Chapter 217: The Fox Spirit (30)
Gu Xuefeng didn't care what would happen to these people afterward, but it seemed that Qi Shuangshuang was definitely in a lot of trouble. It was just a pity that she wouldn't be able to see the aftermath. The further the two went, the more various demons came. Wen Wan went from being terrified and shocked at the beginning to gradually getting used to it, because no demon could withstand a single sword strike from Gu Xuefeng. Was this what it felt like to cling to a top-tier golden thigh?
[We're almost there, host. You must remember what I said, okay?] The system emphasized worriedly. After all, this was the first time the host had to face this unknown danger alone, and the system was also worried that things might go wrong.
"Don't worry, Gu Xuefeng is very capable."
System: [Alright, I'm already feeling some pressure. We might lose contact soon. You must protect yourself; I can't be there to collect your corpse.]
"Alright, turn it off now."
system:【……】
Why does he seem a little impatient?
Wen Wan and Gu Xuefeng reached a cave entrance. Wen Wan called out to the system twice, but the system did not respond. It seemed to be truly shut down. Wen Wan subconsciously tightened her grip on Gu Xuefeng's sleeve and turned to leave. "I think this place is too dangerous. Let's find another place."
She chickened out.
The entrance to this cave is pitch black; it's clearly not a good place.
After walking with Gu Xuefeng for a while, Wen Wan frowned and pulled her back to the cave entrance. "I think fortune favors the bold. Maybe there's a miracle here. Let's go take a look." After all, if this affected the male and female protagonists' chance, Wen Wan would be in big trouble.
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
Wen Wan told Gu Xuefeng to walk in front, saying, "I'll take care of your worries from behind."
Gu Xuefeng sighed, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"I wasn't scared."
The passageway was long, and Wen Wan could clearly smell a damp, cold, and fishy stench. She stepped into a puddle, and Wen Wan was so frightened that she overreacted, clinging tightly to Gu Xuefeng's arm, wanting to jump up.
"What's wrong?" Gu Xuefeng asked worriedly.
Wen Wan felt her shoes were wet. "These legs are ruined."
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
He sighed. He had never seen such a delicate person. Gu Xuefeng handed the luminous pearl to Wen Wan and squatted down. "I'll carry you on my back."
Wen Wan said aloud, "Isn't this inappropriate?"
His actions, however, showed an extreme will to survive: "Thank you, Master!"
Gu Xuefeng carried Wen Wan forward, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, he was somewhat annoyed. This was not something he would do, nor should he have done it; it had crossed the line between ordinary master and disciple.
"Gu Xuefeng, you're such a good person." Having received the "good person card," Wen Wan, who was feeling nervous and scared, wanted to talk to someone, but the system had vanished, so she could only chat with Gu Xuefeng.
"Gu Xuefeng, what kind of person do you like?"
Gu Xuefeng paused, then said calmly, "She doesn't talk much."
She doesn't like to act cute or pampered.
"Those with high cultivation levels."
Wen Wan didn't expect Gu Xuefeng to answer her question, but he actually mentioned his ideal type. Wen Wan compared Lin Qingshui to him, and it was a perfect match. It seems that the male and female leads are truly a match made in heaven.
"You will definitely find your ideal type. Sometimes, the right person is right in front of you, even if they are far away. You just need to observe more, experience more, and look at the people around you more."
Gu Xuefeng remained silent.
The long passageway soon ended, and the space instantly widened. The moment they stepped inside, Wen Wan could see the environment clearly, and it was just too... dilapidated.
A bed, a table, and nothing else.
Even the kerosene in the kerosene lamp had dried up.
"System, are you sure this is where the miracle is?" After asking, he realized that the system wasn't here.
"Master, could you check if there's any strange demonic or monster energy around here?" Wen Wan cautiously looked around.
"No."
"Did you sense any residual aura left behind by an ascended powerful being?"
"No."
Wen Wan looked around and found nothing... completely empty. "Did we come to the wrong place?"
This damn system is so unreliable.
"That's strange."
"What's so strange?"
Gu Xuefeng reached out and touched the table. "It's so clean now, with less dust."
Wen Wan touched the bed. It looked small, but it was really clean. "Has someone come to clean it?"
Gu Xuefeng glanced at Wen Wan, who also felt that what she said was too outrageous. Where was this place? There were vast forests outside, and it was easy to get lost if you weren't careful. There were also countless strange and bizarre monsters. It would be strange if anyone settled here.
"What does that mean?"
Gu Xuefeng: "I don't know."
"Burp~~~" Wen Wan's stomach rumbled at the most inopportune moment. "How about we eat something first?"
"Practice requires reducing food intake."
Wen Yan: "..."
She felt that if one couldn't even eat while cultivating, that would be too miserable; how could one possibly live like that?
Wen Wan carefully wiped the table clean, and then took the initiative to start a fire. Gu Xuefeng watched as Wen Wan took out firewood and a flint from the storage bell, and then took out bowls, chopsticks and various snacks.
"Please, Master." Wen Wansheng readily gave her seat to Gu Xuefeng, who sighed and then began processing the preserved spirit beast meat.
Soon, a rich aroma of meat filled the room, and Wen Wan stared intently at the roasting meat on the fire, swallowing hard.
"Are you done yet?"
"Wait a little longer."
After a while, the meat was ready, and Wen Wan ate it with relish. She really felt that this male lead was an essential for both home and travel.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two looked around again, but found nothing, so they prepared to leave.
"Let's get out of here first."
Wen Wan called for the system to start working. There was nothing there, so the system shouldn't be afraid, right? However, no matter how she tried to contact it, she still couldn't reach the system. Her system was as if it were dead.
They left the strange place by the same route, but the scene outside was not the same as when they came. The dense forest in front of them had disappeared, and in its place was a paradise. Gu Xuefeng pulled Wen Wan and turned to leave, but found that the cave entrance had also disappeared, and behind them was a large lake.
Wen Yan: "..."
"Where are we? Have we fallen into a trap?"
This was an utterly unexpected disaster, and she didn't even know how it had happened.
"This is the other world."
What is the Otherworld?
Gu Xuefeng explained, "The Inner World is another world created by cultivators in the Tribulation Transcending stage, different from the real world. The creator of the Inner World is the only god."
Wen Wan was shocked. "So there really are cultivators who ascended to immortality in this place?"
Gu Xuefeng nodded. "Yes, and it failed."
"It failed? Why?"
