Ji Lingxi lifted her head abruptly. A myriad of emotions flashed across her eyes; embarrassment, shock, and panic. There was also loss and helplessness thrown into the mix.

She stretched out her hand gently, murmuring, "Didn\'t die… How…?"

Her hand came into contact with Yun Yang\'s face, which felt warm to the touch. She then touched her own face, which was warm and rather hot as well… She pinched her leg harshly, pain shooting up her nerves.

It was clear that they had not died.

"Argh! Arghhh!"

Ji Lingxi cried out loudly, pulling herself away from Yun Yang\'s embrace. She looked up at the sun and looked back down at her shadow, both her hands running across her body and clothes.

"Argh!"

Ji Lingxi covered her face instantly; turning sharply, she disappeared with a swoosh.

Even Yun Yang had to praise her remarkable qinggong which was truly impressive.

Bang!

The door on the eastern side was loudly slammed shut; the power used to close the door seemed to shake the very earth. Inside the door, Ji Lingxi\'s extremely embarrassed stomping could be heard, as well as her mortified voice.

"Arghhh! I - I - I… This, this - this… So embarrassing! We didn\'t die! How could we not have died?"

…

In another place, someone else was also hysterically pulling their hair.

"I\'m so angry, so angry, so angry! Argh!"

A massive punch was launched into the air.

Far away, on the other side of the sky, a star that was shining exploded, turning into a cloud of dust which filled its own space in the universe.

A comforting voice chimed in from the side, "What are you doing? You should be happy now. Our daughter has taste. She\'s easygoing and more than simply brilliant…"

The individual still looked like a thundercloud, like they were about to kill someone. There was a menacing expression on the individual\'s face, coupled with a lot of stomping and hopping in the air.

"Ah! That vegetable that I\'ve spent so many years to bring up! I\'m going to kill that pig! I am absolutely going to kill that pig! Arghhh…"

"Stow it!" A woman\'s voice growled, "Who are you going to kill? Say it! Who did you say you were going to kill!"

The irate individual immediately regained his rationality. His arms went behind his back, and he assumed a tall and proud posture, displaying an unrivaled expert\'s vibe. They then spoke in a low voice, "ol\'Eighth, ol\'Ninth, let\'s go play with the eldest. It\'s good to win once in a while."

Whey they spoke, they looked graceful and elegant, beaming and full of high spirits.

The two people beside them reigned in their chuckles and said, "Go, the few sisters-in-law are waiting for you…"

"Argh!"

The earlier individual went berserk again, lapsing into his previous madness as the grace he momentarily displayed vanished completely.

"Whoever goes is an idiot!"

…

In the yard, Yun Yang felt a missing space in his embrace. The beautiful love who had been in close contact with him was long gone. Twisting his foot and making a twirl, he mumbled, "We didn\'t die indeed."

It looked like his situation was not all better than that of the beautiful lady. The sense of disbelief was only proven now. He then thought of Ji Lingxi\'s earlier reaction and could not help chuckling, "That girl…"

He tilted his head. It was undeniable that something new seemed to have bloomed in his heart. It was a sense of warmth, support, and tenderness. Was it the sentiment that he had been pursuing this whole life, but was yet to receive?

"Heheheheheh…"

Yun Yang chuckled sheepishly and lowered his head to see the small flag on the ground, murmuring, "What is this? It looked majestic earlier, but why does it look so pathetic now?"

If his memory served him right, this item was the enormous flag that the mysteriously strong man dressed in black had carried. It seemed to be a gem of a find.

The man in black had shot up into the sky - shot up and exploded in the sky… by all reckonings, he should be dead now. It was most likely because he was dead that this tiny flag had shrunk and dropped down to the ground.

Yun Yang bent to pick the flag up, flipping it around to study it properly.

"This small flag… it really does evoke an eerie feeling if one were to look at it… Also, this flag seems to have some strange… a familiar feeling?"

Yun Yang toyed with the small black flag and felt a faint sense of recognition. The sentiment was clear enough that he could not help frowning, deep in thoughts.

\'This… Where have I seen this thing before? That\'s not it, I obviously have never seen it! I would never forget such an evil thing!\'

\'Why then this sense of familiarity?\'

\'It looks like there\'s more than one peculiar incident today.\'

As he pondered and let his thoughts run free, he suddenly felt a strange energy from the flag flowing into his body through his hand that was holding the flag\'s pole. Then… it disappeared. Feeling the flash of energy, Yun Yang\'s frown knitted tighter; a flash of thoughts and he recalled that it was when he was in Empire of Ziyou. He had used the Empire of Ziyou\'s imperial jade seal and had asked Emmie to absorb the People\'s Volition and the empire\'s providence from it…

This energy before him was very similar to the country\'s providence - no, it was basically the same thing. Yet, how could a flag, a gem that was evil and strange, contain the astral providence?

In addition, the force of providence did not belong to the field of mystical Qi cultivation. Yun Yang had no idea how to ingest and utilize it; only Emmie possessed that sort of knowledge. Why had he automatically absorbed the force now? Could Emmie have awakened?

Yun Yang perked up and called out a few times, only to be disappointed. He was still unable to reconnect to Emmie.

In spite of this, he was shocked to realize that the energy akin to the providence that was leaving the flag was increasing and entering him, drop by drop. Yun Yang easily stuffed the small flag into his embrace. Since Emmie needed such a thing, let it absorb however much it wanted; it was a bonus anyway, it would be a waste not to use it.

It still begged the question - just what was this little thing?

As time passed, Yun Yang found that the flag was only dripping strands of force that he ingested bit by bit but the longer it went on, the flow of the force grew and gradually turned into thin streams before it became like a river that was surging towards the ocean.

When afternoon came, Yun Yang intended to retrieve the flag to play around and study it further. Who would have known that the tiny flag would turn into ashes that drifted into the air and oblivion the moment he took it out?

Aghast, Yun Yang watched the almost invisible black debris on the ground, his jaw almost on the ground as he mumbled, "Gone? It just disappeared! How can this be?"

Yun Yang truly felt his heart ache. It was obviously a remarkable gem! Truthfully, anything that could store and even manipulate the astral providence would be a rare gem to keep! However, how could it be gone by just being in his embrace without even lasting a single afternoon?

"Such a pity! What a pity!" Yun Yang sighed, regret evident in his tone.

If his assumptions were correct, it was this flag that allowed the other party to accurately locate him. Set aside the fact that it was a providence gem, the small flag\'s ability to isolate him so accurately from several billion people in the continent itself was already a mind-blowing power!

As long as this flag remained in his possession, it was impossible for others to find him. Furthermore, the item came with a massive amount of destiny force. It was truly a divine gem.

Finally, when Yun Yang was ecstatic by the realization, he discovered that his gem had turned into powder. What a waste of God\'s gift!

His disappointment could barely be put into words.
