Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 246 The Five Sects Haven't Gone That Depraved

Within the secret realm, Shen Youqing would sell several Bodhi leaves to anyone she met, and according to the value of Bodhi leaves, she was making a loss on every single transaction.

But ironically, she found joy in this unprofitable business.

After watching for a while, Zhang Youli couldn't help but say to Hua Yuan, "Has your Hehuan Sect mistreated her?"

Huayuan: ?
"Are you lying through your teeth?" Hua Yuan pointed at Shen Youqing's reflection in the water mirror. "Look at little Youqing's rosy complexion. Does he look like he's been mistreated?"

Compared to Shen Youqing two years ago, she has grown taller and gained weight. Although she is still relatively thin overall, she looks much better than when she first came to the Hehuan Sect.

"Sect Leader Hua, if I may be so bold as to remind you, she has been in the Qingyu Sect for more than two years," Zhang Youli said bluntly.

If we're talking about raising them well, then it's the Qingyu Sect that raises them well!
"..." Hua Yuan really wanted to grab the teacup next to her and throw it at him.

Shen Lin spoke slowly and deliberately, "This is purely a personal hobby of hers."

Shen Youqing, that rebellious son, must be the reincarnation of a Pixiu.

The sect leaders glanced at Shen Lin, said a few words, and then focused on looking at the situation in the water mirror.

Within the secret realm.

There is only one river, and although it is wide, it has no branches or tributaries, which means that the five direct descendants are basically very close to each other.

"Excuse me, what the hell is going on with this damned secret realm?!" Lin Youran cursed as she poured out the pills, trembling. "The last secret realm wasn't this awful, was it?!"

"You'll have to ask your master about that." Liang Shimu, sitting on the makeshift bamboo raft, wasn't much better off.

Yang Yousheng was too cold to speak.

Lin Youran managed to move her body and stuff the pills into their mouths one by one.

After taking the pill, the chilling sensation subsided considerably, but it wasn't completely eradicated.

Looking at the increasingly thick fog, Liang Shimu's tone revealed his worry, "I don't know where Second Junior Sister, Fifth Junior Brother, and Junior Sister are. This secret realm is really no place for humans to stay."

“Indeed,” Yang Yousheng echoed.

As the fog thickened, visibility decreased accordingly.

"There's candlelight?!" Lin Youran jumped up. The candlelight in the mist wasn't very bright, but she could still see some of it.

When Lin Jinyao saw these people, she leaped onto their bamboo raft, her voice trembling with cold, "Medicine."

Seeing Lin Jinyao's already pale face, Lin Youran stuffed a handful of pills into her hand, as if they were free.

Many cultivators outside the water mirror felt a pang of heartache upon seeing this.

Such a waste!

Shen Youqing encountered Xiao Ke here.

Xiao Ke wasn't on the river; he was on the bank, standing there tall and elegant!
Xiao Ke, standing on the shore, had already sparked countless discussions, because there wasn't a single snake around him!
The snakes seemed to be wary of something. They stared intently at Xiao Ke from a distance, waiting for him to make a mistake so they could pounce on him!
By the time Shen Youqing saw the flute, it had already moved.

He lightly leaped onto the bamboo raft.

"You ran ashore?" Shen Youqing looked at him with some curiosity as the swarm of snakes suddenly appeared.

He smelled strongly of herbs.

“Snake-eating grass.” Xiao Ke reached out and grabbed Shen Youqing’s wrist, feeling much relieved to see that her body temperature was normal.

Suddenly, the palm that reached out to him was not as warm as usual; the cool body temperature made Shen Youqing hold it back.

This body temperature is abnormal for Xiao Ke.

Looking at Xiao Ke's fair and normal complexion, Shen Youqing could only draw one conclusion.

With his pale complexion, it was really hard to tell what was wrong with him!
"Yin energy has entered the body?" With that, Shen Youqing withdrew his hand and began to form hand seals.

A bluish-green light array lit up, the lingering yin energy was expelled, and the body temperature began to rise.

