Several cultivators stood on the grass, all dressed in green robes, almost blending into the dense forest. Several green thorn vines surrounded them, yet they were not attacked. The vines, which had concealed their poisonous thorns, coiled around them as if trying to please them.
Geng Qi couldn't help but think of the beast tamer.
But I've seen people taming animals, but I've never seen anyone taming plants!
Judging from their clothes, they must be from the Yi Ling Sect.
"Thank you all..."
Geng Qi had just opened his mouth to thank them when the person on the other end interrupted him, saying, "No need. All things have a spirit. I just can't stand how cruel you are."
"..."
Geng Qi was stunned by his sudden remark!
cruel?
They only destroyed a few bloodthirsty withered vines, is that considered cruel?
He scoffed, "All things have spirits, but humans don't? They can kill and take blood, but humans aren't allowed to protect themselves?"
A young girl said, "There is a way to protect yourself. Your slaughter will only provoke them more."
The girl slightly raised her hand, letting the thorny vines wrap around her wrist. A faint smile played on her lips as she looked at them with arrogance. Then she suddenly chuckled, as if she were both proud of their self-defense methods and mocking their tactics.
To say that this girl was beautiful as a flower or the moon, not only her, but all the disciples of Yi Ling Sect who entered the secret realm were more than a level above the disciples of other sects in terms of appearance. The girl's chuckle was indeed quite charming.
But Geng Qi only felt angry!
He slightly raised his fingertips, and a few wisps of flame appeared in the air, gliding upwards like shooting stars, accurately landing on the thriving thorn vines. The vines covered in fire were like lit fuses, turning into ashes in an instant!
"ah!!"
With a sharp, high-pitched scream, the girl quickly retreated. Seeing the flames, she looked as if she had seen something terrifying, and her face turned pale as she hid behind the green-robed man.
Geng Qi calmly withdrew the fireball and smiled at them, saying, "Even raising a son can lead to unfilial behavior, so it's best to nip this inhuman creature in the bud."
The girl angrily said, "You..."
She extended her fingertip, then withdrew it as if afraid of being burned. She looked up at the man in front of her, her eyes filled with grievance: "Uncle-Master, he...they..."
The man she addressed as her Martial Uncle remained indifferent, showing no anger. He turned to look at the person behind Geng Qi and said meaningfully, "To live a life of ignoring one's mother is indeed unfilial."
Geng Qi's hand tightened slightly, but he didn't use any force. He suddenly realized that the person holding his hand was trembling. He lowered his head abruptly, recalling the man's words, his eyes narrowed, and he looked up urgently, saying, "What do you know..."
Before he could even utter a rebuke, he was gently pulled, his back pressed against Rong Yu's broad shoulder. He heard the person beside him say in his usual gentle voice, "Let's go."
"..."
Seeing his appearance, Geng Qi couldn't bring himself to ask the questions he wanted to.
Do they know each other?
Isn't Yiling Sect a secluded sect isolated from the world?
What do they know?
The man in the green robe didn't say anything more, glanced at Rong Yu indifferently, and turned to leave.
Because of the distance and the narrowness of the road, Su Mo'er stared at Rong Yu, Rong Yu looked at Geng Qi, Geng Qi looked at the green-robed man in front of them, while that man was only concerned with "communicating" with the withered blood vine, clearing a path for them.
Several people emerged from the thorny thicket. Those who had escaped earlier had already gathered in one place. As soon as they saw the figures, Geng Qi silently pulled Rong Yu behind a thick tree.
Rong Yu was puzzled and was about to look up when he felt a jolt behind him as the boy leaned forward and pressed against him.
Geng Qi tiptoed, cupped his face, and kissed him.
She probed deeply, giving him no time to react, her delicate tongue roaming in his mouth. Only after a long while did she release him, panting, and said, "I don't know what you've been through before, but now that we're in the secret realm, your mind is unstable. A slight mistake could be fatal. Don't think you're so powerful. No matter how powerful you are, you're only at the Golden Core stage here. Don't torture yourself like this. Let me tell you, if you die, I will definitely die for you. So for my sake, you absolutely cannot waver, understand?"
He finished speaking in one breath, and his already uneven breathing became even more rapid.
Rong Yu stared blankly at him for a while before slowly raising his hand, touching his lips with his fingertips, and a blush appeared on his face a beat late.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Geng Qi added angrily, "What that person said is utter nonsense, don't take it seriously, he's just..."
"Um."
A soft response came from above. Geng Qi was startled and slowly looked up, only to see a face smiling contentedly. The man was already handsome, but his smile made him even more beautiful, like snow reflecting frost, so beautiful that one couldn't take their eyes off him.
Geng Qi asked dryly, "You...you're alright?"
Rong Yu's smile widened: "Yeah, it's nothing."
"Then why haven't you said anything?"
"I just couldn't remember who that person was for a moment."
Geng Qi: "..."
What did he just do?
This person made a self-righteous and nonsensical confession, but nothing happened to them at all!
This was the first time he blushed when Rong Yu blushed; his toes slipped, and he instantly shrank considerably. His eyes darted around. "Ah, haha, it's alright, it's good that you're alright, let's go..."
"I will always remember."
"..."
He had barely turned around when someone grabbed his hand. He didn't resist at all and was pulled against a tree. The two switched places, and a shadow fell over his eyes.
"Longing..."
The deliberately lowered voice drilled into his ears, and Geng Qi felt a buzzing in his head, as if something was scratching at his heart: "Wh...what are you doing?"
