Chapter 79 Paradise
Chapter 79 Paradise
At that moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: "What a beautiful place..."
Who would have thought that among the many islands in the South China Sea of the human realm, there would be such a beautiful, fairyland-like island? No wonder that advanced formation master set up numerous obstacles in the center of the South China Sea to prevent anyone from getting close.
Su Luo went through the events in her mind and couldn't help but admire the formation master's meticulousness.
To reach this island, one must pass through four checkpoints. The first checkpoint is a whirlpool, preventing ships from getting close; the second checkpoint is a no-fly barrier, preventing cultivators from flying across the South China Sea; the third checkpoint is the Nascent Soul stage pressure emanating from the compass, which can cause cultivators to faint and fall into the sea if they are not careful; the final checkpoint is a teleportation array.
If you're not a formation master, even if someone manages to pass the first three checkpoints by sheer luck, they still won't be able to get to this island!
In other words, the four of them stumbled upon the place by sheer luck. They happened to encounter a compass malfunction that caused the seawater to split in two, and they fell into that "underwater world" unharmed. They even managed to use their newly acquired knowledge to actually open the teleportation array.
Thinking of this, Su Luo couldn't help but touch her chin, and for the first time began to doubt her own talent.
In her previous life, she taught herself talismans in just a few months. In this life, she learned array formations on short notice and opened a teleportation array in just a few hours. Could she... really be a genius?
Before Su Luo could think further, Chu Wenqing's excited voice brought her back to her senses.
"Ahhh! It's so beautiful! This is like a paradise on earth!"
Su Luo looked up and saw that Chu Wenqing had already excitedly run forward, while Feng Xiyue was a little better and not as exaggerated, but she was still following behind him.
"Let's go check the other side of the bridge!"
Su Luo hurriedly called out, "Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing Su Luo's voice, Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue immediately stopped and turned around. "What's wrong?"
Su Luo looked up from Lin Ji's embrace and asked, "Do you know whose territory this is?"
Chu Wenqing was stunned for a moment, not reacting immediately. "What happened to that formation master we already buried?"
“Yes, that person is a formation master.” Su Luo looked around. The beauty of the place made her uneasy. “Now that we’ve trespassed on someone else’s territory, it’s best to be careful.”
"No way?"
Chu Wenqing blinked. "We've already buried him, he won't still try to cheat us, will he?"
Lin Ji retorted coldly, "If it weren't for Su Luo, we'd probably be drowning by now. Don't you think that person tricked us?"
Chu Wenqing was speechless.
Feng Xiyue's excitement faded slightly. "That's right, it's best to be careful. Since the other party is a formation master, he might also have some kind of formation set up on his own territory. We shouldn't wander around."
Su Luo thought for a moment, then found four protective talismans in her storage bag. "Come here for a moment, each of you put a protective talisman on your body, and cover your mouth and nose to prevent any danger."
Immediately, Su Luo stuck the amulet on her body and then casually stuck it on Lin Ji's arm.
Seeing this, Lin Ji smiled with a pleased expression.
He loved seeing Su Luo nestled obediently in his arms!
“No need to go through all that trouble of covering your mouth and nose.” Feng Xiyue walked over and said with a smile, “Coincidentally, I have a Breath-Holding Pill here, which can make a person lose their sense of smell for one to two hours.”
As she spoke, she took out two bottles of pills from her storage bag. When she opened one of them, a smell of stinky tofu immediately wafted out.
Su Luo found it intriguing, "A pill that tastes like stinky tofu?"
She took it casually and handed one to Lin Ji.
Lin Ji twitched his nose and smelled a faint stench, but it was still within his tolerance range, so he spoke up.
"I don't have my hands free right now. Su Luo, feed me."
Su Luo then remembered that she was still in Lin Ji's arms. At this moment, she could only move her mouth and hands, so she quickly swallowed her own pill and then reached out to put the other one into Lin Ji's mouth.
"Eat."
"Okay, I'll eat it."
As he spoke, the boy deliberately opened his mouth and stuck out a piece of his tongue at Su Luo. It was bright red and moist, and his pearly teeth were neat and beautiful, making his lips and teeth appear even more red and white.
Su Luo felt inexplicably agitated and quickly looked away, "Ahem... I understand."
She soon stopped caring about all that.
Because Chu Wenqing's reaction was too intense, almost as soon as Feng Xiyue opened the pill bottle, he subconsciously covered his nose, jumped back a big step, and screamed in despair.
"Ugh...it stinks!"
Feng Xiyue's smile froze on her face. "What did you say?"
This bottle of Breath-Holding Pills was her masterpiece! Its effects were twice that of ordinary Breath-Holding Pills! And now it was being rejected!
Chu Wenqing: "Ah..."
He momentarily forgot that his senior sister hated it most when people said her pills smelled bad! Even though they really did smell bad!
Feng Xiyue had originally taken out two bottles of Breath-Holding Pills, one regular version and one enhanced version, intending for everyone to choose freely. However, she hadn't expected her good junior brother to so dislike the enhanced version; she was determined to stand up to him!
Thinking of this, Feng Xiyue put away the normal version, held the enhanced version pill in her hand, and said to Chu Wenqing, "Junior brother, come and take your pill."
Feng Xiyue's words were as terrifying to Chu Wenqing as "It's time for your medicine, Dalang!" He broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "No, no... Senior Sister, I misspoke, I misspoke. Actually, I can just stuff my nose with a cloth..."
Su Luo, always eager for drama, egged them on: "Chu Wenqing, just eat it! We've all eaten it. Actually, it tastes pretty good, and besides, you can just close your eyes and swallow it."
Chu Wenqing shook her head vigorously, "No, no, I won't!"
Lin Ji scoffed lightly: "I've already eaten it, and you still don't dare to eat it..."
Seeing that Su Luo and the others were on her side, Feng Xiyue straightened her back subconsciously. She took a few steps closer to Chu Wenqing, holding a pill in her hand, and gave him a witch-like smile.
"Junior brother, let me help you! Just in case, you can't skip taking the pills..."
Chu Wenqing took several steps back until her back bumped into a peach tree, leaving her nowhere to avoid it. Then, with a mournful face, she begged for mercy, "Senior sister, can't I not eat it?"
Feng Xiyue was already standing in front of him. Upon hearing this, she said, "No way! How dare you say that the pills I make are rotten? I'll make you taste them!"
Having said that, Feng Xiyue pounced on him with a fierce look on her face.
Soon, Chu Wenqing's pig-like screams echoed through the woods, "Ahhh, no! I won't eat! I won't!"
Su Luo and Lin Ji watched the show leisurely. Lin Ji even took a few steps forward so that Su Luo could see it more clearly.
Amidst their bickering, the group failed to notice the wisps of red mist that had risen from the woods and were slowly spreading toward their location.
Lin Ji was the first to notice something was wrong. He abruptly stopped smiling, turned around, and looked around with a sharp and terrifying gaze.
"There is a situation!"
The group was stunned. "What?!"
