The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 77 The Cause of the Matter!

Outside the Yunxiao Hotel, Chu Xun and Hua Qingwu were walking side by side.

Chu Xun was holding a piece of Warm Jade in his hand. This was the last one.

Crack!

Jiu You opened its mouth and bit a piece. It was like chewing beans.

Crack!

The Warm Jade was shrinking.

Chu Xun couldn’t help smiling! Jiu You was venting its anger.

He forgot Jiu You after he arrived and even didn’t think of it when he left. He thought Jiu You was on his wrist all the time.

Although Jiu You’s scales were as strong as black iron, it had never cultivated and could only resist attack by its own strength. It was hurt by the Internal Breath of Yun Nanfeng and forgotten by Chu Xun. It was very unhappy.

Chu Xun was also very self-reproached. He took out the last piece of Warm Jade to feed it, so as to calm it down.

Chu Xun decided that when he returned to Gujiang City, he would teach Jiu You cultivation.

Hua Qingwu used to be afraid of Jiu You, but now she was fond of it. In fact, women didn’t like animals like snakes and insects. But Jiu You was different from other snakes. It wasn’t cold and stinky. It was warm and smelled perfumed.

She reached out and touched Jiu You’s small head. Jiu You was also no longer hate Hua Qingwu. Because Hua Qingwu was also a cultivator now and her breath made it very comfortable. It rubbed the palm of Hua Qingwu intimately.

“Why did you agree with them on holding a feast?” asked Chu Xun.

Chu Xun had rejected all Su Fan’s proposals.

Seeing that, the guests asked Chu Xun to give them a chance to express their thanks.

Su Fan finally proposed to hold a thank-you banquet for Chu Xun.

Chu Xun had planned to refuse, but he didn’t expect Hua Qingwu to agree for him.

Hua Qingwu smiled with sharp-sighted eyes.

“Because they’re helpful to you!”

Chu Xun chuckled. He didn’t look down on these people, but he didn’t think of what these people could do for him.

“You’re indifferent and your ability is incomparable, but you know little of worldly wisdom. They asked for a chance to thank you, just because they want to have a relationship with you. In that case, why don’t you give them a chance? Aren’t you looking for your parents? You can use them and you only need to show up once. Why not do it?”

Chu Xun showed a look of thinking. Hua Qingwu was right. He did know little about worldly wisdom. He had been relying on himself in the world of cultivation for more than three thousand years, which had already become a habit.

“Thank you!”

Chu Xun suddenly felt that it was not a bad thing to have such a thoughtful woman around him.

“You do should thank me,” Hua Qingwu raised her pretty face, and said with a bright smile, “As your thank to me, kiss me.”

Chu Xun stiffened. Looking at the people around him, he was at a loss.

Hua Qingwu looked at the embarrassed Chu Xun and couldn’t help laughing. Chu Xun was emotionally passive, but it made her feel that Chu Xun was not so far away from her.

No one was perfect. If a person was too perfect, it would make people feel distanced from them.

“Where are we going now?”

Hua Qingwu held Chu Xun’s arm and asked.

“The Mount Butterfly,” said Chu Xun.

Hua Qingwu was slightly shocked. The Mount Butterfly was 50 kilometers south of Yunyan City. It was steep, but the scenery was beautiful. There were many butterflies flying there every spring and summer, so it was called Mount Butterfly.

Mount Butterfly was the favorite place for mountain climbers. When she was in university, she went to there with several classmates and had an accident.

An accident?

Hua Qingwu suddenly looked up at Chu Xun.

“I remember that the red fruit Yun Nanfeng took before came from Mount Butterfly.”

She remembered it all.

When she went to Mount Butterfly with her classmates, she slipped and fell into the mountain stream. Fortunately, there were many forests at the bottom of the mountain, and the leaves were thick. She only suffered skin trauma.

When she was waiting for help, she found a strange cave. The red fruit was growing on a tree in the cave, and was fragrant. She was curious and took two of them back. At last, she seemed to give them to her classmate.

Now, because of the cultivation, she finally thought of the wonder of the red fruit.

“Do you remember where that place is?” asked Chu Xun.

Hua Qingwu thought for a while, and nodded.

...

Half an hour later, they came to Mount Butterfly.

At this time, it was midsummer. Trees were flourishing, flowers were in full bloom, and butterflies were dancing all over the mountains.

Of course, there were more than twice as many tourists as usual.

Hua Qingwu took Chu Xun to a relatively secret place by memory. The road was narrow, and the side of it was a mountain stream. Tourists usually walked on the main road, and almost no one would come here.

“It was from here that I fell, and finally the rescue team rescued me,” Hua Qingwu said, pointing to a small slope on the side.

Chu Xun came closer and looked down. There were many trees under, and he couldn’t see the bottom.

According to Hua Qingwu, it was not deep and was 50 meters deep at most.

“I’ll go down and have a look.”

“No, I want to be with you.”

Hua Qingwu held Chu Xun’s arm and didn’t let him go.

Chu Xun chuckled, put his one hand around Hua Qingwu’s waist, and tapped the ground by his toes. Then the two fell vertically.

Hua Qingwu didn’t expect that Chu Xun would jump directly, and subconsciously screamed loudly, holding Chu Xun’s neck tightly.

Chu Xun was keen-eyed and saw that there were protruding rocks on the mountain wall. He resorted to them and jumped several times.

“Bang!”

They landed at the bottom of the mountain. After landing, the withered leaves around them were swept up by the strong wind and flew around.

“You can open your eyes now. We’re safe,” Chu Xun said indifferently.

Hua Qingwu released Chu Xun suddenly. She was annoyed inside. “He’s really an unromantic blockhead. Generally, the man will take the advantage to gently comfort and flirt with the woman.”

