Within this Secret Realm, there is also an area permeated by Death Qi; any living person who touches it will undoubtedly die! It can be called an absolute forbidden zone!
Clearly, Old Second Huang was referring to this place.
“My fault, my fault!” Old Third Huang, having been scolded, chuckled sheepishly and quickly lowered his voice, “But will that little slut fall for it? I feel she’s slicker than a monkey!”
“Don’t worry.” Old Second Huang licked his lips and smiled confidently, “As long as the bait is tempting enough, the fish will definitely take the hook! In the end, she is just a Young Girl who hasn't seen much of the world. Does she deserve to play mind games with me, Old Second Huang?”
I will definitely make her realize that the old ginger is spicier!
“That’s right.” Old Third Huang nodded fiercely, “What does she think she is? Daring to fight us, she truly doesn't know what’s good for her.”
“Hmph, hmph~ As long as we trick her into that realm of death, even if she had a hundred lives, it wouldn't be enough to die! As for that silly sweet girl left behind, she’s not worth worrying about!”
“You are absolutely right, Brother. As expected of you, you are incredibly cunning. But, what if she insists on taking us in with her?”
“It’s fine, I have a clever plan! At that time, we will just do this…”
The two leaned their heads together and chirped quietly, and several hours passed without them realizing it.
Meanwhile, Miao Miaomiao on the Spirit Platform was circulating her Cultivation Method while Spiritual Qi poured madly into her body.
That translucent Spirit Root, like the signal light on an Ultraman’s chest when its time is almost up, flickered incessantly, “deer lang deer lang~”, resembling a hungry, waiting child.
Miao Miaomiao chuckled happily: “My child, don’t panic, your mother will definitely let you absorb enough!”
...Several days passed in a flash. Just as the two Huangs were getting impatient waiting, the two women on the Spirit Platform finally finished!
“Hoo~” Miao Miaomiao slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
Her Cultivation Level jumped from the Seventh Layer of Qi Refining all the way to the Perfection of Qi Refining, just a tiny bit away from breaking through the Bottleneck and becoming a Foundation Establishment Realm big shot!
And Shi Wanyue beside her, living up to her title as the Female Protagonist, leaped from the first layer of Foundation Establishment to the fifth layer of Foundation Establishment.
The Spiritual Qi on the Spirit Platform was almost completely depleted by this time. The two women exchanged a smile and jumped off the Spirit Platform simultaneously.
Old Second Huang smiled obsequiously: “Oh my, congratulations, congratulations! I didn't expect you two to increase your Cultivation Level so much in such a short time. I am ashamed of my own inferiority.”
“That’s because you are too weak!” Miao Miaomiao scolded without any politeness, “Look at you two, you’re already so old, yet you’ve only just reached Foundation Establishment! Have you been cultivating into a dog’s stomach all these years? So unmotivated, I feel embarrassed for you!”
Damn it, is it going to kill you not to tell the truth! So what if we’re weak? We didn't eat your food! Old Second Huang was grinding his teeth in anger but dared not retort, so he could only force a smile: “Yes, yes! We are trash, how can we compare to you two Heaven's Proud Daughters!”
“Hmph, it’s good that you know!” Miao Miaomiao was not humble at all, placing both hands behind her back, “Between us, there is a difference between heaven and mud. It is your fortune to be able to gaze upon our heroic bearing!”
Look at her showing off! Anyone who didn't know better would think she was some super big shot from the Upper Realm! Old Second Huang inwardly cursed, his eyes darting around: “Fairy Miao, I see your Cultivation Level has also hit a Bottleneck. Why not take this opportunity to charge forward a bit?”
“Oh? You have a way?” Miao Miaomiao looked at the old fellow in front of her with a half-smile.
Her intuition told her that this old fellow meant no good, she just didn't know what scheme he was hatching.
