A meteor streaks across the sky, robbing from a thousand miles away
"What is it? Tell me now!"
"Just... remember to clean up after you finish eating!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent. The night wind, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus, swept across the stone table, causing the candlelight to flicker and casting everyone's frozen shadows on the brick floor. The air seemed to freeze. Finally, Linghu Luoxi could no longer bear this atmosphere and broke the silence.
"That's it?" Linghu Luoxi stabbed the last piece of chestnut cake with her silver fork and said as she ate, "I thought you were going to stew Wuyan for a snack."
"...Not really." Chi An said speechlessly.
"Okay, got it! So hurry up and eat! If you don't, I'll eat it all!"
"Brother, please leave some food for me! I want to eat that too!" Si Yanqing immediately ran over and said.
"There's only one left! Rock, paper, scissors, whoever wins gets to eat!"
Si Yanqing hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I won't eat this! Big brother, you eat it!" Then he picked up another plate of cakes, "I'll eat this."
Time passed, the night wind gently rustled through the night's sound. Jiang Yeqing, expressionless, swept the scattered fruit shells from the floor; Linghu Luoxi cleaned and washed the dishes; Shangguan Yi put things back in their proper places. When everything was finally tidy, everyone returned to their respective sects.
The next day, Linghu Luoxi came to a flat ground early to practice talismans. In order to improve his skills to the point of being able to complete the task with one stroke, he specially tied Yun Suiqi up.
"Junior sister... actually... you are already very good..." Yun Suiqi said, hiding behind the peach tree, with some dust still on the ends of his hair.
Linghu Luoxi looked at the useless talisman in his hand and questioned, "I can even make mistakes when drawing talismans now, and you think you draw well?"
"But... you're not drawing talismans, you're making firecrackers!"
Linghu Luoxi threw out a wrinkled yellow talisman, and as soon as the talisman paper left his hand, three feet of sparks exploded.
The flat ground here had already been blasted to pieces, like a chessboard struck by thunder. Linghu Luoxi drew and threw talismans, and Yun Suiqi could only keep dodging.
As Linghu Luoxi was painting, the tip of her nose suddenly felt hot, and a drop of blood happened to drip onto the tip of the cinnabar brush, and that drop of blood happened to drip onto the last stroke of the talisman paper.
Suddenly, a golden light shone, and the talisman paper rose into the air like a golden butterfly. Linghu Luoxi and Yun Suiqi were shocked, thinking it had succeeded. But...
"Bang--"
Accompanied by the sound of the talisman paper exploding and the powerful impact force, Linghu Luoxi and the other person were blown away, streaking across the sky like meteors.
"Oh my god—"
Shangguan Yi happened to look up and see this scene while practicing sword. Shangguan Yi twitched the tip of his sword and looked at the trail of smoke in the sky. "Are aliens attacking the world of cultivation?"
"Master, what's wrong?" Shen Yuanming asked when he noticed Shangguan Yi was distracted.
"It seems like there was an explosion over there!" Shangguan Yi pointed at Han Qingzong in the distance and said.
The "meteor" in the sky flew over Liyue Sect. Chi An looked at the thing flying through the air with a confused look on his face.
"What?"
Nangong He, who was watching from the side, put down his teacup and replied, "It looks like a shooting star."
After hearing this, Chi An returned to his usual indifference and said, "Oh, how strange!" But what he was thinking was: Oh, this dead noise is obviously someone's masterpiece.
After an unknown distance, two figures, enveloped in dust and smoke, fell like meteors, landing squarely on Su Mianmian's hibiscus pastry. Yan Hui shook the teacup, leaving the rose tea in the celadon cup unspilled.
"Sorry, sorry!" Linghu Luoxi said, crawling out from the crumbs of the Hibiscus Pastry, with half a maple leaf stuck in her hair.
Su Mianmian patted the dust off her body and said, "It's okay. I wonder how Miss Linghu came down from the sky?" Looking at the leaves on Linghu Luoxi's head, she added, "You have leaves on your head."
Hearing this, Linghu Luoxi was stunned for a moment, touched his head tentatively, and immediately picked off the leaf when he touched it.
Yun Suiqi was about to answer Su Mianmian when Linghu Luoxi quickly covered Yun Suiqi's mouth, silently shouting in her heart: Silly child, you are not afraid of embarrassment, but I am!
"Ahem! Actually... we're here to rob! Hand over your goodies!"
