Chapter 971 What's There to Be Afraid Of?
Slowly waking up, Song Chunxue felt her mind was very clear and her body was full of energy.
This feeling made her immediately get out of bed.
But the next moment, she was startled and her scalp tingled.
A person sat on the ground by the window, with his back to her, like a statue.
If she hadn't seen that elegant and unique hairpin many times, she would have almost screamed out in surprise.
"Master Han?"
She spoke in a low voice. Although she couldn't hear the sounds outside, she had a strong sense of danger, and the presence of danger from all directions made her feel uncomfortable.
"Shhh."
"Understood," Song Chunxue said, sitting down on the ground. In case an arrow flew in from outside, she could at least hide for a while.
But the next moment, fine dust landed on her nose, and she quickly and quietly lay down under the table.
She was confused about her situation and couldn't even tell how long she had slept. She only knew that a little light was getting in from outside, and she couldn't tell whether it was still dark or almost dawn.
She suddenly realized that the reason he taught her to control Wuyou and his rhythm Wuyou in the illusion was because he had long anticipated today's crisis.
Otherwise, based on her understanding of Master Han, even if her life were hanging by a thread, he wouldn't have appeared alone in her room under such circumstances.
The three of them were very sensible, but since the children were younger, they didn't have as many rules.
She also tried her best not to cause them any trouble in this regard.
Having confirmed this, she gripped her short sword and peach branch tightly, thinking that if anything disgusting rushed in later, she would fight it off with all her might.
"Swish, swish~"
"Clatter, clatter~"
Apart from the wall next to the bed, because the back of the bed is against the mountain, various subtle noises came from the roof. Song Chunxue stared wide-eyed and saw a long black shadow crawling around.
Moreover, the shadowy figure had undulating hairy legs on both sides, which reminded her of centipedes or something similar, making her feel disgusted and scared.
No wonder Master Han personally oversaw the situation; if it were anyone else, she would have fainted from fright.
Did she have something on her that caught someone's eye?
This was the most nervous she had ever been; her palms were sweating profusely.
Just then, Master Han moved. Orange-yellow light appeared out of thin air on the four walls and the roof. These were demon-slaying talismans, which, when activated, completely enveloped the room.
The commotion outside grew faster and faster, like peas being splashed in a hot pan, accompanied by the sound of something cracking and terrifying, strange screams.
Song Chunxue gritted her teeth. "Mother, what's that outside?"
How could she possibly provoke such things?
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, something exploded on the roof, and the whole house shook.
It's a pity that such a beautiful villa is mostly built of wood. She loved everything about it, from the carved beams and painted pillars to the carvings on the doors and windows and the corridors outside.
Everything outside is utterly despicable.
Suddenly, Song Chunxue was no longer afraid. She came out from under the table, sat on the ground, regulated her breathing and circulated her energy. She then stuck the newly drawn talismans from her storage ring onto her body and threw a few more onto the doors and windows.
She spent two months learning just this one move, so it wasn't a waste of time.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Suddenly, a loud knocking sound came from outside the door, like the beating of a war drum, deafening, but the door did not move.
It should be striking the restriction set up by Master Han.
"Stay put and don't cause any trouble."
Master Han stood up at the door, his hands forming a mudra, chanting incantations, his speed increasing, and Song Chunxue felt the air in the room becoming thinner and thinner.
Under Song Chunxue's shocked gaze, Master Han slowly raised his arms, and everything in the room floated up, while the shadow outside rose at the same speed.
Immediately, he clapped his hands together and spun his elbows rapidly, producing an indescribable, teeth-grinding sound.
Song Chunxue quickly covered her ears and asked Wuyou, "Wuyou, what's going on? Are we surrounded by demons and monsters?"
[Who cares? Master Han isn't incapable of stopping it. As for you, I shouldn't have chosen you if I'd known you'd hide under the table when trouble came. You're such a coward, a disgrace to this sword immortal.]
[Can't I be a coward, scared, or afraid of dying? Why are you so quiet today? Aren't you going to help?]
Wuyou casually replied, "It's not time yet. If he can't even handle these things, he wouldn't be Han Qingfeng. He wouldn't have the confidence to guarantee your master that he'll take good care of you."
Song Chunxue was astonished. "He's already met his master?"
"More than that, with their level of cultivation, they can contact each other anytime they want. Besides, he saw your master a few times when he went to see some old acquaintances." Wuyou yawned. "Alright, it's my turn to make my appearance."
Before Song Chunxue could ask how she would make her entrance, she saw Master Han holding Wuyou and pointing at the roof while chanting a thunder incantation.
Song Chunxue looked as if she had been struck by lightning. She touched the table and saw that the inside and outside of the house were covered with dense lightning bolts. Anyone who didn't know better would think that she was being tortured by lightning.
My whole body was trembling uncontrollably.
But soon she found that she was no longer shaking, nor did she feel the tingling sensation from the lightning.
She summoned ten spirit swords directly from her storage ring, ready at any moment.
Until suddenly the door exploded with a bang.
"Let's go outside," Master Han said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" She jumped out of the door right after her, thinking to herself, thank goodness, this exquisite and beautiful room is not damaged.
The next moment, she shuddered and suddenly didn't want to go outside, nor did she dare to open her eyes.
Good heavens, there were all sorts of things that roam in damp places everywhere—spider, centipede, scorpion, hairy creatures—many of which she, a person from the Northwest, had never seen before. Just looking at them made her scalp tingle and her stomach feel very uncomfortable.
There were even creatures flapping their wings and flying around, their two large tentacles sending chills down your spine.
"Scared now? You've learned something new, haven't you? These are poisonous creatures that have developed sentience and are being controlled by humans. Quickly cover your mouths."
Song Chunxue immediately covered her mouth and nose with a thick cloth.
"Sizzle~"
A dizzying sensation arose above his head. He saw Master Han holding a sword in one hand and a gleaming black weapon in the other, drawing all the lightning upwards.
With a loud "boom," poisonous insects swarmed towards them from all directions. Song Chunxue pursed her lips, suppressing the urge to scream, and tried her best to get behind Master Han.
"What are you afraid of? It's time to practice your hand speed. These are all good stuff. Chop them up and give them to your apprentice to refine into pills. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it." Master Han's voice was tinged with laughter. "Consider today as if we've come to collect medicinal herbs."
"Hmph, Han Qingfeng, you're still as arrogant as ever!"
At this moment, four figures appeared around them, each wearing a cloak, strange clothes, and with bizarre faces.
“That idiot Chongshan failed to win her heart, and you won’t be able to stop him today.” A man dressed like a dung beetle with disheveled hair stared straight at Song Chunxue. “Hand her over to me, and we might spare your worthless life.”
