140: Senior, I was courting death
🕑 Added 2024-12-24 15:47:17 +0000 UTC"Really?"
Facing his suspicious gaze, Hei Xiaolian started sweating nervously. She had indeed used the body-thickening technique to "grow up," but the real reason for her decision was her guilt over the mess she had caused with Jasmine.
She wanted to make it up to him, thinking this would be a way to express her apology. However, she had planned to keep this change a surprise for him, she didn't expect him to notice so soon.
"Big brother, you're awake!" Just as Hei Xiaolian couldn't handle his gaze any longer, a flash of vermilion light appeared, and Hong'er emerged!
"Hong'er?" Yun Wuji's attention shifted to Hong'er, and he no longer paid any mind to Hei Xiaolian.
'Fortunately!' Hei Xiaolian let out a sigh of relief, patting her chest. For the first time, she felt a strange sense of gratitude toward this annoying girl.
In the past, no matter how she tried to scam this little girl, Hei Xiaolian always ended up with a blood pressure spike. This girl's words were poison in so many ways! Looking at Hong'er, Hei Xiaolian couldn't help but start to miss Jasmine.
That stupid tsundere was just too cute and easy to scam!
"Big brother, are you alright?!" When Hong'er appeared, she first circled around him, examining him with her big eyes, then stopped in front of him and asked.
"Hmm, I'm fine now," Yun Wuji nodded with a gentle smile, feeling warm that this little girl had finally learned to show concern for her master.
"Good!" Hong'er exclaimed loudly, then placed her hands on her hips and demanded, "Give me something yummy to eat! You slept for so long and left a beautiful young lady like me starving! You're really a bad big brother!"
"..." Black lines appeared on Yun Wuji's forehead. He covered his face with his hand, then pulled out a few swords from his storage and handed them to her.
"Haha, so delicious! I knew Big Brother is the best!" Hong'er held the sword in her hands, munching on it with her mouth. Every time she bit down, large chunks of the sword disappeared!
"This little brat is ridiculous!" Hei Xiaolian whispered. No matter how many times she saw the scene of a little girl eating profound swords as if they were soft cakes, it never failed to amaze her.
"Little sister, Hong'er is not a brat! I am Hong'er, the beautiful Hong'er!" Hong'er stopped eating, sized Hei Xiaolian up with her vermilion eyes and spoke with the tone of an elder advising a junior. "You need to eat too! Look at yourself, you're so tiny! No man will like you. You'll live alone with no husband or children, with only a small cat you'll call your daughter!"
Critical Damage! Hei Xiaolian - 100,000 HP!
"You..." Hei Xiaolian's eyes widened. She was used to this girl's innocent yet vicious words, but this... this was on another level! It completely pierced through her defenses!
Hong'er ignored Hei Xiaolian and resumed eating. After finishing her meal, she stretched her waist and yawned, then said with sleepy eyes, "Big brother, Hong'er is so full, so I should go back to sleep... Don't be noisy and wake me up."
With that, she turned into a streak of light and vanished back into the Sky Poison Pearl.
"..." Yun Wuji shook his head helplessly, then walked over to the petrified Hei Xiaolian and patted her head. "Don't take it seriously, you won't end up lonely... hmm, at most, I'll get a dog for you. Yeah, dogs are more faithful."
"Fuuuck!!! I will remember this grudge!" Hei Xiaolian finally broke, letting out a cry before running away in tears.
"Why does this situation feel familiar?" Yun Wuji thought, sensing a strange dΓ©jΓ vu, but he couldn't quite recall why. He shook his head and his body disappeared, exiting the Primordial Ark.
Outside the Ark, Yun Wuji appeared in front of a tree. He bent down, picked up the Primordial Ark, and put it away.
After that, he spread his senses to scan his surroundings. A few moments later, he realized he was in an uninhabited mountain range. His senses didn't detect any humans nearby, only some profound beasts.
Confirming that no one was around, Yun Wuji activated his disguise technique, altering his face, body, and even his life aura. Once he was done, he took out a mirror and examined his appearance. Letting out a pretentious sigh, he muttered, "To think I have to hide my perfect face... it's truly a loss for all the living beings in the universe not to be able to see my true face."
