Chapter 221: The Fox Spirit (34)
Doesn't she have any temper at all?
After Gu Xuefeng left, Qiqi quietly asked Wen Wan, "How did you manage to win over that terrifying man?"
Why is Gu Xuefeng considered a terrifying man? Because, aside from her master, Gu Xuefeng is arguably the most powerful cultivator Qiqi has ever seen. In fact, aside from her master, it's only because of her favoritism that she has encountered him. Moreover, she has been threatened by that terrifying man several times. She has no doubt that if he really had any intention of harming Wen Wan, he would probably be long dead.
"I'm very capable."
Qiqi: "???"
"You were so scared you almost peed your pants, and you still think you're so capable?" Qiqi said without hesitation, then looked at Wen Wan's face, "To be honest, you're the most beautiful woman I have besides my master. Could it be that you're using your looks to serve your master?"
Wen Wan was eating beef jerky when it got stuck in her throat, causing her to cough incessantly.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qiqi: "You're a fox, aren't foxes the best at using their bodies and beauty to achieve their goals?"
Wen Wan: "That's some other vixen. I'm a righteous person. Gu Xuefeng and I are just friends. Besides, Gu Xuefeng loves someone, who is his destined wife. You must never talk nonsense in the future, and you must never talk nonsense in front of Gu Xuefeng, otherwise I will really be angry."
Kiki nodded. "Besides your face, what other good points do you have?"
Wen Wan grabbed Qiqi, no longer afraid of Qiqi the snake. "What do you mean? What good am I? I'm kind. If it weren't for me, you would have been slashed by Gu Xuefeng's sword long ago."
"And I'm so cute, loved by everyone, and admired by flowers. I'm cultured, knowledgeable, cheerful, and lively. How can I not have any good points?"
Qiqi: "..."
I didn't realize she was cute, but I did realize she was greedy.
But with her neck being choked, Kiki still gave in, saying, "You're the cutest, I was wrong."
Wen Wan released Qi Qi, and Qi Qi quickly left the room.
...
Because of Qiqi's arrival, they learned about the master of this other world from her.
The creator of this world is named Chen Xiao, a rogue cultivator. When talking about her master, Qiqi can be said to be extremely proud, but it is understandable. After all, as a rogue cultivator, without a powerful sect or cultivation resources to rely on, he has reached the Tribulation Transcending stage solely through his own abilities. This is beyond genius; he is practically a second Gu Xuefeng.
Thinking back to the original novel's portrayal of Gu Xuefeng, she was also a chosen one. However, this world also has Si Xun, the future overlord, and even the female lead is a rare genius. It seems that she is the only useless person in this world. She is with so many geniuses. Fortunately, she is not envious, otherwise she would definitely lose her composure. If jealousy takes hold, she might become a vicious cannon fodder who courts death.
Chen Xiao cultivated diligently, and was blessed with exceptional talent. Most importantly, she had countless moments of good fortune at crucial moments. All of this combined allowed her to ascend all the way, break through the Tribulation Transcending stage, and even usher in her own opportunity for ascension.
She deliberately sought out a secluded place and created numerous arrays to protect herself. The simple cave that Wen Wan and Gu Xuefeng had seen before they arrived was also Chen Xiao's temporary residence. It must be said that this female cultivator was truly not delicate.
However, the path to ascension was too perilous, and Chen Xiao failed to ascend.
Before he knew he had failed, Chen Xiao forcibly kept the inner world, and then threw Qiqi into it before dying and disappearing.
Qiqi cried so hard when she got to this point, and Wen Wan felt sad just watching her.
"Where might your master have kept the key to the other world?"
Kiki shook her head. "I don't know. I've searched every corner of this place, but I haven't found a way to leave."
Gu Xuefeng hadn't spoken until now, when she finally asked, "What does Chen Xiao value most?"
"Cultivation".
"Apart from spiritual practice."
Qiqi was thinking. After all, too much time had passed, and she hadn't been with her master from the beginning. She had only spent about a hundred years with her master, so she wasn't very clear about what had happened to her master before.
Qiqi tried hard to search her memory for anything special about Gu Xuefeng, including some people who were just passersby she had met once or twice on her journey. She didn't think they were worth mentioning. In the end, she actually found one special person.
"The owner may have been married before."
Wen Yan: "!!!"
"Why the uncertain tone?" Could there be some secret behind it?
Kiki continued, "Because I've never met that person, and my master never mentions him normally, it was only after my master got drunk and started cursing that man that I realized my master had someone she couldn't forget. However, when my master woke up, she was the same as always. And perhaps knowing that I had discovered what she said when she was drunk, my master never got drunk in front of me again."
"What's that person's name?"
Kiki: "My master calls him a dog."
Wen Yan: "..."
That's really a good name. "What other characteristics does he have? For example, is he a scumbag who abandoned your master, and your master was heartbroken, so she still remembers him?"
Kiki: "It seems like my master wiped out his entire family."
Wen Wan: Wow, this person is really ruthless.
Gu Xuefeng, standing to the side, asked, "Has your master ever fallen into the demonic path?"
