Mu Qi, in the middle of a laboratory experiment, unexpected...
Chapter 160: Junior Sister, Don’t Run Away
Realizing that the fruit had been stolen, it flapped its wings and flew away angrily.
Mu Qi flew forward diagonally along the wind to meet Gou Zi, and Gou Zi ran back to her space with the fruit in his mouth.
Before he came, he thought he could escape because of his fast agility. But when he knew that the guardian beast was a flying bird, it was too late to make other preparations. Now Mu Qi could only run forward at full speed while riding the wind amid the roar of the big bird behind him.
The Xuanming Stone mine is located on the edge of the Dahuai Mountains, and Mu Qi wants to hide in the mountains.
She ran in without knowing the direction, and as she ran she didn't know she was in the range of some monster. She was caught off guard and was knocked away by something. When Mu Qi was about to be hit against the cliff wall, she saw a gurgling river nearby. She kicked the cliff wall with her skillful strength and rushed into the river.
Mu Qi heard the voice of a man chasing her, and also realized that the monster chasing her was fighting with the monster that came later, but she was too weak to stick her head out to take a look.
There was a whirlpool at the bottom of the river, and the huge suction force made it impossible for her to resist.
She didn't know how long it had been, but just as she was about to suffocate in the dark current with no light at all, she suddenly saw a bright light above her head.
She swam towards the edge with all her might. Fortunately, God was kind to her. She climbed out of the water and gasped for breath two meters away on the shore.
She is so exhausted!
Less than two minutes later, a handsome man emerged from the water where she had just emerged.
The handsome man, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, had rosy lips and eyes as bright as blossoming peach blossoms. He seemed relieved to see her and smiled, "Junior sister, why did you run away? You really scared me! Fortunately, you didn't encounter any danger!"
Mu Qi: “…”
She turned her head and looked into the water. She had a pretty face with a mole on the tip of her nose for easier remembering.
Could it be that her changed face happened to resemble this man's junior sister? But he clearly didn't see her face when he chased after her.
Could it be that this person is trying to establish some connections and take the opportunity to trick her into giving him the fruit?
Mu Qi immediately looked at the person who climbed out of the river with caution. Just as the person walked towards her with a smile on his face, Mu Qi suddenly turned her butt and ran away.
"Hey?" The man stood there in a daze, rubbing his face and muttering, "Could it be that I'm too ugly and scared my junior sister?"
He stared at the water and found himself very handsome.
He silently took out the jade token given by his master, injected spiritual power into it, and ran towards the direction of the flashing red dot above.
Mu Qi ran halfway when he realized something and looked at the uniform of the Tianxuan Sect's direct disciple on his body. He felt something was wrong. Finally he remembered something and took out the jade token to activate it.
Well, it really is her senior brother, the blue dot symbolizing the third senior brother.
She changed her face back to her own, changed her clothes and waited there, but no one showed up for a long time.
Did he run away in anger?
She pursed her lips and flew back in the direction she had just come from.
Observing the surrounding environment along the way, it looks like a mountain range. Could it be that it is still in Dahuaishan but just in a different location?
When I was halfway back, I saw the third brother running forward with a calm expression, but his steps were not as calm as his expression.
He was surprised for a moment when he saw Mu Qi's face, but then his expression changed, "Little Taoist friend, run!"
Seeing that Mu Qi didn't move with a surprised look on her face, he walked over, grabbed her wrist and ran away.
Mu Qi took the time to turn his head and saw, oh my god!
Why are there so many snakes!
A dense mass of terror.
"What did you do to deserve so many snakes chasing you?" Mu Qi asked in a horrified voice.
"I just killed a snake on the way, and who knew that a whole nest of snakes would suddenly swarm out. It's terrible, so terrible!" Chang Wu said it in a terrible tone but very calmly, as if this was just a small scene.
Mu Qi was speechless. He took out a bottle of medicine powder from the space and sprinkled it behind him while running.
Chang Wu looked back and saw that the snakes had suddenly turned over and lay still. He exclaimed in surprise, "Little Taoist friend, you are amazing!"
