Since last night.
Gingerbread realized that something seemed to be quietly growing in her heart towards Burning Blade.
Thinking about it too much makes me feel upset.
Gingerbread, who has always believed in living for the moment, quickly decided not to think about these things anymore.
The next five days.
Every day, he follows Ai and Ali around, running wild.
They were either climbing trees to steal snake eggs or wading into the water to catch golden toads, having so much fun that they forgot all about home. They became very familiar with every disciple in the Southern Frontier, and Fen Jue couldn't find them at all.
Every day, Fenjue would be summoned by the Witch King to take a medicinal bath.
The two only see each other at night when they go to sleep.
Perhaps he was tired from playing all day, Gingerbread greeted him, lay down, and soon began to snore.
The day the Myriad Gu Cave was opened.
The two got up very early and went to the Witch King's Palace, where they were personally led by the Witch Clan to the Ten Thousand Gu Cave.
What she found novel was that on the way to the Ten Thousand Gu Cave, they rode the giant python that belonged to the Witch Emperor.
As soon as Gingerbread stepped onto the python's head, a chilling, piercing cold shot straight to its head.
Walk a distance.
After she was no longer afraid, she touched the python scales beneath her; they felt cool and comfortable.
The python crawls at an extremely fast speed.
Before long, they arrived at a dense forest.
The witch led them into the dense forest and stopped between two giant trees.
Holding a staff, he muttered incantations.
The giant tree moved slowly.
There's a whole new world ahead.
"The Ten Thousand Gu Cave is inside. Follow me."
"Uh-huh."
Gingerbread and Burning Blade followed behind; the exotic flowers and plants inside were even more diverse than those in the Southern Border Imperial City.
Butterflies flutter among the flowers.
It's not like the terrifying Ten Thousand Gu Cave, but more like a fairyland of spiritual valleys.
"arrive."
We stopped on a lush green lawn.
He recited the incantation once.
The dark hole gradually appeared on the lawn.
Gingerbread craned its neck to peek inside, and was horrified. "My trypophobia is acting up!"
The cave was teeming with Gu worms.
Cold, venomous snakes, scorpions, centipedes, and reptiles she had never seen before.
The awkwardness of the past few days has vanished.
Gingerbread looked at Fen Jue with heartache and asked, "Junior brother, can you handle it?"
Fen Jue didn't care; he had seen all sorts of terrible scenes after cultivating for a thousand years.
Fearing that Gingerbread would worry, she said in a relaxed tone, "Senior sister, it's alright. I'm so capable, it's a piece of cake."
"you--"
She pursed her lips, unable to utter the rest of her words.
Qiu Wu urged, "Xiao Ye, jump in and hold out for forty-nine hours."
Gingerbread took out the Immortal Scale Armor.
"If you can't bear the loud shouting, I refuse to believe that there is only one way to cure the Blood Silkworm Gu. Even if you search to the ends of the earth, your senior sister can find other methods for you."
"Okay." Fen Jue put on his Immortal Scale Armor. "Don't worry."
Just as he was about to jump in.
"Wait!" Gingerbread grabbed Fenjue's arm. "Does the Witch King have a magic weapon to protect his head? What if he disfigures my junior brother's handsome face?"
The Witch: "....."
Fen Jue chuckled very softly.
Qiu Wu was fleeced like a sheep by Gingerbread, who took away a Heaven-rank magic weapon.
This thing can keep the worms away from the head.
"Girl, is this alright now?" Qiu Wu said helplessly, stroking his long beard.
"Okay, okay." Gingerbread nodded.
When Fenjue turned around to jump.
"Wait, wait! I...I......"
His arm was tightly gripped by the girl behind him.
Fen Jue turned back to look into her eyes. Just then, a breeze picked up, and her soft hair was blown past her ears.
"What's wrong?"
He spoke casually, as if not particularly concerned, and raised his hand seemingly unintentionally, his slender fingers brushing against her soft, black hair. Fen Jue paused, narrowed his eyes slightly, and tucked a few stray strands of hair behind her ear.
This action seems simple.
His countless preparations seemed to take an incredibly long time.
His right hand, which he had just withdrawn, suddenly felt hot at the fingertips. He smiled with a satisfied yet restrained expression.
"Senior Sister?"
Gingerbread didn't notice the boy's actions. She let go of his hand, took a breath, and said, "It's okay. If you're in pain, just chat with me. I'll wait for you at the cave entrance."
"Oh?" Fen Jue hummed softly, secretly raising the corners of his mouth.
"Senior sister, you should go back."
The witch beside him said, "Don't worry, you won't die. There are plenty of cultivators who have experienced situations worse than death. Little Bing, weren't you also covered in wounds after experiencing the Great Tribulation of Lightning?"
The unspoken ambiguity was interrupted by the old man's words.
Fen Jue nodded in agreement.
He turned around and nimbly jumped into the cave.
As Gingerbread bent down, he saw the moment he went down, a venomous snake flicked its tongue and coiled around Burning Extinction's wrist and ankle.
She could even see clearly that the venomous snake was greedily sucking his blood.
It was clearly so painful.
He would look up and smile at her as if to comfort her.
Gingerbread shrank back, no longer looking into the cave, not wanting to add any burden to Burning Extinction.
"Little Bing, aren't you coming back with me?" Qiu Wu asked.
"No, thank you." Gingerbread shook her head, glanced at the cave entrance behind her, and said, "I'll wait here for my junior brother to come out."
"Alright, I'll come back when my time is up."
"Okay, please excuse me, Lord Witch King."
The witch rode the giant python and quickly disappeared from the spot.
Gingerbread took out a blanket from its storage bag, spread it on the lawn, tidied it up a bit, and then sat cross-legged on it, closing its eyes to meditate.
The weather here is sunny and pleasant, with the fragrance of flowers filling the air.
Meanwhile, just a few steps away from her, Fenjue was being devoured by countless venomous insects.
Gingerbread clutched the ointment tightly in her hand.
As soon as my junior brother came out, I helped him apply the medicine.
