Chapter 305: I’m Yellow-Haired, Not the Female Lead!
Not only that, but Mu Jixue could also continue using her spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, Yun Zhonghe couldn’t do anything with his own powers; he could only borrow Liu Yan’s body.
Isn’t that a bit unfair? Just because she’s Huang Aotian, does she get special treatment?
“We’ll talk about that later!” Mu Jixue immediately reached out and tightly grabbed Yun Zhonghe’s hand. The grip was so strong, it felt like she was afraid he would slip away! At the same time, it made Yun Zhonghe’s heart flutter, “Do you know? After a hundred reincarnations, you and I finally got to this point. Now, we’re just one step away from breaking free of this illusion! If we succeed, we can end it all!”
Yun Zhonghe’s eyes went blank as he stared at Mu Jixue, filled with disbelief.
He felt completely disconnected because he had no memories of those hundred reincarnations. He thought he had just arrived in this illusion; everything was still just beginning.
But Mu Jixue had endured a hundred rounds just to catch him?!
A wave of indescribable emotion and shock washed over him.
Yun Zhonghe had no idea what kind of experience that was, but it must’ve been incredibly grueling. Just imagining that endless cycle of repetition and waiting would drive anyone to madness.
Yet she persisted for him all this time.
For a moment, Yun Zhonghe was speechless.
He could clearly see the fatigue in Mu Jixue’s eyes, the marks left after countless reincarnations. But at the same time, her eyes sparkled with the joy of finally breaking free from shackles—such raw emotion was impossible to disguise.
This made Yun Zhonghe start to doubt: maybe it was Mu Jixue who was truly being tested in this illusion, not him.
In this illusion, Mu Jixue was like the brave male lead, while he had turned into the damsel in distress waiting to be saved…
That thought left Yun Zhonghe in shock, but Mu Jixue wasn’t going to let him ponder it. She promptly scooped him up in a princess carry!
Yun Zhonghe froze for a moment, then began to struggle. “Hey, hey, this is… not really appropriate!”
I know this is a yuri visual novel, but I’m a guy, and I’m yellow-haired! I’m not your target!
He tried to break free from her embrace, but Mu Jixue frowned and scolded him, “Just hold onto me tightly! This time, you’re not allowed to let go!”
Yun Zhonghe: “…”
d*mn! That blasted sense of security!
He found himself getting a bit addicted to it.
Yun Zhonghe gritted his teeth; they were just good buddies! It’s not like that!
It must be the influence of him temporarily taking Liu Yan’s identity, causing some emotional turmoil!
Right, he wouldn’t fall for her that easily!
Just good buddies, just good buddies…
Just as they were bickering and the atmosphere was getting slightly lighter, an oppressive wave of powerful spiritual energy surged towards them from afar!
In order to find the missing Liu Yan, the Chen Family had really gone all out this time, sending one of their last Yuan Ying powerhouses!
This powerhouse wasn’t just the Chen Family’s backbone but was also their ace card in a chaotic world.
Having gone through a hundred reincarnations, Mu Jixue knew more of the inside scoop.
The Chen Family that appeared in Tianhai City were just remnants fleeing from other places. Their main family had long been wiped out by several righteous factions, and the few who escaped to Tianhai City were just the remnants that slipped through the cracks.
But these survivors were unwilling to sink into oblivion; they desperately sought a suitable body through which to create a powerful zombie, consolidating the combat power they urgently needed.
And Liu Yan had conveniently become their prey—a crucial piece for them to rise again.
Today, even a Yuan Ying powerhouse was about all they had left for combat, which showed just how far they had fallen.
Of course, the future would be even worse.
Sending a Yuan Ying master to capture a mere mortal girl like Liu Yan was proof of their almost insane obsession with her.
The Yuan Ying expert’s spiritual sense spread out like an invisible net, quickly covering the entire area, soon locking onto Yun Zhonghe and Mu Jixue.
Feeling the overwhelming spiritual pressure, Mu Jixue’s eyes sharpened in an instant.
Without hesitation, she swiftly made her move!
A sword was summoned! It soared like a dragon in the skies, carrying an imposing momentum, and slashed toward the direction where the spiritual energy had just surged in!
The sword light flickered like lightning, slicing through the air directly at the Yuan Ying master’s spiritual perception.
Who cares what Yuan Ying this is! No one will stop them today!
The Yuan Ying expert, completely focused on radiating his spiritual energy to search for Yun Zhonghe, sensed something was off.
He felt something approaching, but after casually scanning the area, he found nothing unusual except for the dense trees and a few passing birds.
Mu Jixue had cast an invisibility technique, making both her and Yun Zhonghe blend in.
If one didn’t know to be on guard, they wouldn’t have been able to catch Mu Jixue and Yun Zhonghe sneaking around; after all, the Yuan Ying expert was here to find a mortal, completely unaware a cultivator might suddenly jump out!
In this Tianhai City, besides the Chen Family, there shouldn’t be any other cultivator forces.
Not to mention one at the Foundation Establishment pinnacle!
Mu Jixue leapt out from the thicket, her ice sword gleaming with chilling light!
She acted without hesitation!
Pfft!
Boom!
With her Foundation Establishment pinnacle strength, Mu Jixue forcefully sliced through a whole section of the forest, the ferocity of her swordplay was astonishing!
The ice sword shot through the opponent’s protective spiritual energy, piercing directly into his chest, her ice attribute gave her a natural advantage in breaking defenses; the man never expected even his Yuan Ying level protective power could be shattered by her!
Then, without a moment’s hesitation, Mu Jixue unleashed Ice Thunder Explosion—her sword blazed with light, then exploded violently, the tremendous force seemingly ripping apart the surrounding space!
Its power was comparable to that of mid-tier magic.
In this attack, the weaker Foundation Establishment and Qi Refinement cultivators in the vicinity were either flung away by the strong shockwave or completely consumed by the aftermath of Ice Thunder Explosion, cries and wails echoing through the chaos.
“Ah! d*mn it!”
The Yuan Ying expert’s desperate scream echoed through the forest. In an instant, accompanied by a sound of something breaking, it was as if a layer of defense had shattered, something erupted, but no one could see what had blown apart.
Only Yun Zhonghe felt it—a part of the Yuan Ying expert’s Sea of Consciousness had been penetrated.
The Sea of Consciousness is where a cultivator’s soul resides; once damaged, it leads to irreversible destruction.
