Vol.3-Chapter 39 – Abnormal Little Black

Seeing that only he and Pei Su Su remained, Zhao Jiuge let out a sigh of relief. When Lin Bo Re first appeared, he pretended to be calm, but he was very nervous.

Now that the matter had been resolved and a fight hadn’t broken out between the two women, he felt very fortunate. Just thinking about when they were ready to fight, fear crept up his spine.

Thinking about the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass, Zhao Jiuge threw aside all other things and was filled with joy. With the help of the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass, his Sanskrit Divine Boldy would take a qualitative leap.

Back then, by chance, he was able to create the Sanskrit Divine Palm, which caused the light around his palm to become more dazzling. Then, with the help of the Arhat Divine Fruit, he was able to cultivate both arms as well. He didn’t know what kind of change the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass would bring.

“Su Su, let us go. If those old fellows from the Giant Sword Sect really come, it will be troublesome. Let us find a safe place to recover, then I can consume the Seven-Colored Flowing Light grass and cultivate.”

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Jiuge had an excited smile while speaking to Pei Su Su.

However, when Zhao Jiuge saw Pei Su Su’s expression, which was a smile that wasn’t a smile, he felt his heart sink. He was too used to this expression and knew that Su Su was going to settle a score with him.

When Pei Su Su saw Zhao Jiuge’s expression change, her playful smile became even more intense and her mouth curved up. “No rush, even if those old fellows from the Giant Sword Sect come, there is nothing to be afraid of. Let us first resolve this problem. Once it's solved, you can cultivate however you like.”

“What problem is there between us?” Zhao Jiuge felt nervous, and because of that, his voice was a lot softer than usual. At this moment, Zhao Jiuge seemed to have guessed the matter!

“Tell me who this Bai Qingqing is. How come I have not heard you mention her before?” Pei Su Su smiled while looking at Zhao Jiuge. While her face was filled with smiles, Zhao Jiuge knew it was the calm before the storm.

Just after Pei Su Su spoke, Zhao Jiuge’s back was covered in cold sweat. He thought could get through this, but Pei Su Su had brought up this subject.

“Just a good friend. If there is a chance, I’ll take you to meet her.” Zhao Jiuge didn’t even hesitate at all, and at the same time, he was thinking about how to get through this situation. Other things were fine, but on the matter of emotions, Pei Su Su would not let it go so easily.

“Really, just friends and no other relationship?”

Pei Su Su still had that smile. While she spoke, she slowly walked toward Zhao Jiuge. She pursed her lips and continued, “Then am I more beautiful, or is Bai Qingqing more beautiful?”

When Pei Su Su finished speaking, she was only one step away from Zhao Jiuge.

“Of course you’re more beautiful.”

Feeling the danger under Pei Su Su’s smile, Zhao Jiuge naturally said what she wanted to hear. He couldn’t care about other things right now, because if Pei Su Su erupted, he wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

Looking at Pei Su Su’s mischievous smile and her closing in on him, Zhao Jiuge immediately ran after he finished speaking. He moved so fast that he created a gust of wind.

Sure enough, the moment Zhao Jiuge ran, a slender hand appeared where he stood.

Pei Su Su was startled for a moment and then shouted, “Blockhead, stop! Now you dare to run!?” She wanted to take advantage of this chance and grasp his ear to make him confess. However, she didn’t expect Zhao Jiuge to have learned to run.

“I won’t stop. Do you think I’m stupid? If I stop, I’ll only suffer!” Zhao Jiuge responded without turning his head and continued to walk faster. He acted like Su Su was a female tiger.

“If I catch you today, I’ll teach you a lesson!” Su Su angrily exclaimed, then she chased after him. However, watching Zhao Jiuge run away in a sorry state like this made her burst out laughing.

When Pei Su Su and Lin Bo Re seemed like they were going to battle, Little Black had jumped from Su Su to Zhao Jiuge’s body. He was sitting on Zhao Jiuge’s shoulder and his little hand was tightly gripping Zhao Jiuge’s hair. He looked at the pursuing Su Su and his eyes revealed joy while he squeaked in excitement.

Under the sun, a man and woman were playing and chasing each other. The sounds of them flirting echoed and lingered through the forest.

After a few hours, night fell. In a dilapidated temple in the wilderness, one could see the shadows of two people and a monkey through the broken walls.

The dilapidated temple had reached the point where the roof tiles had all been broken, so there wasn’t a single complete tile left. The surrounding walls had begun to crumble, and one of the walls had collapsed completely.

At this moment, there was light from a fire coming out of the dilapidated temple, and it was particularly eye-catching in the dark night.

There was a mighty Buddha statue before the main wall of the temple. The statue was not affected by how dilapidated the surroundings were, but it was covered in a thick layer of dust. The Huaxia Dynasty was simply too large, so it was not strange to find abandoned buildings like this.

