Just a moment after Hua Tingxuan left, something unexpected happened.
A few starving ghosts appeared from nowhere and chased the monks for food, but everyone was concentrating on dealing with the zombie tapirs and were overwhelmed. Perhaps someone bumped into them in the chaos, and the starving ghosts went crazy and ran around, muttering "Have pity, please give me some food" and biting anyone they saw.
The already chaotic situation became even worse.
At this critical moment of life and death, everyone was preoccupied with their own affairs. Miss Yulou, who was carefully cared for by the male cultivators, was separated from the crowd in the chaos.
In the Hehuan Sect, no matter if they are male or female cultivators, they either absorb other people's essence to improve themselves or complement each other with their bed partners. They all practice the method of dual cultivation, and their skills such as swordsmanship and talismans are generally sparse.
Without the protection of the monks, Yulou was soon besieged by monsters and was forced to retreat step by step.
Chu Danfeng caught a glimpse of it from afar, and was so shocked that he picked up his life-saving folding fan and rushed over.
This is no joke! Yulou is his only hope at the moment, and nothing must happen to her. If anything happens to Miss Yulou, who will correct Hua Tingxuan's sexual orientation at this critical moment
Thus, among the skinny starving ghosts, the ferocious and crazy zombie tapirs, and the monks who were struggling to protect themselves, a handsome young man in white clothes did not retreat but advanced, rushing upstream towards the monsters.
The silver paper fan in her hand was flying, emitting a faint glow. She was dressed in white, with black hair like ink. Only on the fan was a peach blossom, bright and radiant.
"It's the 'Peach Blossom Fan' of the Shuangji Sect! I've heard of his strength for a long time. Today I have the chance to see him. This trip is worth it!"
"Peach Blossom Fan? Then he is... the most beautiful woman in Shuangji Sect?! I said he has a good appearance and his last name is Chu, no wonder, no wonder!"
"Brother, you didn't just know this, did you? I recognized Miss Chu as soon as she entered the village. She has such an outstanding appearance, but it's a pity that she is a man..."
"Knowing the danger, yet still fearless, Brother Chu is a real man. Stop calling me 'beauty' all the time."
"A hero saves a beautiful girl. What a beautiful story."
Surrounded by a group of zombie tapirs, Yu Lou looked at him in despair, with a strange feeling rising in her heart. She felt that this man was like a god descending from heaven, and was different from those stinky men who were obsessed with her. He never stared at her with lustful eyes, and never took advantage of her verbally. He was an aloof and cold gentleman, but at such a critical moment, he was the only one willing to take the risk to save her.
Yulou's eyes soured and she called out, "Brother Chu!"
"Stay where you are and don't move!" Chu Danfeng quickly shot out two streams of spiritual energy, repelling the two zombie tapirs. However, there were pursuers in front and blockades behind. A few starving ghosts murmured eerily, "Poor, pitiful" and suddenly floated in front of him, with yellow and red substances stained on their sparse teeth.
The red one is blood, and the yellow one... judging by the smell, it's probably feces.
This thing was so hungry that it ate everything. It had a very strong smell, and Chu Danfeng felt nauseous from the smell. However, he endured the nausea and successfully broke into the group of zombie tapirs.
The monsters were more terrifying than expected. Yulou was not the only 'captive'. There was also a disheveled girl beside her. There were two corpses lying on the ground. One had its internal organs thrown away and its inner elixir was missing. The other had been gnawed until only dry bones were left. It seemed that they treated this dark corner as a dining table. No wonder they dragged it here to eat.
Is this the secret realm of Earth Level difficulty? Is it so brutal? The original novel doesn't seem to have written so many people being killed
These monsters are afraid of fire, but unfortunately Chu Danfeng didn't bring any luminous magic weapon, and the demon pill was not always effective. After trying several times, he couldn't conjure up fire out of thin air. He could only use his own folding fan to fight them head-on.
Yulou cried, "Brother Chu! I'm here!"
At this time, the embarrassed female cultivator beside her also raised her head. It turned out to be a familiar face, the ugly girl.
The ugly girl's face was dirty, and there seemed to be a piece of skin sticking out from her chin, making her look even uglier, but there was no bleeding. She was holding a steel whip and confronting a zombie tapir. She glanced at Chu Danfeng when she heard the sound.
Yulou threw herself directly into Chu Danfeng's arms.
Chu Danfeng protected her, opened his folding fan, and fanned out a pure spiritual stream, which drove away four or five zombie tapirs, and also helped the ugly girl drive away the one that was confronting her.
"Thank you." The ugly girl swung the nine-section whip, looking very cool.
Chu Danfeng nodded at her, and a thought flashed through his mind: There don't seem to be many female cultivators who use whips. It seems that an important female supporting role also uses a nine-section whip. Who is she
But the thought was only fleeting, because immediately afterwards, dozens of starving ghosts swarmed in, and the eerie "poor things" were overwhelming, making people shudder.
