Quick Wear: Passerby A's Counterattack Revised Plot

The huge floating island rotates slowly, and on it grows exotic flowers and plants that can only be seen in legends; what flows in the river is not water, but liquid that sparkles with colorful lights, like a flowing galaxy.

Finally, in front of a palace made of transparent crystal, the sound stopped. The palace gate was open, as if welcoming their arrival. Shi Qi, Yun Che, and Zhong Liyuan looked at each other, took a deep breath, and stepped into the palace.

The interior of the palace was spacious and bright, with an ancient altar in the center, and a jade box emitting a faint glow lying quietly on the altar. That was exactly what they were looking for.

“Is that the jade box we’re looking for?” Yun Che asked excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

"It should be that thing for sure." Shi Qi nodded.

Zhong Liyuan slowly approached the altar, his eyes solemn and determined. He slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips gently touched the jade box that was emitting a soft glow. An ancient and deep power seemed to pass through his fingertips into his heart, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

"This... Is this what we are looking for?" he whispered to himself, with a mixture of amazement and awe in his tone.

Shi Qi and Yun Che followed closely behind, and the three of them stood around the altar, staring at the mysterious jade box together.

"Can I take it directly?" Zhongli Yuan asked curiously.

Yun Che frowned slightly, his eyes wandering between the jade box and the surrounding environment, as if looking for possible traps or mechanisms. "Be careful, everything here seems too perfect, which makes people feel uneasy."

Shi Qi stroked her chin gently, her eyes flashing with thought. "Indeed, we can't act rashly. Let me try to use my inner strength to sense and see if there is anything abnormal." As she spoke, she slowly stretched out her right hand, palm facing up, and spiritual power slowly overflowed from her palm, spreading towards the jade box like a thin thread.

As the spiritual power approached, the light on the surface of the jade box seemed to fluctuate slightly, but there was no attack or defense reaction. Shi Qi's eyes flashed with surprise. "Strange, it seems... to welcome us?"

Hearing this, Zhongli Yuan asked in surprise, "Welcome us, what's going on?"

Yun Che also revealed a puzzled expression when he heard this, “I don’t know. But since it doesn’t reject us, let’s take it and leave!”

Shi Qi nodded and agreed: "Alright, get ready, I will activate the teleportation array once you get the jade box."

The three of them reached a consensus, and the atmosphere became tense and solemn. Zhong Liyuan took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and slowly approached the jade box until his fingertips gently touched the warm surface. A warm and gentle power instantly surged into his body, making him feel an unprecedented peace and harmony.

"This feeling... is so magical." Zhong Liyuan whispered softly, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes. He carefully grasped the edge of the jade box and gently lifted it. The jade box easily broke away from the altar and floated in his palm, emitting a brighter light.

“Success!” Yun Che shouted excitedly, but then lowered his voice, fearing that he would disturb the peaceful atmosphere.

Shi Qi also smiled with relief when she saw this. She quickly adjusted her state and prepared to activate the teleportation array. She gently put her hands together, and the spiritual power in her body began to surge, gathering at her fingertips, forming a dazzling light.

"I'm ready. I'm going to activate the teleportation array!" There was a hint of firmness and expectation in Shi Qi's voice.

As she finished her words, the light suddenly burst out, illuminating the entire palace as bright as day. In the light, a complex rune pattern slowly appeared, which was the teleportation array leading to where they came from.

“Hurry up!” Shi Qi urged, directing the light in his hand to Yun Che and Zhong Liyuan.

Without hesitation, the two followed Shi Qi's steps and stepped into the light. Suddenly, they saw a blur in front of their eyes, and the surrounding scene began to distort, as if time and space were torn apart in an instant.

When they opened their eyes again, they had returned to the Zhongzhou Inn where Shi Qi lived. The jade box in their hands still emitted a faint light, proving that all this was not a dream.

“We succeeded!” Yun Che waved the jade box in his hand excitedly, his eyes gleaming with victory.

Shi Qi smiled slightly, "Now we just have to wait for Murong Xue to arrive."

After Shi Qi and the other two left the palace in the northern border of Dongling State, a voice appeared in the palace that Shi Qi and the other two had just left, "I believe we will meet soon."

After he finished speaking, the air returned to calm again. There was no sound or movement. Only a glimmer of light was still emanating from the place where Zhongli Yuan had just taken the jade box, proving that the jade box had existed in this place.

Zhong Liyuan thought about how Shi Qi had just opened the teleportation array and left after taking the jade box. He asked, "Uncle, what happened just now? Why did we leave so quickly after taking the jade box? What happened to those secret guards?"

Shi Qi shook her head to indicate that she herself didn't know, "Just now, I felt something was not right, but I didn't know what was wrong. Thinking that less trouble is worse than more trouble, I left quickly.

As for the secret guards, they are fine and you don't need to worry. They have not entered the northern border of Dongling Kingdom at all. What you saw as disappearance was not actually you. It was them who saw you disappear.

Those secret guards are useless in Zhongzhou. I have sent them back to Fengnan Country and informed your father that you and I are already in Zhongzhou."

"Okay, uncle, since they can't enter the place to get the jade box, why do you want them to come with me to get the jade box?" Zhongli Yuan asked curiously.

Shi Qi smiled gently and explained, "I asked them to go with you to protect your safety on the way to Dongling Country. You will not be in any danger when you get to the place where you get the jade box."

Zhong Liyuan asked in confusion: "Will there be any danger? No, uncle, didn't we encounter that ancient beast?"

Shi Qi explained one by one: “You did encounter that ancient beast, but that ancient beast couldn’t hurt you. It only appeared to scare me and Yun Che away. The reason why I asked you to attack it is because if you attack it, it means you are in the same group with us, and attacking its abdomen is because finding its weakness means we are qualified to enter the palace…”

Zhong Liyuan nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is, uncle, where is Murong Xue now?"

"Murong Xue~" Shi Qi suddenly slapped his forehead, "I forgot to tell her to come here by herself with the things I gave her. She doesn't need to bring Murong Yao and Yuhuan with her for now."
