Chapter 25: The Beauty Appears

  A beautiful young girl appeared, her face as white as jade, with delicate eyebrows and bright eyes that sparkled like waves. Her long black hair fluttered slightly in the wind, and her white dress billowed out behind her, giving off an air of carefree elegance. Despite being in a dimly lit forest on a hazy night, she exuded a sense of coldness, standing there in just a simple white dress that couldn't conceal her extraordinary aura, as if even the most discerning person in this world couldn't find any flaws in her.

  Duan is one of the few beauties in the world.

  Looking at the sudden girl, Chen Luo's expression was slightly stunned, and his hand that was about to take the second sapphire mouse also slowly retracted. His eyes were even more unrestrainedly scanning the opponent's body up and down. He was a worldly person, always having a favorable impression of beautiful women, but he was also a cautious person, guessing the girl's strength and intentions while observing her.

  "Are you saying this thing is yours?" Chen Luo asked somewhat uncertainly, although he was a vulgar person who liked to look at beautiful women, but it was just looking and wouldn't give up the precious blue mouse just because the other party was a beauty.

  "What's wrong?" The girl's beautiful eyes stared at the unconscious sapphire mouse in the maze, her eyes showing a hint of surprise. Then she looked up at Chen Luo, raised an eyebrow and asked softly: "You don't look very old, you should be a student from the academy, right? Are you here alone without your teacher?"

  "What?" Chen's eyebrows furrowed and he became alert, a hint of a smile playing on his lips as he said, "Could it be that you want to kill me to silence me?"

  "Ah, how did you think of that." The girl seemed to have not expected the other party to understand her meaning in this way, slightly shaking her head and apologetically said: "Don't misunderstand, there are many demons lurking around Qingliang Lake, it's likely to be very dangerous for you alone."

  "Is that so?" Chen Luo didn't have the mood to chat with her, estimating that this woman's cultivation was not low, and cautiously asked: "You say this formation is set up by you, but what evidence do you have?"

  "Hehe……" The young girl smiled faintly, taking out a small bottle from her waistband, identical to the one in the Soul-Confusing Array on the ground. She saw Chen Luo still somewhat disbelieving, raised her slender jade hand, and her sleeve slowly fell away, revealing her pale wrist and delicate fingers that moved continuously, creating complex and mysterious symbols at her fingertips. The symbols flowed and converged into four characters, which fell to the ground one after another, then condensed and merged into a formation diagram identical to the Soul-Confusing Array beside it.

  Seeing this scene, Chen Luo basically could confirm that the little girl was not lying, and the formation trap was indeed set up by her. However, this thing is after all a precious Blue Rat, worth a city, can't just give it up like this? Just as Chen Luo was hesitating whether to take action and snatch it away, the girl seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled slightly: "You mustn't have any wicked ideas, if it were other magical beasts, I could give them to you, but this little guy is very important to me, and it took me three whole years."

  The girl's smile was light and natural, like a spring breeze that seemed to melt everything. Her voice was especially pleasant to hear as she laughed and said: "I don't know what your cultivation is, but before you make a move, think carefully." As she spoke, she raised her hand and pointed, the tip of her finger shining with a faint light that condensed into a bolt of lightning over a foot long. Although the lightning was not like thunder, it contained powerful spiritual energy.

  Master!

  This little girl has already opened up the spiritual sea, and her strength is far from that of an ordinary primary witch. Moreover, judging from the way she set up the formation just now, her mental power is indeed not weak either.

  Thinking of this, Chen Luo didn't stay any longer. Since he couldn't beat the other party, it was better to leave early. Anyway, he had already stolen one, and before the opponent discovered it, the farther away he went, the better. At that moment, without saying goodbye, he turned around and left directly. About 100 meters later, he suddenly accelerated his speed and ran wildly.

  Looking at the quickly disappearing figure in the woods, the girl felt inexplicably amused and asked, "Am I that scary?" She shook her head, not thinking about it anymore, walked over, slightly bent down, carefully picked up the unconscious blue mouse, cradled it in her hands, gently stroking it, and softly said: "Little Xiangxiang, you made me search so hard. It's all my fault for bringing you guys here to play three years ago and then losing you. But... I finally found you! Hehe... Hmm? Where's your partner Chouchou? Why isn't it with you? I clearly saw the two of your tracks yesterday, how come only you're left?"