Yulou hugged Chu Danfeng tightly and whimpered in despair. The ugly girl took several steps back and almost stuck to them.
Chu Danfeng also thought it was bad, but at the critical moment, he suddenly had an idea. He pushed the jade tower slightly, took out a handful of mustard seeds from the bag, and then scattered them all over the sky: "Go!"
Unexpectedly, this trick was so effective that those starving ghosts actually gave up attacking them and ran away. Chu Danfeng did not dare to delay and continued to throw several more times before finally alleviating the crisis.
"What kind of magic weapon is this? It's so powerful!" The ugly girl couldn't help but praise. It was dark and she couldn't see clearly, but she felt that Lady Chu, holding the peach blossom fan, could turn beans into soldiers with extraordinary powers.
Chu Danfeng thought to himself: This is my treasured collection, the preserved fruits from Zhang's shop, the sugar balls from Sanshengwuding Street, the rat spirit fruit from the Monster Market, and the fermented glutinous rice dumplings made from monkey wine, they are all my favorites... How can they not be amazing!
In a hurry, he grabbed the most convenient things, which were also his favorites. Normally, he would not eat too much, but now, he scattered them all.
But now is not the time to feel pain. Chu Danfeng said in a deep voice: "These zombie tapirs are too difficult to deal with. Let's break out as soon as possible."
These things are really difficult to deal with. They are as hard as iron and steel and are invulnerable to swords and spears. If we retreat a few more steps, we will fall into the territory of the human-faced spider again. That would be like being attacked from all sides. Chu Danfeng is a little regretful. If he loses his life to save someone else's wife, it would be too unfair!
Xuan'er, where on earth have you gone? Senior Brother is working hard for you, Chu Danfeng thought desperately, if I die here today, saving your wife will be my compensation to you.
At the same time, Hua Tingxuan also turned back. It turned out that Gui Yue Lao contacted Chu Danfeng the moment he rushed into the group of zombie tapirs to rescue people. They had a master-servant contract and could communicate with each other over thousands of miles.
Hua Tingxuan just rushed back and saw his senior brother standing tall and gracefully among a group of monsters from afar, with black hair, red lips, and a murderous aura... Hugging him left and right.
Yulou hung on him softly and bonelessly, while the other ugly woman lay back to back with him. Although they were in a cooperative defensive posture, their skin was touching.
“… !!”
Hua Tingxuan's forehead twitched violently, and his face visibly darkened.
He had originally planned to pretend to be injured after running away in anger, and come back to get his junior brother's sympathy, but he had forgotten all about it.
Hua Tingxuan summoned the heavy sword Xuanshui and broke through the wind.
Because of his amazing momentum, Chu Danfeng saw him at a glance and cheered in his heart, "Just in time!" - he could hardly hold on by himself.
Besides, the hero saving the beauty should of course be played by the male lead, and he, as a supporting role, should give way.
It was also at this time that groups of zombie tapirs returned.
The ugly girl snorted and closed her eyes in frustration. She knew what being injured meant now. She could fight alongside the man surnamed Chu, but she couldn't expect him to sacrifice himself to protect her like he did to Yulou. After all, all men are superficial and only look at the appearance...
The ugly girl subconsciously touched her face, and the skin on her chin lifted up higher, revealing a piece of white and tender skin.
"These things cannot be killed, let's retreat quickly!" Chu Danfeng said, and picked up Yulou by the waist.
The ugly girl watched his figure drift away and clenched the nine-section whip in her hand in despair.
But the next second, she saw Chu Danfeng throw the Yulou in his arms out, "Catch it!"
Whoever owns your wife should save her himself!
That was a tall young man, who came riding on the wind. He seemed to be in a bad mood and full of murderous intent. When he saw the person thrown by Chu Danfeng, he subconsciously caught it, but after catching it, his expression became even worse. Then he threw Yulou to the ground like throwing a sack, with such force that it seemed as if that was not some peerless beauty, but his enemy.
However, Yulou's neck was not broken. When she landed on the ground, it seemed as if a pair of invisible hands blocked her in the air, relieving some of the force before she continued to fall.
Ghost Yue Lao withdrew his hand silently, and complained silently in his heart: Your Majesty really needs to control your temper, otherwise Miss Yu would have fallen to death, how would I explain this to Senior Brother Chu? It's a relief to have a caring servant like me.
On this side, Yu Lou fell to a safe area and his life was temporarily safe. On the other side, Chu Danfeng turned back again.
Just like he told the system before, he didn't have any grand ambitions, but he just couldn't stand by and watch someone die. Since he had the energy to spare, he certainly couldn't just watch the ugly woman being eaten alive by monsters.
The ugly girl had already prepared to fight these zombie tapirs to the death, but she didn't expect that Chu Danfeng would abandon the charming girl from the Hehuan Sect and come back to rescue her!
