Chapter 117 Not Competing with the Young Master
Did she not know that they had a talisman array that could transmit images?
"Whoosh—" A wisp of smoke was exhaled from the red lips, spreading and filling the hall. A slender hand held a long, thin, bright red pipe-like vessel and tapped it on the wooden table.
The previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent, all bowing their heads and not daring to look up at the woman on the high seat.
The woman was wearing a tight-fitting dress with a huge skirt that slit on the left side of her legs, revealing her fair and tender flesh against the bright and colorful lace trim. Her feet were on a wooden board, and she was tapping the ground as if it were an unintentional act.
Above all that was her striking, even alluring, beauty.
Cai Hua stared at the man and woman standing one after the other on the talisman array, something flashing through her mind.
——
Mu Jianjian's melodious explanation finally came to an end amidst the chaotic struggle that was drawing to a close. She reached out and touched Wuhen's sleeve, "We're leaving."
The three main teams had already lost many men due to the outbreak and fighting in the giant pool. Only the team led by Chong Honglian still had the strength to fight because of the presence of an alchemist. The others who came to compete for it did not gain any advantage. Only two or three people stayed nearby and refused to leave.
Wuhen was already extremely excited by the girl's so-called "live commentary" and wished he could fly to the giant pool immediately and have a good fight with many of them.
Before he could even figure out how to make his entrance from the yellow grass, the girl beside him suddenly "launched" away, so fast that she almost left a blur, accompanied by a loud shout—
"Hey hey hey, here comes the dazzling young lady!"
The girl's voice echoed in the air, leaving behind a stark, unsettling figure as the yellow grass was parted, revealing Wuhen's back. Wuhen stared blankly at the other's retreating back, completely unprepared for such a high-profile appearance.
Just like him!
Watching the girl easily kick away the still-dazed group and get two fruits, Wuhen was not to be outdone. With a wave of his hand, a giant umbrella wrapped with runes appeared, blocking the true energy attacking from others while easily occupying the edge of the giant pool and stepping behind Mu Jianjian.
"Make way, make way! This young master is here to steal the fruit!"
As if appearing out of thin air, the two quickly occupied the edge of the erupting giant pool. The people who were fighting were completely unprepared for the turn of events, and several rotten fruits were put into the pockets of the man and woman.
"It's her again!" Liu Tao looked at the girl under the umbrella with jealousy, raised her hand and said fiercely.
Were they here from the beginning?
Was it because their presence was so well concealed that none of them noticed?
This idea was shared by everyone present.
Everyone glared angrily at the two who had interfered, but they were helpless because they had already exhausted too much of their inner energy in the previous melee.
Chong Honglian narrowed his eyes, still leaning against the long pole, his gaze fixed on the girl a hundred meters away.
He hadn't even noticed the aura emanating from it.
The other party was more complex than he had imagined.
The group exchanged glances, having formed an offensive, and were preparing to attack the brother and sister.
Those two are so annoying!
What does it mean to shout before snatching rotten fruit?
Do you look down on them?
Just as someone leaped toward the two, the giant pool suddenly began to bubble up thickly, as if foreshadowing a final, massive eruption.
Instantly, everyone fell silent again, their nerves on edge.
"You anticipated this all along?" Wuhen held up his giant umbrella, shielding the two figures from view, casting a dark shadow on the ground. "You timed your intervention precisely when the giant pool was about to erupt for the last time?"
“Following your brother is the right thing to do,” Mu Jianjian rarely curled her nose, and patted her chest with her hand. “When the giant pool erupts, you won’t get sucked up and pulled by the pus if you follow behind me.”
Amusement flashed across Wuhen's eyes. He shook his giant umbrella with runes, his arrogant voice unable to conceal his smugness, "This umbrella of mine can withstand the attack of the giant pool of pus. When the time comes, follow the brothers, and you won't get hit by others."
Mu Jianjian: ...
Why was she arguing with this young master?
In the blink of an eye, a violent roar erupted from the bottom of the giant pool, and pus surged forth like a giant wave, shooting into the sky at a height of up to a thousand meters, a truly spectacular sight.
"Ta-da!"
The large, rune-patterned umbrella, held by Wuhen, stood horizontally in front of the two. After colliding with the incoming pus, it emitted a flash of purple light that caused temporary blindness in people's eyes. Meanwhile, at the edge of the giant pool, the cultivators displayed their various supernatural abilities to deal with this dramatic change.
Mu Jianjian turned her head slightly and glanced at the Chonghonglian team without making a sound.
The dark wooden pole stood horizontally in front of Chonghonglian's group, forming a transparent barrier that kept the pus out despite having no point of contact with it.
She stared thoughtfully at the dark wooden pole.
——
Saint Lotus Pavilion.
"Why has Tao Xian been coming to your place every day lately?" Ye Wuluo asked, a hint of jealousy creeping into his eyes as he watched the woman's back as she looked out the window.
Ever since he came out of the Xuan Tian Secret Realm, the other party had kept their distance from him. This ambiguous relationship made him uncomfortable, but he had no way to vent his frustration.
He deeply reflected on his actions and had been making changes for her, but she didn't seem to care about his compensation; her attitude remained unchanged, as if he were treating someone—
A familiar stranger.
Ye Wuluo kept telling herself to wait patiently, but she felt like she was going crazy from the constant torment. Today, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and came to Sang Wanyue's residence.
Why can Tao Xian come to see her every day, but he can't?
“She came to me with a question,” Sang Wanyue said, gazing at the fairy-tale scenery outside the window before lowering her eyes to look at her severely porcelainized left arm. “Miss Tao is your junior sister, how could I dare to refuse her?”
If the other person hadn't spoken so calmly, Ye Wulu would have almost thought they were jealous.
Having spent several months with the woman in the secret realm of the spirit world, he knew that Sang Wanyue had long since lost all feelings for him.
When they first met, she was trapped in her inner demons and called out his name in an illusion. However, she in the spirit world easily broke free from her inner demons and greatly increased her strength, unlike him who was struggling alone, immersed in his memories.
"Little Yue'er, you were seriously injured in the Secret Realm Spirit World. After I make the arrangements in a few days, you can enter the Lotus Spring to treat your porcelain arm. Just rest well these days and don't worry about these things. I will take care of everything." Ye Wuluo's tone softened.
Sang Wanyue's delicate face appeared somber behind the shadow cast by the wooden beam outside the window. She was calculating the timeline by thinking about the recent news from the Xuan Shuang Sect. Hearing the other party's words of comfort, she nodded and chuckled inwardly.
She remembered clearly that her lucidity in her previous life was similar to that in her current life. It was also the first time she entered the Sacred Lotus Pavilion that Tao Xian would come to find her every day under the pretext of discussing cultivation techniques.
However, the difference is that in her previous life, she was wearing a dress and naturally suffered from Tao Xian's malicious targeting and provocation. She was still foolishly thinking that the other party sincerely wanted to ask her for advice. When she learned the other party's true face and told Ye Wuluo, what did she get in return?
That night, Wu Luo said, "She's still young, you don't need to care about her."
Now that she doesn't care about him anymore, this guy is clinging to her.
Humans are just like that, so perverse.
