"You...you get up quickly. At first, I thought you were going to steal my senior brother or senior sister. By the way, why won't Heaven let you go?" Nian Wanzhou asked her.
Ruan Qianqian then got up, wiped away her snot and tears, and resumed her innocent and virtuous demeanor, saying, "I don't know the specifics either. Back then, our entire clan perished, and... ah!"
A bolt of lightning struck, charring her to a crisp. The thunderclouds overhead seemed to keep striking her as long as she kept talking.
"I'm not saying anything more, I'm not saying anything more, go find it yourself. I won't steal from them, I've already told you what my purpose is, please don't come asking me about these things again. I still want to repair my soul and body so I can ascend to heaven in the future, sob sob sob, goodbye!" Ruan Qianqian left as if her life depended on it.
As soon as she left, the thunderclouds vanished as if they had never existed.
Nian Wanzhou reached out Er Kang's hand, but before she could speak, she saw the charred unidentified object move rapidly and quickly disappear before her eyes.
"This is so strange. They can't even say. It seems that Xiaotiandao is hiding quite a lot." Nian Wanzhou muttered to herself. If she couldn't figure it out, she could only return to the main group.
I only stayed in the secret realm for less than ten days, but it felt like a month had passed in the blink of an eye. I don't know when I'll be able to go back.
Most of them continued forward, this time led by Wei Wenru.
Wei Wenru sensed something calling to her from ahead, so she led a group of monkeys—no, her little followers—onward.
On the way, Nian Wanzhou was humming a familiar tune again:
The white dragon horse, its hooves facing west.
Carrying Tang Sanzang along with his three disciples.
The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures took a long and arduous one, often lasting tens of thousands of miles.
What demons and monsters, what beautiful women in disguise?
What mountains of knives and seas of fire, what traps and schemes.
Nan Yu also acted along with her, appearing as a mysterious and profound Taoist priest.
Everyone else was stunned. What was going on?
However, Senior Sister Wei was very calm, seemingly used to Junior Sister Nian's crazy antics.
Well, Junior Sister Nian is still just a child, let her play!
"Senior Brother, Master has been captured by a monster!" Nian Wanzhou suddenly took out his magic wand and waved it, shouting loudly.
"(⊙o⊙) Huh? A monster?" The others were terrified when they heard the news and quickly ran after her, but after running for a long time, they still couldn't see any trace of the monster.
Looking back, oh, it was still Junior Sister Nian playing.
Seriously, are you kidding me?
Song Yan actually managed to play along with her.
"Hey... Wanwan, our master?" Song Yan was unsure and glanced at Wei Wenru. Was this really the case?
"Second Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother has been captured by a monster! Third..." Nian Wanzhou suddenly stopped talking, dragging her beloved magic wand and walking forward dejectedly.
Following behind Wei Wenru, he fell into silence and sorrow.
The three members of Sun and Moon Valley, including Xiyin, really couldn't understand it. Junior Sister Nian was too unpredictable. One moment she was humming a little tune, the next she was playing loudly, and now she was mired in sadness.
Xingzhu explained to them apologetically via telepathy: "Junior Sister has always been this lively and playful. She's still young and loves to play. It's just that during that grand competition, our sect's third senior brother died in front of her, which left her with a great deal of trauma."
Sorry everyone~
Xiyin and the other two then remembered what happened during that competition. The most tragic disciple of the Tianji Sect had taken on everything to save his junior sister.
He died on the spot.
"I didn't expect Junior Sister Nian to have carried so much burden at such a young age. We can understand and feel sorry for her," Xi Yin replied telepathically, sighing inwardly.
After making a ruckus the whole way, Lexi noticed that her junior sister was unhappy, so she went up to comfort her in a cheeky manner.
However, they started fighting again after only a few words.
Finally, Nian Wanzhou and Nan Yu started playing around with Le Xi, while Song Yan watched from the side with a helpless expression.
It's rare that Lexi is willing to accompany his junior sister, although they still fight... but at least there's a bond between them now, and they won't fight like they did when they first arrived.
Moreover, the junior sister's appearance is now showing signs of maturing.
My daughter has truly blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
Wanwan has grown up, and he and Wei Wenru have a kind and gratified expression as if they are watching their own child make a fuss.
Xiyin: The elder brothers and sisters of the Tianji Sect are so special... They are all talented. I love it here, haha.
Finally, after a lot of commotion, the group arrived at a strange place.
The air here is filled with a strong sense of death, yet it is also intertwined with vitality; the rich spiritual energy that washes over you makes you feel somewhat uneasy.
The endless green forest concealed countless dangers and treasures. A gentle breeze carried a tense atmosphere as the group continued forward, as if something inside was calling them in.
With a "whoosh," something seemed to fly in from behind. Xingzhu, standing at the very back, flicked her long whip, sending the thing flying. "What was that? It's so ugly!"
It was a dark shadow that vanished immediately after being hit.
Then more and more black shadows appeared, and the group immediately pulled out their weapons to fight.
Nian Wanzhou didn't even need to lift a finger; she was surrounded, and those dark shadows didn't even dare to approach her.
Not to mention, there were three senior brothers and sisters protecting them.
A few reckless individuals managed to break into the encirclement and rush towards Nian Wanzhou, only to be instantly wiped out by her giant hand that appeared out of nowhere.
Then, those black shadows dared not approach them again.
"Hehe, scared now!" Nian Wanzhou laughed arrogantly with her hands on her hips, looking extremely childish.
As they walked deeper into the green forest, the surrounding scenery suddenly transformed into a blood moon, illuminating the entire forest, and a strange power burst forth from somewhere within the blood moon.
A road covered with skulls appeared before them; taking a step forward, they could feel the bones crunching under their feet.
Unidentified insects were crawling all over my legs.
The disgusted crowd immediately pulled their legs back and chopped down the insects they had pushed up with their swords.
After thinking it over, the group decided to fly over instead, since it was less disgusting. They did just that and after crossing the road, they finally saw a red tower standing in front of them.
There are nine floors in total.
"This, this is the legendary Nine-Story Demon Tower?" Song Yan looked at the tower in front of him in surprise.
This tower looks very ordinary, without any flamboyant patterns or monsters guarding it, but it has a certain ancient and dignified feel.
"This is the Nine-Story Demon Tower, hidden in the secret realm (I forgot what it's called), which no one has encountered in nearly a thousand years?" Xi Yin was so shocked that she stammered. She really did choose the right person to rely on; she even saw the Nine-Story Demon Tower.
Wei Wenru also stood in front of a black stone tablet in surprise, but unfortunately she couldn't see what was written on it.
The group decided to continue forward and soon arrived at the tower gate. The blood-red tower gate emitted a foul smell, and Song Yan tried to push it but found that it was impossible to move.
It took five people working together to push the door open.
