Chapter 301: Sisterly Affection (Second Update, Autumn Subscription)

Ni Dongmei held this matter in deep taboo and never mentioned it.

Fang Yue speculated it might be connected to Qi Ba Jiu Daren, who was both the Sect Master of the Flame Fire Sect and the Supreme Sect Master of the Ice Extreme Sect.

But even if Fang Yue's guess was correct, it could not change the fact that the Ice Extreme Sect refused to accept new disciples.

He was frustrated.

After tailing him several more times without success, the tail sighed.

Fortunately, aside from refusing this condition, Ni Dongmei still agreed to let the tail return to the village to say goodbye.

Then she turned into an ice wind, swept up the tail, and rushed toward Mo Cun.

Fang Yue froze for a moment, then quickly broke into a sprint, chasing after her.

"Wait! I haven't gotten on yet!"

In the chase, Ni Dongmei's ice wind grew faster and faster, gradually vanishing from Fang Yue's sight.

"Damn! Is this how the Ice Extreme Sect treats its benefactors? That's too much!"

Seeing he truly couldn't catch up, Fang Yue stopped running and shouted in frustration.

Fine, no free ride—I've got Bus 11. I'm proud to walk on my own two legs!

After scanning his surroundings, Fang Yue realized that during the frantic chase, he had somehow reached the border between the Maple Leaf Forest and the Ruoyunshi Ground.

Proceeding cautiously, he continued toward Mo Cun and stepped into the Ruoyunshi Ground.

After some time, Fang Yue reached the core area of the Ruoyunshi Ground.

Far off, under the midday sun, he could see a tent standing alone on an open grassland.

Outside the tent stood four people, seemingly chatting.

But when one of them glanced sideways and spotted Fang Yue, he suddenly widened his eyes and shouted out.

"It's Captain Ye! Regimental Commander Xu Pai, Captain Ye is back!"

Confused, Fang Yue watched as the four rushed toward him.

……

A strange ice wind moved swiftly through the forests of Yuanyuan Hill.

Suddenly, a slightly petulant voice emerged from within the ice wind.

"Why didn't you take Ye Ge with you?"

"My split-body's power is limited, and he's strong enough to survive in the wild—no need to waste split-body power on him."

"Alright… then, do you agree to let Wu Wu join the Ice Extreme Sect?"

"I agree, but it won't help. Unless you're a special case like yourself, for someone like her, I can only provide one Disciple Token—let her go to the Ice Extreme Sect on her own and take the Disciple Selection. Pass, and she enters; fail, and she's expelled."

"Then, can she travel with us?"

"Same answer: I cannot waste split-body power on other matters."

"I originally had enough split-body power left to do more."

"But Qi Ba Jiu Daren casually destroyed it once—my power dropped, and even though I was rescued immediately, the lost split-body power can never be restored."

"So I must conserve my split-body power and use it all to escort you back to the Ice Extreme Sect. To be honest, bringing you to Mo Cun is already a waste of split-body power—I hope this is your final childish demand."

"It's not that serious—just letting her travel with us."

"Then she'll die on the road. I won't protect her, and you can't protect her. She'd be walking the wilds with zero defense—no different from a dead person."

The tail fell silent, sighed, and knew Ni Dongmei's mind was made up.

Fortunately, she had already secured Wu Wu a chance to enter the Ice Extreme Sect—whether Wu Wu could enter now depended entirely on her own fate.

But in truth, the tail didn't know how extraordinary the Ice Extreme Sect's trials were.

With Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's current talent and strength, entering directly stood no chance of passing the trials!

Meanwhile, as the tail pondered these things, Ni Dongmei recalled Fang Yue's earlier words.

"I have a friend… If that friend truly exists, he'd be truly terrifying."

"I'd like to see the legendary Guilinggen with my own eyes."

"Unfortunately, Guilinggen doesn't exist—it's a colossal lie!"

"So it's all nonsense. If you chase after something nonexistent, Yese Liming, you'll only become a pitiful clown."

"I hope you're smart enough to understand my good intentions—to attribute everything to the fruit of the Xiongyuan Pill and abandon that line of thought."

"Otherwise, Yin Cha will appear!"

Fang Yue's description subtly matched the legendary Guilinggen.

But Guilinggen is a colossal lie.

Countless people have tried—but none succeeded.

The more one becomes obsessed, the harder it is to escape.

It is an absolute path of evil!

Forbidden by the Heavenly Dao, beyond Causality!

To touch it is death.

As she thought, Mo Cun came into view.

Suppressing her thoughts, she dissolved the ice wind and entered from the front, quickly arranging everything.

Let the tail meet his friends—and immediately contact the sect!

In the room at Qing Ya Ke Zhan, Ni Dongmei again used her split-body power to contact the sect.

After reporting the situation, the sect quickly issued new orders.

"What?! No need to take the tail away—just wait for me in Mo Cun? Are they worried my remaining split-body power isn't enough to protect the tail? Have those bastards already secretly ambushed the road back to the sect? Has it really become this serious…?"

Ni Dongmei's expression turned grim.

This was different from the result she had anticipated, but the sect's command outweighed everything else.

So she could only deliver this news to Weiba.

"Yay!"

Weiba cheered.

She knew that once she went to the Extreme Ice Sect, meeting Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu and Fang Yue and the others in the game would become very difficult, so she especially cherished these last moments in Mo Cun.

"Is anyone here to pick me up? I feel like I'm fully prepared! I can take the Extreme Ice Sect's entrance exam right now!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu spoke with reckless confidence, making Ni Dongmei's mouth twitch slightly. She couldn't help but say, "You haven't even stepped onto the Martial Dao, and you really think you have a chance to enter the Extreme Ice Sect?"

Huh?

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu froze for a moment: "Aren't you going to open a back door for me?"

"The Extreme Ice Sect respects strength above all—there's never been a back door!"

"……Eh? Ehhhh?! Then what do I do? Even with a quota, I can't get into the Extreme Ice Sect!"

"What does it have to do with me? Weiba's request, I've fulfilled. Whether you succeed is your own problem. It's a pity about that kid Yese Liming—he learned the Blazing Fire Sect's Heart Method. Otherwise, with that ticket of his, he might have actually passed the exam and become a disciple of the Extreme Ice Sect."

After a pause, Ni Dongmei let out two cold laughs: "But he who brings trouble upon himself has no one to blame. He learned the Blazing Fire Sect's Heart Method, so he deserves to be shut out by the Extreme Ice Sect!"

But Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu had no mind to listen to her rambling.

After learning she had no chance to enter the Extreme Ice Sect, she became completely dazed.

Life's great ups and downs were too much of a blow.

One second ago, she had thought she was about to become a top-tier player like Fang Yue and Weiba.

The next second, she was told the truth—a loser has no right to be a top-tier player!

Damn it!

Time to fight! I, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, am going to fight too!!

Tomorrow, tomorrow I'll eat a hundred steamer baskets of buns—I'll eat until I drop!

A strange fighting spirit flickered in Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu's eyes, but the very next day, after eating only ten buns, she burst out crying with a wail: "No more! No more! This isn't fit for humans, boohoo! To hell with the Extreme Ice Sect—can't I just not go anymore…"