Mu Qi glanced at him and said, "It's just so-so."
Mu Qi sprinkled the powder while they ran. After running for half an hour, they finally got rid of the snakes.
Chang Wu collapsed on the grass, panting, "Oh my god, luckily my junior sister ran away, otherwise she would think I was a troublemaker!"
Mu Qi wondered, it couldn't be such an accident.
"Hey? Little Taoist friend, why are you here? Do you know where this is?" Chang Wu turned his head and asked.
Mu Qi shook his head: "I don't know."
"Alas, I don't know where my junior sister has gone. Is she in danger? Let me take a look." He said as he took out the jade token.
Mu Qi raised her eyebrows, wanting to see what expression he would have when he found her.
Before Chang Wu could activate the jade token, his leg kicked somewhere, and the place where the two of them were lying suddenly sank.
Mu Qi was startled, but it was too late to dodge, and he fell to the ground.
In a hurry, Chang Wu grabbed Mu Qi, and as soon as the sinking trend stopped, Mu Qi fell on a flesh pad, which made a slight groaning sound.
Mu Qi stood up in the dark, thought for a moment, and activated the golden light of her merit. The golden light surrounded her, and was extremely dazzling in this dim place, directly illuminating the world.
I saw that it was a long underground tunnel, and no one knew where it led to. The place where the two people above had just fallen had been completely blocked.
Mu Qi turned around and looked at Chang Wu, who was staring at her with a look of shock, and raised an eyebrow, "Why, do you look so fierce and wolfish, do you want to kill people and steal treasures?"
"Hey? What an idea, fellow Taoist!"
Mu Qi was speechless.
Chang Wu suddenly laughed, patted his butt and stood up, "It was just a joke, but what is this magic weapon that can emit beautiful light? Can I exchange it with you? I'm worried about what to give to my junior sister."
Mu Qi forgave him immediately and shook his head, "No!"
Chang Wu didn't mind and walked to the other end of the passage first.
"Little Taoist friend, you are so handsome but so weak, how dare you come here alone?" Chang Wu muttered.
Mu Qi didn't say much to people he didn't know well, even to his senior brother, and he said perfunctorily: "I'm so good-looking, wouldn't it be a waste if I don't show it to people everywhere?"
Chang Wu paused for a moment and laughed out loud, "Great! I thought so too! We are really kindred spirits!"
Chang Wu suddenly came close to Mu Qi, and his enlarged handsome face came close to him, and Mu Qi's breath paused.
His peach blossom eyes were indeed more beautiful. After reading them, Mu Qi tapped his chin and commented, "Not bad. It's not in vain that you showed me your beauty today."
Mu Qi spoke in a serious manner and made Chang Wu laugh again. His peach blossom eyes were curved to look extremely charming, although it was a bit inappropriate to describe a grown man like this.
"Little Taoist friend, I admire you very much!" Chang Wu patted Mu Qi's shoulder with bright eyes and pursed lips, "Okay, I will protect you from now on, stand behind brother."
Mu Qi then decisively hid behind him, not knowing what was ahead.
After walking about two or three hundred meters, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply, and a layer of ice began to cover the corridors on both sides. Going further, even the ground was covered with a thick layer of ice.
Mu Qi herself had an ice spirit root so she didn't feel cold. She poked Chang Wu in front of her on the back and said, "Brother, are you cold?"
"Would it make me look weak if I said I was cold?" Chang Wu trembled as he spoke, "But, it is really cold."
"Well, the spiritual power can't be used." Mu Qi said.
Chang Wu nodded calmly.
Mu Qi found that every time this happened, her senior brother was unexpectedly calm, and his mentality was really good.
A white light suddenly appeared above her head. Mu Qi subconsciously pulled Chang Wu to hide, but she was caught off guard and stepped on a piece of ice and slipped immediately. Chang Wu once again served as a meat shield behind her.
Mu Qi looked at the ground and saw several tiny cracks on the mud where the two of them had just stood.