"Chu Danfeng, you..."
Without saying a word, Chu Danfeng picked up the ugly girl by the waist, pointed his toes, and tried to break through again.
This time, breaking out was much easier than before because Hua Tingxuan followed. He had an extremely low aura, and his eyes could almost burn a hole in Chu Danfeng and the ugly girl who were "hugging each other". His murderous aura was almost condensed into substance. Those indestructible, ferocious and difficult to deal with zombie tapirs were all frightened by his momentum and forgot to attack for a moment. After Hua Tingxuan tore a zombie tapir apart with his bare hands as if to vent his anger, the rest did not hesitate any more and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Chu Danfeng didn't see this scene.
He carried the ugly girl to the entrance of the village, and while heaving a sigh of relief, he said worriedly, "There are more and more monsters outside, and they seem to be a little afraid of the village. It seems that we have to retreat back to the village."
The ugly girl quietly touched her waist which had just been hugged, and her ears turned red: "You are right."
Just at this moment, Hua Tingxuan came back.
Boss Hua's face was so gloomy that water could be squeezed out of it. He took a step forward and stood between them. The young man was thin and tall, and he blocked the two men firmly.
Chu Danfeng asked curiously: "Why did you come back so soon?"
You just saved my beautiful mother, shouldn't you be gentle with her
"What's the matter? Did you disturb my junior brother's flirting with his beautiful lady?"
When talking about the "beautiful woman", Hua Tingxuan looked at the ugly woman sarcastically.
Chu Danfeng: “…”
Chu Danfeng quickly cast an apologetic look at the ugly girl, pulled Hua Tingxuan away, and whispered: "What are you doing? It is said that 'don't expose someone's shortcomings when you insult them', and she is a girl, how can you mock her appearance?"
Hua Tingxuan was even more unhappy and sneered: "Are you heartbroken?"
Chu Danfeng looked at his face, a little stunned. Sixth Junior Brother's expression was a little strange, and gradually overlapped with the crazy and stubborn "ungrateful" in his memory. It also reminded him of the adult version of the "perverted big flower" in Yaolang Fujincao's dream.
These memories were not very pleasant. Chu Danfeng inexplicably felt a chill between his thighs, as if the long-lost pain had crept up his buttocks and legs again.
He took an uncomfortably step back.
However, Hua Tingxuan's mocking expression flashed away in an instant, and he seemed to control his temper forcefully. He let out a sigh of relief, and then spoke again, returning to being the obedient sixth junior brother: "Little senior brother, it's my fault, please don't be angry with me."
This almost coquettish tone made Chu Danfeng's heart soften and he breathed a sigh of relief - this was the little follower he was familiar with, the filial and considerate little flower in this life.
However, the well-behaved Xiaohua continued: "I saw you carrying her back and ignored me. I was just... jealous of her."
"..." Chu Danfeng had a bad feeling, "Why are you jealous? I have confidence in you. Can your skills compare with hers? She is just a weak woman, and..."
He found it difficult to utter the word "ugly again". Chu Danfeng never liked to comment on girls' looks.
But Hua Tingxuan understood his hidden meaning—she is so ugly, and I don’t like her, why are you jealous
When Chu Danfeng was struggling with the words, he saw Hua Tingxuan suddenly curl his lips, and a smile dispelled the last trace of hostility. His face was happy, and a little... wild
Chu Danfeng: “…”
"Dan Feng, you finally understand what I care about."
Hua Tingxuan suddenly stepped forward, caught Chu Danfeng off guard, lifted his chin, and gave him a kiss on the mouth without any hesitation.
“!!!!!!”
WTF! WTF! WTF! WTF!
Chu Danfeng: "How dare you, little bastard—"
Hua Tingxuan shamelessly completed his words: "Insubordination."
"Little Senior Brother, you are not allowed to kiss other men or women anymore. If you do it again, I will punish you - if you look at others for one more time, Xuan'er will kiss you once."
Hua Tingxuan licked his lips, looking inexplicably lewd: "It doesn't count because you fell last time. This is our first kiss."
Chu Danfeng's handsome face slowly turned red - I don't know if it was because of anger or embarrassment - he angrily said: "You, you are itching for trouble, right?! What punishment or no punishment... Why?"
The monks not far away started to riot, and someone shouted, "Go back to the village, go back to the village quickly! There are more and more monsters outside!"
"No, something's wrong in the village... in the village... It's all different!"
"If I don't go in, I'll die. I don't care. I'll rush in first!"
"… "
"Because you bullied me that night!" Hua Tingxuan said confidently, "You said you wanted to compensate me. Xuan'er doesn't want any other compensation. I just want my little brother to be with me wholeheartedly."
"..." Chu Danfeng was choked.
Hua Tingxuan took his hand without saying anything and said, "Let's go. It's dangerous outside. Let's hide back in the village."
