Chapter 26
The Fire Rock Dragon, loyal and dedicated, plucked every fruit from the Jade Spirit Tree without leaving a single one. The Jade Spirit Fruit, overflowing with spiritual energy, piled up into a mountain. Ling Shi hung on the tree, wagging his tail in satisfaction.
Eat well and work hard.
Feng Jue put most of the fruits into the storage ring, leaving a small part. She looked at Qiu Shuangshuang, raised her eyes arrogantly, and signaled Qiu Shuangshuang to put the fruits away.
Qiu Shuangshuang bowed gratefully, thinking that although Palace Master Feng was difficult to get along with, he always kept his word. Her worry about being abandoned by Feng Jue halfway was somewhat relieved.
The host is quite nice to Qiu Shuangshuang.
03, carrying the matchstick on his back, circled around Feng Jue while thinking. Feng Jue stared at it impatiently.
What else do you want to say?
03 put his hands behind his back and said, "Our agreement still stands, right?"
Feng Jue had personally promised to find a Taoist companion for the host in this world, but Feng Jue's attitude was a bit tough just now, so 03 confirmed it with Feng Jue.
Feng Jue snorted softly.
That's what counts.
03 circled around Feng Jue again and said, "Host, your behavior is like a young person who resists a blind date. You agree with it, but you don't agree in your heart."
The host in the modern text it had served before was forced to get married, but had to agree to it out of the face of the introducer, and then nothing happened.
Feng Jue's eyelids twitched, thinking that a little thing like you could see that. He flatly denied it, "I'm resisting Qiu Shuangshuang as a person. What did we say before?"
03 raised his big eyes to look at her and said, "Strong."
"I understand. It was my mistake." 03 took the initiative to admit the mistake, turned around, and looked at Qiu Shuangshuang who had to hold up her skirt because her skirt was a little long. The small system in the bubble sighed.
Donor, you really have no fate with her.
Qiu Shuangshuang sneezed and looked at the big sun hanging in the sky in confusion.
The two people and the dragon were walking in the mountains and forests. Although Qiu Shuangshuang was spoiled and cried easily, her cultivation was real and these journeys did not tire her.
They traveled through the forest for several days, but apart from finding some spiritual plants and fruits, they didn't encounter any of the large creatures they had encountered before. Feng Jue thought that perhaps the pressure and intimidation from the spiritual beasts in this area had not yet worn off, so he could only continue to travel deeper into the forest in search of opportunities.
But her ultimate goal is the palace floating in the clouds in the distance.
The Chongshan Secret Realm will be open for six months.
That afternoon, two people and a dragon were resting by the lake. Feng Jue folded his arms and looked into the distance, frowning.
"It's been a month since I left.
"Why does it still feel so far away? Is that palace just an illusion, or is it moving?" Feng Jue asked softly.
Qiu Shuangshuang was looking for beautiful stones to build a house by the lake. Upon hearing this, she looked up at Feng Jue cautiously.
After this period of contact, she was no longer afraid of the Fire Rock Dragon, and she even sat on the Fire Rock Dragon's back with Feng Jue to travel. However, she was still afraid of Feng Jue. Perhaps her life depended on Feng Jue, and in her heart, Feng Jue was not a person she could tolerate, so she usually tried to please Feng Jue.
"Palace Master Feng, do you want to go to Chongshan Immortal Palace?" Qiu Shuangshuang mustered up the courage to ask.
Feng Jue raised an eyebrow, turned to look at Qiu Shuangshuang, and asked, "Chongshan Immortal Palace?"
Qiu Shuangshuang nodded and said, "When my father and mother were talking to the disciples who were coming to the secret realm, I eavesdropped on them. I heard that the Chongshan Secret Realm was once the spatial cave dwelling of the Chongshan Immortal Venerable tens of thousands of years ago. After the Immortal Venerable ascended to heaven, this space spread to the world and became a secret realm that only opens once every hundred years. Logically speaking, a secret realm that is constantly opened like this will only degrade in rank; upgrading is extremely rare."
As she spoke, she puffed up her cheeks and said gloomily, "There's a rare copy of the story of Chongshan Immortal Venerable in Qiushui Pavilion. It says that Chongshan Immortal Palace not only has countless treasures left behind by the Immortal Venerable before he became an immortal, but also the inheritance left by the Immortal Venerable! That's why I wanted to come!"
