Chapter 211: Did I Like Him?
If she could find a different way to ascend and beco a Land Immortal first before the Chosen Buddha did, then doesn’t that an that Luo Wusheng would be safe?
This thought suddenly surfaced in the Netherqueen’s mind, making her pause before letting out a bitter smile.
Achieving immortality—how could it be that easy?
Her situation was even more complicated. Though she had reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, her foundation was unstable. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been so easily suppressed by the forr emperor of the Immortal Nation, who was at the sa cultivation level.
Even if she were lucky enough to find a path suitable for her, completing it in such a short ti would still be incredibly difficult.
And even if she overca all those obstacles, when facing the final Immortal Tribulation, she would likely perish, her soul completely extinguished.
In the end... Why was she even thinking of doing all this for this young man?
Was it because she didn’t want to lose soone who listened to her music? Because she found him interesting? Or because he had helped that old hag rescue her?
Her thoughts drifted back to the mory of last night, when she had been searching for Luo Wusheng in vain.
Xiao Guai, whom she cherished like family, had dismissed Elder Ape and then quietly approached her, whispering:
"Elder Sister, could it be that you’ve truly developed romantic feelings for that Holy Saint?"
At the ti, she had brushed off the question with a vague response.
But now, those words echoed in her mind.
Her gaze turned toward the young man.
Even though he had done so things today that made her utterly ashad and furious, for so reason, he seed to draw her attention more than ever before.
’Co to think of it, every ti he suddenly used that secret technique... it was always right when I was about to question him out of worry. Was that just a coincidence?’
Or... was it intentional?
If it was the latter, was this Demon Sect Holy Saint awkwardly trying to ease her anxiety in his own way?
The Netherqueen’s heart softened slightly, and her face flushed as she secretly cursed him in her mind.
If that were true, then her dear young master was truly "wicked."
Her thoughts were still swirling when she noticed Luo Wusheng looking her way.
"Well, since I still have no clear leads on my side, there’s no need to rush... Let’s focus on helping Miss Yao Ji condense her third tail first."
Brushing off the dust that had fallen on him from the earlier tremors in the cave, Luo Wusheng stood up with a smile.
"Co to think of it, this also happens to be the perfect chance for my artifact to finally ascend to a higher grade. Looks like I’m the one who’s getting the better deal here..."
With a flip of his palm, his Artifact appeared in his hand.
However, the artifact now looked dull and lifeless, completely lacking the might of a mid-grade Artifact.
When he had faced the headless Buddha statue, he had transford his Artifact into a shield wall to resist the spiritual energy explosion. All the energy it had absorbed from Little Yuli had been drained—leaving it utterly empty.
Fortunately, he had just confird with the little pink fox, who had been making soft protesting noises, that it could still be used for its ascension despite its depleted state.
Otherwise, he’d have to figure out another gift to offer her.
anwhile, the Netherqueen, her face still slightly flushed, pondered for a mont before giving a soft nod.
—Indeed, she should focus on the matter at hand—restoring her third tail, consuming the Netherkin Monarch Pill, and reclaiming her peak strength as soon as possible.
Even if she were to help this young man, she would at least need to return to the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Realm.
Perhaps even reclaim her throne in the Netherkin Nation...
Ti was tight.
’Perhaps today will be the day we part ways...’
Suppressing the emotions swirling in her heart, the little pink fox reached out her hand, and the [Phantomless] gently fell into her palm.
"In that case, this one must ask you to wait outside the cave, Young Master... The ascension thod this one uses is rather unique. she will only require Young Master assistance at the final step—to gather the forces of heaven and earth through Young Master artifact refining technique, triggering the tribulation lightning."
Wait outside?
Luo Wusheng was slightly puzzled, but he quickly accepted it.
’So, this ascension technique must be sothing that can’t easily be shown to others... so kind of secret technique?’
With this thought in mind, Luo Wusheng nodded slightly. "I’ll follow Miss Yao Ji’s instructions."
Watching Luo Wusheng’s departing figure as he left the cave, the little pink fox’s expression grew slightly complex.
< >
Luo Wusheng stepped outside the cave.
He looked up at the sky.
Soon, he would be facing another tribulation lightning...
Ever since he regained his past life’s mories, it felt like he had an unusual affinity with heavenly tribulations. This was already the third ti in a single month...
Thinking about this, he reached up and touched his shoulder—the spot where the Netherqueen had bitten him just monts ago.
’Hiss—she really bit down hard...’
She must have used so special technique because her bite went straight through his clothes, leaving a faint bite mark on his shoulder.
Even circulating his spiritual energy couldn’t remove the mark—on the contrary, it made the pain even more noticeable.
But rembering the Netherqueen’s flustered expression as she lifted her head from his shoulder, Luo Wusheng couldn’t help but think...
Totally worth it.
Especially since, just monts before that, he had gotten in a good stroke of her adorable fox ears.
A true win-win situation.
The only problem was that the way she looked after biting him was way too tempting. With those moist lips still connected to him by a thin silver thread, he had felt an overwhelming urge to lean in and take a taste for himself.
He could only bla yesterday’s encounter with Little Yuli—after that last mont between them, his mindset seed to have shifted sowhat.
Thinking about that other adorable girl, Luo Wusheng pulled out the short sword at his waist and sent his spiritual awareness into it.
[My dear Little Yuli, have you arrived at the Sword Sect?]
Almost instantly, he received a response.
[You still dare ask?! I was almost there, but then you suddenly asked to have soone deliver a letter to the Royal City! I had to turn back to a nearby town just to write and send it for you— Now, thanks to you, it’ll take at least another half an hour to reach the Sword Sect!]
Luo Wusheng scratched his head awkwardly.
Originally, he had planned to obtain information on the Buddhist sect’s sches from the Rat Netherkin and personally deliver the letter himself. He even considered using his Void Infant Realm spiritual energy to traverse the distance in one leap.
But with the Netherqueen arriving sooner than expected, his plans had failed to keep up with the sudden changes.
On another note, it seed like, after everything that had happened, Sword Fairy Little Yuli had finally stopped reacting to him calling her "Little Yuli."
’And wow, she responded instantly... She must have been holding in a lot of frustration, just waiting for a chance to vent...’
He’d have to think of a way to coax her later. After all, she was one of the few certainties in his otherwise uncertain plan.
[By the way, in your ssage earlier, you ntioned that you also wrote a letter to my junior sister. What did you say?]
[N-nothing! Just so things between girls— I-I need to focus on flying now! There are a lot of cultivators flying around near the Sword Sect, and I almost crashed into soone just now! So let’s talk later!]
And with that, Sword Fairy Little Yuli went offline.
Luo Wusheng rubbed his chin.
Originally, since the Netherqueen was busy with the [Phantomless]’s ascension, he had planned to chat with Little Yuli to pass the ti...
But now, what should he do?
He reached into his storage bag.
Inside, there was a large sack—containing the Demon Sect disciples he had captured, who had now been locked up for an entire day.
Then, making up his mind, Luo Wusheng sent his spiritual awareness into his dantian, looking at the two and a half drops of special nether blood floating within, radiating a faint crimson glow.
That last half-drop had been obtained just now, from stroking the little pink fox fluffy ears.
Yes...
He should first experint with refining this special nether blood and see what changes it would bring.
As for those Demon Sect disciples...
No rush, no rush...
