SQLJBFDTW Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Jade Clump (4) – It’s Over! Little Junior Brother is Getting Serious…

“Uncle…”

Chao Jianxue immediately heard Yu Wei’s weak address. He retracted his hand, and the bright, thousand-mile moon scythe vanished. He gracefully landed beside Yu Wei.

The exhilaration of showing off in front of Yu Wei was completely ruined by this “Uncle.” He was filled with question marks, thinking he had misheard.

How could the Flood Dragon Demon be Yu Wei’s uncle?

Yu Wei also stood up in disbelief, taking a step forward. “Uncle, why…”

The Flood Dragon Demon’s human form was a middle-aged man with a beard. Upon closer inspection, he resembled Yu Wei in some ways, but with more weathering and vicissitudes. His eyelids drooped, giving him a sorrowful appearance.

He said, “After you left, demons and monsters invaded One Leaf Boat. I and the elders joined forces but were no match. I was also devoured by this Flood Dragon Demon. However, I tried my best to preserve my life and coexisted with this Flood Dragon Demon. Just now, it felt pain and concealed itself, allowing me to temporarily control this body.”

Yu Wei eagerly asked, “What about the others?”

The man remained silent, shaking his head.

Seeing Yu Wei’s condition, Chao Jianxue reached out and supported his back, fearing he might fall.

Yu Wei gratefully gave him a look and said, “Uncle, how can I separate you from the Flood Dragon Demon?”

The man said helplessly, “My physical body has already perished, but this is also good. With me here, at least I can prevent this Flood Dragon Demon from leaving One Leaf Boat.”

Hearing this, Yu Wei lowered his eyes, looking very saddened.

Chao Jianxue, still remembering the initial purpose of coming here, spoke at the right time. “Senior, do you know the whereabouts of the Bitter Cold Heart?”

“Bitter Cold Heart?” The man asked in surprise. “The Bitter Cold Heart is the foundation of our clan’s heart technique. What do you want the Bitter Cold Heart for?”

Yu Wei said, “I’ve suffered some injuries and need the Bitter Cold Heart to heal.” “Uncle is the head of the family. Can you protect the Bitter Cold Heart from being plundered here?”

“You are the rightful next head of the Yu family. If your parents hadn’t been killed by the invading Serpent Demon back then, and you hadn’t left One Leaf Boat in despair, it wouldn’t be my turn to be the family head.” The man smiled sadly.

He asked, “May I know who this little friend is?”

Yu Wei said, “He is my eldest senior brother in the Wuwu Sect.”

“Oh, a formidable young man, a formidable young man.” The man sighed. “If you want to find the Bitter Cold Heart, fortunately, I hid it long ago beneath this water. The front is the entrance, follow me.”

Chao Jianxue nervously glanced at Yu Wei, then looked at the man’s back, asking, “Senior, where did that Flood Dragon Demon go?”

The man turned around and reassured him. “Just now, your attack made the Flood Dragon Demon’s spirit unstable. I can still control this body for a while, don’t worry.”

Chao Jianxue felt something was strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. After all, this man was Yu Wei’s uncle, and since Yu Wei didn’t say anything, he couldn’t interrupt.

However, as the man led them all the way, to the center of the lotus clumps, he bit his fingertip, and blood, red to the point of being black, dripped into the middle of a lotus flower stamen.

Yu Wei said, “Where did this Spirit Gathering Array come from?”

The lotus flower, infused with blood, slowly bloomed, and they heard a rumbling sound beneath their feet. Directly in front of them, beneath the roots of that lotus flower, another spatial magic array appeared, faintly rippling in the water. If you didn’t look closely, you wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

The man said, “This Spirit Gathering Array has always existed. It is precisely because it gathers the spiritual energy in this fairyland that the Yu family has been able to continuously generate spiritual power for thousands of years.”

“Alright, I have hidden the Bitter Cold Heart in this magic array. You two go in quickly.” He urged, “Time waits for no one, while I can still control the Flood Dragon Demon’s soul.”

Chao Jianxue took a step forward, but Yu Wei beside him didn’t move. Thinking Yu Wei was unable to walk, he concernedly reached out to pull him, but still couldn’t move him.