Looking up, I saw that it was a half-white and half-black ice thorn insect. This insect could spit out poisonous ice thorns. If an ordinary cultivator was stung by it, he would die.
Perhaps it was unhappy to see the two of them dodge, so the ice thorn insect shot out a large number of ice thorns in succession, which covered the sky and the earth and went towards Mu Qi and the other person.
Mu Qi kicked the wall, and with the force he pushed Chang Wu backwards, and the two of them slid a distance on the ice.
Chang Wu was pinned down by her and had no spiritual power to deal with her. He also discovered that this little Taoist friend was extremely strong. He could not move and could only continue to serve as her flesh cushion underneath.
Mu Qi carefully observed the surroundings. After he drew out of the corridor, he found that the area was open and it was a huge ice cave. It seemed to be the territory of this ice thorn worm. There were no signs of other creatures. However, it seemed that he saw layers of white bones under the ice, which made Mu Qi feel a chill.
The ice thorn insect's one black and one white eye were spitting fire, as if it was dissatisfied with the two people running to its lair. The speed at which it spit out ice thorns became faster and stronger. Mu Qi found it quite fun to slide along the ice, which was a pity for Chang Wu who had been rubbed again and again.
Mu Qi stared at the ice thorn worm and came up with an idea.
The knife in his hand flew and stabbed into the ice thorn worm.
This move seemed to scare the ice thorn worm, and it narrowly avoided it.
Mu Qi began to counterattack, stabbing the knife one after another with extremely accurate force, trapping the ice thorn worm in a circle before it realized something was wrong.
By the time the ice thorn worm realized something was wrong and wanted to escape, it had been squeezed by the knife and had no place to move. Finally, Mu Qi cut it in two with one knife.
Chang Wu was so shocked that his mouth opened wide the whole time. This pretty little Taoist friend was really, really amazing...
"Sister, let me call you sister, can you teach me this trick?" Chang Wu shouted at Mu Qi with his eyes shining in a spineless manner.
Seeing Mu Qi looking at her, she winked at him ingratiatingly, "Sister..."
Mu Qi: “…”
"Where's your face?"
"Face? I've shown you my face, there's nothing else to look at. Sister, please teach me." Chang Wu showed his spinelessness to the extreme.
Mu Qi was so angry that she laughed. She didn’t know what his expression would be when he found out that she was actually his junior sister.
After staying in the ice cave for a long time, Chang Wu couldn't stand it anymore. His eyelashes were covered with a thin layer of white ice. He blinked and said, "Sister, I'm cold."
Subconsciously, I felt that since she was so powerful, there must be a way.
Mu Qi glanced at him and said, "Put on some clothes if you're cold."
"I can't use my spiritual power, and I can't open the storage space." Chang Wu looked pitiful, his lips were frozen purple.
Mu Qi thought about it and decided that it would be inappropriate for her to reveal the fact that she could open the space.
Finally, he simply took off his coat and put it on him, "Put it on."
Seeing that Mu Qi didn't look cold, he didn't have the nerve to return her clothes. What was the point of having backbone? He already called her sister.
Mu Qi wandered around and finally found an exit, which was covered with a thin layer of ice, which shattered when she kicked it.
Mu Qi pulled the almost frozen Chang Wu out and looked around. It was obviously a valley. After walking for a while, Chang Wu finally didn't feel cold anymore. She embarrassedly returned the clothes to Mu Qi and put them on her with a blushing face.
"Thank you, sister."
Mu Qi: “…”
I hope you won't regret it.
After walking for a while, Mu Qi felt very depressed. He didn't know what was going on here, and he couldn't use spiritual power in the valley.
Could it be that the two of them actually fell into a secret realm where they couldn't use spiritual power?
Chang Wu walked around and looked around, and seemed to be obviously more cautious than before.
He finally remembered to ask, "What's your name, little Taoist friend? My name is Chang Wu, and I'm 352 years old this year."
