"I'm looking clearly, I'm looking clearly with both eyes! But there's no reaction!"
When Lu Shiqing grabbed her so forcefully, Luo Chu's anger flared up.
He broke free from Lu Shiqing's grasp and shouted out the details of what had happened.
Lu Shiqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his expression grew increasingly grim. He could only see Luo Chu's lips moving, but he couldn't hear what he was saying. In the end, he felt his mind go completely blank.
"Why are you taking your anger out on me when the Gu you created has gone wrong?"
"Yes, it must be a problem with the Seven Emotions Gu I refined..." Lu Shiqing murmured, his eyes lifeless, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away.
But his hands, hidden under his sleeves, trembled uncontrollably.
"You can leave now, I'm going to continue refining Gu." Lu Shiqing said this and closed the door.
"Hey!" Luo Chu, who was locked out of the door, almost got his nose caught in it. "This is ridiculous!"
He flicked his sleeves and left.
Back in his cave, Lu Shiqing sat down, utterly exhausted.
On the ground, his once upright back was now hunched over as if it had lost its support, and his face was full of despair.
The image of Shen Sangruo emerging from the confinement room that day flashed through my mind.
Looking back now, those distant and indifferent eyes make him feel as if his heart has been pierced by sharp ice.
Could it be that from that day on, she...
He was stunned, as if realizing something was amiss.
He remained in that position for an unknown period of time before standing up again and walking step by step toward the room where he was refining Gu worms.
"It's just a problem with the Gu worm's refining process; I can just refine it again... I must refine the true Seven Emotions Gu..."
But Lu Shiqing is one of the top Gu cultivators among the younger generation in the cultivation world. How could he possibly make a mistake again and again in his Gu refining technique, which he is most skilled at?
It's just self-deception.
——
After spending two days at Ninghua Sect, Chen Sanruo set off on her journey to Fengyue Lingxu in search of Qingluan Fairy.
The road will pass through a meadow called Fairy Mist Plain, named for the thin mist that shrouds it at dawn and dusk, making it resemble a fairyland.
This place is blessed by nature, nourished by the essence of heaven and earth, the sun and moon. The vegetation growing on the Immortal Mist Plain is exceptionally lush, with a richer spiritual energy than other places.
Therefore, herdsmen or disciples of the Beast Taming Sect often bring their own cattle, sheep, or herbivorous spirit beasts to the Immortal Mist Plain.
It was the time when all the flowers were in full bloom. A gentle breeze rippled through the flowers, and the fragrance of various flowers filled the air.
After days of traveling, Shen Sanruo finally had a moment to relax. She slowed her pace and strolled through the grass, which was no taller than her knees, with a lighthearted expression.
Today, Shen Sangruo, dressed in a red dress, stands out against the lush green grass of Xianwu Plain. Surrounded by flowers, she is more radiant than the blossoms themselves.
In the distance, there are some small, moving dots, some white and some yellow, which are the cattle and sheep grazing.
She was enjoying this rare moment of peace and leisure when she heard a series of slight tremors on the ground, like some kind of four-legged animal taking off running.
And it seems to be quite large.
Immortal Mist was a place where people and cultivators often appeared, and demonic beasts rarely appeared. Those that did appear were low-level demonic beasts, which did not pose much of a threat to her.
But Shen Sanruo immediately activated her divine sense and saw a huge ox running wildly, with many herdsmen chasing after it.
Oh, it turns out the grazing cattle ran away.
Upon realizing it was just an ordinary cow, Shen Sanruo calmly withdrew her divine sense; she had no intention of meddling in other people's business.
The ground seemed to be shaking more and more, and there were also random footsteps around.
Was that cow... coming for her?
Shen Sanruo raised an eyebrow slightly, pondering how to stop the raging bull.
"Moo—"
With a deafening moo, Shen Sanruo was lifted up and carried on the back of the ox, galloping away.
Chen Sangruo: ? ? ?
This cow can teleport?!
She immediately realized that this was no ordinary bull, but a demonic beast. She flipped herself up and sat steadily on the bull's back.
He quickly gathered spiritual power in his hand, his eyes hardened, and he slammed his palm directly onto the bull's back.
Before the cow could even feel the pain, an electric current traveled through her skin and flesh straight to the top of her head, leaving her charred and raw.
"A lightning-type monster?!" Shock flashed in Shen Sanruo's eyes.
"Girl! Girl, be careful!" came the panting voices of the herdsmen behind them. "That beast has gone mad!"
It seems to be under the control of the herdsmen, but how could such a monster be mixed among the herdsmen's ordinary cattle and sheep?
"Moo—"
The ox let out another moo and began to shake wildly, making Chen Sangruo on its back feel dizzy and disoriented.
She still can't understand why Niu Chuangfei would choose to create something out of such a vast grassland.
Is her luck really that bad?
While being jostled and discharging electricity, an inexplicable force held her firmly to the cow's back, preventing her from breaking free.
Although the current was not strong, the burnt smell on her hair still made Shen Sangruo angry.
"Stop right there!" Her eyes flashed with coldness as she channeled a steady stream of fire-elemental energy from her hands into the bull's body.
The bull's eyes were filled with terror, yet it still couldn't control the release of electric current.
Neither side was willing to stop, and for a moment the smell of burnt hair and the aroma of roasted meat filled the air.
Although the cow had thick skin and tough flesh, it couldn't withstand Chen Sangruo's constant roasting over the fire, and soon began to moo in pain.
"If you don't stop, I'll roast you into beef jerky!" Chen Sangruo shouted, and the flames in her hand suddenly intensified.
"Sprinkle on cumin powder and chili powder, grill it until it sizzles and drips with oil, and even the neighbor's kids are drooling with envy," she chuckled mischievously.
Her words reached the bull's ears like the whispers of a demon.
Perhaps the words "beef jerky" triggered it, or perhaps it was afraid of the pain.
The ox stopped shakily, knelt down cautiously, and gestured for her to get off it.
After being roasted by the fire, its eyes became noticeably clearer, and even carried a hint of ingratiation.
"Moo moo moo".
After their recent encounter, it realized it was no match for Shen Sangruo, and decided it was best not to provoke this woman who wanted to roast it into beef jerky.
At least those herders didn't slaughter it until a year later, but this woman was able to feed it to her on the spot!
They even sprinkled cumin on it! How vicious and terrifying!
Its eyes were unbelievably docile.
Shen Sanruo touched her scorched hair and her face darkened.
Niu Niu gave an awkward yet polite smile.
"Moo moo moo!"
It apologizes, it can explain!
She raised her hand, and a line of fire snaked out, instantly engulfing Niu Niu.
The cow covered its eyes with its hooves in fear, oh no! They're killing the cow! They're roasting beef jerky alive!
But to everyone's surprise, the flames dissipated after only a few moments.
Hey, it doesn't hurt?
It secretly opened one eye and met Shen Sangruo's ambiguous smile.
I looked down.
All the hair on my body was burned off!
