The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 1039: Four Palaces

Communication Stone?

Nian Shutong took out her own red Communication Stone and shook her head, saying, "No news."

No news? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

That’s unlikely, right?

Lin Mu and Lian Qing exchanged looks, Fu Yunhe shouldn’t be that useless.

"Uh, I have something to say."

The small monkey, Li Hou, raised his voice and said, "The Communication Stone doesn’t work well here. I tried to contact home, and then Master Tian Qiu told me that messages can’t be received here."

Can’t receive messages?

Nian Shutong looked at the Communication Stone in her hand and then at Lian Qing, asking, "How long have I been up there?"

"Three months."

"Only three months!"

Nian Shutong didn’t feel it was short; instead, she felt after such a long time of studying, only three months had passed?

Almost thought it had been three years.

"Alright, let Fu Yunhe wait for a bit; I want to eat first."

Nian Shutong’s calm demeanor made Lian Qing and Lin Mu immediately sense this was a bit of a tantrum. But why?

Master Fan didn’t care why and shouted directly, "Boss, I’m going to cook."

Master Fan went to cook, and several others followed. In these three months, Master Fan’s culinary skills had improved by leaps and bounds, completely capturing a crowd’s stomachs.

Nian Shutong sat down unhurriedly on a chair, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly.

Lin Mu pulled over a chair and sat next to Nian Shutong.

"Why do you seem like you’ve been tortured?"

"What did you encounter up there?"

It’s rare to see a dispirited Nian Shutong.

"Ah, you wouldn’t understand."

Nian Shutong shook her head with an air of mystery, but she didn’t continue. She didn’t want to tell these people how she’d been tormented by the exams for so long.

After finishing a cup of tea, Nian Shutong stood up, preparing to see what resources were inside the palace buildings on both sides of the staircase, and how they had the audacity to claim they would gift it to all Starworld.

Nian Shutong walked ahead, with Lin Mu and Lian Qing following behind, heading towards the first palace building, just as Tian Qiu returned.

"Teacher Tian Qiu, I want to open this palace. Do you want to join me?"

Tian Qiu, already somewhat calmer, looked at the gate he had tried countless times to open but couldn’t, and shook his head.

"Not going to look. Here, I’ve finished changing this."

Tian Qiu casually tossed over a token, which Nian Shutong caught instinctively and glanced at.

"Tianxing Academy, Principal’s Order."

The three small characters below made Nian Shutong look at Tian Qiu and ask, "What does this mean?"

"It means I’m quitting. From now on, I’m no longer the principal of Tianxing Academy. You’re the principal and a student; I’m leaving."

The old Tian Qiu said he was leaving and really didn’t leave Nian Shutong any time at all.

"Hey, hey---"

With one hand still in mid-air, Tian Qiu was already gone, wanting nothing, just leaving.

"Just left like that? I’m the principal now. Isn’t that too casual?"

"Well, you always preferred to follow your heart."

Lin Mu finished speaking, and Lian Qing nodded in agreement.

Nian Shutong first put away the token, empathizing with Tian Qiu. If it were her, she might have given up long ago.

"Alright, let’s open the door and take a look first."

Nian Shutong didn’t know how to open it either; there was no lock on it. She just casually placed her palm on the door of the palace building and pressed hard.

It opened.

The massive door, full of a sense of heft, slowly opened.

Inside, it was not the darkness she imagined; instead, it was well-lit, filled with boxes. Nian Shutong noticed the paper in her Sea of Consciousness stirring and took it out.

As soon as she took it out, words began to appear on the paper.

"Nine hundred ninety-nine boxes of Xuanling Liquid."

Nian Shutong looked at the boxes stacked inside the room, all filled with Xuanling Liquid?

She curiously opened a box, finding it filled with containers resembling test tubes containing golden liquid, seemingly purer than the ones she obtained from the key secret realm.

Nian Shutong first took out a few tubes, gave them to Lian Qing and Lin Mu behind her, and said, "Take them, for cultivation."

"Alright."

"Thank you, Master."

The two complied without question, taking what they were given.

After distributing them, Nian Shutong didn’t feel anything was wrong. The ones behind must be interstellar people.

With a "clang---," the box was closed.

Nian Shutong exited this room, and in the next second, the massive palace in front of her shrank with a bang, down to the size of a one yuan coin.

"Pretty convenient."

She picked up the palace’s small model on the ground, intending to store it in her Space Ring, but it was repelled and couldn’t go in.

After trying several times, it still didn’t work, so Nian Shutong had to hold it in her hand for now.

She continued toward the second door, still pushing it open, with the white paper appearing.

"Still Xuanling Liquid, truly wealthy."

When Nian Shutong came out, the palace shrank again, and she said to Lin Mu behind her, "Help me pick it up."

She walked towards the other side.

"Nian Shutong!"

"Huh?"

Nian Shutong turned her head, seeing Lin Mu bending over hard, his face reddening, realizing one thing: It seemed she was the only one who could lift it.

"You can’t lift it?"

"What do you think?"

"This is really interesting."

Nian Shutong stepped forward, picked up the small palace model from the ground, and still held it in her hand. Only she could move it; unsuitable for the Space Ring. How about the rope?

Nian Shutong pulled out an embroidery thread, attempting to thread them together, but the thread immediately broke.

Apart from her body, nothing else worked.

Am I going to embed them in my body? I can’t keep holding them, because they don’t even fit in a pocket; she’s tried.

Holding the two small objects in her hand, Nian Shutong walked toward the other palace on the other side.

The third room still contained Xuanling Liquid, adding another small house.

"I suspect that this is a robbery of the entire Xuanling Continent."

The fourth room, Nian Shutong pushed open, and finally, different words appeared on the white paper, not just one line.

"Hello, fortunate one. The items in this room are all for you: a total of five hundred boxes of Xuanling Liquid, three hundred boxes of Spiritual Medicine, two hundred ninety-nine boxes of Spiritual Treasure, and an Endless Rope, impervious to water and fire, tough and unbreakable, with no gaps. It can thread the four palaces together, please wear it close to your body."

After reading, Nian Shutong looked at the items in this room, figuring the person was quite generous.

Finding the Endless Rope, Nian Shutong stepped out, and the fourth palace formed.

This time, she used the rope to thread the four small models through their windows, forming a bracelet.

Close to the body, then it should be worn on the wrist.

"Alright, let’s go eat; we’ll set off after dinner."

The three of them walked towards the bamboo forest in the back, where Master Fan’s meal was almost ready.

After the meal, Li Hou and the other two spoke first.

"We are leaving too. Teacher Tian Qiu gave us recommendation letters, allowing us to transfer to other places."

"If you want to stay, you can also stay; it’s up to your choice."

Nian Shutong offered them a choice, letting them decide for themselves.
