s relentlessly pounding someone. And that person, though also a cartoon character, had a clearly visible real face—none other than Yao Wei’s!The crowd stared in disbelief; this hacker is truly powerfu...Chapter 1062: The Unending Duel

The woman in white was Yue Qingya, and the newly appeared black-robed woman could only be Song Yumei, who had been searching for Yue Qingya everywhere. Of course, Yue Qingya knew that her real name wasn’t Song Yumei but Ye Yumei.

In response to Ye Yumei’s anger, Yue Qingya remained calm; her beautiful face was as still and unperturbed as a well, clearly showing she wasn’t upset.

"Little Mei, what you said earlier is just the surface of things. Others might think I’m high and mighty, but you should know that in my heart, there has never been any distinction between noble and lowly. I am not a noble Immortal, nor is Xia Tian a lowly mortal. As for the Mysterious Void Immortal Realm, twenty years have passed. Do you really believe we can return" Yue Qingya sighed softly. "Actually, Little Mei, these matters are something we can put aside temporarily. You know what I want to say when I see you."

"Of course I know, aren’t you just wondering where that little soul egg Xia Tian is" Ye Yumei snorted coldly. "But you will be disappointed; I won’t tell you where he is!"

"Little Mei, I don’t want to know where he is." Yue Qingya gently shook her head; in her beautiful eyes, soft light flickered, and her tone was also gentle. "I just wanted to say that it makes me very happy to know that you’re still alive."

The anger on Ye Yumei’s pretty face seemed to ease unconsciously when she heard this sentence; even the coldness in her eyes faded considerably. For a moment, she fell silent and said nothing for a long time.

"Little Mei, ever since you were ten years old, you’ve always seen me as an enemy. But I understand that you don’t truly see me as your enemy. And I know that when you found out I was still alive, you must have been very happy too." Yue Qingya’s soft voice rang out again; she sighed lightly but her tone now carried a hint of weariness and the passage of time. "Twenty years have passed. In these twenty years, I’ve thought about many things. I believe you have as well. Those misunderstandings from back then, you must have long since sorted them out. With your intelligence and understanding of me, how could you still think that I betrayed our friendship back then What I said back then was just to prevent you from becoming my enemy. But I didn’t expect you would take it seriously. Now, however, there’s truly no need for us to continue this rivalry. Once upon a time, we relied on each other for survival; now, in this world, there are only the two of us left. We should continue as we did back then. What do you think"

Night Yuimei didn't speak, but her cold eyes began to show some unease. If the Song family or Xia Tian saw her now, they would surely be astonished because they wouldn’t have expected that this woman colder than ice would display such an expression.

At this moment, Night Yuimei’s stunning face kept changing expressions. Clearly, Moon Qingya's words had touched her heart and made her recall some past events—memories that were deeply etched in her mind and brought her joy or pain.

"Xiao Mei, this Green Peak Mountain is a place I found after years of searching. This is my home, and it’s also your home. If you wish to, you can live here from now on." Moon Qingya's gentle voice reached Night Yuimei once again as she looked at her with an exceptionally sincere gaze.

"Is that so" Night Yuimei seemed to have regained her senses; the expression on her face returned to its usual coldness, and her eyes once more turned icy. "You’ve said similar words before, not just once."

"Xiao Mei, these are my true feelings." Moon Qingya sighed softly. "I've never lied to you; you should know that."

"I believe you," Night Yuimei said she believed him, but her tone became even colder. "Unfortunately, time doesn't flow backwards, so we can’t go back to the past. Our duel hasn’t ended yet; I came here today to conclude this duel."

"Xiao Mei, that duel has already concluded. Neither of us won—this is twenty years later. Why do you still hold on to it" Moon Qingya had a rather無奈的苦笑浮現嘴角。“勝負對你來說真的那麼重要嗎？”

“這一場決鬥改變了我們的後半生，你說能不重要嗎？”夜欲媚語氣裡似乎多了幾分怨恨，“如果不是那場決鬥我又怎麼會來到這個鬼地方？”

I will translate the last two sentences separately due to your instruction:

"The duel changed our second half of life. How could it not be important" Night Yuimei's tone seemed to carry a hint of resentment. "If not for that duel, how would I end up in this damned place"

"Xiaomei, my current strength is only one-tenth of what it was at its peak. You're in a similar situation. What's the point of us dueling like this" Yue Qingya shook her head again; she truly didn't want to fight with Ye Yumei because she always believed that their grudge was entirely unjustified. They weren’t sworn enemies, but rather had once relied on each other for survival. In this world, they should have clung together through thick and thin instead of becoming mortal enemies.

