Zhu Xian: Get ten times the talent, the sword opens the gate of heaven

After a while, Little Gray stopped throwing punches, and the earth-shaking roar in the mountains and forests disappeared.

The Taotie lay in the deep pit, its body covered in blood. Its previously ferocious face was now filled with confusion, pain, and numerous wounds.

At this moment, Taotie felt excruciating pain all over his body, lying helplessly in the deep pit, staring blankly at the sky, unable to even move.

Who would have thought that the mangled, bloodied beast before them was the same ferocious, ancient monster they had just witnessed? Where was the overwhelming power it had displayed moments before?

The little gray claws gripped the Taotie's hind leg, their sharp nails piercing into the Taotie's flesh. With one hand dragging the Taotie, it walked towards Zhang Xiaofan.

The Taotie was dragged in front of Zhang Xiaofan, and Xiao Hui's body shimmered with light, transforming into its normal appearance.

With a light leap, she landed on Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder, grinned, and a melodious female voice rang out:

"Master, I dealt with the Taotie for you. Aren't I amazing?"

Hearing Xiao Hui's words, Zhang Xiaofan reached out and ruffled Xiao Hui's hair, praising it:

"Amazing, Little Gray is getting more and more amazing."

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Lin Jingyu's soft "hmm" rang out.

Zhang Xiaofan looked over and saw Linglong's tightly closed eyes suddenly tremble.

The next moment, she slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were clear and bright, like water, and she already looked holy. When she opened those clear, beautiful eyes, she appeared even more holy, like the most holy fairy in the sky.

As soon as Linglong opened her eyes, her gaze locked onto Zhang Xiaofan. Her graceful and alluring body moved, and she slowly floated to a meter in front of Zhang Xiaofan, cupping her hands in a slight bow and saying:
"Linglong is here to thank Young Master Zhang for saving my life."

Looking at Linglong's beautiful face, Zhang Xiaofan wanted to say, "No need to thank me. You're so beautiful, you don't need to thank me at all. You can just repay me with your body."

However, if he were to say this directly, it would definitely damage his image.

"Ahem!" He then coughed lightly twice to clear his throat and said:

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, not to mention that you and I are very destined to meet. Saving you is just a small favor, so don't be shy."

Upon hearing this, Linglong smiled and said:

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. However, if you ever need anything in the future, Linglong will definitely help you."

Lin Jingyu gazed at Linglong, who resembled the most sacred fairy in heaven, and said with a look of infatuation:

"Hello, my name is Lin Jingyu. I am Zhang Xiaofan's brother, his only brother. It's nice to meet you."

Lin Jingyu was very clever and realized that Zhang Xiaofan had done Linglong a favor, so he directly invoked Zhang Xiaofan's name.

Upon hearing this, Linglong remembered that Lin Jingyu was indeed Zhang Xiaofan's brother, so she looked at Lin Jingyu and replied calmly:
"Ah."

After giving a soft "hmm," he shifted his gaze to Zhang Xiaofan.

Lin Jingyu was taken aback upon seeing this:
Ok?
Is a simple "hmm" all that's needed?

No, this is the fairy of his dreams he fell in love with at first sight; he has to say a few more words.

So Lin Jingyu straightened his chest, adjusted his blue robe, and said again:
"Miss Linglong, you've just woken up, so you must be unfamiliar with everything around you. As Zhang Xiaofan's brother, I can lend you a hand. I'll take you sightseeing from here on out, how does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, Linglong glanced at Lin Jingyu expressionlessly, instantly understanding the implication behind his words.

She knew she was beautiful, but there wasn't a single person like Lin Jingyu who would pursue her so madly after just one meeting.

Because she used to be a witch or saintess, with a very high status and unfathomable witchcraft, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of her.

Thinking of the close relationship between Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, Linglong replied again:

“I’m old enough to be your great-grandmother, I don’t need you to take me traveling.”

"Hey!" Lin Jingyu could tell that Linglong didn't want to get entangled with him any longer, but he also knew that if he didn't persist, it would be difficult to see Linglong again in the future. So, Lin Jingyu shamelessly said again:
"Fairy Linglong, I sincerely want to help you and take you sightseeing. What do you think?"

Seeing Lin Jingyu's behavior, Xiao Yicai thought to himself that although Junior Brother Lin usually seemed cold and aloof and didn't like to talk much, he had a certain arrogance in his heart.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't move when faced with the shrine maiden Reirō.

Just like Lu Xueqi, most of the younger generation in the entire Qingyun Sect secretly admired her.

However, Lu Xueqi was always cold and aloof, making her seem unapproachable.

However, even Lu Xueqi, the unattainable pride of the emperor in the eyes of the Qingyun disciples, lost her coldness when facing Zhang Xiaofan, and instead became all smiles and devoted to him...

Linglong watched Lin Jingyu continue to pester her and knew that he wouldn't give up unless she refused him firmly.

So, he turned his gaze to Zhang Xiaofan and asked:

"He's your brother, can I beat him up?"

"Of course, as long as you don't beat them to death." Zhang Xiaofan said calmly, then gave Lin Jingyu a "good luck" look.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu glared at Zhang Xiaofan and said:

"Not only do you not help your brother, but you also kick him when he's down. Once my cultivation surpasses yours, I'll definitely give you a good beating."

Zhang Xiaofan looked Lin Jingyu up and down, then shook his head and said:

"Surpass me? You'll never have that chance in your entire life."

Just as Lin Jingyu was about to retort, he suddenly felt an immense sense of oppression envelop his entire body, rendering him almost unable to move.

Moreover, the source of this oppressive feeling is Linglong.

So Lin Jingyu smiled and said:
"Fairy Linglong, I am Zhang Xiaofan's brother, don't joke around."

"I'm not joking, I'm serious about dealing with you." After saying that, the witch Linglong fixed her gaze on Lin Jingyu, her two snow-white jade hands forming a hand seal, her alluring red lips slightly parted, and she chanted incantations.

The next moment, a beam of light shot from between his hands toward Lin Jingyu's body.

The next moment, Lin Jingyu felt a chill on his body, as if something was missing.

Suddenly, Lin Jingyu seemed to realize something, his face paled, and he carefully sensed and confirmed it.

"what………"

Suddenly, Lin Jingyu roared to the sky in pain.

After the roar, Lin Jingyu looked at Linglong, his attitude completely lacking the confidence and determination he had shown earlier. Instead, he spoke with utmost sincerity:
"Fairy Linglong, please don't confiscate my tools. I'm a man, how can I live without them?"

"What?" Zhang Xiaofan's interest was instantly piqued, his gaze fixed on Lin Jingyu, and he smiled:

"Jingyu, you... are gone?"

Lin Jingyu, who had been struggling to hold on, seemed to find solace in Zhang Xiaofan's words and said:
"Xiao Fan, he's gone. He just disappeared all of a sudden. I don't know what kind of strange magic Fairy Linglong used."

"Please beg Linglong to change me back."

"Haha...haha..." Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu frowned and said:

"What are you laughing at? Is it that funny?"

"Haha...haha..." Zhang Xiaofan laughed, clutching his stomach, and said, "Yeah, it's very funny."
