They were surprised when Yuan Chu had previously revealed that she was an Astral Realm, but now they could feel reassured.
When the divine sword heard this, he didn’t dare to speak.
The little White Dragon also said, “Mother Chu Chu is so lovable, she’ll be able to turn over any misfortune even if she runs into trouble. Perhaps a person of eminence might even come to her aid!”
Ye Chenyuan expressed that he didn’t want to speak. Could he tell them that what he was most afraid of was shady people cozying up to his master?
——
There was a time difference between both sides, with Yuan Chu’s side being way faster.
When Weisheng Ji returned from killing the scorch beasts and saw that the boundary was back, he said a few words of praise to Yuan Chu.
The boundary was now back on, but what about the scorch beasts that had already crossed over into the mortal world?
Weisheng Ji gave it some thought before saying in a low voice, “Do you still remember the forest that’s not far from here? Because of its proximity to the border between both worlds, the spiritual energy there is higher than other places and it has caused many animals to evolve into spirit beasts. Normally, no one would dare to enter, but what’s strange is that the scorch beasts also avoid that place.”
Yuan Chu said, “You’re saying that there’s something in there that the scorch beasts are afraid of?”
Weisheng Ji nodded his head, “I won’t rule out that possibility.”
Yuan Chu clapped her hands together, “Then let’s catch a scorch beast and experiment with it! We’ll test them one by one, to find out what the scorch beasts are afraid of!”
The two immediately put their plan into action, with Weisheng Ji catching a scorch beast before flying towards the forest with it.
Weisheng Ji threw the scorch beast on the ground and it turned and ran away when it saw the forest, abandoning the delicious Little Chu Chu. It was then caught by Weisheng Ji again.
Scorch beasts didn’t have any thoughts and the only thing on their mind was eating. Something that could scare it would definitely be its natural enemy.
So, Weisheng Ji grabbed the scorch beast and entered the forest. It started to struggle desperately, but once Weisheng Ji stepped into the forest, it stopped moving.
“Huh? It’s not moving anymore……”
Yuan Chu stood on her toes as she jumped around in front of the scorch beast yet it seemed to be asleep, even ignoring a tasty meal like Yuan Chu.
Weisheng Ji found this interesting. He then brought the scorch beast out from the forest, only to realise that soon after it was brought out, the scorch beast woke up from its lulled state and began to bare its fangs and brandish its claws again.
“It looks like there’s something in the forest that can subdue it……”
Weisheng Ji looked at the forest in front of him. Due to the abundance of spiritual energy compared to other places, there were many plants in the forest that had evolved. He went and gathered some plants, testing them on the scorch beast one by one until he finally found a small flower whose pollen lulled it.
As luck would have it, this flower was all over the forest, and they bloomed abundantly.
Yuan Chu was very happy, “That’s great, as long as ordinary people have this in their hands, it’ll be very easy to defeat the scorch beasts.”
The people of this land will be saved!
Weisheng Ji nodded his head, “I still have a bit of spiritual liquid that can be used to hasten the growth of this type of flower.” The two promptly made their decision and Weisheng Ji flew with Yuan Chu over the city’s moat. Yuan Chu scattered the flowers down and Weisheng Ji sprinkled the spiritual liquid. When the flowers came into contact with the spiritual liquid, it was as if they’d been stimulated and they started growing once they touched the earth. Very soon, the flowers were growing all over the city’s interior.
The scorch beasts that ran rampant in the city immediately ran away when they smelled the scent, and those that didn’t manage to run away were fixed in place. Any ordinary person would be able to kill them.
At this moment, the city’s people had already assembled and they were hiding inside Weisheng Ji’s protective barrier. They promptly knelt down when they saw the flowers falling from the sky.
Once Yuan Chu had finished scattering all the flowers, they circled the city before she got Weisheng Ji to fly above the people.
She said loudly, “The monsters will no longer be able to enter this city and they’ve all fallen under the control of this spirit flower, so everyone, kill them! Don’t leave a single one!”
The common folk were excited when they heard this and they were all itching to have a go at it, especially when they saw that the scorch beasts in the distance were indeed not moving.
Weisheng Ji let out a cough before saying, “I can give you this flower’s seeds and also the spiritual liquid, but I want a million of that monster’s brow bone. Deal?”
Weisheng Ji had never requested anything from anyone before. He had always done everything himself and this was his first time asking for a favour. Even though the ones he was asking were mortals, he still felt embarrassed and was even afraid that he’d be turned down.
Who knew that those common folk would bring out their knives and say excitedly.
“Great Immortal, don’t worry. Not just a million, even if it were ten million, we will accomplish it.”
We’ve seen your sincerity and will return it with ours. It’s as simple as that!
Hearing what they’d said without the slightest hesitation, Weisheng Ji’s heart was rather moved……it looks like it’s not that bad to be meddlesome sometimes.
Three days later, all the scorch beasts in the vicinity were cleared up.
More and more people were saved and the people’s forces also grew larger and larger.
It was at this moment that Yuan Chu felt her token heating up.
“Huh? Little Ji, it’s reacting. Does this mean that I’ll be going back soon?”
Weisheng Ji froze, feeling a strange reluctance towards parting with her. However, he knew that Yuan Chu had never forgotten about going back to see her disciple, so he could only say bitterly.
“Yeah, you’ll be returning soon.”
After he said this, Yuan Chu’s body started to rise slowly and she quickly said to Weisheng Ji.
“Little Ji, I’ll leave the things here to you. Remember to teach them how to grow the nameless flower……”
Weisheng Ji didn’t move, but his expression was very ugly, “How do you know that I won’t just leave after you’re gone?”
Yuan Chu revealed a wide smile, “Because Little Ji is a good person!”
She clenched her hands and waved them towards Weisheng Ji as she said loudly, “Keep it up! You’ve done a good deed, I’ll reward you the next time we meet!”
Saying this, she waved goodbye to Weisheng Ji.
Weisheng Ji’s knitted brows loosened up slightly as he watched Yuan Chu’s rising figure.
“The next time? Alright……you have to remember the reward you promised me.”
Yuan Chu rose higher and higher and she soon broke through the clouds. She had an eager expression on her face, but what she didn’t realise was that it wasn’t the token bringing her up, but the hairpin she had tucked away in her belt……
So when she saw Jun Liuyang, she panicked and immediately turned to run away.
However, she was currently in midair and couldn’t use her spiritual energy, so where could she run to?
With a flourish of his sleeves, Yuan Chu was wrapped up in Jun Liuyang’s red and black robes.
He sneered charmingly, “Little girl, why are you running?”
Yuan Chu was about to cry and she felt like hitting herself, especially when she saw the black hairpin fly into Jun Liuyang’s hands. Why did she take it, why did she have to pick up Jun Liuyang’s things of all things!
What Jun Liuyang liked the most was Yuan Chu’s ever changing expressions. She was fair, tender and cute so any expression she made was very amusing.
He laughed as he said, “Little Chu’er, we meet again. Did you miss me?”
Yuan Chu knew that with her current abilities, she wouldn’t be able to run away even if she removed the token, so she said with a fake smile on her face, “It’s you again……what a coincidence.”
They were surprised when Yuan Chu had previously revealed that she was an Astral Realm, but now they could feel reassured.
When the divine sword heard this, he didn’t dare to speak.
The little White Dragon also said, “Mother Chu Chu is so lovable, she’ll be able to turn over any misfortune even if she runs into trouble. Perhaps a person of eminence might even come to her aid!”
