My mother tongue is speechless.
Gingerbread glanced at Fenjue, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed beside him.
This guy really followed us!
They were currently en route to a town under the jurisdiction of Mingyue Palace. There were four people on the spaceship: herself, Liu Zheng, Fen Jue, and Li Dapu, who had come along to join the fun.
An hour ago.
The main hall of the Immortal Jade Peak.
"This disciple will go too." Fen Jue spoke lazily, raising his hand as if he had no bones.
Immortal Lord Qingxue's eyes lit up. "As expected of my most talented disciple, you have a heart that is fearless in the face of trials and tribulations, and actively strives for progress in cultivation. This time, then..."
He sat at the head of the table and chattered away.
Xie Yingnan and Jiang Bingbing huddled together, shaking their heads and imitating Qingxue Xianjun's speech.
The two of them read it aloud word for word.
They gazed at each other deeply.
What a sin!
Everyone present,
Immortal Lord Qingxue has praised them all with the same words.
"Alright, then A-Zheng will lead the team. Xiao-Bing and Xiao-Ye will follow your senior sister's orders. Let Mingyue Palace see the style of the disciples of the Sword Sect's Immortal Jade Peak. Let's go!"
With a generous and impassioned wave of his hand, Qingxue Xianjun lent them the spaceship as well.
When they flew to the mountain gate.
That idiot Li Dapu came charging over.
And so, the trio became a group of four.
After Gingerbread finished reminiscing, Li Dapu stretched his neck to the other side and rubbed his chin in a lewd manner, "Gingerbread, your new junior brother from Immortal Jade Peak is more handsome than a celebrity. I see a halo above his head."
"What halo?"
She followed Li Dapu's gaze.
The boy had long eyelashes, thin, crimson lips, and a perfectly sculpted face. His beauty now lacked the aggressive edge of the adult Fen Jue, but glimpses of his future unparalleled appearance were already visible.
She stared, stunned.
Li Dapu said, seemingly oblivious to everyone else, "Protagonist halo."
"Just look at his aura, his heaven-defying abilities, and his unparalleled looks—he's practically the reincarnation of a dragon-like overlord!"
"......"
Gingerbread's temples twitched repeatedly, and all his unspoken words boiled down to one sentence: "Sir, stop your magic and shut up."
"You're being mean to me again? Fine, I'll go find your senior sister and unleash my charm." Li Dapu snorted and turned to look for Liu Zheng.
Gingerbread clutched its head, its head throbbing with a headache.
She felt a sense of helplessness, like the sect leader Wuya witnessing his master and senior uncle Taixuan arguing.
Li Dapu went to harass the senior sister, giving Jiang Bingbing a brief moment of peace.
She flipped her small hand, and a strange fire ignited in her palm.
A silver ring is being heated in a fire.
suddenly.
A clear, melodious young voice rang out from the side.
"Seventh level of weapon refining?"
He could tell at a glance that Gingerbread was forging a storage ring that only a seventh-level weapon refiner could make.
"Hmm," Gingerbread said a little awkwardly, "I've done everything I promised you."
Burning lips moved slightly.
She seemed about to open her eyes wide, but then her expression softened into a faint smile.
She remembered everything he said when he left.
On the other side of the spaceship, Li Dapu's incessant chatter did not affect Liu Zheng at all.
Apart from Jiang Qingxue, nothing and no one could cause her emotional fluctuations.
After receiving the mission assigned to their group from their sect token, Liu Zheng walked up to Jiang Bingbing and Fen Jue and said, "Junior sister and junior brother, we have mission instructions."
She tossed the token into the air.
Golden characters, written in a flowing, dragon-like style, appeared in the air.
Pingyang County eradicates the skinning monster.
Only eight words.
No other information was provided.
Liu Zheng looked troubled. "Mingyue Palace is too busy to take care of itself. I'm afraid we'll need to split into two groups after we enter the city. Xiaobing and I will go to the Immortal Sect's encampment to gather information, while you and Elder Li will stay in the city to gather information. What do you think?"
Gingerbread breathed a sigh of relief without making a sound.
She felt strange being alone with Fen Jue, but thankfully she was with her senior sister.
Fen Jue keenly noticed Gingerbread's discomfort and slightly raised the corners of her mouth, "It's all up to Senior Sister's arrangements."
After making the arrangements, Liu Zheng sat back down in the corner and continued studying the sword manual.
Gingerbread silently forged the weapon.
Bored out of his mind, Li Dapu picked at his toes and went to the bow of the boat to steer it.
The spacecraft traveled through the sea of clouds and snow-capped mountains.
You can scoop up fluffy white clouds just by reaching out your hand.
Fenjue leaned lazily against the side of the boat, reached out and grabbed, and wisps of white mist spread from his palm.
He yawned casually, then couldn't help but frown.
After being kicked down by the wicked god, not only did his cultivation level revert to the Nascent Soul stage, but he also couldn't concentrate his mental energy.
Could it be that he has been a god for too long?
Did I get tired more often when I was younger?
The spacecraft traveled until mid-afternoon.
Arrived in Pingyang County.
Pingyang County is a relatively prosperous town within the jurisdiction of Mingyue Palace.
The people in the county make a living by growing Lingcha tea.
The group entered the city gate.
Liu Zheng instructed, "We'll split up here. Once we've finished our business, we'll meet at the largest inn."
"Mm." Fen Jue nodded.
"Don't worry, Xiao Zhengzheng, I'll take care of Junior Brother for you." He warmly placed his left hand on Fen Jue's shoulder.
Fen Jue glanced sideways, giving him a faint look.
Holy crap, that's scary!
Li Dapu shrank back and withdrew his arm, hugging it tightly in fear, feeling as if his new junior brother's eyes were daggers.
How could a Nascent Soul cultivator be so frightened by the gaze of a Spirit Transformation cultivator?
He became even more convinced that Fen Jue was the protagonist with the aura of a king.
The four parted ways at the crossroads.
Gingerbread followed obediently beside her senior sister. "Senior sister, I'm a little hungry."
Her cheeks flushed.
"I'll buy you some steamed buns." Liu Zheng patted her junior sister's head. "It's fine if you eat first."
Gingerbread's eyes curved into crescents as she clung to Liu Zheng's arm, "I want a meat bun!"
She pointed to the steaming bun shop by the roadside.
Two people went in.
The owner had just turned off the stove when he announced, "The customers have come at just the right time! The last batch of steamed buns is freshly baked!"
It's only mid-afternoon now.
Liu Zheng asked in confusion, "You close your stall very early every day?"
The shopkeeper looked them up and down, realizing that Jiang Bingbing and her companion weren't locals. "Good heavens! Young ladies, what brings you to Pingyang County at this hour?"
Gingerbread and Liu Zheng exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise at the same time.
I never expected to find something so interesting while buying steamed buns.
Liu Zheng asked politely, "What do you mean by that, boss? I brought my younger sister to Pingyang County for a few days. I heard that the spiritual tea here is good and the camellias are beautiful."
"Why can't we come?"
"well--"
The owner was a plump, fair-skinned woman who deftly wiped the stove.
"The story begins a month ago when Wang Wu, a night watchman, discovered a corpse on Xilou Street."
The woman's eyes showed fear and lingering dread. "The corpse was so horrifying. The skin had been peeled off, leaving only bloody flesh and bones! Oh dear, what a tragedy. The yamen couldn't find the murderer, so they went to ask the immortals stationed in Pingyang County for help."
"When we got to the encampment, there were no immortals left. Only a little boy was left to guard the gate."
“The fairy boy was even more frightened than we were when he heard about this.”
