Chapter 216: The Fox Spirit (29)
So it wasn't that there was no one there. Then why couldn't she hear anyone talking at all? She looked at Gu Xuefeng with a question in her eyes. Gu Xuefeng waved his hand, and the next second, all the sounds entered Wen Wan's ears.
Wen Yan: "..."
So the quiet along the way was because Gu Xuefeng had blocked out all sounds?
"Gu Xuefeng, why? Why did you do this?"
"Too noisy."
Wen Wan: "..." Okay, this reason is very real. Just think about the Qianxue Palace where Gu Xuefeng is. It is empty and spacious. Apart from the disciples who are cleaning, apart from her, Lin Qingshui and Si Xun, there is no fourth outsider.
"Then they can't see us either?" Wen Wan waved to the others and got a response, but the expressions on their faces seemed a bit strange. Some people even walked faster and eventually ran away.
Wen Yan: "???"
What Wen Wan didn't know was that everyone else had been able to see this strange pair all along: a beautiful, delicate girl, like a porcelain doll, with white silk covering her eyes, being led by a handsome man.
At first, some people went to cause trouble, but they couldn't even get close before disappearing without a trace. The man who silently killed a cultivator was truly formidable. Yet, the celestial-like girl made no reaction whatsoever, which was incredibly strange. People instinctively feel fear towards the strange.
Along the way, the two attracted a lot of curiosity, but no one wanted to go up and provoke them.
"Why are you running? Am I that scary?"
Gu Xuefeng: "They're probably busy seizing opportunities."
Wen Wan nodded. "That's true. Should we go and try to steal it too? After all, there are legendary miracles here. Maybe we can find the opportunity to ascend."
"That's meaningless to me. Heaven will not allow someone like me to ascend."
Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng and couldn't help but see a hint of melancholy on his face. It was true, he was clearly the number one in the world, the person closest to ascension, yet he possessed the bloodline of the Asura clan.
The male lead is a perfect example of a handsome, strong, and tragic character. If the original setting were true, even his wife would have run off with someone else.
Wen Wan felt sorry for him and reached out to pat Gu Xuefeng on the shoulder. "Don't worry, everything will be alright."
I will have a wife, I will ascend to heaven, and I will have all the happiness in life.
Wen Wan asked the system, "Do you know the exact location of that so-called miracle?" Wen Wan wasn't stupid, but she didn't expect that she had the system as a cheat code. Why did she have to search for it bit by bit?
System: [I understand. Follow my instructions. But I must warn you beforehand that if the location of that miracle truly was left behind by an ascended god, I will be blocked. If I am discovered, I will be in danger, and so will you.]
"So even you bookstore people are afraid of natives?"
system:【……】
[I won't be able to help you at that time, so you must be very careful and hold on tight to the male lead. If you encounter the female lead and Shen Qianyuan, hold on tight too, because according to the bad ending plot, these two are the ones who will survive to the end, understand?] The system was worried that its host's troublemaking nature and simple-mindedness would prevent it from even collecting the body if something happened without its supervision.
When they each take over, the game is over.
Wen Wan listened, feeling uneasy. "Do we really have to leave?"
Wen Wan continued, "Although you're useless and incompetent, I'm still scared when I'm alone."
system:【……】
There's no need to emphasize that it's bad; the host is even worse. They're evenly matched, and when two useless people team up, neither should criticize the other.
Following the system's instructions, Wen Wan and Gu Xuefeng walked for half a day and entered a huge forest. The towering trees made them feel instinctively afraid, and there was no one around. Wen Wan tugged at Gu Xuefeng's sleeve and asked, "Have you noticed anything?"
Gu Xuefeng: "Just some demons."
That's all?
Just a monster?
The next second, Wen Wan heard a scream, a heart-wrenching scream, clearly indicating that they had encountered something terrifying, along with cries for help. Wen Wan really didn't want to meddle, because the more she meddled, the faster she would die, but if she didn't intervene, those people would definitely die.
Wen Wan frowned. "I should have known better than to be blind and deaf."
Gu Xuefeng looked at Wen Wan, and he clearly understood what she meant: if you can't see or hear, you don't need to save people. Although Wen Wan is a fox demon, she certainly doesn't know how soft-hearted he really is.
Let's go.
Wen Wan tugged at Gu Xuefeng's sleeve, finally succumbing to her sense of justice, "Gu Xuefeng, can we go and help them?"
"Um."
"hold me."
"Um?"
The next second, Wen Wan was held in Gu Xuefeng's arms, and they quickly arrived at the location where the cultivators were screaming. Wen Wan looked over and then went numb instantly.
"What is that?"
A large pack of wolves, enormous in size, emanating terrifying black energy, and several people were already dead on the ground.
Those who resisted them should be from the same sect, as they all wore the same style of disciple robes.
"Close your eyes."
Wen Wan subconsciously closed her eyes. Gu Xuefeng flew into the wolf pack and killed all the demonic wolves with a single sword strike, turning them into a cloud of demonic energy that dissipated.
"alright."
Wen Wan opened her eyes. Apart from the disciples, the pack of wolves was gone. That was too fast! How long had it been? Thirty seconds?