But after I came in, I almost died.
"The Chongshan Immortal Palace doesn't appear every time. It was last opened a thousand years ago. This time, the secret realm's upgrade is very likely related to the Immortal Palace!"
Qiu Shuangshuang bit her lip as she spoke, looking pitifully at Feng Jue, and pleaded, "Only the disciples of Qiushui Pavilion know about the Immortal Palace and the inheritance. They will definitely go there. If you, Palace Master Feng, want to go to the Immortal Palace, please take me with you!"
Feng Jue nodded in agreement. Since she said she would send Qiu Shuangshuang to the disciples of Qiu Shui Pavilion, she would definitely do it. But after confirming the value of the palace floating in the clouds, Feng Jue was moved, but an ugly face inexplicably flashed through her mind.
"..." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she waved her sleeves to clear her mind like shooing away flies. Later she realized that 03 did not jump out to remind her about competing with Xue Bufan for the opportunity.
But - 03 seems to be a little quiet recently?
Feng Jue turned his head hesitantly and saw 03 nestled on a tree branch, huddled together with the leaves, as if it could turn green by huddling with the leaves.
"What are you doing?" Feng Jue asked in a voice transmission.
03 He blinked his big round eyes and said calmly, "I'm in a daze."
There are no tasks to do, and no way to help the host. Apart from scanning the supplementary map, I can only stare blankly.
Phoenix Secret:
..."
"Do you like to daydream?"
That is the skill it is most proficient in besides carrying out tasks.
03 left its leaf companion and flew to Feng Jue, asking: "Host, is there anything I need you to do? Please tell me."
Feng Jue remained silent, staring at the glittering little thing. After a while, she whispered, "Since then, you seem a little depressed?"
That day?
03 Tilt your head, and the question mark on your head will turn into a golden exclamation mark.
oh!
That day.
03 turned slowly in a circle and said honestly, "The host's reaction that day was a bit strong. I'm reflecting on it."
"I seem to have become the annoying matchmaker in the drama of urging marriage."
"But I am not depressed. I will improve the action plan, integrate the action plan, adjust the action goals, and respond flexibly. Under the premise of the main task, I will thoroughly implement the action plan, take the initiative, and work hard to change the host's fate in the original book and realize the host's happiness!" 03 raised the matchstick and said firmly in a soft and cold voice.
Feng Jue was silent.
Although... most of it was not understood, the paragraph contained more words than 03 had said in the past few days. Feng Jue was well aware of the principle of treating subordinates with both dignity and kindness. She said soothingly, "Okay."
She was also flexible and tried to reject 03 as gently as possible. It seemed that the little creature's previous hosts had been quite gentle with it.
That day was a bit fierce.
Feng Jue reflected on this for three seconds before glancing at Qiu Shuangshuang, who was happily playing with rocks on the ground. A flicker of disdain flashed in her eyes. She was being mean, but who had asked 03 to match her up with this wilful, sobbing girl? She had to let 03 know she had no interest in such a noisy person!
"I have something else to tell you." Feng Jue transmitted the message to it.
03 Floated forward to show that he was all ears.
"My tone was a bit harsh that day, but I must explain to you that unless Xue Bufan—not just him, but also Xue Bufan and Qiu Shuangshuang—blocks my path or commits unforgivable crimes, I will not take action against them."
"Even if Xue Bufan and I are destined to fight to the death someday, he hasn't truly offended me yet. Furthermore, we have the friendship we once shared as elders, so I won't kill him." Feng Jue's tone gradually grew serious. He looked at 03 with his bright eyes and whispered, "I learned from my mother, followed the right path, and lived an upright life. Even though I acted arrogantly, I had a clear conscience!"
Feng Jue said in a serious tone: "This is my way of cultivating immortality, which will never change or disappear." The bright sunlight poured down from the gaps between the branches, casting a layer of brightness on her body. 03 looked at Feng Jue's face. The cinnabar between her eyebrows burned like a flame in the sunlight, burning into her eyes.
03 subconsciously recorded Feng Jue's words, and after coming back to his senses, he looked at the words on the panel. He quietly put the panel away and said, "I understand."
So when Siyi suspected Feng Jue of having a demon in his heart, Feng Jue just smiled and said that a cultivator with a firm mind like her would not easily develop a demon in her heart.
