Stones.
Large batches of stones.
A mountain of stones!
The empty space in front of her had unknowingly been occupied by countless piled-up rocks! The path was almost completely blocked!
“Why are there so many?!” Chu Liuyue blurted out in shock. I had thought it would only be a few dozen stones at most!
Rong Xiu raised his chin subtly.
Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat as she suddenly thought of something. She then stiffly turned her neck and looked back.
Stones—behind her were still stones!
Surrounding the two of them were stones that had almost piled up into a barrier!
Upon closer look, those stones were clearly shining with totems! Different God Realms had already entered these rocks!
Chu Liuyue gasped. I had only closed my eyes to rest for a while and traced a few Xuan formations. Why did the world become like this the moment I opened my eyes?!
The only consolation was that the last bit of pressure around them had completely dissipated. Standing here now was basically no different from the outside.
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched harshly. If… I don’t think about the fact that those God Realms have already been scattered among these stones, I might feel better.
“Are we… still… going out?” Chu Liuyue asked Rong Xiu with difficulty.
He raised his eyebrows and chuckled. “These God Realms have already hidden themselves, and the turbulence above has already calmed down. We can naturally get out.”
As he spoke, he had already held her hand.
Their fingers intertwined.
Chu Liuyue calmed down a little and nodded. “That’s great.”
I have a feeling that something will happen if I continue to stay here…
“Let’s go.” As Rong Xiu spoke, he was about to bring her up.
“Wait.” Chu Liuyue suddenly stopped him, turned around, and took a step forward.
Clang!
The rocks piled up in front of them suddenly rolled to the sides, quickly clearing a wide path in the middle!
Chu Liuyue’s movements froze in midair. I just… I just wanted to pick up Rong Xiu’s cloak!!! What the hell are these stones doing!!!
Chu Liuyue gritted her teeth and picked up the cloak on the ground. It was stained with some dust, so she turned her wrist and shook it gently.
Clang!
The stones gathered again and lined up neatly in front of her.
Chu Liuyue was confused.
“They seem to listen to you.” Rong Xiu held back his laughter and took the cloak. At the same time, he leaned close to her ear and said this teasingly.
His warm breath landed on her neck and behind her ear, making her feel a little itchy.
She shrunk her neck and turned around to glare at Rong Xiu angrily. “Nonsense—”
Shua shua shua!
Several stones suddenly flew up and headed straight for Rong Xiu! They were extremely fast and had a cold aura!
Chu Liuyue’s eyes turned sharp as she immediately took a step forward with force surging around her.
Sensing her movements, the stones actually stopped!
Chu Liuyue widened her eyes.
The stones floated for a while. Sensing her aura, they hurriedly turned back.
It was unknown if they were afraid of being reprimanded or something, but they actually specially hid behind the other stones and waited obediently.
Chu Liuyue was speechless.
Rong Xiu couldn’t help chuckling. “I told you so, but you didn’t believe me.”
Chu Liuyue’s temples throbbed.
…
“Two steps to the left.”
“Take two steps to the right.”
“Forward—forget it, forget it. Three steps back!”
“Who rushed out and planned to attack just now? Come out, all of you. Yes, I’m talking about the few of you. Hurry up! Dance again for me to see.”
“Alright, alright. Go back, go back!”
…
Chu Liuyue rubbed her face. After a period of inspection, she finally realized that Rong Xiu was right.
For some reason, these stones suddenly became obedient to her! If she said to go left, they were afraid to go right. If she said to take two steps, they would never take three.
She chose a few stones to jump, and they actually did as she said!
Looking at the rocks piled up in front of her, she felt a headache. What is wrong? What went wrong in the middle?
“Is it because they touched me just now that they’re so obedient now?” Chu Liuyue crossed her arms and rested her chin on one hand as she fell into deep thought.
“Originally, these stones were separated from these God Realms. It’s precisely because of you that they can fuse with each other. This might allow the battle intent in them to last longer… That’s why they treat you like this,” explained Rong Xiu.
“Battle intent?” Chu Liuyue rubbed her temples. How could there be any battle intent with such a soft and harmless appearance?! What happened to being extremely ferocious? Where is the imposing aura? Why does the battle intent completely change when it comes to me?
She could not figure it out.
After a moment’s thought, there was no answer.
She sighed. “Forget it; we’ll discuss these questions later. Let’s go out first.”
As she spoke, she waved at the stones in front of her. “Excuse me.”
Clang!
The piled stones immediately made way.
The two of them walked forward and flew up together! Without that terrifying pressure, their movements became much smoother.
But after a while, Chu Liuyue heard a strange fluctuation from below.
Her heart skipped a beat; then, she slowly looked down.
A ‘river’ formed by stones was surging from the bottom up!
Unlike the previous time outside, the stones were very restrained, polite, and obedient this time.
They were orderly and neat! Apart from the sound of rushing wind, there was almost no sound of collision between them.
If Chu Liuyue hadn’t sensed something and looked down, she might not have noticed this abnormality.
She felt like she was going crazy. Why are these stones so difficult to deal with? I’ve offended many people in the past and have never seen anyone as persistent as these stones.
“Are they going to keep chasing us like this?” she asked in disbelief.
Rong Xiu paused and suddenly smiled. “Don’t you think that they’re not chasing after you but… following you?”