  It seems that the two azure mice originally belonged to a girl, but three years ago they were accidentally lost in the dense forest of the spiritual realm. To find them, the girl spent a full three years, but now only one is left, leaving her very puzzled.

  "Didn't you guys get separated yesterday?"

  The girl furrowed her eyebrows in deep thought, her face also revealing worry. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and looked at the Soul-Confusing Array on the ground. Just a moment ago, she realized that she hadn't removed the array before picking up the Azure Mouse, yet she didn't receive any constraint from the array.

  Could it be that the Soul-Confusing Formation I set up myself has already lost its effect?

  The girl slightly squatted down, carefully staring at the formation, and found that the formation was distorted, and the structure of the formation was also somewhat disordered. She knew that the formation had lost its magic.

  "I set up the Soul-Confusing Array with the Golden Jade Spirit Stone as the eye of the array, plus my spiritual strength, it should have lasted at least a month. How could it lose its effect in just six days?"

  The girl knew that the natural environment would never let her own Soul-Array lose its effect, but if it wasn't for the destruction of the natural environment, how could that array...

  Is it man-made destruction?

  The girl suddenly thought of the blue-clothed youth who looked clean and pale earlier, was it him? It shouldn't be possible, he didn't seem to have any spiritual fluctuations at all, and even if this youth knew how to use arrays, she didn't think he had the ability to break through her own array. What's more bizarre is that after carefully staring at the array for a long time, she found no other spiritual traces, not even a single thread.

  What's going on here?

  The girl seemed to be in a daze, she was certain that her Soul Array could not be naturally destroyed, but if it were the boy from earlier, he didn't seem like an array master. Even if he was an array master, the girl didn't think he had the ability to break through. Taking a step back, even if this boy really did have the ability to break through, shouldn't there at least be some spiritual residue left behind? Could it be that his attainments in the field of arrays had already reached the level of transcending the mundane?

  Is it possible?

  The answer is affirmative, she thinks it's impossible.

  I originally wanted to chase after him and ask that boy in blue, but as I walked all the way there, I couldn't find any trace of the boy again.

  "That's strange..."

  The girl thought for a moment, still unable to come up with a reasonable explanation. She looked at the lovely sky blue mouse in her palm and puckered her mouth, saying apologetically: "Xiang Xiang, don't worry, I'll definitely find your little partner Chou Chou as soon as possible." Carefully putting Xiang Xiang into her bag, the girl gazed up at the hazy moonlight in the night sky and murmured: "Tomorrow is the day of the Huo Yun altar worship, huh. Tomorrow, after trying my luck, I'll definitely find Chou Chou."

  ……

  Chen Luo sprinted all the way back to the cave, using his Shadow Shift technique to move at an extremely fast speed. He secretly observed for a long time and only relaxed when he found that no one was chasing after him. Shaking his head, he couldn't help but laugh: "Having weak spiritual power is really not cool, even stealing treasure has become so sneaky." Thinking back two years ago, when his spiritual power was still strong, he had at least provoked the Central Academy and threatened the Light Temple's master. How did he end up like this now? If it were two years ago, no matter if that little girl was just a beginner wizard or an advanced one, as long as Chen Luo was in a bad mood, sending her to the depths of the abyss would only take a few breaths.

  This time when you go back, while improving your cultivation, you must also quickly recover your spiritual power.

  After Chen Luo made up his mind, he played with the sapphire mouse for a while before putting it into the pocket of his clothes and fell asleep.

  He didn't know how long he had slept, but in a daze, Chen Luo heard Niu Wen shouting his name. When he opened his eyes, he indeed saw Niu Wen's dark and large face.

  "Get up quickly! Something's happened!"

  Chen Luo suddenly sat up and said: "What? That little girl has caught up?"

  "What's that, little girl? What did you say?" No sooner had Niu Ying's words fallen than a deafening roar came from somewhere, causing the mud in the cave to fall off in chunks.

  Chen Luo brushed off the dust on his head, shook his brain, and asked in confusion: "What's going on?" As he spoke, he quickly climbed out of the cave entrance. At this time, the sky was already bright, and although the sun had just risen, its light was not as brilliant as that of the Xuan Huang world.

  Rumble...

  Another loud rumble came, Chen Luo looked back and saw thick smoke rising in the eastern sky.

  "What's going on over there? Why such a big commotion?"

  "I don't know either." The cow shook its head and asked, "Shall we go take a look?"

  Chen nodded and the two of them rushed over.
