Chapter 119: The big heroine, act according to your ability
Seeing Feng Yudie suddenly start meditating and adjusting her breath, Xiao Yunluo was still quite confused, wondering what foolish things these two were up to. But she became a bit anxious when she saw Feng Yudie’s brows furrowed as if she felt uncomfortable and sweat dripping from her forehead.
“Second idiot…”
Xiao Yunluo reached out to shake her, but remembering that meditation should not be disturbed, she retracted her hand.
“What’s going on here…”
Fortunately, after a while, Feng Yudie, whose eyes closed and legs crossed, suddenly opened her lips and emitted a man with a deep voice. Her expression returned to normal.
“Hiccup~~~.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo looked at her in confusion. This idiot, despite appearing as a delicate woman, hiccupped so rudely…
Pinching her nose, Xiao Yunluo waited for a while. When Feng Yudie opened her eyes, she asked aloud, “What happened?”
“Somebody tried to attack you,” Feng Yudie said, taking a deep breath. She knelt, smiling, “I came to save you.”
“Attack?”
“Yeah, it was… someone trying to place a corpse soul on you? Not exactly a poison, what was it?”
At this moment, Xiao Tian had finished dealing with the corpse energy in her soul realm. He emerged from her forehead, hugged his chest, and explained, “It’s a corpse! Didn’t I just tell you? That person is a demonic cultivator who wants to attach a corpse soul to Miss Xiao.”
Hearing this, Feng Yudie quickly said, “Oh! It’s a corpse! You were almost possessed by a corpse just now.”
Xiao Yunluo vaguely remembered that the elders of the Xuanxing Sect mentioned that if possessed by a corpse soul, one needed to take Shocking Pill to suppress it and then force the corpse out on their own. Though it sounded simple, most cultivators possessed by a corpse soul wouldn’t realise it immediately, mistaking it for poisoning or illness. By the time they realized it, it was often too late.
Recalling her uncomfortable state just now, Xiao Yunluo showed an expression as if she had suddenly realized something and quickly asked, “Could it be that you let the corpse’s soul possess you?”
“Yeah.”
“Ah…” Xiao Yunluo widened her eyes, quickly grabbed her storage bag, and searched through it, saying, “I don’t have the Shocking Pill…”
“I…”
Feng Yudie was about to say it was okay, but Xiao Yunluo immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her away.
“Go find Master Li and ask for his help.”
Feng Yudie quickly withdrew her hand from Xiao Yunluo’s wrist, interrupting, “I’m fine. I can’t ask him!”
“Are you okay?”
“I have a way of dealing with the corpse’s soul. Don’t worry about me.”
Feng Yudie sighed, looked at her seriously, and said, “Sister Xiao, let me tell you, don’t go to Li Feng! He has a problem.”
“…”
“Li Feng will use the blood sacrifice formation at the Chilong Conference to extend his life.”
Xiao Yunluo made a strange face, shrinking her neck. She looked around, saw no one else present, and immediately frowned, reaching out to grab Feng Yudie’s face.
“We discussed this yesterday, didn’t we? How could Master Li…”
Feng Yudie interrupted, “Really, Senior Sister Xiao, it’s not just me feeling something is off. Young Master Ye told me the same yesterday.”
Xiao Yunluo paused, “Ye… Ye Anping?”
“Yes!”
“Weren’t they on a sect mission? When did you see him?”
“I met him yesterday when I went to Du Chun City to help Mr. Jiang correct himself. But that’s not important.” Feng Yudie patted Xiao Yunluo’s shoulder and said thoughtfully, “Li Feng is planning to use blood sacrifice to extend his life. He told me this himself yesterday.”
“But…”
Xiao Yunluo’s expression was puzzled as she looked at Feng Yudie. Then she lowered her head to think and asked softly, “Ye Anping came to Chilong Mansion?”
“Yes, Junior Sister Pei is also here. The demonic cultivator incident in Chilong Mansion the day before yesterday was their doing.”
Xiao Yunluo was somewhat confused as she rubbed her temples. She couldn’t believe Li Feng, an old friend who once fought against demonic cultivators, would have any connection with them.