“It’s like this…”
Just as Old Second Huang was about to speak, Old Third beside him anxiously interjected: “Second Brother, no! You can’t tell her! That’s our secret!”
“Sigh!” Old Second Huang deliberately sighed, looking resigned, “Third Brother, at this point, there’s no need to keep this secret anymore! I believe if we tell Fairy Miao, she will definitely consider letting us off with our lives.”
Miao Miaomiao pursed her lips and smiled: “Mm, perhaps there really is such a possibility~”
“Then I’ll tell you the truth, the most valuable Spirit Plants in this Secret Realm are actually in a Black Forest in the southeast direction. Moreover, there is a very remarkable treasure hidden inside. As long as you obtain it, your strength will definitely soar!”
“Ah, yes, yes!” Old Third quickly chimed in, “That thing is incredibly powerful! So many people coveted it before, but they all returned without success. It must be waiting for a Fated Person, and there’s no need to doubt that person is definitely you!”
Seeing the two old fellows constantly urging her, Shi Wanyue moved closer to Miao Miaomiao and lowered her voice: “Senior Sister, don’t trust them! I feel they don’t mean well.”
How could Miao Miaomiao not know what mischief these two old fellows were plotting? She gently patted her hand: “Relax, I know what I’m doing.”
She coughed lightly and adopted a serious expression, “Since there is such a treasure trove, why don’t you hurry up and lead the way?”
“Hey! Follow us!” Seeing that she had taken the bait, the faces of the two old fellows simultaneously showed smiles of a Cunning Plan succeeding.
The two of them trotted ahead to lead the way, while Miao Miaomiao and the other followed at a leisurely pace behind.
After walking for about an hour, they finally reached the vicinity of the destination.
Ahead was a dense forest, with gray mist permeating between the trees, looking particularly eerie.
Old Second Huang stooped over, smiling obsequiously: “Fairy, it’s right here!”
Miao Miaomiao narrowed her eyes to peer inside. Very good! This forest clearly has problems!
But she still asked knowingly: “You aren’t planning to harm me, are you?”
“How did you know…” Old Third Huang almost let it slip, but fortunately, Old Second Huang was quick-witted and stepped on him at the critical moment, preventing him from exposing them.
Then he laughed heartily: “Fairy, you jest! How could we possibly harm you? This place truly holds a great Opportunity, you wouldn’t want to miss out on it for nothing, would you?”
Miao Miaomiao did not reply. At this moment, she could clearly sense that the Nether Spirit Root inside her body was extremely restless, looking impatient.
It seemed entering this forest was unavoidable!
She rolled her eyes and looked at the two brothers with a smile: “Fine, same old rules, you two scout ahead…”
“Aiya~~” As soon as the words fell, the two old fellows collapsed to the ground with great coordination, screaming miserably, “I can’t! My injury is acting up, I’m going to die, going to die! Ah!! I’m in so much pain… Ugh ah!”
The two brothers wailed while spitting bloody foam, their bodies convulsing wildly. It looked quite convincing, and soon they stopped moving.
Miao Miaomiao pouted: Great acting, don’t do it again next time. What kind of corpse farts like it’s hiccupping?
She ignored these two fools and walked slowly toward the forest.
Watching her lift her foot, the two old fellows’ eyes immediately lit up with joy, their narrow slits gleaming brightly! She’s going! She’s going! She’s walking toward her death!
“Senior Sister…”
Shi Wanyue wanted to follow but was stopped by Miao Miaomiao, who shook her head: “It’s fine, I’ll observe the outer area first. You don’t need to come.”
“Then be careful. If the situation is not right, retreat quickly,” Shi Wanyue reminded her warmly.
Miao Miaomiao: ?(????????)?????
Soon, she understood the reason. This forest was covered in Death Qi; ordinary people would surely die if they touched it!
These two old things wanted to trick me inside so I would be contaminated by the Death Qi and perish, allowing them to be free.
But unfortunately, their plan had misfired.
