Chapter 5 Ants
Xiao Lingyu was wrapped in a thick colorful light ball. He couldn't see the situation outside, but he was still a little worried. He knew that things were definitely not that simple, but he also understood Jiang Lanyue's personality. She decided to do it, so he didn't persuade him anymore.
After waiting for less than a minute, Xiao Lingyu heard the explosion again, and then a very strong energy rushed over and pushed him away with the colorful light ball.
The colorful light ball hit the wall and then disintegrated. Xiao Lingyu fell a big flop.
But he didn't care too much about whether he was injured, so he got up and ran towards Jiang Lanyue.
Jiang Lanyue looked a little weak, her delicate body was still shaking, and her face was as white as paper. When Xiao Lingyu arrived in front of her, she bent her waist and actually lowered her head and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"You... are you okay?" Xiao Lingyu held Jiang Lanyue's shaky body and asked with concern.
"It's okay." Jiang Lanyue stood up strongly again, stretched out her fingers and touched the ancient book on the jade table. Xiao Lingyu did not notice that the silver moon short knife that was originally held by Jiang Lanyue had broken into two pieces and was lying quietly and dull on the ground.
Without the gray light shield to block it, Jiang Lanyue's jade-like fingers could easily touch the cover of the book, but unexpectedly it suddenly rose at this moment.
A gray air flow surged out of the book and rushed towards Jiang Lanyue's body.
Jiang Lanyue thought it was dangerous, so she immediately reflected a circle of colorful lights gushed out around her body, wrapping her body. In desperation, she forgot to protect her with Xiao Lingyu.
The gray airflow seemed to be unable to stay outside for a long time. She was eager to find a support, and after hitting a wall at Jiang Lanyue, she turned around and rushed into Xiao Lingyu's body with lightning speed.
Xiao Lingyu also exclaimed at that time. Unfortunately, he did not have any cultivation level and could not avoid the extremely fast airflow, so he was inevitably hit. He was so scared that he stood on the spot.
Jiang Lanyue secretly blamed herself and asked Xiao Lingyu with concern: "Are you okay?"
"No, it's okay, it's so strange. It's like I was blown by a gust of cold wind just now. Apart from that, there was no other special feeling." Xiao Lingyu felt it a little bit self-sense, and then said a little suspiciously.
He and Jiang Lanyue both took it for granted that the gray airflow must be a mechanism, and they are plotting against those who dared to touch the book, but the facts did not seem to be the case.
What's strange is that after a gray air flow came out of the ancient book, it turned into a pile of ashes, and it was blown by the breeze without any trace.
"Some things are very weird, you, a mortal, cannot detect them. Come and let me check it out for you."
As she said that, Jiang Lanyue pulled Xiao Lingyu to her side, and then looked at Xiao Lingyu with her spiritual sense. But what surprised her was that even though her spiritual sense cultivation was not weak, she could not find where the gray airflow was hidden, and she did not find the slight difference between Xiao Lingyu and before.
"It's strange, why is this happening?" Jiang Lanyue said with a frown, looking deeply suspicious.
"Can we go out now?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Okay, that mountain wall should be able to pass through directly." Jiang Lanyue nodded and said.
Just as Jiang Lanyue was about to take Xiao Lingyu away from the ancient god cave first, the space above the two of them suddenly fluctuated violently, and then a scene that surprised Xiao Lingyu appeared.
The violently fluctuating space suddenly broke, and a black hole that was more than one person high slowly appeared above the two of them.
"Is this?" Xiao Lingyu asked in a daze.
"It's okay, someone is coming to find me." Jiang Lanyue pulled Xiao Lingyu behind her and said calmly.
Sure enough, in just a moment, a man in a gorgeous dress walked out of the black hole.
The man was handsome, with wide eyebrows and light hair, looking very graceful and elegant. Behind him were two followers wearing armor and helmets, each holding a simple sword.
"Cousin Lan Yue, I finally found you. If you are later, I'm afraid I will be punished even if I go back." The man walked out of the black hole, hugged his hands into fists, and said very politely to Jiang Lanyue.
"Hmph, I'm sure you took the task of finding me by yourself. Isn't it just to go out and take a look? Is there anything to make a fuss?" Jiang Lanyue said with a frown.
"Lan Yue's cousin still knows me best, and I care about Lan Yue's cousin. Let's go back early. It's time for my cousin to come out to see you. Don't mess with my uncle's anger." The man responded calmly.
"Please use my father to suppress me. If I'm afraid of him, I won't sneak out. However, I'm really tired of playing outside. You come here and I'll go back with you." Jiang Lanyue was actually very guilty. She said she was not afraid of her father, but she was a little awe in her heart. Since she had been found, it's better to go back, so as not to attract her father to go out in person. At that time, she would inevitably be punished.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Lingyu took a step forward and asked reluctantly.
"Well, it's time to go home." Jiang Lanyue nodded, and her expression was a little reluctant. The days she spent with Xiao Lingyu were the happiest time she had since she was born.
"Huh? Mortal?" The man who called Jiang Lanyue to speak out strangely for his cousin. He took two steps forward, walked to Xiao Lingyu, and also looked at Xiao Lingyu from head to toe.
