"You need to improve your strength quickly. It took you so long to cover such a short distance."
In a remote corner, with the help of the darkness, the little witch and Gu Yuan hid in it.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Gu Yuan gasped for breath, then spoke intermittently, "Auntie, you really...really have the nerve to say that? I'm just a mere spiritual master, and not only did you not take me with you, you even mocked me? You're a powerful spiritual emperor, how can I compare with you with my cultivation level?"
Gu Yuan couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Hehehe, I'm just saying this casually, I don't mean anything else."
"Hmph! When I reach the level of Spirit Emperor, I will definitely spank you." Gu Yuan couldn't help but say.
After he finished speaking, Gu Yuan couldn't help but want to slap himself twice. The words were out of his mouth and he couldn't take them back.
To Gu Yuan's surprise, the little witch didn't react at all. She just said calmly, "Then I'll wait for you!"
After saying that, the little witch turned her back to Gu Yuan. Fortunately, it was night, otherwise Gu Yuan would definitely notice. At this moment, the little witch's pretty face turned slightly red.
“Cough cough cough…”
After a few light coughs to break the awkwardness, Gu Yuan asked, "What exactly are we here for today?"
"The main reason we came here today is to explore the way to the Black Ghost Gate." said the little witch.
"Huh? Exploring the way?" Gu Yuan was a little surprised. Why do this?
"That's right. Because in your future, the Black Ghost Gate will be your biggest obstacle."
Gu Yuan frowned, somewhat disapproving of what the little witch said.
"I just killed one of their people. They have chased me twice. Won't they let me go?" Gu Yuan said.
"Humph! You're too soft-hearted! You're really too naive!"
The little witch said calmly, "I've already said that the Black Ghost Gate will be the biggest obstacle to your future growth. Don't think too much about it for now. You just need to know that the Black Ghost Gate is an object you must guard against, because the dangers around you will continue to arise, and those dangers..."
The little witch raised her lips and said, "Cha Cha will come back from the Black Ghost Gate."
Looking at the little witch's expression, Gu Yuan couldn't help swallowing and said, "Why do I feel something is wrong?"
The little witch smiled and said, "Hehe, just remember what I said. Don't think that I will always protect you. If you let your guard down, you may lose your life at any time. I won't help you."
"Um...don't worry, I don't have the habit of putting my life in the hands of others." Gu Yuan said with a smile.
"That's for the best! I was afraid you'd let your guard down because of my presence."
"No, don't worry!" Gu Yuan said.
"Okay, that's best. Come on, follow me."
The little witch looked up at the sky. The moonlight was a little dim tonight, which was conducive to concealing her whereabouts.
"I won't do anything to cover up your breath. Just be careful. I will follow you into the Black Ghost Gate. I want you to find out a route that is at least a quarter the size of the Black Ghost Gate. If you are discovered, then... you will be punished!" The little witch reminded.
"Huh? Punishment? What punishment?" Gu Yuan asked.
"I won't tell you yet. You can try to expose your tracks." The little witch said with a smile.
"Come on, I still want to stay alive. What if you are disloyal and just abandon me?" Gu Yuan rolled his eyes and said.
"You still have some brains."
The little witch smiled and continued, "If you complete the mission, nothing will happen to you. If you fail, it means you have been discovered. Therefore, you will face the pursuit of the Black Ghost Sect, and then... I don't need to tell you the result, right?"
"hiss……"
Gu Yuan took a breath, "So cruel?"
"Without going through hardships, you will never grow. I am training you." The little witch said lightly.
"Your training method is really a bit perverted. This is the Black Ghost Sect, one of the three major sects in Giant Stone City. The sect leader, Hei Yan, is a Spirit King, an eighth-level Spirit King at that. I'm so scared that he'll find me if I'm not careful. Then I'll just die!"
"Don't worry, Heiyan is not in the sect and will not be here for the next few days!"
The little witch tilted her head and looked at Gu Yuan and said.
"How do you know?"
"Why do you care how I know? I've already told you the news. It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
Gu Yuan's mouth twitched. Even if Hei Yan wasn't there, the Black Ghost Sect still had many powerful people...
"Just tell me whether you are going or not. If you don't want to go, I will pick you up and throw you directly into the Black Ghost Gate. The rest depends on your luck." The little witch said lightly.
"Fuck! I'll go, I'll go! Why don't I just go?" Gu Yuan said with a bitter face.
"How about this, I'll lower the difficulty a bit for you, to one seventh. As long as you can remember one seventh of the route, then tonight's character will be completed! After you finish, we'll leave, how about it?" said the little witch.
"One seventh, it will take at least seven days!" Gu Yuan murmured.
"If you think you can hide well, then it's okay to exceed one-seventh. Anyway, it's up to you, and it can't be less than one-seventh. Although the Black Ghost Sect is one of the three major sects, its address is indeed not as big as the other two sects. With your current strength, although it is a bit difficult, as long as you hide your breath and don't reveal your identity, there will be no problem." said the little witch.
Gu Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "If you fail, there will be punishment, but if you succeed, will there be a reward?"
Gu Yuan looked at the little witch expectantly.
The little witch frowned and said, "Isn't the reward your safety? Isn't your life the most important thing to you? This is something of immense value!"
"Forehead……"
Gu Yuan was stunned.
This is simply shameless! Risking your life to explore the Black Ghost Gate's route, if you fail, you will most likely lose your life, but if you succeed, your life will be saved. This condition is a bit overbearing!
"Hmph! All of this is for the sake of training mud. Why are you still talking to me about reason?" The little witch suddenly looked at Gu Yuan and said.
"This kind of thing is so dangerous, at least give me some motivation!"
Gu Yuan sighed and said.
The little witch suddenly walked towards Gu Yuan, her expression becoming charming and delicate again. She said softly, "Then what kind of reward would be appropriate? We can agree to it!"
The soft words made Gu Yuan's scalp and body numb. Gu Yuan looked at the little witch with a wry smile and said, "My dear, I don't want to do this anymore, can you please stop being like this? Just be normal! Is this okay?"
"Tsk! Don't you like me like this?" the little witch asked lightly.
