Chapter 197: Afraid he'll bully me, yet afraid he won't

Be careful!

In the new Spirit Realm, Lu Xun and Murong Wan had just gone out when they encountered a group of star-space aliens.

The two simultaneously attacked, killing all of those star-space aliens.

The air is really good.

After dealing with the star-space aliens, Lu Xun began to survey this Spirit Realm.

This Spirit Realm is numbered 67, a five-star rated Spirit Realm.

Compared to other Spirit Realms, the natural environment of No. 67 Spirit Realm is better; it is located near a relatively stable star, with lush vegetation everywhere and towering trees over a hundred meters tall.

Such a Spirit Realm contains plenty of heaven-and-earth spiritual things.

Dangers are likewise numerous.

Because the ecosystem is intact, the number of star-space aliens here is far greater than in other Spirit Realms.

The lush vegetation, conversely, makes searching for heaven-and-earth spiritual things more difficult.

Spirit Realms like the Scarlet Flame Continent, with vast expanses of red earth, make it obvious where vegetation and star-space aliens are abundant.

Where there is vegetation, there are often heaven-and-earth spiritual things.

But in this Spirit Realm, dense vegetation covers everywhere, making even a divine sense search rather taxing.

Of course, that is for others.

For Lu Xun, however, it is not too big a problem.

He immediately activated the Heavenly Dao Eye and began searching.

Many aliens.

Upon searching, Lu Xun found that the star-space aliens in this Spirit Realm are indeed quite numerous.

They are many times denser than those on the Scarlet Flame Continent.

No wonder, even though the natural environment here is better and there are more heaven-and-earth spiritual things, many Five Realm cultivators still would not choose this place.

With so many star-space aliens, not only is movement difficult, but the heaven-and-earth spiritual things nurtured in the Spirit Realm will not remain plentiful.

As soon as they mature, they will be eaten clean by the star-space aliens.

There's something.

Soon, Lu Xun made a discovery.

On the territory of a group of star-space aliens, there is something.

He did not rush over, but continued searching for a while until the Heavenly Dao Eye reached its limit, then he stopped.

Wan'er, let's go.

Lu Xun's address to Murong Wan once again became Wan'er.

Without further ado, he took Murong Wan's little hand and boarded the flight vessel.

The flight vessel shot up to the treetops, straight toward the place Lu Xun had seen.

In the forest, a flock of birds was startled, flew out, each suddenly enlarging and attacking the flight vessel.

Wan'er, it's up to you.

After Lu Xun dealt with the few largest birds, he no longer intervened.

Clang~

Sword qi tore through the air, like a cold-pool flood dragon just awakening.

Accompanied by a clear, trembling sound, star-space aliens were successively cut apart.

Finally, the last star-space alien was slain by Murong Wan.

She sheathed her sword and stood, her sleeves falling like clouds gathering the moon; the last wisp of sword qi turned into a cold gleam, silently sinking into the scabbard.

Pap~

Wan'er, well done.

Lu Xun clapped his hands.

Murong Wan walked on empty air and returned to the flight vessel.

Rise~

The flight vessel shot up into the sky, rushing toward a direction.

This time, Lu Xun flew the flight vessel a bit higher to avoid startling the star-space aliens in the forest.

Even so, star-space aliens still occasionally attacked.

After more than an hour, finally, the place arrived.

Lu Xun descended from the sky, startling a large group of star-space aliens.

Wan'er, it's up to you.

After killing all the Five Realm star-space aliens, Lu Xun turned his gaze to Murong Wan.

Inside there were still several Four Realm aliens.

But Lu Xun did not prepare to act.

Murong Wan ignited her fighting spirit, tapped her toes, her form like a startled swan's shadow, stepping into the void, her long sword's cold light flowing, pointing straight at the surging star-space aliens ahead.

Wan'er, the essence of the Myriad Tribulations Sword Intent lies in being firm and decisive.

Lu Xun sat leisurely on a large stone, one hand supporting his chin, commenting as if watching a play: 'When drawing the sword, the eight meridians must resonate together to truly unleash the Myriad Tribulations Sword Qi...'

His voice was unhurried, as if this battle were merely a sword practice.

However, watching Murong Wan fight is indeed a pleasure.

Her posture was graceful like a startled swan, her sword moves fierce as lightning; each sweep and each maneuver carried the rhythm of flowing clouds and water.

Rather than saying it is a slaughter, it is better to say it is an exquisite sword dance—though hidden within this dance posture lies a killing intent.

Those star void alien species howled as they charged, but they all shattered under her sword light.

However, as three fourth-realm alien species attacked, Murong Wan fell into a bitter battle.

She dodged with Divine Trace Step, blocked enemies with sword qi, and her offense was extremely fierce.

Those three fourth-realm alien species were not simple either; their form was that of a wolf-like animal, with agile movements and extremely quick reactions.

Swish~

Finally, Murong Wan seized the opportunity and beheaded one fourth-realm alien species.

After killing one, Murong Wan's fighting spirit soared, her sword qi like a rainbow, and combined with Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze, she actually consecutively beheaded two fourth-realm alien species.

Roar!

The fourth fourth-realm alien species launched a sneak attack.

Murong Wan's sword momentum was spent; it was the moment she ran out of strength.

Just as Lu Xun was about to make a move, a crystal-clear light appeared in Murong Wan's eyes.

The next second, a seven-colored rosy light shot out, blasting that fourth-realm alien species away.

Taking this opportunity, Murong Wan rushed in to kill, and the Layered Shadow Sword turned into a sky-filling sword light that surrounded the fourth-realm alien species.

The fourth-realm alien species had just shattered the sword light of the Layered Shadow Sword, but the sword qi of the Flowing Cloud Sword came down and cut it in half.