There was also a large furnace inside the temple. From the accumulated soot within, it seemed this place used to be filled with people. It was unknown what had happened to cause this place to be abandoned like this.

There were two somewhat damaged praying mats on the ground. They were greyish-blue and there were sewing marks on the edges.

At this moment, under the Buddha statue, there was a fire made of dried wood. The fire flickered and shined on Zhao Jiuge and Su Su’s faces. This caused their faces to loom in and out of the darkness.

The two of them were sitting on top of the two praying mats, and Little Black was lazily lying beside them. His four limbs were stretched to the sky with his belly up. There was some dried yellow grass under him.

The dried yellow grass had a unique smell that was very familiar to Zhao Jiuge, who grew up in a mountain village. The cracking of the bonfire added some liveliness to the quiet night.

After experiencing what had happened in the afternoon, the two of them had decided to avoid the official road. One reason was to avoid people and reduce unnecessary encounters. The second was to avoid the pursuit of the Giant Sword Sect in case they wanted revenge. They had gone straight into the depths of the mountains. Once they left the Yan province, they naturally wouldn’t have to worry about the Giant Sword Sect.

However, when night was about to fall, they found this broken temple. When they found that no one was here and it was abandoned, they decided to stay here for the night. This would give Zhao Jiuge a chance to recover his spirit force and use the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass to cultivate his Sanskrit Divine Body.

It was spring, so it was still a bit chilly at night. Listening to the wind outside and watching Su Su’s delicate face under the fire, Zhao Jiuge entered a brief trance. He wasn’t in a rush to begin cultivating immediately.

Another pop echoed from a piece of firewood that had been fully burnt. This awakened Zhao Jiuge from his trance, and he looked up at the Buddha statue covered in dust. He felt very satisfied. From a youth from a mountain village to having a certain amount of success in his cultivation. He was surrounded by good people, and although there were many regrets, he was happy with what he had.

Zhao Jiuge’s heart was extraordinarily calm. He got up from the praying mat and began gently wiping the dust from the surface of the Buddha statue. His heart filled with respect.

Perhaps because of the effect of cultivating the Sanskrit Divine Body, or maybe because he had a smiling Buddha in his dantian, he felt particularly close to the Buddha statue.

Little Black was still lazily lying there, while Pei Su Su had her head lowered, thinking about something.

Zhao Jiuge believed in Buddha deep in his heart. Perhaps it was because of fate that Zhao Jiuge felt he was favored by the Buddha. In the future, if he had a chance, he would go to the Nameless Temple. He had heard that not only were there monks with high cultivation there, their comprehension of Buddisim was profound and mysterious.

He gently wiped the dust from the surface of the Buddha statue and sighed. He looked at the sky outside and decided to devour the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass. They would have to leave right away at dawn.

Zhao Jiuge took out the jade box and gently opened it. Spirit force fluctuations leaked out from inside, and there was a thin layer of seven-colored light around the box.

Zhao Jiuge looked at this thousand-year Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass with passion. He couldn’t take his eyes off it. At the same time, he hoped that it would help his cultivation and not waste this precious herb.

The box was made of cold jade, so the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass was still as bright as ever. The seven different colored leaves gently swayed. Because it was an herb for refining the body, it was best to devour it directly to get the full effect.

He took a look at the Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass and directly put it into his mouth. He began chewing, and the juice from the grass flowed through his body.

This Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass was 1,000 years old. The moment the juice entered his body, it began taking effect. Zhao Jiuge felt a burning pain in his body, and he knew it was the violent spirit force from the grass assaulting him.

A faint, golden light suddenly came from the surface of Zhao Jiuge’s body. It was faint at first, but as time passed, this golden light became stronger and stronger. Finally, the light erupted and scattered in all directions. This made the dilapidated temple particularly eye-catching.

Zhao Jiuge’s Sanskrit Divine Body had automatically activated!

Within the dazzling light, there was a layer of golden light. Under that golden light, Zhao Jiuge’s arms were clearly different. This was the Sanskrit Divine Palm, but at this moment, his legs gave off this kind of light as well. It looked like after consuming this Seven-Colored Flowing Light Grass, he would be able to successfully cultivate his two legs. However, the spirit light around his legs was unstable.

While the spirit light flickered, a powerful aura suddenly came from Zhao Jiuge’s body. The smiling Buddha in Zhao Jiuge’s dantian appeared and surrounded his whole body.

This was the third time this mysterious smiling Buddha had appeared. However, Zhao Jiuge didn’t know what this figure meant! While all this stuff was happening, Zhao Jiuge was immersed in his cultivation.

This sudden change shocked the nearby Su Su. However, when she felt the stable aura from Zhao Jiuge’s body, she relaxed. She couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at this strange figure.

When this light from the smiling Buddha erupted, a figure a few dozen kilometers away seemed to look toward Zhao Jiuge’s direction.
