"Death or life, let it be your fate!" Ji Yewei said, using Immortal Binding Rope to tie Ji Yefu tightly, and then pushed her into the lake.
The lake water splashed, and the figure of Ji Yefu gradually disappeared into the lake water. Gu Sheng looked at the lake, took a deep breath, and then turned to look at Ji Yewei.
"Let's go," he said.
The two turned and left, but did not notice anything strange in the lake. It turned out that the moment Ji Yefu was pushed into the lake, a black shadow emerged from the lake and attached itself to her body.
"Quack, quack, how can such a good body be wasted?" The black shadow monster smiled and took over Ji Yefu's body.
At this time, Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei had already left the lake, and they did not notice this change.
A few days later, when the two returned to the lake again, they found that Ji Yefu had climbed out of the lake, and her eyes became cold and evil.
"You two idiots, do you really think you can get rid of me so easily?" Ji Yefu smiled ferociously, dodged and attacked the two of them.
Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei were shocked. They didn't expect that Ji Yefu was still alive and had greatly increased in strength. The two joined forces to fight, but found that Ji Yefu's strength had far exceeded before.
"Quack, is that all you have?" Ji Yefu mocked, "Then let me send you on your way!"
As she said that, she slapped Gu Sheng with her palm. Gu Sheng dodged the palm and stabbed Ji Yefu with his backhand sword. However, Ji Yefu was like a prophet, easily dodging this sword.
"You are no match for me." Ji Yefu sneered, "Suffer death!"
As she spoke, she waved her hands, and two black energy waves hit the two of them. Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei worked together to resist, but were still shocked and knocked back several steps.
"How could this happen?" Ji Yewei exclaimed, "How could her strength suddenly become so strong?"
"I don't know." Gu Sheng said with a frown, "But she is really difficult to deal with now."
The two were locked in a tough battle. Facing the greatly increased strength of Ji Yefu, they felt unprecedented pressure, but they did not give up. Gu Sheng activates the technique, Sea Bottom Realm's first-level cultivation is fully displayed, and visions such as mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, flowers, birds, and strange beasts emerge, and his aura is so powerful. At the same time, he activated Primordial Saint Body, and the golden grid-like golden light flowed all over him, as if a golden god of war had descended into the world.
He took out his golden palms and golden fists and fought fiercely with Ji Yefu. And Ji Yewei, wielding Jade Maiden Seven-Colored Sword and Thirstblood Battle Axe, started a thrilling battle with Ji Yefu.
Ji Yefu seemed to have endless power. No matter how the two of them attacked, they could not cause substantial damage to her. Instead, in repeated confrontations, the two gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Quack, is that all you have?" Ji Yefu smiled ferociously, "Looks like I can have a full meal today!"
As she spoke, she waved her hands, and two black energy waves struck the two of them again. This time, Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei were unable to withstand the blow, and both were knocked away.
"Poof!" Gu Sheng fell heavily to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood. And Ji Yewei also collapsed on the ground, panting and looking at Ji Yefu.
"How could this happen?" Ji Yewei asked unwillingly, "We have obviously worked so hard..."
"Quack, try hard? What's the use of trying hard in the face of absolute power?" Ji Yefu laughed, "Just obediently become my food!"
With that said, she walked towards the two of them. However, at this moment, a green figure suddenly emerged from the woods and stood in front of Ji Yefu.
"Who are you?" Ji Yefu asked warily.
"It doesn't matter who I am." The green figure said, "What matters is that I can't let you hurt them."
With that said, he launched an attack on Ji Yefu. His speed was extremely fast and his movements were weird. For a while, he was inextricably linked with Ji Yefu. Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei took the opportunity to get up and stood aside to watch the battle.
After a fierce battle, the green figure finally defeated Ji Yefu. He turned around and looked at Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"It's okay, thank you for saving us." Gu Sheng said gratefully.
"You're welcome." The green figure said, "I just happened to pass by here and saw that you were in danger and came to help."
"May I ask your benefactor's surname?" Ji Yewei asked.
"Green Willow!"
After saying that, Green Willow turned around and left, disappearing into the woods. This is a woman with strange movements.
