After finishing her business, Peng Nana caught a glimpse of Tu Longjian and Fang Milu whispering to each other, seemingly discussing her.
Hmph, women from the mortal realm are indeed petty.
Although that person with dual spiritual roots was quite good, he was as naive as a child, and in this dog-eat-dog world of cultivation, he only knew how to rely on his senior brother.
The other one was even worse; he had five spiritual roots, which were as mediocre as weeds, and he also had a delicate and beautiful appearance.
They're all too weak. Women like that only know how to depend on men for survival. I wonder how they'll drag us down when we're besieging the Blood Hand Purple Iron Lizard.
She frowned deeply, and condescended to speak to them:
"You two, hide later."
Fang Milu's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she angrily said:
"What do you mean!"
“It means exactly what it says: those who are capable should step up, and those who aren’t should stay away,” Poonana said, raising an eyebrow.
When Gan Xiuming saw that the palace was on fire, he quickly came out to smooth things over.
He spoke soothingly and explained softly:
"Nana didn't mean anything by it, but Lu'er and Chunxiang, you're not good at fighting, so you should hide in advance to avoid getting hurt. I'll come find you after this is over."
Tu Longjian said in a resentful tone from the side:
“Milu, let’s listen to Ganlang. It’s our fault; we shouldn’t have caused trouble for everyone.”
Every word is precious, like pearls full of hope shattering on the ground, bursting forth with a poignant sense of loss.
The aroma of tea filled the air, and Gan Xiuming felt a tightness in his throat, a sense of guilt rising within him.
Gan Xiuming seemed to just remember something and asked with concern:
"Chunxiang, do you have enough points?"
Tu Longjian clenched his sleeves, his face showing shame, and lowered his head, saying, "Not quite... um... 100%."
As if struck by a sudden realization, she raised her pale eyes, her face filled with sorrow, and said to Poonana in a trembling voice:
"Chunxiang had no intention of gaining points; she simply loved Xiuming and wanted to be by his side at all times."
Tu Longjian lowered his eyes, seemingly to hide the loneliness in them, but in reality, he was hiding a smile.
After killing the Foundation Establishment Realm Snow Python, her contribution points had reached 199.
Well, it's true that it's less than 200 points. It's just that I'm number one on the list of freshmen, nothing to mention.
Seeing Gan Xiuming's softened expression, Fang Milu's eyes lit up as if she had seized an opportunity. She was about to smugly put her hands on her hips and mock Peng Nana.
Tu Longjian quickly pinched her from behind and whispered, "Shut up, don't ruin things."
Fang Milu quickly pursed her lips and mimicked a pout as she looked at Gan Xiuming.
Seeing this, Gan Xiuming's heart softened. He recalled Chunxiang's past gentleness and Fang Milu's former charming cuteness, and he couldn't bear to see them eliminated. So he said:
"It's alright, I'll protect them. You don't need to worry about them stealing points; I'll cover everything."
Peng Nana looked rather displeased, gave a cold snort, and left.
"I didn't mean that. I just thought they were too weak and might get eaten by monsters. Since you don't appreciate it, then you better keep an eye on them and don't let them interfere with my points!"
Gan Xiuming watched her departing figure helplessly, feeling a bit of a headache.
Fang Milu excitedly pulled Tu Longjian away from Gan Xiuming and gave him a thumbs-up in praise.
"Your trick really worked!"
"I usually find your demeanor quite unpleasant, but I never expected you to use this tactic on someone else so effectively!"
Tu Longjian patted Fang Milu's head mercilessly, grinning maliciously.
"Don't follow my example. Being a green tea bitch is no good. You should clear your love-struck head and see someone's true colors as soon as possible."
Fang Milu winced in pain, clutching her head, and gazing at Tu Longjian's graceful figure, muttering to herself:
"What do 'green tea' and 'love-obsessed' mean?"
The autumn wind is bleak, and the maple forests are ablaze with color.
Tu Longjian leaned quietly against a maple tree, sorting out his thoughts.
Based on my observation, Peng Nana is an arrogant person who admires strength. She appreciates Gan Xiuming's underlying logic, probably because he is powerful, exceptionally talented, and surrounded by countless genius halos.
The next step is to bring Gan Xiuming down from his pedestal and strip him of his aura as a chosen one.
In addition, the progress of the walkthrough has reached 40%, and the kitchen has been unlocked.
[Ding... Fortune Forecast Reminder]
Tu Longjian closed his eyes, immersing himself in the premonition of what was to come.
They attacked the Bloodhand Purple Iron Lizard, and Gan Xiuming obtained the treasure, the Divine Dream Gale Halberd, but this caused a spatial fluctuation, and the group stepped into the perilous Bitter Summer Realm.
Someone accidentally stepped on a formation, and everyone was instantly trapped in an illusion, facing a near-death experience.
Finally, Gan Xiuming wielded the newly acquired Divine Dream Gale Halberd, fought his way through the illusion, rescued everyone, gained a group of followers, and finally won Peng Nana's heart.
The visionary premonition has ended.
The beautiful woman leaned against a maple tree as vibrant as the autumn sun, and closed her eyes for a short nap.
Maple leaves twirl and fall through the air, the autumn breeze gently caressing their slender waists, creating a picture of serene beauty in autumn.
Beneath the maple tree, her beautiful eyes suddenly opened, their sharp light like a sword piercing through the seemingly harmonious and tranquil scene, the gentle sunlight tinged with a chill.
Tu Longjian activated the ice and snow elements within her body. Under the control of the Snow Essence, all the remaining ice and snow fragments within a thousand miles were under her control. At this moment, she was the ruler of ice and snow.
Soon, she sensed an unusual place where ice and snow elements were floating, which was where Shi Zixue was hiding.
While everyone was still resting, Tu Longjian used the power of ice and snow to quickly reach Shi Zixue's side.
Shi Zixue was seen carrying her skis in the golden rice paddy...
He swiftly harvested the spirit rice with a sickle made of ice and snow, a satisfied smile on his face.
Shi Zixue felt something, looked up and saw Tu Longjian, and scratched her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"There is a lot of spirit rice here, which can be used to cook."
Tu Longjian was greatly shocked. "My genius, instead of grinding for points, you're here harvesting rice?"
"You can earn points."
Shi Zixue revealed her nameplate, which displayed rapidly floating text:
[Harvested Spirit Rice, +0.001]
[Harvested Spirit Rice, +0.001]
[Harvested Spirit Rice, +0.001]
[Harvesting of spirit rice has reached its limit, 1 point]
"Oh, it's full." She said regretfully, but her eyes still looked at Lingmi happily, and she suspiciously swallowed.
What could they have gone through to starve their child like this?
Tu Longjian quickly found a plate of roast chicken in the refrigerator of the modern kitchen, and pulled it out from behind him as if by magic, handing it over with pity in his eyes.
"Here, I just hunted a pheasant, it's already roasted, you can have this."
Shi Zixue's eyes lit up as she devoured the food.
"Come find me if you ever need anything to eat," Tu Longjian sighed, then said mysteriously.
"I have a good idea."
Shi Zixue stopped, holding a chicken leg, looking puzzled.
"Make me number one on the freshman list?"
"You are far more powerful, so why are you helping me?"
Tu Longjian said with a worried look, "That's a long story. You've probably noticed that my personality is different in private than it is on the surface, right?"
