After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 203 The Legendary Soul-Eating Beast

Although the cultivators who came over wore different clothes, they were almost all from Tianyi Sect, Wanjian Sect, Fengying Sect, and Shuqiu Pavilion. The leader was none other than the chief disciple in charge of these four sects. Su Xi also saw Ning Wanshuang at the very center of the crowd.

However, she didn't see Zhou Zhiyi and the others.

When Ye Danqing and Qin Xiu saw Su Luo and the others, their expressions changed instantly. They opened their mouths as if to say something, but after glancing at Ning Wanshuang beside them, they lowered their heads again.

Gu Changhuai held his sword without saying a word, but he politely nodded to the others.

Ye smiled warmly at Su Luo and the others, "Fellow Daoist Su, Fellow Daoist Chu, we meet again."

Bai Jinyan's gaze swept quickly over the three people and one beast. Not seeing the person he wanted to see, his smile grew even more gentle. "Yes, fellow Daoists, it's been a while since we parted ways in the Xuanbing Land."

Su Luo smiled politely, but before she could say anything, Chu Wenqing quickly asked, "Why are you all here? And why are you all gathered together?"

"It's just a coincidence."

Shen Anzhi stepped out from behind Ye Qi, his face contorted with a bitter expression. "We encountered this place while being chased by those puppets. As the number of people increased, we decided to leave together for safety. As we walked, someone spotted this oasis, and we thought we'd come and rest for the night."

Chu Wenqing's eyes widened in surprise. "You were actually being chased by puppets?"

Su Xi then noticed that everyone looked exhausted, and some of them were even injured.

"yes……"

Shen Anzhi sighed, suddenly finding Chu Wenqing's reaction rather strange. "Wait, why are you so surprised? Weren't you being chased by the puppets?"

"No ah."

Chu Wenqing spread his hands, saying in a very Versailles-like manner, "We've been progressing very smoothly."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in an uproar.

"They weren't chased by the puppets?"

"How is this possible? The teleportation array is such a long distance from the oasis, it's impossible not to encounter vengeful spirits!"

"But they seemed so natural, they didn't look like they were lying! Most importantly, there wasn't a single sign of a fight on them!"

"So how did they do it?"

Just then, someone finally noticed the Soul-Devouring Beast on Su Luo's shoulder. "Speaking of which, didn't you guys notice that thing that looks like a cat but isn't? It looks kind of familiar to me."

These words immediately drew everyone's attention.

Yes! There was something strange-looking perched on the girl's shoulder. It was definitely not a spirit beast, but it also didn't have the aura of a demon beast. It was very strange.

Bai Xun's expression suddenly changed, and he asked uncertainly, "Fellow Daoist Su, that thing on your shoulder... it wouldn't be the legendary Soul-Devouring Beast, would it?"

Su Luo was surprised that someone actually recognized the Soul Devouring Beast. She didn't deny it, but touched the Soul Devouring Beast's ear and nodded with a smile.

"That's right, it really is a Soul-Devouring Beast. We've been able to make such a smooth journey thanks to it."

The crowd erupted in another uproar, and even Gu Changhuai and the others were quite surprised.

"Heavens! It's actually the legendary Soul-Devouring Beast! I thought such things were just legends!"

"No wonder they weren't attacked by the puppet army! I heard that Soul-Devouring Beasts eat souls, so those vengeful spirits must have been devoured by them when they encountered them!"

"You're right! My god, that's incredibly lucky! How did they manage to get their hands on a Soul-Devouring Beast?"

Several people were so curious about the Soul-Eating Beast that they came over to take a closer look.

Just then, Su Luo was pulled behind someone. When Su Luo looked up, she found Lin Ji standing in front of her, blocking her view.

Now Su Luo couldn't see anything else, only the boy's handsome profile. From this angle, she could also see a mole on Lin Ji's ear. This mole on the boy's snow-white ear looked incredibly alluring and captivating, making one want to touch it...

Su Luo snapped back to reality, patted her flushed face, and cursed inwardly, "I'm really crazy!"

At that moment, Lin Ji was staring coldly at those people, his tone unfriendly: "Stay away from us!"

Lin Ji had been standing at the back, his face hidden by Chu Wenqing and Su Luo, so no one paid attention to him. Now that he had stepped to the front and revealed his face, it immediately caused a collective gasp from those around him.

There's no other reason than that this young man is simply too beautiful! He's so kind, it's almost unreal!

Someone couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful... I've never seen anyone so beautiful before. Even Junior Sister Ning pales in comparison..."

Ye Danqing had already met Lin Ji once, but seeing his face again still made her a little dazed.

Qin Xiu, however, couldn't bear to see his junior sister Ning inferior to others, so he glared fiercely at Lin Ji. But after seeing his appearance clearly, his eyes widened in amazement. Yet, he quickly frowned and stared intently at Lin Ji.

Why does this boy look so familiar?

