Chapter 131 Slap him on the head and yell "You're a brainless idiot!"
“Master, now that Miss Mu has resolved the matter here, what do you think about the matter at the Demon Palace…” Old Man Wen looked at the only girl standing in the entire dark room, his tone rising with admiration, tinged with a hint of probing.
He particularly admired the other party's grasp of timing in battle and the flexibility in combining various secret techniques. From any point of view, it was extremely dazzling.
Chi Wenqing knew that he had come through the void and could not stay for long. He turned his head to look at the white-haired man outside who was fighting against a pair of master and disciple.
“Ye Xuanzhi, the eldest son of the Xuanmen Sect, is the only son of the Xuanming Immortal,” Elder Wen explained. “The Xuanming Immortal sent him to investigate the ‘Manluo’ that had flowed down from the Upper Realm during his training in the Lower Realm.”
"Why does Xuanming have such a weak son?" Chi Wenqing withdrew his gaze, his voice filled with disdain, and raised his hand to imprint a divine sense on the girl's forehead once more.
Mr. Wen: ...
As the sole inheritor of the Xuanfa, Ye Xuanzhi displayed exceptional talent from birth. Now, despite being suppressed by the bell and possessing only Foundation Establishment cultivation, he was able to defeat the two Core Formation cultivators who had been injected with "Manluo." Is that still considered weak?
Or is it that others can accompany Miss Mu, but she can't, and she's jealous?
I've never seen the young prince so childish before.

As Mu Jianjian watched the man's breath fade away, she became more cautious this time. Despite the aches and pains throughout her body, she carefully examined him to confirm his death before finally daring to relax.
[Beep beep beep~ Mission progress completed 10, 13, 15, 15/100. The host has been granted two chances to draw blind boxes. The happy ending scenario is getting closer and closer. We hope the host will work hard and return to the original world soon~]
Want to return to the original world soon...?
Ignoring the voice in her mind, she looked up at an empty corner of the dark room and smelled a scent different from the usual fragrance.
He touched his forehead.
"Why do I feel like my senior brother is here..." Mu Jianjian murmured, then interrupted herself, "Have I been hallucinating from fighting for so long... Master!"
She mustered her spirits and walked to Cai Hua's side, almost lunging at her in the last step. Looking at the brightly colored woman with her lifeless, downcast eyes, she trembled as she picked up the Xuan Cup, wanting to pour the water from the sacred lake into her mouth.
"Master, that person is already dead. Please drink this first, and I'll go call a doctor to save you, okay?"
Mu Jianjian hadn't spent much time with Cai Hua. Even when Cai Hua took her as a disciple and pulled her into her spiritual realm, it was all fraught with danger. Before arriving at the secret room, Mu Jianjian had vaguely overheard their conversation. Now, seeing the woman's gruesome, lifeless wound on her abdomen, what remained in her heart wasn't sadness, but rather—
Pity.
"You killed Cai Chu, didn't you?" Cai Hua raised her eyes, each word she uttered sounding like her last syllable.
Mu Jianjian's pupils widened, but her hands supporting the other person did not tremble. Under the other person's gaze, she slowly nodded, "Yes."
Ye Xuanzhi rushed to the dark room, praying that Jianjian would be alright.
They could have easily dealt with the master and disciple, but they knew the side effects of "Manluo" and still injected it into their bodies, instantly raising their cultivation to the Core Formation stage. In addition, the soul-absorbing ability was extremely troublesome, which is why they arrived a step too late.
He stood outside the dark room, never expecting to see such a scene.
In the dim flames, a girl dressed in charred, grayish-black clothes knelt beside a woman with a severe abdominal wound. The girl's eyes still shone like stars, and although her aura was disordered from the battle, her expression was utterly peaceful.
At this moment, Ye Xuanzhi finally understood why Bai Tuan was unusually close to this girl—
She was surrounded by the aura of the natural order, and was trusted by all things.
Sensing the atmosphere between the two, Ye Xuanzhi did not go forward to disrupt it, but simply leaned against the pillar and gazed at the girl's profile.
"Hahahaha... I knew it..." Tears welled up in Cai Hua's eyes, her alluring voice was gone, replaced by a low, hoarse sound like a lament. She lowered her head and avoided the cup that the girl had offered her, her hair obscuring her expression.
“He once used a curse on me. My brother and I can easily sense each other’s situation. That’s why he abandoned his cultivation to enter the secret realm. He asked me for help that day, but I didn’t save him.”
