Chapter 41 She Lost Her Spiritual Power Temporarily

Ronghua also knew little about Baize, because they lived in different periods. When Baize was born, the gods should still be under the rule of the previous God Empress at that time. Ronghua had never met Baize since he had already disappeared before she was born. Now, there was neither the one who had ever seen him nor any record of him. It seemed that someone had erased his story intentionally.

Ronghua had no idea whether Baize left or was dead. Besides, as Xia Pumo and Murong Zhe said, she also didn’t know what he looked like after so many years.

If he was already transformable, did he look like a beautiful woman or a handsome man now? It should be a question.

They just stepped forward aimlessly. — At least Xia Pumo thought so. Ronghua walked in front, followed by Murong Zhe and him. Murong Zhe held his hand tightly in a good mood as if they were taking a walk.

Were they looking for Baize like this?

Xia Pumo asked with some uncertainty, “Well… Ronghua, where are we going now?”

All of a sudden, Ronghua awoke from her thoughts and stopped, “… I don’t know, either!”

“Mm!”

“Mm?”

Xia Pumo and Murong Zhe were shocked by Ronghua at the same time again!

“What do you mean? If you don’t know the destination, where are you guiding us now?”

It turned out that the road through which they had walked just now was all in vain.

They didn’t have to walk before. But now Ronghua had no spiritual power, and Murong Zhe’s power was not enough, while Xia Pumo’s power only restored to about one-tenth of the total and couldn’t afford them to fly with a sword, so they had to walk like this. Xia Pumo had thought that Ronghua was guiding them to find Baize, but unexpectedly, she didn’t know where Baize was either. If it were not that he stopped them, how far would they continue to go?

Ronghua turned around without looking at their eyes, “I have lost a lot and become unable to use some things, so now my younger sister is the only one who can find Baize.”

Murong Zhe said, “Your… sister?” Did she have a sister?

Ronghua nodded, “Yes!”

Xia Pumo asked, “Who is your sister?”

Ronghua became silent. She indeed didn’t want to talk about this topic. In the past, she always had no idea how to answer when other people asked her such a question, but now she replied, “My sister is a person better than me.”

Surely, Qingyi was much better than her. At least Qingyi wouldn’t be so weak as her to allow others to take her spiritual weapon away. In the past, Ronghua promised before leaving that she would abandon her weakness and walk around the world with the coldest and kindest heart.

But it seemed to be doomed that she could never acquire how to rule and make the gods live forever like what her mother did. She was not as decisive as her mother, who could use herself to save the gods because of a prophecy. She was unable to do so and could only use one to make up the other blindly.

To put it bluntly, she was weak.

“Ronghua… are you okay?” Xia Pumo asked with some worry. Seeing Ronghua suddenly stopped and no longer spoke, he wondered if he had mentioned something sad for her.

Ronghua shook her head, “I’m fine. Let’s go. My sister is just there. She has a somewhat bad temper, and you need to pay attention to it.”

Qingyi’s temper was not so good, indeed.

But Murong Zhe didn’t move. Noticing it while walking forward, Xia Pumo turned his head and said, “Zhe, let’s go!”

However, Murong Zhe still stood there. He asked with some uncertainty, “Ronghua, is that… true?”

“What?” Xia Pumo looked in the direction of Murong Zhe’s finger, and then he was stunned.

Ronghua also looked in the direction of his finger and soon found a monster staring at them. Her heart sank!

A grade 5 crack-patterned tiger! It was equivalent to the level of Xia Pumo in the past. Why would there be such a crack-patterned tiger?

Ronghua felt amused and dumbfounded. She had a really “good” luck. It was the edge of the monster forest, and generally speaking, there would be no mighty monsters coming here. Even if there were, the monsters should be of grade 1 or grade 2 and would never be so powerful. Besides, this tiger should have been robust, but now he looked a bit malnourished. Did he overeat?

It should be the fact that he ran out of the forest because of the monster cluster and then mutated after eating a lot of monsters. But the cluster of monsters had passed for a long time, and he should have left. However, he was still here. Was it that he had overeaten and fallen asleep here, and so he stayed here until now?

