Fen Jue raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Then tell me why."

Gingerbread switched to using one hand to support herself on the railing. "People, you know, all have this kind of curiosity that's better left unsaid, the more you remind me, the more I'll pay attention." She instructed everyone not to go out at night, because a cultivator's meditation would pass in the blink of an eye.

"Because of what she said, people will definitely be curious at midnight and pay attention to what might happen outside. Wouldn't that make it easier for the monster to detect who is a human cultivator?"

"Hmm." Fen Jue smiled with satisfaction. "Luckily, my brain wasn't damaged by the fright."

She didn't!

Gingerbread retorted in a low voice.

"Oh, little sparrow fairy, you're awake. How did you sleep last night?"

Aunt Purple Fox suddenly appeared from behind.

Oh my god, that startled her so much!

Gingerbread's head feathers trembled. "Good morning, Aunt Purple Fox. I slept soundly until dawn."

"Is that so?" Purple Fox leaned against the railing, moved closer to Gingerbread, and lingered her gaze on her face. "Her skin is rosy, delicate, and radiant. She must have slept very well."

"Hehehe—" Gingerbread tilted its head back.

She distanced herself from the boss's wife.

Gingerbread felt like the way the other person was looking at her was like they were looking at a pastry.

"I'm going to find my sister, boss lady, you're busy."

Gingerbread wiped the sweat that was almost dripping from her forehead in fear, and ran to Wen Yuzhao's door and banged on it.

"It's me, open the door!"

Wen Yuzhao opened the door from the inside.

Liu Zheng was also there.

"I was afraid of waking you, so my senior sister came to my room to discuss matters." Wen Yuzhao placed his hands on Jiang Bingbing's shoulders and pushed her to the table to sit down.

"Senior brother, that proprietress is so strange!" Gingerbread said with lingering fear.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao asked at the same time.

"Just now, Aunt Purple Fox's pupils suddenly turned into vertical pupils, and she looked at me like I was looking at a plate of snacks." Gingerbread picked up her teacup and added, "And the delicious kind!"

A sly glint flashed in Liu Zheng's bright eyes. "Foxes love to eat little birds."

"puff--"

Gingerbread spat out a mouthful of water.

"Senior sister, you're teasing me when I'm so scared."

Wen Yuzhao chimed in, "My junior sister is too delicious, the proprietress is craving her."

"Thank you, you guys are really nice."

Gingerbread closed its eyes in sorrow and rubbed its forehead.

What exactly made the eldest senior sister and second senior brother so unsteady?

Wen Yuzhao smiled and shook the copper bell.

We ordered several dishes.

After finishing breakfast, the three headed straight for the Bloodthirsty Abyss.

Phoenix City was still as deserted as it had been yesterday, with only a few demon cultivators passing by in a hurry, all with fierce and menacing faces.

Gingerbread and his companions walked out of Phoenix City.

Liu Zheng suggested, "Taking a spaceship would be too conspicuous. Let's ride a low-level spirit bird there."

"Alright!" Gingerbread silently chanted the incantation and summoned the spirit bird.

They flew for about half an hour.

We have finally arrived at the legendary Bloodthirsty Abyss.

Looking down from above.

There is a huge chasm in the valley.

Dark red blood gushed from the crack, and a sinister aura emanated from all around. Withered branches struggled desperately in the crevices of the mottled black rocks.

It truly lives up to its name, the Bloodthirsty Abyss.

“Let’s go down and take a look.” Liu Zheng’s gaze fell on the white skeletons undulating in the abyss.

"Eldest Sister and Second Senior Brother."

Gingerbread called the two of them to a stop, "These are antidotes, take one before you go down."

Wen Yuzhao held the pill in his hand, looked up in confusion and asked, "Where did Junior Sister get the antidote pill?"

He poured out one gingerbread cake and ate it himself, saying, "This was given to me by Senior Brother Xie from Lingyao Peak."

“Xie Xinglan from Lingyao Peak?” Wen Yuzhao’s eyes became meaningful. “He has an eccentric personality and never gives anyone pills.”

Liu Zheng nodded in agreement in silence.

A teasing glint flashed in Wen Yuzhao's clear, bright eyes.

"unless--"

"Unless what?" Gingerbread patted the spirit bird's neck, causing it to land on the open ground.

"Unless that silly boy has feelings for our junior sister." Wen Yuzhao quickly finished speaking, then leaped down as if fleeing.

What the hell?!

Gingerbread almost fell off the bird's back.

Liu Zheng helped her up and said seriously, "Xie Xinglan is not suitable for Junior Sister. My personality is boring enough, but he is even more boring than me. All he does every day is refine pills and blow up his pill furnace."

“No, you guys…” Gingerbread gestured helplessly.

Wen Yuzhao pondered briefly, "Senior Sister is right. Then tell me, what kind of man is worthy of Junior Sister?"

"No one is good enough for him." Liu Zheng shook his head firmly.

The determination in her eyes was even more unwavering than the day she achieved Core Formation.

"Hey, you guys..." Is nobody listening to me?

Wen Yuzhao and Liu Zheng walked ahead on their own, while Jiang Bingbing withdrew her little hand that had been hanging in mid-air.

She sighed softly, "Never mind."

The once eerie and sinister Bloodlust Abyss.

It's not scary at all from their discussion of this topic.

Liu Zheng and Wen Yuzhao recounted all the young talents of the Sword Sect.

The final conclusion of the discussion was that they could support gingerbread for the rest of their lives.

"Can you guys at least show some respect for the super-invincible and terrifying Bloodlust Abyss dungeon?" Comrade Xiao Jiang helplessly picked at his fingers as he followed behind.

"Whoosh—"

A cold wind blew by.

Gingerbread chased after Liu Zheng and hugged his arm.

Wen Yuzhao frowned and glanced around warily.

"There's a smell of blood." Liu Zheng drew his heavy sword from his back. "Junior sister, get behind me."

"Yes, sir!"

Gingerbread quickly hid behind Liu Zheng, adhering to the principle that even if she couldn't help, she shouldn't hold him back in the slightest.

The black fog nearby thickened.

Wen Yuzhao lit a fire at his fingertips, illuminating the surroundings.

"Roar, crack, hiss—"

A faint roar could be heard from not far away.

Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "A corpse."

"Senior Sister." Wen Yuzhao formed hand seals, summoning a wood spirit root to attack the vines. "You on the left, I'll on the right."

"Um."

Without wasting words, Liu Zheng swung his sword towards the left half of the field.

Gingerbread took out Five Thunder Talismans from its storage bag and tossed them out like they were free.

A series of explosions followed.

The thick black fog was blasted apart, illuminating the area as brightly as daytime, even more so than the impact of Liu Zheng's sword energy.

Wen Yuzhao turned his head and saw it, then reminded her with concern, "Junior Sister, use it sparingly."

Talismans are quite valuable.

In their eyes, Gingerbread's actions were no different from scattering handfuls of spirit stones on the ground.

"I understand!" Gingerbread calmed down a bit.

She can draw thousands of these modified Five Thunder Talismans in one night.

Wen Yuzhao and Liu Zheng were unaware that their junior sister had thrown away all her belongings, and they both felt even more useless.

Liu Zheng swung his sword even harder.

The corpse-like figure roared and twisted as it crawled incessantly.

Kill one circle and another surges up.

A corpse crawled up to him. When Gingerbread saw its appearance, he was startled and blurted out, "My goodness, this little thing is really something."

Even Fen Jue was in the mood to joke, "Perhaps you want to say that the little thing is really unique in appearance?"

"Just understand it intuitively, just understand it intuitively!"

Gingerbread grinned.
