Book 4: Chapter 10: Your Chest Pad Is About To Fall Out
Life was always full of unpredictable things, just like this black-robed man who seemed to be controlling everything behind the scenes, yet he couldn’t expect the face slap of fate to come so quickly.
Although he said in a ruthless tone, “it’s still unknown who’s going to die”, but it seemed that even Heaven was not comfortable with his behavior, and Bai Qiuran immediately slapped him.
Just now, he watched Bai Qiuran go through the third and fourth sufferings like a walk.
In the third suffering, “the suffering of sickness”, people who took the trial had to walk in a cloud of epidemics that even could weaken the cultivators, causing their resistance to decline, and experienced the torment of illness from various diseases.
But when Bai Qiuran walked in it, it seemed as if he had entered a forest with fresh air in the morning. Seeing him walking within the plague cloud, the black-robed man not only inhaled desperately, but his complexion seemed to have become much more refreshed.
The fourth suffering, “the suffering of death”, was the most terrifying and life-threatening trial in the era of Land Immortal. It’s basically using the spatial techniques to open up a path to the Underworld and make people take a half-day tour to hell.
Of course, it’s definitely illegal to enter the Underworld without going through the formal entry procedures. If these cultivators who were sent to the Underworld were discovered by Soul Takers, they would end up in hell forever. Even if they didn’t, the Underworld was also full of dangerous miasma, demonic spirits, and ghosts.
After Bai Qiuran entered the Underworld, he was in another realm, so the black-robed man couldn’t see what he had experienced, but when he came out, it seemed like he just visited a friend’s house and having tea.
This guy even held the horns of a certain creature unique to the ghost world in his hand. When the black-robed man saw him returning to the mansion, he walked like nothing has happened and put the “souvenir” into his own storage bag.
Seeing Bai Qiuran walking into the mist again, the black robe man was a little speechless.
“How about it?”
The skull who was thrown into the darkness sneered and said:
“What did I say?”
The black-robed man settled down, glanced at the skull in a gloomy way, then said in a low voice, didn’t know whether he’s talking to the skull or himself:
“There are four more sufferings…no hurry, no hurry.”
Tang Ruowei put away the Kun Ling sword, pressed down the boiling True Qi in her body, and took a breath.
Since she began to study techniques such as surveying and mapping, she has been sitting in the office and working with people for a long time. After just venting her anger, she has reached the perfection of the Foundation Establishment stage, and vaguely breaking through to the Golden Core stage.
If Bai Qiuran was here, the black-robed man might not need to rely on the last four trials, as there would be an unstable mood. However, the structure of the Wise Immortal Cave Mansion separated the master and the disciple, and Bai Qiuran could not witness this precious moment.
Tang Ruowei knew that she shouldn’t break through to the Golden Core stage in such a place, so she suppressed the urge of breaking through and looked at the ground aside.
Over there, there was a girl who used to be exactly the same as her but with a pair of plump breasts and a curvy body. That was what she longed for. In countless nights, she dreamed that she had become like that many times, but now by her own hands, her dream body has been transformed into something that must be censored.
After looking at it twice, Tang Ruowei suddenly felt a little nauseous. The so-called “in the end all beauty become skeleton” in Buddhism was probably like this. If one day she was unlucky and died, maybe her body would become such a terrible appearance.
Fortunately, at the next moment, the formation in the mansion began to operate, re-decomposing the body into the most basic energy, entering the energy cycle of the mansion again, thus letting the girl stop her endless fantasies.
Tang Ruowei walked down the stairs on the other side of the platform. When she walked to the end, a bridge extending to the distance appeared on the edge of the platform suspended in the night sky. Tang Ruowei found that it was connected to a place similar to this platform. From there, another bridge stretched out, and at the end of the bridge was a mist floating in the night sky.
This should be an exit.
The girl stepped on the bridge and went to another platform via it.
She didn’t climb up the high platform but walked around the corridor under the high platform towards another bridge.
As a result, Tang Ruowei met an acquaintance just after turning a corner.
Li Jinyao, dressed in red and holding a pair of blades, stood in the middle of this corridor. A little blood was splashed on her face, and blood was still dripping from the blade, and beside her feet, there was also a mess that should also be censored with mosaics.
“Senior sister Li?”
Hearing Tang Ruowei’s voice, Li Jinyao turned her head, saw her, and then smiled.
“Junior sister Ruowei, it turned out to be you. It’s a destiny… The pad on your chest is about to fall out.”
Tang Ruowei was startled, and subconsciously checked her chest, but found nothing unusual. When she raised her head, she saw Li Jinyao was having a “just as planned” smile, and she seemed to relax.
“It seems to be the real Junior Sister Ruowei.”
She smiled apologetically:
“Sorry for poking your sore spot, but this is the only way I can think of to verify you… When I came here, I once encountered a situation where my fellow brother wanted to attack me sneakily. Look like there were many souls of the Land Immortal in this mansion, waiting for an opportunity to possess our body. Don’t know how many disciples have fallen.”
“What is Sister Li talking about? Ruowei doesn’t understand what the pad is.”
Tang Ruowei first denied without changing her expression and then asked:
“There is someone who has been possessed?”
Li Jinyao nodded.
“So I said…Sister Ruowei, should we act together? It’s good to have a look after each other.”
Tang Ruowei looked at the object on the ground that was slowly turning into a light spot dissipating, and hesitated:
“But to say so… Senior sister Li, you tried me, but I haven’t tried you…”
“Yes, if it can build mutual trust.”
Li Jinyao nodded without fear:
“Sister Ruowei, go ahead.”
“Then, what’s the matter with this mess on the ground?”
Tang Ruowei pointed and asked.
“This guy?”
After taking a look, Li Jinyao sighed:
“At this [the suffering of not getting what is wanted], I met a man who met my mate selection criteria in all aspects. I thought I finally meet my destined one, so I wanted to give it a try. Is he stronger than me, strong enough to protect me… Unfortunately, I seem to be too strong, so that guy became like this.”
“Well, I see, you are indeed sister Li Jinyao.”
Tang Ruowei shook her head speechlessly.
“Let’s go together next.”
