Fairy, help me cultivate.

Chen Yao smiled and asked, "Is your little mouth full?"

Yu Yun giggled, twisted her hips, and rolled over to hug Chen Yao: "After we get out, will you still love me like this?"

Chen Yao kissed her moist lips, soft and smooth, filling his mouth.

He closed his eyes and savored the lingering aftertaste.

After their lips parted again, Chen Yao licked her tongue a few times as she followed, saying, "Chen Yao may have many flaws, but starting something and then abandoning it is not one of them."

Yu Yun smiled sweetly: "Then my little mouth will be full for now. Going out to find Ning'er and Bai Piao is the priority."

Chen Yao chuckled and patted her buttocks, making a splashing sound.

"Alright. Let's rest for a bit, then continue searching for the way out."

Chapter 308 The Injured Freeloader

After resting, Chen Yao and Yu Yun found the exit not long after.

The two stepped into a white light, and after their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a pine forest.

In private, there was no sound of people, only the rolling of the pine trees and their crisp chirping.

Yu Yun frowned: "This place still doesn't resemble our world."

"Another hidden world?" Chen Yao looked around and released his divine sense to scan, sensing a slight fluctuation of spiritual energy in the far distance.

At this moment, Yu Yun also looked over: "Over there."

The two flew together over one ancient pine forest after another, and the fluctuations of spiritual energy became increasingly clear.

Not only spiritual energy, but also sword energy.

"It's a free sword!" Yu Yun landed in the pine forest, pulled the sword from an ancient pine tree, flicked the blade, held it upside down in her arm, and examined it closely. "There's no mistake, it's a free sword."

"Is she in danger?"

Chen Yao looked at the noisy woodland ahead.

Why would someone abandon their personal immortal sword if it wasn't dangerous?

However, he did not rush in with Yu Yun, but instead instructed Yu Yun to lie in ambush outside.

After Yu Yun agreed, Chen Yao, holding the free immortal sword, walked into the dark pine forest.

The sounds of fighting had ceased in the pine forest.

Chen Yao remained vigilant and moved step by step toward the place where the sound had come from.

A loud shout rang out in the forest, startling a flock of birds into flight.

Chen Yao emerged from the pine forest and saw fallen trees and devastation everywhere.

The freeloader was forced to kneel on one knee by a vajra, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

Her enemy was a withered old woman dressed as a Taoist nun in a wide robe.

The loud shouting came from the old lady.

She heard Chen Yao's footsteps and turned her head with extreme sensitivity.

Chen Yao then realized that she was blind.

"Is there anyone else?"

Chen Yao drew the sword he had taken for free, and its sword energy soared into the sky, pouring towards the Daoist nun.

The old Taoist nun's long sleeves fluttered as she spun sideways to dodge, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.

Chen Yao hadn't expected this person's Taoist magic to be so powerful, so he immediately became more cautious. He sheathed his sword, retreated to Bai Piao's side, flicked the tip of his sword, and sent the Vajra pestle crashing back into the nun's arms, causing her to groan.

"Such domineering strength! Are you here to rescue your lover?"

The Taoist nun listened intently, her body hunched over, stroking the vajra in her arms.

"That's right, you old hag, my lover has arrived, you're dead." Bai Piao took the sword from Chen Yao's hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips.

The Taoist nun chuckled and said, "His strength is fierce and his cultivation is not low, but he has only just broken through. He is domineering but not skillful. He can't save you yet. I'll wait for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Taoist nun's black and blue robes billowed in the air, creating a whirlwind before disappearing without a trace.

Bai Piao rushed forward with his sword, but unfortunately, he was still a step too late.

She steadied herself, swayed a few times, and fell into Chen Yao's arms.

"what happened to you?"

Chen Yao grasped her wrist and found that her pulse was pounding violently, unlike the calm and serene state of a cultivator.

"I was working with Huian and others to cut down the demonic root when it exploded, which brought me here. This Daoist nun was also one of the people who helped cut it down. She is the number one rogue cultivator in the South China Sea and has been cultivating in seclusion at the Sword Cliff Academy for over a hundred years. Her name is Wuchen."

Bai Piao, catching his breath, continued, "She was brought here with me. We discovered that this is a primitive cave, requiring the combined efforts of two people to open it up. Unexpectedly, this thieving nun took advantage of my moment of focus to launch a sneak attack, attempting to steal my cultivation..."

"So, you were tricked by her."

"Not only that, she also put a curse on me. When my injuries become severe enough, I will unconsciously give this body to her." Bai Piao fiercely plunged the immortal sword into the ground.

