My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

362 The Cave of the Gods (30)

It's finally out...

Leng Yihan sighed, looking at the black stone in her hand, her feelings were somewhat complicated.

On the way to take out the stone, Chu Zhu kept making strange noises, which made Leng Yihan's heart itch.

Fortunately, she wasn't in control of her body, and with various handsome young men around her all year round, Leng Yihan's willpower improved considerably.

Immediately after taking out the stone, Lu Youmei handed over control of her body back to Leng Yihan, and her complexion was noticeably worse after returning to the soul space.

Are you feeling unwell?

"Hmm... It's not my own power after all, so using it is really too much of a strain... I need to rest properly. This thing is called a Dao Crystal. Right now, it's just a stone that absorbs energy, but when you pour a potion on it, it becomes a wonderful thing that continuously provides energy, and it also has a refreshing effect."

Before taking a break, Lu Youmei kindly explained to Leng Yihan.

"Hmm, that potion... we probably can't get our hands on it right now, can we?"

"After I've rested... let's go look for it... You put the things into your storage ring first... I'm going to rest now..."

After Lu Youmei finished speaking, she stopped responding, and her soul body had actually fallen asleep in Leng Yihan's soul space.

“Um… Senior Yihan… could you please get off my body now…?” Miss Chuzhu suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Leng Yihan was taken aback, only then realizing that when she took out the Dao Crystal earlier, Lu Youmei had been lying on top of Chu Zhu.

Now, the two of them were in a very awkward position. After taking out the Dao Crystal, Chu Zhu's complexion immediately recovered and became much rosier, and her charm level skyrocketed.

"Ah! I'm sorry!" Realizing this, Leng Yihan quickly got up so that Chu Zhu could get up. After getting up, Chu Zhu didn't say anything, but just patted his clothes and then sat down cross-legged on the spot.

"Senior Yihan...may I just call you Yihan?"

"Yes, of course, no problem."

Leng Yihan quickly regained her composure and nodded.

"Well... Yihan, I'll recover here now... Thank you for saving me and my senior brother." Chu Zhu nodded and smiled gently.

It seems like the embarrassing incident that happened when the Dao Crystal was taken out earlier has already been forgotten.

Leng Yihan understood Chu Zhu's meaning—neither of them should mention what happened along the way again.

“Alright, Miss Chu Zhu, you should rest and recover a bit first. We’ll head back right away so they won’t worry about us,” Leng Yihan said.

"Hmm." Chu Zhu nodded, then suddenly opened her eyes again after closing them: "Um... Yi Han, is he really a boy? He doesn't seem like one at all..."

“Heh…hehe…” Leng Yihan’s lips twitched: “Think what you want, anyway, my gender is already a mystery to most people, including myself.”

At this point, we should use that famous line—Yi Han's gender is Yi Han!

Leng Yihan was genuinely worried that she might suddenly turn into some kind of cute girl. She really didn't want that! She absolutely didn't want to become a girl...

You think I don't know you actually want to be a girl?!

Ignoring the author's complaints, Leng Yihan began to protect Chu Zhu from the side. It was obvious that the Dao Crystal had drained a lot of Chu Zhu's power, making her extremely weak.

Chu Zhu, whose cultivation level was already low, almost lost his cultivation level after being absorbed by the Dao Crystal. Fortunately, he was able to retrieve it in time.

Thinking of this, Leng Yihan curiously examined the Dao Crystal in her hand.

It's very ordinary, except that it's quite dark overall, and you can't really tell anything else about it.

Can this thing... provide a continuous supply of energy? It must be a good thing...?

For some reason, Leng Yihan felt that something was wrong.

Upon closer reflection, she finally remembered what the thing that had seemed amiss was.

"Why... is the Dao Crystal inside Miss Chu Zhu's body?"

-

After Chu Zhu regained some of his energy, the two got up and headed towards their temporary residence.

Although Chu Zhu wasn't particularly talented, he was clearly good at diplomacy, making Leng Yihan feel very comfortable—he didn't over-praise her and always showed her enough respect.

Along the way, Chu Zhu corrected her, saying that she should just call herself Chu Zhu and that there was no need to add the word "Miss". This was an exchange of the last two characters of the name Chu Zhu should use when calling Leng Yihan.

Leng Yihan did not refuse and agreed.

Although Leng Yihan's previous location was a little distance from their camp, it wasn't particularly far, and the two quickly returned to the camp.

They had already started a fire. Although Leng Binglan and the other two didn't need one—after entering the Body Refinement Realm, the three of them no longer had to worry about the cold—the temperature at night in the Cave of Gods was not a problem for them at all. But Yun Bai was different.

Although it was warm here, Yun Bai still felt a vague unease. He didn't know why he was suddenly so concerned about his junior sister; she wasn't like this back in the sect...

It must be because of the vow I made to my master that caused this... Besides, my junior sister and I are childhood sweethearts, so it's normal for her to care, right?

It's a pity my talent isn't very good... no, it's precisely because my talent isn't very good that I've been able to do my best to protect my junior sister. But along the way, it seems like it's always been this silly junior sister protecting me...

Ten minutes felt like an eternity to Yun Bai, until he saw Leng Yihan and Chu Zhu walking over one after the other, and the strange feeling in his heart finally dissipated.

"Thank you for saving me, senior!" Yun Bai bowed deeply to Leng Yihan. He could see that Chu Zhu's body had improved considerably, and his strength was gradually returning.

