The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

Chapter 1177: Rong Xiu is Not Useless

Chu Liuyue: “…But he’s my mentor now. It’s not nice if I don’t say it, right?”

“He won’t ask further,” Dugu Mobao looked calm and said confidently. “Just say anything you like to dismiss him.”

Chu Liuyue increasingly confirmed the guess in her heart. She clenched her teeth and secretly clamped her hands as she asked, “Big Baby, your status is higher than Elder Wan Zheng, right?”

Dugu Mobao glanced at her as if he were looking at a fool.

Dugu Mobao suddenly changed the topic and seemingly asked unintentionally, “How’s… Fengmin Mountain?”

Chu Liuyue leaned against the chair and held her chin with one hand. In front of Dugu Mobao, she didn’t need to hide all of this, so she honestly said, “Pretty great—no, very good!”

She stroked her chin. “I feel that I can go there a few more times.”

If others heard her words, they would think that Chu Liuyue was insane.

However, Dugu Mobao didn’t say anything further. He looked down slightly, and his thick and long lashes trembled slightly, hiding the emotions in his eyes.

“Why do you think so?” he asked faintly.

Chu Liuyue briefly told him about the incident that happened at Fengmin Mountain.

“…Anyway, it’s very smooth when I cultivate there, and compared to outside, it’s even more…”

Chu Liuyue paused and didn’t know how to describe that feeling at that moment. Convenient?

Comfortable? I can ‘t pinpoint it. I have a Tianjing Yuan meridian, so my absorption ability of Heaven and Earth Force is naturally strong. But when I was inside, the tremendous force was especially gentle. When it entered my body, I also didn’t need to use much effort to merge it with my strength completely. I’ve never had such a feeling before.

“Could it be that there’s something special about that place? Hence, the force there is different from outside?” Chu Liuyue looked at Dugu Mobao. “Big Baby, what do you think?”

Even though Elder Wan Zheng said that Big Baby wasn’t the academy’s elder, Chu Liuyue felt that he should have an extremely close relationship with Ling Xiao Academy. Thus, he might have a better understanding of Fengmin Mountain?

“Fengmin Mountain’s pagoda is originally a special existence in the academy. If not, it won’t be a place that serves as one of the harshest punishments…” Dugu Mobao’s tone was light as if he had no interest in this. “Your experiences… aren’t that strange on their own.”

Chu Liuyue nodded thoughtfully but still didn’t understand. “Since it’s a punishment, I should feel terrible after I enter. However, why is it exactly the opposite?”

Dugu Mobao looked up and retorted calmly, “Since when were you the same as an average person?”

Chu Liuyue was speechless. I actually have no way ofdefending myself… My cultivationjourney does seem rather different from that ofan average person.

“Perhaps I have fate with Fengmin Mountain?” muttered Chu Liuyue softly. To be more accurate, I have fate with the space behind the door. I chose the same one twice consecutively. I wonder if IW still choose that one ifI go again?

Once this dangerous thought emerged, Chu Liuyue forcefully suppressed it. I came to the academy to cultivate, not cause trouble!

“You’re going to break through to become an intermediate stage-seven warrior?” Dugu Mobao sized her up again.

Chu Liuyue smiled. “Yeah! I previously thought it wouldn’t be so soon, but I didn’t expect my progress to be so fast after I cultivated at Fengmin Mountain for ten days.”

If this continues, I can officially break through in no time.

Dugu Mobao waved his small hand, and a chessboard glowing with a faint light appeared between the two of them. “Since this is so, let’s continue with the previous chess game!”

This time, Chu Liuyue had broken her record of most number of moves made under Dugu Mobao. Of course, she was exhausted in the end, and her soul almost left her body.

But perhaps he knew that she had experienced quite a few things today, so Dugu Mobao let her off very quickly.

Glancing at the completely dark sky, Big Baby stood up and flew down from the chair.

Chu Liuyue strangely asked, “Big Baby, are you… leaving?”

Dugu Mobao didn’t turn back and nodded slightly. “Just cultivate here.”

“Where are you going?” Talking about this, Chu Liuyue suddenly recalled that she hadn’t asked him where he had been during this period of time. Ifhe was also in the academy, then…

“I have my own place to go. “Dugu Mobao’s reply was extremely succinct, and he had no intentions of talking further. “I’ll come again tomorrow at this time.”

Chu Liuyue hurriedly stopped him. “Hey… Big Baby! I won’t be here tomorrow at this time!” Dugu Mobao then turned around and knitted his brows. “What does that mean?”

“Ahem, actually… I’ll be going out later. For the next month, I won’t be here at night as well. ”

Dugu Mobao suddenly realized something, and he squinted his sinister purple eyes dangerously. “You’re… going to Million Wine Mountain?”

“I finally won the bet with much difficulty. Of course, I can’t give up on it!” Chu Liuyue nodded obediently. I have already completely offended Liu Yintong over this. Won’t it be too much ofa disadvantage ifI don’t go?

Dugu Mobao snorted. “It is still because of that red-tailed phoenix?”

Once he said this, Tuan Zi ran out and squatted on Chu Liuyue’s shoulders. It shook its wings and nodded forcefully, looking prideful. Ofcourse!

Dugu Mobao glanced at it coldly. “Even if you don’t go, its bloodline power will also be gradually unleashed as you become stronger.”

Chu Liuyue wasn’t surprised that Dugu Mobao knew these things, so she shrugged her shoulders, smiled, and said, “I know, but since there’s this chance, I naturally won’t want to give it up. If we wait until I break through to become a legendary… Who knows how long it’ll take?”

Dugu Mobao knitted his brows slightly and was hesitant in his words. Actually, she might not need that long… However, I can ‘t tell her this.

“Since you’ve made up your mind, just do it. However—” Dugu Mobao paused. “You’re not allowed to stay on Million Wine Mountain during the restricted hours.”

Chu Liuyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she laughed. “Of course not! I’ve already been locked up once. There definitely won’t be a second time!”

Dugu Mobao looked at her deeply.

Chu Liuyue suddenly had an epiphany. “Big Baby, you know about the secret on Million Wine Mountain, right?”

Dugu Mobao didn’t speak.

“Why don’t you tell me—ahem, kidding, kidding!” Chu Liuyue said her words halfway and sensibly retracted her remaining words.

Dugu Mobao turned around and walked outside.

Chu Liuyue refused to give up and asked, “Big Baby, if I really made a huge mistake in the academy or offended some formidable character, my life—”

Dugu Mobao stopped in his tracks. “With me around, nobody can take your life. Besides—”

He scoffed coldly. “Rong Xiu isn’t useless!”
