Chapter 55: A Bear Paw Slaps Fei La

The little panda emerged from the water, white as a glow, swaying as it took two steps.

It let Bai Yu dry it off, then sat down with a thud, its panda face looking particularly dejected.

What had it been through?

First, its tail was bitten by a nasty beast, then its ice crystal fruit was taken by Li Yang, then, then, the bamboo shoots it had painstakingly watched grow were stolen, its home was demolished by a group of sword cultivators, it was even contracted, and then it was taken by a strange brother to take a bath…

Seeing the little cub looking like it was about to cry, Bai Yu squatted down and patted its head, a little flustered: “Don’t cry, I just gave you a bath, how nice it is to be clean.”

The panda cub was trembling, it pouted, took a deep breath, its forehead clearly displaying the four big characters “I’m so pitiful.”

Bai Yu thought it was still a cub, so it should be coaxed, so he rummaged through his pouch, trying to find the candy Li Yang had given him before.

However, the candy was all gone, all he could find were the bamboo shoots he had picked with Li Yang in the spirit bamboo forest. Most of them had been dug up by Li Yang, he only had a few, which he had taken casually, originally intending to give them to Li Yang, but he had forgotten.

Bai Yu took out a bamboo shoot and handed it to QiuQiu, tentatively asking: “This is for you, don’t cry, okay?” Otherwise, if Little Junior Sister knew he bullied her beast, that wouldn’t be good.

A big, familiar bamboo shoot appeared in front of QiuQiu.

The whole panda cub froze, stiffly looking at Bai Yu, then at the bamboo shoot, its small nose sniffing it.

Bai Yu thought it liked it, so he handed it the rest: “Eat them all, anyway, they were for Little Junior Sister.”

QiuQiu clenched its little fists, the whole panda was furious.

It had already regarded Bai Yu as the little thief who stole the bamboo shoots, and with a swing of its bear paw, it slapped him.

At that time, its paw was only 0.00001 millimeters away from his chest, Bai Yu tilted his head in confusion, thinking it didn’t like taking a bath, so it was sulking.

But it was just a cub, how much force could it have?

The boy didn’t take it seriously, not even a little bit on guard.

He was slapped into the sky by the cub panda, flying out like a shooting star.

Not only Bai Yu didn’t expect it, even QiuQiu itself was startled.

The panda cub looked down at its little bear paw, wondering why it had so much strength.

It thought for a long time, all the bamboo shoots Bai Yu had left were eaten, it still didn’t understand, so it simply twisted its little chubby waist and walked back.

Eat full, go find pretty sister.

And Bai Yu was slapped into a quiet valley in the Reincarnation Secret Realm, thanks to the panda cub, he even successfully found the missing Lin Ya.

The two unfortunate fellows looked at each other.

Good news: found a companion.

Bad news: can’t find the way back.

When the panda cub panted heavily and climbed back, the battle had already ended.

Lou Qi had won.

He had also used some small tricks, making Qi Buli step on the line.

Li Yang looked around and came over to pick it up: “Where did you go?”

It ran off without her noticing, she was really scared just now, the panda cub was missing, and Feng Yao was nowhere to be seen.

Li Yang even thought it had been eaten by Feng Yao.

QiuQiu rubbed against Li Yang’s arm, hanging from it like a tree: “Bing, inging.”

A piece of broken bamboo shoot skin fell into Li Yang’s palm.

“What is this?”

Just as she was about to study it, Zhuang Churan pulled her into the icy wasteland: “Don’t dawdle, let’s dig out the ice spirit ore first.”

The spirit ore was QiuQiu’s home, it could hide it, so naturally it could also restore it to its original state.

It’s just that this vast fortune didn’t belong to the Wanjian Sect anymore.

When it came to making money, Li Yang was the first to take the lead, rushing in without hesitation.

Until only the four of them were left in this icy wasteland.

Lou Qi ruffled his fur and asked: “Did Bai Yu get lost too?”

QiuQiu guiltily buried its head, nodding at the same time.

It should be lost.

But in reality, Bai Yu and Lin Ya were quite close to them.

They were on the other side of the icy wasteland, at the edge of a quiet forest.

Clearly, they could see the snow-capped mountains, but no matter how they tried, they couldn’t get closer in that direction.

Lin Ya rubbed his nose: “Third Senior Brother, we must have entered an illusion.”

He was quite experienced when it came to getting lost.

Lin Ya said, “How about we wait here? Master Brother will definitely remember us and come looking for us.”

That was indeed a plan.

Bai Yu looked up at the sky: “What is that?”

A black dot was flying toward them.

The dot kept getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, it transformed into a beast with a sword stuck in its rear, opening its mouth to unleash a torrent of flames that nearly scorched their faces.

Bai Yu examined the beast from head to toe: “Pretty clean, and a lot of meat. Little Junior Sister should like this type.”

Lin Ya silently followed his train of thought for a moment: “

“But Third Senior Brother…”

Bai Yu reassured him: “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a Gold Core beast; the two of us should be able to handle it.”

Lin Ya’s expression darkened, and he pointed behind Bai Yu.

There was an identical beast behind him, just as clean and meaty, with a sword stuck in its rear.

Lin Ya: “We’ve fallen into an illusion.”

Bai Yu was taken aback, rubbed his eyes, and watched helplessly as the single beast multiplied into two, then three, then four…

“In that case, Fourth Junior Brother, we…” He calmly stepped onto his Qingfeng Sword, grabbing Lin Ya.

Taking a deep breath, he began to retreat: “Run!”

Lin Ya: “

Meanwhile, Feng Yao, guided by the Zhuque, quietly arrived above a deep abyss.

Black mist swirled around her, and in the distance, the roars of beasts echoed. With every step, she felt a heavy, oppressive sensation coming from the abyssal pool.

Above the water pool floated a stone lotus suspended in mid-air.

Zhuque: Tsk, it seems the blood clan got here before us and took away the illusion bells that can control the illusions.

She bit her lip: Then… are there any other treasures?

It was Zhuque who said the most important treasure in the Reincarnation Secret Realm was hidden here, which was why she came.

Zhuque smiled: Of course there are. Do you see the black pond below? It’s a spirit spring formed over thousands of years of refinement in the Reincarnation Secret Realm. Jump down.

Looking at the endless darkness, a trace of fear appeared on Feng Yao’s face.

This… isn’t it bad?

The black pool indeed contained spirit power, she could feel it, but it was deep enough that without strong bones, jumping in would likely result in her meridians bursting and dying.

Zhuque laughed: Don’t worry, I’ve signed a symbiotic contract with you. I won’t harm you.

The voice in her sea of consciousness tempted her: You’re in the early Gold Core stage, right? As long as you jump down, I’ll help you run your spiritual energy, assisting you to accelerate your advancement, allowing you to directly reach the mid Gold Core stage.

To skip the mid Gold Core stage directly? Who would refuse such a method of advancement?

Feng Yao’s eyes brightened.

Ultimately unable to resist the temptation, she lifted her foot and jumped into the pool.

What she didn’t know was that the pool wasn’t made of condensed spiritual energy, but rather the souls of beasts that had died tragically over thousands of years in the Reincarnation Secret Realm.

Black mist from all directions directly drilled into Feng Yao’s sea of consciousness, penetrating into Zhuque’s body.

With a layer of cooperative relationship in place, it indeed shared some spiritual energy with Feng Yao, helping her smoothly break through two realms.

The pool connected to the illusion, and as the black mist was absorbed, the illusion became even more uncontrollable.

Bai Yu and Lin Ya were fleeing, but behind them, the beasts were dense yet were all the same one.