Mu Qi now has her eggs to cover her up, so it is difficult for others to tell how old she is unless they check. She made up a story, "My name is Duan Bai, and I am 160 years old this year."
"Ah, Sister Duan Bai, you look so young."
"You still call me sister?" Mu Qi had a strange expression.
"Just yell." Chang Wu said as he moved closer to Gou Tui and said, "Sister, please teach me how to throw a knife. It's really powerful."
Mu Qi looked at him and smiled. He didn't expect that he would be such a third senior brother.
"Sure." She said playfully, "Sister will teach you step by step."
Seeing that the area was safe and not knowing how to get out for a moment, Mu Qi lazily took out his throwing knives, handed a few to him, and then came to a big tree.
Chang Wu asked curiously, "Is your storage space still usable?"
Mu Qi: "No, I hid it in my belt. Can you smell it and see if it smells good?"
Seeing the teasing in her mouth, Chang Wu's ears turned red. He coughed lightly and said, "Sister, didn't you say you would teach me how to throw a knife? Come on."
Mu Qi walked to his right side, lifted his right hand, put a knife in it, and pinched his fingertips, "Look, pinch here with your two fingertips, half loose and half tight, a little more flexible."
Chang Wu blushed when he saw that she was really teaching him step by step.
After Mu Qi finished teaching him the hand movements, he led him to hold the flying knife and fly it towards the leaves. The flying knife immediately penetrated the leaves in a parabola and landed on a branch not far away.
Before Chang Wu could react, he heard Mu Qi say seriously, "Have you learned it? If you still can't learn it after three more times of teaching, watch out for your butt."
Chang Wu covered his butt reflexively, "No, no, I'm going to be beaten if I don't learn it?"
Mu Qi glanced at him playfully and said, "Since you are the elder sister, you have to discipline your younger brother, so study hard."
Next, Chang Wu, like a good boy, held the knife and imagined the gesture and angle of force. Before he threw the knife, he covered his butt from time to time and looked at Mu Qi carefully, fearing that she would hit him.
Mu Qi suppressed his laughter and said, "Go ahead and learn. I will beat you if you can't learn it."
"Then sister, if you teach me twice again, I will definitely do it." Chang Wu blinked twice.
Mu Qi raised his eyebrows and pointed his knife, "Say it again?"
"No, it's okay." He finally behaved himself.
Mu Qi curled the corners of his mouth, looked at the large stone on the ground next to him, picked up a large banana leaf at random, and lay down on it.
Alas, I don’t know if Yueyou and the others will learn their lesson and stop mining if they don’t see her. She can’t get anything, so it’s meaningless to work so hard to earn that little money.
They should know that she is not dangerous, after all, she has such a powerful defensive array.
As night fell, Yue You and the other five were waiting for Mu Qi to come back. She had clearly said before she left that she would be back soon, but half a day had already passed.
Several people had a bad feeling and ran to ask the person in charge of the mine. The person looked at their clothes and did not dare to neglect them. After careful recollection, he said cautiously: "He left four hours ago and has not returned since."
The five people were silent.
Yueyou's mind unconsciously flashed back to the first month when they met, when she coaxed him into coming back after he counted to 10,000.
He trusted her so much that time, but he counted 100,000 and still couldn't find her.
It's the same this time again, what was said has not been fulfilled.
But this time he really wanted to believe that she had not lied to him, and that she had not taken the opportunity to abandon him.
Yue You had a cold face and walked back to the mining area to continue mining. She didn't believe that she had really abandoned him again.
Du Chuanting and the other three looked at his back and followed him silently back to mine.
They also didn't believe that she would really abandon them like this. They didn't make trouble for her this time, so why would she leave?
The group of five picked up their chisels and continued digging in silence. No one spoke, as if they were waiting for her to come back.
Mu Qi saw that it was getting dark, so he asked Chang Wu to stop.
Chang Wu was too embarrassed to be beaten by a little girl, so he kept practicing seriously. He was able to throw the flying knife quite well the second time, and now he has become quite accurate after practicing so much.
