51 Chen Long (2/2)
Hours… Spending hours arguing with each other!?
This sounded unimaginable to both Sofie and Yang Meng, but the moment they turned and looked at the annoyed expression on his face, both of them felt what he said might be true…
”B-but what about their safety! W-won't it be dangerous for them to stay here alone?”
Realizing that they would be leaving early, Sofie could not help but grow worried about them, they were after all still quite deep inside of the underground forest and there were strong demon beasts everywhere.
”Ah… You don't have to worry about them, while Yue Wan is only at the third stage of the qi condensation realm. My elder brother is already at the sixth stage, so there isn't that much of a threat to their lives. The crystal tortoise from earlier can be considered a coincidence and it most likely wouldn't even have bothered with us if my elder brother didn't start harassing it…”
Explaining about how strong Yue Wan and Chen Long was, Chen Chun looked a little helpless when he talked about his elder brother's earlier harassment of an innocent demon beast.
Hearing Chen Chun's explanation, Sofie quickly remembered the clash between Chen Long and the crystal tortoise earlier. The after shock from their clash alone had already destroyed the surroundings, there was no way Chen Long was weak, seeing as he survived and was… Somewhat fine, if you forgot about destroyed clothes. Now that she was thinking about it, there was no blood leaking from wounds or anything like that… Though he did have a few of his limbs bend in some strange directions…
Inspecting Chen Long, who was currently in a heated argument with Yue Wan about her getting lost in the underground forest. Sofie saw that most of his limbs had returned to how they normally looked.
Chen Long looked like nothing had happened to him and if it was not for the destroyed robe, Sofie would indeed believe that nothing had happened to him.
Mystified by the fast recovery of Chen Long, Sofie stared at him for a long time and it was only when Yang Meng grabbed hold of her hand and started dragging her away that Sofie recovered
Looking at Yang Meng, Sofie quickly threw Chen Long's fast recovery speed to the back of her mind and followed after Chen Chun walking in front of them.
…
Time passed and the journey through the underground forest was easy. The only time they encountered a demon beast, Sofie fought against it as it was only a rank 1 demon beast.
The fight was not spectacular in any way, as both Sofie and the small wolf looking demon beast had not yet reached the qi condensation realm.
Sofie used the simplest form of attack a cultivator had. Gathering qi in her hands to increase her punching strength.
The small wolf demon beast on the other hand was not so proficient and even though it had some qi inside it, it could not use any of it.
Normally, Sofie would never want to hurt something like a cute small wolf. The small wolf demon beast was an exception, it was not cute in any way and looked more like some sort of abomination created out of crystals and flesh.
The fight had ended quickly, and the group had continued onwards.
”By the way senior brother Chen Chun, what realm have you reached?”
Exiting the underground forest Yang Meng asked Chen Chun in a curious voice.
”Ah, I reached the sixth stage of the qi condensation realm as well, though my brother is already at the peak, while I just entered the realm…”
Chen Chun answered in a kind voice. During the journey, both Yang Meng and Chen Chun had hit it off pretty well even though Chen Chun was 6 years older.
”I see… You are indeed impressive senior brother Chen Chun!”
Yang Meng said in a heartfelt voice, clearly admiring Chen Chun.
Sofie, who was walking beside Yang Meng and was holding onto his hand. Ignored Chen Chun and Yang Meng's constant praise for one another and looked at the tunnel leading up to the surface and into the sect grounds.
Finally, she could get something to eat!
Thinking this, Sofie displayed a happy smile as she moved up the tunnel leading to the sect grounds.
