Gu Qingqiu felt somewhat embarrassed, especially seeing the old man in black robes in front of her, his mouth full of blood, staring at them with dead fish eyes as they hugged and cuddled. She really had the illusion that she and Jiang Chenxin were a pair of adulterers, so she quickly pushed Jiang Chenxin away, "It's not confirmed yet! I was just lying to him! It might not really be true..."
However, Jiang Chenxin seemed very excited. He leaned in and kissed Gu Qingqiu's face haphazardly, then picked her up and spun her around.
In the end, it was only after Gu Qingqiu's strong warning that he stopped running wild.
Of course, the two did not forget their main task and pressed the old man in black robes for the exact location of the ice cave.
The old man in black robes felt both distressed and resistant, unable to understand at what point he had fallen into the trap.
Gu Qingqiu mercifully explained to him, "Do you remember how much internal energy you used up yesterday?"
The old man in black robes frowned. He had indeed expended a great deal of internal energy yesterday. First, he had "assisted" Gu Qingqiu in using evil magic to transfer some internal energy to her. Then, he had been flying for so long with two living people on his back. He had finally managed to rest and meditate to recover his internal energy when he was attacked by the white foxes.
"So what?" The old man in black robes had never heard of a Nascent Soul cultivator experiencing such severe symptoms due to excessive consumption of internal energy.
Gu Qingqiu blinked. "Guess why I lit a fire? And why didn't the white fox attack us?"
The old man in black robes finally realized, "It's the flames of the Chi Dragon."
“Yes.” Gu Qingqiu said with a smile, “At first, it was indeed ordinary flames that attracted the white fox, but while you were fighting with the white fox, I secretly tampered with the fire. We, the Deng Le Sect, are not good at fighting, so we can only outsmart it. When our senior sisters hunt for dual cultivation partners, they sometimes use their cultivation techniques to spread powder with bewitching properties through the gas. So, flame particles can also work. I’m just applying what I’ve learned.”
The old man in black robes had a livid face. "I admit I'm not as skilled, but you witch, don't even think about getting the location of the Ice Cave out of me!"
"Tsk tsk tsk." Jiang Chenxin clicked her tongue in amazement. "Stop pretending to be kind and righteous at a time like this, okay? You don't think you're the only one who knows the whereabouts of the Ice Cave, do you? Tell me and I might spare your life."
The old man in black robes waited for the two men for a long time with gritted teeth, but finally gave in. "What are you planning to do? Seek revenge on them? Even if they have the mark of the Chi Dragon, the two of you are no match for so many people. I won't stop you from going to your deaths."
"Are we that stupid?" Gu Qingqiu raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, we are really going to deal with the Chilong mark."
"Really? What kind of conspiracy do you have?" The old man in black robes didn't believe they would be so kind as to repay evil with good.
“Of course, you need to make some promises,” Jiang Chenxin chimed in. “Your people need to swear a solemn oath on the spot that they will no longer interfere with the normal cultivation of the disciples of my Shura Sect and Dengle Sect, will not set foot in the forbidden areas of our two sects, and will no longer hunt down our disciples. We will keep to ourselves. Otherwise, they will suffer double the backlash of the Chilong Mark, and their dantian will be burned by flames day and night, causing them endless torment and preventing them from making any progress in their cultivation.”
"How dare you! You bunch of crooked and evil people, you dare to push your luck?" The old man in black robes darkened his face.
Jiang Chenxin didn't hold back and slapped the old man in black robes across the face. "Now that you're asking us for a favor, watch your mouth. I don't have a good temper."
Gu Qingqiu also said, "Our Deng Le Sect originated from a group of homeless and weak women who found a remote mountain to rely on for survival. They built the sect by picking up abandoned baby girls from all over the place. We were originally a pitiful group of people, and we don't steal or rob. Even if our cultivation methods are evil, or even considered demonic by you righteous people, dual cultivation is a matter of mutual consent. If those men could control their lower bodies, we wouldn't have the chance to catch them. On the contrary, some people, after they've had their fun, pull up their pants and the next day they insult my senior sisters by calling them witches and sluts."
"Hmph." The old man in black robes knew that many righteous people were indeed entangled with female cultivators from the Deng Le Sect, and he didn't know how to refute them, so he could only snort coldly.
"I knew it," Jiang Chenxin commented. "This old guy's only stubborn thing is his mouth."
"Alright," Gu Qingqiu said helplessly, "If you keep talking like this, we won't be able to get any serious business done."
Jiang Chenxin, who was now completely obedient to Gu Qingqiu, immediately shut her mouth.
The old man in black robes had an even more subtle expression upon seeing this, probably thinking to himself that Gu Qingqiu, this vixen, was indeed quite cunning.
In the end, the old man in black robes still led the way for Gu Qingqiu and Jiang Chenxin. Along the way, Jiang Chenxin held onto Gu Qingqiu's arm, acting like a shy young girl. Whenever Gu Qingqiu tried to pull away, Jiang Chenxin immediately used the excuse that she was blind and couldn't see to continue clinging to Gu Qingqiu.
Gu Qingqiu was truly helpless, but it was indeed her fault that she had temporarily blinded the other party, so she could only admit that she was in the wrong.
Upon arriving at the Ice Cave, disciples immediately announced their arrival and greeted them. However, seeing that besides the black-robed elder, Jiang Chenxin and a veiled woman had also arrived, they immediately became wary. "Senior, this is…"
As everyone knows, several Nascent Soul stage seniors joined forces to attack Deng Le Sect and kidnapped a female disciple for dual cultivation. It's understandable that the female disciple didn't want to reveal her identity and wore a mask, but why did Jiang Chenxin come along too?
Jiang Chenxin is the culprit who caused them to suffer so much here, yet she just swaggered in like this.
Jiang Chenxin even commanded with the air of a superior, "Call out all your people."
The disciple was about to object when he heard the old man in black robes say in a deep voice, "Do as he says."
So the disciple swallowed his words indignantly, and then went off to call for help with great pride.
Not long after, the group emerged from the ice cave and saw the black-robed elder standing with Gu Qingqiu and Jiang Chenxin, their expressions varied, and many of them even placed their hands on the weapons at their waists.
Mo Ran asked loudly, "Senior, are you being held hostage by these two thieves?"
"Senior, don't be afraid! These two are no match for us. Let's find a way to rescue you!"
"That's right! You two thieves! Release the senior immediately! Otherwise, we won't be polite!"
"Don't think we're afraid of you! The dragon mark here has been suppressed; you're no match for us!"
Although Jiang Chenxin couldn't see the expressions on these people's faces, she could tell from their words that they were a bunch of overconfident idiots. "You guys are really interesting. If I wanted to do anything to your so-called senior, he would have died last night and would probably be dead by now."
