Not even the news about the S Tournament’s events could overwhelm the news about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess and Black.

The most conflicted person in the live-streaming room was Bai Hao.

He was conflicted about the relationship between Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess and Black because Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had essentially become his emotional pillar in the last six months.

When he could not watch Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ live streams, he could not focus on anything else.

Although Bai Hao was single, he understood emotions and knew that he was only feeling this way because he missed Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ voice.

In spite of his uncertainty about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ relationship with Black, Black had to be close with Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess for his fey to appear by her side.

This upset Bai Hao greatly.

He was also excited because Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ willingness to compete with other hosts meant that she was not opposed to showing her face in a live stream.

The beauty-host community was the most cutthroat. Since Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess was a beauty host and was not against showing her face, it had to mean that her looks were above average.

The Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess could participate in a competition again soon, which would give him a chance to see how she really looked like.

Bai Hao felt that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess’ connection with Black gave him a chance to get to know her offline.

He had heard that Black was going to participate in this year’s Radiance Hundred Sequence exam. Given Black’s performance of his power at the Celestial Stairway, it was almost guaranteed that he would be able to join the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

At that time, both he and Black would be members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Bai Hao felt that Black would not reject his request to connect him offline with his idol.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuan was nurturing the Sharp Shadow Bat.

Chimey flew over and silently landed on his earlobe. This seemed strange to Lin Yuan.

He moved Chimey to his wrist and noticed that Chimey’s eyes kept darting in another direction instead of meeting his gaze. It seemed to be ashamed about something.

This confused Lin Yuan, and he did not know what had happened to Chimey.

However, he did not dwell on it.

Lin Yuan did not know that Tian Ningning had caught him and that she was currently sending Black a continuous chain of messages on Star Web.

…

It was as dark as night in the Grotto Continent. It was only at noon that a sliver of light would penetrate the underground world.

The few hours where sunlight entered the underground world was a reward to the creatures that lived in the Grotto Continent.

The middle of the afternoon was the warmest time in the Grotto Continent. At that moment, there was a young man huddled amongst a pile of rocks.

The young man had a resolute look on his face, but his scraped-up face that had sand sticking to it made him look rather sorry.

He was holding a stone awl and staring at a large armored insect chewing at small weeds on the ground nearby.

With one hand on the stone awl, Bei Xu placed his other hand on his abdomen and pressed down tightly.

This was to prevent his stomach from growling as it would attract the attention of the large brown armored insect.

Bei Xu could not help but think, Today is my lucky day. I can’t believe a Rock Hermit Insect wandered near my rock pile. Looks like I don’t have to go hungry today! I was really afraid that I was about to die of starvation soon and miss my chance to enter the Astronomical Parliament through my dreams.

The Astronomical Parliament was the only light at the end of the tunnel in Bei Xu’s life.

Over the last few days, Bei Xu’s mind had been filled with thoughts about that god-like man that was wrapped in laws and willpowers.

He was looking forward to meeting the man again.

As he watched the Rock Hermit Insect’s belly grow larger as it ate, Bei Xu lunged forward from his pile of rocks.

But after Bei Xu charged out of the rock pile, the pain from his injury caused him to tighten his jaw.

There was a wound about 20cm long on his calf. Although he had stitched it up to the best of his ability, his sudden movement strained the injury and caused dark red blood to flow out, quickly wetting the makeshift stitches.

He could not be bothered with the injury as he leaped over to the Rock Hermit Insect.

He raised the rock awl and smashed down on the Rock Hermit Insect’s weak outstretched neck.

However, the stone awl did not pierce through the Rock Hermit Insect’s neck. It was just embedded halfway in the neck.

Still, Bei Xu did not panic because he had not hoped the stone awl would penetrate through the Rock Hermit Insect’s neck.

The current situation was what he had expected.

After the single strike, Bei Xu immediately turned and dashed back to his hiding spot amongst the pile of rocks.

He picked up the slab of rock he had prepared in advance and held it against the entrance of his hiding position.

Suddenly, the Rock Hermit Insect opened its back armor and started flapping its wings.

When he heard the sound of the Rock Hermit Insect’s wings, Bei Xu felt a sense of relief.

The Rock Hermit Insect opened its back armor and wrapped it around his head.

The structure of its body was designed to protect the Rock Hermit Insect’s head from being injured during flight.

But this also allowed Bei Xu to push the stone awl deeper into the Rock Hermit Insect’s neck.

Since the Rock Hermit Insect had just eaten a large number of weeds, it had gained weight and prevented it from flying quickly.

After the Rock Hermit Insect lifted itself off the ground, the stone awl broke through the neck and got stuck in the armor.

Although the Rock Hermit Insect’s reaction was slow, it had gotten a good look at Bei Xu when he attacked it.

It charged at Bei Xu’s hiding spot like a small bomb.

The Rock Hermit Insect crashed against the stone slab, and Bei Xu felt his organs shake, his limbs go numb, and a bitter-sweet taste rise up in his throat.

However, he did not release his grip on the stone slab.

The insect cried out, and the sound of impact was covered along with Bei Xu’s grunt.

Half an hour later, the impact against the stone slab weakened significantly. Yet Bei Xu still refused to let up.

After some more silence, Bei Xu picked up a sharpened stone and walked out of his hiding spot.
