Chapter 128: The Appearance of Soul Breath
They didn’t venture too deep into the cave. You You used Messaging Talismans to contact Yuan Qi, informing him about her location change before settling down to wait. Wu Yue wore a pensive expression, occasionally stealing glances at her as if wrestling with some internal conflict.
Her initial look of ordinary contemplation gradually shifted into something more unsettling—her gaze grew increasingly dazed and obsessive until…
Hey, the drooling was crossing a line!
"You… celestial maiden… you’re truly beautiful," Wu Yue suddenly leaned closer, staring fixedly at You You’s face. "Since you’re wiser than me, why not become my Follower? Or I’ll be yours instead!"
"…?" What nonsense was this?
You You flicked the girl’s forehead. "Brat, quit spouting rubbish."
"It’s not rubbish!" Wu Yue rubbed her forehead, the idea growing on her. If You You became her Follower, she could simply obey the prettier one—what a brilliant solution for a celestial maiden!
Noticing You You’s reluctance, she pressed earnestly, "Do you think I’m weak? Don’t worry—I’ll reach the Golden Core Stage within two years!"
"Oh." How impressive.
"Really!" Wu Yue straightened defensively. "I’m at Foundation Building’s peak! Few in the Immortal Realm achieve Golden Core in twenty years!"
"Really?" You You blinked. "But Lin Feng formed his Golden Core nine years ago."
"What?!" That was twice her speed—impossible!
"Oh, and Ling Qi from the Yuan Family?" You You added casually. "He’s already ascended to the next cultivation stage."
…Crack. Something inside Wu Yue seemed to shatter.
Must you crush people like this?!
Before You You could continue, blinding white light erupted outside the cave. The sky blazed with multicolored radiance as a glowing mass descended through thinning mist.
Little Flame burst from the guardian beasts bag, zipping toward the distant glow before circling back urgently.
"Is that… Soul Breath?" You You guessed.
The flame curled into an excited circle. Realization struck—as descendants of the Divine Clan, both Feng Rong and Yuan Qi would recognize Soul Breath. It had appeared sooner than expected!
"What’s happening?" Wu Yue joined her at the entrance.
"Stay here—it’s safe." You You mounted her sword, chasing the fading glow. No time to wait for reinforcements.
"Wait!" Wu Yue hesitated, then pursued.
Flying through residual mist demanded cautious navigation. Tracking the light’s trajectory led them to a dense woodland.
"You You, wait!" Wu Yue landed breathlessly behind her.
"Why follow?"
"You said it’s dangerous! Safety in numbers!"
Little Flame crackled insistently toward the right. They pushed through thick foliage until the flame whirled madly around a colossal tree—three-meter trunk towering over others, yet otherwise ordinary.
"It’s here?!" The tree showed no special features except…
"Look up!" Wu Yue pointed.
A palm-sized fruit glimmered with familiar rainbow hues atop the branches. You You retrieved Yuan Qi’s prepared containment box. As she plucked the Soul Breath-infused fruit, the entire tree withered to ash within seconds.
Still clutching the fruit, You You stared. What sorcery was this?
"Ah!"
Red flames spiderwebbed across the cracking earth below. The forest flushed crimson as sinister black mist seeped from the ground. Wu Yue stumbled toward a fissure—You You yanked her back just in time.
"What’s happening?!"
Examining the crimson-drenched woods, You You paled. "This is no ordinary forest—it’s the Grievous Spirit Forest!"
Wu Yue blanched. No wonder the anomalous single fruit… The blood-colored light, creeping black mist—this matched every description of that cursed place.