The night is getting darker, and the moonlight is like water, shining quietly on the lake. Farewell to Green Willow, Gu Sheng and Ji Yewei walked side by side, their shadows stretched very long under the moonlight, like two souls leaning on each other.
"You are free now and can go home!" Gu Sheng broke the silence, with a trace of imperceptible concern in his words.
Ji Yewei heard this, but frowned slightly. She looked up at the starry sky, with a stubborn light in her eyes. "I don't want to go home. The family is full of bastards. It's really meaningless. I might as well wander around the world with you and have fun!" Her tone was a little playful and a little serious, making it difficult to tell the truth from the false.
Gu Sheng smiled slightly, he had long been accustomed to the willfulness and logic of these young ladies. He didn't say much, just silently released Divine Sense and began to search for prey in the quiet night. He knew that for a young lady like Ji Yewei, this wandering life might just be a whim, but he was also willing to accompany her through this journey.
Ji Yewei felt the Divine Sense fluctuations of Gu Sheng, and she curiously followed his Divine Sense to search. Soon, she discovered a huge Nether Tyrant, which was like a giant black whale swimming in the deep lake bottom.
"Look! There's a Nether Tyrant there!" Ji Yewei pointed it out to Gu Sheng excitedly.
Gu Sheng nodded, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. "Well, we are in for a treat tonight."
As he spoke, he gave an order, "Cao Teng, catch it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick Grass Vine Demonic Soul came out and flew to the bottom of the lake like lightning. Although Nether Tyrant is huge in size, its cultivation level is only Marrow Refining Realm Seventh Heaven. It seemed to feel the dangerous atmosphere and began to struggle hard. However, Grass Vine Demonic Soul seemed to have a spirit, tightly wrapping around Nether Tyrant's body and binding it tightly.
As Grass Vine Demonic Soul dragged hard, Nether Tyrant was pulled toward the shore little by little. Its body drew a huge water mark on the lake, like a black arc cutting through the night sky.
When Nether Tyrant was pulled to the shore, Gu Sheng waved his hand gently, and Grass Vine Demonic Soul turned into filaments, dividing Nether Tyrant's body into pieces. The movements were so skillful and natural that Ji Yewei was stunned. She had never seen such a magical scene, and she couldn't help but be full of respect and curiosity for Gu Sheng.
"This... how is this done?" she couldn't help but ask.
"This is Grass Vine Demonic Soul's special ability." Gu Sheng explained, "It can sense the breath of living creatures and respond quickly."
Ji Yewei nodded, secretly amazed. She looked at Gu Sheng's busy figure, which looked particularly handsome and handsome under the firelight. For some reason, an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.
Gu Sheng didn't seem to notice Ji Yewei's strange mood. He concentrated on roasting the fish meat and sprinkled it with various seasonings from time to time. The firelight reflected on his face, outlining a firm yet gentle outline.
"Try it." Gu Sheng handed Ji Yewei a piece of roasted fish meat.
Ji Yewei took the fish meat and took a bite gently. The tender, juicy and fragrant meat made her exclaim, "Wow! It's so delicious!"
Gu Sheng Looking at her satisfied expression, a warmth surged in her heart. The two of them just sat by the fire, enjoying the delicious fish meat and the quiet night.
The moonlight shines on the lake, and the sparkling beauty and the warm atmosphere beside the fire complement each other, seeming to form a beautiful picture.
"Are you really not going to go home?" Gu Sheng turned over the Nether Tyrant meat in his hand and asked casually.
Ji Yewei glanced at him, with a smile on his lips, "What, you want me to go back?"
"This is your family matter, so I can't say much." Gu Sheng said calmly. He handed the roasted fish meat to Ji Yewei, "Try it and see how it tastes?"
Ji Yewei took the fragrant fish meat and took a bite. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "Well, it's really delicious! You are good at cooking."
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Sheng smiled slightly and took a bite of the fish meat in his hand.
The two were silent for a while, then Ji Yewei suddenly said, "Actually, I don't really hate the family, I'm just tired of the intrigues."
"I understand." Gu Sheng nodded, "In a big family, these disputes are inevitable."
