Chapter 175: Why can’t others enter
“No…”
Just as Xu Qingchuan was about to say something, a particularly lewd man’s cackle suddenly came from outside the door.
“My dear treasure~ I’m here~~”
“……”
“……”
This sent shivers down their spines.
The voice was not young; it sounded aged.
After speaking, the other party directly pushed open the door.
He happened to make eye contact with Song Jiulai, who was standing at the doorway.
It was an elderly middle-aged man, pot-bellied and fat.
His fat face had a small mustache in the middle of his nose, giving Song Jiulai a stereotypical image of a wealthy landowner.
Is this Qin Yongkang?
Qin Yongkang’s small eyes looked at Song Jiulai with a hint of suspicion: “What are you doing here?”
Song Jiulai immediately replied: “I’m bringing Madam a bowl of sweet dumplings to fill her stomach.”
Is it normal for someone to arrive so quickly on their wedding night?
Qin Yongkang then looked at Xu Qingchuan, his expression changing instantly: “Treasure, why did you lift your veil without permission? Don’t you know it’s bad luck to lift your veil yourself?”
Xu Qingchuan remained silent.
The moment Xu Qingchuan saw Qin Yongkang, he suddenly unleashed his cultivation technique.
A long saber made of flames.
Qin Yongkang’s pupils widened instantly, and then he angrily cursed: “Bitch, you want to murder your husband?!”
Xu Qingchuan: “…Die!!”
Song Jiulai was even more shocked: “Holy crap, big brother, you’re not even going through the motions?”
You’re pulling out weapons right away!
It seems I underestimated the patience of these cultivators.
Song Jiulai didn’t know Qin Yongkang’s capabilities before, but now she did.
Qin Yongkang let out a furious roar, and his body suddenly began to swell rapidly, like an inflated ball.
As soon as he started to mutate, Song Jiulai immediately leaped eight zhang away.
At the same moment, she felt her cultivation within her body continuously increasing. The BOSS had clearly activated the ‘All Beings Are Equal’ realm.
As the one with the lowest cultivation level here, Song Jiulai was forcibly elevated to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, just a hair’s breadth away from forming a Golden Core.
But Song Jiulai felt very uncomfortable.
Her cultivation had increased, but her Spiritual Energy couldn’t keep up with the supply.
The higher the cultivation, the more Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth was needed to circulate. With no Spiritual Energy in this World, the increased total amount meant less circulation.
She immediately felt lightheaded and dizzy.
She quickly took out two Tier 4 Qi Replenishing Pills from her Warehouse and swallowed them, which made her feel slightly better.
Xu Qingchuan’s expression suddenly turned grim: “Why has it dropped to Late Foundation Establishment Stage? Damn it, who has such low cultivation and is dragging us down? They dare to enter the Moonlight Secret Realm with such low cultivation!”
Song Jiulai: “…”
Big brother, I’m truly sorry to your whole family for dragging you down!
Xu Qingchuan must be feeling terrible.
Stuck at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage meant Qin Yongkang was also nearing Foundation Establishment Completion, and BOSSes stuck at this stage were even more monstrous.
Just one step away from the Golden Core, he could unleash the power of a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
But the cultivators couldn’t!
Without Spiritual Energy, fighting was already restrictive, and now their Golden Core Stage Magic Treasures couldn’t be used.
Xu Qingchuan cursed inwardly.
However, upon seeing Song Jiulai take out two pills to replenish herself, he was even more shocked: “The Mustard Seed Bag can’t be opened, where did you get the pills?”
Song Jiulai didn’t expect to be seen from such a distance. After a two-second silence, she replied: “I’ve always kept them in my pocket.”
Xu Qingchuan: “…”
Are you trying to fool a ghost?
If pills are kept outside without a bag, their Spiritual Energy will dissipate directly.
Song Jiulai reminded him: “Don’t worry about me, he’s almost finished mutating!”
Qin Yongkang over there was clearly about to complete his transformation.
Don’t talk about why people don’t attack during transformation; Song Jiulai had thrown a Palm Thunder earlier.
It was deflected.
Well, he has a protective mechanism.
Qin Yongkang’s body expanded, and he leaped into a slow-moving giant about three zhang tall. His overall appearance was not much different from his original self.
He burst through the residential building, causing a thunderous roar.
In an instant, the residential building collapsed, debris flying everywhere. Song Jiulai and Xu Qingchuan were both sent flying into the air.
They saw Qin Yongkang’s terrifying appearance before them.
His body had many cracks from the expansion, but they healed forcefully without blood.
And when he grew larger, his body did, but his clothes didn’t…
Bare-chested and exposed.
Fortunately, the BOSS still had some sense of decency; at least his private parts were covered by a few rags.
Or perhaps the Secret Realm censored it, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been displayed.
It offered some small comfort to the eyes of those present.
During his transformation, he also noticed Song Jiulai throwing the Palm Thunder at him. It was clear he was a petty man.
His furious gaze turned towards Song Jiulai. However, his giant brain capacity seemed to have decreased, and his eyes darted back and forth between Xu Qingchuan and Song Jiulai.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.
He roared: “Adulterer and slut!”
Song Jiulai: “?”
Xu Qingchuan: “?”
He became even more enraged, “Beast, how dare you ruin my reputation!!”
With that, he raised his long saber and slashed towards Qin Yongkang’s body.
Song Jiulai: “…”
His response was a palm strike from Qin Yongkang that covered the sky.
Qin Yongkang’s palm strike was pure physical strength.
With one slap, the already cracked residential building was further reduced to flying debris.
The strong wind generated by the giant palm strike even made their cheeks sting.
Song Jiulai unleashed two Palm Thunders, but they lacked their usual lethality against Demonic Beasts, feeling more like a tickle.
It only made Qin Yongkang’s body sway slightly.
Qin Yongkang seemed unaffected.
“Damn! What kind of impenetrable defense is this?”
Not only the Palm Thunder, but the flame-patterned long saber summoned by Xu Qingchuan also struck Qin Yongkang’s body. Qin Yongkang’s bloated, massive body, though seemingly slow, managed to catch the saber’s attack.
This saber only made his body shift back a couple of steps, and the violent tremor caused the ground to shake.
“Damn thing!” Xu Qingchuan cursed again: “How can we fight with Late Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation?”
Indeed, how could they fight?
Qin Yongkang’s originally pea-sized eyes now resembled light bulbs, and his hatred was directed entirely at Xu Qingchuan.
“You damned bitch!”
“……”
Such foul language.
Song Jiulai didn’t intend to rush in but to assess the situation.
After all, if the Palm Thunder wasn’t very effective, then only disposable Magic Treasures were left.
And…
Not far from this residential compound, a strong wind suddenly began to blow, and Spiritual Energy continuously leaked out.
Song Jiulai looked in that direction and then turned to Xu Qingchuan: “Brother Tie Gen, can’t they get in?”
“Of course, they can’t!”
Xu Qingchuan was still furious about the sudden drop in cultivation. His cultivation technique couldn’t unleash half of its original power, and he would have preferred fighting a Golden Core Stage Qin Yongkang.
While facing Qin Yongkang’s assault, he still had the energy to glare at Song Jiulai.
“How did you get in?”
Song Jiulai remained silent.
She was just thinking why even the job of a maid wasn’t available to others.
