Chapter 20: Chapter 20: Being a Tyrant CEO Once

Seeing that they had returned to the shelter, Xiao Jinsheng skipped and hopped behind the four men who entered the house first.

Naturally, she didn’t notice that the man walking at the rear had a pair of orange-red eyes filled with an inscrutable expression as he gazed at her.

Xiao Jinsheng stood at the door and turned back. Due to the thick fog obscuring the view, she could barely make out Que Zelian’s blurry outline just three meters away.

She called out softly, "Hurry up and come inside. Why are you still stupidly standing at the door?"

Que Zelian sharply raised his gaze, his eyes eerie and deep. Despite the mist, he could clearly see Xiao Jinsheng’s radiant smile directed at him.

His long legs moved gracefully, his orange-red eyes filled with a predatory air.

But as he approached Xiao Jinsheng, his expression reverted to its usual refined and dignified elegance.

The blush on his face, caused by Xiao Jinsheng teasing him not long ago, still hadn’t faded.

Xiao Jinsheng enjoyed the scene, reaching out proactively to pull him into the house.

It was the second day since they arrived at Mist West, sometime around two o’clock in the afternoon.

But today, the sky dimmed even faster than yesterday.

This strange weather was puzzling to Xiao Jinsheng, though the five men with prior mission experience in Mist West seemed unbothered.

"Looks like Mist West is going to fog up these next few days," Huaiqing said.

Noticing Xiao Jinsheng’s puzzled expression, Huaiqing explained, "Mist Continent doesn’t distinguish between east and west; both areas have chances of fog. However, in Mist West, which is already shrouded in Poisonous Fog, the dangers of fog are exponentially heightened."

"At the very least, the durability of our bracelets struggles to hold out under these conditions."

"Our bracelets have a minimum durability of five thousand left. How much longer can we stay in Mist West?" Xiao Jinsheng asked curiously.

"If we encounter fog and provoke groups of Fog Corpses, five thousand durability points will last no more than three days," Huaiqing replied.

"That’s way too little for ten thousand points." Xiao Jinsheng slumped against the back of a chair in frustration.

"Then work harder on your physical training and improve your spiritual power," Yu Yunxiao added from the side.

Xiao Jinsheng blinked and hummed lightly at him, "I’m working hard! I’ve been absorbing Star Stones to enhance my physique, and I’m also brainstorming other ways to improve my spiritual power."
