Chapter 283: She’s Acting Very Strange 【 Battle + Foreshadowing 】
Tan Zhu’s mind grew more and more chaotic, muttering incoherently.
“No, I am not a Pure Yin Maiden.”
“A Pure Yin Maiden should not be treated like this.”
【 Look at her, she can’t even resist this vengeful energy, and she still followed you to Youdu Mountain. Isn’t she just dragging you down? 】
Ming Zhaoshuang stood up and looked at Tan Zhu, who was struggling to stay conscious on Sang Biao’s back, but was gradually being covered by that seed. She sighed.
She firmly supported Tan Zhu’s hand.
However, Tan Zhu flinched as if stimulated and retreated continuously. If Sang Biao hadn’t reacted in time, she would have rolled off Sang Biao’s back.
Sang Biao: “She’s acting very strange—”
Even the idiot Sang Biao could sense that Tan Zhu was not right, let alone Ming Zhaoshuang.
Ming Zhaoshuang reached out again, wanting to get closer to Tan Zhu, but was frantically pushed away by her, as if she were some unstoppable flood or fierce beast.
Her reaction was very strange.
It made Ming Zhaoshuang unconsciously recall Wei Jiao and Qin Zhi, whom she encountered in Shuangyu Village.
【 Hahaha… That’s right, she, Tan Zhu, is just a shameless slut…… 】
Ming Zhaoshuang’s head ached from the noise. She glanced at Tan Zhu again, pondered her words, and was suddenly shocked. She hurriedly went into her Sea of Consciousness and slapped Bai Bai awake three times.
Bai Bai: “???”
Ming Zhaoshuang: “I need to enter her dream, let me enter her dream now! What did Fourth Senior Sister go through, show me!”
Bai Bai: “……”
“I can’t. She’s not sleeping now, and her mind is extremely unstable. If I force her to slumber, it will only damage her Sea of Consciousness,” Bai Bai said slowly. “Unless you can find a way to stabilize her mind.”
Ming Zhaoshuang said: “If I can stabilize her, what do I need you for!”
“Then I can’t help.”
“Then I’ll knock her out with a brick, can you let me enter her dream.”
“Yes, but her mind is still chaotic. I’ll need to sort out her thoughts.”
“Then it’s fine.”
“But are you sure you want to intervene now? She’s different from Xie Yanning; she still has a seed inside her. If you intervene improperly, you might prevent her enlightenment.”
“Enlightenment at this time!”
Ming Zhaoshuang said, she quickly took out Fushuang and was about to swing her sword to knock Tan Zhu unconscious and make her completely calm down.
Then she heard Bai Bai yawn and lazily say:
“But I think you should deal with the Hidden Wolf Beast in front of you first…”
Ming Zhaoshuang’s back chilled.
The surroundings were dim, only the Night-Illuminating Pearl in front of Ming Zhaoshuang emitted a faint white light, reflecting pairs of extremely dark green eyes, probing towards her.
Hidden Wolf Beast, a High-Grade Profound Tier Demonic Beast, its cultivation seems to have reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage!
If it were just one Hidden Wolf Beast, Ming Zhaoshuang would naturally not be afraid, but most wolves are pack animals. These wolves stood behind Ming Zhaoshuang, their bodies dark and eyes green, countless in number, baring their pale yellow sharp teeth towards them.
【 You’ve encountered a beast tide… Who knows what kind of bad luck you’ve encountered… 】
It’s over!
Ming Zhaoshuang could no longer care about what would happen to Tan Zhu. She directly pulled her off Sang Biao’s back, allowing her to scratch bloody marks on her arm, and turned to Mimi, saying:
“Mimi, Fantuan, bite them to death!”
Sang Biao was, after all, a Divine Beast. Even if his cultivation had dropped to the same level as these Hidden Wolf Beasts, his thick skin and tough flesh were not comparable to ordinary Ghost Beasts. He rushed forward directly and started biting with grunts.
Fantuan was not to be outdone, and with a mighty pounce, fiercely attacked the wolf pack.
But there were really too many wolves.
“Fourth Senior Sister, I’m sorry!”
Ming Zhaoshuang cleaved a wolf that was biting Tan Zhu with her sword, and was about to continue to knock Tan Zhu unconscious when she saw the latter, as if regaining some sense, throw several Poison Pills towards the Hidden Wolf Beasts.
