Chapter 65: Be honest and don't move around

At the edge of the broken formation, more than thirty disciples from Clear Water Gate witnessed Lu Bei and Hu San dividing the spoils, hesitating to approach.

Their sect leader, Zhao Xiayang, had died, and although they had some resentment towards him for his indifference, witnessing this scene still brought them some sadness.

Seeking revenge was impossible; their strength did not allow them to act recklessly.

Suppressing their complicated thoughts, they only wanted to ask one question: is there still a chance to report Zhao Xiayang now?

Hu San had no good feelings towards these people. He gathered the remains of Chu He and looked up at the sky, sighing.

People are not like plants or trees; who can be without emotions? Even the Profound Moon Department, which prioritized missions above all else and could sacrifice teammates at any time, couldn't do this.

Just then, a disciple from Clear Water Gate screamed. Lu Bei turned around and saw a dense crowd of evil spirits and undead creatures approaching, besieging the people from Clear Water Gate and turning the situation into chaos.

"The Dragon Trap Formation has been destroyed, releasing these evil creatures," Lu Bei frowned.

"These are the evil things that Clear Water Gate themselves cultivated. It's karma coming back to them. We don't need to bother with them; it's their just desserts," Hu San said, not bothering to care about the life or death of the Clear Water Gate disciples.

"It's not a matter of justice or retribution. With so many evil creatures blocking our way, how do we leave? Do you know the way out?"

"If I'm not mistaken, we should go by water," Hu San pointed to the top of his head. Lu Bei followed his gaze and immediately his face turned dark. Whether it was due to the damaged formation or the vengeful spirit of the spiritual vein's dragon, the once sturdy dome was now covered in cracks, on the verge of collapse, and could fall at any moment.

Going by water was not a problem; Lu Bei was confident he could hold his breath for a long time. But when tens of thousands of tons of water fell from the sky, the impact was no joke.

"Hehehe..."

Hu San grinned, reached into the stone wall, and pulled out a large pit. He beckoned to Lu Bei with narrowed eyes. After Lu Bei entered, Hu San closed his hands around himself, forming a ball that protected both him and Lu Bei in the center.

"Brother, I'm not bragging, but this move of mine can attack and defend. I've been wandering the martial world for many years, relying on it to bully others," Hu San boasted.

"Impressive!"

"Brother, there's no use being envious. Under the heavens, besides my lineage, there is no other family or branch that possesses this bloodline Divine Ability. It's something you can't learn."

"Amazing!"

Lu Bei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and as he did, there was a cracking sound in his ears. Water shot out like sharp blades, shooting down.

In the broken formation, when the disciples of Clear Water Gate and the evil spirits and undead creatures came into contact, they were cut into pieces.

Not to mention the undead creatures, even the disciples of Clear Water Gate were experienced. In the past, Lu Bei would not have let them off no matter what they said.

But now, with the carousel of thoughts, he began to have doubts about this so-called game world and developed awe and reverence. He was no longer willing to kill for experience.

At least not deliberately.

Outside, the waterline turned into water columns, and several places turned into waterfalls. Lu Bei was confident and calmly waited for the tens of thousands of acres of water to fall from the sky.

Waiting, waiting...

"Huh, did I forget something?"

Lu Bei tilted his head and furrowed his brows. It seemed like there was something, but also like there wasn't. "Strange, I always feel like I'm going to lose something. What could it be?"

"Sss..."

A golden-scaled snake stuck its head out and hissed at Lu Bei. Although it couldn't speak human language, Lu Bei could still sense a hint of grievance.

"Oh damn! I remember now. Look at my brain, it's all that guy surnamed Zhao's fault for making me stupid!"

Lu Bei slapped Hu San's face and rushed out of the safe zone guarded by the giant claws, avoiding the water flow and waterfalls, heading straight for the Alchemy Room where She Xuan was hiding.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I'm going to find the miss!"

"Find... find what?!"

Hu San had a string of question marks floating above his head. The Qingqian Ruins had a brothel. This Clear Water Gate really knew how to have fun!

The key was, why hadn't he noticed it before?

After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized.

"Brother, let her die. If she's still alive, your reward will be reduced."

Hu San shouted loudly, seeing Lu Bei leave without hesitation, rushing into the stone passage behind the wall. He shook his head and then smiled, "Having feelings and righteousness is worth deep friendship. You're going to be my right-hand man!"

Boom...

After a short wait, Hu San didn't wait for Lu Bei but instead witnessed the collapse of the dome under the weight of the water, with countless torrents falling rapidly.

The force of the impact tore everything apart, and the sturdy pyramid ruins were the first to be overturned by the spiritual vein's dragon, then pressed down and crushed by the water pressure, crumbling like paper.

Now it truly became a ruin!

Hu San didn't wait any longer. After causing trouble for a thousand years, he believed that Lu Bei definitely hadn't died. He, as a good person, couldn't stay here. It was the perfect time to leave before the lake's ferocious beasts returned.

Alchemy Room...

She Xuan, who was severely injured and unconscious, slowly woke up, hearing the sound of flowing water around her, understanding the situation roughly.

She calmly closed her eyes and waited for death, her heart undisturbed.

As for the promise Lu Bei had made, She Xuan didn't care about it at the time. Saving her was a matter of sentiment, not saving her was a matter of duty. It couldn't be forced, so naturally there was no resentment.

