After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Without much further ado, Xiao Yu and his companions paid the registration fee of thirty mid-grade spirit stones for the four of them and the cat, and then left.

There are still a few days before we enter the secret realm, so you can start preparing now.

"Phew! We've finally settled the matter of participating in the secret realm. It's time to celebrate! Let's go! Moonshadow Sect's big feast, let's go to a restaurant for a good meal, it's on me."

"I...I won't..."

"Come on! Masked guy, I happen to have something to ask you..."

The voices of the group gradually faded into the distance, while the middle-aged man and the female cultivator stood together. Although they were both watching the departing group, their gazes unanimously fell on Xiao Yu.

"So...it was him?"

After a long pause, the female cultivator spoke with a complex expression, her spring-like eyes rippling.

"Okay! It's about time. Let's finish the registration. You and Xiao Wu get ready. I've talked to that woman from the Thieves' Guild. We'll enter the secret realm in a few days. Remember to stay away from this guy. There are quite a few eyes watching him now, otherwise our purpose will be easily exposed."

“Okay…” the female cultivator replied sullenly, her head bowed.

The middle-aged man turned his head and glanced at the woman he had found wandering nearby when he discovered the secret realm. His eyes flickered, as if he wanted to warn her about something.

But after thinking about it, I stopped talking. Sometimes, letting things take their natural course is the best approach.

He stepped back, disappearing into the shadows just like the previous shadowy figure.

Under the dazzling sunlight, the female cultivator took out the crystal-clear high-grade spirit stone left behind by someone. Her eyes shone with a glint of light, like a crescent moon with a missing piece, floating high in her eyes, like trying to catch the moon's reflection in water, ultimately an illusion.

The female cultivator sighed, closed her hands, and clenched the spirit stone in her palm.

Wow!

With his palm open, the high-grade spirit stone in his hand was dull and lifeless, its spiritual energy almost completely absorbed.

Li Yunshang didn't take it seriously, and then grabbed the next high-grade spirit stone, closed her eyes and continued to refine the spiritual energy within it.

In a dimly lit room next to the inn where Qingyun Fuzong was staying.

The high-grade spirit stones are piled together so that the master can better grasp and refine them. The spiritual energy released when the spirit stones collide is released into the room, and even turns into droplets of dew that stick to the walls. It is much richer in spiritual energy than the air outside. Just one breath is enough to make one feel like they are floating on air. It is very pure!

In the center of the spirit stone, a dim, fiery red figure sat cross-legged, its pores wide open, desperately absorbing the spiritual energy emanating from the room.

A large amount of spiritual energy was absorbed into his body, and the bright, shiny spirit stone he was holding quickly dimmed.

But then new additions were made.

Unrestrained, vast amounts of spiritual energy flowed into his body like a whale swallowing its prey, never ceasing for a moment.

At this rate, it won't be long before the spiritual roots within the body explode because they can't withstand the immense spiritual energy, and the spiritual power might even flow backward along the meridians, just like Hei Da under the black-robed girl's command.

However, the fiery red figure seemed completely unconcerned.

Her beautiful, bloodshot eyes opened, her pale face filled with obsession.

Cultivation level... as long as she reaches the Nascent Soul Realm, she won't be afraid of anything anymore!

As the spiritual energy was refined, the aura of the fiery red figure continued to rise.

…………

Chapter 100, I also want to find you as my Daoist partner!

"That's about it... I'm in a bind! I'll cover the room fee; I won't take advantage of you."

Boom!

With a soft thud, the black-robed girl slammed her forehead heavily onto the table. Many of the dishes that had just been served were knocked onto the table before she could even take a few bites. The force of the impact was enough to show her sincerity.

Inside a restaurant near the Fengqiu Secret Realm.

The girl in black robes bowed deeply at a 90-degree angle, her head almost touching the table, and addressed Xiao Yu and the others opposite her.

The sound it made attracted the attention of many other people in the restaurant.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the restaurant, only about two or three. Since it was close to evening and there was still some time before dinner, it wasn't peak dining time. Xiao Yu and his group found a good spot by the window on the second floor.

"You don't need to be so formal. We're all from the same sect, so we'll definitely find a way to help you."

Xiao Yu put away the chopsticks he was using to pick up food, and Feng Ling, who was sitting quietly drinking tea to the side, said this.

The black-robed girl invited people to a restaurant for dinner, partly to celebrate finally obtaining the qualification to enter the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm.

Secondly, due to what happened this morning, in order to ensure the safety of the sect disciples participating in this secret realm, the Fengqiu Secret Realm has begun to expel the rogue cultivators who are sleeping outdoors.

The girl in the black robe, who arrived late and missed her room, was forced to sleep outdoors and was thus affected.

In the past, it wouldn't have been easy to speak up, because she had a group of underlings with her. But now, because Hei Da failed to break through to the Core Formation Realm and his spiritual energy flowed backward, he suffered many minor injuries. She sent all the black-clad underlings to the town to take care of the injured Hei Da.

Now that she's all alone, things are much easier to handle when she's all by herself.

