In Star Dou Forest,
After Gu Yuena calmed down, her anticipation to see the outside world with Wu Lan grew even stronger.
"Wu Lan, heal me quickly!" she said excitedly while shaking him. Unconsciously, she failed to control her strength.
"Okay, calm down first... you are killing me!" Under her terrifying physical power, Wu Lan felt his internal organs shaking violently.
"Are you okay?" Hearing Wu Lan's words, she immediately released him and realized she had failed to control her strength.
"Don't worry... I... am... okay," Wu Lan replied resentfully.
Finally freed from her grip, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had trained his body properly, or today might truly have become the day of his death due to a woman shaking him too excitedly.
I wanted to become famous, but not this kind of famous. I refuse to become the laughingstock of the continent because of my cause of death.
Wu Lan silently noted this matter in his little mental notebook.
When I become stronger than Gu Yuena, let's see if I don't spank you.
"Hehe..."
Seeing Wu Lan staring at her resentfully, Gu Yuena became embarrassed and laughed awkwardly.
"Master! Master!"
At that moment, Orchid's excited voice rang out.
"What is it?" Wu Lan looked toward Orchid curiously. He could clearly feel the joy radiating from her.
"Master, I discovered that I can devour this power we obtained!" Orchid said excitedly. She remembered how, after gaining the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and consciousness, she had become far more powerful and intelligent. Now that she sensed she could absorb this soul power as well, she became excited to see what kind of power she might gain.
"What?" Wu Lan was shocked. If Orchid could truly devour Asura's power, then the upgrade definitely would not be small.
"But Master, I can feel that this small amount might not be enough," Orchid added after sensing the quantity of soul power inside her inventory.
Hearing this, Wu Lan understood immediately. This was only one percent of the energy left behind by Asura's attack from countless ages ago, so the quantity naturally was not much.
With that, Wu Lan asked Gu Yuena not to destroy Asura's power anymore so that Orchid could completely devour it. Gu Yuena readily agreed to Wu Lan's request.
After that, Orchid worked with far greater enthusiasm. Previously, she had only reluctantly helped for Wu Lan's sake, but now this directly involved her own upgrade.
Thus, Orchid focused entirely on extracting Asura's power, while Wu Lan, now free, began working on comprehending laws. Gu Yuena guided him on how to use laws more proficiently while simultaneously keeping an eye on the condition inside her body.
Meanwhile, in the capital,
Ning Fu, who had been waiting for the Mo brothers to report back, gradually became impatient.
"What are those idiots doing? Are they playing around?" Ning Fu never even considered the possibility of failure. In his mind, the only explanation was that they were fooling around.
"Those bastards! This is an important task personally assigned by the Clan Leader, and they are still playing around. It seems they have become too arrogant." Ning Fu had already begun devising methods to discipline them.
If the Mo brothers heard those words, they would definitely cough blood and curse him.
'You bastard! Sending us to our deaths wasn't enough, and now you still want to discipline us?!'
Ning Fu's anger increased with every passing second, and he mentally added more and more punishments to the list.
After several hours, he finally exploded.
"Useless bastards! You are dead meat!"
With that, he personally rushed toward Wu Lan's courtyard in anger to deal with them himself.
Soon, he arrived near the spy stationed outside Wu Lan's courtyard.
"Elder Fu!" Seeing him, the spy hurriedly greeted him respectfully.
"What is the status of the task?" Ning Fu asked coldly, wanting confirmation.
"Elder Fu, this junior is incompetent. The Mo brothers entered the courtyard several hours ago, and no battles has broken out so far. However, they still have not come out yet, so... I do not know the current status of the mission." The spy quickly apologized and reported everything he knew.
Hearing this, Ning Fu clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms. Unconsciously, killing intent leaked from his body.
Under Ning Fu's killing intent, the spy immediately knelt to the ground, struggling to breathe.
"Good. Very good."
Ning Fu had already suspected they were playing around, but after hearing that no battle had occurred, he became even more convinced that the Mo brothers had completed the mission effortlessly and were simply refusing to report back.
They clearly did not place him or even the Clan Leader in their eyes anymore.
With killing intent surging from his body, Ning Fu rushed toward the courtyard at full speed.
Just as he was about to approach the courtyard,
A woman with long purple hair suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Who are yo.."
Ning Fu instantly stepped back vigilantly and began to question her. However, before he could finish speaking, a terrifying pressure descended upon him.
The only word he heard was:
"Trash."
A few seconds earlier, Zi Ji, who had been guarding Lingling, noticed someone attempting to forcefully enter the courtyard. She instantly disappeared and reappeared directly in front of Ning Fu before knocking him unconscious just like the Mo brothers.
Originally, she wanted to kill him immediately, but after remembering Bi Ji's words, she forcefully restrained herself and merely knocked him unconscious instead.
"Knocking him out is even harder than killing him," Zi Ji muttered unhappily. She had needed to suppress most of her aura, or else he would have died instantly.
If Ning Fu heard those words, he would definitely cough blood.
'Sorry for being too weak.'
With that, Zi Ji grabbed Ning Fu and headed toward the cellar.
While walking, she could already hear Xiao Wu's scolding from inside.
"Trash! How dare you scream so loudly?! You're being noisy!"
"Young Miss, can you please stop hitting my face?!" The Mo brothers continued begging miserably for mercy.
Although their physical bodies were strong due to being Soul Saints, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing had studied the Xuan Tian Records and understood acupuncture points and meridians extremely well. Thus, they specifically targeted those areas to maximize the Mo brothers' pain.
"Shut up! This young miss will hit wherever she wants!" Instead of stopping, Xiao Wu became even fiercer.
Just then, the cellar door opened.
Hearing the sound, the Mo brothers turned their heads in hope.
Their pupils instantly shrank when they saw the purple-haired woman carrying Ning Fu.
The Mo brothers exchanged looks with one another.
Zi Ji casually threw Ning Fu beside them. They saw no signs of battle or injury on either side, yet Ning Fu had still been knocked unconscious effortlessly.
That meant the purple-haired woman was also a Title Douluo.
So they actually had two Title Douluos protecting them.
At that moment, the Mo brothers completely lost all hope of survival.
"Sister Bi Ji, I brought this trash back."
With Ning Fu now tied beside the Mo brothers,
"Who is this?" Zhuqing asked after noticing the Mo brothers' shocked reactions.
"Young Miss, this is Ning Fu, the person who ordered us to capture Young Miss. He is also the one responsible for carrying out all the dirty work of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan," Mo Chen said ruthlessly, exposing everything without hesitation.
