Chapter 17 (Overhauled)

"You wouldn't care even if I died anyway!"

The boy's words echoed in Lian Yu's mind again.

Lian Yu closed his eyes tightly.

I'm so angry. How could I raise such an ungrateful kid?

He also said that he didn't care about his own life or death. Fine, then he wouldn't care. As long as Qin Yiyi died in the illusion, he would leave immediately, just in time to not delay the mission.

"What are you thinking about, Junior Brother? You've almost bitten your cheeks a circle bigger."

Mingzhu waved in front of Lian Yu. Seeing Lian Yu come back to his senses, she raised her chin at the screen in front of her that was made of spiritual power.

"That's your apprentice, right? You're asking him to take part in the trial so soon. Aren't you afraid of something going wrong?"

"Don't worry about him." Lian Yu snorted coldly.

Mingzhu looked at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, as if she had seen through everything.

The trial will begin soon.

Most disciples choose to travel together in the early stages of the trial.

But for them, after enduring numerous challenges, the final challenge they face is none other than their own fellow disciples. After all, resources are limited, and to obtain sufficient resources, the number of winners must be small enough, so the trials often devolve into internal strife.

The sect has no special attitude towards this matter, as long as no one dies, it’s fine.

But Lian Yu had never seen such obvious intention to harm people from the very beginning.

On the screen, Qin Yi was standing in front of a ferocious monster, and his retreat was blocked by several older disciples behind him.

Those disciples seemed to be forcing Qin Yi and the monster to tremble.

Lian Yu stared at the screen, his brows furrowed little by little.

Beside him, Mingzhu chuckled, "I'm afraid your little disciple is in danger. Don't you want to go check on him?"

Lian Yu gritted his teeth.

"No, go."

——

In front of him, a mountain-like monster roared with its bloody mouth wide open.

The fishy wind blew on Qin Yi's face.

He heard the disciples snickering behind him.

The sharp teeth as thick as ancient trees bit towards Qin Yi.

Qin Yi saw the opportunity and jumped.

He then kicked with his sharp toes, and his hand transformed into a dagger with spiritual power, stabbing it fiercely at the back of the monster's neck.

In an instant, black blood gushed out like a fountain.

A huge mountain collapsed.

The young man jumped down from the rising dust and landed in front of several stunned disciples.

Qin Yi spread out his palms.

On his slender white palm lay a huge, blood-stained soul stone.

The trial is scored with soul stones. You can get a soul stone for each monster you kill. The higher the level of the monster killed, the bigger the soul stone, and accordingly, the more points you get.

As for the source of soul stones, they can not only be obtained by killing monsters, but also by stealing them from others.

"You said that as long as I killed this monster, you would let me join you."

Qin raised his eyes.

The leading disciple was called Shen Zheng, with thick eyebrows, round eyes, a straight posture, and a very decent appearance.

The leader is the most likely to take first place.

"I...did promise you."

Shen Zheng felt uneasy when Qin Yi stared at him, and couldn't help but stammer.

He had never expected that this embroidered pillow, who was said to have relied on his physical strength to reach the top and had only practiced for half a month, could actually kill the mid-level monster. His original intention was just to take the opportunity to tease the canary.

If you go against your nature and pretend to be a gentleman for a long time, you will become a little bit psychologically abnormal.

The scene he wanted to see was a child being torn to pieces by monsters.

It's just good luck.

Thinking of this, Shen Zheng reached out to grab the soul stone.

Qin Yi flipped his hand and stuffed the soul stone back into the Qiankun bag.

"What do you mean!"

Another disciple suddenly pushed Qin Yi's shoulder:

"If you join our team, you should honestly hand in your Soul Stones!"

"I killed this monster."

"you!"

"Alright, alright."

Shen Zheng raised his hand to interrupt his disciple. He glanced at Qin Yi:

"Follow me. If you fall behind and encounter any danger, I will not be responsible."

After saying that, Shen Zheng walked away.

The remaining disciples glared at Qin Yi and left.

Qin Yi stared at Shen Zheng's back.

Suddenly, a gust of air blew on his hair, brushing across his smooth forehead.

Like a pair of gentle big hands.

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

There was no one around.

Is it an illusion?

