656 Are You Psycho? (1/2)
Xu Que dashed out and cursed angrily, which shocked Liu Jingning and Buttface.
”Little brat, what happened? Why are you in such a panic after taking out an elixir?” Buttface asked suspiciously.
”I met a tough opponent . . . Forget it, I don't want to talk about it. I've got the Humanoid Fruit!” Xu Que said when he took out a red human-shaped fruit from the System Package.
Originally, he'd planned to tell them about the woman in Taoist robes. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that this issue had been caused by the mistake he'd made first.
If he hadn't annoyed that woman in Taoist robes with his rude words, she might not have driven him out forcibly. Because he didn't want to come back empty-handed, and because he'd counted on his Divine Escape Spells, he'd ruined half of the elixir fields and had uttered so many ruthless words. As a result, he'd almost lost his life after acting tough.
It was not a glorious deed, so he chose to omit it.
Liu Jingning took the Humanoid Fruit calmly and glanced at Xu Que with concern. ”Little brat, you're not wounded, right?”
”Wounded? Are you kidding? I am invincible!” Xu Que exclaimed with raised eyebrows. However, deep in his heart, he was not confident in saying that. This time he'd managed to escape using his wisdom. Anyone else in his position would have been killed on the spot.
He was greatly shocked. Although one couldn't tell the age of a cultivator from their face, Duan Jiude should at least be hundreds of years old—maybe even 1,000 years old. As his master, the woman in Taoist robes was at least several thousand years old!
How could a woman of several thousand years old have such a pretty face and sexy body? This was totally unbelievable!
”How much do you know about this Mystery Land? Why is it so mysterious?” Xu Que looked at Liu Jingning and Buttface. He wanted to know the history of this Mystery Land because it might be related to the woman in Taoist robes.
After all, he could now basically confirm that the woman had stayed in the elixir fields for many years. Otherwise, her strength would have shocked the entire World of Cultivators, let alone her amazing appearance and temperament.
”This Mystery Land is hard to understand. It has existed since ancient times. People say it was spotted by a powerhouse whose name was 'Immortal Tai Yuan.' He composed a notebook on it, which stated that this Mystery Land has nine layers. The ninth layer is connected to the World of Celestials. No one has ever reached the ninth layer. Therefore, this place is called the 'Tai Yuan Mystery Land!'” Liu Jingning said. That was all she knew.
Buttface had his nose in the air. He aloofly crossed his paws over his chest. ”You're wrong! From what I know, this Mystery Land is a fragment of a small world! During the war between celestials and demons in the ancient times, part of the battlefield was smashed, which fell down and landed in this area!”
”A world fragment? How could that be?” Liu Jingning was shocked.
Xu Que also frowned. What Buttface said was too incredible.
”It is absolutely true,” Buttface said confidently. ”I bought an ancient book from a street peddler. It said so in that book!”
Xu Que eye twitched. ”How do you know a story in a book you bought from a street peddler is true?”
”I can believe it's true, can't I?” Buttface said.
Bang!
Xu Que kicked Buttface. If this dog went several days without being beaten he became arrogant!
However, he didn't continue his investigation. No matter what this Mystery Land was, Liu Jingning and Buttface only had very limited information about it and couldn't make it clear.
Moreover, people didn't know Duan Jiude's history or background, let alone who his master was!
It seemed they weren't from this era or the four continents!
”Okay, little brat, since you've got what you want, let's hurry to the third layer. We can't waste too much time here!” Buttface urged.
”Are you planning to go to the third layer?” Liu Jingning asked in surprise.
Xu Que nodded. ”Yes, do you want to join us?”
Liu Jingning was stunned. Then, she shook her head with a wry smile. ”We can't reach the third layer!”
”Why not?”
”This area is too large. If we had five or six years, we might be able to reach the third layer. Now we only have two-and-a-half years left. Even if we do our best, we could reach the central area of the second layer at most!”
Buttface jumped up proudly and, with a smile, said, ”That's because you're weak! I know a shortcut that directly leads to the third layer by bypassing the second layer!”
”A shortcut?” Xu Que and Liu Jingning asked at the same time.
Buttface nodded. ”Exactly! It's a waterway. The river water flows upward. We only need a boat to reach the third layer!”
