Chapter 13: Luo Chuxue
“Two at the early stage of Golden Core, one at the peak of Golden Core. Any one of them could crush you,” Xiao Bai reminded her.
Su Lingxi was still immersed in her joy. Hearing Xiao Bai’s words, she quickly hid to the side and found the disguise technique from the novice gift package.
Five minutes later, a handsome, gentlemanly young man walked out from behind a tree.
“Ah, the feeling of being a man is back again!”
Su Lingxi calmly bound her impressive chest a bit tighter, making it so no flaws could be seen.
All she could say was that it was a good thing this was the Glacial Snow Domain, where everyone wore thick clothes, so nothing could be discerned.
After composing herself, Su Lingxi walked towards the three people. They had obviously already noticed her presence.
But sensing that Su Lingxi was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, they didn’t think much of it.
As she got closer, Su Lingxi saw that the newcomers were two men and one woman.
The woman in the lead was dressed in snow-white clothes. Her figure was slender, and her skin was fair and translucent, as if it would break at a touch, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
Although the other two men followed behind her, their expressions were arrogant, and they didn’t pay Su Lingxi any mind at all.
“Who are you? How dare a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator approach the central part of the Glacial Snow Domain? Don’t you know that sixth-tier demonic beasts might appear here?” one of the men asked Su Lingxi coldly.
Su Lingxi pouted, thinking, Aren’t you just one realm higher than me? A sixth-tier spiritual beast could swat the two of us dead like it was child’s play. And you’re putting on airs here?
Su Lingxi quietly replied, “Just a rogue cultivator.”
Her disdainful gaze was keenly caught by the man. He had never been looked at like this before, and more importantly, it came from some clueless fool.
“A rogue cultivator with such an attitude? I’m afraid you’re so inexperienced you don’t even know where you are.”
“I might as well tell you. This is the territory of the Ice Eagle Beast King, a sixth-tier demonic beast. The only expert nearby who can deal with it is our Snowfall Sect’s Sect Master.”
The other man spoke up. When he mentioned the Snowfall Sect and the Sect Master, his tone clearly rose a notch, obviously believing himself to be of superior birth.
“Snowfall Sect?”
Su Lingxi raised an eyebrow slightly.
“Even as a rogue cultivator, it’s impossible for you not to have heard of our Snowfall Sect. That’s right, we are from the Snowfall Sect,” the man proudly announced his affiliation.
“Lu Zhen, Lu Shui, stand down…” the leading woman said. The two men wanted to say more, but they obediently held their tongues.
It was clear that this woman held the highest status.
The woman slowly stepped forward, her tone gentle. “Young Master, these two junior brothers were a bit offensive in their speech, but they were just offering a well-intentioned reminder.”
“There is no need for you to concern yourself with them.”
“Senior Sister Luo, why are you being so polite to him?” Lu Zhen grumbled from behind. In his eyes, Su Lingxi was just a country bumpkin who knew nothing and was full of himself.
Seeing that the leading woman was polite and good-looking, Su Lingxi didn’t continue to bicker with the two men behind her.
“My name is Luo Chuxue, from the Snowfall Sect. These two are my junior brothers, Lu Zhen and Lu Shui…”
Luo Chuxue gently introduced the two men behind her, but they just snorted coldly and didn’t respond. However, their gazes towards Luo Chuxue carried a trace of infatuation.
This gaze was very familiar to Su Lingxi, just like how his university roommate looked at his goddess.
“Su Lingxi. I don’t belong to any sect,” Su Lingxi said with a casual shrug.
She had just been thinking of using a fake name, but then she felt it was unnecessary.
No one would ever connect the Female Demon Lord of the Demon Realm with this weakling who was only at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Besides, the Su Lingxi of the Demon Realm was long dead.
“Su Lingxi is a beautiful name. It’s very dangerous here. Would you like to travel together?”
Luo Chuxue asked tentatively. This question immediately caused Lu Zhen and Lu Shui behind her to explode.
“Senior Sister, he’s just a weakling at the Foundation Establishment realm. Won’t he just be a burden if we bring him along?”
