Chapter 7: Fighting for the Female Host
When the Supreme Elder took Xiao Liyue and the other two and activated the teleportation array and left.
The elder looked at the empty teleportation array and shook his head helplessly: "Alas... I don't know if Yue girl can come back alive and well."
The Second Elder interrupted him: "Don't worry, First Elder. She will definitely return safely."
The Great Elder nodded: "I hope so, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the Sect Master."
On the other side, four people were teleported to the Wind Blade Canyon, which was the only way to the desolate land. Cultivators with low levels of cultivation could not pass through here at all.
The Supreme Elder was flying in front of the three of them at this time, blocking most of the attacks from the front for them, but the dense wind blades seemed to penetrate every hole and attack them. Even someone as powerful as the Supreme Elder could still be careless, and some wind blades would still hurt the three people behind him.
The Supreme Elder had a solemn expression on his face. He told them to follow him closely. Then he stopped talking and concentrated on fighting the wind blade.
The flight was extremely difficult. Xiao Liyue's good robes were now in tatters. If it weren't for the various protective magic weapons given by her father, she would not have been able to survive.
The male and female protagonists were also in a state of disgrace at this time.
Along the way, if there hadn't been the protection of the Supreme Elder, with their limited cultivation level, they might not even have been able to see what the desolate land looks like.
After flying for six days, the four finally arrived at the outskirts of the desolate land, and Xiao Liyue and the other two changed into new clothes.
This place looks like a desert. The skeletons of various creatures are exposed under the withered tree trunks. There is no life here. When the wind blows, it makes a humming sound. It is indescribably weird and eerie. It is hard to imagine how a person can survive here for a year.
"This is a desolate land. Whether you can survive here depends on your own luck." After saying this, the Supreme Elder disappeared on the spot.
Seeing this, Liu Ruxi looked at Mo Jingxuan tenderly. "Xuan, why don't we take Junior Sister Xiao with us? It's too dangerous to leave Junior Sister here alone."
Mo Jingxuan said softly: "Xier, you are still too gentle. You always think about others, but some people may not appreciate your kindness." After saying that, he looked at Xiao Liyue coldly.
Xiao Liyue's mouth twitched, and she flew into the depths without looking back: "I'm afraid of dirtying my eyes! You guys should just leave the dog food for yourselves."
Mo Jingxuan looked at Xiao Liyue's back as she left. It would have been fine if she didn't appreciate their kindness, but instead she called them dogs.
So he angrily pulled Liu Ruxi's hand and flew in another direction.
Liu Ruxi on the road couldn't help but wonder, "Don't you think that Junior Sister seems to have become a different person recently? What she says is always hard to understand."
Mo Jingxuan said angrily: "Don't mention her anymore. Whether she has changed or not, she is still as annoying as before."
Seeing the disgust in his eyes, Liu Ruxi was filled with joy: "Okay, let's not talk about her. This place looks a bit desolate, but it doesn't seem to be dangerous."
"We'd better be cautious, but fortunately we have two people, so we can take care of each other even if we encounter danger." Mo Jingxuan said.
"Yeah! That's right." Liu Ruxi nodded obediently.
Liu Ruxi thought of Xiao Liyue. Now she was wandering alone in a desolate land. Once she encountered danger, even if she had many protective magic weapons, she would not be able to hold on for long with her cultivation level in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
In Liu Ruxi's eyes, even if Xiao Liyue died, she deserved it. It was her fault that she always made things difficult for her and competed with her for Mo Jingxuan.
"A-choo..." Xiao Liyue on the other side sneezed violently. She knew without thinking that someone was saying bad things about her.
She rubbed her nose and continued walking nonchalantly.
At this moment, a skull on the ground behind her suddenly glowed red with eyes towards Xiao Liyue. However, Xiao Liyue, who had her back to the skull, did not notice this and continued walking deeper.
As they went deeper, they saw more and more corpses of fallen monks. Unfortunately, their storage rings and spirit swords seemed to have been taken away by others long ago.
Xiao Liyue remembered that the book said that after the heroine and the hero got separated in a fog, they were attacked by a group of skeleton monsters. After Liu Ruxi defeated all the skeleton monsters, she saw a huge white skeleton sitting cross-legged in a corner. She felt pity for it and prayed for its soul to be reincarnated.
It so happened that this skeleton was a powerful magic practitioner in her lifetime. After her death, her immortal soul has been wandering around the corpse, just to meet the destined person and pass on her secret magic book.
Although she was optimistic about the heroine, the heroine practiced the righteous path and was unwilling to switch to the evil path. However, this powerful evil practitioner still gave her a space ring with an extremely large capacity.
The sound of fighting coming from afar interrupted Xiao Liyue's thoughts, and she hurried over.
From a distance, a woman with long black hair like a waterfall and a white dress could be seen. Among the dancing skeleton monsters, her moves were like a dancing butterfly, which was very beautiful.
Xiao Liyue knew without getting close that the woman was Liu Ruxi. After all, only she, as the heroine, would like these fancy moves. It was a pity that the hero Mo Jingxuan was not there and could not appreciate her current beauty.
I didn't expect that after walking for half a day and going around in circles, I would still meet her. It must be God helping her.
She flew to a huge rock with great interest, sat down, crossed her legs, took out a big chicken leg from her storage ring, and ate while watching the show leisurely.
Before she left, she went to clean up the kitchen. Although she no longer needed food after reaching the foundation-building stage, she still liked the taste of food. Not only because she was greedy, but also because the food in the world of cultivation was the meat of spiritual beasts and birds. Eating it could replenish spiritual power, and some of it could even improve cultivation.
Liu Ruxi noticed Xiao Liyue when she appeared, and saw that she had no intention of helping her.
It wouldn't matter if she didn't help, but what was excessive was that she was actually gnawing on a chicken leg in front of him with an expression as if she was watching a show.
Liu Ruxi, who was strong-willed by nature, naturally disdained to ask her for help, so she just held on.
Just like that, Xiao Liyue watched her fight for a full hour before finally solving the problem of all the skeleton monsters. She yawned and spoke slowly.
"Oh, Senior Sister Liu, you finally finished the fight! It was not easy. Look at how miserable you are. If Senior Brother Mo saw you, he would be so distressed! Actually, you could have asked me for help, but you didn't ask, and I was embarrassed to act on my own!"
Liu Ruxi's face changed slightly. What a shameless person.
"Hehe... don't bother Junior Sister Xiao. If you're okay, I'll go find Senior Brother Jingxuan first. After all, I've been away from him for so long, he must be very worried." After saying that, Liu Ruxi looked at her proudly.
She thought Xiao Liyue would be jealous or angry, but she spoke with a blank expression.
"Oh! Okay! Then Senior Sister Liu, please go find him quickly! Otherwise, you will cry to death if your brother Jingxuan can't find you." After saying that, she flew down from the boulder.
Because she had found the crystal clear skeleton in the book.
So she slowly walked to the skeleton, rubbed her chin and looked at it carefully. "Tsk tsk... Even if it turns into a skeleton after death, it can still stand out among many skeletons. It seems that the owner of this skeleton must have been a powerful beauty when she was alive. It's a pity that she died young."
After Xiao Liyue finished speaking, she took out a red dress from her storage ring and covered the white bones, with a look of regret on her face.
Liu Ruxi watched her praising a skeleton from the side, looking very puzzled. What had happened to her?
Liu Ruxi also felt sympathy for the skeleton, but she didn't want to see Xiao Liyue making trouble here again, so she left here to look for Mo Jingxuan. After leaving, she always felt empty in her heart, as if something that originally belonged to her was missing.