They looked at each other as an asking of how to deal with the matter.

Murong Zhe wore a helpless expression and perfectly showed an appearance of “I have no power and even cannot protect myself.”

Xia Pumo also looked grave. His spiritual power recovered too slowly somehow. Not to mention this crack-patterned tiger of grade 5, even if it were a monster of grade 1, he might fail in the fight it.

Ronghua felt like weeping but had no tears. She knew what luck was now. They should be the most potent combination, but now they couldn’t even beat a crack-patterned tiger. It was just of grade 5, but they felt it challenging to defeat. How come would she be afraid of this if she had her fan?

As long as she wielded her fan, she could defeat the monster immediately, and it would never be so troublesome.

But now neither she nor Murong Zhe or Xia Pumo had this ability. It was quite annoying. While she was already in a bad mood, the monster came with a death wish.

If this monster defeated her, she would be eaten by him before recovering. How terrible it was!

Consciously, Ronghua moved backward slowly.

Murong Zhe sneered, thinking, “Coward!”

Xia Pumo said, “Ronghua, don’t move. As soon as you step back, he will think that you are afraid and take an attack immediately.” Although he said so, he got close to Ronghua silently, keeping her out of the monster’s sight.

Murong Zhe’s face turned dark again.

“Mo…”

Xia Pumo asked, “What’s up?”

Noticing Murong Zhe’s look with the grievance, Xia Pumo was unaware of what he had done wrong, while Ronghua thought speechlessly, “Murong Zhe, aren’t you too mean?”

Sure enough, as the crack-patterned tiger saw Ronghua backing away, he slowly showed a grim expression.

The monster had been somewhat afraid of the three people, especially the woman who had a pressure of blood power. He had thought that he would have some difficulties in eating them, and in fact, he didn’t make up his mind to take an attack. In the past, when he was driven away from the forest center by the monster cluster, he thought himself would die. But unexpectedly, he became more powerful after eating many monsters that had been killed in the accident on the periphery. Then he began to feel quite self-satisfied.

He began to eat whatever he met.

Later, he smelled a strong taste of spiritual power. If it were in the past, he would never dare to approach them. But now he was inflated by his strength, so he came over without any consideration. At the first sight of the three people, his first instinct was — to escape.

He was thinking about how to escape, but the woman backed away first. “Is she scared? Is she afraid of me? Maybe this woman is not as strong as she looks like, and it should be an illusion.” He was full of confidence suddenly.

Ronghua stood behind Xia Pumo and asked, “Mo, how much spiritual power do you have in your body?”

Xia Pumo froze for a moment, “… One or two-tenth!”

Ronghua said firmly, “Enough!”

Murong Zhe looked at her strangely, “What do you want to do?”

Ronghua smiled, and Murong Zhe immediately felt something terrible was about to happen.

Sure enough.

Ronghua asked, “Mo, can you parry for a while?”

Xia Pumo said, “Okay.”

“No!!” Murong Zhe interrupted.

He didn’t believe Ronghua as much as Xia Pumo did, “What do you want to do? Mo has only recovered a bit, and how can you let him fend off the attack?”

With an angry look, Murong Zhe disagreed with Ronghua’s decision apparently.

Murong Zhe pointed to Ronghua, “Do you know why you are stuck in this predicament now?”

Ronghua, “…”

Murong Zhe continued, “You are too arrogant and ignore the life and death of others, because in your eyes, no matter how many injuries they suffer, you can make them recover without any postoperative pain. You could save them even if they died. However, have you ever thought about their feelings in their heart?”

Ronghua said, “You overreacted, baby.”

Murong Zhe indeed overreacted. Xia Pumo also looked at him helplessly. Although Xia Pumo was confused by Murong Zhe’s words at first, he understood quickly. According to Ronghua’s current behaviors, he felt that she must have done many incredible things before.

