Falling in Love to Escape the Original Book Plot [BL]-Chapter 44: Desperate Move

"No..., there is no time for this." Zhen Yuan suddenly said, and with a soft curse, he galloped away.

A quarter of an hour later, he stopped behind a bush.

’This place will have to do.’ He thought and used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings.

When he was confident he was the only one around, he put away the demon horse and directly entered the space.

Soon after, he appeared beside the egg pool.

"Damned egg." He cursed and threw ten million spirit stones into the small pool.

Unfortunately, the spirit stones disappeared as soon as they entered the pool.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan frowned.

’Not good.’ He thought and added another ten million.

This time, the spirit stones lasted an incense stick.

However, the egg was still hungry.

After eating the spirit stones, it began sucking the space qi, and the surrounding aura rapidly thinned.

When he saw this, Zhen Yuan couldn’t help but worry.

Although he had earned some spirit stones from missions and manager Zhang, he had used most of them to feed the space and egg.

At the moment, he only had thirteen million.

If this thirteen million were not enough to satisfy the egg, the space would soon be sucked dry.

After that, the egg would begin to draw from Shen Xu’s cultivation spirit stones.

In the worst-case scenario, it may even drain its master’s cultivation.

"I have to think of a way." Zhen Yuan said and dumped all thirteen million spirit stones into the egg pool.

Fortunately, the egg didn’t directly devour them.

However, its speed of consuming them was not slow.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan left the space, got on his demon horse, and rushed to Dragon City.

When he arrived in Dragon City, he contacted Manager Zhang and arranged a meeting.

However, he didn’t stop there.

Without a second thought, he rushed to the talisman association.

After he arrived, Zhen Yuan went straight to the mission board.

’There is no other way.’ He thought and began to study the tasks.

At a glance, there were seventy-eight tasks on the mission board.

However, all the tasks were basically the same.

If they were not about completing a talisman map, they were about handing over some unique talismans.

After studying all the tasks, Zhen Yuan nodded and walked to the mission desk.

"I want to take a task." He said.

"Which task?" The receptionist asked.

"All of them." Zhen Yuan said.

When she heard this, the receptionist raised her head and glared at Zhen Yuan.

"Young man, this is not a place for such jokes." She admonished.

Unfortunately, Zhen Yuan was not in the mood for nonsense.

Although the egg pool still had some spirit stones, the amount was less than seven million.

If Zhen Yuan didn’t get more, he was worried the worst would happen.

"I am not joking. Please make the arrangements." Zhen Yuan urged with a solemn expression. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Seeing the look, the receptionist was at a loss.

On one hand, she had no right to stop someone from taking a task, but on the other, she felt the person was messing around.

After all, the masked person sounded like a young man.

Even if he was a genius talisman master, it was impossible to complete all seventy-eight tasks.

However, the receptionist had to follow the rules.

With a grudge-filled gaze, she glared at Zhen Yuan.

"If you fail to complete three tasks, the association will withhold your identity token. If you want it back, you must take a qualification test after three years." She reminded.

"I know." Zhen Yuan nodded.

"Regardless of the number, all tasks must be completed within one month of taking them."

"I know the rules."

"In that case, please hand over your identity token. You will get it back after completing the tasks."

Without hesitation, Zhen Yuan handed over the identity token.

However, the receptionist frowned when she saw the token.

"This is a level two token." She said.

"I am aware."

"Half the tasks are level three, and a few are level four."

"Please help me register the tasks." Zhen Yuan urged, and the receptionist rolled her eyes in frustration.

’What’s with this person? Is he in a hurry to lose his identity token?’ She wondered.

However, she still did as asked.

A quarter of an hour later, she finished registering all the tasks and gave Zhen Yuan a jade coin.

"This coin has a copy of all the tasks. Bring it with you when you hand over the completed tasks." She said.

"Good." Zhen Yuan said and hurried out of the talisman association.

However, because he left in a hurry, he didn’t know the talisman association was in an uproar.

"What is going on?" The association president questioned the female receptionist.

"Great elder, this is not my fault." The receptionist said with an aggrieved expression.

"Explain from the beginning." The vice president commanded.

"A masked young man accepted all the tasks." She said and quickly continued.

"I tried to stop him, but he didn’t listen to me. After accepting the tasks, he left the association without leaving a name."

"Masked man?" The president frowned, and a thought crossed his mind.

"Could he be the masked man we have been looking for?" The vice president asked, and the president solemnly nodded.

"He could be." He said.

Hearing this, the receptionist was shocked.

"Didn’t they say Yuan Shen is an old man?" She asked, her voice filled with disbelief.

"Although I didn’t see the person’s face, the masked man sounded like a young man."

"President, should we send people to look for the person?" The vice president asked.

"There is no need." The president shook his head and quickly continued.

"If he is Yuan Shen, he may be able to complete the tasks. When he does, he will return to the talisman association."

When he heard this, the vice president narrowed his eyes and looked at the female receptionist.

"Go back first." He said and the receptionist immediately stood up.

After she left, the vice president opened an isolation formation and looked at the association president.

"President, should we prepare?" He asked and then continued without waiting for the president to speak.

"We can ask some honorary elders to stand guard in the association. When Yuan Shen comes, he will have no way to leave."
