"Oh."
Baitian Wanderer neither affird nor denied Zhu Fei’s response.
But truthfully, he had not noticed anything unusual about Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue.
Thus, after giving Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue another indifferent glance, he nodded slightly, signaling that they could proceed.
Seeing this, both Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue inwardly breathed a sigh of relief.
Thereupon, they bowed to Baitian Wanderer once more, then imdiately dashed into the entrance of the Taixuan Secret Realm.
...
"Zhu Fei, be honest, did you do that on purpose just now?"
As soon as they arrived in the Taixuan Secret Realm, Ji Xuanyue imdiately spoke to Zhu Fei with annoyance.
Zhu Fei deliberately let a hint of confusion show in his eyes and asked with so puzzlent, "On purpose? Xuan Yue, what are you referring to...?"
Ji Xuanyue was suddenly livid and couldn’t help but lift her bare foot, pretense to kick Zhu Fei, while coquettishly protesting,
"Zhu Fei, you jerk! Just now, you... you were clearly taking advantage of !"
Seeing Ji Xuanyue’s reaction, Zhu Fei then purposefully acted as if he had just realized what she ant.
He dodged Ji Xuanyue’s foot while forcing a wry smile and said, "Ji Xuanyue, I think you’re overthinking it. Under those circumstances, I don’t believe you were unaware that what I said was the most appropriate response?"
"But... but..."
Ji Xuanyue’s pretty face flushed red with embarrassnt. She angrily glared at Zhu Fei and suddenly gritted her teeth, saying,
"Regardless, you were in the wrong just now; you’d better let kick you!"
"Let... let you kick ?"
Zhu Fei was dumbfounded, staring at Ji Xuanyue with an expression as if he’d seen a ghost.
Ji Xuanyue also felt her reaction might have been inappropriate and, her cheeks warming slightly, finally said through gritted teeth,
"I... what I an is that you have to let take so advantage back."
The words had barely left her mouth when Ji Xuanyue herself was startled.
Oh my! What’s gotten into ? How could I act so embarrassingly?
Zhu Fei looked at Ji Xuanyue speechless and finally, with a wry shake of his head, allowed Ji Xuanyue’s bare foot to rest on his thigh.
"I say, madam, are you satisfied now?"
"I..."
Ji Xuanyue was visibly embarrassed; she realized that her behavior was indeed a bit abnormal.
She opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain further, but Zhu Fei didn’t dwell on the issue any longer, his expression becoming serious.
He then took out a map from himself and handed it to Ji Xuanyue, saying,
"Xuan Yue, this is the treasure map copy I made earlier. Take it for now, in case we accidentally get separated later, you’ll have a precise direction to search."
Hearing Zhu Fei’s words, Ji Xuanyue finally began to recover from her earlier emotional state.
She held the treasure map, sowhat puzzled, "What’s wrong? Are we going to get separated in this place?"
Zhu Fei shook his head, "Whether we get separated or not, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely right to make so preparations beforehand."
Saying this, Zhu Fei looked around at the surrounding environnt and then continued, "Let’s go. It’s said that the Taixuan Secret Realm is as vast as a province. We have three years here, but if we don’t make the most of it, I’m afraid we’ll co away empty-handed."
Having finished speaking, Zhu Fei took the lead, following the markings on the treasure map, and along with Ji Xuanyue, quickly vanished from the spot.
...
Three months later, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue appeared in the midst of a vast expanse of mountains.
After three months of searching and following the markings on the treasure map, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue had tentatively located the position of the Ancient Relics within these mountains.
In the process of their search, along the way, they had also collected quite a bit – Spiritual dicine, ores, and various Monster Crystals, all harvested to different extents.
At this mont, the two stood on top of the highest mountain peak.
Looking at the mountains stretching out below, Ji Xuanyue suddenly turned to Zhu Fei, "Zhu Fei, do you feel like there’s sothing off about this place?"
Hearing Ji Xuanyue’s query out of the blue, Zhu Fei also furrowed his brows slightly.
Indeed, the mountain range stretched on and on, and both Spirit Energy and the environnt seed to be a perfect place for cultivation.
Yet in such a place, they had not seen any wildlife, not even the basic sounds of insects or birds.
The situation was sowhat similar to the forest within the Multi-treasure Palace at the Multi-treasure Xuantower, where he and Shui Biyun were previously.
The only difference might be that in this place, Zhu Fei didn’t feel any overly dangerous aura.
Nevertheless, Zhu Fei didn’t let his guard down at all.
He nodded slightly to Ji Xuanyue, "There is indeed sothing off, we should be very careful."
As he spoke, Zhu Fei raised his hand to take out the treasure map to re-confirm their direction.
Although all the contents of the treasure map were already imprinted in Zhu Fei’s mind, places like the Ancient Relics sotis made it useless to rely solely on mory.
Perhaps on that treasure map, there was so unknown information that could resonate in so way with the Ancient Relics.
However, just at that mont, a loud explosion erupted beneath Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue’s feet.
The mountain they were on shook violently.
Great chunks of earth began to split, boulders rolled down, and it looked as though the mountain was about to collapse.
With no hesitation, Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue leaped into the air. The next mont, however, made their mouths drop open in shock!
As the mountain began to collapse, two snake heads as large as houses suddenly erged from the rolling boulders!
One head was black and the other white, both emitting an extrely terrifying aura, their four blood-red eyes staring with a cruel and brutal intensity at Zhu Fei and Ji Xuanyue!
"Light and Dark Two-headed Snake!"
Ji Xuanyue cried out in alarm, instinctively stepping back, never having imagined that the spot where she and Zhu Fei had just been standing would be the lair of this Monster.
Zhu Fei’s face also beca somber at this mont. He was well aware that the so-called Light and Dark Two-headed Snake was a Monster naturally gifted with the mysteries of light and darkness, with a vicious and brutal nature. Once it set its mind on prey or a target, it was relentless until death.
Moreover, judging by the fluctuations of the Monster, its strength had clearly reached Level 7!
"This is going to be troubleso. With the strength of this incarnation of ours, there’s no way we can be a match for this Light and Dark Two-headed Snake."
Zhu Fei inhaled deeply, finally speaking to Ji Xuanyue with so helplessness.