Chu Xun was confused. He didn’t know why Hua Qingwu got angry. “Did I do anything wrong?”

But soon he was attracted to another thing.

A magic formation!

Not far from him, there was a magic formation.

Chu Xun approached to observe and found that this was a rough Isolation Formation.

Behind the magic formation was an open stone gate.

Hua Qingwu watched Chu Xun go by, and was depressed. She followed him as she criticized him in her mind.

“This is the cave,” Hua Qingwu pointed to the stone gate behind the magic formation, and said with doubts, “When I told the rescuers, they couldn’t see it. It’s really strange.”

Chu Xun knew the reason. The rough magic formation was useless to Hua Qingwu, because she possessed an Energy Absorbing Constitution, which was also the terror of the Energy Absorbing Constitution.

This magic formation was too weak. If it was set by Chu Xun, Hua Qingwu wouldn’t see it. Of course, the prerequisite for it was that Hua Qingwu’s cultivation was not high.

If Hua Qingwu’s cultivation was the same as him, all the magic formations he set were useless for her.

“Chu Xun, why can I see this cave, while others can’t?” Hua Qingwu asked, then she added, “You’re not included.”

“Because you possess an Energy Absorbing Constitution!” Chu Xun didn’t hide the truth.

“An Energy Absorbing Constitution? What’s that?” Hua Qingwu was confused.

Chu Xun patiently told Hua Qingwu all the information about the Energy Absorbing Constitution in detail.

Hua Qingwu was very happy after listening to Chu Xun.

“Since the Energy Absorbing Constitution is so powerful, do you think it’s possible that I will surpass you one day?”

“Yes.” Chu Xun nodded.

Hua Qingwu was very happy. She excitedly wielded her small fist and complacently said, “Then you’d better be better to me later, otherwise when I surpass you, I’ll hit you violently.”

“You think so much. This kind of thing will never happen,” Chu Xun said with a smile.

“Why?” asked Hua Qingwu.

“Because cultivation and combat power are two different things!” Chu Xun paused for a moment and explained. “It’s like someone has a strong body, but he doesn’t know how to use it. Then he can only be regarded as a strong fool.”

“For example, martial artists have strong Internal Breath, but they also need the cooperation of martial skills to exert their power, so do we. We need to practice skills and techniques and so on!”

“I see.” Hua Qingwu was a little depressed, but then she suddenly became spirited. She tilted her head and said with a smile, “Can you teach me skills, techniques...”

“Yes!” Chu Xun didn’t hesitate to answer.

Hua Qingwu was slightly stunned. She didn’t expect that Chu Xun would directly agree. She vaguely knew that martial artists always regarded their martial skill as their life and never taught them to others. In this way, the cultivation skill and technique were also important to cultivators.

But Chu Xun agreed to teach her without thinking about it. It could be seen that Chu Xun cared about her very much. When she thought of that, Hua Qingwu’s heart was full of happiness and she smiled happily and sweetly.

Chu Xun didn’t pay attention to Hua Qingwu’s expression. He took three steps to the left and stopped.

“Crack!”

The sound sounded as if an egg was broken. Then a gust of wind passed, and the front magic formation was destroyed instantly.

“Let’s go!” said Chu Xun.

Hua Qingwu nodded. When she was about to step forward, she suddenly stopped and her bright pretty face grew pale.

Chu Xun walked two steps and found that Hua Qingwu didn’t keep up with him. He turned around, and saw that her face was pale. He said strangely, “What’s the matter with you?”

Hua Qingwu raised his face, looked at Chu Xun, and asked in a hesitated voice, “You just said that because I have the Energy Absorbing Constitution, I can walk through the magic formation and enter the cave freely?”

“Yes!” Chu Xun nodded and sighed slightly.

She seemed to have thought of it.

“That is to say, Yun Nanfeng tried to marry me by all manner of means, also because I’m able to enter and leave the cave freely? He needs this red fruit?”

Chu Xun nodded.

“Then, then the red fruit in his hand is one of the two I took out at the beginning?”

Chu Xun nodded again.

“Where’s my classmate?” Hua Qingwu asked in a low voice, with hope and fear in her eyes.

Chu Xun sighed and said, “Forget it. She died because she was born in an unlucky time. It has nothing to do with you.”

Tears fell down Hua Qingwu’s cheeks. She threw herself into Chu Xun’s arms, and sobbed. “It’s my fault. She was my best friend in college.”

Chu Xun didn’t know how to comfort others. He could only touch the back of Hua Qingwu gently.

He had already known the whole matter. Hua Qingwu’s classmate was born in an unlucky time and was abducted by the Yun Family. Yun Nanfeng found the red fruit from her and he also found that red fruit could suppress the ghost poison inside his body. After taking the red fruit, he could maintain his human being appearance without sucking girl’s blood for half a year.

Yun Nanfeng was overjoyed. He investigated it in many ways, and finally found Hua Qingwu.

But at that time, Hua Qingwu had gone to Gujiang City.

Yunnan Feng sent people to contact the Hua Family and put forward the idea of connection through marriage while sending people to the place where Hua Qingwu got the fruit.

However, no matter how they looked for it, they still couldn’t find the cave.

In the end, Yun Nanfeng accidentally met an Evil Taoist. The two shared the same rotten tastes and chimed in easily.

The Evil Taoist knew some about fengshui theory and evil technique. He found the cave by chance.

Unfortunately, they were not able to break the Isolation Formation.

They thought of Hua Qingwu.

But they didn’t want to act rashly and attract the attention of other forces.

That was why what happened later.

However, although they were considerate, they didn’t expect the existence of Chu Xun.

Just as the saying goes, man proposes, God disposes.
