My mother is the empress

Chapter 43 Stop it, Xiao Zu

The giant python and rock were getting closer and closer, and the three people were consuming more and more spiritual energy.

Thanks to the elixir that Qin Baiqing had just given her, after Xingzhi recovered her cultivation, the long hairpin-shaped thorns turned into double thorns, and their bodies also became much longer, so she could easily pierce through a row of snake shadows.

Soon, the hairpin in her hand was covered with snake blood and flesh, which aroused the anger of the snakes. They wandered around the three people with their fangs bared.

The closer they got, the larger the giant python and rock appeared in the eyes of the few people, and an ancient aura was evident on it. The reaction of the snakes became more and more intense.

The snakes protected the giant python, and the further they went, the harder it became to move.

When they reached the foot of the rock, they discovered that the so-called Giant Python Mountain was actually a towering stone pillar rising from the ground.

It connects to the Immortal King Mountains above and reaches deep into the mountains below, and has become one with them.

Behind the three of them was a snaking bloody trail, and they were now struggling to catch their breath under the shelter of the stone pillars.

But Feng Budu always stood in front of Qin Baiqing, intentionally or unintentionally, looking at Xingzhi, who was now radiant.

The aura of her martial arts seemed a little...different.

If the skills that Yukiede practiced were originally mediocre, now it has almost made a qualitative leap.

This change is not earth-shaking, but it is precisely this improvement in subtle details that makes it more valuable.

What kind of improvement can make a person's skills improve so significantly?

He observed all the way but couldn't figure it out, so he just withdrew his gaze and thought to himself: Maybe it's the way the technique is, and each realm has some improvement. There are many strange techniques in the world of cultivation, and each realm has its own appearance...

Perhaps her change was simply because her cultivation had returned to the foundation-building stage.

Feng Budu had just persuaded himself to accept this statement, but when he turned around, his eyes suddenly went dark.

"Little ancestor!" He rushed to Qin Baiqing and shouted angrily in a helpless and numb voice, "Don't be in such a hurry to upgrade in front of outsiders!"

He just didn't keep an eye on Qin Baiqing for a few moments, and this little ancestor actually took out a few spiritual fruits from somewhere and ate them all with a crunch!
The momentum of advancement was unstoppable. Feng Budu watched helplessly as she climbed from the fourth level of foundation building to the sixth level...

However, in the time it took to fill her stomach, she completed the arduous competition that would take ordinary cultivators several months or years.

The matter was already settled, and he could only take a deep breath, stand up suddenly, and look at Yukie who had witnessed everything.

"You saw it," he said firmly.

Then, with a flash of inspiration, the sharp sword energy directly pushed aside the two thorns in Yukiji's hand, and the long sword's moves were deadly. "Then prepare to die!"

This person already knows too many secrets. If he stays here, it would be like letting out a loudspeaker, revealing fatal news that could cost Qin Baiqing's life.

The loud speaker Yukieda couldn't dodge in time, and in just a few breaths, she was already wounded several times. She fled under the stone pillar in a panic, "I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything...Ah! Don't kill me!"

She was crushed by Feng Budu under the stone pillar, and finally hid behind Qin Baiqing in despair, even more inferior than when she was dealing with the swarm of snakes.

"I, I really don't know anything. I won't go out and tell anyone. Can you please be reasonable?" Xingzhi wanted to cry but had no tears. She was about to die so she just stood up and cursed Feng Budu: "Are you sick?"

If you refuse to explore the way, you will be killed; if you hear something you shouldn’t hear, you will be killed; and now this little ancestor is advancing carelessly in front of her, is that what she wanted to see on purpose!

"Stop quibbling," Feng Budu snorted coldly, and explained to the bewildered Qin Baiqing, "She knows too many secrets, and she is from the Hehuan Sect. She also trapped us here. There is no need to keep her."

This was the conclusion he came to after observing Xingzhi all the way. "But." Qin Baiqing looked at Xingzhi in confusion, and the whole person was tangled up. After a long while, he puffed up his cheeks and refused: "But she is very useful to me, I can't kill her."

If we kill her, Feng Budu won't be able to fill this useful vacancy. What will we do then?

"What use can she be?" Feng Budu frowned and asked, "We have already arrived at the Giant Python Mountain. I am more than capable of protecting you from now on. Leaving her here will only increase hidden dangers."

Xingzhi hid behind Qin Baiqing trembling, eagerly hoping that she could say something earth-shattering.

However, Qin Baiqing just shook her head, "I don't know either."

In the momentary despair of Xingzhi, Qin Baiqing put his hands on his hips, straightened his back, and said confidently: "It's a handkerchief... My martial arts told me, it won't lie to me!"

...Another technique.

Feng Budu was extremely anxious, he pinched the root of his nose helplessly, and weakly put away his sword, "Little Ancestor, you'd better stop as soon as possible. It's still not too late to destroy it and rebuild it after you get out."

"Another one who said bad things about the handkerchief." Qin Baiqing turned her eyes away in dissatisfaction and merged the Feng Bu Du Yu Kong Kong Bracelet into one category.

They are all people who can't stand their colleagues!
"Xiao, Xiaozu." A weak voice came from behind.

If Xingzhi didn't give something herself, Feng Budu would not feel at ease letting her stay here. After weighing the pros and cons, she finally made up her mind and gritted her teeth to draw out her soul blood.

"This is my soul blood." She looked at Qin Baiqing firmly, "I am willing to hand over my soul blood. From now on, my life will be in your hands. I only ask for your protection."

"Soul blood." Qin Baiqing looked at it in surprise, then looked at Feng Budu and asked silently.

"..."

He was silent for a moment, and finally agreed reluctantly, "Okay, just keep the soul blood. If she dares to have other intentions, just destroy the soul blood."

"Okay, then I accept it."

The soul blood flashed in Qin Baiqing's hand, and her lifeline was pinched in someone's hand, but Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

She did not step away, but bit her lip and asked Qin Baiqing seriously: “There is one more thing I want to ask Xiao Zu for help.

If I want to join the Qingyun Sect, I wonder if you can help me?"

Now Qin Baiqing was a little surprised.

She looked at Yukie's face in confusion, which obviously had an unusual background, and her confusion was self-evident.

I only heard Xingzhi quickly add: "The Hehuan Sect can no longer accommodate me. Besides, my soul and blood are in your hands now. From now on, I just want to follow you. I beg the young master to help me."

She looked sincere, and the determination in her eyes could not be faked.

Just when Qin Baiqing was worried, Feng Budu looked at Xingzhi suspiciously, and asked, "Why do you have to go to Qingyun Sect?"

"Of course it's Xiao Zu who can protect me." Xing Zhi glanced at Qin Baiqing deeply, and this time she looked at Feng Budu with some sarcasm, "Don't pretend that you don't know that Xiao Zu is special. You follow Xiao Zu and protect her wholeheartedly. Your purpose is no different from mine."

"Heh." Feng Budu sneered and raised his eyebrows, unwilling to be outdone.

But before he could finish his words, Qin Baiqing interrupted him by covering his ears, "Stop quarreling!"
