Only after Cui Yunshen put on his clothes did Ji Xiuzhu come back to his senses.
Ji Xiuzhu gently wiped away the water droplets on her forehead. The mist from the spiritual spring swirled around her, as if she was in a fairyland.
Her gaze pierced through the mist and fell on Cui Yunshen beside her.
This brat is her youngest disciple. Ever since he became her disciple, he has shown amazing talent in cultivation.
Now that this kid has reached a high level of cultivation, his eyes have become much calmer.
"Shen'er," Ji Xiuzhu's voice sounded particularly cold amidst the echo of the spiritual spring, "The nourishment of the spiritual spring has ended, how do you feel?"
Cui Yunshen's eyes moved when he heard this: "Except for feeling a little hot, there doesn't seem to be any other discomfort."
As soon as Cui Yunshen finished speaking, Ji Xiuzhu saw some blood flowing from his nostrils.
Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu hurriedly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve to wipe the blood from Cui Yunshen's nose.
"It seems that this spiritual spring is a bit too nourishing. It actually made your nose bleed."
After Ji Xiuzhu finished speaking, he thought about taking back his hand.
As a result, just as his hand was halfway drawn, it was grabbed by Cui Yunshen.
Cui Yunshen nodded, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that every experience was a challenge to his own limits and a leap forward in his cultivation.
However, he was originally just feeling hot, but after being touched twice by Ji Xiuzhu, he actually became agitated.
He exerted force with his hands and pulled Ji Xiuzhu into his arms.
When Ji Xiuzhu pressed his whole body against his chest, the coolness actually relieved the heat in his body.
Ji Xiuzhu wanted to break free from Cui Yunshen's arms, but Cui Yunshen held her so tightly that she could not break free for a while.
"What are you doing, little brat? You're holding me so tightly, do you want to kill me?"
Ji Xiuzhu exerted too much force and her face turned slightly red. She raised her hand and pressed it against Cui Yunshen's chest, trying to break free from Cui Yunshen's embrace.
However, Cui Yunshen was too strong and her efforts were of no avail.
"You little bastard, let me go!" Ji Xiuzhu said angrily.
Cui Yunshen looked down at Ji Xiuzhu in his arms, his heart filled with strange emotions, but his face was as calm as ever.
But if you listen carefully, you will find that Cui Yunshen's little heart is beating non-stop at this moment.
He gently loosened Ji Xiuzhu's grip a little, but not completely.
After seeing Ji Xiuzhu's complexion improve, he said softly: "Master, I... I can't control myself. Because Master, your body is very cold, so..."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but kiss Ji Xiuzhu's lips.
Before Ji Xiuzhu could react, his eyes widened and his body became stiff for a moment.
After all, this sudden kiss left her at a loss.
Just then, a breeze blew by, and the mist in the spiritual spring gradually dissipated.
Ji Xiuzhu took the opportunity to push Cui Yunshen away and shouted angrily, "Cui Yunshen! How dare you be so rude! This is the second time you have teased me like this!"
There was anger and disappointment in her tone. She turned around and was about to leave, intending to leave Cui Yunshen standing alone by the spiritual spring.
However, as soon as she turned around, Cui Yunshen grabbed her arm.
Cui Yunshen's hands kept shaking, as if his guilt was written all over his hands.
“Master, I didn’t mean it… I just…” Cui Yunshen’s eyes revealed a hint of panic.
Ji Xiuzhu shook his hand off, turned around, raised his hand and poked his forehead, saying: "Humph! Brat, what's wrong with you recently? Are you getting older and want to get married? Oh, blame me. When you get out of the secret realm, I will talk to you about marriage."
After saying that, she slowly turned around and walked down the stairs out of the spiritual spring.
Cui Yunshen looked at her retreating figure, feeling extremely regretful. He knew that he was too impulsive this time and had done something outrageous, and the other person was his master.
However, he didn't want to give up.
If I said that I lived under the same roof with Ji Xiuzhu before, it was just because I wanted to take good care of Ji Xiuzhu.
After these two incidents, he was certain that the only person he loved was his master.
So, he followed Ji Xiuzhu to the place where he left, and soon caught up with Ji Xiuzhu.
Along the way, Cui Yunshen wanted to speak to Ji Xiuzhu several times, but was stared back by Ji Xiuzhu.
So he stopped talking, fearing that if he said one more word, Ji Xiuzhu would kick him away.
They didn't know how long they had walked before they left the sea of flowers and came to a place surrounded by lush greenery.
There are towering ancient trees with lush branches and leaves all around. The sunlight shines through the gaps, creating mottled light and shadows.
Even the air is filled with a faint spiritual scent, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
As the two went deeper, the surrounding environment gradually became darker, and the ancient trees became thicker, as if each tree carried thousands of years of history.
Ji Xiuzhu's expression also became solemn. She knew that in the secret realm, opportunities and dangers coexisted.
Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted over. Ji Xiuzhu frowned. She recognized the fragrance. It was the scent of the rare spiritual herb in the secret realm - the Netherworld Flower.
This flower only grows in a specific environment, and there must be powerful spirit beasts guarding it.
"Shh, little brat, be careful." Ji Xiuzhu stretched out a hand, stopped Cui Yunshen who wanted to move forward, and whispered, "We may be close to the place where the Nether Flower grows. There may be spirit beasts here."
Upon hearing this, Cui Yunshen summoned the Shaoyang Sword and then clenched the sword in his hand.
He pulled Ji Xiuzhu behind him, then closed his eyes, released a wisp of spiritual consciousness, and explored the surroundings.
He could feel the spiritual energy in the air fluctuating more violently, as if some powerful being was awakening.
Only after the search was over did Cui Yunshen slowly let go of the hand that was holding Ji Xiuzhu.
"Master, we have explored the surroundings and found nothing." Cui Yunshen shook his head at Ji Xiuzhu.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything else, but walked past Cui Yunshen and continued walking forward.
Seeing that Ji Xiuzhu ignored him, Cui Yunshen did not get angry, but put away the Shaoyang Sword in his hand and followed Ji Xiuzhu silently.
So the two of them moved forward cautiously until an open area appeared in front of them.
In the center of this open space, a Netherworld flower emitting a faint blue light is quietly blooming. Its flowers are like the brightest stars in the night sky, like a beauty in the dark night.
However, just as they were about to approach, a low roar came from behind the Nether Flower, and then a huge spirit beast slowly stood up, its eyes were like burning fireballs, emitting dangerous light.
"It's the Dark Flame Lion!" Cui Yunshen exclaimed. This spirit beast is known for its powerful fire attacks and is one of the most difficult creatures in the secret realm.
Ji Xiuzhu took a deep breath. She knew that this would be a difficult battle.
She turned to Cui Yunshen and said, "Remember, our target is the Nether Flower. Don't confront the Nether Flame Lion head-on. I will hold it back while you look for an opportunity to get the flower."
Cui Yunshen originally wanted to say that he would go and restrain the Dark Flame Lion, but after seeing Ji Xiuzhu's serious expression, he nodded in acquiescence.
Then, the two began to move slowly, cooperating with each other, looking for the best time to attack.
And the Dark Flame Lion seemed to sense their breath as well.
So, it roared, flames leaped on its mane, ready to attack Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen at any time.
