Chapter 23
Another few days of travel.
The closer you get to the border of the secret realm, the more high-level monsters you will encounter.
It was as if they knew that the world they had lived in for so long was about to be destroyed. They completely lost their minds and killed all living things that passed by.
The Qingshan Sword Sect's good luck probably disappeared when they set out to the border in search of a glimmer of hope.
As if to repay the ease they had experienced since entering the secret realm, they finally suffered a lot.
Yu Tai is probably the one who lives the most comfortable life among all people.
A crazy monster?
Sorry, they are all no match for the killer god beside me.
Seeing Xia Mo skillfully split a crocodile-like monster that had emerged from the water in half, then rolled it up as if to throw it into the water, Yu Tai stopped him, saying, "Don't throw it in. It'll pollute the water source."
Hearing its words, Xia Mo stopped and used his claws to pull aside the crocodile spirit whose bones had been crushed beyond recognition.
Everyone from the Qingshan Sword Sect looked at Yu Tai with envy.
They have already experienced the absolute strength of this monster beast that can kill gods and Buddhas along the way. Facing this monster beast that Yu Tai said signed the contract by accident, they have to admit that the fortunes of different cultivators are different after all.
"Junior sister, we are short of manpower. Can you, the monster, come and help?" A nonchalant voice sounded.
Yu Tai looked up and saw that it was the cultivator who had communicated with Jiang Yibai that day.
"Sorry, senior brother, Achou is clumsy and will only make things worse. Why don't I go?" Yu Tai pretended to stand up.
The man quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't bother you anymore, Junior Sister."
If I let you go over to work, Senior Brother Jiang will kill me.
Shu Li, who was sitting next to Yu Tai, looked at him as he left. She tilted her head and glared at him, "What are you looking at?"
Shu Li chuckled softly, "It's just a little unexpected."
Seeing how Yu Tai had deliberately used him to provoke Jiang Yibai a few days ago, he thought she would let him go with her.
Yu Tai pretended not to understand what he was saying. She was emotionally unstable in the cave a few days ago, so she wanted to use Shu Li to stimulate the evil thoughts in Jiang Yibai's heart.
But now think about it, that was completely crazy. What does Jiang Yibai's evil thoughts have to do with her? Besides, if something really happened to Shu Li, how long could she hide her identity as a demon cultivator?
There is no time to lose when it comes to getting the high-level demon-repelling beads. Once you get out, immediately look for relevant clues.
Several female cultivators suddenly came over, and Yu Tai recognized that the one leading them was the senior sister who had tried to touch Xia Mo before but failed.
Xia Mo, who had been lying on Shu Li with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Naturally, he had not forgotten and was about to bar his teeth to drive the person away, but Shu Li stroked him several times with his hands and managed to smooth out his fur.
"Junior sister, we're really short on manpower. Could you come over and help? Junior sister Li observed the sky last night and said there might be a rainstorm today. It's almost dark."
The few talented sons who were once highly respected in the sect, after experiencing several days of hardships and the loss of many people, began to gradually adapt to this harsh environment. They would even use magic to build simple houses at night to avoid the dangers lurking at night.
Yu Tai nodded: "Of course it's no problem."
She turned around to look at Shu Li, wanting someone to follow her, but seeing Xia Mo snoring comfortably in his arms, she still didn't say anything.
Holding Shu Li's wrist, Yu Tai wrapped her own spiritual energy around it in front of everyone, and only then did she feel relieved.
Several people joked, "Junior Sister Yu is aloof, but I didn't expect her to have such a strong desire to control her demon beast. If they ever get a Taoist partner, and that person does something wrong, he'll be in big trouble."
Yu Tai nodded in agreement: "Senior Sister is right, being my Taoist partner is indeed a bit difficult."
If you dare to betray her, your legs will be broken, your tendons will be pulled out, and you will be locked in a dark cave, tormented day and night.
Because the rainstorm in the secret realm must be very serious and they didn't know how long the rain would last and how deep the water would be, they built their house on the tree. Several cultivators with wood-type spiritual roots used their spiritual energy to grow an ordinary sapling into a towering tree.
Looking at the simple man-made tree house, Yu Tai once again marveled at the magic of the world of cultivation.
As she was daydreaming, she suddenly felt something strange in her heart, and she didn't have time to think about it.
Everyone watched as Junior Sister Yu Tai suddenly rushed out, so fast that they could only catch a glimpse of her afterimage.
"What's going on?" someone murmured.
When Yu Tai hurried back, she saw a figure standing sideways towards her.
It was Jiang Yibai who disliked Shu Li.
Jiang Yibai stood there with a dazed look on his face, while the figure that Yu Tai was familiar with was kneeling on the ground, with Xia Mo, who looked anxious, next to him.
She immediately rushed over: "Ah Chou!?"
Jiang Yibai was stunned when he heard Yu Tai's voice. After seeing the worry that she couldn't hide on her face, he hurriedly explained: "Junior sister, I——"
However, just as he opened his mouth to speak, Yu Tai's sharp eyes swept over him with a scrutinizing gaze, deeply stinging his eyes.
"Brother Jiang, can we be alone for a while?" The cold and indifferent voice completely chilled his heart. He nodded dejectedly, turned and left.
After seeing the person leave, Yu Tai's expression relaxed a little.
To be honest, she didn't care at all whether it was Jiang Yibai who did it. It just happened to be an opportunity to keep him away from her for a few days.
Yu Tai is not a natural actor. Facing Jiang Yibai, who is very familiar with the original owner, she has to deal with this person's enthusiasm every moment, which is really tiring.
"Let me see."
She gently grasped Shu Li's obviously injured hand and lifted it up.
The limp fingers and swollen wrist showed that the hand was probably broken.
She frowned, feeling annoyed that someone had broken something of hers. "How did it happen?"
Having lost his Daogen, his body was even more sensitive to pain than a mortal. His voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was as gentle as ever, and contained some comfort as he spoke, "I was careless. I won't drag you down."
After saying that, he added: "Don't blame Jiang Yibai, it was my own carelessness."
The system said to Yu Tai: "......"
To be honest, why does the latter sentence have such a strong flavor of tea?
Seeing this, Xia Mo, who was standing next to him, pointed in the direction where Jiang Yibai had just left and called out several times.
It seemed to mean that it was that bastard who did it.
After calling, it found a fruit from somewhere and pushed it towards his hand.
Yu Tai's expression was obviously not good. Shu Li stroked Xia Mo's head, who was puffing up with anger. "I'm fine. You can eat by yourself."
After he said he was fine, Yu Tai pinched his broken hand hard, forcing Shu Li to groan, the pain unconcealed in the last syllable.
She sneered: "You call this okay? You're not a monk, your hand will really break if you're not careful."
Shu Li said nothing, lowered his eyes and let her scold him, as if everything she said was right, which made Yu Tai very angry.
Putting the pill into his mouth, Yu Tai lifted the gauze on his veil and put her lips over it to make sure he had enough water to swallow it.
As their lips and tongues intertwined, she even managed to get back some righteousness.
"What did Jiang Yibai do to you?" Yu Tai, whose breathing was still not steady, asked in a bad tone.
Subconsciously, she already felt that Jiang Yibai had done something bad to Shu Li.