But if Ye Anping said it…
Between Li Feng and Feng Yudie, she would believe Li Feng. But between Li Feng and Ye Anping, she would believe Ye Anping…
Regardless of how unbelievable it sounded, she would remember and not ignore it.
Xiao Yunluo confirmed, “Did Ye Anping really say that?”
“Hmm~”
“Then… what about Junior Sister Li? Does she know?”
“Junior Sister Li probably doesn’t know. The cultivator who just tried to attach the corpse’s soul to you is the well-endowed cultivator who came with Junior Sister Li yesterday. I felt something was wrong with her at a glance yesterday. Li Feng arranged for her to stay by Junior Sister Li’s side.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo fell silent, biting her lip, frowning, and thinking for a while before asking, “What should we do? If Master Li is planning to attend the Chilong Conference… it’s already too late for me to write to the elders of the Xuanxing Sect and ask them to come.”
“Young Master Ye said he has a solution.”
“Then… What should I do?”
“Just don’t do anything, Senior Sister Xiao. Pretend that nothing happened. Just be careful. The demonic cultivator attacked you, indicating you are also a target. After all, you are the young lady of the sect.”
“…”
Xiao Yunluo pursed her lips, feeling strangely unhappy after hearing Feng Yudie’s words. She didn’t want to be protected by this idiot anymore!
The last time in the back mountains of Xuanxing Sect, she had held back Feng Yudie and Pei Lianxue.
This time, she didn’t want to be a burden. But despite her unhappiness, she had to admit that if it hadn’t been for the fool just now, she might have…
“…I will protect myself.” Xiao Yunluo bit her lip and asked, “Where is Ye Anping?”
“Du Chun City, but you shouldn’t go to him.”
“Why?”
Feng Yudie, supporting her chin, pondered for a moment before answering:
“Young Master Ye seems to be preparing to defeat those demon cultivators individually. If you go to find him, he may be targeted by Li Feng. Now the enemy is out in the open, and we are in the dark. Our cultivation is not as high as theirs, so we rely only on tactics. Young Master Ye is particularly good at these things, so don’t worry.”
“Then… What should I do?”
“Senior Sister Xiao, you just need to ensure your safety. I’m going out to kill one of the demon cultivators with Junior Sister Pei and the others in a few days. I won’t be able to protect you by your side then, so you have to be careful.”
“I… I know…”
Seeing Xiao Yunluo’s response, Feng Yudie was half-obsessed and nudged her with her elbow, with a sneer on her face.
“Hehe~~.”
“What…” Xiao Yunluo didn’t know what her expression meant, “Why are you laughing?”
“Senior Sister Xiao, when I told you that Li Feng had a problem before, you didn’t believe me at all, but when I said it was Young Master Ye who said it, you immediately believed me.”
“Ah… This…”
Feng Yudie raised her eyebrows, put her face next to hers with a mischievous smile, and said with a smile:
“Senior Sister Xiao, have you fallen in love with Young Master Ye?”
Hearing this, Xiao Yunluo was stunned for a moment. Her cheeks turned red. Then she took a deep breath, raised her hand, and wanted to punch Feng Yudie:
“Don’t talk nonsense!! How could I fall in love with him?! He is my reading companion!”
“Don’t do it!!” Feng Yudie dodged quickly, avoiding Xiao Yunluo’s punch, and then laughed again.
“Senior Sister Xiao, please go back first, use your spiritual power to protect your body, and wait for me to return. I want to go find Junior Sister Li.”
“…”
Looking at Feng Yudie running away, Xiao Yunluo sighed helplessly and looked around cautiously.
“Why didn’t Ye Anping come to me… I wanted to help him too…” Xiao Yunluo shook her head and patted her cheek, “No! Ye Anping asked me to protect myself, which is also helping him.”
Xiao Yunluo took a deep breath. She didn’t know if there would be other demon cultivators watching her, but she still quickly mobilized her spiritual power to protect her whole body. Then she ran back towards her house with the sword, taking all the magic items from her storage bag. She took out the talismans and protective weapons to protect herself from the enemy, set up several layers of defensive restrictions in her bedroom, and hid under the quilt.
“Well… protect yourself.”
