Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Luo Feng hid behind Nie Shuangshuang, cautiously observing Nie Shuangshuang. After discovering that Nie Shuangshuang was simply resting with her eyes closed and didn’t react to her approach, Luo Feng finally relaxed.

Zhu Zhen noticed Luo Feng hiding behind Nie Shuangshuang and, somewhat wary of Nie Shuangshuang himself, sighed helplessly. He spread his hands with a wry smile to the three male cultivator companions beside him, giving up on explaining to Luo Feng.

The three male cultivators also looked a bit awkward. Perhaps they felt that since everyone was a companion, it wasn’t good to make things too tense, so they came over to mediate, trying to persuade Luo Feng.

”Luo Feng, we’ve been companions for so long. You know what kind of person Brother Zhu is. Look at Brother Zhu now; he doesn’t seem possessed by ghost demons at all.”

”Exactly, we’re all friends here. We’ve gone through life and death in this hellish place so many times together. It’s not good for us not to be able to remain friends just because of a little suspicion.”

”See, Brother Zhu’s actions are just like before. While ghost demons can possess someone, they can’t imitate a person’s actions and habits.

Brother Zhu recognizes all of us and knows about our past interactions. His actions are familiar to us; he can’t possibly be possessed by ghost demons. What is there to doubt? Just stop making wild guesses.”

The three tried to persuade Luo Feng, each saying their part, but Luo Feng stuck firmly to her belief, remaining silent and staying beside Nie Shuangshuang.

Seeing that Luo Feng remained unmoved despite their efforts, and afraid of angering Nie Shuangshuang by disturbing her too much, the three had no choice but to retreat helplessly.

Despite their retreat, there was a tinge of discontent on their faces. While surrounding Zhu Zhen, they couldn’t help but complain about Luo Feng being too stubborn and overly suspicious.

Zhu Zhen, however, appeared calm and composed, even reversing the situation by comforting his three companions. This not only increased their favorable opinion of Zhu Zhen but also deepened their discontent with Luo Feng.

Luo Feng, unconcerned with all this, hid completely behind Nie Shuangshuang, waiting a while before cautiously peeking her head out to look towards Zhu Zhen.

As soon as her gaze landed there, she met Zhu Zhen’s deep black eyes, as if he had been watching her all along. When he saw Luo Feng look over, he even gave her a resigned smile.

Zhu Zhen’s smile seemed perfectly ordinary, but Luo Feng couldn’t help but shiver, quickly shrinking back as her heart felt like it was about to leap out of her chest.

She looked towards Nie Shuangshuang, then edged closer and whispered as softly as if murmuring, ”Senior, that Zhu Zhen wants to kill me. I can feel it. Senior, I’m scared.”

Luo Feng was grasping at straws in her fear. She truly felt a deep-seated fear towards Zhu Zhen and instinctively sought protection from Nie Shuangshuang, who seemed incredibly powerful to her.

Nie Shuangshuang opened her eyes, looking expressionlessly at Luo Feng, who seemed desperate to shrink into a ball and completely shield herself behind, and then glanced back at Zhu Zhen.

The latter was talking to his three male cultivator companions. Nie Shuangshuang quietly turned back, feeling that Luo Feng’s words were very likely true.

Others might not have felt it, but Nie Shuangshuang did. She did indeed sense an extremely subtle murderous intent emanating from Zhu Zhen earlier.

Moreover, it wasn’t just she who sensed this tiny murderous intent. Nie Shuangshuang lowered her head to look at Ruoyang in her arms, who had been coiled up asleep, only to find Ruoyang now poking out his furry little head.

Its furry, semicircular ears had turned into ”airplane ears,” its eyes fixed on the direction where Zhu Zhen stood. The black pupils quickly expanded from fine lines to large black circles.

Ruoyang was awakened by Zhu Zhen’s murderous intent. Demon beasts are always the most sensitive to murderous intent because it’s their innate survival instinct; their perception of malicious intent is far superior to that of humans.

Ruoyang’s reactions confirmed to Nie Shuangshuang that she hadn’t sensed wrong. Frowning, she pondered why Zhu Zhen would have murderous intentions toward Luo Feng.

Was it because Luo Feng’s words threatened him? Had he truly returned from the dead? Clearly, there was no sign of him being possessed by ghost demons, so why was he so concerned with Luo Feng’s words and even harbor murderous intentions?

Regardless, Luo Feng was indeed in danger. Her cultivation was only at the late-stage Divine Division, definitely no match for Zhu Zhen at the Out-of-Body Stage.

After thinking for a moment, Nie Shuangshuang said to Luo Feng, hiding behind her, ”If you’re really that scared, just follow me later.”

Luo Feng’s eyes lit up, and she immediately expressed her endless gratitude to Nie Shuangshuang, ”Thank you, Senior. Don’t worry, Senior; I promise I won’t cause you any trouble.”

Nie Shuangshuang said no more, gently stroking Ruoyang, who, after feeling her soothing touch, relaxed, rubbed against her hand, yawned, and nestled back into her embrace to sleep.

Cats like to sleep for ten of twelve hours in a day to feel comfortable. Ruoyang had been busy helping Nie Shuangshuang find people the past two days without rest and now that he had an hour to rest, he intended to sleep soundly for as much as he could.

Everyone focused on recovering their Spiritual Energy using Spirit Stones. Nobody spoke, and the courtyard fell quiet.

Later, another group of cultivators arrived at the rest area. Anyone who had ventured this deep was a great cultivator; otherwise, they wouldn’t have made it here.

Xu Fengsheng eagerly approached for conversation, first handing out Elixirs to build rapport, then taking out a Memory Stone to ask if anyone had seen his disciple, Guo Mingxin.

Receiving Xu Fengsheng’s Elixirs, everyone earnestly recalled and reflected for a long time, but unfortunately, nobody had seen Guo Mingxin, and Xu Fengsheng sighed, sitting down to continue daydreaming.

An hour quickly passed, and everyone who was ready was transported away. However, Luo Feng and Zhu Zhen, along with the three male cultivators who weren’t due to leave yet, also exited the rest area.

The three male cultivators were accompanying Zhu Zhen, while Zhu Zhen expressed his willingness to help his companions find Xu Fengsheng’s disciple. As for Luo Feng, she simply wanted to stay close to Nie Shuangshuang.

Xu Fengsheng, worried about not having enough people to search, was more than happy to have Zhu Zhen and his companions help, immediately offering a pile of top-grade Spirit Stones and Elixirs as thanks.

Xu Fengsheng’s generosity instantly transformed the hesitant companions of Zhu Zhen into enthusiastic helpers, dramatically changing their attitudes as if they had donned new masks.

They believed that if they really helped find Xu Fengsheng’s disciple, they would undoubtedly receive a grand reward, including Spirit Stones and Elixirs, which would be far more profitable than looking for Soul Cleansing Stones.

However, seeing that Zhu Zhen intended to travel with Nie Shuangshuang’s group, Luo Feng, who had originally heaved a sigh of relief at the thought they were parting, instantly became nervous again. She believed Zhu Zhen’s motive was still to kill her.

Fear once again sent goosebumps along Luo Feng’s body. She still didn’t know precisely why Zhu Zhen terrified her so; she wasn’t a coward by nature, nor was she unfamiliar with encountering enemies more powerful than her.
