Hearing the anger in the wind.
Wu Duantian and Zhao Lingtian’s faces darkened instantly.
“Senior, has this junior offended you in any way? I am a stranger to you, there is no need for such humiliation, is there?”
Zhao Lingtian was不服气.
Where wouldn’t someone of his caliber be treated with respect?
His dantian had been injured by a Demon Cultivator. As a grand master at the late stage of Transformation, his master Wu Duantian worried every day and worked tirelessly because of his extraordinary talent which could greatly elevate Bluecloud Sect’s future.
When has he ever been cursed like this?
Even just a single word “get lost,” made Zhao Lingtian feel embarrassed.
But there was no response from within the myriad mountains.
Zhao Lingtian was both angry and embarrassed. He wanted to leave but also didn’t want to give up the chance to restore his dantian, so he stood there foolishly, only able to look towards Wu Duantian for help.
“Sigh, let’s go. If it’s meant to be, it’ll be yours; if not, it means you have no connection with that Senior.” Wu Duantian shook his head and sighed. Facing this situation, he was powerless too.
If the other party were merely a cultivator of equal strength, he might still have been able to fight for justice on behalf of his disciple.
But so far, even though that mysterious cultivator had transmitted sound through spiritual awareness, he couldn’t pinpoint their location.
This indicated that the other party could make them untraceable if they wished.
From the very beginning, the other party had taken the upper hand. Their power was at least as strong as his, continuing to纠缠 would only invite humiliation.
“Master…” Zhao Lingtian was reluctant.
Wu Duantian patted his disciple’s shoulder, without summoning his flying sword, and walked away on foot, pretending to be carefree: “Let’s go.”
He felt worse than Zhao Lingtian inside.
As a master, he should protect his disciple, but now he could only swallow his anger and flee quietly.
On the other side, Lu Changtian and a group of Enforcement Hall disciples sat under a pine tree, still shaken.
There were fifty people when they came, now only thirty-six remained.
Fourteen Enforcement Hall disciples died in the battle against the red-haired zombie.
Fortunately, a great person cast a spell in the myriad mountains, splitting off a branch of the thunderbolt to take down the red-haired zombie along the way. Without the help of that great person, they would have suffered more losses trying to completely eliminate the red-haired zombie.
“It’s unknown which big shot did this, summoning heavenly thunder to sweep away all evil. Such skills are beyond our reach.” A disciple sighed.
Although Lu Changtian remained silent, he was also very admiring of the mysterious great person’s skills.
If he could meet that great person and receive some guidance, his cultivation path would surely become smoother.
“Brother Lu, after this incident, should we continue with our mission?”
“Yeah, Brother Lu, we don’t know if that Demon Cultivator is dead or not, sigh…”
Although the disciples didn’t say it outright, their eyes darted around, and their words revealed their intention to retreat. Seeing this, Lu Changtian sneered inwardly and said coldly, “The mission assigned by the sect leader must be completed. Since your conditions are poor, go back first and report the casualties. The rest will be handled by me.”
“Oh, Brother Lu, that’s not good…”
“The myriad mountains are dangerous, how can Brother Lu handle it alone?”
Lu Changtian rolled his eyes at these hypocritical pleasantries:
“That’s settled. I’ve made up my mind. I’m the leader, follow my orders!”
At this point, the Enforcement Hall disciples stopped making excuses, thanking him profusely before leaving one by one, leaving Lu Changtian standing alone under the pine tree.
“Hmph, cowards.”
“With your attitude, you’ll never seize opportunities.”
Continuing the mission wasn’t just for face or the sect leader’s order.
It was also for opportunities.
Too many people competing for too few rewards. The opportunity for an individual is vastly different from that for a group!
…
In the small house, everything was calm.
“All of this junior’s recovery of the dantian is due to Senior’s grace, I am extremely grateful.”
