Translator: Sissy That Walk

  Li Xiuchen was knocked down. Mu Ruorong opened her eyes in a shock and saw a bice figure approaching. That guy flicked his sleeve, moving Mu Ruorong’s clothes back to cover her body.

  Eyes wide opened, Mu Ruorong stared at the man.

  With hair dancing along with the wind, his graceful bice robe was glimmering under the moonlight. He wore a silver mask which engraved with simple patterns, standing there as elegant as a lotus.

  Encounter the spider, nearly lost her life, almost got taken advantage of……events were happening fast on Mu Ruorong, so, seeing the stranger approaching, the first reaction she made was becoming vigilant. However, when their sight met, she drowned into his eyes which had reluctance rippling inside. Although his visage was covered by the mask, she could still tell that there was a winsome face hidden beneath.

  Gorgeous but not dissolute. Dignified but not intimidating.

  She heard him saying, “You’ve respected yourself, but there are still lots of things out of our control in this world. Today, you can’t move, given that the poison must be dealt with as soon as possible otherwise you will die, so you have no choice but let him feast on your body. Whom, do you think, should be blamed?”


  Mu Ruorong said with uncertainty. “The spider?”


  Luo Jianqing shook his head.

  “.……me?”


  “Yes……and no. Indeed, you should be blamed. You should be blamed for your incapability, for your weakness, for you cannot conquer fate, for you cannot become the strongest one able to protect yourself from insult. However, the one that truly should be blamed is destiny. What happened today, I think, is an opportunity disguised in unfortunate. It can boost your resolution, urge you to cultivate more so that your skills could be sharpened and soon reach a higher Period. If others do that to you, I might just stand by and watch, but this guy is different. I dislike him, really.”


  Mu Ruorong suddenly smiled. She knew that others don’t have responsibility to save him. He didn’t owe her anything. She couldn’t blame him for that.

  “Tomorrow when he wakes up, you can tell him that a Third-level Demon Beast attacked you but was defeated. Then that beast left a pill behind by chance. You eat the pill and get recovered.”


  Luo Jianqing flipped a pill in Mu Ruorong’s hand.

  “Sir, I cannot move any parts of my body except my hand.”


  Now Luo Jianqing finally found out Mu Ruorong has used her last bit of strength on brandishing the scimitar trying to drive Li Xiuchen away. Luo Jianqing let the pill fly into Mu Ruorong’s mouth. The pill melted immediately, the power of pill was healing her body.

  One hour later, Mu Ruorong got back control of her body except her legs. She cupped her hands to pay respect to Luo Jianqing, “thank you for your help!”


  Luo Jianqing smiled, “never mind, it costs nothing for me to save you.”


  Mu Ruorong was stunned. In a blink, Luo Jianqing disappeared into the vast darkness, leaving behind some words, “the pill I give you was also in that guy’s Interspatial Ring. Don’t ask me why I know. It’s your choice to decide trusting me or not.”


  Next morning, Li Xiuchen slowly woke up. Mu Ruorong already put on her clothes, and was packing her stuff. Seeing Li Xiuchen come to his senses, Mu Ruorong told him what happened as Luo Jianqing instructed her. After that, she said, “most of my injuries were healed already. Cultivator Li, I decided to go back to the town. See you.”


  Li Xiuchen was speechless, “Cultivator Mu, you……”


  Mu Ruorong stood up and bowed down, “Cultivator Li, I must leave now, see you later.”


  She turned back without any hesitation. Li Xiuchen tried to reach her wrist but was threatened by her bleak scimitars.

  Under the sunlight, Mu Ruorong’s beautiful face showed only coldness. She looked at Li Xiuchen and said this word by word, “Cultivator Li, I respect Tai Hua Mountain, but that doesn’t mean I fear Tai Hua Mountain!”


  Heard this, Li Xiuchen couldn’t move anymore. Mu Ruorong walked away.