"So... Feng Ling, would you be willing to take me in for the next three days? I'm fine sleeping on the floor, I don't have to squeeze into the bed."

Hearing Feng Ling's understanding words, the girl in black robes' eyes lit up, she clasped her hands together, and looked at Feng Ling with anticipation.

The girl in black robes was mainly there to see Feng Ling.

After all, Ye Ba and Bu Suanzi are a couple and are staying in a double room with a large bed. Although there is enough space in the bed for her to squeeze in, they are a couple, and it would be bad if she were to disturb them at night.

Like Feng Ling, the girl in black robes also assumed that Xiao Yu and Bu Suantian, who lived together, were Daoist partners.

And... the masked, ferocious man could also be considered as a backup plan. The girl in black robes wasn't afraid of sharing a room with a strange man because of her Five Elements Poison Body.

However, the same principle applies: men and women are different, so it's best to avoid crowding together if possible.

In comparison, Feng Ling, being a woman and living in her own room, is undoubtedly the best person to stay with.

They're all women, so they're not afraid of any gender difference.

and so……

Please, I beg you!

Presumably fearing that Feng Ling would disagree, she slammed her head on the table again with a thud, bending over at a 90-degree angle.

Xiao Yu silently put down his chopsticks. It seemed that he wouldn't be able to eat in peace until he resolved the matter of the girl in black robes.

He glanced at the cat above him, who was happily munching on a small glutinous rice ball while holding a duck leg, then his gaze passed over the mask that the cat refused to remove even at the dinner table, finally settling on Feng Ling:

"In that case, Feng Ling, why don't you help her out? It's only three days anyway. Once she enters the secret realm in three days, there won't be any problems."

"Hmm... Ye Ba, thank you very much. If it weren't for the fact that you have the Diviner, I would really like to try to find you to be my Daoist partner... I think we are quite compatible..."

"no!"

Before the girl in black robes could finish her joke, Bu Suantian hurriedly put down the duck leg he was holding, opened his small mouth covered in sauce, and said:

"Ye Ba can't be your Daoist partner. He...he...is me...In short, his situation is special, it won't work! You must reject her, reject her now! Reject her..."

Bu Suantian spoke haltingly, and seeing that everyone at the table was drawn to her loud shouting, she shrank back, feeling a little nervous, and turned her attention to Xiao Yu.

She immediately grabbed his clothes and shook him, forcing him to refuse the black-robed girl's advances.

Honestly, don't be so flirtatious!

He had only been out for a short while when he got into trouble with two women.

Xiao Yu, that bastard!

Bu Suantian gritted his teeth secretly; even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

At worst, we might as well go all the way, knock Xiao Yu unconscious, and drag him into a dark room where no one can find him.

Anyway, all he needs to do is stay by my side and help me avert this death.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was unaware of Bu Suantian's intentions. He was somewhat bewildered by Bu Suantian's sudden words.

"Alright! Calm down, calm down. Hei Sha was just joking. Don't worry, even if it were true, I wouldn't agree."

Left with no other choice, Xiao Yu had to raise his hands to prove his innocence, hoping the little dumpling would understand the situation!

This is obviously just a joke.

"That's right, Bu Suanzi, I was just saying, it's just a hypothetical situation! Men are just stumbling blocks to my rise to fame. Ye Ba is just a lucky lecher, I won't compete with you for him, don't worry!"

The girl in black robes beside him also patted her chest and assured him.

The girl in the black robe makes sense, but something just doesn't feel right...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu, who was swaying back and forth excitedly at the divination, thought to himself.

He knew the girl in the black robe was probably referring to the times she had seen things she shouldn't have seen in the past.

That was all just a coincidence... an accident!

And I didn't see anything specific...

"That's fine..."

Seeing that Xiao Yu and the other person made a solemn promise, Bu Suantian stopped shaking Xiao Yu and visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

But suddenly… her face flushed red as she realized what the girl in black had said. Driven by a girl's characteristic shyness, she quickly explained:

"No... um, Ye Ba and I aren't in the relationship you're thinking of. She... I, we just depend on each other for survival, we just sleep in the same bed... I..."

"You should just keep eating your duck leg."

Facing the aunt-like smiles of the crowd, Bu Suantian became more and more flustered and unclear in her speech. Xiao Yu couldn't bear to watch any longer and used the half-eaten duck leg to shut her up from her incessant chatter.

It's getting darker the more you apply it, it's like...

Xiao Yu sighed, too lazy to explain.

Anyway, we were just strangers who met by chance. Once the secret realm ends, it'll probably be over.

What are you afraid of...

He looked at Feng Ling, wondering how she had considered the black-robed girl's request.

Seeing Xiao Yu's gaze, Feng Ling understood immediately that he was urging her to give a response, as dragging it out without any attitude was not good for the girl in black robes.

Would you like to share a room?

Although the girl in the black robe had her hood covering her face when she made the request, and Feng Ling couldn't see her expression, her earnest sincerity was evident.

However, Feng Ling only thought about it for a moment before shaking her head and refusing the black-robed girl's request:

"I'm sorry, but I cannot comment on this matter."