Yu Wei’s face was stern, and he tightly grasped Chao Jianxue’s hand in return. His hand was exceptionally cold.

“Uncle… you really didn’t set up this Spirit Gathering Array?”

Chao Jianxue was stunned, realizing his hand was actually trembling slightly.

The man’s sincere and anxious expression cracked. “Yu Wei, what are you suspecting me of? I’m your uncle!”

Yu Wei spoke clearly, staring straight at him.

“You said you’ve been in the Flood Dragon Demon’s body for decades, haven’t you woken up for a moment or two? If you woke up, why did you allow the Flood Dragon Demon to place my clansmen in the Spirit Gathering Array, using them as its nourishment! You are also a member of the Yu family, how can you tolerate this Flood Dragon Demon continuing to occupy One Leaf Boat?”

The man seemed to have been wronged, his face darkening and already carrying anger. “I woke up for the first time, is this something I can control!”

“If it’s the first time waking up,” Yu Wei’s lips curled into a desperate and mocking smile, “how could Uncle act so naturally, even using the Flood Dragon Demon’s power to open the array so freely.”

“…”

A dangerous aura instantly rushed towards them, and the hairs on Chao Jianxue’s back stood on end.

In an instant, a huge black shadow swept over from behind them. In Chao Jianxue’s peripheral vision, he saw a huge tail of demonic energy. He quickly pulled Yu Wei forward and flew away.

The man suddenly attacked, waving demonic energy from his palm, assaulting them.

Attacked from both front and back, they happened to step on the spatial magic array that had just been opened. The moment they stepped on it, their bodies became immobile.

The man retracted his palm and suddenly laughed loudly.

When he restrained his expression, fine scales had already crawled out on both sides of his cheeks, making him look like a lizard. His original sorrowful appearance was completely concealed by his current crazy expression.

The shadow of the serpent’s tail continued behind him, turning into his legs, solidifying and completely merging with his body.

“Why bother tearing off this mask, Yu Wei.” His voice also carried the demonic sound of the Flood Dragon Demon.

“Originally, if you obediently entered this magic array, you could have known the truth later. Even if hope was extended for a moment, it would be better than complete despair, right? You are still so rigid, the virtue of the family head cultivated by the Yu family is as consistent as ever.”

“Uncle tells you, the Bitter Cold Heart is indeed below, but so what if you get the Bitter Cold Heart, you can only stay here forever, have your entire bodies of spiritual power sucked away by these blood lotuses, and become my food. With you, I finally have hope of breaking through and breaking through this damn One Leaf Boat!”

Evil energy overflowed, his tongue also turned into a snake’s letter, and his pupils also turned into the Flood Dragon Demon’s vertical pupils.

It wasn’t that he was sharing a body with the Flood Dragon Demon, it was clear that his heart and mind had already merged with the Flood Dragon Demon, turning into a thoroughly enlightened demon.

The two people’s eyes went dark, the ground beneath their feet disappeared in an instant. They fell down holding each other for a while, and then heavily rolled on the ground.

Chao Jianxue was about to spit out a mouthful of old blood, but he endured it, panting heavily.

Yu Wei was under him, tightly closing his eyes, his body constantly trembling.

Chao Jianxue supported himself to kneel up, looking down at Yu Wei’s face.

After his breathing calmed down, he reached out to help Yu Wei wipe away the filth on his face. He said, “Little Junior Brother, cry if you want to cry, I won’t tell anyone.”

Yu Wei stopped trembling. Just as Chao Jianxue thought he was still trying to act strong, tears streamed out of his tightly closed eyes.

Turbulent, with no sign of stopping, soaking Chao Jianxue’s palm.

He bit his teeth, resentful and sad, finally pouring out the pain he had been accumulating for a long time. Tears fell like broken beads, but he still kept his mouth tightly shut, refusing to cry out.

Chao Jianxue felt uncomfortable in his heart, and could only silently help him wipe away his tears.

Suddenly, Yu Wei pressed his hand, letting his palm rest on his lips, and then made the first sob that Chao Jianxue remembered him making.

