Mowenjie looked at Huang Linger, Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Qin Xiaodie, Ding Yan, Tuoba Yingying around him, the heart was warm and sunny. No matter what, his several roadmates were really together in life and death. They never left him. No matter what danger they encountered, they faced it together. This feeling was really enviable!
Mo Wenjie was immersed in warmth when suddenly his expression turned serious. "I feel a powerful aura approaching." The women also became alert instantly. A dark shadow appeared on the horizon, swiftly approaching and upon landing, it revealed Mo Wenjie's former archenemy, Li Yang.
"Mo Wenjie, today is your death day." Li Yang's expression was sinister. Mo Wenjie put the women behind him and said, "What are you capable of?" The battle erupted instantly, Mo Wenjie using all his skills. However, Li Yang seemed to have a breakthrough, and Mo Wenjie gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Seeing that Mo Wenjie was about to be injured, Huang Ling'er shouted fiercely and joined the formation with the other women. They poured their spiritual force into Mo Wenjie's body, making him feel full of power. He roared loudly and unleashed his strongest blow, directly breaking through Li Yang's defense.
Li Yang collapsed in disbelief, Mo Wenjie heaved a long sigh of relief. The women gathered around him, and Mo Wenjie smiled, "All thanks to you all, my companions. We must be together forever." They embraced each other, their laughter and joyful chatter echoing through the air. After this battle, their bond had become even more unbreakable.
Mo Wenjie led them to continue exploring forward.
As they were walking, a sudden ancient palace with odd light shone in front of them.
Mo Wenjie and the others approached curiously as the palace's gates remained shut, surrounded by mysterious runes. Mo Wenjie reached out to touch them, and the runes suddenly flashed with a voice coming through, "To enter, you must solve the riddle." The group exchanged glances and decided to accept the challenge. Then, some stone pillars slowly rose from the ground, each adorned with intricate patterns that were difficult to understand. Just as everyone was deep in thought, Qin Xiaodie suddenly said, "I think I get it; these patterns correspond to star positions."
Following Qin Xiaodie's instructions to adjust the order of the stone pillars, the gates of the palace slowly opened. Inside, golden light shone, and in the center, a powerful spiritual pearl floating in midair emitted a strong spiritual energy. Just as Mo Wenjie was preparing to approach and retrieve it, several guarding spiritual beasts suddenly emerged from the shadows. They were huge in size and had fierce eyes. Mo Wenjie remained calm and led the women to formations. After a fierce battle, they finally defeated the beasts.
Mo Wenjie successfully retrieved the spiritual pearl and said happily, "This spiritual pearl must greatly enhance our cultivation. In the future, we will also fight side by side like today." After speaking, the group left the palace with the spiritual pearl in high spirits.
Huang Ling'er and Mo Wenjie said this, and she giggled, saying: "Dear husband, you can rest assured that we will never leave you behind. Even if we face life and death together, none of us will retreat. If you don't believe me, just ask Jiang Yurou, Xiao Yawen, Ding Yan, Tuoba Yingying, or Qin Xiaodie!
Mo Wenjie listened to Huang Ling'er's words and felt deeply moved. He looked at the other women, who nodded in unison, their eyes firm.
At that moment, however, the sky suddenly darkened, and ominous clouds filled the air with a heavy atmosphere. A gust of wind swept through, and an old man in black robes appeared out of nowhere. "Do you think this spiritual pearl can be taken so easily?" he sneered coldly.
Mo Wenjie shielded the women behind him and cautiously asked, "Who are you?" The old man replied menacingly, "I am one of the guardians of this spiritual pearl. You defeated the spirit beasts, but you still have to pass my test." With that, he unleashed a powerful aura of spiritual pressure.
Mo Wenjie inhaled deeply, and began to circulate the spiritual energy within his body to counteract it. Jiang Yurou stepped forward and whispered, "Dear husband, let's fight together. We will definitely defeat him."
Thus, the group united, deploying their most powerful spells to attack the elder. At that moment, a dazzling array of light intersected and interwove. The elder hadn't expected them to be so united and began to show signs of weakness. Finally, Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity and struck decisively, defeating the elder. Afterward, they swiftly left the area with the spiritual pearl in hand, flying off into the distance as they left behind a tranquil land.
Jiang Yurou saw that Mo Wenjie had already taken them a considerable distance away and said, "Dear husband, this place is very secluded. Shouldn't we rest here for a while and, while we're at it, hunt some wild game to replenish our energy?"
Mo Wenjie looked around and nodded in agreement, "Alright, we have indeed consumed a lot of energy." The group dispersed and started to search for wild game.
Jiang Yurou's luck was excellent, and she soon discovered a plump wild rabbit. Just as she was about to capture it, she suddenly felt a chilling sensation. She alertly looked up and saw a pair of dim green eyes in the underbrush. It was a pack of wolves that had clearly set their sights on the wild rabbit as well.
Jiang Yurou was startled in her heart, but she was not afraid; she silently gathered spiritual energy in her hand. At that moment, Mo Wenjie arrived and, upon seeing the pack of wolves, laughed instead, "Just right; so many prey will be enough for us to eat for a while." He charged towards the wolves first, striking out with a punch that unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, sending several wolves flying away instantly.
The women saw this and did not back down, using their magic to join the battle. Despite the ferocity of the wolf pack, they were no match for these practitioners of immortality. Soon, the wolves lay on the ground in various disarray. Mo Wenjie said happily, "We can feast tonight." The group started a fire to roast meat, laughter and joy echoed in this secluded place, as if all previous dangers had been left behind, leaving only warmth and ease at this moment.
