Uncle Qiu looked frightened. “We’ve entered Death Valley already. What are we gonna do now? Death Valley after dark is…”
Uncle Qiu wasn’t too capable a cultivator. He had followed Feng Wu all the way to Northern Border City and had stayed a Level 7 Spiritual Master ever since.
As for Qiuling, she was even weaker. As a mere Level 1 Spiritual Master, she could do little to help…
Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Feng Wu felt a disturbance in her mind, and there was a non-stop buzzing sound in her ears.
She smiled a little. Finally, she was a Level 4 Spiritual Master.
She had guessed right: her cultivation the second time round not only enabled her to strengthen her skills, it was also surprisingly efficient.
In less than ten days, she had leveled up four times.
Feng Wu felt that there was still room for more progress. As a result, she didn’t emerge from her oblivious state, but remained fully absorbed in her cultivation.
“Uncle Qiu, what are we gonna do now?”
Qiuling ran out of the carriage behind Feng Wu’s and rushed to Uncle Qiu’s side, looking indignant. “Not only did Young Master and Miss Liu run off, they took all the guards with them. It’ll be dark soon. What are we supposed to do in the middle of nowhere?”
Uncle Qiu was equally flustered, but he managed to keep the look on his face calm and said coolly, “Death Valley is full of peril, and even more so after dark. I think the young master meant us harm.”
Qiuling said resentfully, “Can they be any more obvious about it? Of course they mean us harm. They’re only too glad to be able to get rid of Madam and Miss like this! They’re simply evil!”
Blue veins popped on Uncle Qiu’s forehead. “What does Miss Wu think? She’s so smart. I bet she’ll have a plan.”
Qiuling smacked her forehead. “Of course! I’ll go ask Miss Wu!”
However, when Qiuling lifted the thick curtain of the carriage, Feng Wu’s beautiful mother raised her index finger to her lips and gestured at Qiuling. ” Shhh — ”
Seeing Feng Wu stitting there cross-legged with her eyes closed and the abundant spiritual energy circling her, Qiuling saw right away that Feng Wu was in the process of leveling up. This wasn’t the right time to disturb her at all!
Uncle Qiu was baffled when he saw this. Cultivation? Miss Wu could cultivate now?
Because Feng Wu was wearing her Concealing Jade, Uncle Qiu couldn’t tell what level Feng Wu was at. However, the fact that she could cultivate again was enough to make Uncle Qiu wild with joy.
“Miss Wu has resumed her cultivation?! Our Miss Wu… is a cultivator again?!” Rapturous, Uncle Qiu took Qiuling by the arm with wide eyes. “Is it true?”
The excitement also brought tears to Qiuling’s eyes and she nodded solemnly. “Yes! Miss Wu can cultivate now! In the foreseeable future, she’ll be so amazing that all those people in the imperial capital will never see her the same way again!”
“Good! This is great! Great!” Tears of excitement streaked Uncle Qiu’s cheeks. “I have no regrets even if I die here today!”
He had been with Feng Wu since she was little. He had been there when her fame reached its peak, and when she fell. How could he not be exhilarated when he found out that Feng Wu could cultivate again?!
However, at that moment, the sonorous and resentful howls of wolves came from the mountains of Death Valley!
” Aroo… ”
Uncle Qiu and Qiuling exchanged looks and both saw fear in each other’s eyes!
