Saving the White Moonlight Chapter 34

Yun Mixue was alone, standing not far behind Yan Zhuguang. Yan Zhuguang guessed that she had likely teleported here.
When cultivators teleported, they needed to use spiritual sense, and the distance they could teleport was also limited by the range of their spiritual sense. Senior Sister must have discovered her here with spiritual sense and then specially teleported to her side.
If Senior Sister’s spiritual sense had covered this place, then Senior Sister had very likely seen what she did earlier.
Yun Mixue saw that, aside from a few cuts, Yan Zhuguang had no other injuries. Her expression relaxed a little. She moved with light lotus steps and arrived beside Yan Zhuguang in an instant, then helped her tidy the torn parts of her clothes.
Yan Zhuguang was not wearing defensive robes. Her clothes were only ordinary garments made from decent material, so the attacks from the two Foundation Establishment cultivators had easily opened wounds on her body.
However, Yan Zhuguang’s Wood Spirit Body had very strong recovery power, so those wounds had already healed. Only the bloodstains that had not faded from the torn parts of her clothes proved that she had been hurt earlier.
There were not many torn places on her clothes. Only a little fair skin showed faintly through them, looking rather dazzling.
Yun Mixue’s fingertips moved over those torn places. Yan Zhuguang only felt a coolness slide past, and the torn clothes were repaired.
As Yun Mixue repaired the clothes bit by bit, she kept scolding, “You were too careless. Why did you not use the jade talisman I left you?”
“What if those weapons had been coated with deadly poison, or had some other secret method attached? What if they injured you, entered your body, and harmed you from within? How would you escape danger then?”
It seemed Senior Sister had seen it. The only question was how much she had seen.
Yan Zhuguang thought, Actually, what I fear least is deadly poison. To me, that thing is a great supplement. I would only worry about not absorbing enough of it.
“When training outside, I cannot always rely on outside things. Senior Sister, I know what I am doing. I just wanted to test where my limits are.” Yan Zhuguang gave a flattering smile. “As long as I sense danger, I will not forget to use the jade talisman.”
Yun Mixue’s jade talisman was a special magic artifact that stored powerful ice spells from her. Yan Zhuguang only needed to pour in a little spiritual energy to release the spells inside. The attack power was equal to a portion of Yun Mixue’s own strength, and it could be used several times. It was the lifesaving item Yun Mixue had left for her.
Also, this jade talisman was connected to Yun Mixue’s aura. Once Yan Zhuguang used it, Yun Mixue would sense it. If the distance was not too far, even if the spells inside were not enough, Yun Mixue could rush over to save her.
But how could a few mere Foundation Establishment cultivators deserve the jade talisman Senior Sister had given her? Even if Yan Zhuguang had not used a formation, she could have killed them all one by one. It only would have taken a little longer. She did not take these people seriously at all.
Still, Yan Zhuguang did not dare say such bold words to Yun Mixue. She could only act spoiled and weak, hoping to be forgiven.
Yun Mixue scraped a finger across Yan Zhuguang’s straight nose. “You little girl. You are still pretending in front of Senior Sister? Hm?”
“Senior Sister saw it all.”
Yan Zhuguang blinked innocently. “What did Senior Sister see?”
“I saw a little tiger baring its claws, pretending to be a kitten in front of Senior Sister.”
Yun Mixue poked Yan Zhuguang’s forehead.
“You clearly had the strength, but you insisted on showing weakness to the enemy and letting yourself get hurt.”
After being thoroughly exposed by Yun Mixue, Yan Zhuguang calmed down instead. She rubbed the place that had been poked and blinked. “That was the most efficient way.”
“I will only be Senior Sister’s kitten. Does Senior Sister not like it? Other people want to see it, but I will not let them.”
Her voice was already a little low. Now she deliberately made it lighter, slower, and softer. She truly sounded like a clingy kitten acting spoiled with its owner.
Yun Mixue shook her head helplessly. “Enough. As long as you are safe and can escape danger, I will not care what methods you use. But remember, do not let Senior Sister catch you doing bad things.”
Yan Zhuguang was about to answer when the formation she had set up earlier to trap the two early Foundation Establishment cultivators ran out of spiritual power and was broken open from within.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed out of the formation in anger. Yun Mixue moved slightly and blocked Yan Zhuguang behind her.
These two had been blinded by rage. They actually failed to notice that the newly appeared Yun Mixue was a Nascent Soul great expert, and they charged to attack without thinking.
Yun Mixue frowned. With a sweep of her sleeve, a sheet of frosty white mist spread out. After the white mist dispersed, the two men’s faces were covered in white frost, and their whole bodies froze in place.
“Why did they attack you?”
Yun Mixue turned her head and asked Yan Zhuguang.
Yan Zhuguang said, “They said I looked easy to bully and easy to attack. They also said that since I was pretty, I must have many good things on me.”
Yun Mixue could not help laughing. “Who praises herself for being pretty?”
Yan Zhuguang looked innocent. “Those were their exact words. Zhuguang did not add anything at all.”
Yun Mixue had no answer. When she turned back to the two men, her expression became much more serious. “These two carry heavy killing aura. They have done many wicked things. Since they have offended me today, I cannot tolerate them.”
Her snow-white fingers moved like snow orchids. In the next moment, the two men became two snow figures. When the breeze blew, they turned into drifting snow sand and vanished.
Yan Zhuguang sighed in praise. “Senior Sister’s methods are truly brilliant. Unlike me. I still have to rely on fire talismans.”
