Chapter 1048: Chapter 505: Xiao Pizi’s 40k Immortal Cultivation World

The possibility of being crushed to death by a square pig is small, but not zero.

Fortunately, Zhang Ze reacted quickly. Almost reaching the final conclusion, he raised his hands, a golden light shone, protecting his face.

The next moment, he was sat into the ground like a nail by Li.

Li sat dazed on the ground, giggling, looking as though she hadn’t figured out what just happened.

Fuji tapped Li’s pig leg with the Black Sword, "Oi! You’re going to crush Zhang Ze to death."

"Huh? Impossible, I’m so light." Li tried to scratch her head, but no matter how she stretched her hand, it couldn’t reach.

Fuji sighed, ignoring Li, she spat twice into her palm, preparing to dig Zhang Ze out with her own strength using the Black Sword as a shovel.

But before she could move, Zhang Ze dug himself out from the other side.

Jumping out from the soil, Zhang Ze first lifted the Innate Dao Body spell from Li, then lightly kicked her.

"Open your mouth."

Li didn’t hesitate and obediently opened her mouth wide.

Zhang Ze directly took out two boxes from the Hundred Treasures Bag. After confirming that they contained Soul Reviving Pills with a freshening breath, he threw them, box and all, into Li’s mouth.

The medicine was strong, and a light shone brightly in Li’s dusty eyes.

"Ah...."

Zhang Ze thought Li was going to speak, leaned in, "What do you want to say?"

"Woa...."

After forming the words for a while, Li didn’t say anything; she only let out a long, minty burp.

"Burp..."

Zhang Ze was caught off guard and took it all in.

Li, now fully awake, chuckled, then couldn’t help but burp again.

"Time to take a bath." Little Fuji, somehow holding a large leaf above her head, stood to the side, making sarcastic comments.

Zhang Ze, "..."

A minute later, changing his clothes, Zhang Ze looked at the now smaller Li and asked.

"How long have you been here?"

This was Zhang Ze’s most concerning issue; although the young deer lady’s claim of ’ten plus years’ was clearly nonsense to trick him, based on the number of Water Spirit Cores used to heal Li, it’s evident she’s been here for quite a while.

If that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean he had been lying on that Gobi Desert for ages?

Li tilted her head, starting to count her fingers.

While Li was counting on her fingers, Zhang Ze turned to Little Fuji.

"Do you have any sense of time?"

At that time, Little Fuji was hiding in the Beast Taming Ring with him, so her perception of time should synchronize with his.

Little Fuji shook her head, "No idea, I feel just like you; eyes shut, eyes open, and then swoosh, we came out."

Little Fuji muttered to herself, and eventually, Li finished calculating the days.

Calculating based on those fruit core-like Water Spirit Cores.

During the hazy period, Li occasionally heard people talking about those fruit cores being offered twice a day to the guardian.

Judging by the number of cores on the stone platform, if nobody cleared them away, Li was at least unconscious for seven days.

So, the problem might lie in the process of entering Baiyujing.

Li and possibly Sect Leader Lu entered earlier, while it seemed like Zhang Ze got stuck, and for quite a while.

Too broad maybe?

Was Li’s earlier condition related to this sudden entry?

Zhang Ze shook his head, deciding not to speculate further. He bent down, picked up Li with one hand, remarked on her weight gain, and then left the cave using an Escape Technique.

He planned to ask Su La.

Seeing Zhang Ze leave, Little Fuji picked up the Black Sword and followed along, wagging her tail.

...

In the village of Half Deer Man, Su La was at a loss, unable to understand what the Divine Envoy intended.

Why, after his plans were exposed, the Divine Envoy didn’t rage and purge the village or flee to call for help?

This was entirely different from the stories Su La had heard.

Most importantly, why was he so powerful?

Clearly just a basic white-clad figure, Su La could duplicate his spells too.

But why? Su La looked up at the halted jade feather arrows and villagers; she couldn’t understand.

This power clearly exceeded the specifications of a white-clothed Divine Envoy.

For a moment, fear crept in...

"Slurp~"

Well, not fear, because every time Su La thought about something scary, the golden circular-nosed wolf would slurp and give her a lick, then lean against her and nuzzle.

A very reassuring and warm feeling emanated from it, dispelling Su La’s inner gloom.

As for her grandfather...

Grandfather was no longer making strange noises, but comfortably groaning.

The stone doll in overalls was not tormenting her grandfather; on the contrary, it was truly healing and massaging him. His hunched back of decades had straightened.

Judging by the rosy complexion, he seemed to have become ten years younger.

A strange thought popped into Su La’s mind.

’Perhaps....that person isn’t a bad guy? But...’

Maomao interrupted Su La’s contemplation with [Tail Spin].

Maomao used [Show Belly], twirling to Su La’s front and applying [Dog’s Charm].

The effect was outstanding.

The emotion of ’pet me, pet me now’ seemed almost ready to form into literal words and shove into Su La’s face.

Su La sighed, as if accepting her fate, kneeling down, bending over to gently stroke Maomao’s belly.

No matter, whether that person is toying with prey, or whatever evil plans he has, it matters not anymore.