"Stop talking about this nonsense! Regardless of anything else, our duel must continue!" However, Ye Yumei didn't want to waste too much time talking with Yue Qingya. "You deliberately appeared in public and spread the news so that I would know your whereabouts specifically to draw me here, right Don’t you just want to know where Xia Tian's little soul egg is If you really want to find out about him, then fight me! If you win, I’ll naturally tell you where he is!"

"Alright, if you insist on fighting me, Xiaomei, then so be it. However, if you lose, instead of wanting to know about Xia Tian’s whereabouts, there's something else that I need from you." Yue Qingya thought for a moment and then spoke.

“What is it” Ye Yumei asked.

"If you lose, within the year, you must stay on Green Peak Mountain. After a year has passed, it’s up to you whether or not you want to leave." Yue Qingya looked directly into Ye Yumei's eyes and said, "If you agree to this condition, then I'll fight with you in earnest."

"It’s not difficult for me to promise that. But I also need you to give me a guarantee." Ye Yumei said coldly.

Yue Qingya smiled gently: "Xiaomei, what is it"

"Very simple. If you lose, then you must sever all ties with Xia Tian’s little soul egg forever!" Ye Yumei spoke each word slowly and clearly.

Moon Qingya remained silent for a moment before nodding: "Alright, I agree!"

"Then let's begin!" Night Yumei gave a light humph and a black silk ribbon shot towards Moon Qingya!

In Hong Kong, in the Xiangxue Lake villa district.

Ning Jie opened her eyes, stood up, and with a light leap ascended to the second floor.

"Vivian, Isabella, you two should go eat something first," Ning Jie said to Avril and Isabella. It was already noon, but Xia Tian still hadn’t come out. However, Ning Jie wasn't in a hurry because Xia Tian had previously mentioned that the entire process would take roughly three days and three nights; only one night and half a day had passed so far.

Avril and Isabella didn't say anything further and headed downstairs to the kitchen. Each of them ate a slice of bread and drank two cartons of milk before quickly returning to the second floor. As for Ning Jie, she went back down to the kitchen where she made herself a bowl of instant noodles. Although she rarely ate this kind of food now, she used to often eat instant noodles as her main meal, so there was nothing wrong with eating them.

After finishing her noodles, Ning Jie sat cross-legged on the floor once more; the moment she did, her brows furrowed slightly because she suddenly sensed countless footsteps approaching from nearby.

"Vivian, Isabella, you two stay by your husband’s side. I’ll go out to see what’s going on—someone seems to be coming," Ning Jie said as she got up and prepared to leave. However, just then, a horn sounded outside.

"Those inside, listen up! You are surrounded. Put down your weapons and surrender immediately..." The announcement came from a man with a loud voice that was amplified by the megaphone.

"Damn it!" Ning Jie muttered under her breath as she stepped out calmly.

As soon as she appeared, Ning Jie noticed that the villa was surrounded by fully armed武警 (People's Armed Police). Roughly estimating, there were at least a hundred of them.

"Don't move!"

"Put your hands behind your head!"

"Get down! Get down!"

When the武警 saw Ning Jie come out, dozens of guns pointed at her, and several shouts rang out.

"Shut up all of you!" Ning Jie shouted sharply, her voice carrying an authority that silenced the武警 momentarily. Then she coldly looked at the person holding the megaphone and asked discontentedly, "Who are you people"

"I am Major Meng Shihua of the Wangan City Armed Police支隊, here on orders to apprehend international fugitives hiding in this area. You are hereby ordered to surrender immediately or face lethal force!" The armed police officer holding a megaphone glared at Ning Jie and barked out loudly.

"I don't care who you are or whom you're trying to arrest, but I want you and your people to get lost right now. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Ning Jie was truly angry because she feared that these noisy people might disturb Xia Tian.

"This is outrageous! We have orders to capture criminals, and if you dare obstruct us, regardless of whether you are a fugitive or not, we will arrest all of you together!" Meng Shihua waved his hand, "Arrest her!

Meng Shihua hadn't even finished speaking when Ning Jie acted. She reached out and grabbed Meng Shihua's neck, while with her other hand she pulled out the pistol he had on his waist and pressed it against his head, then said coldly: "Tell your people to leave immediately or I'll blow your brains out!"

"Let go of the captain!"

"Release him at once!"

The crowd was instantly shocked into silence and shouted angrily in unison, but Meng Shihua, as the person involved, turned pale. He never expected that the criminals here would be so powerful and so brazen!

"You kill me; you won't get away either!" But Meng Shihua quickly regained his composure: "I advise you to turn yourself in."thin the Earth Team, she didn't arrange for any team members from the group to provide backup.
