Chapter 61 061 The Secret Realm Has Arrived
Seeing this, Song Chi went to the main hall and drank a cup of tea with his master. Then, the blue robe fluttered gently in the night breeze, a sweet fragrance wafted from behind, and then the beaded curtain moved.
A strikingly handsome face appeared before the two under the lamplight.
Indeed, seeing a beautiful woman under the cover of night, with the lamplight casting a hazy glow, is even more enchanting.
Song Chi immediately poured a cup of tea for him and asked with a smile, "Senior Brother, are you feeling better?"
"I'm fine," Mo Shubai replied in a pure and elegant voice.
Master, however, gave a cold snort and waved his hand. "After you've had your tea, continue to nurture and consolidate your cultivation. You can't afford to relax now."
Mo Shubai responded with a smile, and then soon went to the training room.
Seeing him leave, Song Chi couldn't help but find it amusing. His senior brother's vanity was truly ingrained. He had only just bathed, yet he had meticulously tied his hair back with a ribbon. His clothes were perfectly wrinkle-free, and even the sachet and jade pendant at his waist were neatly fastened.
If she had gone through such a terrifying lightning tribulation, she wouldn't care about her image at all.
So, is this a kind of "the more you want to wear the crown, the heavier the burden" situation?
Venerable Xueqiao was speechless. He felt that Shu Bai's vain habit wasn't so serious a few years ago. At least when he was a Golden Core cultivator, when he was struck by lightning and coughed up blood, he simply wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and immediately sat up to swallow a healing pill.
It hasn't reached the point where it's so appalling that people are afraid to see his miserable state and he has to use spiritual mist to cover it up.
For some inexplicable reason, he felt that Shu Bai probably cared a lot about someone, and that someone was currently grinning with a smirk that seemed to say, "I see through everything, Senior Brother is indeed extremely vain."
Venerable Xueqiao was truly speechless and wanted to facepalm. He had originally thought that these two disciples were heartless and completely devoid of emotion. But now, looking at them, it seemed that Shu Bai's heart could still be somewhat melted by the ice and snow.
On Song Chi's side, it's likely that there's more than just ice and snow inside; there's probably no heartbeat at all...
When this brat was protecting her senior brother, she did show some anxiety and fear, but she was nothing like the others.
The Cui family member turned back several times, tears welling in her eyes. Many of the female disciples who were also at the same Golden Core stage also had tears in their eyes, filled with worry and sorrow, wishing they could take her place.
Song Chi licked his lips and said to him.
“Master, sometimes it’s okay to have slightly lower aptitude; at least the tribulation lightning isn’t this terrifying. Senior Brother’s tribulation lightning… is just too frightening!”
Look, she's still thankful that her aptitude was too low and the lightning tribulation was too weak, instead of being worried or sad.
Furthermore, this girl is rather dim-witted! He, with his Nascent Soul cultivation, could tell whether You Qin's house was damaged or not with a single thought.
You Qin knew to let this girl rest at Yunhai Songtang so that Shu Bai could relax and sweetly wait for the time being to consolidate his cultivation before seeing his junior sister for the first time.
Good heavens, she's come to the main hall for tea. She probably just wants to see just how much her senior brother loves beauty; he's laughing gleefully over there right now.
This has no heart!
Venerable Xueqiao cursed inwardly. But then, realizing the two were ultimately destined to be apart, he sighed again. It was better that they had no feelings for each other; they couldn't be together anyway. It would save them from the torment of unrequited love, and if they failed to overcome their emotional tribulations, they might suffer a terrible demonic possession.
The feelings that Shu Bai has for her are still shallow, but they will soon be disturbed by the opportunity of her destined person, and she will fall in love with the Cui family instead.
At least Song Chi won't have to suffer the pain of this relationship, which is good.
The next day, Song Chi sped up his progress. He went to Mo Feiyun's place to cultivate early in the morning and stayed until nightfall before returning.
There was no other way; the timeline in the book was based on Mo Shubai's Nascent Soul cultivation. In just six months, the island covered in peach blossoms would be born. This secret realm was thus named the Peach Blossom Island Secret Realm.
And it's very likely it will happen even earlier. She has no choice but to work hard; if she doesn't master the technique of teleportation, how can she track Hua Shalan, who moves with ghostly speed?
But when she returned that day, her master seemed to give her a speechless glance upwards. Perhaps he felt it wasn't good for her to keep bothering Mo Feiyun.
The Master has always disapproved of these romantic relationships between men and women.
But she had no choice. If she could just lie down, she would lie there in the clouds and pine trees until the end of time.
