The female lead is powerful, ruthless, and stunningly beautiful—she stops at nothing to get what she wants. Sheng Wu, the Ghost King sealed beneath the Abyss of Ten-Thousand Ghosts, is cruel and ...
Wuyan was the youngest, and due to years of poor diet and poor development, he was much thinner and shorter than the other teenagers. Even Hua Lingjiu was taller than him.
The ten-year-old boy looks like a six-year-old child.
Hearing this, Wuyan felt a shadow falling slightly on his head. His eyes moved slightly, covering up the darkness. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were clear.
"For, mine?"
His voice was hoarse and slow, revealing uncertainty and timidity.
He even didn't dare to look Luo Qi in the eye.
The skinny Wuyan exudes a sense of weakness and vulnerability, which makes it easy for people to look down on him, thinking that he is just an ant in the dust that anyone can step on.
Seeing this, Luo Qi frowned, smiled, took Wuyan's hand directly, and handed the fruit to him.
"Well, it's for you. Eat some first to fill your stomach. We'll make something delicious when we get home in the evening."
“…”
Wuyan's eyes froze, and before he could react, the other disciples seemed to notice his embarrassment and nervousness, and immediately laughed and teased Luo Qi.
"Good for you, Luo Qi, you actually hid one! You feel sorry for your junior brother, but none of us have a share."
"Eleven, come and try it! This fruit is the biggest one. The one that your Senior Brother Luo Qi saved for last must be the best!"
"That's right, it's only Junior Brother who can be taken care of by you, while I can only be mocked by you and forced to eat wild fruits! Senior Brother, your partiality is too obvious, it makes us all jealous!"
Hua Lingjiu raised his eyebrows and smiled with a playful look.
The young men were arm in arm, their smiles clear and pure.
Obviously, they were trying to reduce Wuyan's timidity and alienation and to make him fit in with the group.
During the tryouts, everyone noticed this out-of-place and weird person, and some people ridiculed and looked down on him.
However, among the other ten people chosen by Sheng Wu, none of them had ever looked down on or mocked him.
But at that time, everyone was just a stranger and just watched.
Now they have become fellow disciples, and their master's philosophy is to make them united and not fight among themselves. Naturally, they also include the youngest junior brother Wuyan into their group.
Wuyan held a fruit in his hand, and his fingertips moved slightly. He still lowered his head and looked away, his voice low and deep.
"Thank you, Brother..."
After saying these four simple words, he didn't say anything else. He just took the fruit and didn't eat it directly.
Seeing this, Luo Qi smiled helplessly. He raised his hand and patted Wuyan's shoulder.
"You're welcome, brother. Okay, continue to rest."
After saying that, he left the area where Wuyan was, and did not disturb him again, making him feel uneasy and nervous.
The others didn't say anything more and continued to rest.
Hua Lingjiu, standing nearby, watched, his eyes flickering slightly. "System, you said they were only twelve or thirteen years old, yet they were able to discern the villain's cowardice and discomfort, handling his relationships appropriately, showing concern without burdening him with excessive attention. These young men are much more honest than the other treacherous sects of the Xianyun Sect."
When she first read this book, she almost died of anger when she saw the heroine Sheng Wu being besieged by the people from the Xianyun Sect and demanding that the righteous sect purge them on the grounds of being evil.
At least one-third of the credit for the Xianyun Sect's development to this point is due to the reputation and ability of Shengwu, the number one immortal.
But those people were jealous of Sheng Wu's cultivation and her style of doing things without worrying about the ways of the world now that she had the strength, so they took advantage of her misfortune. They were all from the Xianyun Sect who usually wanted to suck more blood from her.
They all attacked her and said some high-sounding words.
Of course, there are also some disciples with pure hearts and minds who do not participate in these things. Perhaps, these people are just disciples accepted by Sheng Wu.
The system listened and couldn't quite understand Hua Lingjiu's views on human nature, but it still remembered the mission.
[Host, Wuyan is no longer the villain you need to save. You don't need to pay too much attention to him.]
Hearing this, Hua Lingjiu frowned. Of course she knew it, but she was a living person, not a heartless machine or data.
She couldn't do that. She turned a blind eye to the tragic characters in the book she was reading and remained unmoved.
When she was reading the book, she felt happy and sad because of them, let alone now that she had become a part of the game.
However, Hua Lingjiu also understood that he needed to do something with a purpose before returning home, so he put some of his thoughts aside.
"Okay, it's getting late. We've only traveled a third of the way. We need to speed up. Let's continue on our journey."
Yu Chenming watched from the side, his eyes calm and composed.
Upon hearing this, the people who had recovered some strength after resting did not complain. Instead, they immediately stood up and rekindled their fighting spirit.
"good!"
"Let's go, let's go. I guess Master is still waiting for us to go back."
"Hahaha, kid, you don't think that Master is watching us all the time, do you?"
"Hush, you never know. It's because Master is so powerful! If I could reach half her level, it would bring honor to our family!"
......
Sheng Wu, who was being talked about by the disciples, was currently in an underground cave in the Black Domain Forest.
"Ah!" An extremely sharp and shrill roar from a beast, revealing great pain and anger.
"Who are you! Why do you want to kill me?!"
The cave was filled with fiery red magma, which kept bubbling and spurting out with scorching heat. The dark rocks around it were even more invaded by rolling heat waves.
The cave was filled with red beams of light, which made people feel uneasy.
And Sheng Wu, wearing a light purple and gold robe, stood on the edge of the rock. The temperature that could almost burn the flesh seemed to have no effect on her at all.
Her cold gaze was now filled with a hint of bloodiness, and the bottom of her eyes was scarlet, reflected by the red magma.
In the middle of the rock about four or five meters away, there was a phoenix that was beaten to death.
The phoenix was covered in flowing light and exuded a strong aura. However, at this moment, there was blood under its sharp beak and it was staring at Sheng Wu with a fierce look in its eyes.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu raised the blood-stained sword in her right hand and launched another fierce attack.
"I'm in a bad mood today, so I'm going to kill you to vent my anger." Her bloody and perverse attitude was really arrogant.
“?!”
As she attacked, she spoke carelessly, almost choking the Phoenix on the ground, which was severely injured and vomiting blood.
What the hell? I finally found a place to recuperate, but a powerful cultivator showed up and attacked me without saying a word, and every time he used a killing move!
It thought for a long time and couldn't understand when it had offended such a big shot.
"Oh, you're quite arrogant!"
The phoenix quickly stood up and spread its wings to dodge Sheng Wu's killing move. Unfortunately, its old injuries had not healed yet, and it was now at the end of its strength.
A man and a beast were fighting in a huge cave. The powerful impact caused the underground magma to surge, and the black rocks next to it were shattered and scattered.
