiao Chuihuo was sitting in front, frantically racing forward!
Liuli was behind, desperately chasing with her knife in hand!
The two burst out of the small forest!
They came directly onto the empty playground!

On the rooftop of the Medical Technology Building!
Li Bing was leaning against the railing, staring at the starry sky with dark circles under her eyes!
A glass of red wine in her hand!
Beside her sat a bucket of braised beef noodles with a fork sticking out of it.
Then she saw an old man in a wheelchair rushing onto the playground track at 120 km/h!
"Ugh~ I shouldn't stay up late anymore. Am I starting to hallucinate?"

By now, Liuli had caught up!
"Aaaaah! Don't come near me! Someone! Save me! Someone save me, dammit!"
Liuli's pretty face was full of anxiety as she reached out to explain: "Xia..."
Reaching out like that was fine, but without her hand holding her wig down, it was directly blown off by the strong wind, revealing Liuli's little bald head!
The blown-off wig flew straight onto Xiao Chuihuo's face!
"Mmph!!! Mmph!"
Having lost his vision, Xiao Chuihuo's wheelchair tilted, skidded sideways, and flipped over!
The wheelchair and Xiao Chuihuo tumbled into a mess!
Amid a series of screams, the wheelchair shattered into pieces, and Xiao Chuihuo himself plunged headfirst into a pile of snow!

Liuli: ...
Better not explain after all. Let's just let it be a beautiful misunderstanding!
Otherwise, she was afraid she wouldn't graduate!

Liuli, whose wig had been blown off, felt she had no face to show anyone anymore!
So she lifted her nightgown, hid her head inside the collar, and tightened the neckline!
Running across the playground at alarming speed, she dove headfirst into the small forest...

Li Bing rubbed her eyes: "Dean Xiao? This... this isn't scientific!"
Anxious, she immediately rushed downstairs to rescue him!
30 seconds later, Li Bing ran back, grabbed the instant noodles, and hurriedly took three big slurps!
"Slurp~ slurp~ slurp~"
She also took a sip of soup!
"Phew~ phew~ slurp~"
Downed the red wine in the goblet in one gulp!
Then ran downstairs again!
Pulling Xiao Chuihuo out of the snow pile in one go: "Dean? Are you okay? Just now you..."
Xiao Chuihuo: !!!
"Xiao Bing? Don't worry about me! Quick! Wake up all the instructors in the academy! Catch a ghost!"
"I'm telling you! Th-there's something dirty in our academy! Might even be a Unknown or something! So... so scary!"
Li Bing: ???
I'm not interested in dirty things!
I'm more interested in how you managed to hit 120 km/h in a wheelchair!

All the instructors were called up!
This night was destined to be sleepless!

With a teleport, Jiangnan returned to Maple Forest Villa. The house had been cleaned spotlessly by Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao!
It was extremely quiet; obviously both had already gone to sleep!
Jiangnan grinned widely!
He had earned a total of 62.4 million from this stall session!
Although most of it had been deducted by the system as stall fees, it still converted into over six hundred thousand skill points. Added to what was left from before...
His skill points were now over 627,000!
Even Jiangnan himself hadn't expected foot massages to be so popular!
Jiangnan was now considering whether to develop a new all-in-one service!
Maybe learn ear cleaning, back scraping, scrubbing, cupping, and the like!
Then his little business would surely be booming and thriving!

Returning to his room, Jiangnan found a plate of sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap on the bedside table!
A small note stood beside it, saying: "Remember to eat!"
Next to it was a cup of bubble tea still warm, with a "ෆ" drawn on the cup with a marker pen!
Jiangnan rubbed his nose, his gaze softening!

With a teleport, he arrived at Zhong Yingxue's room. She was sleeping soundly.
(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Jiangnan gently smoothed the stray hairs from her forehead, grinned, and slipped a White Rabbit creamy candy into her palm!
Another teleport, and he was in Xia Yao's room!

Big Wolf Slayer was lying spread-eagle on the bed, riding the quilt, her little mouth open, her silver hair all messed up like a chicken nest!
He couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Sleeping with your stomach exposed again!"
Saying this, he pulled a corner of the quilt to cover her.
Popping open a Beauty Pill, he stuffed it into her mouth, then teleported away without a trace!

Xia Yao: (´˃̶ᴗ◔`)
"Hehe~ mm~ so sweet!"

Back in his room, Jiangnan threw himself onto the bed, only to notice some commotion outside.
Many people were holding flashlights, seemingly searching for something!
Not sleeping in the middle of the night?
How strange!

Just then, a voice sounded in his mind!
"Oh~ little troublemaker? Interested in chatting for a bit?"
Jiangnan jumped up from the bed with a start, his face full of terror!
No one was around, so where did the voice come from?
"Don't be afraid~ It's Han Menglu, using brainwaves to chat with you. If you want to say something to me, just think it. Don't resist!"

Jiangnan: !!!
"Brainwaves? You... you have voice call functionality too? Isn't that a bit too strong?"
"Hehehe~ I'm a spiritual-type ability user. There's a lot more I can do. For example, I can sense the surroundings anytime. You're really good at giving foot massages!"

Jiangnan's old face turned red!
Damn! She could even detect that? How terrifying was that?
"Sis... Sister Menglu also wants to go to heaven?"
[From Han Menglu's Resentment Value +333!]
"Hehe~ Maybe I can try it sometime!"
"But don't think about any weird stuff, okay? In this state, I can read..."
"Ah!!! Ptooey~"
[From Han Menglu's Resentment Value +666!]

Jiangnan's face reddened even more. Sin! Sin!
"Ahem~ Did Sister Menglu want to see me about something?"

Han Menglu took a long time to calm down from the images she had read, the blush on her face still not fading!
"I wanted to talk to you about the Unknowns. You've seen what they look like, right?"

Jiangnan couldn't help but recall that girl with two jade-like horns!
"Sister Menglu, what exactly is the deal with the Unknowns?"

Han Menglu was shocked for a long time, sensing the images transmitted back from Jiangnan's mind!
Only then did she reply: "We know very little about them. It's like an ant can never understand the existence of humans!"
"And in this hierarchy, we are the ants!"
"But what's certain is that the existence of the Unknowns is closely related to the appearance of Spirit Realms!"

Jiangnan was stunned: "How does it connect to Spirit Realms again?"

Han Menglu countered: "Why do you think Spirit Realms appeared in large numbers all over the world just over 20 years ago, directly triggering the Spiritual Energy Revival Era?"
"Is this really the world's first Spiritual Energy Revival?"
"21 years ago, Spirit Realms appeared all over the world! Spiritual Energy revived! The Unknowns were extremely active!"
"But as time passed, humans figured out cultivation methods, adapted to the changing times, and quelled the initial turmoil!"
"The figures of the Unknowns gradually disappeared, becoming almost impossible to see anymore. Don't you think that's strange?"
"What is the truth of this era?"

Jiangnan swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "What is it?"
"Hehehe~ Sister doesn't know either!"
"Everything is based on speculation. We're all walking along the path, exploring the truth of this era!"
