Doupo: Life Simulator System

Chapter 632: Inquiring for Information

Huh?

Xiao Ming's eyes flickered and he felt a surge of excitement in his heart at the beep of the electronic voice in his head.

His growth path was closely linked to the Life Simulator. Though its assistance had diminished as his realm increased, its role could not be denied.

Now that it had been upgraded and reloaded, it was naturally a cause for joy. He believed that the 2.0 version of the Life Simulator would be even better.

However, Xiao Ming did not let his happiness distract him from the current situation.

He suppressed the tumultuous emotions in his heart and asked the Life Simulator to pause its notifications before turning to Miss Jing.

"Of course, I know about the problem you mentioned, but it never hurts to ask for clues. It's okay if you don't know."

"As long as you know. Please tell me the names of those people so I can see if I've heard anything about them." Miss Jing lightly twirled a strand of hair around her ear.

"My companions are three in total, named Xuan Emperor Xiao Xuan, Dragon Emperor Zhu Kun, and Pill Emperor."

As Xiao Ming listed the names, Qing Tan blinked curiously behind him.

"Each of your companions has 'Emperor' in their title; do you have one as well?" Miss Jing asked curiously when she heard these names.

"My Master is known as the Heavenly Emperor, quite imposing, isn't it?" Qing Tan, who had been muttering to herself, immediately looked up and said proudly.

Mu Feng and the others around them showed solemn respect. Just by hearing it, it was clear that this was no ordinary title.

'Indeed imposing!'

Miss Jing nodded in agreement as well. She thought of the ancient Nine Emperors, one of whom was also known as the Heavenly Emperor. This individual unified the Skylaw Continent, one of the ten Super Continents of the Great Thousand World, and founded the Ancient Haven Palace. His cultivation level even reached the peak late-phase Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign.

Unfortunately, the Fiend Clans launched a massive invasion into the Great Thousand World not long after the establishment of the Ancient Haven Palace. The Heavenly Emperor, accompanied by just a few followers from the Ancient Haven Palace, died in the battle against the Fiend Clans. It was uncertain whether the current Heavenly Emperor could achieve as much as that ancient figure.

However, reaching the Saint Grade Heavenly Sovereign stage was no easy feat. Even though her own clan stood at the pinnacle of the Great Thousand World, they only had one strong individual in the middle phase of the Saint Grade.

Xiao Ming was unaware of the myriad thoughts running through the young lady's mind. He simply said, "It's just a nominal title. Miss Jing, have you heard of my companions?"

"No, I haven't," Miss Jing answered succinctly.

"Perhaps you could provide more information about them, such as their race? From their titles, they don't all seem to be human."

Xiao Ming nodded, "Among them, Xuan Emperor is my ancestor. The original body of the Dragon Emperor is the Ancient Void Dragon, and as for the Pill Emperor..."

After a moment's pause, he continued, "The Pill Emperor is a medicinal pill of the highest tier in our plane that has transformed into a human form."

Miss Jing pondered for a long time before shaking her head.

"I haven't heard of them. It seems they haven't landed near this region in the Great Thousand World. Otherwise, the presence of the Pill Emperor alone would have attracted numerous powerhouses to compete. The Hundred Spirit Continent is currently quite peaceful, with no news of such events."

Watching Xiao Ming before her, who effortlessly dealt with the Immeasurable Old Ancestor even without Spiritual Energy, Miss Jing could deduce that those who had arrived in the Great Thousand World ahead of him were no ordinary individuals. They should at least be Earth Sovereigns.

Moreover, there was a high-level medicinal pill among them that was still in a weakened state. Such a good thing was enough to make the powerhouses of the Great Thousand World lose their minds.

The unavoidable Spiritual Energy Tribulation and the dispersing fragrance of the medicine made it impossible to hide.

She would definitely have known if it had happened nearby.

"So you haven't heard of them…"

Xiao Ming wasn't particularly surprised. He had located the Great Thousand World based on Qing Tan's guidance, so it was normal that he and the Xiao Xuan trio hadn't ended up in the same place

Xiao Yan landed on the West Heaven Continent of the Great Thousand World in the original timeline. Perhaps it would be worth checking there? Of course, he could use the simulator to simulate a bit first. It might help to answer this matter directly.

With that in mind, Xiao Ming expressed his thanks and then proceeded to walk out of the camp with Qing Tan.

As she watched their figures disappear into the jungle, Miss Jing's gaze flickered for a moment before she also stepped into the foliage.

Mu Feng watched from the sidelines as Miss Jing hurried to catch up. He felt a sourness in his heart but decided to remain silent. He was no fool; various signs indicated that Miss Jing was no ordinary woman.

He keenly felt the gap between himself and Miss Jing.

...

"Master, that young lady has followed us..."

Walking behind Xiao Ming, Qing Tan tugged at the sleeve of the former.

"I know," Xiao Ming turned around and paused for a moment.

After a short wait, Miss Jing's graceful figure emerged from the forest.

Observing Xiao Ming and Qing Tan in front of her, Miss Jing showed no surprise; it was natural for them to notice her given their realms.

Under the gaze of the two, she modestly lowered her head, resembling a shy young bride, and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Thank you for saving my life earlier. Also... I was wondering if I could follow you for a while?"

"Give me a reason," Xiao Ming glanced at her.

"I believe you may have sensed it already. My current state is merely due to my strength being temporarily weakened. Once I recover, I can assist you in searching for your companions. To some extent, I still have some connections in the Great Thousand World," Miss Jing explained.

She was undoubtedly at her weakest right now. Perhaps she wouldn't have cared before, but after the encounter with the Immeasurable Old Ancestor, she felt the need to find someone to protect her.

Without protection, she wouldn't really feel safe even if she didn't stay in the wilderness and returned to the human cities.

The Hundred Spirit Continent was too far away, and its influence did not extend to this remote corner. Even if she left the Northern Spiritual Plains, it was unlikely that she could find protection immediately.

Moreover, now that she had lost all her cultivation, she dared not trust her clan. The previous secret realm, despite its strangeness and dangers, normally wouldn't have inflicted such severe damage on a Perfected Earth Sovereign powerhouse like her.

She had been sabotaged, with her spiritual formation materials tampered with. It was a clear attempt on her life, likely orchestrated by a high-ranking member of her own clan in collusion with other clans.

Now she was worried that if she sent the message to contact her clan, the first thing she would expect would not be rescue, but unknown assassination attempts. Therefore, she decided not to contact her clan until she could defend herself again. The person in front of her seemed to be the most suitable option under these circumstances.

He could see that her strength had diminished, yet he harbored no ill intentions. Clearly, he was someone who could be trusted.

Miss Jing didn't get an answer right away, and the atmosphere remained quiet for a while before she finally got to hear:

"What is your name?"

Miss Jing felt a sense of joy in her heart, understanding that he had already agreed.

"My name is Qing Jing."

'Qing Jing? I think Qing Yanjing suits you better!'

Xiao Ming thought to himself, somewhat speechless. First, there was an Immeasurable Old Ancestor, then a Mu Feng, and now a Miss Jing. He had already figured things out. It was just that his thoughts had been disturbed earlier by the restart of the simulator.

However, if Qing Yanjing didn't want to reveal her real name, he couldn't be bothered to press further and simply nodded casually.

"My name is Xiao Ming, and this is my second disciple, Ling Qing Tan. You may follow us from now on."
