The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter:106

The spirit system witnessed the one-sided battle, and shook his head. [Beauty Qiao, I feel you've been grumpy lately.]

Gu Xiqiao glanced at Bao Xinyi who was lying unconscious on the ground, and kicked her several times. When he made sure there was no response, he returned to the river. “That's your imagination, I just get rid of things that are dangerous for the villagers.”

He looked to see that Su Wen was slowly coming, and he left with peace of mind.

Gu Xiqiao handed the entire mountain range matter to Tang Qinghong to be resolved, and since it was caused by him, he did not feel too guilty about it.

Tang Qinghong was fishing Su Wen out of the water with a slightly resigned expression on her face. “You really are something.”

“I didn't even realize anything.” Su Wen's face was still flushed red, and he punched the ground with his fist, “It just happened, and I still don't understand how I was tricked. Don't let me see his face again! “

“At first I didn't want any of you to get involved in this. Jia Wei is still in the cave. I will take Bao Xinyi away, ” Tang Qinghong said with a sigh. “I'll explain this problem to you later. For now, just take Jia Wei back. “

The two exchanged a few more words, and Tang Qinghong left.

Returning to Gu Xiqiao's courtyard, he was about to head upstairs to look for Gu Xiqiao, but found his door locked tightly. Tang Qinghong stood outside the door, thinking about how likely she was to avoid it on purpose. Knowing that he must have thought that he had crossed the line, he knew there was nothing else he could do.

But seeing the rude way Gu Xiqiao treated Su Wen in the afternoon, Tang Qinghong felt she treated him with relative gentleness compared to that. It was most likely due to his relationship with Tang Yanling.

The rooms were very simple, tables, beds, computers, and diagrams that seemed to be the Eight Trigrams in the middle of the floor.

Tang Qinghong first walked around the Eight Trigrams diagram, and after making sure nothing was strange, he turned on the computer. He breaks into an exclusive forum available in the ancient martial arts world, and begins to report to the moderators about today's incidents, and more recent strange occurrences. He was a little hesitant on the choice of whether he needed help, but finally decided before clicking ‘No’.

People from the ancient martial arts world were different from ordinary people. In the present era, people who studied ancient martial arts were very few, but there were many things in this world that were impossible for normal people to complete, and it required someone from the ancient martial arts world to handle it. Hence, there were forums moderated by the ancient martial arts world, with the intent to manage the martial artists. The tasks they perform can be exchanged for points, and points can be exchanged for treasures or money that will benefit them.

The people behind the Huaguo Forum were the three major families of ancient martial arts left, and that was also the reason why no one dared to cause trouble on location. However, the three large families did not care much about a small matter like this, either, only smaller, lesser-known martial artists who lacked resources would choose to complete tasks to earn points and exchange items.

Tang Qinghong did not care about points or treasures, which she was worried about was the moderator behind the forum. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that he could not match the person who had sat at the top of the Ranking List for ten consecutive years. But now, there was a chance, if he had enough points, he would be able to enter the Jiang family heritage base!

Tang Qinghong was even more determined in his decision, that person had climbed to the top of the Ranking List after he exited the heritage base, he said, and everyone began to speculate that there were some great secrets in the Jiang family's heritage base. No matter what happened, he needed to try to enter at least once to see for himself.

The qualification competition held once every three years was about to start, he did not have much time left.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at the Eight Trigrams diagram on the floor, and felt even more anxious after counting the days. The best time to move is two days from now.

He had found a solution to the problem, and had recovered at least 50% of his chi. He did not need to look for the solution too hard, there were many formations and spells in the forums that were specifically used to deal with vengeful spirits. Most of these formations were abandoned by moderators, and were very practical. There were many comments left by people who had used it, and all of them were full of praise, only a certain number of points needed to be used to exchange them.

He went to the city to purchase the items necessary for the formation a few days ago, and also happened to meet Gu Xiqiao who had just returned.

After so many thoughts, Tang Qinghong finally got ready for bed. He had been patrolling the mountainous area to make sure nothing was wrong, and had covered all of his bases.

If not for Gu Xiqiao returning here, the villagers would have moved. But now that he was here, it would not be difficult to set up an isolation array with his abilities. Otherwise, the villagers would need to be evacuated and leave this area to become purgatory. However, he did not want that to happen, and that would be the last resort.

***

For the past two days, Gu Xiqiao had not come out of his room at all, and the door remained tightly locked. Shi Tou was also obedient, not bothering him.

Tang Qinghong hesitated as she looked at the closed door, wondering if she should knock on it or not.

Just as he was still thinking about it, the door opened by itself.