Extreme silence, only surging tears, and the trembling of his lips.

“…Sigh.” Chao Jianxue could only sigh.

How pitiful.

He finally saw a relative, but he was the real mastermind.

At this time, Chao Jianxue straddled Yu Wei, kneeling on either side of his waist. He couldn’t sit down, and he couldn’t stand up, so he had to maintain this posture.

He was embarrassed to stare at Yu Wei’s mottled tear marks for a long time, so he blinked his sore eyes and looked around.

In front of them, in the place they were now, there was indeed a strange thing.

Originally, when he heard “Bitter Cold Heart,” Chao Jianxue always thought it was some kind of small magic item, but what appeared in front of him now was a plant.

A lotus branch that hadn’t sprouted yet, emitting faint blue light spots all over its body, was chillingly cold, as if it were made of ice, somewhat translucent.

Let’s detoxify first.

After Yu Wei calmed down and the tears stopped flowing, Chao Jianxue pulled him up and motioned for him to try.

He then stepped on the surrounding stone walls and flew upwards.

The stone walls were slippery, and he needed to use skill to hold on. Chao Jianxue took three steps forward and one step back, and after a while, he finally reached the top.

But the top was also a stone wall. He threw out explosive magic tools but they didn’t work, and it didn’t work to bombard it with spiritual power either. The whole place was like a square box, sealing them inside.

Falling back to the ground, Chao Jianxue asked, “How is it? Can it be unlocked?”

Yu Wei had a wooden expression as if he had lost his soul, his eyes were slightly red, and he shook his head at him.

They had no idea how to detoxify this Bitter Cold Heart. They needed the guidance of a Pill Refinement Master, but this place completely shielded the signals of the sect’s jade pendants.

Chao Jianxue quickly walked to the side of the Bitter Cold Heart, and said angrily, “Let’s just pull it out first!”

But as soon as he stretched out his finger, it immediately stung as if it was being burned by fire. He quickly retracted it, and when he took a closer look, his fingertip was actually frozen. It wasn’t burning, it was freezing.

At this time, Yu Wei suddenly bent over and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

Chao Jianxue was startled and reached out to touch him, exclaiming, “Why is it so hot!”

Yu Wei was breathing rapidly, eagerly pinching his fingers to draw a talisman and point it at his vital acupoints.

Chao Jianxue circled around anxiously, covering his head and saying, “No way! No way, no way, no way! It’s not the time for this! You must have used too much spiritual power when you saved me from the illusion, leading to the premature onset of the Pill Poison! It’s over, it’s over! You have no strength to suppress the Pill Poison now. The Pill Poison is invading your dantian and internal organs, you’re doomed!”

Not only was Yu Wei doomed, but he was also doomed!

If Yu Wei, as the protagonist, didn’t die, then without the power to resist the Pill Poison, he could only become a demon like the demon flood dragon outside!

The Profound Origin Realm would also be finished!

Chao Jianxue didn’t expect that there was still a possibility of bringing the ending forward.

“Senior Brother… quiet…” Yu Wei was already sitting on the ground, drawing another Cold Soul Curse and pointing it into his dantian, but it no longer worked as it used to.

On the contrary, he couldn’t support himself and coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood, pale to the point of almost breaking.

At the same time, the spiritual power in Yu Wei’s meridians also couldn’t be maintained and began to flow out like water.

Although Chao Jianxue closed his mouth, he widened his eyes and came to Yu Wei, wailing silently.

“There’s something… I want to say to Senior Brother…” Yu Wei pressed the back of Chao Jianxue’s hand, the expression in his eyes was as if he would have no chance if he didn’t say it now.

Chao Jianxue nodded nervously.

In the midst of constant surges of heat and intense pain, Yu Wei exhaled hot air with difficulty, but his eyes were infatuated. Chao Jianxue felt uncomfortable being watched, and at the same time, a big question mark rose in his heart.

Could it be… could it be…

Yu Wei pressed his fingers on the back of his hand hard, and the blood on his lips was scarlet, adding a few captivating demonic qualities to his face.

He said, “…I have someone I admire. The person I admire is far away in the sky, but close in front of me.”

He’s getting serious!