Qiqi shook her head. "No? I've lived with my master for so long. My master cultivates his own unique techniques, which are spiritual cultivation, not demonic cultivation. Moreover, my master is a good person who has always helped the weak and oppressed, slaying demons and monsters, and helping many people. How could he possibly fall into the demonic path?"
"According to the timeline you mentioned, only the Qiyun Sect ever suffered a massacre."
Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng in shock, "That happened more than a thousand years ago, you remember it too?"
"The Snow Sect was only recently established and needs to be thoroughly familiar with the affairs of the entire cultivation world in order to survive better, so we conducted in-depth investigations."
“But after so long, you still remember that I ate a few pieces of beef jerky a few days ago. I had forgotten about it, or maybe I didn’t eat it.”
Gu Xuefeng: "..."
Qiqi on the side: "..."
He really is a stupid glutton.
"Qiyun Sect is a second-rate sect. It was massacred overnight, and the massacre happened to be on the wedding day of the Qiyun Sect leader's son. I have seen the case file. Except for the groom Qi Bailin, no one in the entire sect survived. If you are referring to this murder case, according to the later investigation, the people of Qiyun Sect died from the methods of demonic cultivators."
Qiqi: "..."
"Impossible! If my master cultivated demonic arts, how could he possibly still practice traditional cultivation techniques?"
"able."
Wen Wan looked at Gu Xuefeng. Gu Xuefeng possessed the bloodline of Asura, which was also a demon. So, was Gu Xuefeng also a practitioner of both demonic and demonic cultivation? Was that why she was so certain?
Qiqi felt her worldview was being shaken; her god-like master could actually be a demon cultivator.
Wen Wan patted Qi Qi's head and said, "Even if your master is likely to cultivate demonic arts, she is not necessarily a bad person. Perhaps she encountered some major change or blow and accidentally went astray. You can't entirely blame her for this."
Kiki: "Is it because she was possessed by a demon that she failed to ascend and disappeared?"
Wen Yan: "..."
She didn't know that. Looking at Gu Xuefeng, who had lived for so many years, he would have been a living fossil in her world.
Gu Xuefeng said, "It's possible. Anything is possible on the path of cultivation. If the fall into demonic possession is true, then her failure to ascend could also be due to this."
"Ah, I've got it."
"What are you thinking about?" Qiqi asked. Wen Wan said, "Is it possible that not everyone is dead, but Qi Bailin is the only one who has disappeared? Could it be that your master hid Qi Bailin in the other world?"
Gu Xuefeng: "Only cultivators at the Tribulation Transcending stage can possess an inner world, and when the Qi family was wiped out, Chen Xiao should not have created an inner world yet."
"Even if it's not a living person, the remains will do, right? If I hate someone to the extreme and do something like wiping out an entire family, I will definitely torture that scumbag like crazy. Even if he's dead, I will bury him next to me and whip his corpse every day."
Qiqi: "..."
What happened to your kindness?
Gu Xuefeng glanced at Wen Wan, who quickly explained, "I'm speaking from Qiqi's perspective. Think about it, her master is a kind person who helps others. Even if she became possessed by a scumbag and couldn't control herself, killing his entire family, she must have been heartbroken when she came to her senses. After all, some of them were innocent people, and she was filled with remorse. The scumbag, the culprit who caused all this, must be a very, very important person. It's not impossible that after that scumbag dies, burying him in the inner world is not out of the question."
Qiqi also thought it made sense.
"But I've searched every corner of this place and haven't seen a single grave."
"Are you stupid? If you erect a grave and a tombstone, you'll see it every day, wouldn't that make you even angrier? If I were your master, I would just dig a hole and bury him, or cremate him and throw him into the lake."
Qiqi: "..."
She simply couldn't imagine that her master would do such a thing.
"There's another possibility."
When Qiqi asked what was possible, Wen Wan looked at Qiqi and said, "Maybe you just can't find it. You haven't even cultivated a human form yet, and your cultivation is even worse than mine. If your master deliberately hid it, how could you possibly find it?"
"My cultivation is inferior to yours?" Qiqi's eyes widened. She had cultivated for a thousand years, and this fox was only a little bit old. How dare she see her clearly? Qiqi was just about to show Wen Wan how powerful she was when she turned around and saw Gu Xuefeng looking at her with icy cold eyes.
Qiqi: "..."
You think you're so great just because you have powerful connections?
"Well... that's possible, after all, my talent for cultivation is too low." Waaah, she was a genius snake of the spirit snake clan, and one day, because of being threatened, she had to admit that she was a good-for-nothing? What kind of human suffering is this? She was such a failure.
“But Gu Xuefeng is different. He will definitely be able to discover that he is the person with the highest cultivation in the world.” This was indeed true, and Wen Wan praised him with great confidence.
Gu Xuefeng said, "I will do my best to search and hopefully find a way to leave."
After that, Gu Xuefeng went out every day, and Wen Wan and Qiqi waited at home. Qiqi also gave Wen Wan a lot of treasures, all left behind by her master. Anyway, she didn't like to eat these pills, and she couldn't use these spiritual weapons. There were also a bunch of cultivation techniques that she couldn't understand. She disliked reading the most, so she could say that she didn't know many characters. It was no pity to give them all to Wen Wan.