  Fist clenched, Li Xiuchen yelled at Mu Ruorong, “Cultivator Mu! I am Li Xiuchen, an inner door disciple of Tai Hua Mountain’s Hao Ming Peak. You can drop by if you happen to visit Tai Hua Mountain!” As long as they can meet again, there was still chance to win her heart!

  Li Xiuchen had no idea that this was not a matter of chance but a matter of loathing. However, heard his words, Mu Ruorong suddenly stopped and responded, “Sure, thanks for your generosity.”


  Li Xiuchen was complacent. “Well, looks like she still likes me. Of course, although we didn’t do anything, I still saved her twice. Yep, don’t panic, there’s chance.”


  Watched the whole thing happened, Luo Jianqing was shocked. He thought Mu Ruorong felt nothing towards Li Xiuchen except detest, then why did she accept his invite? Could it be……the book’s plots cannot be changed? No. If so, little sister must be reminded, can’t let her step into danger anymore.

  Three days later, Li Xiuchen killed every Fourth-level Demon Beast he encountered and collected many treasures. He once even met two Fifth-level Demon Beasts. Fortunately, he got the instruments that Guang Lingzi gave him, so he wasn’t harmed a hair.

  Luo Jianqing was counting down days, preparing for that drastic fight.

  At the same time, Mu Ruorong got back to Thirty-nine Town, taking a break. She went to the hotel where she confronted that five common cultivators. She ordered meal but kept holding the chopsticks in her hand in a daze, didn’t eat at all. She lost in her mind.

  “I have to respect myself.”


  “I have to cultivate more, being able to fight with destiny when it is unfair.”


  “I have to repay his kindness. I have to……meet him again!”


  “He seems to know a lot about Li Xiuchen, an acquaintance, maybe. Li Xiuchen is an inner-door disciple of Tai Hua Mountain. Then……maybe……maybe he’s from Tai Hua Mountain as well! I can enter Tai Hua Mountain through Li Xiuchen, perhaps……I can see him again this way!”


  Thinking about this, Mu Ruorong’s gorgeous face flashed with a wisp of eagerness and shyness. This girl who spent many years slaughtering beasts in the Wan Shou Peak showed a rare sign of falling in love, making her visage more charming and beautiful.

  At this moment, in the Wan Shou Peak, Luo Jianqing suddenly coughed. “Why am I choking?”


  Li Xiuchen who had no idea what happened was escaping for his life while screaming loudly.

  Disgusted, Luo Jianqing watched Li Xiuchen who was chased by a Fourth-level Demon Beast. He noticed the powerful instruments he was holding. Luo Jianqing really wanted to roll his eyes.

  Suddenly, a powerful whirlwind embraced them, covered everything into darkness!

  Luo Jianqing took pains to open his eyes, making his way toward Li Xiuchen. When he almost got to him, the wind took Li Xiuchen up to the sky along with Luo Jianqing who was standing nearby!

  This wind contained tremendous power in it. Among all the wind Luo Jianqing encountered in his life, only the Gang Wind from the Ninth Layer of the Liu Yan Valley was stronger than this one. Luo Jianqing tried his best to fight with vast Spiritual Power contained in the wind, but still lost his consciousness little by little. When he woke up, he heard a shrill laugh. “Ho Ha Ha Ha, Qing Jun, today is the day when you are the weakest in a hundred year. I will beat you into your original pill form and swallow you into my stomach!”


  Whirlwind was summoned. Forest was shaking and waving as fragile grass.

  Luo Jianqing was still dizzy. He heard someone playing a bright dulcet song. The song stopped after a while. Along with a calm graceful manner, someone spoke, “what is transform? What is origin? Gold Sun Heaven Live Flood Dragon, you are not whom I am waiting for, then why do you desire for something that not belongs to you?”


  “Shut up! Qing Jun, today I will have you swallowed!”


  “Well, bring it on.”
