Chapter 16: Acting

As soon as the gate was opened, many cultivators swarmed in, and as soon as they entered, they disappeared as if they had stepped into a portal, while the beautiful scenery behind the gate remained quiet.

”The forbidden area is extremely vast, and cultivators will be randomly teleported to a certain place in the forbidden area after entering the gate.” Zhu Yu quickly said. “Hold my hand.”

Yuege complied.

The moment she entered the door, there was only a dazzling white light, and Yuege subconsciously closed her eyes, and when she opened them, she was already in the middle of the flower forest.

The first reaction was, how beautiful, how fragrant.

The second reaction was, fragrant, too fragrant….

Pure, sweet, pungent, mild fragrance, muddled, delicate fragrance… Thousands of kinds of flower fragrances floated in, they weren’t retreating at all.

The cultivator’s five senses were keen, and Yuege was caught off guard by the scent, almost falling head over heels with dizziness.

Zhu Yu helped her and helplessly said, “Use the chemosensory loss technique that I taught you before.”

Yuege felt that breathing was a sin at this point, and immediately struggled to read out the spell.

Within a breath, the fragrance of the flowers faded, and Yuege tuned her breath for a moment, still having palpitations, “…this is too fragrant!”

Zhu Yu calmly said, “The chemosensory technique is quite practical here, but if you are in some dangerous places, you should not use it recklessly, you should be careful to distinguish the smell.”

In some spiritual realms where there were dangers everywhere, the scent could be a life-saving clue. In such a place, even if the stench is unbearable, you must remain clear and distinguish the information transmitted by each scent in order to survive!

Yuege smiled bitterly, “You mentioned it.”

To open the location of the Opportunity, one had to go to the center of the Forbidden Ground… It was an easy place to find, and if you looked up, you could see a gnarling flower tree in the distance.

The flower tree that was about a hundred feet tall and had a flower crown covering an area of ten hectares was the center of the forbidden area.

As they walked side by side along the forest path, most of the spirit trees were in full bloom at this time of the year, with petals of various colors floating lightly, as if they were in a fairyland.

However, there were still some spirit trees that had a different growth cycle, and one spirit tree a few steps away was covered in fluorescent white fruit.

Zhu Yu’s closed in, shot out two ice cones, slicing the stalks of the two spirit fruits at once. She waved her hands, the spirit fruit was caught securely.

”This kind of spirit fruit tastes sweet and no one could ever get tired of eating it.” Zhu Yu introduced, handing one to Yuege.

Yuege tasted it, it tasted a bit like a plum… but even more crunchy and sweet.

With another wave of her hand, Zhu Yu grabbed hundreds of fruits and put them all into her storage ring.

Yuege: “……..”

’Ah, I’m afraid this much is going to be eaten for later.’

A moment later…

Yuege began grab the fruit from another tree without changing her face or heart, she also hoarded the fruits into the storage ring.

She was not a foodie, really not, the reason why she would hoard spiritual fruit was all because of the effects of Asura’s foodie physique!

In this flower forest, no birds, beasts and insects could be heard, nor could bees and butterflies be seen, as if there were only spirit trees in the entire world, and nothing else.

As Yuege observed, she thought: ‘I don’t know how the ecological chain is formed. However, XuanHuan world, what even is science?’

Yuege explains to Zhu Yu what she wanted them to do – Going to the stone platform under the central flower tree and exchange heartfelt confessions before fighting each other to get into the place where the opportunity is.

She didn’t say where she had learned of this method, and Zhu Yu didn’t ask, nor did she seem too surprised.

Probably there were quite a few bigots among the cultivators who had quirks.

Zhu Yu just said thoughtfully, “Mutual heart-to-heart confession? How to confess?”

Yuege was prepared, and with a teasing smile, she handed over a note.

Zhu Yu flipped it over, “…”

Zhu Yu: “Do I really have to say these?”

Yuege: “Of course not, if Ah Zhu has her own creative ideas, it’s okay.”

Zhu Yu naturally wouldn’t make up these sweet words, she was silent and eventually agreed, her consciousness sweeping through, she remembered these hot and bold words of love.

The two of them were getting closer and closer to the center of the forbidden land, where some translucent little fairies could be seen appearing among the flowery forest.

