Chapter 79 Mischievous
"Junior Sister Yue, how are you now?"
Song Chaofeng finally arrived at the bamboo forest, but he couldn't find any trace of Tao Tao anywhere. He wondered if the little girl had run away.
But her master has already issued a ban, where could she possibly go? It would be dangerous if she were caught and brought back.
Fearing that Tao Tao might cause trouble, Song Chaofeng didn't care about anything else and released a talisman to search for Tao Tao's whereabouts.
Just then, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and the entire mountain gate trembled. Song Chaofeng lost his balance and fell to the ground, the hairs on his body standing on end.
He didn't mishear, did he? That was a dragon's roar...
Dragons are legendary creatures; this sound shouldn't be coming from Emerald Bamboo Peak. Could it be that a dragon has descended? Or perhaps the true dragon ancestor...?
Their Annihilation Frost Sect does have a divine dragon, but that is a true dragon ancestor; how could it possibly appear so easily?
Song Chaofeng was amused by his own thoughts, but he was really curious. The terrifying power made him get up from the ground and walk towards the direction from which the dragon's roar came.
Strangely enough, he clearly felt that the sound was coming from this direction, but after walking for a long time, he did not sense any presence. Could it be that he was mistaken?
Just then, something was approaching from behind, its terrifying power sending chills down his spine.
coming!
He gritted his teeth, knowing that any defense would be futile; his opponent was stronger than him and could easily break through his shield.
"I am Wu Chuang. I hope you will forgive me, senior!" Song Chaofeng Mengde turned around and, without thinking, immediately began to bow, almost kneeling down. But then he heard a familiar voice.
"Senior brother? What are you doing here?" Tao Tao blinked at the person in front of him, his face full of confusion.
Upon hearing the voice, Song Chaofeng immediately looked up and was so shocked that his jaw dropped. "Tao Tao? It's you! You scared me half to death. I thought some senior had arrived. No, wait, that aura was so terrifying just now, it didn't seem to come from you. Could it be that Senior Bai?"
"There's no one here. I was the only one here just now. Senior brother, are you mistaken?"
"Impossible, my feeling was right, it really is terrifying..."
As he spoke, he looked Tao Tao up and down, feeling that she was somewhat different now, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was different.
"By the way, senior brother, since you're here, please help me refine the spiritual essence. Ayan said that I need to use the spiritual essence to water the Luo Cui Jade Marrow Bamboo so that they will grow faster, and then I can leave."
"Huh? What marrow?"
"Don't worry about it for now, just do it." Song Chaofeng was pulled away by Tao Tao to help her refine spiritual essence before she even understood what was going on.
Although Bai Yan only taught her the method of refining spiritual essence, a little observation would reveal that this method is not only used to refine spiritual essence, but also to consolidate one's own cultivation and thereby improve strength.
As a result, Song Chaofeng also benefited, and the bottleneck that had been blocking him showed signs of breaking through, which made him very happy.
Time passed slowly, and after Gu Hanshuang went into seclusion for several more days, the first thing she did upon emerging was to inquire about Tao Tao's condition. Naturally, the disciples of the sect dared not conceal the truth and had no choice but to tell her the facts.
"You said she's been quite relaxed lately? And even her strength has increased significantly? No wonder she's a disciple favored by Senior Brother You Yunzi, she really has a lot of talent."
"Then, Master, shall we go and check on the condition of Luo Cuiyu Marrow Bamboo?"
"No need, let her stay. The martial arts tournament is still a few days away, and I imagine some people are already getting impatient. I'll go and meet them."
"Yes, but now that the martial arts tournament is about to begin, as disciples of Immortal Spirit Valley, are you really not going to let Junior Sister Yue go back?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Hanshuang coldly glanced at the disciple and said somewhat displeasedly, "Since she stays on my Emerald Bamboo Peak, she is naturally one of our Emerald Bamboo Peak members."
Good heavens, this is blatant robbery by our grandmaster! Can Grandmaster You Yunzi accept this?
The disciple felt a chill run down his spine, but dared not say anything. He could only lower his head silently, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Hanshuang had disappeared.
At this moment, Immortal Spirit Valley was also bustling with activity. Feng Yue and others came to Mu Chen's residence to discuss how to rescue Tao Tao. They proposed a lot of plans, but in the end, they were all rejected because the other party was Gu Hanshuang.
"This won't work, that won't work, how will our junior sister come back? The Martial Arts Tournament still needs her to participate. Our grandmaster has high hopes for her. What if Green Bamboo Peak tries to keep her here and won't let her participate in the Martial Arts Tournament? Wouldn't we lose a valuable asset?"
“If even Master can’t do anything, there’s no use in us worrying.” Mu Chen had gone to You Yunzi many times for this, but he didn’t expect that You Yunzi, who always doted on Tao Tao, would be unusually calm this time. Instead, he comforted him, saying, “Don’t worry, your little disciple is blessed by the heavens.”
They thought he was lucky, but they believed that once he got to Gu Hanshuang's place, he would suffer a lot and it would be good enough if he didn't starve and lose weight.
Feng Yue frowned slightly. He didn't know what his grandmasters were scheming about, but he felt that Tao Tao was more comfortable staying in Immortal Spirit Valley. So he whispered, "Can we secretly go and bring Tao Tao back?"
"First, you must pass the restrictions imposed by the ancient master; otherwise, further discussion is pointless."
"..."
"What should we do? We wonder how our junior sister is doing?"
The disciples of Immortal Spirit Valley were extremely worried about Tao Tao, fearing that she wouldn't have enough to eat or wear; they were overflowing with maternal love.
However, what they didn't know was that Tao Tao was having a great time during this period. She was either digging for mushrooms or catching birds in the bamboo forest. She didn't let any creature in the bamboo forest go. One reason was to fill her stomach, and the other was just for fun. After all, it was boring to stay here, so she had to find something to do.
As for the spiritual essence, she entrusted it all to Song Chaofeng, believing that he would be able to extract it.
Well, the jade bamboo was fine, but other things suffered. At first, Tao Tao stayed in the bamboo forest, but later she couldn't stand it and ran all over the Green Bamboo Peak. She would go here to catch fish and there to pick fruit. All the spiritual fruits that had been painstakingly planted were picked clean by her.
The crucial point is that after she had picked and eaten most of the fruit, she brought it back to Song Chaofeng. Seeing the spiritual fruit that she had personally watered, Song Chaofeng was on the verge of tears. "Junior sister, this is a spiritual fruit, which only ripens once every fifty years. You just picked it like that? When our master comes out of seclusion and doesn't see the spiritual fruit, she will be furious."
"Wouldn't it be a waste to leave such good fruit uneaten? Besides, I didn't pull it up by the roots, so it can still bear fruit."
"What kind of twisted logic is that? Do you want to uproot it?"
"Yes, but it couldn't be pulled out."
"..."
Song Chaofeng, holding a fruit in her pocket, didn't know what to say for a moment. Luckily, Tao Tao was fortunate to have a senior by her side; otherwise, with her mischievousness, she would have been disciplined sooner or later.
Afterwards, Tao Tao approached again, looking expectant, and asked, "Senior brother, how's the spiritual marrow?"
"Oh... can I say that not a single bit was extracted?"