Then…
The Hidden Wolf Beasts seemed to have smelled some rare treasure. They rushed towards the Poison Pills as if they had lost their minds, snatching and tearing at each other.
In the end, they all died under the Poison Pills.
Ming Zhaoshuang swallowed her saliva, feeling that her Senior Sister’s combat power might also be beyond her imagination.
As she was thinking, her fingertip warmed. Tan Zhu tightly gripped her arm and protected her behind her, but her expression was still somewhat dazed.
Tan Zhu’s body was trembling, her fingertips were trembling, and even her voice was trembling.
“Little Zhu, I will protect you…”
Believe me.
I have the ability to protect you now, I won’t let you die in front of me again.
Hearing the name mentioned earlier, Ming Zhaoshuang slightly furrowed her brows, thinking she had misheard. She said, “Fourth Senior Sister, I am a Sword Cultivator, I don’t need your protection.”
But Tan Zhu clearly mistook her for someone else.
“Little Zhu, I’m really strong now, I won’t harm you…”
“I, my pills will protect you…”
Saying this, Tan Zhu fumbled through her sleeves, her waist, and her personal pockets, rummaging out all the pills she carried.
Ming Zhaoshuang noticed that these pills did not have the Higanbana Flower mark.
The pills Tan Zhu had given her earlier, and the ones she was holding now, all had the Higanbana Flower mark. This meant she had kept the Poison Pills only for herself.
Her Spirit Root was the gentlest Wood Spirit Root, and her identity was a soft Alchemist, but she also wanted to protect herself and those she wanted to protect in her own way.
Ming Zhaoshuang plunged her sword into the neck of a Hidden Wolf Beast, and viscous blood sprayed out. It should have been a magnificent scene of a peerless beauty with a sword in hand, but for some reason, Tan Zhu seemed to be stimulated by her and tightly grasped her arm.
“Little Zhu, I can really protect you!”
“Don’t stand in front of me, I’m very strong, I don’t need your protection.”
“Little Zhu, turn around, okay…”
Ming Zhaoshuang turned her head and suddenly noticed that faint black lines seemed to have flashed across Tan Zhu’s body.
This is… a trace of the seed?
Ming Zhaoshuang roared at Bai Bai in her Sea of Consciousness, “Look, is Fourth Senior Sister being controlled by the Heavenly Dao right now!”
“Yes…” Bai Bai hesitated, and after a while, said, “And the threads on her seem to be denser than Qin Feilong’s.”
Ming Zhaoshuang asked, “Why is that?”
It shouldn’t be. Qin Feilong was, after all, an object manipulated by the Heavenly Dao. It was understandable that he had more threads than everyone else, but why would Tan Zhu have more threads than Qin Feilong.
Didn’t Tan Zhu have Yixu watching over her?
Even if she had encountered Yixu when the seed was already flourishing, and Yixu couldn’t remove it, it should have at least been suppressed or shaken, so why would it be more than Qin Feilong’s.
“Most likely because… she has an Inner Demon…”
Bai Bai said in a low voice, “The greatest role of the seed is actually to nurture an Inner Demon and destroy the Dao Heart. The people you’ve met before didn’t have Inner Demons, so the seeds were on the surface. Even Qin Feilong, who was manipulated by the Heavenly Dao for the longest time, showed no signs of developing an Inner Demon.”
“But Tan Zhu is different.”
“Okay.”
Ming Zhaoshuang responded, ignoring the incessant nagging voice in her mind. Holding Fushuang, she swung her sword down, and a bloody wolf head fell to the ground.
Another Hidden Wolf Beast lunged at her with its claws spread wide, its sharp claws gleaming under the dim moonlight. Ming Zhaoshuang drew an arc with her long sword. She was supposed to stab the Hidden Wolf Beast’s heart, but she saw Tan Zhu reach out and block in front of her.
The snow-white, soft flesh was then gruesomely torn off by the Hidden Wolf Beast.
Ming Zhaoshuang was stunned.
However, Tan Zhu’s eyes were still somewhat dazed as she looked at the wolf pack with extreme bravery.
“You all, don’t think about crossing me and harming Little Zhu.”
