Jin Shu was nothing more than a 'white moonlight' whose spiritual power was destroyed in a cultivation novel. The men who once loved and protected her became infatuated with a junior sister...
Chapter 20 The White Moonlight Kills the Male and Female Protagonists (20)
"Don't say that, everyone is very capable! Especially the senior sister, I even lost to her in this year's trial."
"You've only been cultivating for a few years, how many years has she been cultivating? Over four thousand years old arguing with a teenage girl like you, aren't you afraid of being laughed at!"
Meng Ling felt a little awkward. She wanted to say something, but she was tongue-tied and made things worse the more she tried to explain.
"Alright, let her train like a fool! In the next trial tournament, I guarantee she won't even be able to beat one of your fingers!"
A group of people, chatting and laughing, rode in the dragon-scale carriage unique to Kunlun Immortal Mountain, flying over mountains and rivers and across the vast ocean, heading towards the Jade Pool Forest built by the Queen Mother of the West.
The Queen Mother of the West loved extravagance and luxury. Whenever she spent manpower and resources to build a novel palace, she would invite immortals from all over the world to come and enjoy it.
This time, Meng Ling came to Yaochi with the others. From a distance, it looked like a giant lotus flower blooming in the clouds, with countless rare and exotic beasts running and playing freely around the fairy pool.
The most eye-catching of them all is a peacock with seven-colored feathers, which is dancing gracefully around the Jade Pool. You can vaguely see the dazzling brilliance shining from each of its long feathers.
This was the first time Meng Ling had ever seen such a luxurious and extravagant fairy pool, and many fairies were already playing in it.
As for the opposite sex, they will continue to move forward.
Behind the Jade Pool lies a vast expanse of celestial mountains, filled with rare and precious treasures secretly hidden by the Queen Mother of the West. If one can find them through their own abilities, they can take them back directly.
Therefore, compared to the Jade Pool, men prefer the opportunities that follow.
On a quiet night, Lianxin and Xinyi both went.
"My senior sister usually loves these kinds of activities, why isn't she here today?"
Lianxin felt from the bottom of his heart that Jin Shu had changed too much, as if she had been possessed. If it weren't for the unchanging coldness in her eyes, he would have reported it to his master and asked him to perform a ritual for her.
Jingye's tone was somewhat stiff.
"It's just that their true nature has been revealed. Now that the spiritual veins have recovered, they no longer need us, so naturally they won't treat us well anymore."
"Senior brother, please be kind with your words. After all, she is senior sister."
Xin Yi's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"There's no need to hold a grudge against your senior sister over trivial matters."
Jingye looked at him and snorted coldly.
After hearing what he said, it seemed like I was the one who was selfish and petty.
Sensing that the atmosphere between the two was not right, Lianxin quickly stepped in to speak.
"We are all fellow disciples, so don't let this little thing ruin our brotherhood."
"Alright, alright, the sacred mountain is just ahead! Let's hurry, or all the good stuff will be snatched up by others."
Meanwhile, inside the secluded cave, Jin Shu slowly opened her eyes.
If I remember correctly, today should be the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West.
In the dream, the female disciples, whose spiritual veins had been destroyed and had not yet recovered, did not invite her to go together.
Instead, he went directly to Meng Ling.
This time, Meng Ling should have gone with them too.
It was at this time that Meng Ling discovered a treasure in the fairy mountain of the Queen Mother of the West.
That place is a secret realm set up by the Queen Mother of the West, and no one is allowed to approach it.
But Meng Ling still sneaked in.
He said he was deceived by those female disciples.
Once inside, as the female protagonist, she was already incredibly lucky and found the treasure that the Queen Mother of the West had hidden in the secret realm with almost no effort.
Jin Shu didn't know what that treasure was.
However, judging from the fact that it took the Queen Mother of the West many days to discover this, the thing must have been very large, and Meng Ling couldn't take it with her. So she could only go there secretly and refine it little by little.
After that, Meng Ling's cultivation level did indeed increase significantly, and she once broke through the peak of the middle realm of the Integration stage, almost stepping into the later realm.
But as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." Half a month later, the Queen Mother of the West discovered that her most precious treasure had been stolen. In a fit of rage, she mobilized the entire Western Sea to search for it.
Meng Ling was quickly identified.
After all, she frequently visited the immortal mountains, and with the Queen Mother of the West's extraordinary abilities, how much of the world's affairs could be kept from her?
And so, Meng Ling was punished.
What followed was that, in order to save her, Canglan took the immortal herb that Jin Shu had painstakingly sought and presented it to the Queen Mother in exchange for Meng Ling's safety.
Jin Shu no longer wanted to recall the ending.
After all, every time she woke up from her dream, in that half-dreaming, half-awake state, Jin Shu could hear Cang Lan's righteous words to her.
Thinking of this, she got up and left the cave, taking Feiyun with her to the Western Sea.
The West Sea has been unusually lively lately, as everyone comes to celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West, and ordinary immortal disciples come to visit the Jade Pool on the immortal mountain.
Those of the rank of Immortal Venerable Canglan could travel to the depths of the Western Sea to drink with the Queen Mother.
When Jin Shu arrived, the road to Yaochi was already very crowded.
Mounts and mythical beasts were everywhere, stretching for miles from Yaochi.
Jin Shu looked into the distance, then patted Fei Yun's head, instructing it to take her directly to the immortal mountain behind it.
The mountain was shrouded in mist, and there were noticeably fewer people coming here.
Given that this place is full of dangerous traps set by the Queen Mother of the West, and as the most stingy and petty queen mother in the entire immortal race, one would naturally have to pay a price to obtain her treasures.
For example, right now, Jin Shu had just stepped into the forest when she saw a disciple covered in blood and unconscious.
Judging from their clothes, they should be disciples of Xuanyuan Mountain.
Just as Jin Shu was about to continue walking in, she suddenly heard a burst of laughter behind her.
She immediately leaped up the tree, hiding among the dense foliage and looking down.
It was Meng Ling and her gang.
They had just come from Yaochi, and the girls were chatting and laughing, which made the tense atmosphere of the fairy mountain much more lively.
“Meng Ling, your three senior brothers are all inside. If you go in, you'll have someone to protect you. But if we go in, no one will protect us.”
"It's alright, I'll protect you."
Meng Lingzheng urged them to go in together.
Jin Shu watched silently, recalling Meng Ling's words in her dream after she was captured, explaining that she had been tricked into going there by several female disciples who were with her.
Later, those female disciples were severely punished by the Queen Mother of the West in her great anger.
But now it seems the truth is different from what Meng Ling said.
After lingering outside for a while, the group went inside.
Jin Shu followed silently.
The fog was very thick in the woods, but at first we could still see quite a few people. Everyone was in high spirits, and the laughter and chatter never stopped.
But soon, as the fog thickened and the sounds around them diminished, the atmosphere among the crowd became tense.
"Meng Ling, why don't we leave now and not go any further in? I've heard that the inside is a secret realm set up by the Queen Mother of the West, and it's very dangerous to go in casually."
“My senior brothers are definitely inside. With them there, what is there to be afraid of? They will definitely protect us.”
Meng Ling continued to persuade him.
