Time flew past cultivation. Leng Wuxin and the others had been cultivating in the pit for three months. However, on the outside, the Forbidden Ground of Elder God was in chaos.
The activation of ancient Inhibition Formation brought drastic change to the Forbidden Ground of Elder God. New secret areas appeared and many hidden treasures emerged. Many families were looking for them like crazy. Some disciples of other major families had already acquired four Quasi Relics.
In addition, there were a huge amount of secret skills and elixirs. The Forbidden Ground of Elder God was in itself a vault of valuable collections. The acquisition of treasure depended on each team’s luck.
Young disciples from the major universes were all here and they were accompanied by Earth Immortal Realm warriors. Those young disciples were no longer in the mood to cultivate. They had their mind set on treasure hunting.
Everyone believed that Relic weapons and armors would emerge. If those were obtained, it would be more worthwhile than learning a ninth rank Profound Meaning.
Many disciples were running out, looking for newly-appeared secret areas. Someone had stepped past the pit Lu Li was in. However, since psychic power was cut off, the haze was thick, and the turf covered up the opening well. Up till now, nobody had realized the pit was there.
One day, Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi decided to come out again. It was not for nature’s calls but for a bath!
When warriors reached a certain realm, they could replenish their strength by taking energy pellets. When they ate, they had high-energy food with practically no foreign matters. Therefore, they didn’t need to go to the restroom much.
But taking baths was another story!
Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi were born in a big family. Since they were kids, they had been paying attention to their looks and personal hygiene. They felt very uncomfortable for not being able to take a bath for such a while. Even though the fact was that there were few rivers and no clean water in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God and the conditions were poor, the two found it unacceptable that they couldn’t take a bath.
They stayed not far away from the pit. They located a woods nearby and Leng Wuxin took something out. It was a small white castle with a radius of merely 30 feet. There was only one hall in it. While the castle didn’t have a strong defense, it was suitable for a bath.
Leng Wuxin walked in first while Leng Wumi stayed on guard. This was what they did the last time they came out. They took turns and made sure no outsider would intrude.
Leng Wuxin took a quick bath and changed into an emerald green dress. She dried her hair with Xuan Energy, walked out and said, “Wumi, it’s your turn. I will wait outside.”
Leng Wumi stepped in in a hurry while Leng Wuxin walked around to inspect.
After the time for one incense stick to burn, she suddenly heard a noise coming from afar. Leng Wuxin was shocked. She listened in for a bit and was certain that someone was coming to their direction. She ran to the castle and yelled, “Wumi, come out. Someone is coming!”
Leng Wumi had just undressed and got into the tub. She was scared pale by Leng Wuxin’s words. She put her dress back on without drying her body or wearing underwear and dashed out in that state…
“Whoosh!”
She was fast and Leng Wuxin put away the artifact at once. However, it was too late. They heard four different sounds. Four people had come and they had already seen the two.
Leng Wumi felt very insecure without her underwear on. Her hair was dripping water. She hid behind Leng Wuxin in fright and asked, “Sister Wuxin, what do we do?”
“Stay calm. I will deal with it. Don’t panic!”
Leng Wuxin had collected herself. She stayed on the spot calmly and waited for the arrival of the four people.
Soon, the four came from the haze. The one at the front and the back was an Earth Immortal Realm warrior respectively. Between them stood two young masters.
“Xiao Wanjun? From the Void Universe!”
Leng Wuxin recognized the young master and she felt a bit relieved. She had met this young master before. Void Universe was one of the five smaller universes and they were too weak to challenge the Central Imperial Universe.
Xiao Wanjun was in his twenties. His skin was tanned but he was handsome, easy to be remembered. He had clearly recognized Leng Wuxin as well. He walked over, cupped his fists and said, “Nice to meet you, Lady Wuxin. We have met before. How honored am I to be able to meet Lady Wuxin again in the Forbidden Ground of Elder God.”
Leng Wuxin nodded indifferently and said, “Nice to meet you, Young Master Xiao. This is my sister. Who is this Young Master with you?”
The other Young Master’s eyes had started to glow when he saw Leng Wuxin. He introduced himself, “Lady Wuxin, nice to meet you. I have so much about you but I have never had the chance to meet you. I am from the Void Universe as well. My name is Tao Di.”
“So you are from the Tao Family.”
Leng Wuxin nodded as a reply. Tao Family, same as the Xiao Family, was a super force in the Void Universe. It was not strange that young masters from the two families would treasure hunt together.
“Have you found anything?”
Leng Wuxin engaged in a casual pleasantry. Leng Wumi was still hiding behind her and her only response was a shy smile. She had nothing on underneath her dress which was a bit see-through around her chest areas…
“Not much!”
Xiao Wanjun said with a bitter smile, “We have already found a secret area and it had two Quasi Relics but the nutcases from the Mage Imperial Universe snatched them…”
Tao Di took a curious look around and asked, “Why are you two young ladies here without any guards?”
“Are you separated?”
“Well!”
Leng Wumi was extremely embarrassed. Leng Wuxin smiled casually and said, “We have a big team. Wushang and the others are all here and they are hunting for treasures. We two got a little bored so we come to explore.”
Xiao Wanjun and Tao Di were convinced. They had heard of Leng Wushang. The future crown prince of the Leng Dynasty deserved all the attention he could receive.
Xiao Wanjun was a fan of social. He continued, “Lady Wuxin, I have long admired Young Master Wushang. Could you please introduce us?”
Leng Wuxin gave a cold reply, “Now… is not a good time. Leave this area to avoid any possible misunderstanding.”
“Oh?”
Xiao Wanjun and Yao Di looked at each other, feeling surprised. They had heard something else. They believed some valuables might be nearby and Leng Wushang was searching the area.
“Okay, we will go. Lady Wuxin, see you around!”
Xiao Wanjun naturally didn’t have the courage to fight over treasure with the Leng Family. Now that Leng Wuxin had told them to leave, it would be impolite for them to linger. They bowed and left.
“Phew, phew~”
After the four left, Leng Wumi breathed in relief. Her back was drenched. She was very unlucky. The two of them were only out for less than an hour and this happened.
“Do you want to go back to your bath?”
Leng Wuxin asked. Leng Wumi shook her head no. She was no longer in the mood for a bath. What if they ran into someone else? They had no more Earth Immortal Realm warriors to follow them around.
They were fortunate enough to encounter someone from a family of a small universe. The end would been much worse should it be enemies that they met.
Leng Wuxin took the castle out for Leng Wumi to put her underwear on. Then they went back to the pit in a hurry to cultivate.
It was quiet in the pit. Everyone was cultivating. Leng Wumi was still scared but she was afraid to tell Leng Wushang as well. She had to force herself to stop thinking back and began cultivating.
One day had passed and it was still peaceful. Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi felt more at ease. It seemed Xiao Wanjun and Tao Di didn’t have any ill intentions.
Two more days later, they heard some footsteps coming which were wandering around but clearly traveling closer to the pit.
“Something is wrong!”
Leng Wushang, Leng Wuxin, and Leng Buji were alarmed at the same time. They felt they were in a difficult position. Someone was evidently searching the area. Were they coming prepared? In other words—were they coming for them?
Leng Wuxin and Leng Wumi thought of Xiao Wanjun and Tao Di they met a few days ago. Were they the ones who leaked the location? Did some major families really think this area had treasures and now they were coming for this reason?
