Chapter 99 Secret Realm 6 Gong Shiyu and Chu Xingjin looked at each other in bewilderment...

Gong Shiyu and Chu Xingjin looked at each other, feeling a sense of powerlessness as they had put in a lot of effort only to have it so easily countered by someone else.

Chu Xingjin kept telling himself not to be afraid. Although Gongshi Moyu was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he was just a pill cultivator. At the same level, pill cultivators had no way to fight against sword cultivators. Even if there was a big level difference, it didn't mean he was absolutely no match.

He spent half a day mentally preparing himself, but he couldn't even draw his sword, standing there like a quail.

Gongshi Yu transmitted his voice to Chu Xingjin: "There's no other way. Even if you and I join forces and can kill Gongshi Moyu, we can't do it. Otherwise, the Xie family will definitely find out, and maybe even the Gongshi family will find out."

"Alas, it's not that your decision was flawed, Lord Chu, it's just that we didn't discover that the thief Gongshi Moyu was hiding here, which is why we couldn't take action."

Chu Xingjin breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, if Gongshi Moyu hadn't been absent before, would they have had such thoughts? If Gongshi Moyu hadn't suddenly reappeared, they would definitely have already captured the demon beast and Xie Jiaoyue together!

Yes, it's all Gongshi Moyu's fault.

Gong Shi Moyu's eyes were extremely cold and indifferent as he looked down at the remaining two. His gaze was like the deep, dark water in a clear, cold pool, chilling people from the outside in, as if he could see right through their hearts.

"What are you two up to, sneaking over here like this?"

Those words were so cold and heartless that they made Chu Xingjin feel very uncomfortable, and directly ignited his anger.

Chu Xingjin waved the talisman in his hand: "What's wrong? Can't we attack the demonic beasts to help Xie Jiaoyue? Of course we have to be sneaky, otherwise what if we attract the attention of the demonic beasts?"

It's just a talisman. They never said they were going to use it for anything. Why should Gong Shi Moyu suspect them of having a problem?

He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

Gong Shi Moyu didn't respond immediately, but instead took a step forward, blocking their spellcasting space, and then slowly said, "Jiaoyue doesn't need your help."

After Gongshi Moyu finished speaking, he completely ignored Chu Xingjin and Gongshi Yu, focusing intently on Xie Jiaoyue's performance.

Yes, it's time for the performance.

Xie Jiaoyue was no longer as cautious and careful as before, meticulously calculating every move. Instead, she began to experiment with various moves according to her own ideas, taking out different numbers of sword qi pills and combining them with different sword moves, trying to find the most powerful way and angle to attack.

She used a full eighty-one moves, and with the final strike piercing the monster's neck, the monster finally let out a roar of resentment before slowly collapsing to the ground.

The beast's dark red blood gushed from its neck, spraying all over Xie Jiaoyue's body and face as she couldn't dodge in time.

No, it didn't spray directly onto Xie Jiaoyue's body. Instead, it floated on the surface of her body, forming a thin film that couldn't directly contact her.

They couldn't touch her at all, because Xie Jiaoyue's body was tightly surrounded by a dense layer of spiritual energy, leaving no gaps.

After such a long and intense battle, Xie Jiaoyue is about to break through!

She will soon become the first Foundation Establishment disciple of the new generation in Golden Spirit City!

Gong Shiyu, who had already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, did not react much to this, but Chu Xingjin was in turmoil.

Although Xie Jiaoyue's cultivation level was often higher than his, he had caught up with her as she had been stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining without breaking through.

He had always thought that he would be the first to establish his foundation, but it turned out that it was Xie Jiaoyue.

Could it be that Xie Jiaoyue's fierce battles before were all for the purpose of breaking through?

Are you crazy? How can you take such a big risk for something that was bound to happen sooner or later? Even with Gongshi Moyu watching over you, there is still a very high probability that you will die under the claws of a demon beast.

Only Gongshi Moyu had anticipated this moment and immediately triggered the pre-prepared spirit-gathering array, causing the already abundant spiritual energy in the secret realm to gather around Xie Jiaoyue.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air gradually dissipated, and all the gathered spiritual energy was absorbed by Xie Jiaoyue. Xie Jiaoyue has established her foundation!

Exhausted, Xie Jiaoyue fell from mid-air like a butterfly with broken wings and was caught in Gongshi Moyu's arms.

Gongshi Moyu looked down and saw Xie Jiaoyue's bright eyes, her large eyes blinking as they reflected Gongshi Moyu's figure, making it impossible to look away.

"You're too bold to start your foundational journey at this time. Next time, you need to be more prepared."

"If I hadn't established my foundation just now, my body would have been covered in thick, foul-smelling demon blood. It's too dirty; I don't like it."

A response that perfectly reflects Xie Jiaoyue's personality.

Xie Jiaoyue wrapped her arms around Gongshi Moyu's neck and said lazily in a coquettish tone, "Brother Moyu, I'm tired, so tired that I can't move."

She had fought the monsters for a long time and had many wounds, big and small, on her body. Although they were not fatal, they were enough to make her feel pain with the slightest movement.