When Feng Jue and Xue Bufan were fighting for the Fire Rock Dragon, and they wanted Xue Mengtao, they spoke directly and openly, and put forward conditions for her to weigh. No matter how arrogant she acted, and no matter what Xue Bufan thought in his heart, it was ultimately in line with what she said about being open and honest.
"I've also planned the host's path to becoming a villain, but it looks like it's going to be destroyed." 03 said.
Feng Jue curled his lips and chuckled, then walked forward slowly, basking in the afternoon sun as if they were all taking a stroll.
"But not really. Perhaps in the eyes of others we are villains. People who dislike you naturally don't think you are good. Besides, what villain would think of himself as a villain? Lingshan, you are too old-fashioned."
Yin Tong Piaopiao wrote and drew on the notebook, admitting his mistake, "Yes, I am too formulaic and programmed. Host, do you know? I am composed of countless programs, so it is understandable that I am programmed."
Feng Jue was stunned.
03 was observing Feng Jue's expression, raised the matchstick and gestured, saying, "This is a joke."
Feng Jue: "Huh?"
Even more confused.
That smile?
The beautiful woman raised her lips: "Haha."
Colder than his usual sneer.
03 said quietly: "Host, your laughter is also a bit formulaic."
"Shut up, I've already given you a lot of face!"
"Then let me tell you another joke. Let me look for it... I don't seem to have downloaded the data about jokes. Sorry." 03 raised the matchstick and said goodbye.
Feng Jue burst out laughing and shook his head helplessly, "How stupid."
There wasn't much disgust in his tone.
03 Template laughs: "Haha!"
It said: "A monk has his own Dao in his heart. If he thinks this way and remains steadfast, even if he slaughters the entire world, as long as it conforms to the Dao in his heart, it is the right path for him."
Feng Jue nodded.
"Then our way of being a leader is to not break the rules..."
As they walked forward, one by one, they chatted. Behind them, Qiu Shuangshuang, who was a little further behind, watched Feng Jue's brisk steps and realized that the Feng Palace Master was in a state of mind.
The mood is good, maybe he is happy to hear the news about Chongshan Fairy Palace.
Qiu Shuangshuang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she was one step closer to leaving the Chongshan Secret Realm alive. She couldn't help but turn around and said to Huoyan Jiao, "Hey, your name is Lingshi, right? Does your master usually stay alone like this?"
Ling Shi turned her head and looked at Qiu Shuangshuang.
"Hey, your cultivation is higher than mine, why can't you speak?" Qiu Shuangshuang asked.
You are really good at talking! Lingshi turned her head back quickly, quickened her pace, and immediately left Qiu Shuangshuang behind.
"Hey! Wait for me! I'm tired of walking. Can you give me a ride? I can pay you with spirit stones! Or do you like something else, like beast pills?" Qiu Shuangshuang shouted.
Ling Shiyou slowed down, raised her eyelids, and turned her head to look at Feng Jue proudly, just like Feng Jue usually does.
How much to give?
Qiu Shuangshuang ran over with a smile and hugged the tip of its tail, saying cheerfully: "I'll give it to you when you go out! Come to Qiushui Pavilion, and I'll give you as much as you want. Just give me a ride!"
Tsk! He's even more deceitful than his previous owner. Why didn't you just wait until you ascend to immortality and fetch the Dragon Immortal's elixir from heaven for him? Ling Shi flicked her tail, deciding she couldn't trust any human besides her master anymore.
Qiu Shuangshuang, thrown away by Lingshi, cried out "Ouch!" and fell into the bushes beside her after stepping on the hem of her skirt. A Foundation Establishment cultivator's skin is as hard as iron and steel, so even falling off a cliff wouldn't kill him. Lingshi didn't care at first, but suddenly she heard Qiu Shuangshuang scream, "Ahhh what is this! So disgusting!"
Feng Jue, who was walking in front, changed his expression and came to the place where the spiritual power was fluctuating in the blink of an eye. He saw that Qiu Shuangshuang's half body was entangled by a strange plant. The plant spit out something like black silt, swallowing Qiu Shuangshuang bit by bit. The Fire Rock Dragon wrapped around her arm and tried hard to pull her out of the "silt".
"Help! I'm going to break apart!" Qiu Shuangshuang was in so much pain that tears were falling down her face. She looked at Feng Jue in fear.
Palace Master, help!
"What a strong spiritual power!" Feng Jue said, and immediately released flames.