Xiao Ke grunted in agreement, then took out a miniature boat and tossed it out.

Before Shen Youqing could react, he reached out and wrapped his arm around Shen Youqing's waist, then lightly leaped onto the boat. After regaining his footing, Shen Youqing stowed the bamboo raft and looked down at the arm wrapped around his waist.

Why isn't he letting go?

After understanding Shen Youqing's meaning, Xiao Ke slightly retracted his arm, and the gap between the two disappeared instantly.

With a warm, broad chest pressed against his back, in the gradually cooling and chilly environment, the man behind him felt like a furnace, making one somewhat greedy for this warmth.

Xiao Ke sat down beside Shen Youqing, holding her in his arms. "Aren't you cold?"

It's very warm, but...

"Is it appropriate?" Shen Youqing turned her head slightly to look.

She was now sitting on Xiao Ke's lap, with his arm around her waist and her back pressed against his chest.

This pose is as intimate as it gets!

Could you give him a couple of elbow strikes to make him behave?
Looking at the handsome and serious-looking man, Shen Youqing reminded him, "Senior brother, we are still undergoing training."

"I didn't do anything..." The man was halfway through his sentence when he felt a light and pleasant camellia scent waft over, followed by a soft 'snap'.

It doesn't hurt, but it seems like there's something on my face.

Xiao Ke raised his hand, touched it, and then took a leaf off between two fingers.

The leaf in his hand emitted a refreshing and soothing fragrance. He rubbed the leaf with his fingertips. "A sixth-grade Bodhi leaf?"

Shen Youqing responded and looked around.

The snakes on the shore dared not go into the water, the fog on the water surface grew thicker and thicker, and the sky gradually darkened.

We don't know what dangers might lurk beneath the surface.

The people outside the water mirror looked at the two people who seemed to be enjoying themselves on a leisurely trip, and they really didn't know what to say.

The head of the Xiao family tried his best to refrain from discussing the matter of marrying into the family with Shen Lin.

Shen Lin didn't react much.

He himself has several wives, so there's no reason to expect this unfilial son to only have one.

When it comes to relationships, as long as she's having fun, that's all that matters.

Xiao Ke had one arm around Shen Youqing's waist and the other hand playing with a Bodhi leaf. His clear, deep voice no longer had the unapproachable quality he used to say, "The situation here will only get worse. In fifteen days, I'm afraid the Bodhi leaf will become ineffective."

Shen Youqing shifted her body and sat sideways, asking, "Where's the Bodhi tree?"

She didn't hear Xiao Ke's reply, but she did hear him take a deep breath and his arm around her waist suddenly tighten.

Just as Shen Youqing was about to ask him what was wrong, Xiao Ke spoke first, "What?"

“The Bodhi tree.” Shen Youqing gazed into his deep, beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Xiao Ke paused for a moment, then, thinking of Shen Youqing's score, he tentatively asked, "Qingqing, don't tell me you've pulled the Bodhi tree bare?"

Is she that kind of person?

Xiao Ke, who had been elbowed, groaned and said in a low voice, "Wrong."

Under Shen Youqing's cool and indifferent gaze, he said, "The Bodhi tree may be useful, but we can't stay on the water forever."

Putting aside the increasingly heavy yin energy on the water, the corrosive river water alone would probably make it difficult for the boats to survive for fifteen days.

Shen Youqing took out the bamboo raft and narrowed her eyes as she looked at the bamboo, whose green outer skin had been corroded away.

"Why don't people get corroded in water?" she asked, then fell into deep thought.

None of them were corrupted, but without exception, all of them had yin energy enter their bodies. Moreover, the longer they stayed in the water, the heavier the yin energy became. Even those with fire spirit roots could not avoid it!

"What if it's corroded? Would we all be wiped out as soon as we entered? The Five Sects aren't that ruthless." Xiao Ke tried to remind Shen Youqing that they were participating in the Five Sects Conference, not risking their lives.

Shen Youqing said "Oh" and fell into thought.
