Chapter 61 Sharp-Point Brand Koala
"good."
Beneath Sang Wanyue's cool expression lay a sense of tranquility and detachment. She paused, recalling the grudge she had with Tao Xian in her previous life, her pupils darkening slightly.
Until a voice came.
"Yueyue, promise me you won't take any more risks next time, okay?"
Even though you're the female lead, your body can't take this kind of strain!
This time, he was unconscious for three days after breaking through the barrier; he might not be so lucky next time.
“Okay,” Sang Wanyue looked down at the girl’s bluish-purple scars, “And what about you?”
“I can do that too,” Mu Jianjian nodded. “By the way, I found a lot of pills and magical artifacts on that old man. Yueyue, would you like to take a look?”
Sang Wanyue took the bottles of pills, smelled them, and picked out some for Mu Jianjian to take. "These have the effect of delaying the poisoning. You can take them first. You can use the magic artifact yourself. Let's leave here first."
"Aren't you going to use this cauldron? You can use it to refine pills."
"No need, I have my own cauldron. You can use it for self-defense after you reach the Core Formation stage."
Mu Jianjian then remembered that in the original book, Yueyue had already taken a lot of magical artifacts when she was in the outer layer of the secret realm, including her double-patterned cauldron.
"Jianjian, if I do something bad in the future, how will you treat me?" Sang Wanyue stood up, reached out her hand to Mu Jianjian who was sitting cross-legged and almost finished eating the barbecue, and suddenly asked.
Something bad?
What bad things can Yueyue do?
She reunites with Mu's father, becomes the leader of the Xuanshuang Sect, and gets together with Ye Wuluo.
After finishing the last bite of roast meat, Mu Jianjian threw the wooden fork into the fire and took Sang Wanyue's arm, saying, "How could Yueyue do something wrong?"
This is no big deal!
“If.” Sang Wanyue emphasized.
"Then I'll treat you the same way as before."
Sang Wanyue subtly curled the corners of her lips, and out of Mu Jianjian's sight, she opened her palm, revealing a dark yellow talisman stained with blood, which she then threw into the fire.
"Your secret techniques don't seem like Xuan Shuang's at all; I didn't recognize you at all."
Having been reborn, she had always felt she would be all alone, but seeing Mu Jianjian like this, Sang Wanyue felt extremely happy—
A silly little sister whose personality is completely different from her previous life, who has many secrets to hide from her, and whose feelings are written all over her face.
"ah?"
She didn't know. Did Xuan Shuang actually have a secret technique? Does the book emphasize this?
The system was speechless. [Otherwise, why do you think they're one of the seven major powers on the continent?]
Mu Jianjian: ...
——
Ye Wuluo waited on the cliff for seven whole days.
The suppressed anxiety inside him was unlike his own. In the end, Ye Wuluo repeatedly convinced himself that he was going down to see that woman for Jianjian's sake.
He and Lan still went down the cliff and entered the cave. The array at the entrance of the cave was destroyed, and there was nothing left in the cave except for the rotting limbs and dried blood.
Sang Wanyue was not tied up.
Ye Wuluo's smile vanished. He reached out and snapped his fan shut, the sound echoing through the cave.
A chill ran down his handsome face; for the first time, he felt a pang of heartache.
——
As time went on, the toxins in Mu Jianjian's body worsened. Sang Wanyue was the first to offer to carry her away, but she refused righteously.
"Yueyue's foot is injured, how can I let you carry me!"
"The closer you are to the center of the secret realm, the less constrained you will be by the laws, and the less pressure you will feel. You don't need to worry about me."
Mu Jianjian's refusal seemed insignificant after she was almost caught and beaten by cultivators one day.
Sang Wanyue was already half a head taller than Mu Jianjian, so carrying the petite girl was effortless for her. The two of them traveled together and were already very close to the middle level of the secret realm. Along the way, they encountered many demonic beasts and troublesome cultivators, but Sang Wanyue, whose strength was gradually recovering, dealt with them all.
Mu Jianjian continues to play the koala.
The flying sand and stones have decreased, and in their place are the gray pavilions, towers and palaces.
Sang Wanyue had already gone through this once in her previous life, so she didn't linger there. She looked down at Mu Jianjian, who was "pulling" at her arm, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This place looks so familiar, I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." Mu Jianjian squinted, unable to see clearly, but a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
Listening to the girl's chattering, Sang Wanyue reached out and carefully smoothed and reattached the human skin mask from the girl's face. "We've arrived."
"Hmm?" Mu Jianjian looked up and vaguely saw a towering, dilapidated building in front of her.
The bright red-painted pavilion, its vibrant colors blending seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, stands perfectly against the backdrop of the ancient-style door. Two orange-yellow lanterns hang in front of it, their dazzling hues contrasting sharply with the gray pavilions we had passed earlier. Below, stone statues of a lion and a tiger stand, seemingly welcoming visitors.
Sang Wanyue found it amusing to look at Mu Jianjian, who was in a daze after being poisoned.
They really trust her, not afraid that she might betray them.
"Welcome, fellow cultivators, to the Vermilion Pavilion." The carved stone lion's mouth suddenly opened and closed, speaking in human language.
Sang Wanyue and Mu Jianjian understood perfectly, showing no surprise whatsoever.
Seeing the two people's "I knew you could talk" attitude, the stone lion was speechless for a moment. It stretched out its stone paw and patted the stone tiger that was not moving to the side, "Wake up, people are here, get up and get to work."
The stone tiger shook its head, scattering dust into the air. It opened its mouth wide, revealing its dark belly, and cried out, "Ah—"
While holding Mu Jianjian, whose limbs had long since lost all feeling, Sang Wanyue used her divine sense to pour all of their beast cores into the stone tiger's mouth.
The stone lion, who was about to explain, shut its mouth.
It looks really silly to you like that!
"Is this the amount you two can divide equally?" Stone Lion asked, looking at Stone Tiger who had swallowed the beast pill.
"Mmm." Mu Jianjian leaned against Sang Wanyue's neck and nodded gently.
At the same time, Sang Wanyue said, "They're all hers."
"Yueyue?" Mu Jianjian looked up anxiously, but her vision had already darkened, and she couldn't see anything clearly.
The original setting was that the more beast cores you obtained, the higher their quality, and the higher the quality of the room you would be assigned in the Zhu Pavilion.
The rooms are divided into four levels: Heaven, Black, Earth, and Yellow. The Heaven level is a single room, and so on, with the number of people in the room gradually increasing, which makes the competition more intense.
If all the beast cores were given to her, it would mean that Yueyue's room would be of very poor quality!
But she dared not reveal this information openly. Mu Jianjian already felt that Yueyue suspected her of revealing her identity in the grotto, and if she said anything more, she would only make things worse...
"Jianjian, be good." Sang Wanyue pulled away the girl's tugged hem and replaced it with her own hand. "It's alright."
"But I want to be with you..."
Mu Jianjian said she was really scared to be alone!
No apartment in the sky can compare to the sense of security Yueyue feels by her side!
Hearing the girl's sweet, coquettish voice, Sang Wanyue finally gave in and nodded.
Shi Shi recalled that the people who had traveled with him before were all scrambling for large amounts of beast cores, and even fighting over the best rooms in the Zhu Pavilion. There was no one as harmonious as this.
It turned its head to look at the two people who entered the red pavilion, its eyes showing surprise.