Yan Hui laughed and said, "Miss Linghu is really interesting. Our best weapons are no match for one of yours!" Then he brought out a new plate of cakes and said, "So... do you want to eat together?"
Hearing this, Linghu Luoxi nodded without hesitation and said, "Eat!" Just as he put the snack into his mouth, he seemed to think of something and said, "Where is your senior brother?"
Su Mianmian shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Linghu Luoxi chewed the cake and pointed behind Su Mianmian, "But isn't he right behind?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked back. At this time, Xie Cihuai had just come to the back mountain to practice sword. When he saw Linghu Luoxi not far away, he showed a malicious smile and approached step by step.
After Linghu Luoxi noticed it, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "Why...why did Second Brother save me!"
"Don't worry! He is not that kind of person." Yun Suiqi replied while eating pastries.
Linghu Luoxi cried out helplessly in her heart: He may not have been that kind of person before, but it's different now! Now he already hates me to the core!
Before Linghu Luoxi could react, Xie Cihuai had already drawn his sword and slashed at her. Linghu Luoxi ran around the place with a rose cake in her mouth, while Su Mianmian and the other two ate and watched the show on the side.
"Chi! Yi! If you don't come soon, I'll be killed!" Linghu Luoxi roared to the sky.
Just as he finished speaking, Chi An and Shangguan Yi happened to pass by, and everyone stared at each other. Then, the scene changed, and out of nowhere, a 3v3 competition began.
Linghu Luoxi said with a playful smile: "You guys came just in time! I'll call you next time if I need anything."
"Get lost! I was just passing by, but you inexplicably brought me here to do hard labor!" Shangguan Yi complained.
Chi An was about to say something, but Xie Cihuai slashed directly at him. Chi An and the others immediately defended. The three swords suddenly collided in mid-air, and the scene suddenly burst into flames. The sword energy shook off the red maple leaves on the tree.
Su Mianmian thrust her sword, and Linghu Luoxi stumbled back to avoid it. Su Mianmian pressed forward, pursuing her. Linghu Luoxi's pupils suddenly constricted, and her fingers dug deep into her clothes. The sword slipped from her hand and stabbed diagonally into the ground, its tassel swaying violently in the wind.
"Wait... wait! My heart hurts..."
Hearing this, Su Mianmian's attack slowed down, and her eyes showed some emotion.
But Xie Cihuai, who had been tricked many times, did not retract his sword, and stabbed Linghu Luoxi with a sneer, "You said the same thing during the secret realm trial last month! Do you think I still believe it?"
"cough!"
With a cough, Linghu Luoxi spat a mouthful of blood onto Xie Cihuai's face. Xie Cihuai was stunned for two seconds, then wiped the blood off his face with a dark expression. Linghu Luoxi coughed up another mouthful of blood and fell to the ground unconscious.
Shangguan Yi immediately dropped the sword in his hand, "Luo!" He shook Linghu Luoxi frantically and said, "Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay? Are you okay?!"
Chi An was speechless for a while, "Stop shaking! If you keep shaking her, she'll really be killed by you!"
Yun Suiqi immediately stepped forward, grabbed Linghu Luoxi's hand, and placed three fingers on the pulse point.
"How is Miss Linghu?" Yan Hui asked nervously.
"Junior Sister...she should be about to break through to the late foundation building stage, but because of the previous competition, her spiritual power is a bit disordered! Does anyone have a pill?"
Yan Hui shook his head and said, "What should we do? My senior sister and I are both weapon cultivators, and my senior brother is a sword cultivator! There is no alchemy cultivator at all."
Su Mianmian thought for a moment, and suddenly pressed her fingers on Linghu Luoxi's back. Frost-colored spiritual power poured in like a stream, inputting her own spiritual power into Linghu Luoxi's body bit by bit, and using Linghu Luoxi's own spiritual power to clear the meridians bit by bit. When Yan Hui saw this, he immediately helped.
The others could only watch, not because they refused to help, but because they simply couldn't. Chi An gazed at the blood-stained maple leaves on the ground, his frost blade unconsciously gleaming with a three-foot-long cold light. Xie Cihuai's sword grip throbbed with veins as he suddenly spun around, cleaving three ancient pines.
After a cup of tea, Linghu Luoxi suddenly arched her body and spat out another mouthful of blood, staining Su Mianmian's moon-white skirt red, shocking everyone.
"Junior Sister!"