“That’s right, Senior Sister. We all know you’re kind-hearted, but right now, my senior brother and I don’t want you to bring him along.”
Faced with Lu Zhen and Lu Shui’s strong opposition, Luo Chuxue’s expression became a bit awkward.
In truth, she wasn’t trying to protect Su Lingxi, but had taken a liking to his talent.
Judging by his age, Su Lingxi was at most in his early twenties. Ordinary people awakened their spirit gates at the age of twelve and began to cultivate.
This meant that Su Lingxi had cultivated for seven or eight years and was already at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
Even Luo Chuxue herself was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment around the age of twenty. It was only after some fortuitous encounters that she had cultivated to the peak of Golden Core.
Su Lingxi was already a standout among his peers, so Luo Chuxue was thinking of persuading him to join the Snowfall Sect.
Su Lingxi wasn’t one to be trifled with either. These two men had been making things difficult for him from the start.
Did he think she wouldn’t bring him along just because he said so?
Besides, these people were from the Snowfall Sect, which was a clue given by the system. So, staying with these three should be the right choice.
Su Lingxi’s face took on a sad expression (it was an act). She took two steps back and bowed to Luo Chuxue. “To be able to meet such a gentle fairy is a blessing of three lifetimes. Joining you would indeed be a burden. Perhaps it’s better to forget it.”
Lu Zhen and Lu Shui were stunned, not expecting Su Lingxi to suddenly become so sensible.
Su Lingxi took two steps back and was about to leave. Just then, Luo Chuxue suddenly grabbed the corner of his sleeve as he was leaving. “Ah, Young Master, this place is fraught with danger. You don’t need to pay them any mind. If you wish to leave, it won’t be too late to part ways once we reach a safe place.”
Lu Zhen and Lu Shui: “!!!”
The two looked at each other, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.
Could it be that Senior Sister Luo had taken a fancy to this pretty boy?
It had to be said, the disguise technique had turned Su Lingxi into a handsome and graceful young man.
Good looks were a valuable asset in any world.
The corner of Su Lingxi’s mouth tilted up. Her goal had been achieved, but her expression still seemed reluctant. “Alright then…”
Hearing this, Luo Chuxue was delighted, but then she suddenly realized she was still holding onto Su Lingxi’s sleeve. Her face flushed, and she let go.
“Senior Sister, this…”
Lu Shui and Lu Zhen wanted to say more, but they were silenced by an angry glare from Luo Chuxue.
And so, the group began to travel together.
During their conversation, Luo Chuxue directly stated her purpose for coming here.
“Not long ago, a huge energy fluctuation occurred in the southern part of the Glacial Snow Domain. This energy fluctuation was more like a celestial phenomenon, so the Sect Master ordered us to come and investigate.”
“Young Master, have you seen such a celestial phenomenon during your travels nearby?”
Hearing Luo Chuxue’s words, Su Lingxi fell into recollection.
A celestial phenomenon?
What celestial phenomenon? I haven’t seen any.
“Stop thinking about it. They were probably alerted by the process of you awakening your Exquisite Body.”
Xiao Bai yawned, a hint of sleepiness on her face.
“What? Awakening the Exquisite Body causes a celestial phenomenon?” Su Lingxi’s face was full of disbelief.
“Of course! It’s the Exquisite Body, after all. It’s perfectly normal for there to be a celestial phenomenon.”
“Alright.”
Now that Su Lingxi knew that the celestial phenomenon Luo Chuxue and the others were looking for had originated from her, she couldn’t tell them the truth.
“Yes, I’ve seen it. It’s rumored to be a celestial phenomenon caused by a high-tier spiritual beast breaking through.”
Su Lingxi lied without batting an eye. After all, the settings of this world were still her own creation.
When a spiritual beast broke through to the seventh tier, there would be a celestial phenomenon.
Hearing this, Luo Chuxue nodded and turned to send a sound transmission to Lu Shui and Lu Zhen. “A spiritual beast in the Glacial Snow Domain has entered the seventh tier. Even if it’s just a rumor, we must inform Master as soon as possible!”
Lu Shui and Lu Zhen nodded. When it came to matters concerning the sect, they were still very united.
