Chapter 118: Female Lead Buff, Endless Troubles!
***
“Come out, I know you’re nearby. Let’s come out and have a talk.”
Lin Muyu walked toward the trapped Mo Youhua with a calm expression, casually placing the wooden stick in her hand gently on the ground, maintaining a harmless appearance on her face throughout.
She put on an act as if she really wanted to have a proper conversation with the wolf demon.
Of course, whether she truly wanted to talk, only Lin Muyu herself knew.
That weapon she put down was just an ordinary wooden stick, nothing more.
And Xiaomu’s main body had already been cautiously stored in Xiaotao’s space, ready to be retrieved at a moment’s notice with just a thought.
“You’re the Monkey King? What kind of ridiculous name is that?”
The wolf demon’s voice came from all directions, carrying a few traces of ethereal coldness.
But it never showed itself from beginning to end, obviously still observing from the shadows.
Lin Muyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this title, then suddenly remembered.
This was just something she had blurted out during her previous sneak attack, and she hadn’t expected the wolf demon to remember it.
“That’s right, I am indeed the Monkey King!”
Lin Muyu lifted her small head slightly, her face full of pride.
In terms of momentum alone, she felt she had already gained the upper hand!
“Heh, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator dares to claim the title of Monkey King. How laughable, utterly laughable.”
The wolf demon’s rough voice burst into laughter, seemingly mocking Lin Muyu, but it still didn’t show itself.
Caution was in the wolf’s nature, it was skilled at seizing prey’s weaknesses and then delivering a fatal blow.
“What I call myself is none of your business, you underground wolf demon!”
She deliberately contrasted “Monkey King” with “underground,” clearly mocking it.
But the wolf demon remained very calm, not only unangered but continued to ask leisurely:
“So, you, a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator, dare to come rescue her so confidently. Are you truly prepared to sacrifice yourself for righteousness, or are you just bluffing, or perhaps… you have other motives?”
The wolf demon’s tone was haunting, as if it had already seen through Lin Muyu’s thoughts.
Lin Muyu curled her lips and stopped wasting words with it, walking straight toward the bound Mo Youhua.
Indeed, this wolf demon was more cautious than she had imagined, cunning like a fox. Even though she had gone this far, it still wouldn’t show itself.
Since that was the case, she would just rescue the person directly. She didn’t believe that when she was about to rescue the hostage, this wolf demon could still hold back from making a move.
Lin Muyu quickly reached Mo Youhua’s side.
The wolf demon hadn’t expected her to be so reckless, actually approaching such an obvious bait directly.
But this situation suited its intentions perfectly, and it felt somewhat secretly pleased.
Indeed, this woman was just a flat-chested, brainless fool!
If Lin Muyu could hear its thoughts, she would definitely give it a beating right then and there.
She was clearly just having her figure concealed by the loose Daoist robe, her figure was actually quite impressive!
But just as Lin Muyu’s fingertips touched Mo Youhua.
From the previously empty air, a massive wolf claw covered in gray fur suddenly shot out, carrying fierce wind as it struck directly at Lin Muyu’s back!
“Got her!”
The wolf demon’s heart filled with wild joy.
Although it was already at late Foundation Establishment cultivation, if something could be resolved with a sneak attack, why bother with a head-on confrontation?
Besides, this girl had ambushed it before, what was wrong with ambushing her back?
However, the scene it had envisioned of Lin Muyu panicking and being unable to dodge never appeared.
Instead, Lin Muyu turned her head and smiled gently in its direction.
The next second, Lin Muyu’s figure instantly vanished from the spot, and the tightly bound Mo Youhua disappeared along with her.
Both of them vanished into thin air!
The wolf claw struck empty air, missing its target completely.
Only a bead fell to the ground, coincidentally avoiding its attack.
“Where are they?!”
The wolf demon was both shocked and angry, instinctively reaching for that bead.
But just as its claw was about to touch the bead, a faster sword light broke through the air, shooting straight toward its face!
The wolf demon instantly sensed mortal danger and instinctively tried to dodge, but how could a Golden Core stage cultivator’s attack be so easily avoided?
Moreover, the one wielding the sword was a prodigy of Qinglan Sect, far beyond what ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators could compare to.
“What… is this?”
The wolf demon’s consciousness gradually became blurred. It felt as if its body was floating, and a headless wolf corpse spurting hot blood appeared hazily before its eyes.
It used its last bit of strength to identify it, finally realizing in a daze.
That was its own body!
“Thud.”
The wolf demon’s head hit the ground heavily with a dull sound.
The headless wolf body also collapsed immediately, blood quickly soaking the soil beneath.
“That was close!”
Seeing that it was completely quiet outside, Lin Muyu emerged from the space.
She raised her hand to pat her soft chest, her face still showing some lingering fear.
The wolf demon’s speed just now was abnormally fast, just a little more and she would have been pierced through by that wolf claw.
“This wolf demon… was at late Foundation Establishment cultivation.”
Su Wanqing had also rushed over by now. Looking at the wolf demon’s corpse on the ground, she spoke to Lin Muyu with a grave expression.
She clearly remembered that Lin Muyu had previously said this wolf demon was only at early Foundation Establishment.
But now it seemed the opponent’s cultivation had jumped so much, there must be some secret hidden in this.
“Late Foundation Establishment?”
Lin Muyu’s pupils contracted slightly, her face full of surprise:
“No way? If it really had late Foundation Establishment cultivation, how could I have knocked it out with one stick during my sneak attack?”
“Unless…”
Before she could finish speaking, an aged and sinister voice suddenly came from the direction of the cave entrance:
“Heh heh, you actually dared to kill this old man’s pet. Since that’s the case, you’ll all stay here and become this old man’s pets!”
The two looked toward the source of the voice, only to see that the cave entrance, previously piled with gold, silver, and jewels, had revealed its true appearance.
It was a cave paved with corpses everywhere!
The air was filled with a pungent, rotting stench that assaulted their senses.
The corpses at the cave entrance were still trembling continuously, gathering together as if assembling into some massive creature.
And that huge golden ingot that had been embedded in the wolf demon’s skull had also shed its disguise, exposing its true form.
It was actually a massive skull covered in cracks!
That giant skull seemed to have consciousness, being lifted above the cave by a mass of black mist.
“How could this be…”
Su Wanqing looked at the increasingly dense black mist at the cave entrance and the skeleton giant gradually taking shape, her pupils suddenly contracting, her voice filled with disbelief:
“How could such a demonic creature exist around Qinglan Sect’s territory?!”
Lin Muyu looked at the shocked Su Wanqing but simply nodded calmly, her expression showing a few traces of expected composure.
Sure enough, with the female lead around, how could things end so easily?
Was this perhaps another form of female lead buff?
Fortunately, she hadn’t rushed to bring Mo Youhua out of the space just now.
However, Lin Muyu felt quite fortunate that she hadn’t greedily collected all those gold, silver, and jewels into her space.
Otherwise, if she had let these rotting skeletons into her space, she might as well not have the space at all!
“Don’t worry, no one will come to save you… This old man is the master of this place!!”