Good!

Lu Xun cheered.

Murong Wan's combat prowess grew increasingly formidable.

With the cultivation level of third realm fourth layer, she consecutively killed four fourth-realm alien species.

Having such combat prowess is also normal.

In every realm, she surpassed limits; when opening her apertures, she likewise unlocked heaven-defying divine abilities.

The Myriad Calamity Formless Sword that Lu Xun taught her was far stronger than ordinary martial arts.

Moreover, the combat prowess of these fourth-realm alien species is not too strong; they are somewhat weaker than cultivators of the same realm.

After the last alien species turned to flying ash, Murong Wan slowly sheathed her sword, her chest rising and falling slightly, fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead, glistening with a crystal-clear luster in the sunlight.

Having dealt with the star void alien species, the time for harvest had come.

It was a glowing tree, and fruit had already formed on it.

The fruit was still green, and it would take some time to mature.

"Transplanting is a bit difficult... Forget it, just pick the fruit."

A tree this big cannot be transplanted realistically.

Lu Xun picked all the fruit.

"Waner, let's go."

After everything was settled, Lu Xun took out the flying boat again and jumped aboard.

A vague sense of emptiness flickered across Murong Wan's heart.

Along the way, aside from when fighting, Lu Xun hardly ever let go of her little hand.

Being alone with Lu Xun, she indeed felt a little afraid.

Afraid of being bullied by Lu Xun.

But Lu Xun didn't bully her anymore... Murong Wan instead felt a bit lost.

She held her sword and boarded the flying boat.

The flying boat suddenly accelerated, shooting toward the sky.

Murong Wan lost her balance and fell into Lu Xun's embrace.

"So fragrant……"

Lu Xun murmured softly, the delicate fragrance of Murong Wan's body swirling around his nose.

Her body seemed to naturally carry a sweet, non-cloying orchid scent; even the faint sweat she exuded gave off a delicate fragrance, making people unable to resist drawing near.

Murong Wan's pretty face flushed red, and she hurriedly withdrew from Lu Xun's embrace.

"Waner, you've worked hard."

Lu Xun raised his hand, his fingertips lightly brushing over her smooth forehead, wiping away the fine beads of sweat for her.

However, his gaze momentarily froze at this moment—

The beauty before him, her cheeks flushed crimson from the fierce battle, resembled peach blossoms in March soaked with morning dew, or a ripe peach exuding an alluring luster.

That blush spread from her cheeks to the tips of her ears, and even quietly trailed down her slender neckline, disappearing into the collar.

Ng~

A soft hum escaped her lips, and Lu Xun ultimately couldn't hold back, lowering his head to capture her two soft lips.

After all, it's easy for a lone man and woman to get into trouble when together.

If there were others around, Lu Xun would still restrain himself to some extent.

But at this moment, it seemed as if only the two of them remained in heaven and earth, and the desire in their hearts spread like wildfire.

Murong Wan closed her eyes tightly, allowing Lu Xun to rub and grind against her lips.

A slight numbing tremor spread from her lips and teeth, making her whole body go limp.

Her lips and tongue were incredibly soft, carrying a fresh sweet taste.

Lu Xun forcefully pried open her teeth, his tongue thrusting straight in, entwining with her fragrant tongue, as if seeking to claim every breath of hers as his own.

Mm……

Murong Wan's ear tips reddened to the point of almost dripping blood, and even her snow-white neck took on a rosy hue.

This made her even more breathtakingly beautiful.

She is always shy, even though they are already as intimate as can be between them.

Even one kiss can make Murong Wan blush until her ears turn red.

She is stunningly beautiful, drawing people in deeper and deeper, unable to pull away.

"Don't... don't..."

After being kissed by Lu Xun for several minutes, Murong Wan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Lu Xun's hand had, at some point, lifted her skirt and invaded her vital spot.

She wanted to stop Lu Xun,

but in the end her heart softened and she gave up resisting.

Let Lu Xun press her against the bow of the ship, revisiting their old haunt together.

This battle,

lasted a considerable time before ending.

Lu Xun's pent-up anger from days past dissipated completely, his mind becoming much clearer.

Considering they still had to act later, Lu Xun did not go for a second round.

After all, the most important thing this time was to help Murong Wan increase her strength.

Murong Wan's fingertips trembled slightly as she pulled her collar tight, then lifted her hand to tidy her disheveled black hair.

She raised her long sword, standing alone at the prow of the flying vessel, her gaze drifting toward the distant surging sea of clouds, never daring to look back at Lu Xun behind her.

Each time before, she would leave early after it ended.

The two of them had no experience communicating afterward.

Thus, after being bullied by Lu Xun, Murong Wan often didn't know how to face him.

Lu Xun cast a spell seal, dispelling the restraint placed around them.

A restraint can be considered a type of formation.

The difference from a formation is that a restraint relies heavily on the strength of the one who set it.

And if one's strength is sufficient, it can be forcibly broken.

Formations, however, are more sophisticated; some formation masters may not be strong themselves, yet the formations they set up can be extremely terrifying.

At the instant the restraint vanished, the flying vessel surged forward again, breaking through the wind.

Mountain wind swept past the ship's side, lifting Murong Wan's skirt and hair ends.

She stood like a drawn sword, straight at the bow; only the faint red still lingering on her ear tips betrayed the recent intimacy.

Suddenly, a warm pressure pressed against her back.

Lu Xun came up behind her, resting his chin on her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her slender waist.

This time, Lu Xun did not misbehave; his hand stayed properly on her waist, and he even kept his breathing extremely light.

The forest sea flowed beneath their feet, and the long wind swept past their ears.

Neither of them spoke.

Yet something softer than words was quietly growing in that tiny space between them aboard the flying vessel.