Qin Yi shook his head and started chasing after Shen Zheng and his group.

"Let's take a break."

Shen Zheng lifted up his robe, and immediately a disciple saw the opportunity and laid a blanket for him.

After Shen Zheng sat down on the blanket, the disciple arrogantly threw a water bag into Qin Yi's arms.

"Hey, you, go get some water for Brother Shen."

Qin Yi stared at his disciple with a pair of dark eyes.

His eyes were round and black, with more white than black. On ordinary days, they looked bright and pure when there was light. But when he stared at someone, his eyes turned into a bottomless vortex that not even light could escape.

The disciple shuddered for no reason, but when he thought about what he was going to do next, he felt confident again.

Let’s see how long you can be so arrogant?

The disciple thought viciously.

"What are you looking at? There's water over there, why don't you go there quickly?"

The disciple pointed in the direction of the woods.

The deeper we went, the darker the sky became. The shadows of branches on both sides swayed, as if something was passing by.

Qin Yi suddenly tightened his grip on the water bag around his waist, his heart rising to his throat.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of running water ahead.

A ray of sunlight leaked through the dense branches and leaves ahead.

It should be the edge of the woods.

Qin Yi quickened his pace.

Finally, when he broke through the dense shadows of the trees, the scene in front of him suddenly opened up.

Snap——

A piece of mud and rock cracked under my feet, fell for dozens of seconds, and then was submerged in the rushing river.

Qin Yi suddenly took a few steps back.

It's a cliff.

He was tricked by those people!

Qin turned around and ran, but was caught off guard by a pair of blood-red animal eyes.

The monster blinked slowly, and the diameter of one of its eyeballs was longer than Qin Yi's height.

Such a huge monster could easily beat Qin Yi into a pulp with just one palm.

How could there be monsters of this level in the illusion?

Qin Yi took a step back without saying a word.

The huge pupil suddenly shrank.

not good!

Qin Yi jumped with all his might, trying to pass over the giant beast's head, but the giant beast just raised its claws and easily hooked Qin Yi's collar with its claws.

Qin Yi was thrown out violently

The wind whistled in my ears.

Qin Yi knew in his heart that there was no turning back and he would be smashed to pieces when he hit the ground.

Greed, anger, and ignorance.

This is his end.

The expected pain did not come.

The body fell into a warm embrace.

A soft sigh landed on his nose like a feather. Qin Yi heard his own violent heartbeat. After a while, he suddenly reacted and opened his eyes.

“Master!”

Without giving the two of them time to exchange pleasantries, the monster roared and charged towards them.

Lian Yu hugged him and rolled to the side suddenly.

After barely dodging the attack, when the next attack came, Lian Yu suddenly noticed the water bag on Qin Yi's waist.

I saw a red talisman faintly appearing on the water bag.

This is what attracted the behemoth!

"Throw away the kettle!"

A huge beast's paw came down, Lian Yu pushed Qin Yi to the side, and gathered spiritual power to withstand the paw.

The water bag crashed into the surging river.

Lian Yu breathed a sigh of relief. He shouted to Qin Yi, "You go first. Leave this to me—"

"If we have to go, we have to go together!"

Qin Yi suddenly jumped up and stabbed the ice-blue dagger straight into the giant beast's pupil.

"don't want!"

Lian Yu's pupils suddenly shrank.

But it's too late.

The behemoth was completely enraged.

Without an eye, the beast's attacks became disorganized, like a mad ram, constantly butting with the two huge horns on its head.

“Master!”

Qin Yi panicked and realized that he had made a mistake.

After all, he is too young and not familiar with the habits of this kind of monster.

"Now is not the time to apologize—"

Before Lian Yu could finish his words, the next second, the giant beast's horn had already stabbed towards Qin Yi.

“Master!”

Everything happened so fast that Qin Yi only remembered Lian Yu standing in front of him.

Master...

Qin Yi stared blankly down the cliff, his expression as blank as if he had been eaten by a worm.

Below the cliff, the river is still rushing, watching coldly.

The rain continued to fall.

"That guy is probably buried in the river now."

The disciples laughed shrilly.

"Call him crazy!"

“Hey.”

Shen Zheng shook his head, but he couldn't suppress a smug smile on his face.

