Chapter 229 The Greasy Man in the Immortal Cultivation World
Chapter 229 The Greasy Man in the Immortal Cultivation World
After dealing with the leader of the men in black, Qin Chu and Shen Yue found a relatively safe corner in the cave to sit down and rest.
As soon as Qin Chu opened his mouth to call out "Yuer", Shen Yue suddenly raised her head and interrupted with an unhappy look on her face, "Don't call me Yueer, it's so ugly.
Also, you and I are just casual acquaintances, there is no need to address each other in such a friendly manner."
Qin Chu was a little confused by this sudden rejection, and a trace of hurt appeared on his face, but he quickly recovered his cynical look and said with a smile: "Why? We just experienced life and death together, and this doesn't count as a deep friendship?"
Shen Yue stood up, dusted himself off, and said coldly, "So what? In this world of immortal cultivation, who can guarantee that they will be alive the next moment? You saved me today, and I am grateful, but that's all."
In fact, Shen Yue was also very conflicted. She knew that Qin Chu's feelings for her were gradually deepening, and she was not completely without feelings for him either. It was just that she had not yet fully adapted to this world, and was not sure how far this relationship could go, and she was afraid of being trapped in it.
Qin Chu looked at Shen Yue, his eyes revealing a hint of stubbornness: "Okay, since you said so, then I will do as you say. But, Ah Yue, don't underestimate me, Qin Chu. If I have chosen someone, even if we just met by chance, I will slowly change your mind."
He deliberately emphasized the word "Ayue", as if he was declaring some kind of sovereignty.
When Shen Yue heard the name "Ayue", her heart was slightly moved, but she still pretended to be calm and said: "Call me whatever you want, but don't be too excessive."
At this time, an eerie sound of wind came from outside the cave, mixed with some strange noises, as if some unknown danger was approaching.
Qin Chu immediately stopped smiling and looked serious: "No matter what, let's leave here first. This place is not safe."
Qin Chu and Shen Yue were carefully searching for a way out deep into the cave, when suddenly, Qin Chu keenly sensed a dangerous aura.
He stopped instantly, protected Shen Yue behind him, and looked around vigilantly.
I saw a huge monster slowly walking out of the shadow of the cave. It was shaped like a tiger, surrounded by black mist. Its pair of dark green eyes flashed fiercely in the darkness, staring at them fiercely.
Shen Yue was startled and subconsciously grabbed the corner of Qin Chu's clothes.
Qin Chu whispered to Shen Yue: "Don't be afraid, Yue, I will protect you."
After saying that, he slowly drew out the long sword from his waist, and his spiritual power circulated, and a faint blue light appeared on the sword.
The monster seemed to be angered by Qin Chu's actions. It let out a deafening roar and pounced towards them.
Qin Chu's eyes focused, and he stepped forward, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy slashed towards the monster.
The monster flashed and easily avoided the attack, then opened its bloody mouth again and spewed out a black flame.
Qin Chu quickly dodged to the side, the flame brushed past the corner of his clothes and burned a piece of his sleeve.
Shen Yue became anxious upon seeing this. Although her cultivation of magic skills was still rudimentary, she was unwilling to sit and wait for death.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and tried to mobilize the spiritual power in her body.
Suddenly, she felt a force surging at her fingertips. She opened her eyes, pushed her hands forward, and a faint ice-blue light shot towards the monster.
Although this attack caused minimal damage to the monster, it did distract its attention slightly.
Qin Chu took the opportunity to move forward, stabbing out with the sword in his hand repeatedly, sword flowers flashing, and each sword stabbed at the vital point of the monster.
The monster kept waving its claws to resist, and for a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
However, the long battle gradually consumed Qin Chu's spiritual power, and his movements began to become slow.
The monster seemed to sense his fatigue, and when it saw the right opportunity, it slapped Qin Chu with its claws. Qin Chu was unable to dodge, and a deep wound was cut on his arm, and the blood instantly dyed his sleeves red.
Shen Yue exclaimed, "Qin Chu!" She rushed forward regardless of everything, stood in front of Qin Chu, and looked at the monster with firm eyes. Although her legs were trembling slightly, she had no intention of retreating.
Perhaps frightened by Shen Yue's actions, the monster stopped attacking and looked at them with its head tilted.
Qin Chu struggled to stand up, pulled Shen Yue behind him, and said through gritted teeth: "Ayue, hurry up, I'll hold it back."
Shen Yue shook his head: "No, I won't abandon you."
At this moment, Shen Yue suddenly remembered that he had seen a record about this monster in an ancient book. It seemed that it was very sensitive to a certain kind of music.
Shen Yue looked around and found some scattered stones on the ground. She had an idea and picked up the stones and started knocking them in a certain rhythm.
At first, the monster just looked at her with some confusion, but as the knocking sounds gradually formed a rhythm, the monster seemed to become a little agitated and restless. It began to pace on the spot, and the fierce light in its eyes gradually weakened.
Seeing this, Qin Chu understood Shen Yue's intention. He endured the pain, followed Shen Yue's rhythm, and used his spiritual power to emit some weak sound waves, which echoed with Shen Yue's knocking sounds.
With the joint efforts of the two, the monster finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around and fled from the cave.
Qin Chu and Shen Yue breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. Shen Yue quickly tore off the corner of his clothes and bandaged Qin Chu's wound, his eyes full of concern: "How are you? Is it still painful?"
Qin Chu looked at Shen Yue with a smile on his face: "With you here, this injury is nothing."
Qin Chu and Shen Yue collapsed to the ground just as they recovered from the thrilling confrontation with the monster.
Shen Yue was bandaging Qin Chu's wound while frowning and said unhappily, "You, stop being so slick, you're so greasy. You just said those cheesy words, but you didn't even notice what time it was."
Qin Chu looked aggrieved, but still forced himself to joke, "Ayue, I am expressing my true feelings, how come it is considered greasy? In this dangerous place, I just want to give you some comfort and make you feel at ease."
Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him, and her hands became heavier: "Humph, you have so many excuses, and you always use those sweet words. I won't fall for it. The most important thing for us now is to find a way to leave this cave and find a safe place, instead of listening to you say some meaningless love words here."
Qin Chu gasped in pain, but he still kept talking: "Ouch, Ah Yue, be gentle, I got hurt to protect you, and you despise me. Forget it, I won't say anything, but you can't deny that if I hadn't fought hard in the front, we would have both become the monster's meal."
Shen Yue stood up and dusted himself off: "Yes, you have done a great job this time, but that can't cover up your bad habit of talking nonsense. Let's go quickly, who knows what danger may pop up soon."
