Looking at the ruthless glint in his eyes and the undisguised "I'd give up my life for Liu Qingyi" written all over his face, Shen Zhaozhao was momentarily speechless.
Her lips twitched involuntarily, her eyes filled with admiration: "...I really envy you love-obsessed people."
"The moment they open their eyes, they are obsessed with love, crazy about love, and willing to bang their heads against the wall for love. Spirit stones, magic treasures, sect prospects, all are just fleeting clouds. Their main goal is to disregard costs and seek no returns."
"Senior Brother Yan's level of skill is truly beyond our reach."
Yan Qiubai heard the biting sarcasm in her words, glanced at her sideways, twitched the corner of his mouth, and suddenly revealed an undisguised mocking smile.
"Oh."
The man's voice was chilling: "As if you're not one of them."
The weariness on Shen Zhaozhao's face gradually froze, and then she slowly typed a question mark: "?"
"Do I need to explain to you more clearly the person you drove away?"
Yan Qiubai chuckled at her sudden wariness: "Are you in a real hurry right now? Do you wish you could fly to his side immediately, hug his leg, and beg for forgiveness?"
Shen Zhaozhao: "???"
who? !
Who wouldn't want to fly to that lunatic's side?!
The insults used by your Tianyan Sect are truly filthy!
A surge of rage, like water forced out of her body, mixed with extreme disgust for Yan Qiubai's foul mouth, made Shen Zhaozhao explode at the slightest provocation: "Shut up, you dog! [beep beep]!"
"Is your head just filled with [beep beep beep]?!"
"Do you think everyone else is like you, whose mind is only filled with love and romance?!"
Yan Qiubai raised an eyebrow, his handsome face looking particularly irritating.
The mocking smile on his lips deepened, carrying a knowing and insightful quality of someone who had been there.
"Alright, stop pretending."
Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing: "I understand. The more you love someone, the more you have to pretend you don't care, afraid that someone will see through your little thoughts and you'll lose face."
"As for when someone exposes your most secret, the thing you're most afraid to admit..."
Those sharp phoenix eyes, now filled with a mocking insight into the world, were fixed on Shen Zhaozhao's face: "They would frantically make excuses and desperately try to cover it up, just like you."
"It's normal, everything is normal."
Shen Zhaozhao: "???"
Damn it!
Sooner or later she'll dig a hole and bury you all alive, you love-struck fools!
Ignoring Shen Zhaozhao's desperate expression, Yan Qiubai had a deep look on his face that said, "I've been there, I understand you," and even a hint of sigh. He raised his hand and patted Shen Zhaozhao's shoulder twice.
The man spoke earnestly, as if imparting some profound life wisdom: "As someone who's been there, let me give you a piece of advice: don't hold back and refuse to bow your head just because of some unfounded pride."
"If you need to coax her, then do so; if you need to clarify things, then explain them clearly. Don't end up like Qingyi and me..."
Shen Zhaozhao: "???"
no? !
Who wants to appease that lunatic?!
And what did she regret?!
Do you regret not strangling him sooner?!
Besides, isn't the reason you and Senior Sister Liu ended up like this purely because you're mentally ill?!
Shen Zhaozhao felt dizzy and was about to use all her knowledge to "kindly" question the brain structure of this elder of the Law Enforcement Hall when Yan Qiubai seemed to have completed some important mission and casually flicked his sleeves.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You'd better take care of yourself."
Immediately, the man's eyes turned sharp as knives, carrying a murderous aura that said, "I'm going to kill someone": "The mountains are high and the roads are long, we'll meet again."
Before he finished speaking, Yan Qiubai transformed into a dazzling streak of light, heading straight for the Tianyan Sect with murderous intent, leaving Shen Zhaozhao behind, feeling that her soul had been corrupted by this group of love-struck fools.
It's beyond our control, we really can't control it.
The concentration of lunatics in Lingzhou is just too high. If she stays with these love-struck fools any longer, she's afraid she'll start to find Xie Linyuan handsome too.
Shen Zhaozhao took a deep breath, forcibly clearing the broken images of "a resentful husband in his boudoir" and "madness for love" from her mind, and refocused her eyes on the primary secret realm near Liuyunchuan, Luoxingze.
"..."
With her gaze fixed on the entrance to Luoxingze, Shen Zhaozhao's eyes narrowed slightly, a glint of cunning characteristic of ruthless capitalists flashing within them.
As mentioned before, Liuyunchuan is Tianyan Sect's territory. If Yan Qiubai hadn't intervened, she would probably have already been "cleaned out" by those Tianyan Sect disciples.
In Lingzhou, the strong are respected. Although she is currently gaining an advantage on the surface through some means, the price she is paying behind the scenes has already been clearly marked.
Yun Wan'er and Gu Xuanchen are chosen ones by Heaven. Now, the elders of the various peaks of the Tianyan Sect are emerging from seclusion one after another. Although Lingxiao Zhenren was seriously injured, the foundation of a top-tier sect is not to be trifled with.
If you want to fight them, go ahead. How long can you last with just that little bit of cleverness?
Therefore, besides the fact that the Pixiu itself is indeed rare, there was another extremely important reason why she agreed to raise that gold-devouring beast—the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough Pill that the City Lord of Yunqi City gave her for free.
The Lord of Yunqi City also said that there is a 30% chance that the pill can help her break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
What might be considered a life-or-death struggle by others, is seen as a risky gamble by the Pixiu.
Oh.
Just kidding, it's an ancient auspicious beast, with a top-tier aura of luck that brings good fortune in times of trouble and guarantees victory in every gamble!
Let alone 30%, even a slim hope of 0.003% can miraculously come true with the blessing of Pipi!
Thinking of this, Shen Zhaozhao took Xie Linyuan's Star Jade from her bosom. Since this thing was no ordinary object, she figured that the magical artifacts she could find would be useless against it. If she wanted to smash it to get money for Pipi's milk powder, she would have to think of some crooked methods.
All these secret realms in Lingzhou, regardless of size or whether they produce thousand-year-old spiritual herbs or roadside weeds, share a common, core element—the earth vein spiritual pivot that sustains the entire secret realm's operation.
This thing is like an energy source that the Heavenly Dao has placed in the lower realm, and the spiritual energy it contains is so pure and enormous that it is frightening.
The Xuanmo Star Jade is hard, and ordinary methods cannot do anything to it, but what if we force it onto the "Earth Vein Spirit Pivot"?
If you use the core power of the entire secret realm to fight it head-on, no matter how tough it is, can it withstand this close-range attack?
Thinking of this, Shen Zhaozhao didn't delay any longer and plunged into the twisted and rotating entrance light curtain of the Falling Star Marsh Secret Realm.
The light and shadow shifted before my eyes, and a damp air carrying the scent of grass and trees and a faint miasma rushed towards me.
The interior of Falling Star Marsh was dimly lit, with ancient trees reaching for the sky and gnarled vines coiling around it like giant pythons. The ground was covered with a thick layer of decaying leaves, which felt soft and spongy underfoot.
The earth's spiritual core is usually located at the very center of the entire secret realm. However, just as Shen Zhaozhao, based on the differences in the flow of spiritual energy within the secret realm, found this core area—
"Awooo—!! Help!!!"
