Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
Qiuling and the white fairy said the same thing.
“Master Jue brought me and Miss Chaoge here. I heard him telling Sefiro that to enter that door, he would need the blood of two virgins.”
Feng Wu nodded.
“Miss, I’m going in,” said Qiuling.
After that, with a splash, she jumped into the spring.
As soon as she went in, she felt as if she was being devoured by fire.
It was so painful that her mind went numb.
She felt as if her body was being torn in half.
Sweat rolled down her cheeks.
Qiuling could feel blood seeping out through her pores.
The tiny amount didn’t change the color of the spring.
But…
It was so painful.
Qiuling felt as if she was going to turn into a mist of blood, and each second was more unbearable than the previous one.
Seeing Qiuling’s sweaty face and how it was twisted with pain —
Feng Wu could almost feel her pain. Qiuling’s popping veins were throbbing.
How painful it had to be!
Feng Wu turned to look at the white fairy.
The white fairy shrugged with a wry smile. “I told you before, didn’t I? It’s more painful than walking on knives and swimming in boiling oil.”
Feng Wu clenched her fists. There was a moment that she wanted to lift Qiuling out of the spring.
“I won’t do that if I were you,” the white fairy said unhurriedly. “If she can’t take it and passes out, the ghosts will get her out of the spring when her life is in danger.”
Just then —
Rumble —
Feng Wu then heard a distinctive sound.
Her eyes lit up!
It was the sound of a breakthrough.
After the unbearable pain Qiuling went through, in a matter of minutes, she rose from a Level 9 Spiritual Master to a Level 1 Spiritual Grandmaster.
Ding —
Level 2 Spiritual Grandmaster.
Ding —
Level 3 Spiritual Grandmaster.
Feng Wu’s eyes lit up. “That speed is incredible.”
The white fairy nodded and said, “Let’s go.”
Feng Wu nodded. After taking a final look at Qiuling, she turned to leave.
According to the white fairy, if Qiuling’s life was in danger, the ghosts would get her out of the spring.
Feng Wu frowned when she stepped out of the room.
“What?”
The white fairy looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment.
Feng Wu scratched her head. “Somehow, I think I’ve forgotten something very important.”
The white fairy glanced at Feng Wu. “What is it?”
Feng Wu patted her head. “The idea keeps drifting in and out of my mind, but I just can’t grasp it.”
The white fairy said grumpily, “Stop trying to remember, then.”
Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “But I just feel that it’s something very important — life-threateningly important.”
The white fairy didn’t know what to say.
Feng Wu searched her memory as she walked. Suddenly, she smacked her head and let out a cry.
Baffled, the white fairy turned her head to look at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu frowned. “I know what it is…”
“What is it?”
“It’s about Sefiro and Master Jue. Oh god… I’m in trouble.”
The white fairy looked at Feng Wu in bewilderment.
Feng Wu smiled bitterly. “Master Jue is in love with someone called Catnine, whom I killed and impersonated, and Sefiro knows that…”
