Chapter 692 - 691: Ghost Gate

Chapter 692: Chapter 691: Ghost Gate

Yue Xi looked at Pure Goodness. "You seemed very mischievous when you were alive."

Submerged with only her head above the water, Pure Goodness blew some bubbles. "That was the subjective consciousness from before death. We’re a product of what came after."

Yue Xi didn’t mind. She looked over at Pure Evil and asked, "How much longer is she going to be calculating?"

Pure Goodness shook her head. "I don’t know. But aren’t you going to notify the other Saintesses?"

Yue Xi said, "I just remembered—there’s no signal in there. And since you can’t give an exact location, telling them would be worse than not."

Pure Goodness asked curiously, "Why? Also, can you stop washing your feet? I feel like I’m drinking your foot-washing water."

Yue Xi said, "Hey, I remember last time we went to fight the Blood Demon, you said I could wash my feet here as I please."

Speaking of attacking the Blood Demon, Yue Xi couldn’t help but say, "I feel like everything completely changed after that. I wonder if that palace is still there."

Pure Goodness said, "Can you answer my question first?"

Yue Xi smiled. "Because it would limit them. If they know nothing, their path can be infinitely wide. Though it could also become narrow, with Ah Yue’s personality, I don’t think it will.

Xiaojiu’s bizarre Talent is not to be underestimated, either.

Xiaojiang’s luck seems to be off the charts.

As for Qing Lian... it’s hard to say. Good people don’t tend to live long. I just need her to come back alive.

After I let Qing Lian go, Junior Sister Qing Yue complained to me, saying she’d be led astray by those two wild kids.

She said it as if the kids I raise are particularly wild or something."

Pure Goodness just blew bubbles, saying nothing.

’Do you really have no self-awareness?’

Su Qi was walking down the street. She had also just stopped to watch her senior sister’s video. The video was still up, but it was paused, and she had no idea how long she’d have to wait.

Su Qi looked at the streets and discovered the entire town was under a Seal. It was as if time had been frozen. ’How terrifying.’

As a Cultivator, she naturally tried to understand the principles of Cultivation behind this Seal. In short, it was completely unimaginable. She had never even heard of such a Seal.

This was practically a form of Chang Sheng. ’Could I emulate it?’

’If my husband’s life were about to end, I could put him under a Seal, then find a way to release him later.’

But after only a moment’s thought, Su Qi smiled. ’Of course not.’

She just wanted to be with her husband. No matter how long or how difficult, living their lives together like this was enough.

And be buried together in the end.

A hundred years, a thousand, ten thousand—it would all be the same.

Always the same.

So, this wicked path of using a Seal was not an option.

Su Qi walked on, and though this place felt different from the outside world, there was nothing particularly remarkable about it. It just had an exotic atmosphere.

She looked around. Although there were Cultivators in the city, their Cultivation levels weren’t particularly high. ’I probably just can’t perceive the ones with higher Cultivation,’ she figured.

She flew into mid-air, unsure of where to go. Then, she called Xueyu.

"Senior Sister, what is it?" Xueyu asked.

Su Qi said, "Xueyu, do you remember my idea from last time? Let’s try to create a resonance."

Xueyu replied, "But we’ve never tried it over a long distance, have we? Besides, it’ll be intercepted by the male Candidacy Saintesses."

Su Qi shook her head. "No, this time, you three create the resonance. I’m going to see if I can intercept it."

Xueyu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Su Qi knew she was different from Jingyue; she didn’t possess such keen perception. But after creating a resonance, it was a different story.

Even with only three people, it would be enough.

When Xueyu and the others began to resonate, Su Qi went to the edge of her leaf and looked at the other leaves.

Just then, the leaves belonging to Xueyu, Yiruo, and Xiaoxiao lit up and began to resonate.

When the resonance reached a certain point, Su Qi saw a beam of light flash out, just as she’d expected.

At that moment, Su Qi focused her mind on catching that beam of light.

And just as she’d thought, the light instantly connected to her leaf.

DING!

Su Qi felt her senses sharpen considerably. Then she felt it—something was waiting for her.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Qi rushed toward it.

It was outside the city, in the middle of the large island.

’I’d much rather see what’s going on with Qianning and You Si,’ she thought. ’That would be so much nicer.’

All this about how difficult and dangerous the future is... it’s just awful. It makes me feel like I’m living in abject misery.

And on top of that, their Saintess Corps has to act as saviors of the world.

Especially her senior sister. It feels like she’s getting a particularly raw deal.

Out on the open sea, Chi Xue Child was eating a popsicle. He was about to finish it, which was annoying.

’Do I really have to comprehend the Bloody Wave?’

’How sinister.’

Although Chi Xue Child wasn’t too bothered by it, being mistaken for a Demon Cultivator while traveling was exhausting.

Mo Yan would probably try to make him join the Demon Cultivators and then charge him an initiation fee.

Speaking of which, it seemed he was now completely broke.

Just as Chi Xue Child was having this thought, a huge wave suddenly surged on the sea. Then, he saw an incomparably massive fish.

The fish’s mouth was wide open; it would swallow him in no time.

"My luck’s not so great today," Chi Xue Child said, crunching down the rest of his popsicle.

After flying out of the entrance, everyone else had made it to the island, while he alone was left floating on the sea.

Floating was bad enough, but now he was about to be eaten by a fish. It was just one thing after another.

And this was the kind of trouble he couldn’t even avoid.

Since he couldn’t avoid it, Chi Xue Child didn’t try to. He charged right into the Big Fish’s mouth. ’Hopefully, this fish’s stomach isn’t that powerful, or I’m going to be digested.’

Once inside, Chi Xue Child felt himself falling endlessly. The fish was ridiculously huge. It was a good thing the sea was so vast, or it wouldn’t have been able to contain it.

Chi Xue Child controlled his balance as he fell, keeping an eye out for the bottom of the fish’s belly. It would be a bad way to go, falling to his death.

After a moment, Chi Xue Child landed on Shui Mian. He tapped the water with his foot and leaped up, a flash from his sword illuminating the entire area.

He soon found a clean, dry spot.

To his surprise, however, he saw a path—one paved with stones.

Chi Xue Child was completely baffled. ’What is going on?’

’Isn’t this a fish’s stomach?’

’There’s even a little stone path here.’

Chi Xue Child started down the path. Things had already gotten this weird, so what else was there to do?

’Might as well go see what’s inside.’

As he walked along the stone path, he found that the stones began to emit a white light, illuminating the area around him.

Fortunately, the light wasn’t blinding.

Before long, Chi Xue Child saw a stone stele inscribed with an ancient script.

Unfortunately, his Sect didn’t teach ancient languages. And even if they did, what they taught would probably be wrong.

After all, he’d been taught a lot of incorrect things growing up, all the way from childhood to his University days. Those senior brothers and sisters of his were simply cruel.

Good thing he was used to it.

Then, Chi Xue Child took a photo and sent it to his group chat. Fortunately, he still had a signal in here.

Chi Xue Child: "Can anyone tell me what this says?"

Liu Yiyi: "[Horrified emoji] Chi Xue Child, what happened to you? Are you dead?"

Chi Xue Child: "...I think I’m still alive and well."

Liu Yiyi: "But it says ’Ghost Gate.’"