Golden and red flames flew towards her. Qiu Shuangshuang closed her eyes and screamed, feeling a burning sensation all around her. Her body relaxed and she fell to the ground.
When the heat subsided, Qiu Shuangshuang opened her eyes in panic, only to see that the mud and the plants had been burned to ashes by the fire, and her clothes were not stained at all. However, the sticky touch still remained on her skin. Qiu Shuangshuang shook her hands in disgust, trying to get rid of the feeling.
03: "Huh?"
Feng Jue, who was checking the surrounding situation and searching for the location of the spiritual power that suddenly disappeared, immediately looked at 03.
"Host
, Qiu Shuangshuang had a ring on her hand." 03 said.
It had the habit of scanning and immediately discovered that Qiu Shuangshuang was different from before.
Feng Jue immediately looked at Qiu Shuangshuang's hand, only to see a black plain ring on her middle finger, being swung back and forth by Qiu Shuangshuang. Noticing Feng Jue's gaze, Qiu Shuangshuang looked at her hand and asked in surprise: "Where did the ring come from?"
So ugly!
She angrily tried to take the ring off, but found it stuck to her knuckles as if glued. Seeing her trying to use her spiritual power to peel the ring off, Feng Jue hadn't even uttered the word "Don't move" when the ring suddenly burst into light.
"ah!!"
The twisting pulling force came, and Qiu Shuangshuang couldn't help but scream.
"Oh no, the cultivation level of the person who made this ring is higher than mine!" Feng Jue said coldly, enduring the risk of breaking his eardrums, holding Qiu Shuangshuang's wrist and injecting golden-red spiritual power.
As soon as the ring touched Feng Jue's spiritual power, the spiritual light stagnated, and suddenly loosened and flew out from Qiu Shuangshuang's fingertips, flying towards Feng Jue like a hungry tiger, and the stagnant spiritual power fluctuated again.
Feng Jue's eyes changed. This ring turned out to be a teleportation talisman!
She raised her hand, and all the spiritual power in her sea of consciousness gathered in her palm, colliding with the flying ring.
"Bang!"
A black and red tornado of flames suddenly rolled up in the forest, sweeping in all directions. The fluctuations in the air became stronger and stronger, and the earth trembled. The ring that was broken by the Feng Jue's attack suddenly grew larger and turned into a black circle, buckling towards the person on the ground.
Feng Jueqiu and the others who were trapped in the circle suddenly disappeared, and even the Fire Rock Dragon was swallowed up, suspended in 03 and frozen, with unprecedented emotions coming over them.
[Warning, distance from host...]
As soon as the dialog box appeared, the panicked bubble 03 followed its master and rushed towards the aftermath of the spiritual power. 03's eyes suddenly changed and he was enveloped in darkness.
"Host?" 03 called softly.
A ball of fire suddenly lit up in the darkness, illuminating Feng Jue's icy face.
The Tong in the bubble immediately breathed a sigh of relief, floating down like a deflated balloon. 03 wiped away the nonexistent sweat. Fortunately, he'd almost had his performance deducted.
Only then did it start scanning.
So 03 discovered that in addition to Feng Jue, Qiu Shuangshuang and Ling Shi, there was another person here.
Feng Jue also discovered it.
Several flames rose around her, illuminating the black stone wall. An old man with a hunched body and an ugly face stood at the edge of the fire with a complicated expression.
Qiu Shuangshuang, who had fallen to the ground and was about to burst into tears, stood up in surprise and shouted to the old man: "Benefactor!"
"Miss Qiu..." Old
A hoarse voice answered, his throat sliding as he swallowed his saliva, his body looking even more hunched, and he whispered, "Palace Master Feng."
"Xue Bufan." Feng Jue sneered, even gritting his teeth.
The name of Linggui should really be given to him. Xue Bufan should be called Xue Shigui! The ghost is lingering!
Upon hearing Xue Bufan's name, the Fire Rock Dragon's eyes widened, and it immediately shrank its body and wrapped itself around Feng Jue's legs, pretending to be Feng Jue's leg pendant.
A group of people with rich expressions - among the dragons, a ball of sparkling, silver light floated to the cluster of golden-red flames in front of Feng Jue, overlapping with the fireball. It deliberately brightened up, allowing the silver light and the golden-red light to intersect and merge, and the light rose and fell.
The cold voice calmly introduced itself again.
And me.
“03.”
