Chapter 44 We're Awesome
"We're awesome."
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu said in unison.
"You..."
Old Fang's eyes widened, so angry that he couldn't speak. He looked at Wan Lei, then at Fang Xiaoyu, and sighed.
His daughter used to be so pure, immaculate, and cold as frost, but ever since she got together with this Wan Lei, look at her now—arrogant and silly. Where's the slightest hint of a girl about her?
Then, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu briefly recounted their experiences in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm.
Since the others had also entered the plane of morality, there was nothing to hide, except for omitting things that shouldn't be said.
When they spoke of the continuous and extremely twisting tasks, Old Fang and the others sighed at how dangerous it was, how clever the enemies were, and how easily one could die without a burial.
When they spoke of the collapse of celestial bodies and the arrival of the apocalypse, Old Fang and the two elders tried desperately to imagine that world-destroying scene.
When they spoke of the shelters, Old Fang keenly grasped the key point.
"You two lived together?"
"Yeah, Old Fang, why are you so surprised? We used to... when we were in the spatial turbulence, we lived together too."
These words were spoken by Fang Xiaoyu.
Now she also called him Old Fang, like Wan Lei.
"Yeah, we're practically an old married couple, how could we sleep separately?"
Young Master Lei also couldn't understand it.
"You... you're corrupting morals!"
"Come on, our lives were almost gone then, who would care about that? You don't know, we were always hungry, eating only dry rations and drinking river and well water, our teeth were frozen, and we had diarrhea. We slept directly on the sand.
Especially later, during the ice age, the waterskin froze into a block of ice, and I kept it close to my body to warm it..."
Young Master Lei spoke casually, but he avoided the important details, greatly arousing Old Fang's concern and sympathy. He didn't bother to argue about them sleeping together anymore, and his heart ached so much he wanted to cry.
Then, they recounted everything that happened later, such as conquering territory, building forces, and finally Karen Yanglazi's betrayal.
"Maybe it's because we were about to starve to death in the end, and we really couldn't do the task anymore, so that world let us come back."
Of course, Wan Lei couldn't say that they had obtained the tokens and inheritance.
"Alas, none of the people in that world can be trusted."
"Yes, under the apocalypse, people's hearts change. You still have to protect yourself."
"In that kind of situation, in order to survive, in order to live better, people can really do anything."
"I hope our Lei Feng Realm doesn't have that day."
"That immortal is really something. If the task can't be completed, just let them come back. Why starve people to death? These two children have really suffered."
The three of them spoke one after another, making Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu's heads spin. The two stood up.
"Please wait a little longer, Elders. We're going to take a bath. We're too dirty."
As he spoke, Wan Lei tugged at the patched beggar's clothes he was wearing and pointed to Fang Xiaoyu's painted face.
"Okay, go quickly, don't rush. We've already waited three months anyway. We'll rest for a few more days before going back."
"Three months?"
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu were surprised, but they immediately thought of the "system" saying that the time flow in the secret realm was different from the outside world, and they understood.
The two walked out of the restaurant and headed towards the inn across the street.
Old Fang seemed to have thought of something and shouted loudly,
"You two wash separately!"
"No way!"
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu said in unison.
The two entered the room and looked at the large tub of hot water, their eyes filled with tears of excitement. They quickly took off their clothes and jumped in, happily starting to bathe.
They had already taken healing pills before eating, and their injuries were not serious and had already healed.
"Oh, right, wife, a divine ability suddenly appeared in my head. It's not Wind Summoning Rain, it's a divine ability called Blood Demon Art. I don't know where it came from."
"Oh, now that you mention it, a divine ability has appeared in my head too. It's called Azure Snail Water Dividing Sword, a complete set of swordsmanship."
"My Blood Demon Art can absorb the energy and vitality in the enemy's body to replenish myself. When cultivated to a powerful level, I can even absorb the enemy's attacks and return them.
Good家伙, this is simply invincible. The more I fight, the stronger I become, and the more the enemy fights, the weaker they become. This divine ability is too powerful. Is it a reward for completing the task?"
"I think it might be pity for starving to death. My set of swordsmanship is divided into four moves: Spring Rain Continuous, Midsummer Wind and Rain, Autumn Wind Falling Leaves, and Winter Proud Snow.
Each move has a different effect. Some are for attacking, some are for defending, some are for continuous consumption of the enemy, and some are for fierce attacks like a storm.
It's really powerful."
"Yes, yes, after we go back, you should practice it well. I'll give you the Blood Demon Art. In the future, when we fight people, we'll just release the Blood Demon Art and suck them dry first."
"The scene is too beautiful to imagine."
"Hahahaha..."
Listening to the evil laughter coming from the opposite room, Old Fang sighed repeatedly. How could his daughter be led astray by this Wan Lei like this?
After taking a bath, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu changed into clean clothes. Wan Lei didn't know why he liked blue clothes. Maybe it was because he thought Wan Liuchuan looked good in them. Fang Xiaoyu didn't know why she liked goose-yellow clothes.
That's how a character is supposed to be.
After Old Fang failed to persuade Fang Xiaoyu to go home again, the Lei-Yu duo followed the two elders and flew towards their respective sects.
This time, there was no reluctance. After all, the two had been together for two or three years, and they were almost annoyed by seeing each other.
Following Elder Wan Juxin all the way back to the Yin Yang Sect through the teleportation array, the two of them first went to pay respects to the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader was very surprised that Wan Lei was not dead, and Wan Lei also expressed his heartfelt belief that he would not die if the old thing did not die.
"It's good that you're back. The sect has a task for you."
Sect Leader Ji looked at Wan Lei with a smile, that smile quite like an old fox.
Young Master Lei was furious when he saw this!
"Old thing, I was almost exhausted to death in the Golden Immortal Secret Realm, and finally I was starved to death before returning to the Lei Feng Realm. I worked hard, risking my life, shedding blood and tears for the sect. Now that I've finally returned, you don't even care about me, let alone let me rest.
You might as well just kill me from exhaustion, even the donkeys in the production team can't do this!"
"Oh, that's a pity. Go and rest then. I'll give this mission with a million spirit stones reward to someone else."
"A million spirit stones?"
"Moreover, this mission requires going to the Kui Lian Sect. Since you're not willing to go..."
"Don't say anymore, what's the mission? I can do it right now!"
"Huh? Aren't you going to rest? Aren't you a donkey in the production team?"
"I can work harder than the donkeys in the production team!!!"
