Everyone’s emotions rose and fell like a roller coaster. They originally thought they would be paralyzed from the fall, but to their surprise, they landed on the ground in the blink of an eye.
It seemed they had returned to the stone forest that previously served as the entrance to the mystic realm.
Caught off guard, the people tumbled into a pile and smacked into all sorts of rocks, turning bruised all over.
Nonetheless, our dear Qiao Mu’s luck was quite decent, and her bottom was cushioned by the back of poor Duan Yue’s head. She looked up at the sky, confused.
She subconsciously extended her delicate hand, white as snow, and watched as a round bead, the size of a fist, slowly dropped into her hand.
The youth’s face immediately turned green! He arched his head up as his handsome face flushed red. Qiao Mu hastily dusted off her behind and stood up.
As though springs were installed to the bottom of his feet, Duan Yue shot up and angrily glared at Qiao Mu.
The child, however, turned a blind eye to him and concentrated on looking down at the pure white bead in her hand, her eyes narrowing centimeter by centimeter. How strange, why did she feel like there were a peach forest and lake inside of the transparent bead? It looked quite familiar. It resembled… a shrunken version of the paradise?
Qiao Mu shook her hand and tipped over the bead, finding it fascinating as a ripple of the dark green lake water slowly rolled inside the bead.
“This is… the paradise refined?” Duan Yue’s eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets as he stared at Qiao Mu, dumbfounded. “You? How did you do it!”
He had originally thought this girl was merely refining and absorbing the mystic energy inside the paradise. He did not think she would be out of her mind and refine the entire paradise!
This method of directly refining the mystic realm solely existed in the secret annals handed down from ancient times. Duan Yue had once learned about it from an ancient text, but that was completely different from witnessing it with his own eyes!
No wonder the paradise would collapse! Imagine this, the entire paradise was refined by this child, so how could it not collapse? Why shouldn’t it collapse?
The child’s “I don’t know” and “I didn’t do this” expression as she looked back at Duan Yue rendered him speechless.
This child wasn’t some incarnation of some old demon, right?
“The paradise was refined!” Instantly reacting, Yao Ji could not hide the greed in her eyes. She used one hand to reach for the round bead in the child’s hand while using her other hand to clap toward the child’s chest.
Qiao Mu took a step back, and her face was taut as she brandished her black ferule to receive the blow.
Boom!
White mystic light flurried around them.
Qiao Mu barely suppressed a mouthful of churning qi and blood, and afterward, she turned to icily look at the shocked Yao Ji.
Yao Ji had employed all of the power of a level-seven mystic cultivator this time but was still unable to harm the child in the slightest. Hence, not only was Yao Ji shocked, but trauma also encroached into her heart.
“What are you still waiting for! Hurry and release me!” Duan Yue extended his tied hands to the child.
Speaking of which, this rope was quite interesting. It was useless regardless of how hard the bound person struggled, but outsiders only needed to lightly pull one of the slipknots and would successfully unravel the rope.
Qiao Mu glanced at the youth but did not torment him anymore. She pulled the rope before promptly stuffing the hemp rope into her chest fold, taking it for her own use.
As soon as Duan Yue obtained his freedom, he pulled a handful of nails from his chest and carelessly scattered them.
Yao Ji instantly flew back, rage visible in her eyes.
When she barely stood still, a black gale-like shadow suddenly whooshed past her, forming a hand that was as wretched and pale as five chicken bones. It grabbed toward Qiao Mu’s shoulder.
Yao Ji’s face shifted drastically as she angrily admonished, “You dare to steal from under my nose, Ghost Saber!”
At the same time, Duan Yue subconsciously jumped forward. He was also a bit dumbfounded about why he would rush forward and stand in front of the d*mn child at a critical moment like this and meet Ghost Saber’s claw.
Creak.
