July's heartfelt words were deafening, and an eerie silence spread among Lou Xuanzhi, Xie Ji'an, and the others.
Lou Xuanzhi's eyes were deep: I thought the little guy had been inside for so long, he must have gotten some amazing treasure, but it turns out it was all for nothing.
Xie Ji'an frowned and pondered: If there were no treasures at all, then what exactly did Junior Sister go through inside for so long?
Song Yanzhuo touched the newly acquired cultivation technique and silently made up his mind: The junior sister is so pitiful. She spent so much time and got nothing. He wondered if the new cultivation technique he acquired was suitable for her.
Le Luoxi hugged Qiyue even tighter. Poor little junior sister, she has nothing…
Shangguan Fu stroked his chin thoughtfully. Perhaps it was because his junior sister's talent was too amazing that she hadn't found a suitable cultivation technique to inherit.
Zhuo Ziyu opened her eyes wide, her eyes filled with heartache and relief. Her junior sister had been inside for seven days, and it must have been fraught with danger. Although there were no cultivation techniques or anything like that, it was already a miracle that she was alive.
Gu Xingchuan and Yun Huai were skeptical. Why couldn't they believe it? Their junior sister, who had the best and highest talent, actually had nothing?
Perhaps to verify what the two said, Qiyue's self-comforting words left everyone utterly bewildered.
Thank goodness I found this little thing, otherwise I would have gone back again today no matter what!
Qiyue patted the dog, who was lying on her shoulder and seemed completely oblivious to her presence, and a look of relief appeared on her face.
Completely oblivious to the stunned expressions on the faces of his cheap master and fellow disciples.
As expected, they were still clowns.
However, they hadn't even noticed that little thing...
Looking warily at the dog on Qiyue's shoulder, Lou Xuanzhi and the others asked in unison.
"Little one, what is that?"
"Junior Sister, what's that?"
The simultaneous voices startled the dog, and before it could react, it felt the cold gaze of seven or eight pairs of eyes.
Their gaze held a strong warning, as if telling it that if it dared to do anything to harm Qiyue, they would make it regret ever being born.
The dog hugged itself tightly out of fear.
Humans are really scary. Why can these humans see it?
In contrast to Quan Yin's fear and Lou Xuanzhi's warnings, Jin Shang and the others were completely bewildered.
What? What is that? Why can't they see anything? Is there really something there?
They expressed their doubts.
Qiyue gently touched its head with her finger and gave her cheap master and fellow disciples a helpless smile: "Master, please don't scare it. If you frighten it, where am I going to find another one?"
"Ahem." Lou Xuanzhi coughed awkwardly, withdrew his gaze, and resumed his usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor.
"How could your teacher be so bored as to scare such a little thing?"
Qi Yue smiled without saying a word, while Xie Ji'an and the others chimed in, saying that they wouldn't hurt or scare the dog.
But their eyes betrayed them.
Helpless, Qiyue told the others about the origin of the dog's essence in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The group was then relieved.
Watching Qiyue and the others make their moves, Ruan Siyin felt that they were hiding something from her. She wanted to ask, but she didn't know what identity to use.
Noticing the gaze behind her, Qiyue gave Quanyin a look, and it understood what she meant, but shook its head.
"No! I don't want a woman's body! I want a man's body!"
As it spoke, its face turned red again.
July understood instantly.
[Little brat, he knows how to enjoy life.]
With that lewd look in his eyes, his blushing face, and Qi Yue's words, Lou Xuanzhi and the others' fists hardened even more.
Hmm~ Something's not right with this little thing~
Ruan Siyin had no idea that she had just walked through the gates of hell; she only felt a sudden chill run down her spine for a moment.
I shivered.
Having achieved her purpose, July decided not to linger any longer.
There was only one way back. When they entered the Forbidden Forest again, everyone except Ruan Siyin was no longer in the same mood as before.
The corpses of Hengyang Sect disciples could still be vaguely seen on the road. The teeth marks on the corpses shocked everyone. They were not left by anything else, but by human teeth.
Ruan Siyin subconsciously tugged at Song Yanzhuo's sleeve and hid behind him. Song Yanzhuo frowned slightly and quietly pulled his clothes back.
His demeanor and expression clearly showed that he didn't want anything to do with Ruan Siyin.
A flicker of disappointment crossed Ruan Siyin's eyes, and a pang of pain shot through her heart. She didn't understand; he had clearly been moved by her before, so why was he acting this way now...?
What exactly happened inside?
She attributed the reason for Song Yanzhuo's change to what happened within the great formation.
Little did he know that Song Yanzhuo had once again harbored murderous intent, but thinking of his junior sister's plan, he suppressed his bloodthirsty impulse.
After leaving the Forbidden Forest, Qiyue gave Ruan Siyin a token containing a small array that Qiyue had carved inside. This array could be used to teleport small items, making it easier for Ruan Siyin to pursue Song Yanzhuo.
Finally, she even forced Ruan Siyin to drink a mouthful of toxic chicken soup.
“I can tell that my second senior brother doesn’t dislike you. He even likes you without realizing it himself. He’s just too reserved and not good at expressing himself. Really, I’ve never seen him protect a woman like this before.”
"Really?" Ruan Siyin's eyes lit up, and she glanced at Song Yanzhuo with a hint of shyness. Song Yanzhuo felt a chill and turned away.