Yun Wuji quickly left the mountain. Although he was tempted to hunt down some Divine Origin Realm beasts and harvest their profound cores, he refrained from doing so. His first priority was to figure out where he was and find a way to reach the Snow Song Realm.
The path he had designed before was perfect for him to reach the Snow Song Realm. Along the way, he had hidden many profound jades, cores, and other resources he had 'borrowed' from many generous people. If his main body wanted to avoid trouble, he could easily pay for teleportation and quickly reach the Snow Song Realm.
However, as the saying goes, man proposes, and God disposes.
After flying for a few hours, a city appeared in his view. When he was a few hundred kilometers away, Yun Wuji landed on the ground and continued his journey on foot.
Most cities prohibited flying, but of course, this only applied to weaklings. A Divine Spirit or Divine King could still fly without question, who would dare to challenge him?
As he approached the city, Yun Wuji was faced with another important problem, he didn't have the fees to enter!
When he was on the Blue Pole Star, he had absorbed all the crystals there, barely collecting 35kg for Jasmine to use. Now, he didn't have anything on him!
He had never considered this problem because he had already prepared everything with his Devil body.
"100 Purple Profound Stones to enter," Yun Wuji watched from afar as a man entered the city, after paying the required 100 Purple Profound Stones to the city guard.
Purple Profound Stones are what are referred to as Purple Veined Heaven Crystals in the Blue Pole Star, while Purple Profound Crystals are the Purple Veined Divine Crystals.
Each Purple Profound Stone weighs fifty grams.
Above the Purple Profound Crystals are the Purple Profound Jades, and above the Profound Jades are the God Crystals and Jades, as well as the Devil Crystals and Jades.
* 1 Purple Profound Crystal = 1,000 Purple Profound Stones.
* 1 Purple Profound Jade = 1,000 Purple Profound Crystals.
* And so on...
Yun Wuji didn't have 5 kg of Purple Veined Heaven Crystals, so he turned his attention to the people waiting in line to enter the city. His gaze eventually settled on a carriage at the end of the row. The carriage was the most 'luxurious' among the ones present, and standing beside it was an old man, his expression indifferent as he stared straight ahead.
"By their looks, they seem like kind-hearted people who wouldn't mind 'lending' a bit of cash, right?" With a harmless smile, Yun Wuji swiftly flew toward them.
"Halt! Who are you?" Seeing Yun Wuji approaching, the old man immediately became alert, frowning and shouting as he brandished his sword.
Yun Wuji ignored the shout and only stopped when he was a few meters away. With a harmless smile, he said, "Greetings, would you be interested in doing a good deed?"
"Good deed?" The old man was slightly confused by Yun Wuji's words, but he didn't care much about them. Pointing his sword at Yun Wuji, he snarled, "I don't care what your motive is. Scram, or die!"
"...Since this is your first time, I'll spare your life. But I'll let you know, I don't like being pointed at," Yun Wuji said, eyeing the sword pointed at him. He tilted his head, still wearing his harmless smile. "Put down that sword, or you might not like what happens next."
'Hmm, didn't I say the same thing just a few hours ago? I'm getting skilled at this,' Yun Wuji thought to himself, scratching his chin. 'As they say, practice makes perfect. I guess I've got a talent for this type of... 'persuasion.''
Yun Wuji didn't feel guilty doing this. He had long since integrated into this world and firmly believed in the "might makes right" philosophy. If you were strong, you could take whatever you wanted. Even though this group of people hadn't done anything to him, Yun Wuji still wanted to pick a fight with them simply because they were the least pleasing to the eye among the crowd.
Hearing his words and seeing his contemptuous attitude, the old man's expression darkened. He was so angry that his beard began to sway violently. Scowling, he growled, "Junior, you are courting death!" He raised his sword and was about to make a move to subdue this imperious youngster.
Bang!
At that moment, Yun Wuji released his aura, and suddenly, a vast pressure, as heavy as a mountain, crashed down on the old man.
Thud!
"...!!!" The old man's expression froze. His body trembled like a leaf in the wind, his knees buckling as he collapsed to the ground with a resounding thud.
He was only at the 10th level of the Divine Soul Realm, and he was merely escorting his young master to the city. Why did he have to run into this monster? Slowly, he raised his head, forcing a smile uglier than crying, and said flatteringly, "Senior, forgive me. I was courting death."
