Chapter 131: Brother, You Smell So Good!

Chapter 131: Brother, You Smell So Good!

The old sage of the Kao Shan Sect waved tearfully to bid Wushi farewell.

"Little Ancestor, you should leave quickly. This humble place can't accommodate a great deity like you."

Wushi waved back, shrinking the black-and-white Skyveil Bangle to the size of a ring and tying it around his neck with a string.

Wearing a bracelet was too awkward; a pendant was much better.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Elder. I'll come back to visit you again", Wushi called out, flashing a bright smile.

"Good, good", the old sage managed, his smile somewhat forced.

Well, it didn't matter. He didn't have many centuries left anyway. With no hope of further advancement, a shattered dao heart was just that—shattered.

Wushi strode forward, seeing no one on the path, and entered the vast wilderness. He couldn't help but hum a tune, skipping along toward the Deadly Mountain.

Suddenly, he stopped, sensing something. His spiritual perception was astonishing, and he quickly turned his gaze to a distant primeval lake.

The lake was covered in a vast expanse of lotus flowers, their leaves stretching endlessly into the sky, and the lotus blossoms reflecting the sun with a unique red hue. A gentle breeze carried a fresh, delicate fragrance, invigorating the spirit.

Of course, this wasn't why Wushi had paused.

The Yaochi Holy Land had many lotus flowers, many of which were rare treasures, carefully tended. After seeing the landscapes of Yaochi, ordinary scenery didn't catch his eye.

"That person can give me a faint sense of threat. I mustn't underestimate the heroes of the world."

Wushi's eyes gleamed. He saw a figure in the lake and immediately recognized the vibrant, youthful energy radiating from the person. This was definitely not an ancient relic but someone of his own generation.

After a moment's thought, since the Deadly Mountain was nearby and wouldn't go anywhere, he changed his course to meet this person. He hoped for a battle. After a long seclusion and a recent breakthrough, he was eager for a fight.

In the midst of the lotus flowers, a slender figure also lifted its head, seemingly sensing something. The two met each other's gaze across the distance.

Their auras seemed to be mysteriously drawn together, and both involuntarily emitted a faint glow.

The Primordial Sage Body Dao Embryo and the Immortal Elixir Incarnation, two of the strongest constitutions, created a special resonance between them.

"What a beautiful person!" Wushi's eyes lit up in admiration.

The figure in the lotus, dressed in a green robe, was ethereal and elegant, like a newly blooming lotus, barefoot on the water, creating ripples.

The person was exceptionally beautiful, with a slender build, a gentle and graceful face, and a hint of strength in their eyes. For a moment, it was hard to tell if they were male or female, their aura being indistinct and enigmatic.

Wan Qing raised his head, his long hair cascading down, taking on a vibrant green hue in the sunlight. His eyes were calm, radiating a wise and insightful light.

"This feeling... It's right. He must be the opponent my senior sister spoke of in this life", Wan Qing thought to himself, his eyes sparkling. His green robe fluttered as he walked on the water, approaching the shore to face Wushi.

"You're very strong", Wushi said, excitement evident in his voice. "Let's have a fight!"

"No", Wan Qing shook his head.

"Eh, why not??" Wushi's face fell.

Even though you're beautiful, not fighting me is no fun.

No matter how beautiful you are, can you compare to my sister and mother?

Wan Qing frowned, stepping back slightly. "Fighting here will destroy my flowers."

"Did you plant them?" Wushi, taken aback, pointed at the lotus flowers.

Wan Qing replied calmly, "No, but I found this place first, so now it's mine."

"Alright, alright. I didn't expect you to be so beautiful and so domineering. I like it!" Wushi couldn't help but praise.

Wan Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, then he suddenly asked, "You mean I'm beautiful, right?"

"Of course. Among the women I've seen, you'd probably rank in the top three or four."

Before Wushi could finish his sentence, a fist smashed into his face.

They were too close for him to dodge, so he didn't even try.

His face twisted.

Yeah, it was that kind of twisted.

"Hey, you! If we're fighting, just fight. Why sneak an attack?" Wushi rubbed his face, muttering.

This guy had a lot of strength, actually hurting him. He was increasingly excited, his fighting spirit soaring.

Wan Qing's eyes showed a hint of surprise. He pulled back his slightly reddened hand, his tone still calm and without a trace of guilt. "I'm a guy."

"..."

Wushi was dumbfounded. Did he just get hit for nothing?

"Really a guy?"

"More real than immortal gold."

"Alright then. I'm Wushi. What's your name?" Wushi sighed, moving closer and asking.

"Wan Qing."

"Strangers become friends through conflict. From now on, we're good brothers."

Wushi naturally placed a hand on Wan Qing's shoulder, sniffing the air and taking in a pleasant fragrance, feeling refreshed. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Brother, you smell so good!"