"What about you? Why did you choose such a life?" Ji Yewei asked curiously.
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "I... I just want to find something that truly belongs to me."
"What about?"
"Such as freedom, such as the true self." Gu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at the starry sky in the distance, "You know, sometimes I feel that under this starry sky, everyone is like a lonely star. We are all looking for our own place."
Ji Yewei was silent after hearing this. She also raised her head and looked at the starry sky, feeling an inexplicable resonance in her heart.
The two of them sat quietly by the lake, looking up at the stars, each with their own thoughts.
"Gu Sheng, do you think we can really find our own place?" Ji Yewei broke the silence.
"Maybe, maybe not." Gu Sheng sighed, "But at least, we are working hard to find it."
"What if I can't find it?"
"Then keep looking until you find it." Gu Sheng turned his head and looked into Ji Yewei's eyes. "Life is a journey. What is important is not the destination, but the scenery and the people you meet along the way."
Ji Yewei was touched by Gu Sheng's words, and she suddenly had an impulse to know more about this man.
"Gu Sheng, why did you choose such a life?" She couldn't help but ask again.
Gu Sheng was silent for a while, seeming to be recalling something. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and told his story.
He originally came from a small county town, but for various reasons, he chose to leave and start traveling alone. In the process, he met all kinds of people and things, and experienced countless difficulties and setbacks. But he never gave up on finding his dreams and pursuits.
Listening to Gu Sheng's narration, Ji Yewei seemed to see the image of a man who was tenacious and courageous. An inexplicable emotion surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but have more affection and respect for Gu Sheng.
Just as the two were talking to each other, the people from the Ji Family finally caught up.
"Ye Wei! You finally showed up! Come back with us!" an elder from the Ji Family said coldly.
Ji Yewei's face instantly turned extremely pale. She knew that she could not escape her family's pursuit. However, she really didn't want to go back to that place full of intrigues.
"Gu Sheng..." She looked helplessly at the man beside her.
Gu Sheng held her hand tightly and conveyed strength and courage to her. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He stood up and faced the elders of the Ji Family: "Elders, Ye Wei doesn't want to go back. Why can't you respect her choice?"
"Hmph! This is our Ji Family's business. It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere!" The elders obviously didn't take Gu Sheng seriously.
Ji Family trip
The atmosphere between the two sides was extremely tense, as if a spark could ignite this imminent battle. However, at this critical moment, Ji Yewei suddenly spoke.
"Elder Wanyou, I am willing to go back with you." Her voice was clear and firm, instantly breaking the stalemate.
Ji Wanyou had a flash of pride in his eyes, but pretended to be serious and said, "Oh? You finally figured it out?"
"Yes, elder." Ji Yewei replied respectfully, while winking at Gu Sheng, "However, I have a request, which I hope the elder can agree to."
"Tell me." Ji Wanyou raised his eyebrows slightly, seeming a little confused by Ji Yewei's sudden change.
"I want to invite my friend Gu Sheng to visit our Ji Family." Ji Yewei said with a smile, "He saved me, and I want the family to treat him well."
Ji Wanyou was secretly happy, this was exactly what she wanted, so she followed the trend and said, "Since he is your savior, I must treat him well." She turned to Gu Sheng, "Young Hero Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Sheng Although he was wary in his heart, his face remained calm. "Since Miss Ye Wei invites me, then it's better for Gu to be respectful than to obey."
In this way, the group set off for the Ji Family. The magnificence of the Ji Family far exceeds the imagination of Gu Sheng. The towering pavilions and magnificent palaces all reveal the heritage and majesty of the ancient family. The landscape in the garden is even more beautiful and strange, like a fairyland on earth.
Under the leadership of Ji Yewei, Gu Sheng visited various scenic spots in the Ji Family. They walked through winding corridors and flower-filled courtyards, and every step was a beautiful picture.
Finally, they came to Ji Ruoshui, the leader of the Ji Family clan. Ji Ruoshui is a kind and majestic old man. He looked at the young man in front of him with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Young Hero Gu, I heard Ye Wei say that you saved her?" Ji Ruoshui's voice was gentle but powerful.