"Where is she now?" Chen Yao could not sense any trace of the Taoist nun.

"She spent ten years at Sword Cliff Academy, where she mastered a ground-splitting divine power. She must have already opened up a separate space to heal her injuries."

Chen Yao smiled and said, "I'd like to test her so-called Earth-Splitting Divine Power and see which is stronger, the Mustard Seed or the Sumeru."

"Mustard seed Mount Sumeru?" Bai Piao looked puzzled.

"Let's not talk about that now, I'll try to see if I can help you."

Chen Yao helped Bai Piao sit in meditation, and placed his hands on her back to help her clear her meridians and heal her injuries.

Yu Yun's footsteps approached softly. After discovering that Bai Piao was injured, she sat down in front of her and helped her heal.

An hour later, the freeloader coughed up a mouthful of black blood.

"It'll be fine once the blood clots are expelled." Yu Yun supported her and rubbed her back.

Chen Yao noticed that the freeloader's face was ashen, and his expression was even more unpleasant.

He grasped her wrist: "Your pulse is even stronger."

Bai Piao gasped even more heavily: "I have a strong urge to move around; the curse must have kicked in."

“It seems that you won’t get better unless we deal with this old thing,” Chen Yao said coldly. “That’s even better. We’ll follow you and go play in her lair.”

So, Bai Piao walked forward with his sword in hand, with Chen Yao and Yu Yun following closely behind. After walking for about half a day, Bai Piao stopped in front of a giant pine tree with a girth of 100 girths.

The giant pine tree resembles a city wall, its hollow interior like a cave inhabited by giants.

A large amount of resin seeped from the walls of the tree cavity, giving it an extremely strong, sweet, pine-like aroma.

"She must be inside. My desire is growing stronger." Bai Piao hurriedly entered the tree hollow and disappeared in a flash.

Chen Yao and Yu Yun quickly followed, but everything went black before their eyes. When they opened them again, they were all alone.

Chen Yao looked around and found himself in a rocky passageway.

He strode forward, his footsteps echoing from the cave ceiling, startling the pairs of red eyes in the darkness above.

A foul wind arose, and a black whirlwind formed by vampire bats swept over us.

Chen Yao summoned the Fire Spirit Jade Sword, and demonic flames swirled around him, burning the bat to ashes.

A chilling hiss of bats echoed from the cave ceiling, their red eyes darting about menacingly.

Chen Yao tossed the Fire Spirit Jade Sword into the air, made a hand seal to fuel the fire, and a thick stream of fire licked across the cave ceiling, causing charred bat corpses to fall like rain.

In no time, a thick carpet of charred corpses had accumulated on the ground.

As Chen Yao stepped forward on the carpet, he heard a shrill roar coming from deep within.

He knew these bats were no ordinary species; they must be the magical beasts kept by the Taoist nun.

I regret not releasing the little snake for a meal, but it doesn't matter. I'll just use the old Taoist nun to give the little snake a treat later!

Stepping out of the cave passage, a bright and open space suddenly appeared before me.

A stream meanders from beneath your feet into the depths of the peach grove, where peach blossoms are in full bloom and a sweet mist hangs in the air, creating a dreamlike scene.

Chen Yao flared his nostrils slightly, recognizing it as a miasma formation.

In the past, this kind of formation might have caused him some trouble, but now...

Chen Yao brushed his fingertips across the storage ring, and a sword light streaked into the sky, conjuring up clusters of swords.

"go with!"

Sword flashes rained down, and in the blink of an eye, the peach grove was transformed into a plain covered with sawdust.

From the depths of the stream, another heart-wrenching roar echoed.

Chen Yao laughed heartily, recalled the immortal sword, and rode it upstream.

Chapter 309 The Freeloader Who Posted It

At the end of the stream, a flock of cranes danced.

Chen Yao walked into the flock of cranes. As the cranes' wings fluttered, they created gusts of sharp wind, with their feathers darting through the air.

Sharp as a sword.

Chen Yao wielded his sword, deflecting most of the feathers. With a flick of his fingers, he caught the last silver crane feather that was aimed at his brow.

He casually tossed it away.

A silver crane feather streaked through the air like a streak of light, piercing the flower-shaded area at the end of the stream.

The flower shadows shattered like a broken mirror, and the white cranes cried out in alarm as they flew about, their feathers as white as snow.

The surrounding space shattered.

Chen Yao stepped into the crevice and walked into the tree hole.

Opposite them, a blind Taoist nun sat with her sword in her arms, her posture hunched and her expression sinister.

Chen Yao looked at her.