Not only Qin Xiu was staring intently at Lin Ji, but many of the female cultivators present also had their cheeks flushed and looked like they were experiencing the stirrings of first love. Even a few male cultivators were staring at Lin Ji with unblinking eyes.

These burning gazes made Lin Ji feel extremely disgusted. His face immediately darkened, and his dark eyes swept coldly around the room. The words he spoke made many people jump in fright.

"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Many people were immediately frightened and dared not look anymore, but some people still stared intently at Lin Ji, clearly not taking his words to heart.

Lin Ji was immediately filled with murderous intent, and spiritual energy began to gather in his palm.

Seeing this, Su Luo sensed something was wrong and quickly tried to stop her.

Just then, a light and melodious voice rang out from the crowd: "Why are you so angry, fellow Daoist? When others praise you or look at you, it's because they think you're good-looking; they have no intention of offending you."

Immediately afterward, a beautiful and elegant female cultivator stepped forward; the cultivator was Ning Wanshuang. She stared intently at Lin Xu, her eyes filled with admiration and amazement.

Since transmigrating into this novel, she has seen too many good-looking people. She thought Gu Changhuai and Bai Jinyan were already the most good-looking, but she never expected there to be such a handsome young man who was so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off him! He was simply an absolute beauty!

When Lin Ji saw Ning Wanshuang's face, a flash of shock quickly crossed his eyes.

How could she be here?! Didn't she already commit suicide?!

No! If she hadn't died, would she have revealed his secret?

Thinking of this, Lin Ji couldn't help but turn around and look at Su Luo.

Unexpectedly, Su Luo was also looking at the girl opposite her, clearly very interested in her.

Lin Ji's heart sank, and a cold killing intent flashed in his eyes as he turned to look at Ning Wanshuang.

This person must not be allowed to live!

Seeing Lin Ji staring intently at her, Ning Wanshuang assumed he was amazed by her beauty, so she lowered her head shyly and asked, "My name is Ning Wanshuang. May I ask your name and who your master is?"

Lin Ji was taken aback, then frowned. "You don't recognize me?"

Why is this woman acting so strangely? She's completely different from before, like she's a different person altogether.

Have I seen you before?

Ning Wanshuang said somewhat blankly, "I'm sorry, I have amnesia due to some special reasons, and I don't remember anything from before."

"Have you lost your memory?"

"Correct."

"I see."

Lin Ji's furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and the murderous intent in his heart slowly receded.

Although I don't know why this woman didn't die, since she has amnesia, there's no need to kill her for now.

Ning Wanshuang had no idea that she had just been almost killed, and was still waiting for Lin Ji's answer.

"Fellow Daoist, although we have met before, I don't remember anything about it now. Could you please tell me your name?"

After confirming that Ning Wanshuang posed no threat to him, Lin Ji's expression returned to its coldness. Without even glancing at Ning Wanshuang, he said indifferently, "Since you have lost your memory, then you don't need to remember me."

In any case, that memory was a painful one for Ning Wanshuang, one she wished she could die from. It's better if she doesn't remember it!

"How can this be? I..."

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop, stop!"

Seeing that Ning Wanshuang was about to continue pestering Lin Ji, Chu Wenqing could no longer stand it and quickly stepped forward to shield Lin Ji behind her. "Fellow Daoist Ning, since my companion is unwilling to reveal his name, please stop asking."

Ning Wanshuang bit her lower lip, somewhat unwillingly, "But I just wanted to be friends with him..."

"Hehe, no need. My companion has a Daoist partner, and his partner doesn't like female cultivators deliberately getting close to him, so let's forget about being friends."

Lin Ji looked at Chu Wenqing, his eyes full of admiration.

Chu Wenqing can be quite eloquent sometimes...

Su Luo looked away somewhat embarrassed.

Unlike Su Luo and Lin Ji's reactions, Ning Wanshuang felt shocked and disappointed upon hearing this, followed by a wave of shame.

She protested, feeling very wronged, "I... I didn't have any other intentions! I just wanted to be friends with him, after all, we knew each other before..."

Chu Wenqing simply scoffed at this.

Ning Wanshuang felt even more aggrieved.

Qin Xiu couldn't stand seeing Ning Wanshuang being bullied, so he immediately stood up and glared angrily at Chu Wenqing and Lin Ji, "Don't go too far! Junior Sister Ning just wanted to make a friend, is it necessary to humiliate her like this?"

Many disciples of the Tianyi Sect and other male cultivators who had feelings for Ning Wanshuang also spoke out to condemn Chu Wenqing.

"Junior Sister Ning has no ulterior motives; she's not that kind of person! What you've said is going too far, Chu Wenqing!"

"That's right! What gives you the right to slander Fellow Daoist Ning?!"

Chu Wenqing wasn't afraid of them at all. He shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I didn't humiliate her. I was just telling the truth. You're overthinking it."

"you!"

"Alright! Stop talking!"

Just before the situation escalated further, several senior brothers and sisters stepped forward and spoke up to stop it, including Ye Danqing.

The crowd immediately fell silent.