Seemingly realizing that the woman had lost all will to live, Mu Jianjian put down the cup, knowing that all she needed to do at this moment was listen quietly.
"I hate him so much. I've wanted to kill him for a long time. I should thank you for avenging me..." Cai Hua's voice grew increasingly weary.
That's why when she saw the girl in front of the giant pool, she immediately stopped her and took her as her disciple.
Cai Hua was referring to "you all." Did she even know that it was she and Yueyue who killed Cai Chu back then?
Mu Jianjian's feelings were complicated. If it was just hatred, then there was also some nostalgia and guilt in the other person's eyes. She couldn't help but think of the brother and sister she had seen in the spirit world.
Even though life wasn't easy, the older brother would always give everything to his younger sister and stand in front of her when they encountered wild beasts on the mountain.
"Master." Mu Jianjian looked at Cai Hua, who was trembling and in pain, and gently bent down to hug her. Although the fire around them had not gone out, the woman's body was terribly cold.
“I am not a good daughter, not a good sister, not a good garden master, and not a good master.” Cai Hua felt the long-lost warmth, and the tears that flowed down her cheeks wet the clothes on the girl’s shoulders. She was clearly one of the “Five Eccentrics” who was high and mighty, but now she was crying like a child.
Painful memories flooded back as I lay dying, fragments flashing through my mind like a revolving lantern.
“Life isn’t judged by good or bad. You also stood up and poisoned the people of the Upper Realm, trying to stop them from invading the Lower Realm, didn’t you?” Mu Jianjian hugged the other person tightly.
Cai Hua felt the warmth emanating from her body. She never expected to be comforted by a child. Something flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her lips had never been so genuine and natural. "I give you my soul."
Mu Jianjian felt as if something had been etched into her mind from the woman's fingertips, and her voice withered away in the blink of an eye, like a dying flower. She seemed to be trying to grasp something, "Master, why did you look at me with such longing earlier? Do I look like someone?"
"I."
Cai Hua said softly, leaning calmly on the girl's shoulder and slowly closing her eyes. If one ignored her severe abdominal injury, others would only think that the woman was asleep.
It was... her?
How does she resemble her?
Mu Jianjian composed herself and said, "Master, I'll see you off."
In the realm of the Yellow Springs, a woman's transparent spirit appeared on the deep yellow road, with the surging aura of the Yellow Springs water rushing towards her. She looked at the Yellow Springs Waterfall cascading down from a ten-thousand-foot-high platform and saw a flower umbrella appear before her.
Cai Hua gripped the umbrella handle, a relieved smile on her face.
Brother, I've come to find you.
——
Ye Xuanzhi strode over to Mu Jianjian, who was still holding the woman without moving, squatted down, and asked with concern, "Jianjian, are you alright?"
Mu Jianjian looked up in a daze, tears still on her face. She stared blankly at the man, opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. When she tried to ask about his condition, she suddenly started coughing.
"I……"
Cai Hua used her fingertips to let the spirit she had given her wander through her mind, and gradually emotions and feelings that did not belong to her appeared in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Jianjian, I'm late," Ye Xuanzhi paused, looking at the girl in front of him with heartache, "Leave everything else to me, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, the girl collapsed from exhaustion, but the man caught her. Startled, Ye Xuanzhi quickly called out, "Jianjian? Jianjian, don't scare me!"
Oh no, is Jianjian going to die?
It's all his fault for being too slow!
If they had arrived earlier, Cai Hua wouldn't have died, and Jian Jian wouldn't have been injured and unconscious!
Ye Xuanzhi had been pampered since childhood. As the heir of the Xuanmen, he received a constant stream of secret techniques and magical artifacts. He possessed exceptional talent, a perfect family background, and godlike looks. He was surrounded by countless admirers and suitors, yet for the first time, he felt regret and panic.
He felt an immense weight in the frail body in his arms. After laying the unconscious girl down, he subconsciously took out his divination method to tell her fortune.
With his index and middle fingers trembling, Ye Xuanzhi stammered due to excessive nervousness, "The Yin-Yang Mystic Arts... are all... determined by fate."
If Mu Jianjian were still awake, she would definitely slap him hard on the head and yell at him for being a brainless idiot!
Instead of taking the person to the hospital after they fainted, she's here fortune-telling! Isn't that just plain stupid?! She's really out of her mind!
