Chapter 1175: You Really Do Have Secrets
Returning to the hotel, after listening to Chen Yu's words, Ning Ruoxue could not help but fall into deep thought.
"You mean, she is not an ordinary person?" Ning Ruoxue asked.
"Definitely not an ordinary person." Chen Yu shook his head, touching his lips which were still somewhat numb, and said, "When she bit me, I didn't even have time to react, and with my strength, if an ordinary person bit me, they could break their teeth."
"So everything about her is unusual; I think she must have some secret." Chen Yu said.
"Come, come here." Ning Ruoxue beckoned to Chen Yu.
"What for?" Chen Yu asked, somewhat baffled.
"Hold out your hand." Ning Ruoxue said again.
Chen Yu followed her instructions and held out his hand.
Ning Ruoxue grabbed his arm and took a fierce bite. Chen Yu was startled; he had True Qi in his body, and if she bit down like this, she would break her teeth.
However, Chen Yu's reaction speed was also extremely fast; when she bit down, Chen Yu quickly withdrew his True Qi.
Then Ning Ruoxue bit down hard directly onto Chen Yu's arm; she only felt as if she had bitten into a piece of hard iron.
She let out a soft cry of "Ouch," her entire mouth of teeth was shaken until it ached, and a trace of fresh blood even spilled from her lips.
But Chen Yu's arm was completely unscathed, without even a tooth mark, which left Ning Ruoxue astonished. She covered her numb mouth, looked up, and said resentfully, "Is your flesh made of iron?"
"I had already withdrawn my protective True Qi in time; otherwise, it wouldn't have been as simple as blood flowing from the corner of your mouth; all the teeth in your mouth might have been broken." Chen Yu said speechlessly.
"Fine, I believe you." Ning Ruoxue nodded: "According to what you say, she is indeed not ordinary. Does she have some kind of fortuitous encounter?"
"I don't know. We used to be quite loving, but her personality suddenly changed. I couldn't figure out why at the time." Chen Yu sighed and said.
"You really are a big blockhead. The former Chen Yu abused her so much, yet she never said she didn't love you. Now that you are so good to her, she suddenly loathes you; there must be a reason for this. You didn't even go to find out?" Ning Ruoxue glared at Chen Yu.
"I really don't know." Chen Yu was between laughter and tears; a woman's heart is too hard to understand.
"For her to be like this, there must be some unavoidable hidden reason. You have to find out. By the way, why do you think she came here?" Ning Ruoxue asked.
"I don't know." Chen Yu's brows locked slightly: "Could it be... that she also came for the things inside the Cloud Void Realm?"
"It's not impossible." Ning Ruoxue said: "Regardless, take this opportunity to properly interact with her. Perhaps you can even have a heart-to-heart talk, and any misunderstandings between you will naturally be resolved."
"I hope so. It would be best if I could meet her inside the Cloud Void Realm." Chen Yu nodded slightly.
In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Seeing that the timing was about right, the next day he and the little fox set off toward the Cloud Void Realm.
Everything west of Shu City is mountain road; once you leave Shu City and head west, you reach the plateau region.
The location of the Cloud Void Realm is in a mountain valley. There is no direct road to this place, so one must travel on foot.
Along the way, they climbed mountains and crossed ridges, and the place was sparsely populated, but everyone they met along the way had a specific purpose.
Chen Yu's attire was ordinary, and with Shanwei, they looked like a couple on a trip, so they didn't attract much attention.
Another group of people passed by them. This group wore minority ethnic clothing, and one of the girls among them was riding a mount. This mount had giant horns on its head and a body like a horse; it must be a rare exotic beast.
And these people's attire looked like that of people from some Dharma Cultivation sect. As for their background, Chen Yu was not clear.
"This mount is an exotic beast from the Demon Realm. Dharma Cultivators among you humans will capture them to use as mounts. It seems this group is not simple; people who can go deep into the Demon Realm to catch this Double-Horned Beast are definitely not ordinary people." Shanwei said.
"You recognize this thing?" Chen Yu glanced at this group of people and said in a low voice: "The people we've met along this road, judging by their travel routes, should have the same destination as us. This trip to the Cloud Void Realm is not going to be simple."
"Does everyone think there will be rare treasures in that place? Some of the tricks of the Ghost Clan can deceive so many people; it seems we are not reconciled to those things." Shanwei said.
"After the great war between the two sides back then, the Underworld had not yet been formed, and there were too many wandering souls with nowhere to go, which is what formed the Ghost Clan." Chen Yu said: "If it weren't for the fact that the Underworld was built later, adding the path of Reincarnation, the power of the Ghost Clan would have grown larger and larger."
"Although these Ghost Clan members now sleep in the earth, they are still unable to extricate themselves from their former power and strength, so their ambition is to replace the Underworld." Chen Yu said.
"That is truly terrifying." Shanwei sighed: "Humans are the most spiritual of all creatures; they have unique advantages in every aspect."
"But the only drawback is that their desires are too strong. If it weren't for humans having so many desires, the Ghost Clan would not have had an opportunity to exploit."
"There's no help for it; people in the world are all like this." Chen Yu shook his head and sighed; regarding this matter, he did not make much comment.
Just at this moment, the group of people in front stopped. The girl riding the exotic beast, dressed in bright red minority ethnic clothing, sat down. She glanced at Chen Yu and Shanwei, and then signaled to the people beside her.
The subordinate beside her nodded slightly, and then he walked to Chen Yu's side and said: "This friend, my master invites you."
Chen Yu glanced at the girl, and the girl gave Chen Yu a sweet smile.
He could not figure out the other party's background, but Chen Yu still took Shanwei and walked forward.
"Hello, we are from the Seven Star Sect in Shu. May I ask where the two of you are from?" The girl smiled slightly at Chen Yu.
"Seven Star Sect? What place is that?" Chen Yu looked confused and blank.
In fact, he knew in his heart that it was a sect deep in the mountains somewhere in Shu, mainly composed of ethnic minorities, and they primarily practiced the Heavenly Shaman Arts.
It was just that he didn't know what kind of people the other party was, so he could only play dumb and pretend he had never heard of it. In this way, it would make her think he was an ordinary person even more.
"He is an ordinary person." A subordinate said softly beside the girl.
The girl nodded slightly and then smiled: "It's a sect; you wouldn't understand even if I told you. My name is Tianxin, and you?"
"Chen Yu, this is Shanwei." Chen Yu took a pseudonym for the little fox; the name "Three Tails" sounded strange.
Moreover, when they came out, he had already placed a Spirit-Concealing Talisman on the little fox to restrain her demonic aura; otherwise, if they encountered people from the Dharma Cultivators, her identity as a member of the Demon Clan would be very troublesome.
