Chapter 213: Chapter 194: Although My Senior Brother Is a Dog, He Still Looks Down on You

Black Cloud Mountain, located 2,350 li north of the Wandao Sect.

The mountain peak was extremely high, piercing straight into the clouds, and because the entire mountain was pitch-black, it was called Black Cloud Mountain.

As Yu Yunwei and the others ventured into the mountain, the relaxed looks they wore gradually faded, replaced by tension.

This mountain was home to Sixth-Grade Magical Beasts. If they weren’t careful and provoked one of those creatures, they would be in for more trouble than they could handle. Even escaping would become a luxury.

Not that they had any intention of provoking a Sixth-Grade Magical Beast, of course.

After all, they were just here to collect Demon Cores and complete their mission, not to get themselves killed.

Not long after entering Black Cloud Mountain, they encountered a Seventh-Grade Magical Beast.

The five of them surrounded and attacked it together, easily slaying the beast before extracting its Demon Core.

The Wandao Sect’s mission required the five of them to collect a total of fifty Demon Cores from Eighth-Grade Magical Beasts and ten from Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts.

Yu Yunwei made a quick calculation.

’I’ll probably have to stay on Black Cloud Mountain for about seven days.’

’That’s fine.’

In fact, Yu Yunwei wouldn’t have minded staying even longer.

’The last thing I want is to see that damn senior brother’s face so soon.’

But as the days passed, Yu Yunwei found that being with these fools was even more boring. It might even be worse than dealing with her damn senior brother.

Over the course of several Magical Beast hunts, Yu Yunwei got a general sense of Li Nan and his companions’ fighting styles and the Techniques they used.

She took careful note of their personalities as well, committing everything to memory.

In contrast, Yu Yunwei concealed the Illusory Heaven Technique she cultivated, fighting only with her Blood Demon Saber Technique and Talismans.

’After all, who knows when I might have to slaughter them?’

’It’s not out of the question.’

’When that time comes, the Illusory Heaven Technique will be my final trump card.’

「Six days passed quickly.」

Yu Yunwei and her four companions had collected nearly all the Demon Cores they needed on Black Cloud Mountain. They were only short three from Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts.

They expected to finish collecting the last of the Demon Cores by the next morning.

“Junior Sister Yu, what’s wrong? You look a little unhappy.”

Qu Xiaotao sat down beside Yu Yunwei, asking with a smile.

For the past few days, Qu Xiaotao had been constantly trying to cozy up to Yu Yunwei, asking numerous questions about Xiao Mo.

Though Yu Yunwei appeared open and chatted happily with her, she was actually growing to despise the bitch more and more.

’As if I don’t know what this bitch is after.’

’She just wants to dual cultivate with my senior brother in a few years.’

A few years might seem like a long time to an ordinary person, but for a Cultivator, it was merely the blink of an eye.

Back at the Wandao Sect, Yu Yunwei had heard that many Foundation Establishment Disciples from Ten Thousand Flowers Peak were deliberately saving their first dual cultivation experience, all of them waiting for that guy Xiao Mo to grow up!

“What’s wrong, Junior Sister Yu? Why so quiet?” Qu Xiaotao asked again, her eyes curving into a smile.

“It’s nothing, Sister Qu.” Yu Yunwei gave a sweet smile. “I was just missing my master and senior brother a little. But the mission ends tomorrow, and we’ll have to part ways. Yun Wei is a little sad about that…”

“Oh, is that it?” Qu Xiaotao ruffled Yu Yunwei’s hair. “Don’t worry. Once we’re back at the Wandao Sect, I’ll come visit you on Blood Sin Peak, how about that?”

“Really? That would be great!” Yu Yunwei nodded vigorously. “My senior brother and I can show Sister Qu around Blood Sin Peak together.”

“Then thank you, Yun Wei.”

Qu Xiaotao smiled happily, chatted with Yu Yunwei for a bit longer, then returned to her spot beside the three male Cultivators and resumed her idle chatter.

Yu Yunwei watched as Qu Xiaotao occasionally let her snow-white arms show, occasionally tugged at her collar, and occasionally tapped one of the men beside her, saying “You’re terrible!” in a coquettish voice.

The more Yu Yunwei watched, the more disgusted she felt.

’Tch! You old cradle robber, take a good look at yourself! My senior brother might be a dog, but even he has better taste than to go for you!’

When Qu Xiaotao wasn’t looking, Yu Yunwei spat on the ground and cursed inwardly.

…

「The next morning.」

Everyone was fired up, planning to collect the last few Demon Cores that morning.

And indeed, the mission went smoothly.

They easily hunted three Seventh-Grade Magical Beasts, a task that took them only four hours in total.

Li Nan took out the Demon Cores to count them. After confirming the number was correct, he said to the others, “The mission is complete. Let’s return to the Wandao Sect and report back.”

“Alright.” Qu Xiaotao nodded and stretched languidly, the form-fitting dress clinging to her soft, graceful figure. “Seven days on Black Cloud Mountain, and not one good night’s sleep.”

“Indeed.”

Yu Yunwei said with a slight smile.

’It’s a shame, though,’ she thought with some regret.

’Why couldn’t these idiots have given me an excuse to kill them?’

Just as the group was about to head back.

Suddenly, Yan Liu crouched down to look at a small plant.

“Brother Yan, what is it?” Qin Hai asked curiously.

“Everyone, take a look.” Yan Liu brushed aside the surrounding blades. “This plant looks ordinary, but its roots are blood-red. My master once told me that there’s a fruit on Black Cloud Mountain called the Red Moon Fruit. When it ripens, it affects its surroundings. The roots of all grass within a one-li radius turn red.”

“Red Moon Fruit?” Qu Xiaotao’s eyes lit up. “I’ve read about that in a book. Isn’t it a great aid for breaking through to the Cave Mansion Realm?”

“Precisely!” Yan Liu nodded.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let’s search the area!” Li Nan’s eyes burned with fervor.

As someone at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, he was the closest to the Cave Mansion Realm, making the Red Moon Fruit especially appealing to him.

“Let’s go, then. But be careful. Heavenly and Earthly Treasures like this are usually guarded by Magical Beasts.”

Yan Liu reminded them.

If not for that reason, he never would have mentioned the Red Moon Fruit in the first place.

After all, the risk of searching for it alone was far too great.

But with the five of them together, it would be much safer.

Besides, a single Red Moon Fruit Tree would bear at least seven fruits.

「For the next four hours.」

Li Nan and the others searched the vicinity relentlessly.

In the afternoon, they pushed aside a thicket of bushes, and their eyes instantly lit up.

Not far from them stood a tree, about thirty feet tall. Amidst its red leaves hung seven Red Moon Fruits!

“Wait, look!”

Qu Xiaotao suddenly shouted, pointing to a spot among the leaves.

In truth, the others had already noticed, even without her shouting.

At the very top of the Red Moon Fruit Tree, there was one Red Moon Fruit that was completely different from the others, emitting an alluring fragrance.