“You still dare say that?” Yun Mixue chided her. “If others saw that spiritual plant of yours, who knows, they might call you a heretic walking an evil path.”
Yan Zhuguang smiled. “Why should I care what others say? As long as Senior Sister believes me, that is enough.”
“How could I not believe you?” Yun Mixue said. “Spells and tools are outside objects. They obey their master. If you do not use them to do evil, then even if your methods are a little tricky, so what? In the end, they are only methods to protect yourself.”
“Senior Sister is the fairest and the best.”
Yun Mixue said, “Do not flatter me. I am only a mortal seeking the path to immortality. As long as one is human, one will have selfish thoughts. I am not that noble.”
“Enough of that. Why are you here?”
Yan Zhuguang said, “My cultivation broke through to Foundation Establishment. To stabilize my realm, I wanted to train outside, so I applied to leave the sect. But after coming out, I felt lost for a while and did not know where to go. So I found the mission board and traveled while doing missions. Without realizing it, I came here. I did not expect to meet Senior Sister.”
“Why is Senior Sister here? Is it for…”
Yan Zhuguang “knew” that Yun Mixue had been busy with the former sect master’s matter, but she “did not know” exactly where Yun Mixue was. Now that she had met Yun Mixue here, it was not strange for her to guess what Yun Mixue was doing.
Since they had met, Yun Mixue did not hide it. She nodded. “Yes.”
“Then where is Senior Sister going now? Can Zhuguang go with you?”
“You want to come with me? Where were you planning to go? You are not going anymore?”
Yan Zhuguang nodded. She had gone to Tianyu City to find Yun Mixue in the first place. Now that she had already found her, going to Tianyu City would be putting the cart before the horse.
“I came from Danye City. There were no suitable missions in the city, so I thought I would go to the nearby large city, Tianyu City, and try my luck. Actually, I did not have anything important to do. Now that I have seen Senior Sister, I do not need to go anymore.”
“Where is Senior Sister going? What are you doing? Is there anything I can help with? Why not hire me, Senior Sister? My fee is very cheap. Senior Sister only needs to pay me ten low-grade spirit stones, and I can do anything.”
“Anything?”
“Mm.” Yan Zhuguang nodded expectantly.
“How can you sell yourself like this?” Yun Mixue said disapprovingly. “Is Zhuguang very short on spirit stones?”
Yan Zhuguang nodded and counted on her fingers with heartache. “I spent nearly ten low-grade spirit stones setting up the formation just now. I only recovered one storage pouch, and I do not know whether the things inside can make up for it. As for the other two…”
Yan Zhuguang glanced toward the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had already turned into traces of water. The storage pouches on them had disappeared along with them.
Yun Mixue saw her little look and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Is Zhuguang blaming Senior Sister?”
Yan Zhuguang shook her head like a rattle drum. “If Senior Sister agrees to let me come along, I would be willing even without money.”
“If I do not agree to let you go, you want me to hire you. If I agree to let you go, you will not charge a fee?”
Yan Zhuguang nodded.
“No matter how I choose, I have to let you go, is that it?”
“Senior Sister, please let me go. Maybe I really can help with something.” Yan Zhuguang threw away her pride and hugged Yun Mixue’s arm, shaking it.
The system was amazed by its host’s thick skin. In front of it, Host was always calm, cool, and certain. Only in front of Senior Sister could she show this kind of spoiled, silly act.
As expected, the white moonlight’s charm was the greatest.
Yun Mixue thought for a moment. “It is not impossible. I happen to need to visit Danye City. There is not much danger there, so I can take you.”
Since it was settled, Yun Mixue did not delay. “Come. I will take you.”
Since Yan Zhuguang was with Yun Mixue, she did not need to use the sect’s standard flying sword. A cloud carriage formed under Yun Mixue’s feet. She brought Yan Zhuguang along and flew toward Danye City.
Yan Zhuguang had not gone far from Danye City in the first place, so the two of them arrived quickly.
In a small city like Danye City, a Core Formation cultivator could already be counted among the strongest. Although Yun Mixue had restrained her aura, some cultivators could still vaguely sense that her cultivation was extraordinary. Because of that, even though the two beautiful women with different styles were very eye-catching in the city, few people dared to stare directly at them.
When she was with Senior Sister, the gazes that fell on Yan Zhuguang were much fewer. Yan Zhuguang felt very comfortable. Sure enough, staying by Senior Sister’s side was best.
“Where does Senior Sister want to go? I just came from Danye City. I might know how to get there.”
Yun Mixue said, “I need to go to a shop called Qiuming Pill Hall.”
“Eh?” Yan Zhuguang’s expression became a little strange. “I know that place. I will take Senior Sister there.”
Yun Mixue noticed the change in her expression. “Hm?”
“To be honest with Senior Sister, I only just came out of that Pill Hall,” Yan Zhuguang said. “The young master of that Pill Hall hired me to complete a mission.”
Yun Mixue nodded. “So that is how it is.”
Yun Mixue did not ask what the exact mission was. After all, that was a secret between the employer and the hired cultivator. “That works out. I also need to find that Pill Hall’s young master. If he is there, that would be best.”
“If he did not leave right after I did, then he should be there.”
From leaving Qiuming Pill Hall, to going to the mission board, to returning to Danye City, Yan Zhuguang had been gone for less than an hour in total. His fiancee had just arrived. He should not have left so quickly, right?
However, the strange thing happened anyway. When Yun Mixue and Yan Zhuguang arrived at Qiuming Pill Hall, its doors were already tightly closed.
Yan Zhuguang frowned.