"I'll help people to the end, anyway, I didn't lose anything, I got something I needed." Leng Yihan said with a smile, but it did indeed arouse Yun Bai's imagination.

Did you get what you needed? What was it?

Seriously... is this senior really a boy? Or is he a cross-dresser?

Yun Bai fell into deep thought.

“Alright, now that your basic survival needs are met, can you tell us what happened? I’m very curious,” Leng Yihan said. Then she suddenly realized that she had been taking on too many cases lately. Should she stop meddling in other people’s business?

But just watching the other person die like this... isn't my style...

"Yihan, let me tell you."

Chu Zhu clearly didn't believe her senior brother's eloquence. After all, they were childhood sweethearts, and neither of them had particularly good talent under their master's tutelage. But it was precisely because of this that they had some common topics to discuss.

Over time, Chu Zhu realized that his senior brother was practically an idiot when it came to diplomacy. At least he had something in this area that his master could appreciate, but his cultivation wasn't strong enough and his character wasn't tough enough...

Chu Zhu's eyes dimmed at the thought of his deceased master.

"This is what happened..."

363 The Cave of the Gods (31)

Their sect was not a particularly powerful one; it was just an ordinary sect within the Imperial Clan.

It's very ordinary, just an ordinary person with one enemy and a few ordinary geniuses.

Each sect will have a few tokens to enter the Cave of the Gods, but these tokens are mostly random. Each sect can have a maximum of thirty, which is predetermined, but there is no limit to the maximum number of Cave of the Gods tokens.

Sometimes, the maximum number of God's Cave tokens can be hundreds. After the major sects have distributed them, the smaller sects can still get a lot of tokens. However, getting extra tokens depends on luck.

This time, Chu Zhu's sect was so lucky. Originally, only three people from their sect could enter the Cave of Gods, but this time, eight people could enter the Cave of Gods, while their rival sects still only had three. This was seen as the hope for the rise of their sect.

Then the eight most talented people in their sect entered the Cave of Gods, while the others waited outside.

Shortly after, their rival sect suddenly attacked, targeting the group that had settled not far from the Cave of Gods.

They initially thought the other side was courting death, since the two sides were evenly matched and the worst possible outcome of a fight would be mutual destruction. However, to their surprise, the other side had outside help, and powerful outside help at that.

Under the deliberate cover of their master, and with the brief activation of Chu Zhu's special talent skill, spatial teleportation, Yun Bai and Chu Zhu were able to escape from there.

However, Chu Zhu and Yun Bai could both imagine the fate of the disciples who came from the sect and those who didn't.

After listening to Chu Zhu's words, Leng Yihan sighed.

So, from now on, you must rest in town... Resting outside is extremely dangerous...

“That’s how it is…” Chu Zhu said, head down.

"What are your plans?" Leng Zhenmo asked.

"Hmm... If possible, try to ensure their safety and then send them out," Leng Yihan said.

"I'm sorry... Unless you stay with us every step of the way, we will definitely encounter danger. On the way here, we encountered all kinds of magical beasts, which are the main reason for slowing down our escape speed," Yun Bai said with his head down.

They're too weak. If you leave them alone, they'll definitely die.

"Besides... there's nowhere for us to go outside..." Chu Zhu said, biting her pale lips.

Yes... their sect must have been wiped out by the rival sect by now...

This is really bad, this situation is terrible.

"We don't have enough time," Qing said.

“Yes, I do have a place where you can take temporary refuge, but we don’t have time to send you out. We have two more places to go,” Leng Yihan said.

Her mother dotes on her the most, and if it were Leng Yihan's request, her mother would definitely agree to such a small favor.

But the journey in between...

"Then... could you please watch over us for a few more days? After a few days, my junior sister and I will have our life-saving skills and magic weapons ready. At that time, we will definitely be able to escape from the Cave of Gods!" Yun Bai asked anxiously—this request was a bit unreasonable. The other party had already saved their lives, so why should they protect their safety? Moreover, they wanted the other party to prepare a place of refuge for them.

"Hmm? I see... Then there's no problem." Leng Yihan didn't seem to care. Although the group's strength wasn't enough for a round trip, it was enough to protect the two of them for a few days.

Leng Binglan and the other two were originally following Leng Yihan, so they wouldn't say anything about Leng Yihan's choices unless they were too outrageous.

"Then thank you very much, senior!" Yun Bai said excitedly upon hearing this.

"Just asking, how long will it take you?" Leng Yihan asked.

"For me... three days will suffice."

"It will take me a while... seven days," Chu Zhu said with a wry smile.

After thinking for a moment, Leng Yihan nodded. After all, it was a talent skill that could help her, a third-tier cultivator, escape the pursuit of various experts, and seven days was already a very short time.

But a week... Leng Yihan and the others couldn't wait that long...

"Chu Zhu, do you have a way to shorten this cooldown time?" Leng Yihan asked.

If possible, she could see if there was any way to help Chu Zhu.

"Hmm...yes, if I cultivate in a place with abundant energy, it will speed up the recovery of my innate skills..." Chu Zhu said.

"Okay, I'll try to figure something out and see if I can help you." Leng Yihan nodded. Although they could set off once Yun Bai's survival skills were ready, it wouldn't be safe that way. If possible, Leng Yihan still hoped to help the two of them return alive.

Perhaps this is just meddling in other people's business. When I used to read novels, I always wondered why the male protagonist didn't help some people. Now that something like this has happened to me, I can't help but want to help them.

That's really meddling in other people's business...
