I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Looking at Huang Quan's arrival, a hint of joy flashed in Gu Qici's beautiful eyes, and her fair face, and even her neck, seemed to be tinged with a light pink, but her expression remained calm: "I'm a little late."

Huang Quan explained, "I overslept..."

He didn't know how long Gu Qici had been waiting.

"I see," Gu Qici replied softly.

Then, there was a period of silence.

Inside the cave, amidst the abundant spiritual energy, there seemed to be a faint fragrance belonging to Gu Qici. Moreover, in such a tranquil space, Gu Qici even felt that she could hear her own heartbeat growing increasingly violent.

Looking at the boy in front of her, her heart was filled with excitement and trepidation.

The warm, bright pearl on the stone wall rippled with a soft, intoxicating light, illuminating the girl's figure. It was dreamlike and ethereal. The girl's delicate, bare feet stepped on the slightly cool ground, her exquisite, jade-like toes slightly tense.

Although she had been planning this day for a long time, Gu Qici still couldn't help but feel a little nervous when it came time to actually start, and her full chest rose and fell with her emotions.

As for Huang Quan, shortly after entering the cave, his gaze seemed to wander in some direction.

Although Gu Qici was still wearing the same dark dress as usual, he felt that his junior sister was exuding a different kind of charm today.

The timing and location also made the atmosphere somewhat awkward. After a few seconds, Huang Quan hesitantly spoke, breaking the slightly uncomfortable silence: "Shall we begin now?"

He couldn't waste too much time on Gu Qici's side, since he would need Jiang Wanyu's help afterward.

Gu Qici was still somewhat distracted by some strange thoughts in her mind when she suddenly heard her senior brother's reminder. She snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded.

The girl's cool and pretty face flushed slightly again: "Please come with me, senior brother."

The girl tried to compose herself and spoke softly.

After speaking, Gu Qici led Huang Quan deeper into the cave.

The further Huang Quan went, the more he could feel the chill permeating the entire space. If an ordinary person were to walk in, these few steps would be enough to freeze their blood completely, turning them into an ice sculpture.

However, for Huang Quan, this cold feeling actually invigorated him.

The chill was dispelled as soon as the technique was activated, and what was perceived in return was the rich spiritual energy filling the surroundings.

This made Huang Quan realize that Gu Qici seemed to have made some kind of modification, as if she had artificially created some kind of special treasure land.

Finally, Huang Quan saw the deepest pool of water, emanating a chilling aura. The water was like a deep blue ice crystal mirror, and at the bottom of the pool, there seemed to be a clear, full moon.

The moonlight reflected off the bottom of the water.

This place...

It's outdoors?

Gu Qici calmly walked to the moist pool, raised her delicate foot, and gently stirred the water, creating faint ripples. However, the image of the full moon at the bottom of the pool remained unaffected.

It was a piece of jade, as bright as the moon, inlaid at the bottom of the pool.

"This is the Taiyin Jade Stone, the only valuable item in this puppet clone, and it's what we'll need to... borrow power next..."

The girl's voice completely disappeared by the second half of the sentence, as if it were a murmur in her heart.

Huang Quan naturally didn't hear the few words that Gu Qici swallowed back.

He didn't even notice that a flush, like that of someone drunk, had appeared on the girl's fair skin. Upon seeing the pool of water, the boy felt as if the internal energy cultivation technique within his body had begun to operate automatically.

Clearly, that precious jade was some kind of treasure containing the power of Yin.

If Ah Qi were in her previous life, she would probably be considered a wealthy young woman with a fortune.

Open a bounty

Normally, the release date should be open before or after the product goes on sale...

We hadn't originally planned to open it.

But now there's something very awkward going on.

I can't pay back the money anymore; I'll have to pay back about 2 yuan next month.

I'll add an extra chapter for every 10000 donations or 80 blades (a symbol of financial support), up to the end of this month, with no upper limit. Judging from the readership, I probably won't be able to add many more chapters anyway...

Please send as many razor blades as possible; you only get half of the tips...

The current donation amount is 31584, and the razor blade amount is 354.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Senior Brother, aren't you coming in?

Huang Quan sighed silently in his heart.

After feeling inexplicably ashamed, Gu Qici looked up and noticed that her senior brother's gaze seemed to be completely drawn to the moon-like jade in the pool.

Upon seeing this, a slight hint of annoyance appeared on the girl's usually aloof face.

She even puffed out her cheeks slightly, like a sulking little girl.