Gu Xiqiao stretched his arms upwards lazily, after a few days (years) of not seeing the sun, he felt like it had been a lifetime since he came out. When she saw Tang Qinghong, she surprised her by giving her a warm smile. “Pagi.”

“...morning.”

Her eyes were sparkling and clear, while her complexion was smooth and flawless, coupled with the beautiful smile on her face, Tang Qinghong was stunned for at least two minutes in the morning by her beauty.

When he finally regained consciousness, he had already descended.

Tang Qinghong immediately followed suit, Su Wen was handling Jia Wei's affairs, and she didn't return for a few days, so there were only the two of them at home. “I've calculated and today is the best day to move.”

“Sure.” Gu Xiqiao nodded, not asking any further. After spending so much time in the virtual space, his ancient martial arts skills had successfully advanced. “I'll take care of something first, wait for me back.”

Li Yanmei's house was right beside her house, and she did not want them to be dragged away, so she asked Li Yanmei to take them to the city on that day.

When she returned, Tang Qinghong was ready. He stood in the middle of the courtyard, measuring positions, and there were many items on the stone table.

Gu Xiqiao closed the door calmly, he had no idea what he was doing.

“I'll lure that thing out from underground, while you close the courtyard to avoid any accidents happening to others,” Tang Qinghong said as she looked at the sun in the sky, before turning around to give Gu Xiqiao a serious look . “I don't know exactly what it is underground, so if I can't handle it, you have to strengthen the formation while I get help.”

He squeezed the jade charm in his hand.

“I will,” said Gu Xiqiao, and gestured with both hands. Eight pieces of jade appeared around his body, his chi surging in an instant.

Tang Qinghong looked up to observe the energy vortex circulating in the air, and he looked at Gu Xiqiao with an illegible expression. Living at the same age as all of these monsters, it was really surprise after surprise. “It's only been a few days, you've advanced ?!”

“I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat this thing,” said Gu Xiqiao, and with just a thought in his mind, the jade was divided into many parts, scattered in the courtyard, “So I advanced.”

As he said that, the space in the courtyard distorted for a moment, and a thick fog filled the area. Tang Qinghong was still fixated on the words Gu Xiqiao said, she came forward because she was afraid that she could not defeat him? Does he think progress is as simple as eating or drinking, so you can get it when you want it? Unlike them, who could only level up when there was a chance, or when they had the chance to obtain treasures to help them?

For the first time, she experienced jealousy. “Do not say again.”

Therefore, he looked at the space around him, astonishment on his face. “What is this Little Universe? Self space? ”

‘System, I feel something bad is going to happen.’ He thought as he looked at Tang Qinghong's movements without blinking.

[Don't worry, Beauty Qiao. You have learned a lot in the virtual space, it will definitely come in handy. Otherwise, you just need to wait for Jiang Shuxuan to come.]

Tang Qinghong's expression was serious. After arranging everything, the ground beneath them began to tremble, clumps of black smoke leaked out continuously, and the air grew heavier until it was difficult to breathe. “Mate.”

He stood in front of Gu Xiqiao, gathering a concentrated amount of chi into a small ball size ball in his palm. The black chi in front of them continued to spin and spin, until a black bird appeared, and then the black fog slowly faded away.

The black bird seemed to be still asleep, and at first glance, it looked like an ordinary black crow. It was trapped within Tang Qinghong's formation, and looked harmless.

[Beauty Qiao! The chunky! The Sleeping Formation and the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams array! This was a phoenix that had been growing inside an evil aura ever since he was born!] The spirit of the system exclaimed in horror all of a sudden. [You really can't let it get away! Tang Qinghong was right, if it came out, this entire place would become purgatory on earth!]

As the system spirit spoke, Gu Xiqiao began to draw patterns with his hands. The Slumber Formation was one that he had learned recently, whereas the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams was during the time he was kidnapped. When the two formations were intertwined, the entire space would be shut down. He would then be the point, and as long as he did not fall, no one would be able to escape from this place!

The black bird's eyes suddenly opened, and it spread its wings to fly. Tang Qinghong bit her lips as she strengthened her own formation, throwing a chi ball towards the bird at the same time.

With ‘bang’ echoing, the bird slowed down its movement. After the chi mass affects, there are only a few hairs that come off, while the rest remain unharmed. The black bird turned its head slowly, looked at Tang Qinghong with its blood-red eyes, and then opened its mouth to spit out streams of burning black flames.

Tang Qinghong did not have any information on the bird's abilities, and a thick layer of chi appeared in front of him, serving as a shield. The flame was blocked by the chi layer, but it also spread slowly to the side.