"Nothing is so absolute."

"Brother Shen is being too conservative. With that spell attracting high-level monsters, even if that guy is lucky enough to kill one, there's still a second one. Can he escape?"

As they spoke, everyone burst into unrestrained laughter.

But the next second, no one laughed anymore.

Shen Zheng's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost.

Outside the illusion, Qin Yi's ranking on the screen soared.

Finally, a few judges who were slacking off were alarmed.

Mingzhu pulled her head out of the book in a daze, and suddenly her pupils trembled, and she slammed the table and stood up.

"Brother, your disciple has gone crazy—"

Junior brother?"

Lian Yu felt his body temperature was draining away.

I don’t know if it’s because of the few times he had sex with Qin Yi, but the poisonous insects in Lian Yu’s body didn’t cause trouble this time. But unfortunately, his blood was almost drained.

Outside the cave, the giant beast's footsteps were clattering, still searching for Lian Yu.

In the cave, Lian Yu struggled to sit up.

He bit a corner of his underwear in his mouth, not only because it was in the way, but also because it forced him to swallow his painful gasps.

The robe was torn into long strips and wrapped around his waist, then pulled tight. Lian Yu suddenly raised his chin and let out a muffled groan like a wild beast.

The beast is still wandering outside the cave, and no one knows when it will follow the smell of blood to find us.

Lian Yu suddenly felt a little lucky.

At least it was him, not Qin Yi, who had to deal with the giant beast.

Suddenly, the roar of a wild beast was heard outside the cave.

Lian Yu suddenly drew his sword from its sheath.

With the long sword blocking in front of him, Lian Yu stared at the cave entrance intently, and only the giant beast could let him go.

Outside the cave, it was quiet.

It's so quiet.

Lian Yu heard the blood whistling past his ears.

Almost immediately realizing something, he rushed out of the cave where he was hiding.

A vast expanse of white, the tender green buds and leaves on the treetops, the moist and soft earth, and the sparrows spreading their wings and about to fly—

Everything was frozen in the glaring pale frost.

In the vast white sky and earth was the huge corpse of a giant beast, like a whale fall.

The boy looked up, his eyelashes frosted.

“…Master.”

The voice was so weak that it sounded like someone was seriously ill.

Lian Yu quickly stepped forward and caught Qin Yi who was falling backwards.

The boy collapsed in his arms, his body as cold as ice.

"Great, I'm not late."

Qin Yi's teeth were chattering.

"Yes, you found me, that's amazing."

Lian Yu hugged the boy tightly in his arms, and his hands began to tremble along with the boy's low body temperature.

"It's amazing, Qin Yi is really amazing."

"certainly."

Qin Yiyang smiled brilliantly:

"Like I said, I'm good at finding you."

Lian Yu laughed, but his eyes were hot:

“So powerful, is Qin Yi a puppy?”

Qin Yi chuckled foolishly.

He suddenly struggled to stand up and put his dry lips to Lian Yu's ear.

Lian Yu almost thought it was an icy kiss.

"Master, do you know why I want to go the same way as Shen Zheng?"

Qin Yi raised the corners of his pale lips and smiled cunningly:

"Because I defeated the number one, I am number one."

"Little lunatic."

Lian Yu couldn't help but curse.

Qin Yi twitched his nose unconvinced, raised his hand and put his arm around Lian Yu's shoulders, rubbing against her like a spoiled child:

"It's so cold."

"Bear with it a little longer."

Lian Yu hugged Qin Yi tighter.

"I'll take you home right away."

It's all because of him that Qin Yi became like this.

In the process of firing him, the Gu fever in Lian Yu's body also unconsciously reacted on Qin Yi.

The extremely cold energy in his body was stimulated, but for Qin Yi, who had only been practicing for a short time, he could not control the excessive extremely cold energy.

Just like now, every time he used the extreme cold air, it would cause great harm to Qin Yi's body.

The closer he gets to Lian Yu, the more thoroughly the extreme cold energy in Qin Yi's body will be stimulated.

so--

The boy in his arms had already fallen asleep. Lian Yu rubbed his cheek with his fingers. His movements were gentle, but his eyes were firm.

——He must leave here quickly.

Leave Qin Yi.
