God-Slaying Blade

Chen Guo'er said with a frustrated look, "I was wandering around in the mountains, and although I didn't find any ginseng, I did find a rather cute little strange beast. I thought I'd tame it, so I forcibly grabbed it. While I was playing with it in my hand, it actually let out a really, really smelly fart at me. The smell lingered for ages. If I don't take a shower, I'll feel disgusted with myself..."

"puff--"

Hearing Chen Guo'er's words, Qin Jue couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You promised you wouldn't laugh at me!"

"Hahaha... I don't want to laugh either, but I really can't help it!" Qin Jue burst into laughter.

A proud disciple of the prestigious Weaving Heaven Sword Sect, a Grandmaster-level expert, was actually defeated by a strange beast's fart. Chen Guo'er is truly something else.

Chen Guo'er stomped her feet in anger. If she could beat Qin Jue, she would have punched him in the face.

"The strange beast you mentioned, is its back fur black and white, and its tail looks very fluffy?" Qin Jue asked teasingly.

Chen Guo'er was taken aback: "Yes! It's about the size of a small dog! Do you know what kind of strange beast this is?"

Qin Jue suppressed a laugh and said, "What you encountered was most likely a skunk. It looks cute, but its farts are incredibly smelly! Most people would run far away from it, but you're really brave to hold it in your hands."

Chen Guo'er retorted angrily, "I don't even know what it is, otherwise why would I have caught something like that!"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "It's alright now, you don't smell bad anymore."

"..." Chen Guo'er's face flushed. She wanted to call Qin Jue shameless, but she was too ashamed to speak.

She was actually quite curious about Qin Jue.

This person doesn't seem like the kind of vicious person, so how come he's a ruthless killer?

Moreover, Qin Jue looked even younger than her, yet his strength far surpassed hers. Such a prodigy was absolutely qualified to be included in the Nine Provinces Prodigy Ranking, but she had never heard of Qin Jue before.

"I guess the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion doesn't know he exists yet. But when the rankings change next time, his name will definitely be on the Nine Provinces Prodigy Ranking. It seems there are only two months left until the next ranking change," Chen Guo'er thought to herself as she walked.

The two searched for a long time but could not find the ground-borne ginseng.

"Let's go over there. That's the only place I haven't been before," Chen Guo'er said, pointing in the direction of the cemetery.

Qin Jue shook his head and said, "There isn't one over there. I came from that side."

"It seems Feng Wuji really did lie to me!" Chen Guo'er said angrily, her displeasure with Feng Wuji increasing even more.

Qin Jue smiled and said, "Encountering such a spiritual object is a matter of chance; if you don't, don't force it."

"Then will you still treat me to fish?" Chen Guo'er asked shyly, her pretty face flushed.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Let's go back to Qinghu. It'll be easier to handle things there."

"Okay." Chen Guo'er was delighted and followed Qin Jue back to the shore of Qinghu Lake.

Qin Jue asked Chen Guo'er to gather firewood, while he went to the lake to deal with the big bluefish.

"Come quick! I've spotted the free-growing ginseng!"

Just as Qin Jue gutted the big fish, he heard Chen Guo'er's joyful cry coming from the woods.

Qin Jue's eyebrows lifted with delight. He hadn't expected that there would actually be a free-growing spiritual ginseng in Crescent Moon Mountain!

He quickly put down the big bluefish, and with a flash, rushed into the forest.

At this moment, Chen Guo'er was in the mountains and forests, flying swiftly. Not far in front of her, there were traces of the soil being turned over, as if something alive was moving underground.

Qin Jue rushed over, his spiritual power quietly spreading out, chasing after the object on the ground.

A figure with arms-length, yellowish-brown skin used the strength of its whiskers to quickly climb the soil and achieve mobility.

"It really is a free-growing spiritual ginseng!"

Qin Jue was overjoyed.

"The only way to capture the ginseng is to trap it first. If you try to take it by force and injure it, its medicinal properties will dissipate rapidly! The best way is to wait until it can't run anymore and then dig it out whole," Chen Guo'er reminded her.

Qin Jue laughed and said, "There's no need for such trouble!"

Swish!

Qin Jue suddenly flashed forward, rushing ahead of the direction the Earth Spirit Ginseng had fled.

He concealed his aura, and the moment the Earth Spirit Ginseng rushed over, he slammed his palm into the ground.

boom--

Qin Jue slammed his palm into the ground, instantly creating a crater about ten feet deep. A yellowish-brown figure emerged from the soil at the edge of the crater with a whoosh...

The ground ginseng missed its target, as if it had jumped into a cliff.

Before it could turn around and escape elsewhere, Qin Jue's large hand had already grabbed it like an iron clamp.

hum!

A surge of spiritual energy erupted instantly, forming a thin film that quickly enveloped the ground-dwelling ginseng. The struggling ginseng seemed to be frozen in place, becoming completely still.

"Spiritual power! You...you're actually a Spirit Realm expert!"

Chen Guo'er rushed over, her eyes wide open!

Qin Jue chuckled, "You, a prodigy of the Weaving Heaven Sword Sect, are you really that surprised to run into a Spirit Realm expert?"

Chen Guo'er's face twitched. She was indeed a prodigy of the Weaving Heaven Sword Sect, but Spirit Realm experts weren't exactly commonplace anywhere.

She originally thought Qin Jue was only slightly stronger than her, but she never expected him to be a billion times stronger!

"How old are you exactly? Are you some kind of old monster who has become young again?" Chen Guo'er said with a wry smile.

Qin Jue put the Earth Spirit Ginseng into his storage ring and laughed, "I just broke through to the next level myself. I didn't want to reveal my cultivation, but I had no choice but to do so to capture this little thing. Tell me, should I kill you?"

Chen Guo'er's face paled, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You... how could you think like that? We've been chatting so well! Even though I don't know your name yet, I've already considered you a friend!"

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Look how scared you are. I was just joking with you. But you have to keep my cultivation level a secret, otherwise we can't be friends anymore. Also, my name is Qin Jue."

Although revealing one's cultivation level is not a big deal, it would be even more satisfying to play dumb and outsmart others.

Chen Guo'er said angrily, "Don't worry, I'm not a gossip, I won't tell anyone. But can you please stop making jokes like that with me? It's really scary!"

In her heart, however, she secretly memorized the name Qin Jue.

Qin Jue teased, "Does Miss Chen really think we'll have a future together?"

Chen Guo'er blushed and said, "Although I am not as monstrous as you, my talent is not bad either, and I have a great chance to step into the Spirit Realm in the future. Within the territory of the Nine Provinces Martial Dynasty, there are many opportunities for geniuses from all sides to compete on the same stage. Even if I leave Fengzhou, we will definitely meet again in the future."

Qin Jue curled his lip: "So this is what 'afterward' means."

Chen Guo'er's ears burned with embarrassment and annoyance. "You've already packed away the ginseng. Hurry up and go grill the fish. I'm starving."

After saying that, she quickly turned around and slipped into the forest.

She wasn't stupid; she could naturally sense that Qin Jue was flirting with her...

Qin Jue watched Chen Guo'er's departing figure, a smile appearing on his lips.

Although Chen Guo'er is somewhat spoiled, she is lively and talented. If he could bring her back to his Qin family to produce offspring, it would be an excellent choice...

The Qin family is now unassailable in Fengzhou City, but even the most powerful Qin family cannot be considered a family revival if it is only one person.

The Qin family must not only be powerful, but also have many descendants!
