Chapter 40: Grudges Must Be Set Aside

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Grudges Must Be Set Aside

His room was very tidy, clean... Pah! Chen Shixian, what are you thinking? Is any of this your business?

Her cheeks were as red as an apple, burning hot, and she could no longer stay. Chen Pingping could be shameless, but she could not.

However, by the next day, when she came here again, she had mustered a lot more courage, remaining calm no matter how Chen Pingping teased her. Only her heart was tumultuous.

「The third day.」

Finally, her facial expression and heart were in sync, and she was unaffected by Chen Pingping’s teasing. She even took the initiative to get on the bed. "Do you dare sleep with me?"

What kind of nonsense is this? Chen Pingping’s face darkened.

She added, "I am the Divine Body, and the entire Yuan Martial Academy stands behind me."

Chen Pingping was silent. Arrogant! He didn’t say another word and was about to leave the room.

She shouted, "Where are you going?"

"To sleep in the cowshed, together?" Chen Pingping said irritably.

"You come back...""

「The fourth day.」

Chen Pingping spat blood. "Look, girl, can you stop messing with me?"

She couldn’t be slept with, beaten, and she couldn’t be driven away either. So, who is the shameless one?

Chen Shixian smiled. "You sleep on your own." She seemed to have found a method.

As long as she kept watch day after day, Chen Pingping would eventually slip up. She was certain of it.

However, months passed, and Chen Pingping really did nothing but sleep. He never cultivated and even snored on several nights.

She was dumbfounded. Have you ever seen a cultivator who sleeps all the time? This is a downright blasphemy of ’cultivation,’ right?

Moreover, cultivators are not supposed to be afraid of sleepiness. This meant that even if they didn’t sleep for years on end, it would be fine.

Sleeping was undoubtedly a waste of time. Could it be that he’s faking it?

Chen Shixian started to doubt and continued to stand guard.

Over time, rumors about the Divine Body and Chen Pingping sleeping together spread throughout the Wuji Sect, shocking everyone. "No way, right? No way, right?"

After Chen Shixian received the news, her face turned red in an instant, and she quickly explained, "It’s a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding!"

After that night, she never visited Chen Pingping’s room again.

「Elsewhere.」

Guang Xiaoyu’s cleansing by the Spirit Vein was successful, and she underwent a complete transformation. Her features became even more attractive, and her stature grew significantly. Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her skin was like snow.

When she smiled, it was as if a hundred flowers were blooming. Her realm advanced to the ninth level of the Destiny Stage, and the fluctuations of Qi inside her body became even more profound.

Leading Lao Huang, the old yellow ox, she began her journey back.

SHRIEK!

A long cry came from afar as a huge Demon Bird sped toward them.

Soon, it approached Guang Xiaoyu. Atop the Demon Bird stood a graceful and handsome man. He observed Guang Xiaoyu for a moment and spoke lightly, "Are you the leader of the Stone Country and Wuji Sect delegation?"

Guang Xiaoyu remained silent.

"Interesting. The team leader is just a cultivator at the Destiny Stage. It seems both families are in decline," said Bai Yunfei.

???

"Senior brother, why don’t we just kill her?" A woman’s voice came from behind him.

"No rush. Killing such a low-level cultivator is no fun. We can still play with her when she enters the Wasteland," Bai Yunfei said. He waved his hand, and the Demon Bird turned and left.

Low-level cultivator? Guang Xiaoyu was furious, shouting, "You come back here!"

How dare he call me, this Empress, a low-level cultivator?

She decided that once she entered the Wasteland, she would make that guy regret it.

「Soon!」

On a small muddy path, a girl in purple clothes blocked Guang Xiaoyu’s way. She asked in surprise, "Isn’t Chen Shixian the team leader?"

Guang Xiaoyu remained silent. Another one.

Guang Xiaoyu stared at her. "Who are you?"

"I’m Zi Yan from the Saint Tao family," the girl said with a light laugh. "I thought the team leader was Chen Shixian, so I came to say hello. I didn’t expect... it would be you."

"What’s wrong with me?"

"You’re not up to it!"

Guang Xiaoyu angrily retorted, "Is having a Divine Body that impressive?"

Zi Yan said, "The living environment in the Wasteland is terrifying. Many places with great opportunities can only be found by those with a Divine Body. If she’s not the team leader, then it’s truly regrettable."

If you think I’m not strong enough, just say so!

Guang Xiaoyu snorted coldly. "I can find them just as well. I’m not inferior to any Divine Body."

Zi Yan smiled and said nothing.

Time drew closer. Only a little more than three months remained until the opening of the Wasteland.

The Divine Body left the Wuji Sect and returned to the Yuan Martial Academy.

The Wuji Sect was also making preparations. Baili Jiansan brought over a large amount of materials and said solemnly, "Only by understanding the Wasteland can we better survive in it and find great opportunities."

Chen Pingping nodded in agreement, but Guang Xiaoyu was unconvinced until he rapped her on the head. "Take this seriously."

"Firstly, the Wasteland is an Ancient Battlefield, a place involving a war of gods. It was originally known as the Initial Realm and later renamed Desolation. In essence, it’s also a great world," Baili Jiansan explained.

It can also be understood as a primitive world, just like the current Heaven Martial continent.

However, due to that terrible war, the Wasteland gradually collapsed. Life there reached its end, and its internal space evolved under extremely harsh conditions.

Over time, the Wasteland evolved on its own, giving birth to many great opportunities and many terrifying creatures, among other things. It’s home to some powerful races and huge, fierce beasts that blot out the sky.

The Wasteland opens every three hundred years, primarily because the Power of Sealing weakens.

The ancestors of the Heaven Martial continent worked together to lay down seals and barriers, blocking the passage between the Wasteland and the Heaven Martial continent. If not for that, the appearance of those terrifying creatures on this continent would be a disaster.

That’s what led to the subsequent events. Because the weak points in the Power of Sealing are restricted, the number of entry spots is also limited.

Baili Jiansan continued, "The living environment inside is terrifying, unlike anything you can imagine. Therefore, you need to stick together and move as one. Avoid any internal rifts. Xiaoyu, you’re the team leader. Can you manage that?"

Guang Xiaoyu nodded. "No problem."

"Beware of the young talents from the Dayu Dynasty, Youming Valley, and Saint Tao family. Often, the danger comes from behind you," Baili Jiansan said. "They will attack over opportunities."

Heh! Guang Xiaoyu thought of the two who had provoked her. Once they were in the Wasteland, it remained to be seen who would be attacking whom!

Baili Jiansan looked at her. "You need to set aside your grudges with the Divine Body."

...

He then turned to look at Chen Pingping. "Try not to escalate things with the Divine Body. The Yuan Martial Academy won’t agree to it. You must realize the Divine Body is their life."

Chen Pingping: ???

"What happened?" Guang Xiaoyu was taken aback.

"Oh, it’s nothing. Some time ago, the Divine Body and Chen regularly slept together..." Baili Jiansan suddenly realized he had spoken out of turn. He laughed awkwardly and said, "That’s it! Everything you need to know about the Wasteland is in the books. Just take a look. I just remembered I have something else to attend to..."
