Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 39: Goodbye Qingcuo

The night was as dark as ink, and the wind howled.

There were no stars or moon in the sky, and the wind and thunder suddenly rose from the ground.

"Swoosh—"

A spirited horse galloped through the wild grass. Due to its extreme speed, only a blur could be seen passing by, making it impossible to clearly see who was riding on it.

Chu Wenruo obediently held onto the reins, with the little princess sitting in front of her. She urged the Profound Heaven horse to charge straight towards the woods.

Sitting behind her was Chen Kuang, who had fallen into a semi-conscious state due to exhaustion.

The borrowed power did not come without a price.

After the massive spiritual energy was drained, the injuries sustained during the battle remained.

Previously, with the support of spiritual energy, he didn't feel much discomfort. But now, Chen Kuang felt a headache all over his body...

From his internal organs to his meridians, there were varying degrees of damage.

Most of them were severe, even fatal.

If it weren't for Chen Kuang's unique constitution and the passive ability of the "Flesh Reishi," he would have died countless times.

"I always feel... that the reason why that woman lent me the 'Heavenly Jade of Divine Inquiry' was to make me explode and die," Chen Kuang thought hazily in his mind.

"First, it was breaking through the Black Armor Army, and now it's this 'Heavenly Jade of Divine Inquiry.'"

"Dealing with this woman, every step that seems like a retreat or help could actually be a trap. It's really hard to guard against..."

However, in the end, he still came out on top.

The 'Heavenly Jade of Divine Inquiry' provided such a large amount of spiritual energy that if it were an ordinary Aperture Opening Realm cultivator, there would be a chance of exploding and dying.

But because Chen Kuang used the Mud Embryo Golden Sculpture Technique to stack five layers of strength and temporarily comprehended the third phase, he directly poured out all the massive spiritual energy, turning the misfortune into a blessing.

And by sparing Chen Kuang for the sake of saving the world, Shen Xingzhu deepened the crack in her Dao heart for the second time.

Because since she had decided to kill Chen Kuang, she must have been prepared to deceive her own Dao heart again. But in the end, she not only failed to kill him, but was forced to spare Chen Kuang, who had clearly made a mistake.

The first time was the desire to kill but not being able to.

The second time was sparing when she shouldn't have.

One mistake on top of another.

From now on, would Chen Kuang become the nightmare of this lofty and aloof fairy?

Chen Kuang curled up his lips, about to laugh, but suddenly felt a tickle in his throat and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

Chu Wenruo heard the movement and hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, your injuries are severe. Don't move around. Hold onto me, we'll be in the woods soon!"

To prevent Chen Kuang from slipping off, she had to take the initiative to pull his hand to her waist, letting him embrace her.

This posture was extremely ambiguous, with Chen Kuang practically pressed against her.

But the situation was urgent, and Chu Wenruo didn't have the time to think too much.

She had never ridden a horse before, although the Profound Heaven horse was well-trained and highly intelligent, only needing to control the direction.

But at such a fast speed, she naturally felt extremely nervous.

Afraid that they might fall off with a slight mishap.

Chen Kuang rested his chin on her shoulder, intending to use the first phase to adjust himself, but found that his spiritual energy was completely depleted and couldn't be squeezed out at all.

Now, he could only rely on the passive "Embryonic Breathing Technique" to slowly recover.

However, the pleasant surprise was that the acupoints in his body had already opened up to the third acupoint!

The dangers of this night and the repeated washing of massive spiritual energy in his body had actually allowed him to advance three small realms in a row.

It could be called lightning-fast progress.

But Chen Kuang felt that it would be better to have a little less cultivation achieved at the cost of his life.

Just let him quietly stay in a corner, silently accumulate passively until he reached full capacity, wouldn't that be better?

Chen Kuang sighed.

But since he had successfully escaped from the cage, it shouldn't be long before he could live such a life...

Chen Kuang relaxed in his heart, and his attention shifted. The thin clothes in his hands felt slightly warm against his skin, causing his mind to wander.

A slender waist, a gentle grip.