"My name is Xiao Lingyu, I have seen this... cousin." Since the other party was a relative of Jiang Lanyue's family, Xiao Lingyu naturally wanted to be polite and took the initiative to say hello. He didn't know what to call him. Seeing the other party's young appearance, he finally called him a cousin.
"Hmph! A mortal, like an ant, dares to call me my cousin?!"
But the other party was not grateful at all. With a wave of the sleeves, a sharp energy swept towards Xiao Lingyu.
"Rareless!" Jiang Lanyue didn't expect that her cousin would be so impulsive. While scolding, she also exuded a colorful light to face the sharp energy.
Two kinds of strength burst out in front of Xiao Lingyu. Although he was not directly attacked, his body was pushed away and hit a cold and hard stone wall.
Falling down from the stone wall, Xiao Lingyu felt insulting pain all over his body, and he couldn't help but spray a few mouthfuls of blood.
"Huh? He's not dead?" The man seemed a little surprised to see Xiao Lingyu still had a breath. Although his strength was not very strong just now, it was definitely not something that a mortal could withstand.
Jiang Lanyue hurriedly ran to Xiao Lingyu, helped Xiao Lingyu up with her body close to her body, and helped Xiao Lingyu dry the blood on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Jiang Lanyue's attentive and caring appearance, the man's eyes narrowed and he secretly figured out Xiao Lingyu's identity. No matter how he looked at him, he thought Xiao Lingyu was just a mortal, but why did his cousin Lanyue care so much?
"Hmph! Has our Jiang family master been reduced to the point where he even shows off his might in front of mortals?" Jiang Lanyue pointed at the man and cursed a little angry.
"It's my fault. I was just a momentary negligence just now. Please forgive me, my cousin."
The man quickly admitted his mistake and continued, "But, cousin, he is just a mortal, and is a world of difference from us. It is better for us not to affect the lives of these mortals."
But in their hearts, the man was very dissatisfied with Jiang Lanyue's rise for a mortal. Any existence like them would care about the life or death of a mortal? In their usual cultivators with a slightly lower strength would not look at them.
"Cousin, it's getting late now, it's time for us to go back." The man saw that Jiang Lanyue was still very angry, so he changed the subject and urged him.
"I'll get his wounds right first." Jiang Lanyue said, then blew a mouthful of colorful light at Xiao Lingyu, and then said softly, "I really should leave. If you have the fate, see you again in our divine realm."
"Well, see the God Realm, beg you." After the colorful light entered the body, Xiao Lingyu immediately felt that his whole body was in good condition. When he heard Jiang Lanyue say goodbye again, he did not try to keep him and waved.
Jiang Lanyue knew the meaning of "beat bye", so she also said "beat bye" to Xiao Lingyu, and then jumped towards the black hole.
"By bye?" The man was a little suspicious, but he didn't think much about it. It was beyond his expectations that Jiang Lanyue could agree to go home with him so readily.
"It's ridiculous that you, a mortal, dares to attack my cousin even if you are a mortal!
When Jiang Lanyue and others entered the black hole, the man's contemptuous words rang in Xiao Lingyu's ears.
Xiao Lingyu originally wanted to reply, but there was only a very narrow gap left in the black hole. He saw Jiang Lanyue's beautiful eyes with tears in her eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel lost, and naturally she couldn't say anything.
However, just as the gap was about to disappear, a silver light flew out from it.
The silver light was extremely fast and hit Xiao Lingyu in the blink of an eye, but the colorful light immediately burst out from Xiao Lingyu's body, blocking the silver light outside.
After a bang, Xiao Lingyu's body had an intimate contact with the cold stone wall again.
In the space channel, Jiang Lanyue asked her cousin angrily: "Can't you see that he is my friend? You were still attacking him before the space portal disappeared? Fortunately, you are a god-level master, and you will attack a mortal one after another. Are you shameless?"
"Since he is a mortal, the lady shouldn't have left a bunch of essence on him. If my uncle knew about this, he would definitely not be happy." The man replied without fear.
"How far away your ideal is, you will be as far away from me in the future!" Jiang Lanyue was so angry that she trembled. Unfortunately, she could not go back, so she could only reply as she learned what Xiao Lingyu said before.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know how dangerous it was just now. If Jiang Lanyue hadn't left a bunch of natal essence on him, he would have been plotted to death by the man.
He endured the pain in his body and struggled to stand up, but he saw a fine silver needle on the ground. Then he remembered that it was the silver needle that suddenly flew out to attack him.
Xiao Lingyu is not a stupid person either. He could naturally guess that it was the man who attacked him. He remembered that his hot face had ushered in the other party's cold butt. Of course, he had no good feelings for the man, but he could also think of the gap between him and others, so he could only curse a few angrily.
"This silver needle should be a high-end product. This thing is worth keeping. If it is, I said it is. If I become a great man one day, I must give him a shot!"
Xiao Lingyu picked up the silver needle, and went to the jade table to pick up Jiang Lanyue's silver moon short knife that had been broken into two pieces. He did not dare to stay here for a moment, and walked directly to the still closed stone wall at the exit.