Murong Zhe, “…”

Xia Pumo said, “Zhe, I’m fine. Now, in such a situation, I am the strongest and the most suitable person to do this. If I refused to help her, none of us could escape.”

Ignoring the explanation, Murong Zhe hugged Xia Pumo tightly, “I don’t care. Anyway, I will not allow you to go.”

Ronghua, “…”

“What else can I say!” She thought, “Don’t you feel tired of staying together every day?”

Ronghua supported her forehead and said helplessly, “Mo, lend me some spiritual power.”

Xia Pumo asked, “What?”

Ronghua took his hand, “Well… your spiritual power!”

Ronghua took Xia Pumo’s hand like this and then sucked away all his spiritual power directly.

Murong Zhe was speechless, thinking, “How could you borrow his power after failing in borrowing himself? Ronghua, aren’t you unwilling to see Mo and me fine?”

Seeing Murong Zhe’s scary expression, Ronghua felt a little excited suddenly.

Xia Pumo’s body was already frail, and now he lost all his power. All these made him instantly topple back forward weakly. Fortunately, Murong Zhe hugged him.

Murong Zhe gritted his teeth, “Ronghua…”

Ronghua turned around with a smile and pointed to the crack-patterned tiger approaching them, “I’m here…”

A beam of light showed up around them. Ronghua continued, “… But I still can’t beat it!”

Murong Zhe said, “… It is so awkward and disheartening, Ronghua!”

Then a circle of spells flew towards them. Yes, it came towards them, not to the crack-patterned tiger.

In a blink, the tiger’s paw fell but only caught some soil on the ground. He was not smart enough!

“Where are they?”

Murong Zhe and Xia Pumo only felt a flash of light, and then the world became quiet.

Then they heard Ronghua’s voice, “Okay, it’s safe. It’s nearly a paradise here.”

Xia Pumo opened his eyes and saw a sea of peach blossom. Where was this place?

Murong Zhe helped Xia Pumo up, “So, you borrowed the power of Mo to get here!”

With her back facing them, Ronghua walked and asked, “Couldn’t I? This place is safe and also okay for cultivation!”

Xia Pumo stood up, “Cultivation?”

Ronghua stopped, “From what happened just now, I found out that even if we don’t go to enrage others, there will be someone to bother us. Besides, I have no spiritual power, and you are still recovering while he has no entity at all. In such a condition, let alone going to find Baize, even finding my sister will be a little difficult.”

Xia Pumo said, “The nimbus here seems to be sufficient.”

Ronghua turned around and said proudly, “Of course. It is the Peach Blossoms Land of Lingxujin. Or where do you think it is?”

Xia Pumo said with some disbelief, “Peach Blossoms Land of Lingxujin! Is it that Land of Peach Blossoms?”

Ronghua smiled and said nothing, seeming like a tacit approval.

Murong Zhe murmured, “Peach Blossoms Land of Lingxujin. You even brought us here? It’s amazing.”

Ronghua stared at him, impatiently, “So what? Do you think I won’t take you to such a place?”

Murong Zhe chuckled, “Well, I don’t mean that. I just think you are quite powerful. You can get here with the help of the little power of Mo. How powerful will you be when you return to your peak?”

Ronghua thought about it but didn’t know how to answer. Murong Zhe did care too much.

She pursed her lips and then smiled, “No matter how powerful I am, I will never hurt the person who truly loves me. It is my vow.”

Hearing her words, Murong Zhe gave her a rare nod. Others might have no idea of how vital a vow was to a person, but he knew it very well.

Ronghua took out a book, “Mo, your Golden Pellet is reshaped by me, and it is very different from other humans’.”

Xia Pumo took the book, “What’s the difference?”

Ronghua replied, “In simple terms, if you continue to cultivate in the human’s way, you can achieve less progress, so you can only practice by following this book.”

Murong Zhe pulled Xia Pumo over directly, “Okay, enough. I got it, and I will teach him.”

After he finished speaking, he left with Xia Pumo.

The corner of Ronghua’s mouth twitched. She wondered, “How eager are you?”
