Chapter 223: The Fox Spirit (36)
Qi Bailin harbored immense resentment and suffered daily torment; his soul was no longer that of a normal person.
Gu Xuefeng released her hand and used a purification spell with a look of disgust.
Qiqi wanted to devour Qi Bailin, but Wen Wan stopped her in the end, saying, "He's so dirty, aren't you afraid of getting indigestion?"
Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng, "But she doesn't have any information about the key to the inner world in her memory either?" This is, after all, their current focus, their top priority.
"Perhaps we're wrong, and the key has nothing to do with him."
Gu Xuefeng sealed Qi Bailin's soul away. Wen Wan and Qi Qi were both a little disappointed. Qi Qi shook her head and said, "If it's not Qi Bailin, then I really can't imagine what other important things Master has. I've been with Master for too short a time. I wish I could have met Master sooner."
Wen Wan patted Qi Qi, "This is not something you can decide. We can't rush this. If it's destined that we can leave, we might even bump into the key on the street. If God is determined to prevent us from leaving, then we'll step on the key without even knowing it."
“That makes sense.” Although Qiqi has lived for a long time, she has always lived in the inner world, so her mind is actually very simple, just like a little girl.
Wen Wan: Of course she makes sense.
For a while afterward, Wen Wan and Gu Xuefeng lived a peaceful life with Qiqi. Unlike Xuezong, Gu Xuefeng no longer forced her to cultivate. Instead, he assigned her many tasks every day. And, whether it was Wen Wan's imagination or not, she always felt that Gu Xuefeng had changed.
He started laughing more, laughing like a fairy from the snow mountain suddenly descending to earth. Even Qiqi was stunned several times, not to mention Wen Wan, who was a sucker for good looks. Several times she almost fell for his stunning beauty. Qiqi and Wen Wan bit their tongues and said, "Gu Xuefeng is the kind of man my master mentioned."
"What man?"
"The better-looking a man is, the more likely he is to lie."
Wen Yan: "..."
Moreover, he not only started laughing, but he also stopped cultivating. He ate three meals a day, went out to enjoy the sights with them during the day, and slept like an ordinary person at night. It could be said that he was not at all like a man who was at the peak of cultivation.
They also learned how to grow vegetables and fenced off a place to raise pheasants and rabbits.
Her cooking skills were decent, which captivated Qiqi, making her completely forget her master's wise saying: the prettier someone is, the more likely they are to deceive.
...
【Host. 】
The long-absent system voice instantly brought Wen Wan, who was playing with Qi Qi, back to her senses. "You're back? I thought you were dead. I'm so sorry. I was thinking of burning paper money for you every year, but I don't know if you'll ever receive it."
system:【……】
Thank you so much!
They even want to burn paper money for it; how much do they want it dead?
[Let's get down to business. Where are you?]
Wen Wan quickly explained what had happened to the system. Because the system was worried that this place would suppress and threaten it, it went to the library to seek help when it left its host. After all, it didn't want to be destroyed either, and it would be a pity if its host died.
Who would have thought that he would be summoned back to the library by chance and promoted? As a result, almost half a year has passed. As soon as the system came out, it quickly came to check on the host. It turned out that the host had already started living a secluded retirement life with men and pets.
They've probably all forgotten about the mission.
Meanwhile, the situation outside is in complete chaos.
"It's not that I'm not working hard, it's that we simply can't find a way to leave. It's definitely not because I'm being passive or lazy."
System: [You said this is the other world, right?]
"Yes?" Didn't she spend so much time explaining?
"Then you know that Gu Xuefeng is a Tribulation Transcending cultivator, right?" the system continued to ask, which Wen Wan found somewhat strange.
"You know? So what?"
[Then why do you think a cultivator at the Tribulation Transcending stage with a higher cultivation level than Chen Xiao would be trapped in this inner world without even a master? Have you lost your mind? I told you to cling to the male lead, but why do you trust him so much?]
Wen Yan: "..."
"You mean he can go out?" Wen Wan's eyes widened in shock. Qi Qi asked from the side, "What's wrong, A-Wan?"
Wen Wan immediately ran to find Gu Xuefeng. She was angry, and this time she was really angry, the kind that couldn't be appeased.
Gu Xuefeng was drinking tea in his study when Wen Wan barged in without even knocking and ran up to him.
"You have no manners. I taught you to knock before entering a room." As soon as Gu Xuefeng finished speaking, Wen Wan slammed her hand on the table.
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
"What happened?"
Wen Wan: "Is it fun to lie to me?"
What did I lie to you about?
Seeing Gu Xuefeng's complete denial, Wen Wan's anger flared up instantly. Even though she was having a lot of fun, she was still worried and guilty every day. After all, she was the one who brought Gu Xuefeng here, and she was worried that Gu Xuefeng would be left here for the rest of his life, and that his wife would be gone.
And what was the result?
It's all a lie, it's unbelievable.
"You said we can't go out and need a key to the inner world, is that true?"
"Seriously? If you're lying to me, I'll never talk to you again for the rest of my life," Wen Wan continued, staring intently and fiercely at Gu Xuefeng.
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
"At first, I really had no way to leave except to find the owner's key."
"Um?"
"I did eventually figure out the rules of the inner world, but I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."
"You're lying! You're deceiving me!"
Wen Wan suddenly ran out, with Gu Xuefeng chasing after her. The next second, Gu Xuefeng grabbed Wen Wan's sleeve, and Wen Wan instantly transformed back into her original form.
"Ah Wan, I didn't mean to lie to you." Gu Xuefeng didn't expect Wen Wan to know. He had originally planned to take Wen Wan away from here after a while. He was just selfish and wanted to find a place where he could leave everything behind and not be burdened by worldly affairs.
This was the only time in his life that he had such a selfish urge.
Gu Xuefeng hugged the fox, "Change back, and I'll explain, okay?"
"Squeak~"
I don't believe you for a second.
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
The system couldn't help but burst into laughter. It was truly astonishing that the male protagonist would be so disliked by his own host.
When Qiqi returned, she saw Wen Wan's original form and thought it was so cute. She had no idea that Wen Wan was angry. She played with Wen Wan, saying, "Wan, I didn't know your original form was so petite and fair-skinned."
"Squeak~"
Wen Wan left with Qi Qi; she didn't want to forgive Gu Xuefeng anytime soon.
Because his lie was exposed, Gu Xuefeng quickly found the exit from the inner world and then forcibly broke through from the inside. Wen Wan asked Qiqi if she wanted to leave together, and Qiqi nodded, "Of course we have to leave. It's too boring here. I'm about to suffocate."
So Gu Xuefeng was holding Wen Wan's fox prototype while a pure white snake was curled up on the fox's body.
After leaving the other world, there were almost no people left.
[The female lead and Shen Qianyuan have returned to the Xuanmen Sect.] Moreover, their relationship has made a breakthrough. It seems that the second male lead taking over is an inevitable outcome. The system sighed. This mission, just like the previous ones, will end with the sacrifice of the host. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?
