Chapter 680: The Black Goat's Unusualness

Chen Qinger lay on the ground, gritting her teeth, completely ignoring the scorched black on her body; after being bombarded by the heavenly tribulation, her whole body was scorched black.

She, covered in ash and dirt, didn't care at all; all she felt was the joy and excitement of having survived the heavenly tribulation.

After Chen Chuyang swallowed the tribulation clouds, Chen Qinger watched this scene, and her smile came to an abrupt stop.

The tribulation she had painfully endured, when it reached her cousin, was like a swimming dragon—it caused no harm at all; the tribulation power within those clouds was terrifying, far more terrifying than the tribulation she had survived, yet her cousin became even more spirited.

"You… what did you just do?" Chen Qinger sat up, gritting her teeth as she asked.

"I didn't do anything; I just saw those tribulation clouds and didn't want them to go to waste, so I helped you swallow them. How about it, do you want some?"

A streak of tribulation lightning appeared on Chen Chuyang's fingertip; its terrifying aura was identical to that of the tribulation, with no difference.

Feeling that terrifying tribulation aura, Chen Qinger shrank back, not wanting to face it again, and hastily waved her hands: "No, I don't want it."

"It's wonderful, I promise it'll make you feel blissful, as if ascending to heaven and dying on earth."

Chen Qinger rolled her eyes at her cousin, who was actually teasing her and saying such things; if her father found out, he would surely beat up this cousin.

"Cough cough, cousin, you'd better save those words for your sister-in-law."

"Your sister-in-law would definitely like to hear that."

Upon hearing that, Chen Chuyang burst out laughing: "Hahaha, your sister-in-law would naturally like it, but if you dare mess around again, see if I don't beat you."

Second Uncle had him keep an eye on this cousin sister, meaning he should protect her well and guarantee Chen Qinger's safety; in other matters, Second Uncle could ignore them, but she must not die.

Just staying alive is enough; that is Second Uncle's requirement.

Who knows how long this cousin sister had been behaving; as soon as no one was watching, she started misbehaving.

Sure enough, she's his good cousin sister; her adventurous spirit has always been there, never abandoned at any time.

"I was wrong, Chuyang brother."

"Hmph, it had better be the last time, otherwise don't blame me for using other means next time." Chen Chuyang said lightly: "I think you'll definitely like it."

Chen Qinger hurried over to Chen Chuyang, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly: "Chuyang brother, I was wrong, I really was wrong, I won't dare again."

"Hmph, that's for the best."

"Playing brother, this time it was an accident; I hadn't intended to break through, but who knew, in a daze I just broke through, and by the time I realized, it was too late—I could only grit my teeth and condense a golden core."

Chen Qinger hadn't wanted to condense a golden core so quickly, but who knew, she couldn't control herself.

While cultivating, cultivating, he suddenly broke through, and he didn't want that either.

Helpless, one can't just stop, can they?

"Alright, don't explain; this kind of thing had better happen only this once, otherwise I and Second Uncle won't be able to account for it."

"I know, I know, I was wrong, Chuyang brother."

Chen Qinger, knowing the times makes a hero, immediately lowered her head and admitted her mistake; this cousin brother yields to softness, not hardness.

She had pretty much figured out Chen Chuyang's personality and firmly grasped this cousin brother.

Chen Chuyang rolled his eyes at her; this sister has also learned bad things, not learning the good stuff, insisting on imitating that Hongxue lass's ways.

"Let's go, we should head back."

"Okay."

When the two returned to Longshe Shan, Shang Hongxue immediately approached and stared at Chen Qinger.

Chen Qinger turned around in a circle, cooperating with her inspection.

"Sister-in-law, I succeeded in condensing a golden core—how was that? Am I impressive?"

"Impressive, Qinger sister is the most impressive, unlike some people who claim to be geniuses with their mouths but……"

"Pointing at the mulberry to curse the locust—what a clever move—Shang Yue caught on."

His gaze swept over the elder sister; the elder sister's face twitched, her fists clenched, ready to strike at any moment.

As expected of the second sister, she can provoke the elder sister anytime, anywhere; their battle has been ongoing, never stopping.

"The second sister is indeed formidable; she always mocks the elder sister at any time."

"If I were the elder sister, I would surely be angered to death."

Shang Yue observed the elder sister's changing expression, silently distancing himself from the two of them.

Like him, the black goat also withdrew early from the fray to avoid collateral damage.

The two exchanged a glance and shared a sly smile.

On Longshe Shan, only Zhuge Gui was uninterested.

Sitting in his seat, he paid attention to nothing, pretending not to hear anything.

Chen Chuyang looked at Shang Hongxue, then at Shang Hongchen, cleared his throat and said: "Alright, don't show off; Qinger sister, your cultivation is not yet stabilized, you need to solidify it properly—over the next few months, don't act up; only when your cultivation is stabilized will you come out."

"If you dare to act up again, I guarantee you'll regret it."

Chen Qinger hurriedly lowered her head and said: "Chuyang brother, I understand."

She admitted her mistake quickly, answering straightforwardly.

Chen Qinger also didn't forget to glance at Shang Hongchen— that smug look, that provocative gaze, and the mockery in her eyes.

"See? I've also condensed a golden core; now it's just you left."

"By then, Shang Yue might also have condensed a golden core, while you're still stuck in place."

"It must be said, that glance seemed to say nothing, yet it contained so much; Shang Hongchen exploded with rage."

"Once again stimulated, her heart became unsteady."

"……"

"She wanted to scold someone, wanted to speak, but didn't know where to begin."

"Because Chen Qinger said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything."

Shang Hongxue was astonished, giving Chen Qinger a thumbs-up; indeed, Qinger sister is formidable—just one glance made the elder sister let down her guard.

Indeed, that's the case, Shang Hongchen's defenses broke; these people younger than her, those inferior to her, yet able to walk ahead of her and condense their golden core a step earlier—how could it not break her defenses.

Their cultivation conditions are not as good as mine—resources, cultivation methods, or sect—none are as good as mine.

Nothing compares to me; as a result, they broke through, while I remain stuck in place.

Chen Qinger went into closed-door cultivation and cannot come out.

Shang Hongxue walked over to Shang Hongchen's side, patted her elder sister's shoulder, and comforted her: "Elder sister, actually you don't need to feel sad, nor feel struck down; you can't compare to Qinger little sister—that's completely normal."

You too, don't worry too much—really, there's no need to worry.

We can condense a golden core because it's the result of our persistent diligent cultivation.

Finally, this sentence is the killing blow.

Shang Hongchen stood frozen in place, her pupils widened, staring at the sister before her, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

She opened her mouth, but for a long time couldn't utter a word.

Chen Chuyang froze, staring at the Hongxue girl before him; when did this little girl's mouth become so articulate? Though her lips are as cherry-like, she can utter such vicious words.

"Cough cough cough." Heishanyang coughed once and gave Chen Chuyang a look.

Chen Chuyang followed Heishanyang to the side and asked, "What's wrong?"

Heishanyang lowered his voice: "Kid, heaven and earth seem to have changed again; I estimate that a Tianwai person has descended."

"Huh?"

Chen Chuyang sensed it, and indeed it was so.

"Could we sense that person's exact location?"

Heishanyang shook his head: "That person disappeared, vanished in an instant."

"This is troublesome; those who come are not kind."

"Yeah, those who come are not kind; you should be careful."