These little guys were only palm-sized and humanoid, but they had dragonfly-like thin wings on their backs. Yuege watched as they carried small baskets in the crook of their arms as they moved among the flowers, and could not help but suspect that they were functioning as bees and butterflies… pollinating or something… …

At the sight of them, the little ones let out panicked chirps and scampered into the canopy to hide.

”It’s obvious that there’s no danger here.” Yuege sighed.

Zhu Yu said, “If a cultivator below the Ru Kong Realm, they will be haunted by these magical spirits and fall into the illusion.”

Yuege understood that this place was still considered dangerous for cultivators who were Cui Ti and Lian Xing. But for them… she’s Ru Kong and Zhu Yu is Kong Tian, it was indeed no different from an ordinary tourist attraction.

After another two hours, they finally arrived at the center of the forbidden land.

Under this gigantic towering tree, there were already dozens of people scouting around.

This was to be expected. There were thousands of cultivators who had entered the forbidden area, and many of them were regular visitors to this forbidden area – they were all here for chance.

This giant tree was so conspicuous, and it was the center of the Forbidden Area, so where else would they go if they didn’t come here to look for the opportunity?

”Right here?” Zhu Yu chanted for a moment. “Follow me.”

The nearby cultivators watched vigilantly, carefully keeping their distance from Zhu Yu and Yuege.

Yuege coughed lightly, honestly, it was really stressful to have to confess first and fight afterwards in public….

Zhu Yu didn’t care… She couldn’t be bothered with the opinions of others, whether they were positive or negative, sincere or hypocritical.

On the stone platform, a large number of cultivators had already gathered, racking their brains to try various methods of opening up opportunities.

There were those who performed manifestation techniques on the patterns carved on the edge of the stone platform, those who bowed to the flowers and trees, those who played chess with themselves, and those who mumbled something….

Yuege also saw a cultivator who seemed to be convinced that a thumb-sized hole in the trunk of a giant tree was the key to unlocking the opportunity, and was obsessively pouring spiritual energy into it.

Yuege who stopped thinking when she saw others’ method: “…”

’No wonder Zhu Yu didn’t find it strange at all, how weird is confess first and then fight each other could be compared to these a thousand and one attempts? Actually it sounded more normal.’

They leapt onto the stone platform.

Zhu Yu’s phoenix eyes were half-restrained, releasing her spiritual power, her own icy cold pressure scattered everywhere – in this forbidden place, Zhu Yu who was Kong Tian could be described as crushingly powerful, not something ordinary cultivators could resist.

The cultivators clenched their teeth, and those who knew better, jumped off the stone platform themselves .

The others that were unwilling, were forced by the pressure of the might and fell out as well.

Zhu Yu waved here hand again, and the ice spirit Qi went up, enveloping the stone platform… Making a boundary that can isolate themselves from the outside world.

Yuege couldn’t help but smile, and said, “Ah, even though Ah Zhu looked so calm, you actually also didn’t want the “confession” to be heard by others, right?”

As they were both ready, Yuege took a step forward and linked her ten fingers with Zhu Yu, sensed Zhu Yu’s hands stiffen, and then returned to normal in an instant.

Yuege cleared her throat, as if possessed by an actress, and began her acting.

”Since the first time I saw you as a child, I’ve never forgotten your face.” [1]

”My character is stubborn and obstreperous[2], but now I am no longer ostentatious[3], focusing on cultivation, everything I do, I do it for you.”[4]

”It’s a blessing in my life to have a lifelong marriage with you.”

Zhu Yu’s ten fingers subconsciously tightened, she restrained herself, facing Yuege’s smile, and as if chanting a spell, expressionlessly said:

”I have never been tempted until you came into my life.”

”You’re the most pure and kind woman I’ve ever met, and I can’t imagine my life without you.”

”…Anyway, you are mine.”

After finishing the last sentence, Zhu Yu couldn’t endure it.

Yuege desperately tried to hold back her laughter.

‘Hahaha!’

’A tailor-made overbearing iceberg president classic line for Zhu Yu! Surprise! Surprise!’

At this moment, this line should be added, “I want the whole world to know that this opportunity[5] is yours.” ‘Ahahaha!’

Yuege secretly stifled a laugh, but she hadn’t noticed… Zhu Yu was looking at her with downcast eyes, looking thoughtful.[6]

The heart-to-heart confession was still going on, and Yuege’s final performance is to sing “The Pledge” song[7], accompanied by affectionate glances to increase the credibility.
