Chapter 76: 76. Yazi doesn’t seem very smart.
Upon seeing Fang Zhou appear, the fury was evident on the beautiful and heroic face of the third sister as she prepared to rush down and pick a fight.
The eldest sister quickly stopped her: “Third sister, don’t be rash!”
“Big sister, it’s him who swallowed the Golden Core; killing him would allow us to retrieve it.”
The third sister said anxiously and tried to bypass the eldest sister to rush downwards.
Seeing that she wouldn’t be dissuaded, the eldest sister’s tone grew stern: “Have the wounds on your hands stopped hurting?”
The third sister shuddered and immediately ceased her movements. Her steel bones, severed by Yan Chixia a year ago and once again by Fang Zhou’s Sword Box, had almost become a psychological shadow.
Her gaze settled on the Sword Box behind Fang Zhou, a fierce light flickering in her eyes, but she refrained from charging forward.
The eldest sister finally managed to halt the third sister’s advance, only to see the seventh sister also itching to dash downwards: “Big bad guy, return my magical gourd to me!”
The eldest sister quickly called out to the sixth sister: “Sixth sister, stop little seven.”
The sixth sister hurriedly dragged the seventh sister back.
But the second sister spoke solemnly: “Big sister, leave it to me. I want to retrieve the Golden Core personally and make up for my mistake!”
You’re just a bottom-tier fighter, don’t add to the chaos.
The eldest sister felt a headache coming on.
The fourth and fifth sisters also appeared eager: “Big sister, let us do it.”
“All of you, stop messing around. Listen to me, don’t be impulsive, or I will call out the eighth sister.”
The eldest sister had no choice but to invoke the eighth sister’s name once more.
The six sisters immediately became quiet.
The eldest sister felt exhausted, for as an older sister, her authority seemed even less than that of the youngest one.
So frustrating, Nai Zi is about to explode with anger.
Fang Zhou and Han Li were both a little stunned. Upon arriving, they had been ready to face a joint assault by the seven sisters, yet what they saw resembled internal strife among them.
What’s happening here?
The eldest sister was not opposed to overwhelming Fang Zhou in a group attack to retrieve the Golden Core and the gourd, but this duo has an arsenal of wondrous spells at their disposal; they can become invisible, neutralizing her swamp, counter the third sister’s Sword Box, and even turn the control of their vines against them.
With such unpredictable spells, there might even be more trump cards up their sleeves, so the eldest sister had to act cautiously.
As the eldest sister, it was her duty to ensure the safety of her siblings without exception.
While the eldest sister pondered how to deal with Fang Zhou, she saw him pull out the seventh sister’s gourd, aim it at the seven sisters, and shout, “I order you, come to me!”
The scene fell silent, the precious gourd unresponsive.
The seven sisters showed expressions ranging from mockery to amusement.
The seventh sister, in particular, began to laugh loudly, clutching her stomach: “Ha-ha, what a fool, he can’t even use it and won’t believe it. Little gourd, quickly help me catch…”

Before she could finish, Fang Zhou hurriedly put away the gourd, keeping it out of the seventh sister’s sight.
The seventh sister was taken aback; without seeing the gourd, she was unable to control it.
Fang Zhou shook his head, an expression of regret on his face, and said to the eldest sister, “Fighting and killing really goes against the mindset of us Cultivators. How about we engage in a friendly contest instead?”
The eldest sister knitted her brows, “What kind of contest?”
With a sincere tone, Fang Zhou proposed: “If you seven sisters are able to defeat me one-on-one, I will return the Golden Core and the gourd to you, and then leave Wild Tomb Ridge immediately, never to step foot here again. If you lose, the Golden Core is mine, and you must also tell me how to use the gourd and promise never to attempt to take it back.”
Upon hearing this, the eldest sister felt there must be a catch.
But she had lived in Lanruo Temple since she was born and really couldn’t be considered as having seen much of the world or having a wealth of experience, so she couldn’t immediately sense where the problem lay.
