LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 20:
Chapter 20: the Big Mouth Bai Yuxiao:
Screech!
The giant scorpion screamed sharply, and it fell to the ground.
Before the other scorpions could react, Gu Feng had already drawn his long sword.
Shii! Shii! Shii!
The sound of piercing flesh echoed continuously as the sword struck the scorpions.
Pale purple blood splattered everywhere, soaking the ground in sticky, wet spots.
When the sword pierced the last giant scorpion’s head, it trembled.
All the smaller scorpions retreated frantically, as if they had encountered their natural predator.
Feng Ningyuan’s hand, which was feeding antidote pills to a poisoned cultivator, trembled slightly.
The pill slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground.
Senior Brother… had reached the Golden Core Realm?
But this power seemed beyond even that of someone in the Golden Core Realm…
“Brother Feng!” The poisoned cultivator beside him called out, snapping him out of his thoughts.
“Sorry, I’ll give it to you right now.” Feng Ningyuan hurriedly placed the pill into the man’s mouth.
By the time all the injured had taken the antidote pills, Gu Feng had already returned from the pile of corpses, holding several storage pouches.
“Here.”
He tossed the blood-stained storage pouches in front of the group.
Feng Ningyuan looked at Gu Feng in confusion. “Senior Brother?”
“They didn’t make it out. There are still venomous scorpions waiting on the outskirts, so only storage pouches are left. Divide them among yourselves.” Gu Feng said calmly.
There were six or seven scattered storage pouches, but no one dared to take one.
Feng Ningyuan raised his head proudly, “Senior Brother, you saved our lives. These storage pouches all belong to you.”
“No need. There’s nothing in them that I need” Gu Feng replied, pulling up a map. “You should rest and recover quickly. We still need to go find the others.”
The disciples who had been abandoned earlier were already envious of Feng Ningyuan for having his senior brother come to his rescue. Now they were even more in awe.
What kind of divine senior brother was this?
Even in a secret realm, he still had time to search for his sect’s lost disciples.
“Mm-hmm,” Feng Ningyuan nodded and turned to the others. “What do you all think about the storage pouches?”
“Brother Feng, our lives were saved by Brother Gu. How could we possibly take these storage pouches? You should keep them.” One of them said.
“Yes, yes, we’re lucky just to be alive.” Others agreed.
Cultivators always remember favors and etiquette. They should also know what they could and couldn’t touch.
It was clear that Feng Ningyuan didn’t intend to share the storage pouches, so there was no need to provoke him.
“But in our current state, if we encounter any more beasts, we’re as good as dead…” One of the cultivators said sorrowfully.
“I wonder if Brother Gu would allow me to travel with him? I promise I won’t be a burden.” He pleaded.
Once one person spoke up, the rest quickly followed.
“Do as you wish.” Gu Feng replied without hesitation.
After all, he was already bringing Feng Ningyuan along. Having a few more people wouldn’t slow him down any further.
The green dots on the radar were all in safe areas for now.
“Thank you, Brother Gu! Thank you!” The group expressed their gratitude repeatedly.
While Gu Feng was busy finding his fellow disciples, elsewhere, Bai Yuxiao ran into Ye Fan.
“Well, well, isn’t this Ye Fan? Why aren’t you with that stunning senior sister of yours? Did you ditch her to flirt with other girls as soon as you entered the secret realm?” Bai Yuxiao mocked.
Bai Yuxiao and Ye Fan had always despised each other.
And it wasn’t just because of what happened on the boat.
Ever since Gu Feng saved Bai Yuxiao’s life, Bai Yuxiao had been completely devoted to him.
But Ye Fan always looked at Gu Feng with a hateful gaze.
This naturally made Bai Yuxiao see him as an enemy.
Now that they had bumped into each other, Bai Yuxiao wouldn’t hold back his words.
“Bai Yuxiao, your senior brother isn’t here right now, so don’t act so cocky in front of me.” Ye Fan scowled harshly.
Standing beside him were the sisters, Wen Lingyun and Wen Lingruan.
“Hmph, I’ve got a mouth, and you’re not going to stop me from saying whatever I want.” Bai Yuxiao sneered.
“But I always thought you liked that senior sister of yours. Oh well, at least Fairy Lingxue likes my senior brother. She’s barely good enough for him anyway.”
“Speaking of which, I even saw Fairy Lingxue leaving my senior brother’s room late at night on the ship.”
“Who knows, maybe—”
“Shut your mouth!”
A fireball shot past Bai Yuxiao’s face, scorching a few strands of his hair.
The smell of burning filled the air.
Bai Yuxiao was furious. “Ye Fan, you’re pushing it!”
He raised his hand, and an ice spike formed in his palm.
With a wave, the frigid spike flew toward Ye Fan.
“My senior sister’s reputation isn’t something trash like you can insult!” Ye Fan’s eyes were red with rage.
“What I said is the truth!” Bai Yuxiao shot back.
The duo exchanged blows, but neither was seriously hurt.
Only Bai Yuxiao’s clothes and hair were a mess, while Ye Fan’s body was bruised from the ice spikes.
“Alright, alright, what’s the point of fighting here? If we attract beasts, it’ll only cause more trouble. Ye Fan, didn’t you say there’s some Xuanming Mushrooms around here?” Wen Lingyun stepped in, trying to defuse the situation.
