Chapter 11 Life Begins to Be Different
Chapter 11 Life Begins to Be Different
The rooster in the backyard crowed loudly and precisely on time, addressing every villager living nearby.
At six o'clock in the morning, three people were already standing downstairs at Liang Junjie's house: one man and two women.
The man dressed himself up as an adult, ready to go to work. One of the women wore a casual long dress and had her hair simply styled in a ponytail, while the other wore a smart tracksuit, though the cuffs were slightly bulging.
Liang Junjie: "Xueji, what brings you to my house today?"
Huo Chuyu didn't tell him about today's plans, only that she was taking a girl out. To Liang Junjie's surprise, this girl turned out to be Yu Xueji.
"Why are you calling me so affectionately?" Yu Xueji turned her face away, but her face was already a little red. After all, her savior was right in front of her, and it would be strange if she could act like nothing had happened.
"Alright, stop teasing her, Xiaoxue, let's go."
After speaking, Huo Chuyu activated her invisibility spell with Yu Xueji, mounted her flying sword, and flew towards Yangcheng U City. The two remained silent the entire way, until finally Yu Xueji spoke up: "Senior, I still don't know your name?"
"Just call me by the group name," Huo Chuyu replied.
"Senior Chu, where are we going?" Yu Xueji asked curiously, looking at the increasingly sparse city below.
"Go and deal with someone, but of course you have to deal with that person yourself. I'm just helping you build a bridge."
After saying this, the two began their descent.
In the suburbs, Qian Hu had already prepared a bunch of mechanical weapons and an off-road vehicle, intending to take someone down with him before he died.
"Disciple? Hmph! If I can't kill you, a god, surely I can kill your disciple?!"
In his mind, Huo Chuyu's apprentice must be Yu Xueji, the one they had kidnapped.
"She's not even a mortal martial artist! I'll see if she can withstand this hail of bullets!"
The arrogance he displayed when he uttered those words was matched by the fear he displayed three seconds later.
While in mid-air, Huo Chuyu had already broken free of his invisibility and even created a large wind field to highlight the extraordinary nature of the two.
"An immortal?! It really is an immortal?!" Qian Hu was stunned, and his thighs began to tremble involuntarily.
What does a mouse feel when it sees a cat?
Qian Hu felt as if he were a lowly and laughable mouse, while Huo Chuyu was a fierce big cat!
"Very good, you kept your promise from yesterday and did not run away without permission."
After helping Yu Xueji off the flying sword, Huo Chuyu calmly walked up to Qian Hu and said the first thing that made Qian Hu's hair stand on end.
Huo Chuyu raised her hand and waved it. With that wave, the poison she had planted in Qian Hu's body returned to her own.
"If you can kill her this morning, I'll let you go. If you can't, then you can either wait to be killed by her or crushed by me."
Huo Chuyu's words not only reached Qian Hu's ears, but also Yu Xueji's ears, who was in a state of anger at the moment.
Yu Xueji, who was initially filled with hatred upon seeing her enemy, felt a chill run down her spine upon hearing Huo Chuyu's words. She gave a bitter laugh: "If things are like this, why did you send Liang Junjie to save me...?"
Huo Chuyu raised an eyebrow: "Liang Junjie? He went to save you on his own. It has nothing to do with me. His selfless rescue doesn't mean you can absolve yourself of the karma. You must face it now. Otherwise, you will face even greater calamities in the future."
After hearing this, Yu Xueji remained silent for a while, then took out a cell phone from her pocket and prepared to dial Liang Junjie's number.
"If you always hide behind others, you'll always be the one being kidnapped and helpless. Do you want the people around you to be in constant trouble because of you? Do you want your family to risk their lives because of you?"
Huo Chuyu's words silenced Yu Xueji once again.
After a long while, Yu Xueji picked up the iron rod that Huo Chuyu had casually pulled away and rushed towards Qian Hu.
Qian Hu was overjoyed when he saw Yu Xueji's attack, which lacked any martial arts skills. He casually swung his stick to block it.
He didn't dare use his pistol. He couldn't believe that the immortal on the other side wouldn't go back on his word, after all, an immortal's fist was many times harder than a bullet.
At first, Qian Hu was still beating Yu Xueji, and each blow from the stick was enough to tear Yu Xueji's fair skin.
But the more he fought, the more frightened he became.
"How does she have so much inexhaustible energy?"
"Her power is growing stronger!"
"This is...this is spiritual power! No, this can't be!"
The shock in his heart made Qian Hu's grip on the stick go limp.
Just as Qian Hu was filled with shock, Yu Xueji took out a pistol from her sleeve and pulled it out while Qian Hu was stunned by the sight of the pistol.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two gunshots pierced Qian Hu's head, and blood-red ice cream streamed down his forehead, past his eyes, and dripped down his chin.
With another thud, Qian Hu's body fell straight onto the grass.
A half-baked charlatan, a ruthless executioner, a vicious kidnapper, died at this moment under the gun of the lamb he once thought he was, and under the determination of a silent girl.
"Clap clap clap".
Huo Chuyu clapped her hands, then came to Yu Xueji's side and touched her face.
"Don't be nervous. This is the world of cultivation. If you really want to enter the world of cultivation, then this is what you have to go through. I'm sure your grandfather has always wanted to tell you this."
Huo Chuyu's voice was gentle, but the cruelty hidden within that gentleness was something that Yu Xueji, who was only twenty-two years old, could not immediately accept.
About half an hour later, Yu Xueji finally stopped trembling and calmed down.
"Liang Junjie became your apprentice, right?"
Yu Xueji looked into Huo Chuyu's eyes, trying to find the answer in them.
Huo Chuyu nodded.
"Senior, I wish to become your disciple! I only ask that you guide me through the basics!"
After saying this, Yu Xueji knelt down on the ground, her trousers stained with grass clippings, mud, and blood.
Huo Chuyu laughed heartily, then gently patted Yu Xueji's head. A stream of pure spiritual energy flowed into Yu Xueji's body, condensing the coldness she had developed from years of loneliness. She also imparted a cultivation technique to her: "Heart Water Technique".
"With a heart that encompasses ten thousand miles, one can ride the waters and travel through the nine heavens."
"Heaven and earth create the bright moon, and the myriad seas embrace the towering sky."
As the "Heart Water Technique" circulated automatically, the cold, yin energy was transformed into cultivation resources. Soon, Yu Xueji's cultivation level also reached the early stage of Qi Refining.
"Thank you, Master Xie!"
Yu Xueji bowed deeply to Huo Chuyu.
The apprenticeship is now complete, and the karmic ties between Yu Xueji and Qian Hu and the others are severed.
The new cause of worshipping the fire and the rain will one day bear new fruit.
