Chapter 397: The Little Loli's Apology, 2 Billion Qi and Blood!

Zhuge Cuicui naturally saw what the two of them were wary of.

However, this time, she did not get angry or scold them as she had before.

"Two Junior Brothers, I know what you are thinking; the previous matters were my fault as your Senior Sister."

"Because, because in the past when Langlang Mountain recruited disciples, not only was there a rigid standard, but everyone also needed to undergo an assessment beforehand. You are the only two who could enter directly without meeting the criteria and without undergoing an assessment."

"The cultivators outside still... regarding our Langlang Mountain..."

"So I always viewed you as cultivators the same as everyone else outside..."

She lowered her gaze immediately, explaining as she apologized.

Not long ago, while Gongsun Qianmo was comforting Zhuge Cuicui, he had also done some ideological work on her.

He even told her many things about Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao from before.

Therefore, this Second Senior Sister of Langlang Mountain had long realized that she had been wrong before, and that she had been dead wrong!

Coming to find Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao tonight was at the instruction of Gongsun Qianmo.

But in fact, even if Gongsun Qianmo hadn't said anything, Zhuge Cuicui would have come to find the two of them herself!

"This..."

Although Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao did not know what Zhuge Cuicui meant by her later sentence.

What did the cultivators outside think of Langlang Mountain?

But at this moment, they realized that Zhuge Cuicui had truly come to repair their relationship, and was not, as they had imagined, trying to find a way to mess with them again!

"Two Junior Brothers, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

Zhuge Cuicui was still speaking at this time, and as she spoke, tears suddenly began to fall, patter, patter.

She was truly blaming herself to the extreme.

And although she looked young, it was undeniable that Zhuge Cuicui was very beautiful.

When she cried like this, the sense of pity she evoked was off the charts.

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao exchanged another look, and a telepathic message sounded in each other's minds simultaneously.

"Brother Bai/Brother Situ, let's hurry up and take the fruit."

Zhuge Cuicui was, after all, the person who had truly saved them from the hands of Nan Motian!

Her previous behavior had indeed made the two of them feel some dissatisfaction, but it was clearly because Zhuge Cuicui had some misunderstandings about them, and she hadn't caused them any actual loss.

Moreover, after Gongsun Qianmo's apology, they hadn't intended to hold a grudge against Zhuge Cuicui; they had just suspected a moment ago that she wanted to mess with them again.

"Alright!"

Because of the telepathic message, the two were stunned for a moment before smiles appeared on their faces simultaneously.

They both raised their hands at the same time and took the fruit from Zhuge Cuicui's hands!

Situ Chengdao was truly hungry and thirsty.

After simply dividing it with Ye Bai, he began to gnaw on it right there, disregarding any image.

Although Ye Bai had not experienced the feeling of hunger since awakening 【Reset】, and what Zhuge Cuicui gave them looked like just an ordinary wild fruit.

But because it was a gesture of goodwill from Zhuge Cuicui, he naturally ate it without any regard for his image!

"Two Junior Brothers, you, have you forgiven me?"

Zhuge Cuicui realized something at this time and smiled with pleasant surprise.

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao then received a surprise of their own!

"This, this fruit?!"

It was that after eating the plain-looking wild fruit given by Zhuge Cuicui, Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao simultaneously discovered in horror that a warm current had emerged within their bodies, and as this warm current spread throughout their entire bodies, their Qi and Blood Value was rising!

The speed of the increase was also extremely astonishing!

【Qi and Blood: 1.96 billion → 2.0 billion】

When the warm current in their bodies dissipated, Ye Bai's Qi and Blood Value had actually risen to 2 billion! It had increased by a full 40 million points!

The so-called wild fruit was shockingly a treasure of the world that surpassed the top-tier treasures within Blue Star by who knows how many times!

One must know that there were not many things in the entire Blue Star that could increase Ye Bai's Qi and Blood within half an hour!

"Second Senior Sister?"

They looked up at Zhuge Cuicui again.

Although they couldn't speak, their eyes were saying, Senior Sister, isn't the value of what you gave us a bit too high...

"Oh my, these two fruits are nothing, they are just things I picked up from some Secret Realm in the past."

"And they are of no use to me."

Zhuge Cuicui said.

Ye Bai and his companion were not stupid.

Zhuge Cuicui spoke in an understated manner.

But one didn't need to think to know that with the heaven-defying effects of the two fruits laid out here, even if they were of no use to Zhuge Cuicui herself, they could be sold for an extremely high price if taken out!

Perhaps she had even gone through a great battle at the time...

Zhuge Cuicui was willing to give the fruit to the two of them to eat because she felt guilty, and even more so because she had accepted their status as her two Junior Brothers!

However, what Zhuge Cuicui wanted was clearly not their thanks, so after another exchange of glances, the two calmed their emotions.

In their hearts, they had completely accepted this Second Senior Sister who seemed old-fashioned when they first met, but was actually just a little girl at heart!

"Two Junior Brothers, you shouldn't be hungry or thirsty now, right? Since that's the case, let me tell you about the method for climbing this mountain path!"

Zhuge Cuicui then continued, speaking of the real purpose for which Gongsun Qianmo had specifically instructed her to come and find Ye Bai and his companion.

It turned out that this mountain path of Langlang Mountain, while a test, was actually also an opportunity!

It was a manifestation of a sliver of the Great Dao Power of that Master, whose name Ye Bai and his companion didn't even know, let alone had met!

It is an opportunity that outside cultivators dream of, yet 99 percent of them could never obtain: a close-range encounter with the Great Dao Power of the top-tier powerhouses of the Xuanyuan World!

"Therefore, you are wrong to blindly pursue speed while climbing this mountain path."

"Although climbing one-seventh of the total distance in a single day is astonishing and has set a record never before seen on Langlang Mountain, and the expressions of some people are quite interesting because of it, you have actually missed the opportunity to become stronger."

"The correct way to climb the mountain path is to climb while simultaneously comprehending the Great Dao Power that Master left behind here!"

Zhuge Cuicui said!

She told Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao that all disciples of Langlang Mountain who climbed the mountain path in the past only succeeded in reaching the summit by gaining new insights!

"Also, two Junior Brothers, although you are only at the Second Step—especially you, Junior Brother Ye Bai, who has only just stepped into the Second Step not long ago—it may seem that you do not yet have the strength to comprehend the Great Dao."

"But you do not need to worry about this point; what I want to tell you is that, in fact, once you have stepped into the Dao Foundation Realm, you already have the ability to comprehend and even borrow the Great Dao Power!"

"You know of the Nine Sects, right? The top-tier prodigies there actually try to comprehend the Great Dao in advance; although the difficulty is high, there are indeed successful examples!"

Seemingly to make Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao believe her, Zhuge Cuicui added at the end.

However, there was actually no need for Zhuge Cuicui to add that last bit.

The moment the two of them knew that they could borrow the power here to comprehend their own Great Dao while climbing the mountain path, their eyes lit up!

Zhuge Cuicui only knew of the existence of the Four Saints and also knew that having Second Step strength was one of Ye Bai's trump cards.

But Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao also knew that the Four Saints had comprehended their own Great Dao in advance!

They had even used the Great Dao Power while still in the Mortal Realm to allow their External Incarnations to step into the Second Step!

Ye Bai and Situ Chengdao, of course, also wanted to comprehend their own Great Dao; they just hadn't been able to do so before!