The pain from the wound, combined with the muscle soreness from overexertion, made Xie Jiaoyue not want to move at all.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

Gong Shi Moyu conjured up a soft, wheeled chair from who-knows-where, gently placed Xie Jiaoyue on it, and then took a slender knife and began harvesting the monster corpses.

Xie Jiaoyue finally had some free time, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over her. She half-closed her eyes and lazily lay back in the chair, saying in a soft voice, "Oh, Brother Chu and Young Master Yu, what a coincidence."

"Didn't you come in earlier than me? Why are you still here at this time? Could it be that Brother Chu misses me? Then we are really on the same wavelength, I miss Brother Chu too."

Perhaps because there were fewer viewers, Xie Jiaoyue didn't act very seriously. Her tone was completely different from her previous affectionate tone. Instead, it was light and casual, as if she were a playboy flirting with an acquaintance.

Chu Xingjin found Xie Jiaoyue's words sarcastic.

Before coming to the Azure Kite Secret Realm, he got up early and went to the Lanshan Lane Auction House, only to be turned away! The owner said that the auction house had been sold by Xie Jiaoyue!

They also said that although Boss Xie claimed that he bought the auction house for his fiancé, as the auction house manager, he had to be responsible to the boss. Without the boss's permission, even if his fiancé himself came, he could not take anything from the auction house at will.

What does this show? It shows that Xie Jiaoyue talks a good game, but her actions are two-faced; she doesn't really care about him at all! She's just looking out for her own interests.

He only expressed his feelings for Feng Qianqian, so why is Xie Jiaoyue so vengeful and indifferent to him?

This woman's jealousy is terrifying; she's not good enough for him at all.

If Xie Jiaoyue knew that even now, Chu Xingjin still thought she was jealous, rather than simply vying for resources, she would probably laugh out loud.

This man is incredibly confident.

She turned the chair wheels and leaned in, coaxing, "Brother Chu, don't you miss me at all? I miss you so much that I can't eat and I've even lost weight."

As she spoke, she placed her hand on Chu Xingjin's waist and, out of Gong Shiyu's sight, swiftly removed the ornament from Gong Shiyu's side.

Chu Xingjin got carried away by Xie Jiaoyue's casual remark and began to boast shamelessly, "If you miss me, have Gongshi Moyu give me that demon beast's inner core later. I know you don't want to come to the Gongshi clan, but I will go to the Xie clan to see you later."

Xie Jiaoyue spun the chair wheels backward: "I'm afraid that won't work. I need to use the demon beast's inner core to consolidate my Foundation Establishment cultivation. Otherwise, if Brother Chu encounters danger in the secret realm later, wouldn't I be unable to protect him?"

This same old excuse again made Chu Xingjin even angrier.

He doesn't want the protection of a cultivation furnace! Even if that furnace has a higher cultivation level or better swordsmanship than him, it's still not acceptable!

He was so angry that he lost his mind and turned around and left with Gong Shiyu.

He also wants to find a Foundation Establishment stage demon beast to prove himself! So what if it's a demon beast? Xie Jiaoyue can kill it, and so can he! Xie Jiaoyue can reach Foundation Establishment, and so can he!

After everyone left, Gongshi Moyu had already neatly dismantled and packed up the demon beast and returned to Xie Jiaoyue's side.

"What did you just take?"

Xie Jiaoyue pulled a scroll from her sleeve: "I don't know either, it just looked pretty and unfamiliar, so I picked it up to take a look." As she unrolled the scroll, she said, "They've watched the play for so long, it shouldn't be a problem for me to charge them a little admission fee, right?"

The scroll is light brown and not very long, about the length of a forearm when unfolded. When unfolded, it looks like a three-dimensional painting with mountains, rivers and unidentified markings drawn on it at varying heights.

"This is... a map of a secret realm?"

Gong Shi Moyu nodded in agreement.

Holy crap, the Gongshi clan has such good stuff! No wonder the Gongshi clan always gets more from the Qingyuan Secret Realm than other clans.

Xie Jiaoyue asked in confusion, "Is this a lot of things? Is it precious? If it's precious, why is Chu Xingjin wearing it on his waist?"

It's so easy to lose.

Gongshi Moyu said, "This is not easy to make. The terrain in the secret realm changes frequently, and the location of different areas changes often. To make a map, you need to use extremely special and precious materials, and even the Gongshi clan does not have many of them."

Gongshi Moyu couldn't figure out Xingjin's thoughts either, and guessed, "Maybe he thinks it looks better and more dashing this way?"

It was a highly improbable move, but it somehow made perfect sense when applied to Chu Xingjin.

Having finally acquired such a precious treasure, I wouldn't be satisfied without showing it off.

Xie Jiaoyue put the map away: "Brother Moyu, we should go back now."

She stretched out her hands: "I'm so tired, carry me."

The way he acted coquettishly towards Gong Shi Moyu was different from how he acted towards Chu Xingjin. It seemed like a very natural thing to do, something that came out of his mouth without any purpose or need for much thought.

Gong Shi Moyu obediently squatted down in front of Xie Jiaoyue, at a height that was just right for Xie Jiaoyue to climb directly onto his back from the chair.

A soft touch came from my back.

It was delicate, warm, and soft, and under the influence of gravity, it clung tightly to his back.