Tuoba Yingying patted her belly and said to Huang Ling'er, "Have you eaten enough, Your Highness? If not, you should hurry up and eat! Look at me; I'm already stuffed!"
Xiao Yawen looked at Tuoba Yingying and said, "How can you be as unprofessional as Huang Ling'er? She is an actual county princess, while you are just a wealthy daughter. How could your eating habits possibly be the same?"
Tuoba Yingying listened to this and her face turned bright red instantly, "Sister Xiao, how can you speak to me in such a manner? Although Princess Ling'er is of noble birth, we are all companions who have fought side by side. Why must we differentiate so much?" Huang Ling'er gently pulled at Tuoba Yingying's hand, "Little sister Yingying doesn't need to be upset. Sister Xiao may have just been joking."
Xiao Yawen huffed coldly, "Who's joking with you? I'm just telling the truth." Mo Wenjie frowned and said, "Yawen, you must be respectful. We all share hardships and there is no distinction among us." Xiao Yawen wanted to argue but saw the warning in Mo Wenjie's eyes and remained silent.
At this moment, the sky began to darken, and the atmosphere around them became somewhat oppressive. Mo Wenjie broke the silence by saying, "This place is not suitable for us to stay for long. Let's quickly continue on our journey." The group quietly finished packing their things and prepared to set off. Along the way, Xiao Yawen alone fell behind, his heart filled with anger. Suddenly, a melodious flute sound echoed from all around them, making everyone feel uneasy.
Mo Wenjie vigilantly surveyed the surroundings, "Be careful everyone, we might have an enemy approaching." The group quickly formed a circle and prepared for battle. The earlier tension was momentarily set aside as they focused on the impending crisis.
Mo Wenjie watched as the six of them stood together once again and felt extremely happy. He then said, "Yawen, Ling'er, Yurou, Xiaodie, Yan, and Yingying, when we are together, we should treat each other with sincerity. I hope you all can unite. I am more grateful for your company, and I will not love any of you any less. No matter when, my heart will not change!"
Hearing Mo Wenjie's words, the women on his side all displayed expressions of being touched. Just then, a dark shadow darted out from the nearby trees, moving at an incredibly fast pace. Mo Wenjie drew his sword and positioned himself in front to block the path. To his surprise, it turned out to be a spiritual fox. The fox spoke with human-like speech, "Mr. Mo, the road ahead is filled with danger. This is the confusion caused by the phantom flute sound. To break through this barrier, you need to find the person who plays the flute." Mo Wenjie bowed respectfully and thanked, "Thank you for informing us."
The group followed the direction of the flute sound and stealthily approached, seeing a man in a black robe blowing the flute with his eyes closed. Mo Wenjie gave a signal, and the group scattered to surround him. Upon getting close enough, Mo Wenjie initiated the attack first.
The black-clad man sensed the movement and stopped playing the flute, turning his hand to strike with his sleeve. A powerful force pushed the group back a few steps.
Mo Wenjie stabilized his stance and called out, "Why are you setting a trap for us, Sir?" The black-clad man scoffed coldly: "Hmph, Mo Wenjie, you have numerous women around you, enjoying the pleasure of having many wives, while I am alone. Today, I will disrupt your happiness."
Mo Wenjie furrowed his brow and said, "Love matters cannot be forced, your actions are too narrow-minded." He raised his sword once again and attacked, while the other women also joined in with their spells.
The black-robed man watched as Mo Wenjie and the women surrounded him and burst into raucous laughter. "Mo Wenjie, I hope you stop your futile struggle. Even if I can't defeat you, I will continue to secretly follow you. I'll strike at you from time to time, leaving you unprepared and causing trouble for you at every turn. What will you do then?"
Hearing the black-robed man say this, Mo Wenjie did not get angry but instead chuckled and shook his head. "Do you think doing this is fun? You're wrong actually. We've been together for a long time and need some fun. It's the joy of being constantly beaten by us that counts!"
The black-robed man was enraged, trembling all over. "Mo Wenjie, you're a lowly sneak! How dare you insult me like this. I will fight you to the death today!"
The black-robed man clasped his hands together in a seal, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge, as if a thousand tons of pressure were being exerted on Mo Wenjie and the others. Mo Wenjie's eyes narrowed, and his sword glowed brilliantly. He chanted incantations and unleashed a sword aura that dispelled some of the pressure. The women were not to be outdone either; they summoned various treasured artifacts one after another, causing a burst of radiant colors.
The black-robed man roared, leaping into the air with a great force. A massive shadow of a black demon beast appeared behind him, opening its blood-red maw to pounce on the group. Mo Wenjie threw his sword into the air, and it instantaneously grew several times larger, holding up against the demon beast's shadow. Just as they were at a stalemate, a melodious bell sound echoed from afar.
The black-robed man's face changed after hearing the bell sound, and his movements slowed down slightly. Mo Wenjie seized the opportunity and struck with all his might, hitting the black-robed man in the chest and causing him to spit blood. It turned out that the bell sound was from a hermit nearby who had intended to quell the conflict.
The black-robed man clutched his wound and said angrily, "I will avenge this day." After speaking, he turned into a trail of black smoke and fled. Mo Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief and turned to comfort the women. After this battle, they realized more than ever that in the heavens, danger could come at any moment. Only by constantly improving their strength could they face such challenges.