Isn't that right? Despite losing the immortal divine nature, the immortal elixir incarnation still has genuine immortal spirit blood flowing through its veins, and some of the elixir's characteristics remain.

A black line floated above Wan Qing's forehead. "Are you a reincarnated dog's nose? You can even smell this?"

"Speaking of which, you must be the great enemy my sister mentioned in this life, the immortal elixir incarnation. No wonder you have that fragrance", Wushi suddenly said in a solemn voice.

Hearing this, Wan Qing was taken aback.

On one hand, he was stunned by someone pointing out his true identity, and on the other, by the mention of "sister."

"Ah, so you're the sister's little brother. No wonder, she's using me to hone him, I see", a flash of insight crossed Wan Qing's mind, and a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.

Am I just a substitute and a whetstone?

However, Wan Qing's bitterness didn't last long. Almost the moment he was distracted, Wushi's eyes glowed, and he pressed down on Wan Qing with one hand while swiftly reaching under his friend with the other.

"Ha-ha, I don't believe you're a guy, huh?!"

Wushi chuckled, but in the next instant, his hand really touched a sensitive spot and even pinched it unconsciously.

His eyes widened in shock as he looked up to see the same stunned expression on his friend's face.

Their eyes met, and it felt like a thousand years had passed in a single glance.

"Die, you!!" Wan Qing's body radiated a sea of killing intent, and a dragon-shaped flame erupted from his crown, piercing through heaven and earth.

He was utterly enraged, his slender body brimming with overwhelming killing intent as he unleashed a barrage of attacks on Wushi, engaging in a fierce clash.

Wushi, feeling both helpless and guilty, didn't dare to resist much and was immediately thrown out, shattering a mountain.

He climbed out of the rubble, dusting off his disheveled clothes, only to see Wan Qing chasing after him again. With a spin, Wan Qing delivered a powerful vertical kick, like a celestial axe splitting the sky, smashing Wushi back into the ground.

"Brother, can I apologize?" Wushi rubbed his head, trying to ask.

"Who's your brother? Didn't you want to fight? Come on!" Wan Qing had sunk an entire mountain range and was still fuming with anger.

Originally, he gave off a very ethereal aura, as if he were a spirit of the earth and sky, but now that ethereal quality was gone, replaced by a tangible rage that was terrifying.

"Do you believe me when I say it was an accident?" Wushi still tried to wriggle out of it.

"Ha-ha, I believe you, why wouldn't I? Stand still, let me have an 'accident' too, and I'll believe you!" Wan Qing sneered.

Wushi's lips twitched, and he didn't dare to stop. If Wan Qing got a hit in, he'd probably end up hiding in the Yaochi Holy Land forever.

He chose to retreat temporarily. It wasn't that he couldn't fight back, but he felt too guilty to do so.

Moreover, despite his disheveled appearance, he was mostly covered in dust and hadn't actually been injured. Not a single drop of blood had been shed.

Most of the attacks had been blocked, and minor injuries often healed on their own before he even had a chance to use secret arts to heal them.

He fled, and Wan Qing pursued, a wild chase through the wilderness, deep into the vast wastelands, until they neared the black mountains.

Gradually, Wushi grew weary of defending himself, and his body finally bore some marks of the battle.

Wan Qing showed no mercy, and his attacks made Wushi feel increasingly uneasy.

"I'll really fight back if you keep this up!" Wushi warned in a serious tone.

Wan Qing said nothing, delivering a powerful slash to show his determination.

"Don't push me, Qing'er", Wushi quickly put some distance between them, a smile suddenly appearing on his face.

He had always yearned for a real fight.

"Swish!"

A green light flashed, and a slender figure appeared on a nearby mountain, long hair glowing with a green radiance, a strikingly handsome face that could easily be mistaken for a young girl.

Wan Qing, gritting his teeth, kicked out with all his might. With a thunderous boom, a mountain crumbled, and the surrounding area shattered.

Wushi's eyes twitched, and he couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. Using the Xingzi Secret Art, he moved at incredible speed, but still felt the impact, stumbling and accidentally stepping into the Deadly Mountain.

"Huh?!"

He was filled with doubt, his eyes narrowing as strange markings appeared in the sky, enveloping him. Before he could struggle, a flash of light forcibly transported him into the black mountains.

The Deadly Mountain was covered in ancient heaven trees, teeming with life, and dotted with lakes. However, the black earth and cliffs still gave it an ancient and mysterious aura, as if hiding great dangers.

"Bad news, how did I end up so deep? I hope my sister hasn't set up any lethal traps here", Wushi sighed, shaking his head.

"Ha-ha." Wan Qing followed into the Deadly Mountain, seeing Wushi putting on a show, and sneered, lifting his leg and delivering a powerful kick.

The Deadly Mountain was where his sister once practiced; how could her kin be in danger here?

But, the unexpected did happen.
