Chapter 21: An Ruoxi took the initiative to hug the boy

“Ruoxi, why did you bring this brat along? The minimum cultivation requirement for this mission is the late stage of the Divine Palace Realm, and he is only in the Dao Platform Realm. He is not qualified to participate in this mission.”

An Ruojun was the first to speak.

She wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to her younger sister.

How could she let this smelly brat disturb her plans?

“Although Junior Brother Mo’s cultivation is relatively low, he is perfectly capable of protecting himself. He has even blocked one of my strikes.”

“Do not worry, Senior Sister. I will not hold Sister Ruoxi back,” Mo Huaiyu guaranteed as he patted his chest.

Hearing her sister’s words, An Ruojun’s brow furrowed.

Then, she heard the brat actually call her younger sister “Sister Ruoxi”!!??

And her sister looked as if she accepted it naturally!?

Only a few days ago, it was Senior Sister An, but today it was Sister Ruoxi.

Before long, would it not be “wife”?

No way! She absolutely would not allow it!

In an instant, An Ruojun’s expression turned ice-cold.

“No matter what, this brat is only in the Dao Platform Realm. As the Captain, I must be responsible for everyone in the team. It will not work if his cultivation does not meet the standard!”

Upon hearing the brat call her sister “Sister Ruoxi,” she immediately threw her plan to seduce Mo Huaiyu to the back of her mind.

An Ruojun’s repeated obstruction made Mo Huaiyu feel that things were becoming a bit difficult.

He had heard her say she was the Captain for this mission.

“Junior Brother Mo’s strength is comparable to the late stage of the Divine Palace Realm,” An Ruoxi argued for Mo Huaiyu.

Little did she know that the more she explained on his behalf, the more displeased An Ruojun became.

And since she was displeased, it was even more impossible for her to agree to let Mo Huaiyu join.

“Words alone are not proof. I want to see with my own eyes this brat defeat any random person in this team,” An Ruojun said with full confidence.

This was because the weakest member of the team was at the peak of the Divine Palace Realm, which was even one step stronger than the late stage of the Divine Palace Realm.

“In that case, Eldest Senior Sister, I am willing to test this boy.”

At that moment, a young man standing beside Qin Wudi stepped forward.

He was at the perfection of the Divine Palace Realm.

He was Qin Wudi’s younger cousin.

He had already heard rumors about a boy appearing by An Ruoxi’s side recently, and seeing him today still gave him a surprise.

He knew his older cousin liked An Ruoxi, so he planned to personally defeat this boy to create an opportunity for his cousin to spend time alone with her.

When the time came, his cousin would surely give him many benefits!

“Good!” An Ruojun nodded with satisfaction.

At the perfection of the Divine Palace Realm, that brat definitely could not win.

“How about it? Little Junior Brother, do you want to spar with me?”

The young man asked with a contemptuous smile.

An Ruoxi became a little angry.

Her crimson lips parted as she said, “Junior Brother Mo overextended himself while practicing his cultivation technique yesterday, and his strength has not yet recovered. I will fight in his place.”

Just as she was about to move, Mo Huaiyu quickly pulled her sleeve.

“Do not worry, Sister Ruoxi. I can handle this guy.”

An Ruoxi looked at the boy who stepped in front of her.

Her lips were tightly pursed as she said, “Junior Brother Mo, if anything goes wrong, I will step in.”

Seeing the intimate interaction between her sister and this brat, An Ruojun’s expression turned cold once again.

‘Hmph! You brat! I will not let you have my sister!’

Everyone made way for the two of them.

The boy looked at the young man and cupped his fists with a smile.

“Senior Brother, please advise me!”

The young man, however, appeared particularly relaxed. He looked at Mo Huaiyu and sneered, “Junior Brother, to have such cultivation at your age means your talent is not bad. Unfortunately, one must not be greedy.”

*Boom!*

In the next moment, majestic Spiritual Qi swept out from within the young man’s body.

He threw a punch, and the Spiritual Qi gathered at his fist, eventually transforming into leaping lightning that surged forth.

