CHAPTER 36: SU RUYUE VS WU LANYIN!

Su Ruyue asked, feeling distressed. They were the only three people chosen from the Mo Clan to enter the Divine Cauldron Sect.

When leaving, the Clan leader clearly instructed them to give hands to each other and make progress together. But suddenly, out of the blue, Zhiran’s behaviour changed.

Although his realm increased somehow, he began to clash with Tianyu out of nowhere. Su Ruyue couldn’t understand.

If she could, she wanted to bring them back together again, but from the look on Zhiran’s eyes, it seemed impossible.

"What happened? Sigh...Ruyue, there is no need to go into details."

Mo Zhiran saw worry in Ruyue’s eyes and sighed bitterly.

He couldn’t tell her that he was reborn, and in his previous life, he was betrayed by Tianyu, right?

He couldn’t exactly tell her that Tianyu was the hero and he was just the side character destined to be disposed of on his behalf in the eyes of the heavens, right?

"Just think that our vision and path don’t match. And since we already left the clan and entered the path to immortality, there is no need to forcefully bring us together."

"You don’t have to care too much about such petty connections."

Zhiran said and then stopped Ruyue with his hand, who was about to say something again. He didn’t want to talk about such things anymore.

"Forget about these things. Rather...where did you go before? Why can’t I find you anywhere? Do you know what will happen if they call your name while you are gone?"

Zhiran asked with genuine concern, changing the topic entirely.

"Eh? Oh...I just went to the Affairs Hall to redeem something. They didn’t call my name, though, right?"

Su Ruyue also realized her gaffe and hurriedly asked while looking at the Arena that was busy with clashes of the Outer sect disciples.

"Fortunately, not. But...what is so important to redeem at this time?"

Zhiran asked, looking at Su Ruyue in confusion. Something that had to be redeemed at this time must be extremely important, right?

But he couldn’t think of what that could be.

"Umm...d-don’t worry, it is nothing important. Hey, why is my turn so late?"

But to his surprise, Su Ruyue avoided his gaze and quickly tried to change the subject, as if she didn’t want to talk about it, while a faint blush crept across her cheeks.

’Hmm? Is she hiding something from me?’

Zhiran was stunned by her sudden change and wanted to inquire further when he heard the announcement of Elder Qui Ronghai.

[Fifth Arena, Wu Lanyin vs Su Ruyue!]

"Yes, it’s finally my turn. Okay, I have to go. Don’t forget to cheer me up, Zhiran."

As soon as Qui Ronghai finished shouting, Su Ruyue hurriedly left her place while asking Zhiran to cheer her up. She didn’t even let him talk back before directly entering the arena.

She seemed more eager to leave his side than for the competition.

’This girl...what the hell is she trying to hide from me?’

Zhiran, of course, saw her behaviour and stood speechless. He really couldn’t think of anything that needed to be hidden from him.

"Whoa...it is finally Wu Lanyin’s turn. Haha...that girl is cooked now."

"Damn, is that a girl? Look at her body. Even I am envious."

"So muscular!"

"Those thick thighs... damn, I can only imagine what it’d feel like if they were around my neck."

"..."

"Bro, if those thighs are around your neck, you will suffocate to death. Do you want to die?"

"Hey, I don’t mind if I can take a peek at that garden."

"..."

Just as Zhiran was speechless at Su Ruyue’s behavior, he heard the crowd suddenly riled up all of a sudden. And it seemed it was because of the appearance of someone called Wu Lanyin, Su Ruyue’s opponent.

’Wu Lanyin, why do I feel like I know her?’

Zhiran felt that he had heard that name somewhere and that might have left a deep enough impression for him to remember even now.

So, out of curiosity, he looked at the opponent of Su Ruyue at the other side of the arena, only to be stunned speechless.

That was because what he saw in front of him wasn’t the slim and graceful girl he had imagined, but a tall, muscular, and burly woman, more so than most men he knew.

Her arms were thick with defined muscle, her skin slightly tanned, and her sharp eyes carried the confidence of someone who could crush a boulder with her bare hands.

To be honest, even Zhiran felt a little jealous of her body.

Of course, it wasn’t that Wu Lanyin looked bad or anything, as any cultivator with decent strength looked far better than the model in his previous life.

It was just, she looked too intimidating with her jacked figure. She was clearly a body/physical cultivator.

’No wonder I remember her name. How can I forget?’

Zhiran thought while subconsciously clutching his legs, protecting his ball as he recalled some incident from his previous life.

If he remembered correctly, Wu Lanyin was actually betrayed by her Daoist companion in his previous life for a pretty, slim girl.

But that wasn’t an incident worth remembering. Rather, it was what happened after that.

After knowing about the betrayal, this Wu Lanyin went directly to her Daoist companion and broke both his eggs forcefully right in front of the sect.

Zhiran was about to leave the sect at that time and saw such a gruesome incident with his own eyes.

The painful scream of that guy still echoed faintly in his ears even now.

’This girl is too ruthless. Sigh...my Su Ruyue has no chance.’

Zhiran shook his head bitterly after seeing a grim look on Su Ruyue’s face. Apparently, she also realized her bad luck.

Although both of them were in the same realm, Wu Lanyin was a body cultivator after all. There was no way she could win.

’But...why is she not forfeiting the match?’

Zhiran thought, seeing that Ruyue didn’t abandon the match but took out a sharp sword from her storage bag.