Looking at Gu Xuefeng with starry eyes, she exclaimed, "You're amazing! You're my god!"
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
"Nonsense."
Where in this world is there a god? And even if there is a god, it couldn't be him.
Wen Wan had no idea that her little joke had caused Gu Xuefeng to think about so many things. Meanwhile, the few cultivators who had escaped death walked over gratefully, and the leader bowed, "Fellow Daoist, thank you for saving our lives. We are disciples of the Cangyun Sect."
"Um."
Wen Wan asked, "How did you manage to provoke those wolves?"
The disciple said, "It's a coincidence."
A female disciple scoffed, "Senior brother, it was clearly Qi Shuangshuang who insisted on picking the Lingxiao Flower. Otherwise, how could we have been attacked? Several of our fellow disciples died because of her this time."
The one crying with tears streaming down her face was clearly Qi Shuangshuang. Wen Wan looked over and had to admit that she was a beautiful woman; even when she cried, she looked beautiful. However, her eyes were soft and aggrieved as she looked at Gu Xuefeng beside her.
Wen Yan: "..."
Gu Xuefeng has even attracted some romantic suitors.
"Senior sister, I didn't mean to. I just thought that the Lingxiao Flower was a rare treasure. I didn't expect it to provoke the demon wolf. I was wrong. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to."
"you--"
"Alright, don't argue like this in front of outsiders. What kind of behavior is this? Junior Sister Xia Lin, Shuangshuang didn't do it on purpose. It was all an accident."
Charlene sneered, "She harmed so many people without doing it on purpose. What would have happened if she had done it on purpose? If we hadn't met them this time, we would have been dead long ago. Anyway, if you insist on protecting her, then let me make this clear: if she does anything reckless again, I will absolutely not care."
"Junior Sister Xia Lin, you—"
Wen Wan wished she had a bag of melon seeds; this was all just acting! For a web novel author, this was a familiar plot!
"Next, who's next? It's Shuangshuang's turn. She'll definitely say: 'Senior brothers and sisters, don't fight over Shuangshuang. It's all Shuangshuang's fault. Shuangshuang deserves to die.' Senior brother will definitely say: 'You didn't mean it.' Xia Lin will be furious."
system:【……】
You are so clever.
Sure enough, Qi Shuangshuang started her scene, playing the role of a delicate and innocent white lotus, which infuriated Xia Lin.
However, this white lotus business also extended to their two saviors.
“My benefactor, you saved me and my fellow disciples. Your kindness is immense. Even if it means I have to be a slave for the rest of my life, I am willing.”
Gu Xuefeng stared coldly at Qi Shuangshuang, who broke out in a cold sweat as if she were being stared at by something terrifying.
Wen Wan chuckled. "Miss Shuangshuang, we don't lack servants, but if you really want to repay a debt of gratitude, just give us the Lingxiao Flower you picked. Consider it a token of our thanks."
Qi Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment, but Xia Lin said, "Of course you can. A mere Lingxiao Flower is hardly enough to repay the life-saving grace."
The other fellow disciples agreed, after all, although the Lingxiao Flower was a rare treasure, it was still worth sacrificing compared to their lives.
"How can this Lingxiao Flower repay the life-saving grace? When we return to the Cangyun Sect, I will definitely have my father prepare a generous gift to thank our benefactor."
Wen Wan: "Then there's no need. We've only met once. Once we get the Lingxiao Flower, we'll be even."
Qi Shuangshuang: "How can this be? Saving someone's life is an immense favor. I must have my father thank you sincerely."
"Where is the Spirit Night Flower?" Xia Lin asked Qi Shuangshuang. Even the most clueless among them noticed something strange at this point. After all, if they could use a Spirit Night Flower, it would be a good thing. Why was Qi Shuangshuang being so evasive?
“She doesn’t have any Lingxiao Flowers on her.” Gu Xuefeng waved his hand, and the next second, something floated out of Qi Shuangshuang’s storage space. Wen Wan looked at the deep red flower she had never seen before, “What is this?”
"The Demon Spirit Flower, this is what the Demon Wolf is after."
Wen Wan: "Wow~"
The disciples of the Cangyun Sect were shocked. "!!!"
Qi Shuangshuang's face turned deathly pale. "How is this possible? It was clearly a Spirit Night Flower, how could it turn into a Demon Spirit Flower? I don't know, I didn't pick it."
What is the Demon Spirit Flower?
Charlene said, "The Demon Spirit Flower is a spiritual plant born from the convergence of demonic energy. So, Qi Shuangshuang, you brought this harmful thing with you and didn't say a word the whole way? Are you trying to kill all of us?"
The other fellow disciples also looked uneasy when they saw Qi Shuangshuang.
Wen Wan wanted to watch the show, but Gu Xuefeng pulled her away. "Gu Xuefeng, aren't you curious about this Demon Spirit Flower?"
"Mind your own business."
Wen Wan: "But you are the leader of the righteous path! Shouldn't we deal with this kind of demonic creature appearing in the world?"
The next second, Gu Xuefeng waved his hand, and the demonic flower was destroyed, leaving not even a trace.
"It's all done."
Wen Wan: "..." What a simple and crude way to handle this!