She thought for a moment, then asked, “If you lose, how can you guarantee you’ll return the items to me?”
Fang Zhou smiled and said, “I can take a Heart Demon Oath, of course, you all need to do the same.”
The eldest sister asked doubtfully, “Are you really willing to return the Golden Core and the gourds to us?”
Fang Zhou shrugged, “We came to Lanruo Temple for an adventure. The Golden Core and the gourds were unexpected gains, losing them means little, and we can’t even use the gourds anyway, so why not gamble with them?”
The eldest sister still felt something was off but could only say to Fang Zhou, “We need to discuss it.”
The seven sisters huddled together, with the eldest sister wanting to lead her younger sisters to pinpoint the issue, only to see that they all seemed eager to try, like the attention-loving fourth and fifth sisters and the excitement-loving little seventh, finding this one-on-one novel way of playing right up their alley.
The third sister, eager to avenge that sword strike, couldn’t wait to go one-on-one with Fang Zhou, with only the sixth sister looking scared, “Don’t count me in, okay?”
She, like the little seventh sister, enjoyed fun and games, but was always averse to dangerous situations.
The eldest sister had no choice but to pin her last hopes on the second sister, “Second sister, do you think there’s a problem?”
The second sister was always clever and definitely able to spot the problem.
As expected, the second sister spoke gravely, “That man is conniving as a ghost; surely, there is deceit involved. Let me take him on personally, and he will assuredly be captured.”
The eldest sister smacked her forehead hard; this second sister was quite the worry, completely oblivious to her own limitations.
The eldest sister couldn’t help but say, “Are you really going to agree?”
All sisters, except for the sixth sister, shouted in unison, “Of course!”
Forget it, the eldest sister initially felt that if there was danger, she should face it, so as not to put her sisters at risk; it was best for her to deal with Fang Zhou.
…
While the seven sisters were discussing in their huddle, Han Li was very anxious, feeling certain that they would not agree.
After all, Fang Zhou’s suggestion was simply too frivolous, and any loose Cultivator with some time in the Cultivation World would not agree to such an absurd one-on-one challenge.
The Cultivation World was perilous; when facing an enemy, it was common practice for everyone to stand together, speaking of righteousness and morality.
If they didn’t agree, then it was time for plan B, which, in Han Li’s opinion, was an insult to intelligence.
Soon, the seven sisters had made their decision, and Han Li was prepared for them to turn hostile.
The eldest sister announced, “We’ve agreed.”
Han Li: ???
Are you seven monsters simpletons? How could you be so foolish to fall for such an obvious trap?
But the reality was right in front of her eyes, and Han Li had no choice but to accept it, though she was utterly baffled.
Since they had all agreed, Fang Zhou and the gourd children each took the Heart Demon Oath. If Fang Zhou lost, he would have to return the Golden Core and the gourds and leave Wild Tomb Ridge; if the gourd children lost, they would have to reveal how to use the gourds and promise not to reclaim the Golden Core.
Whoever breaks the oath would immediately die violently; to ensure fairness in the competition, those who do not follow the rules would also be considered oath breakers.
Fang Zhou set a rule that he would choose a gourd child to fight one-on-one inside the temple, while the rest could only wait outside for the result and not watch.
The eldest sister objected to this rule, fearing Fang Zhou would play tricks inside the temple.
But Fang Zhou argued convincingly, “I only have so many spells, and I have to face all seven of you; what if you learn them all?”
The gourd children felt it made sense, and the eldest sister had the second sister use her thousand-mile eyes to check the temple interior for any traps Fang Zhou might have set.
After the second sister reported no abnormalities in the temple, the eldest sister agreed to let Fang Zhou choose his opponent for the duel.
However, the eldest sister also put forward numerous conditions, insisting that Fang Zhou must not use traps, must not use the Sword Box, must fight fairly face-to-face, and must not seek help from others.