Thunder Arts were famous for their domineering offensive power among cultivation techniques, but they were also extremely difficult to practice.

The lightning transformed into a sharp sword — sharp and overbearing.

As it swept across the ground, the stone slabs shattered into pieces that flew in all directions.

Seeing this strike, An Ruojun was very satisfied.

‘Good. This guy used a killing move right from the start. The brat definitely won’t be able to block it.’

On the other side, An Ruoxi’s beautiful face turned a few degrees colder.

She looked at the boy, and the Spiritual Qi within her body began to circulate quietly.

Facing this violent strike, a gust of wind hit Mo Huaiyu’s face before the attack even arrived, causing his robes to rustle loudly.

He looked at the Thunder Light Sword with a slightly serious expression.

There was no sign of panic on his face; instead, he seemed eager to try.

‘Perfect. I can test the new Dharma treasure I just received.’

Mo Huaiyu took out a lotus flower.

It was not large, only about the size of a palm, but its petals were covered with intricate spirit patterns.

*Boom!*

The Thunder Light Sword charged forward, and the exploding lightning caused ripples to form in the air.

Mo Huaiyu immediately poured Spiritual Qi into the lotus and then activated his newly practiced cultivation technique.

“Go!”

As he spoke, the lotus suddenly shot out.

Its petals spun rapidly, swallowing the Thunder Light Sword in an instant.

“How is that possible!?”

The young man exclaimed in shock. His strongest strike had been neutralized so easily!

*Whoosh!*

After swallowing the Thunder Light Sword, the lotus arrived in front of the young man in the blink of an eye.

The lotus bloomed, and the Thunder Light Sword it had previously swallowed actually shot back at him!

*Boom!*

The Thunder Light Sword hit the young man’s chest and exploded violently.

Accompanied by the sound of a bone snapping, the young man spat out a large mouthful of blood.

His body flew backward and crashed onto the ground.

He pointed a trembling finger at Mo Huaiyu and said, “This child… is actually this terrifying!”

*Thud—*

After saying that, his hand dropped, and he fainted, unable to get up again.

“Who else!”

Mo Huaiyu said arrogantly with his hands on his hips.

‘Wow, the Dharma treasure Sister Ruoxi’s Master gave me is seriously badass!’

‘Oh, wait. I shouldn’t just call it “badass.”

I’m a man. It should be “full of prestige”!’

However, as the saying goes, one cannot look cool for more than three seconds.

“Haha! I am…”

“Eh?”

Before Mo Huaiyu could finish, the Spiritual Qi in his body suddenly emptied.

His entire body instantly went soft, and he looked like he was about to kiss the ground face-first.

*Thud!*

As Mo Huaiyu’s vision went dark, he did not feel the expected pain of hitting the ground.

Instead, he felt a fragrant and soft sensation that made him reluctant to pull away.

The tall and curvaceous older sister had caught the falling boy.

The boy’s small head was buried in her magnificent bosom, causing the hearts of those around them to shatter.

This was the Hundred Flowers Fairy of the Yuling Sect.

No one knew how many disciples in the sect admired An Ruoxi.

Now, seeing the fairy of their hearts holding the boy, their Dao hearts almost crumbled.

An Ruojun instantly bristled.

Her younger sister had actually taken the initiative to hug this brat!

!!!

Mo Huaiyu also did not expect Sister Ruoxi to take the initiative to hug him.

Ordinarily, he would have remained silent and quietly enjoyed it.

But not now!

He felt like there were needles pricking his back.

He did not even need to guess; An Ruojun was definitely staring at him with a gaze that could eat him alive.

He hurriedly left An Ruoxi’s embrace and braced his body.

“Thank you, Sister Ruoxi.”

Seeing that the boy was unwilling to stay in her arms for another second, An Ruoxi’s expression dimmed slightly before returning to normal.

“It is good that Junior Brother Mo is fine.”

Seeing that Mo Huaiyu was being tactful, An Ruojun huffed.

A moment ago, she had almost rushed forward to personally separate the two.

As for the young man who had fainted on the ground… sorry, no one was paying any attention to him. The tragedy of a tool character.
