Chapter 1689: Chapter 1684: There Are Also Gaps

This is the gap, the chasm of demigods is not something to be taken lightly.

Fu Qian could only sigh at the starkly different responses from Wen Li and Yuan Shan.

Even though Wen Li is quite perceptive within the Fourth Phase, she ultimately lacks the legendary divinity, and in some overly abstract changes, she lacks some sensitivity.

A full seventeen fish—this doesn’t mean that Chief Yuan has been granted the authority of a glutton, stuffing his belly with that many.

Rather, the process of eating fish has already happened seventeen times.

It is an extremely subtle feeling, not implying that Yuan Shan used seventeen different methods to eat fish, but rather the exact same experience is constantly recurring.

Fu Qian believes that even for Chief Yuan, it’s just a strange counter in his perception.

While Wen Li couldn’t even detect the existence of this counter at all.

Of course, the gap doesn’t exist only between the two of them—in his own counter, the number is twenty-nine.

Even among divinities, there are differences.

”This process has imperceptibly repeated itself seventeen times?”

At this moment, under the conversation of the two powerful beings, Miss Wen quickly comprehended and, inhaling incredulously, stared blankly at the plate in front of Yuan Shan.

Shouldn’t she be relieved that the inventory wasn’t truly depleted by seventeen fish?

Skillfully adopting the mindset of a cunning capitalist, while feeling glad for them, Fu Qian also nodded slightly.

”You can think of it that way, but it’s already over now.”

Considering Chief Yuan’s feelings, he didn’t even correct the issue with the statistical data.

...

”In previous experiences, I didn’t notice any similar clues either.”

Wen Li naturally knew that Fu Qian and the others didn’t come here merely to eat fish.

After sending her away, the two had evidently reached some consensus, believing that the extraordinary force would definitely reappear, and decided to wait here in a bold manner.

However, the anomaly indeed came a bit too fast and became increasingly eerie.

”Including my current emotional state, everything is normal. I don’t feel the same as I did back then.”

Unable to discover anything, Wen Li didn’t waste time expressing her emotions; she chose to examine herself to the best of her ability, providing reference information.

”Your feeling is correct; just now, it seemed like you were simply helping to enjoy the delicacy a few more times.”

Regarding this, Fu Qian casually acknowledged it and then looked towards Yuan Shan, seemingly wanting to continue hearing her opinion.

”There weren’t any other negative effects... I didn’t even enjoy it more. The repetition was quite abstract.”

With a soft sigh, Yuan Shan finally put down her utensils, appearing to have lost interest in the food.

”Our opponent this time is indeed formidable.”

Now it was Fu Qian’s turn to gain an appetite, eating another bite while remarking.

That goes without saying...

There was no doubt about its truth, and Yuan Shan was momentarily speechless.

Being aware is one thing; the biggest problem now is that the earlier impact seemed utterly irresistible.

The absence of other attack moves earlier doesn’t guarantee there won’t be any in the future.

This opponent is indeed not simple.

Her sigh wasn’t due to reluctance but for two other reasons.

Firstly, such a bizarre and high-end method undoubtedly aligns more with previous suspicions, increasing the likelihood that the Needle Witch is indeed behind this.

After all, internal problems are never a cause for joy.

Secondly, although the first strategist had been somewhat active before, he seemed to have been gradually stepping aside for her to take the stage.

It appears that this reverse reconnaissance mission leaves no room for laziness on her part.

...

Being cooperative is courteous, after all, in theory, I’m the party concerned in this incident.

From Chief Yuan’s expression, it’s easy to guess what she was thinking, though Fu Qian felt no shame in this.

No matter what power is backing this force, the essence of this trial is directed specifically at him.

Wen Li is just a tool caught up in it, while Chief Yuan is a strategic ally he sought.

Therefore, even though the Dazzling Visage completely conceals the Supernatural Tier, Fu Qian was still the first to reveal himself, pointing out the fish-counting issue.

That’s about it, though, as it’s an internal action within the Night Watchman for rooting out internal threats; a Chief in Shangjing can’t just stand idly by.

”Any other discoveries?”

Fortunately, Chief Yuan was also quite perceptive, quickly overcoming negative emotions and naturally taking the lead to control the pace, turning to Fu Qian for confirmation.

”No, and I can’t even determine if they’re still here, as there has been no trace in perception from start to finish.”

Praising inwardly, Fu Qian simultaneously shook his head decisively.

”However, considering the earlier situation, I tend to believe the opponent has a special form of temporal-spatial concealment, and it was just a way of greeting.”

”I must say, I think so too.”

Her gaze shifted from Fu Qian’s face, and Yuan Shan surveyed the empty room.

For smoother communication, the servants had been dismissed earlier by Wen Li, and she personally took on the role of service.

Yet now, this scene no longer felt peaceful; instead, it felt as though an invisible pair of eyes crossed through time to spy upon them.

Sigh...

With another soft sigh, Yuan Shan slightly turned aside, already holding a fist-sized ball in her hand.

...

Small and exquisite, its surface, not fully smooth, bore a shiny metallic luster, resembling a fine crafted item.

At the top, a flower-like form with deep, seeping red bloodstains added a final touch to it, making it seem anything but ordinary, turning it mysterious and captivating.

Upon closer inspection, the entire ball was actually composed of uniformly shaped, petal-like sharp metal pieces.

They interlocked into a chain and were wound together like a ball of yarn.

And with Yuan Shan’s manipulation, they were already being unfurled.

The soft whip, adorned with strands of crimson, was extending and coiling like a snake, the tip even lifting high.

So much so that its tail was held firmly by Yuan Shan, as if fearing it would fly off if she let go.

A high-end item indeed.

Fu Qian immediately judged it, knowing that this thing was quite extraordinary.

Especially the bloodstain in the shape of a flower; even now, it was unsettling to behold.

Moreover, upon closer inspection, one could see that the bloodstains were not splattered.

As the chain unfurled, it became evident that on more than one petal, the red was at the sharp tips, as if remnants of ripping through flesh violently.

More like the whip, after striking a target, was retracted, coincidentally forming such a shape.

”Don’t look.”

At this moment, Yuan Shan’s voice echoed again, with slight strain, reminding the weakest present, Wen Li.