He couldn't help but adjust his posture slightly to make himself more comfortable.

It must be said that a life of luxury in the deep palace does indeed nourish a person. Even after suffering in prison for a month, it didn't affect the plump and smooth texture of Liang Kingdom's Queen, without a single rough edge.

Holding her was like holding an exceptionally comfortable pillow.

But unfortunately, he didn't get to enjoy it for long.

The small bucket of slops quietly whispered, "Mother, can you make him let go? It's pressing against my butt!"

But at such a close distance, the level of secrecy is limited.

Chen Kuang: "......"

I advise you, this bucket of slops, not to meddle in other people's business!

He was originally thin, with clearly visible bones in his hands that played the piano, and calluses from doing rough work.

—— The Aperture Opening Realm has not yet reached the stage of rebirth, and it is only in the Innate Realm that one can cleanse the tendons and marrow and change the physical body.

With such rough hands, they were wrapped around Chu Wenruo's waist, pressing against the delicate butt of the little princess sitting in front.

Chu Wenruo naturally couldn't let go of Chen Kuang. The latter is currently seriously injured, and letting go would probably cause him to fall off the horse.

She could only whisper, "Ying'er, be good, endure for now. Mr. Chen is injured and can't move..."

"Mother is so stupid."

The small bucket of slops looked down on its own mother's intelligence and then cleverly suggested, "Just let him grab somewhere else."

Chu Wenruo was taken aback, "Where... where should he grab?"

The small bucket of slops thought for a moment, raised its hand, and pointed with two fingers upwards, solemnly commenting, "Here is a good place to grab!"

Chu Wenruo's face turned red in an instant and she panicked, "No! What nonsense is this? How can... how can he grab there! Where did you learn such bad things, child!"

She tried to stop her daughter's mischievous behavior.

But because she was holding the reins, she had to lean forward and try to press her daughter's hand down.

The small bucket of slops started crying out, "Mother, you're pinching my hand! It's so heavy!"

Chen Kuang's expression was extremely amusing.

He silently apologized to the small bucket of slops for his ignorant remarks just now.

Wow, I misunderstood you. Such awareness at such a young age, your future is limitless...

Amidst the commotion, a spirited horse galloped into the woods.

The already dark night grew even darker, with branches and leaves passing by on both sides, and a damp chill from the forest filled the air.

Chen Kuang immediately felt a chill down his spine, a bone-chilling coldness behind him.

No... this wasn't caused by the cold air in the forest.

Chen Kuang's pupils contracted—

It was an "Impulsive Premonition"!

Danger!

"Get down!"

Chen Kuang shouted, activating the meager spiritual energy that had just recovered a bit, and squeezed the horse's belly with his legs.

Chu Wenruo quickly obeyed and lay down, while the Profound Heaven horse accelerated rapidly.

At the same time, several cold lights shot out from the forest.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh—"

They were actually several iron plates, carrying a sharp gust of wind as they attacked, grazing the horse's body and leaving behind a few bloodstains.

The Profound Heaven horse let out a few painful cries.

Several figures approached aggressively, all dressed in white, with cultivation levels around the Innate stage, and holding swords in their hands. One of them was manipulating the iron plates.

Chen Kuang's heart tightened. It didn't look like the Black Armor Guards; they should be people from the Three Tribulations Sect!

In his current exhausted state, relying solely on the Profound Heaven horse to escape...

It was wishful thinking.

"Swoosh—"

Before Chen Kuang could calm down, those iron plates suddenly spun in mid-air, changed direction, and attacked again.

The injured Profound Heaven horse had nowhere to hide.

Just at that moment, a figure in green shot out like lightning, wielding a long sword, and blocked the iron plates with a series of "clang clang clang" sounds.

Then, the green figure leaped onto the horse, grabbing hold of Chen Kuang and the others, and once again displayed a ghostly agility.

In an instant, they disappeared into the forest.

Chen Kuang felt his head spinning and when he focused his gaze on the person carrying him, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Qingcuo?!"

Cough cough, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday...