Mu Qi looked around and decided to stay here for the night.
She ordered, "Brother, go pick some banana leaves."
Chang Wu touched his head, wondering why he always felt weird when she called him like that.
He came under the banana tree and found that the leaves at the bottom were already broken and only the leaves at the top were usable.
I jumped as hard as I could, but I couldn't reach it.
After looking up for a while, he felt worried. He turned back to look at Mu Qi who was lying on his side, wondering what he was thinking about. He stared at the thick tree trunk, rubbed his hands, and decided to give it a try.
He hugged the tree trunk and tried to step up, but as soon as he put his second leg up, he slipped down.
Chang Wu: “…”
This involves some of his blind spots in knowledge. He has been practicing Taoism since he was 4 years old, so he has never practiced climbing trees. This really makes it difficult for him.
He had a headache, so he squatted under a tree, looked up, and thought about life while holding a piece of grass in his mouth.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qi walked behind him.
Chang Wu coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about how to climb up the tree in a cool way. I always feel that every pose I take is not cool enough."
Mu Qi: “…”
She just saw it all, but she's still pretending.
Mu Qi sighed, walked up to him and tore off his belt with one hand, scaring Chang Wu so much that he immediately covered his clothes.
"Sister, this is too fast, isn't it?"
Mu Qi wanted to laugh and gave him a playful look, "So what you mean is that it's okay to go slower?"
Chang Wu's ears immediately turned red, "No, no, I..."
Mu Qi chuckled, swung his belt, and immediately hung it on the petiole of the nearest complete banana leaf. He pulled hard, and the whole banana leaf fell off.
Chang Wu's eyes lit up: "How clever!"
Mu Qi ignored him and picked a few more pieces in the same way, then handed the belt back to him.
"Okay, carry him over there and let him lie down." He took two sheets of paper and walked over first, spreading them on the soft grass.
Chang Wu tied his belt, picked up the banana leaves and happily spread them next to her.
Mu Qi lay lazily on three banana leaves and glanced at Chang Wu who lay carefully next to her.
She asked, "Hey, brother, you are the third disciple of Immortal Jing'e, right?"
"Uh, yes." Chang Wu was not surprised at all that Mu Qi knew him. After all, his master was famous, and as a disciple, he naturally could not keep a low profile.
"Then tell me, are your senior brothers easy to get along with?" Mu Qi asked.
When Chang Wu talked about this, he leaned sideways and propped up his head, then talked to Mu Qi.
"My eldest brother is pretty good, but my second brother is cold and icy. Every time I do something wrong and he glances at me, I get nervous. My second brother is really too cold."
Mu Qi nodded thoughtfully. The eldest senior brother was easy to get along with, so it was better not to provoke the second senior brother.
Chang Wu rambled on and on, "You asking me this reminded me that I haven't seen my two brothers for a long time. I don't know where they are training or in seclusion. I miss them a lot."
"But if my master hadn't said he would take in a little junior sister, I would probably still be out there gaining experience."
Mu Qi asked tentatively, "Aren't you afraid that your junior sister will snatch your things? For example, all the good things that your master originally prepared for you were given to her."
Chang Wu looked at Mu Qi in surprise, "Duan Bai, why do you think so? You haven't heard the news yet, right? My junior sister is a peerless genius, so what's wrong with loving her a little? I'm still waiting for her to take me to the Ascension!"
Mu Qi: “…”
"If she wasn't an extraordinary genius, would you not acknowledge her as your junior sister?"
Chang Wu immediately shook his head, "No, if Master accepts her, then she must be a good Junior Sister. My Master has very picky eyes."
He said embarrassedly, "Everyone says that my junior sister is the most beautiful woman in Jiyao Continent. Although I have seen her and think that you, Duan Bai, are more like the most beautiful woman, I still like my junior sister very much. It's just that she is a little scary. I have to find a way to get along with her well."
Chang Wu spoke in a very serious manner, which made Mu Qi feel complicated.
She is so lucky that she meets people who treat her well wherever she goes.