Why keep staring at the Taiyin jade?

It's just a broken stone, what kind of tricks can you see in it?

Shouldn't she be the prettier one?

Gu Qici thought to herself, feeling both angry and helpless.

However, the girl quickly suppressed this thought.

There are more important things waiting for her to do right now.

Gu Qici gently bit her rosy lips and began to mobilize the spiritual energy within her body.

The next second, a moon-like light suddenly appeared behind Gu Qici, and amidst the distorted light, Gu Qici's soul power emerged.

In the dim light, it seemed as if a bright moon was rising high.

However, under the bright moonlight, it seemed as if a cold palace was reflected, with countless moonlight radiating from it.

“The Moon of Taiyin is a manifestation of cultivation reaching its peak.” When Gu Qici saw that her senior brother’s attention had returned to her, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Then she spoke softly: "This is an inheritance from me, not as good as the supernatural power that my senior brother has mastered, and it requires extremely yin objects to assist in cultivation."

However, as Gu Qici spoke, she paused slightly, and suddenly, a chill emanated from her, even beginning to freeze the ground beneath the girl's feet.

As she exhaled softly, a thin layer of frost covered the ground.

However, as Gu Qici's spiritual power erupted further, Huang Quan saw that the spiritual power erupting from Gu Qici's soul gradually became sluggish, as if it were also covered with a layer of icy aura.

Seeing this, Gu Qici lowered her gaze and stopped further outputting spiritual power. She continued, "However, although this divine power is powerful, its corresponding drawbacks will also become apparent. The deeper I cultivate, the heavier the burden will be for me, because the chill of this Taiyin power may freeze my soul at any time. If I am not careful, I will be doomed."

"So it's not just about saving people, I also have this need myself."

After Gu Qici finished speaking, she bit her full red lips slightly and looked at Huang Quan with a slightly shimmering gaze.

However, at this moment, because the soul was slightly frozen.

The little dragon's soul, which had been forcibly suppressed, seemed to be showing signs of awakening.

"Because the cold air is constantly eroding and freezing the soul, the frozen soul power can no longer further condense the phenomenon of the Moon of the Taiyin. The stronger the cold air is, the weaker the power that the soul power can use. This creates a vicious cycle, and I am in such a stalemate."

After Gu Qici explained.

Huang Quan fully understood his junior sister's predicament.

He looked at the girl thoughtfully and nodded silently.

Judging from her current condition, what she said is indeed true.

Many powerful techniques have limitations or even negative consequences.

For example, he had heard of a certain martial art that required self-castration to cultivate, and even then, success was not guaranteed.

After observing for a while, Huang Quan quickly realized that Gu Qici's problem was obviously not something that had developed overnight, and he frowned: "Since you encountered this problem, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Gu Qici pursed her lips slightly, her gaze shifting: "But... I don't think it's too late now, is it?"

Gu Qici never revealed any of this to Huang Quan, because she didn't want her senior brother to worry too much.

Moreover, she would naturally not do anything without certainty, and the girl was not truly without other ways to overcome this obstacle.

She's practically regressing as she gets older.

She has mastered at least ten ways to deal with the aftereffects.

There are even more efficient methods than harmonizing yin and yang.

However, that would also lead the girl onto a bloodier path of cultivation.

Or perhaps it's the same path from a past life.

She didn't want to take that path where she could see the end from the beginning.

Moreover, her current strength is still insufficient to reach that level.

It was only because this wisp of soul that was separated was too weak that it happened to enter this state.

They only dared to reveal these problems because they had a pretext.

Of course, the truth will remain buried in one's heart.

"I originally wanted to try other methods."

"But after trying many methods, I found that none of them worked, so I had no choice but to trouble my senior brother."

It was a bit difficult for her to come up with a flawless story on a whim.

Gu Qici tried to keep her tone light and wanted to skip over this detail.

Although Gu Qici didn't say it explicitly, Huang Quan looked at the girl's expression after saying those things, as if he had thought of something.

However, Gu Qici didn't give Huang Quan any more time to think and continued, "Now that you have the strength of Nirvana, you should be able to solve this problem for me very easily."

"However, as an assistant, Senior Brother will also be coming down with me." After Gu Qici finished speaking, a deep blush appeared on her face again.

Huang Quan's expression froze.

Seeing this, Gu Qici suppressed her shyness and gritted her teeth to say, "If Senior Brother promised before, he shouldn't refuse, right? Saving people is the priority."