“This is a phoenix, you cannot attack first without a plan!” Gu Xiqiao said as he walked to his side with a grim expression on his face. If he pushed himself hard enough, he might be able to find a way to deal with it. However, he was not alone here, and there were many ordinary people around here that he could not simply ignore.

Gu Xiqiao received the solution from the system spirit, and he turned to Tang Qinghong. “Give me time, at least ten minutes, I have a way to deal with it.”

“Give me,” said Tang Qinghong, concentrating on handling the bird.

No matter what, he was still a descendant of the ancient martial arts family, and naturally had various means of protection on him. He will not feel sad for using it.

Now that he was free, Gu Xiqiao took out a bamboo tube from his inventory, which immediately floated in the air. He started drawing patterns in the air with both hands, his complexion grew pale, and the tip of his lips slowly bled out blood, his hair unraveling even without the presence of wind. The pretty face, the black hair, the red blood, the beauty of the image he showed was simply amazing.

“Out of the road!” Gu Xiqiao exclaimed after ten minutes.

Tang Qinghong retreated to his side, extending his hand to throw the energy ball again. He had quite a lot of injuries, there was ash and dirt on his face, even his clothes had been charred. He originally thought it was just a vengeful spirit mass, who would expect a fully formed phoenix!

***

In the N City base office, the man sitting on the sofa reading the book stopped in his actions, the paper crane on his shoulder suddenly lowered his head, instantly shattered.

Jiang Shuxuan stood up, his eyes widened and worried. He quickly walked to the window, looking into the distance towards the north where a very deep wave of energy could be seen, looking exactly the same as the last time he saw it. His lips pursed tightly, his thin fingers gripping the jade hanging on his neck. In the next moment, he disappeared.

Yin Shaoyuan, who just opened the door:.. Sometimes I really feel this person likes to show off! Show-off!

***

Baixing Village was a tranquil scene, and no one was aware of the intense battle that was going on in the small courtyard.

Gu Xiqiao had reached the last part of his array, but he had also served as the core of the formation he had previously set up, and his chi was depleted. If this continued, none of them would win this battle. Blood flowed out from his throat, flowing into the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it involuntarily.

“Although I really don't want to use this trick, you really suck.” Gu Xiqiao focused the chi he used to protect the middle, staring unblinkingly at the phoenix that was beginning to feel a stab of fear. His lips stretched out into a smile, his pale lips red with blood that gave a frightening sight.

His eyes began to dim, and everything slowly became blurred. However, he was Gu Xiqiao, someone who could stand tall during hard times, and he could not fall.

There was a gust of wind blowing past his ears, and Gu Xiqiao struggled to keep his eyes open. Before he could see clearly, his eyes were covered by another hand, and then, nothingness.

“Forcing it so far, you are really something else,” A deep voice rumbles, completely emotionless.

A figure appeared suddenly in the sky, his figure was tall and graceful, a pair of bottomless onyx eyes on his gentle face, his entire body was shrouded in an icy snow aura, making it difficult for people to look into his eyes.

He looked at the burning little bird like he was looking at the ground, and he reached out to grab the bird in his palm. If he exerts a little strength, it will disappear soon, “So, you will disappear.”

Tang Qinghong, who was lying on the side, finally regained her senses, “Wait, it's a phoenix!”

“I'll handle you later.” A clear voice rang out, and although it was spoken in a flat tone, Tang Qinghong shivered slightly from it.

Jiang Shuxuan ignored him then, raising his hand slightly, ice and ice blades appeared inside. He pushed it past the bird, pinning it to the ground. The blood red eyes of the bird slowly returned to a more normal color, and he opened his mouth, a trace of human emotion in his listless eyes, “My master, please save my life!”

“He spent his strength to preserve you, I will forgive you for now,” said Jiang Shuxuan, his eyes fixed on the little bird filled with displeasure, “If he gets hurt in any way, he said, I'll make sure you burn until there's nothing but ashes left! ”

The indifferent eyes swept towards the vengeful spirit with a half-human shape, the other half still inside Gu Xiqiao's bamboo tube. If he was just a second late, he would burn the rest of his life to seal it back.

Slightly raising his hand, a sharp piece of ice appeared on his fingertips.

The explosion!

The explosion!

The explosion!

The vengeful spirits, including the bamboo tubes that floated in the air, all turned into smoke. “Why do you keep things that will hurt you this?”

She lowered her head, a pretty face with very clear eyes that should be filled with life tightly shut, her lips covered in blood, and her face as pale as paper. His slender eyebrows were knitted into one, and even in an unconscious state, he did not feel at peace.

Jiang Shuxuan was furious, ice appeared on his fingertips once more, and the bird's eyes, which were pinned to the ground, widened in horror.

Fractions pierced through his left wing, fresh blood spurting out from the wound.