Putting oneself in someone else's shoes, if she were in Lu Bei's position, she would definitely...

Bang!

The lid of the alchemy furnace was violently kicked open.

She Xuan suddenly opened her eyes and saw Lu Bei, soaked from head to toe, reaching out his hand towards her.

"Auntie Snake, are you awake? It's time to hit the road!"

"..."

She Xuan stared blankly at Lu Bei. Water droplets fell from his fingertips onto her face, but she remained indifferent, still trapped in her own world.

"Seriously? You really came. Even if I die, you still want to use me as a shield?"

Lu Bei pulled the motionless She Xuan, seeing that she had no strength in her limbs, looking like a dead snake waiting to be disposed of. He looked at the continuously flowing water outside the Alchemy Room and without hesitation, he held her in one arm and unfastened his belt with the other.

She Xuan's mouth twitched. She rubbed against Lu Bei's embrace and confirmed that she couldn't exert any strength in her limbs. Then she closed her eyes.

"Stay still and don't move!"

Lu Bei said impatiently, using his belt to tie She Xuan to himself, tightening it around her slim waist. He muttered, "Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If it weren't for Sister Snake's threat, I wouldn't have risked saving you. Remember, you owe me two lives. From now on, you'll be my servant..."

She Xuan listened to the familiar babbling in her ears and sighed, "If you could save your own life by abandoning me, then go ahead. It was just a joke, why put yourself in danger?"

"You're saying that, I... cough, I, Lu Bei, have principles!"

The crack in the wall above them exploded. Lu Bei no longer wasted words, wading through the water and running towards the exit of the Alchemy Room. The booming sound of water pressed in, the water level rising rapidly in the passage, rolling towards him and She Xuan.

Lu Bei squinted his eyes, holding She Xuan tightly in his arms. The huge blue claws closed together, forming a defensive shield that firmly protected the two of them.

[Spiritual Illusion Lv6 (10/40000)]

The first time he saw this move, Lu Bei had an idea.

It was perfect for going into the tomb. If he didn't take it, he deserved to be struck by lightning.

When he obtained Hu San's blood, Lu Bei immediately activated the 'Blood Nest' skill. Using blood as a catalyst, he failed due to its randomness, but obtained a skill called 'Shape Illusion'.

A skill that can change one's appearance, far superior to She Xuan's skill of shedding skin and making a human mask. A skill of the crafty, definitely worth keeping.

Afterwards, using Hu San's blood as a catalyst again, he stole the 'Spiritual Illusion' skill.

The skill level of the Blood Nest was not high, currently only able to store two skills. Seeing this, Lu Bei deleted She Xuan's 'Snake Shedding' skill and stored all of Hu San's skills.

There's nothing to consider. Hu San Core Incubation Realm is not easily injured, and Lu Bei currently doesn't have any good means to make him bleed.

Otherwise, She Xuan is easy to bully, and she lives nearby. He can pass by her chamber even when he goes out for a walk.

Lu Bei thought to himself that he gained a lot of experience from this trip to the tomb. Once the "Blood Nest" skill levels up and the temporary storage increases, he can use the excuse of sparring to make her bleed again and regain the "Snake Shedding" skill.

Flawless, simply perfect.

...

The torrent crushed the pyramid ruins, and the earth's veins roared and trembled, scaring away the deep-sea behemoth.

After who knows how long, a blue sphere emerged from the muddy water and drifted calmly towards the surface of the lake.

She Xuan was surprised and curious about what kind of technique Lu Bei was practicing. Not only did he progress rapidly, but he also had new tricks every time they met.

The defensive shield formed by the giant claw slowly rose, and Lu Bei endured tremendous water pressure, rapidly depleting his cultivation.

Suddenly, a chill swept over him, and he nervously looked downwards. He didn't know when, but a deep-sea behemoth hidden beneath the water took an interest in the sphere and wanted to try its taste.

"Inhale, I'm going to accelerate!"

Lu Bei took a deep breath, switched to manual mode, deactivated the defensive mode of the giant claw, and switched to doggy paddle style to swim rapidly towards the surface.

The heavy water pressure struck, and Lu Bei's head went blank. He spat out blood and let out a big breath.

Insufficient cultivation, decreasing health points, meeting the conditions of triggering the passive skill "Backtrack." Health points rapidly recovered, strength and speed doubled, and the doggy paddle style became incredibly fast, moving away from the deep-water area where the behemoth was active.

She Xuan was heavily hit by the water pressure and was forced to transform into a snake tail, worsening her injuries once again.

She wasn't a water snake, but she was much better at holding her breath underwater and had stronger survival abilities. Seeing Lu Bei's pale face and bubbles continuously coming out of his mouth, she was reluctant, but still leaned towards him.

Suddenly attacked, Lu Bei turned his head in panic and narrowly protected his innocent first kiss, glaring angrily at the owner of the salty pig hand.

Senior sister had been craving it for so long but didn't have the courage to ask. Why should she let him taste the sweetness first just because he had long legs, a slim waist, big breasts, and was a rich woman?

Uh...

It seems like it's not impossible, reluctantly meeting the requirements. But principles cannot be changed. First come, first served. After taking the number, go line up.

Thinking of this, Lu Bei's expression softened, and he patiently educated her:

"Gurgle gurgle, gurgle gurgle——"

She Xuan: "..."

Rolling her eyes underwater, she was infuriated.