She ignored him and spent the next three months practicing diligently alongside Mo Feiyun. Through such arduous training, she mastered her grandmaster's Flowing Cloud Steps. Now, to catch up with any of Mo Feiyun's sword techniques, she didn't need to pay much attention to his movements; she would instantly appear within a ten-foot radius behind him.
Therefore, when he said goodbye that day, Song Chi jokingly laughed.
"Senior Brother Mo, our teamwork is so seamless, we're practically invincible. If any fool falls into our hands, they'll be in for a world of trouble!"
Mo Feiyun simply smiled faintly at the sunset, her moist lips revealing her white teeth, and even the cold light in her eyes seemed to melt away with the sunset.
"You're not coming tomorrow, are you?" he suddenly asked.
Song Chi will indeed stop seeking him out for cultivation tomorrow, since he has achieved his goal.
Therefore, she smiled and nodded. "Thank you so much, Senior Brother Mo, for taking the time to accompany me in my cultivation these past few days!"
"I also cultivated along with them," Mo Feiyun replied with a faint smile.
On Song Chi's return journey, Mo Feiyun accompanied him the entire way. He said he wanted to see the beautiful sunset along the way, but Song Chi could indeed sense a hint of lingering affection in his eyes. It wasn't without reason that the original owner liked him; the tenderness beneath Mo Feiyun's icy exterior, deeper than the sea, was truly moving.
But this young man will soon encounter the Enchanting Flowers in the Peach Blossom Island Secret Realm, and be besieged by various perilous situations. Finally, he and Cui Xue Ruo, having endured countless hardships, find themselves in a sea of Enchanting Flowers. Although they do nothing, merely lying weakly face to face, exhausted from their injuries, the faint breaths brushing against their cheeks fill both of them with an indescribable, tender emotion. This is a direct quote from the book.
That book still lingers in her mind to this day.
In short, the original owner also witnessed the two supporting each other as they left the Enchanted Flower Sea. She was shocked at the time by the tenderness Mo Feiyun had never shown her before, which was now being displayed towards another woman. This caused her immense heartbreak.
Then… damn it, Song Chi saw in the book that the original owner and Su Yu would meet again, fall into the Bewitching Spring, and before that, she had also been affected by the Bewitching Flower Mist. With the double buff combined, the two embraced and something uncontrollable happened. The original owner later realized that the person was not the Mo Feiyun she had imagined and cried sadly in silence. Su Yu felt sorry for her, but was also helpless.
Ultimately, both of them had no choice but to comply.
Song Chi had been preoccupied with those missions and had almost forgotten about this. So he slowed down and watched the Peach Blossom Island scene again.
Then she realized that if she had followed Hua Shalan as soon as she entered the secret realm, she should have been able to avoid this melodramatic situation, according to the timeline.
She breathed a huge sigh of relief. She never dared to encounter something like that!
And so they lingered, until it was almost dark before they finally reached the edge of Yunhai Songshan. Mo Fei, his cloud-patterned robes fluttering, remained beside her.
Moreover, the eyes that looked over were even more tender and affectionate.
Song Chi: "..." She had just slowed down because she was flipping through a book; she really wasn't deliberately strolling with him in the mountains because she was reluctant to leave.
"That secret island realm should be emerging soon. Junior Sister Chi'er, are you going?" Mo Feiyun asked, quickly turning his gaze to the distant blue-green mountains when she looked at him.
"I'll probably go," Song Chi mumbled in reply, then shook his hand and rushed into the barrier.
She had just seen her master and senior brother taking a walk by Mirror Lake. When they saw her return, they both looked over and their gazes quickly shifted to Mo Feiyun.
The master immediately twitched his lips, probably speechless.
Song Chi had no idea what his master was thinking all day long, but he always felt that his master was a bit of a gossip.
Song Chi flew to the edge of Mingjing Lake, where his master was indeed discussing the emergence of the island's secret realm.
She overheard a bit of what her master said, and according to him, this secret realm would surely emerge within three months. She even exclaimed that the golden age of ascension had indeed arrived.
Even before this secret realm was fully revealed, it was already filled with celestial light, auspicious clouds, and dancing cranes, with a surge of peaceful and harmonious energy, as if celebrating the imminent arrival of a prosperous and peaceful era.
But in reality, that secret realm is extremely dangerous.
"You silly girl, are you going to that secret realm again?" Master suddenly asked.
Song Chi immediately puffed out his chest. "This disciple is going to obtain a secret treasure and opportunity to improve my cultivation, so as to bring glory to my master!"