The girl bowed to the ceiling, having already said thank you countless times, unsure how else to express her joy and gratitude. Words seemed too feeble, saying too much felt insincere. So she hid those extra words in her heart.
“What are you thanking me for? Aren’t you my digital girlfriend!” Chen Huaian’s face lit up when he saw the favorability rating rise to 60: “Isn’t it natural for a cyber boyfriend to help his digital girlfriend? Qingran, cultivate well from now on, trample all those who look down on you beneath your feet. My life is set, but yours isn’t. Although you’re just data, data can grow. Before the official game launch, I will definitely cultivate you into the strongest female cultivator! Then even if I’m taken by King Yama, I can smile and reincarnate as the richest man in the world!”
What Li Qingran heard:
[Devote yourself to cultivation, avoid arrogance and impatience!]
“Yes, this junior will not fail Senior’s expectations!”
Li Qingran bowed deeply, her expression serious.
But deep inside, she couldn’t help thinking:
Senior is still so aloof, yet surprisingly reliable and gives a sense of security…
“Hehe.” She couldn’t help but chuckle, then immediately resumed her serious demeanor, taking out a string of beads from her storage ring.
The beads were made from spirit stones, each stone polished into uniformly sized beads, looking very exquisite.
Materials, must remake something new for Senior!”
Lower-grade spirit stones were the only thing Li Qingran felt she could use.
Spirit crystals were needed daily for the advanced spirit array, she wanted to use them to make transfer beads, but feared angering her Senior.
However, the lower-grade spirit stones given to her daily by her Senior seemed to be for her free disposal.
Since it’s for free disposal, let her indulge herself a little.
[Your digital girlfriend ‘Li Qingran’ has made you a small gift, it has been sent, please check]
“Wow! There’s a gift? You’re so nice, Qingran! Hehehe…” Chen Huaian in front of the phone grinned like an auntie, feeling that all the money spent before was worth it.
Even knowing it was an official gimmick, so what?
Emotional value is priceless!
He accepted it.
Meanwhile, in Cangyun Realm.
What Li Qingran heard:
[Good job, thoughtful.]
…
…
“I wonder when the small gift will arrive…”
A seven-day quick hotel.
Chen Huaian still held onto his phone unwilling to let go.
“By the way, last time that talisman was of average quality. After climbing a mountain once, the name of the true self on it was washed off by sweat…”
Thinking about this, Chen Huaian felt speechless.
After contributing so much money,
the talisman actually faded?
No sincerity at all.
Hopefully, this time the official item is a bit higher-end.
[Tsk, I wonder what this human kid is smiling stupidly at that black box…]
A pair of round cat eyes peeked out from the crack of the shoebox.
Sneakily looking out.
[Now my body is too weak, probably not a match in a direct confrontation, plus this human seems to have some special ability, grabbing my neck makes me unable to move. For safety, wait until the human sleeps before acting!]
Late night.
Li Qingran continued practicing as usual.
Chen Huaian checked his balance before sleeping, and his face turned green instantly.
Not, where’s his money?
Just two days, all the money he earned recently was almost gone?
“Looks like I have to start the second live challenge soon…”
But his leg wasn’t healed yet, if the difficulty level is lower than Mount Tai, who would watch? Or come up with new tricks, neither of which is friendly to his current disabled state.
Chen Huaian frowned, not falling asleep until four o’clock in the morning.
Moonlight crept in through the window, brushing past the windowsill and sofa, silently sprinkling on the shoebox.
The motionless shoebox suddenly opened.
Four nimble black cat paws landed steadily on the table, making no sound at all.
In the darkness, a pair of cat pupils glowed red, staring fixedly at the sleeping man on the bed.
It approached step by step.
Stepping into the moonlight.
The shadow reflected on the wall was not of a cat, but of a terrifying giant beast.
Outside the window, the wind ceased and the grass stilled,
the chirping of insects disappeared instantly.
Time became viscous at this moment…
