Chapter 14 Prevention, Accident
Chapter 14 Prevention, Accident
Chu Tian had only been practicing cultivation for a short time when he broke through to the first level of Body Tempering. His talent was terrifyingly strong in a small place like Qinghe City, and he was at the height of his confidence.
I'm very curious about the power within my body, so I want to find a test subject to learn about it.
In his view, other people are not easy to work with.
Chu Yue'er, who looked weak, was already physically weak, so taking some time to recuperate was better than doing nothing. Therefore, he felt perfectly justified in climbing over the wall.
"Little Moon, your Brother Chu Tian is here."
Chu Tian chuckled, a look of curiosity flashing in his eyes. Suppressing his excitement, he quietly went to the largest room and was about to push the door open to enter.
"Chu Tian, sneaking over the wall? Are you trying to take advantage of Yue'er? What a beast!"
A childish voice rang out, startling Chu Tian. He shuddered and stopped his movement to open the door, quickly turning his head to look.
A child, slightly older than himself, also climbed over the wall. Compared to Chu Tian's previous clumsy movements, this person seemed exceptionally skilled, giving the impression that it wasn't his first time climbing over the wall.
This is the effect of hidden strength, although compared to the true qi system, it does not significantly enhance one's own power.
However, it allows one to have a higher physical strength limit compared to others, given the same strength.
Simply put, it means that the upper limit of power usage has been increased.
The fact that someone possesses hidden strength means that this person is Lin Yao.
He raised his right hand and pointed at Chu Tian, looking at him like he was a pervert, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation, as if he was about to beat him up.
"Uh, how could I have any improper intentions towards a child? Besides, I'm a child myself now, so why am I being treated like one of those weird uncles?"
Chu Tian hurriedly waved his hand to explain, sweat beading on his forehead and face, his eyes darting around, sensing that something bad was about to happen.
If I were to bear this stigma, how could I ever hold my head high among my peers again?
"Hehe, then why did you suddenly enter Yue'er's courtyard at night? In the middle of the night, can you explain that clearly?"
Lin Yao sneered, and his strange gaze, as if looking at an idiot or a pervert, made Chu Tian feel extremely uncomfortable.
"I was thinking... wait, don't ask so many questions yet. I also have some questions. Why are you here?"
Chu Tian was about to explain, but he was no five-year-old child after all, and quickly realized the loophole in the explanation. He looked at Lin Yao's figure with a suspicious look on his face.
"Because these past few days, you broke through to the first level of Body Tempering, and your cronies have been bragging about finding a test subject to measure the strength of your Body Tempering spiritual power."
Moreover, during the discussions, they subtly set their sights on Yue'er, attempting to experience the effects of tempering the body with spiritual energy.
"That won't do. What if something goes wrong if you don't know what's important? That's why I've been keeping an eye on you, and tonight I actually saw you climbing over the wall in the middle of the night, intending to..."
"...Okay, okay, big brother, stop talking. I'll leave now. Don't look at me like that, like I'm a pervert..."
Hearing Lin Yao's explanation, Chu Tian believed it and stopped spreading rumors everywhere. At the same time, he cursed those friends who had leaked the information.
"Actually, I think that given the weakness that Yue'er is showing, she should..."
Turning to look at Lin Yao, who was staring at him warily, he felt uneasy as the other man's intense gaze made him pause.
Especially when he sensed the other person's genuine integrity, he subconsciously touched his nose and a bitter smile appeared on his lips.
"Alright, alright, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. I'll buy a small animal to try it out tomorrow. Don't look at me like that."
Chu Tian waved his hand to indicate that he meant no harm, and then, under Lin Yao's gaze, he climbed over the wall again in the same manner.
Since it was the second time I had circumvented the Great Firewall, I seemed a bit more carefree compared to the first time.
"Finally got rid of this guy. He's very professional. Chu Yue'er is just too talented, and she's also affected by the Golden Crow Fire, rather than being really weak."
"A mere brat who has just broken through to the first level of Body Tempering shouldn't be so easily experimenting with releasing spiritual energy from his body; that's tantamount to disregarding other people's lives."
Seeing Chu Tian leave, Lin Yao thought to himself, then turned to look at the room in front of him, hesitating.
If nothing unexpected happens, Chu Yue'er, who is still four years old, should be living inside.
Lin Yao had seen this pale-faced, pitiful little girl before, but they didn't have much interaction.
Leaving aside the early-stage Nascent Soul Realm expert who was constantly protecting Chu Yue'er, that was actually the weakest protective force.
Not everyone can summon the Holy Land Elder, who is at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm, at any time using the "Strongest Summoning Technique" of the Canglan Realm.
It's easy to imagine that, apart from a handful of old monsters from holy lands, no one on the entire continent dares to provoke Chu Yue'er.
Therefore, Lin Yao hesitated in the face of this situation. After all, he was not Chu Tian, the protagonist of this cultivation game. If he were to be killed by Yuwen Shuang, he would be in big trouble.
However, at that moment, Lin Yao sensed a terrifying aura of flame emanating from the darkness, as if it were mixed with the aura of a sacred sun.
The aura was extremely faint, yet it gave off a grand feeling. It was clearly under restraint, but the radiance it emitted still spread outwards.
The other members of the Chu family who were resting felt that it was already past midnight, and were somewhat puzzled by the slight increase in temperature at night.
However, they didn't feel any other major movements while they were asleep, so they didn't pay any attention to these slight anomalies.
However, Lin Yao, who possessed the Flame Dragon Stone within his body and was standing in Chu Yue'er's courtyard, was different; he could clearly sense the power of the Golden Crow.
His expression changed slightly, and he looked in surprise toward the room where Chu Yue'er was.
"Has something happened to the Golden Crow Flame inherited by the Purple Cloud Holy Temple? Now that we're here, we should go in and check it out."
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yao walked towards the room and pushed the door open to enter.
It's rather deserted here; clearly, this girl doesn't have any maids to serve her. I don't know if she doesn't need them or if she's not used to it.
In addition, her guardian, Yuwen Shuang, who was known as the strongest early-stage Divine Realm cultivator in the Purple Cloud Holy Land, did not seem to be here either, so Lin Yao was not stopped after entering.
After walking around the screen, Lin Yao looked up and saw Chu Yue'er lying on the large bed, her face extremely pale, yet her delicate and lovely features were still undeniable.
At this moment, her body was trembling slightly, as if she was enduring some indescribable pain from within.
Her delicate nose wrinkled involuntarily, her crescent-shaped eyebrows furrowed, and beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
This girl looks delicate, soft, and adorable, a real cutie.
However, she possessed an extremely strong will, and despite enduring the pain, she did not utter a sound, making her all the more pitiful to behold.