As soon as he said this, his master chased after him and slapped him three times with a stick.
"What glory or honor do I need you to bring me, you brat!"
Seeing the white-robed figure being chased by his master, crying out in pain and covering his head to hide, Mo Shubai couldn't help but shake his head and smile slightly.
Ever since Master took Song Chi as his disciple, his spirit and demeanor have indeed changed. He used to be such a dignified and otherworldly person, but now he has become an ordinary teacher, chasing after his 'good-for-nothing' disciple every day, bowing deeply in pain and even beating him up.
But in reality, he also understood that Song Chi was simply trying to amuse his master. He understood Song Chi's filial piety towards his master, and his master naturally understood it as well.
As for that secret island realm, news has already arrived. This time, only Golden Core disciples are allowed to enter; his current Nascent Soul cultivation level means it's irrelevant to him.
The secret realm looked peaceful; it shouldn't be as dangerous as the previous two times. It seems Song Chi's trip this time shouldn't be too dangerous.
Song Chi was chased and beaten a few times by her master, and was drifting to the center of the lake. Suddenly she stopped abruptly. Her master and Mo Shubai sensed her even faster, and the two of them had already flown over the branches of the snow plum forest, looking towards the southeast.
But I felt a mysterious aura approaching from afar, gently blowing across the ground like the wind.
Wherever it went, tender grass sprouted and flowers bloomed instantly.
Suddenly, a dazzling glow appeared in the eastern sky amidst the night. After a burst of golden-red light, the glow transformed into an incredibly beautiful dusty pink, spreading gently across a third of the sky from the east.
At the same time, countless pink petals flew in from afar, gracefully swirling in the air.
Song Chi raised her hand to catch it, and it turned out to be a pink peach blossom. This peach blossom was formed from spiritual energy, and it quickly disappeared in her hand.
The dreamlike scenery made the children shout with joy, "How beautiful!"
"This secret realm must be very peaceful; surely some divine treasures will be born within it," a child said dreamily, with a hint of regret in his voice. Perhaps he felt he was destined to miss out on the secret realm and its great benefits.
But Song Chi wanted to say that this was just a facade. It was a trap; the secret realm was extremely dangerous.
At this moment, You Qin also flew to the lakeside, and Song Chi jumped with her to his master's side.
But as they approached, You Qin suddenly flicked her sleeve. She was already at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Song Chi was caught off guard and was sent flying by her spiritual power, landing next to Mo Shubai.
Youqin landed safely on her master's right side.
Song Chi couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't realized that Senior Sister You Qin was so eager to win favor.
Moreover, You Qin was quite lively today. She quickly swept a large bunch of peach blossoms with her sleeve and suddenly threw them at Song Chi.
Unfortunately, the explosion occurred right in front of her and Mo Shubai, instantly surrounding them with pink peach blossoms.
Song Chi raised an eyebrow and secretly grabbed a handful of peach blossoms to throw. Unfortunately, You Qin noticed and secretly blocked it with her spiritual power.
The peach blossom gift she tossed at him landed squarely on Mo Shubai's face.
He slightly raised his sleeve to block them, but not completely, letting the peach blossoms fly past his cheeks and hair, disappearing behind him.
It was just this one gesture, yet the beautiful woman blushed slightly.
Her rosy cheeks, for that brief moment, were so beautiful that they seemed to reflect the blush of peach blossoms, making Song Chi's heart flutter. He couldn't help but take another look.
Over there, Venerable Xueqiao watched all this, his face contorting in disbelief. He couldn't bring himself to give You Qin a stern look; this second disciple wasn't as stoic as Song Chi, and was easily embarrassed. If he were even slightly harsher, she probably wouldn't dare to misbehave again. That wouldn't be ideal.
However, Youqin saw through Shubai's thoughts and guessed that she was thinking of pairing the two up.
But has this girl ever considered that this couple is doomed to never work out?
Whether it was her grandmaster or Immortal Lord Liuyue, both immortals had ordained this predestined relationship. Since Shu Bai was already in this mortal world, how could she possibly resist the entanglements of fate?
But it's clear that Song Chi is all lust, while that girl has no heart at all.
After her senior brother experienced the terrifying tribulation of lightning, look at her—the very next day she went to find that kid from the Mo family and stayed there all day. She completely forgot he even had a senior brother. Moreover, when Shu Bai came out of the training room that evening, she glanced at the East Courtyard a few times. Of course, she didn't see anyone there.
However, Shu Bai was quite patient, and for the past three months, he hadn't shown the slightest sign of disappointment.
