Chapter 1157: Back At The Original Point
Ji You raised his eyes and glanced at her aloofly, then he stood up and said, “Since you’re back, let’s continue walking.”
Yu Jia agreed and raised her eyes to look at the graceful-looking Feng Tianlan. She still had difficulty adapting, but she said, “What did you guys talk about just now?”
“I was saying that since you were bathing in the creek, someone not far away might be peeking…”
“Feng Tianlan!” Yu Jia roared back.
Feng Tianlan raised her eyes and looked at her while chuckling. Then she hugged White Cutie-Pie and got up. Red Cutie-Pie, the phoenix, seemed to have found a better place and nestled directly on White Cutie-Pie’s back or head without moving.
Although White Cutie-Pie had been angry and wanted to catch Red Cutie-Pie, it couldn’t catch it. The cat and the bird were now playing around merrily.
They didn’t know how many floors there were in the Earth Soul Pagoda, but every level was more difficult to pass than the last. Feng Tianlan was seriously injured several times, but she had the Ice Soul Sword, White Cutie-Pie and Red Cutie-Pie in her hand, and enough pill medicine. She passed the levels quite smoothly, but time flew by and she didn’t even know what day it was.
Red Cutie-Pie swallowed a snake into its belly and their dark surroundings suddenly changed. What they saw was a paradise full of greenery filled with the fragrance of flowers.
“Why does this look so familiar?” Yu Jia looked up at the colorful flowers and beautiful butterflies flying above them.
When Feng Tianlan’s eyes fell on the blooming flowers, she frowned and said in a deep voice, “This is the first level we encountered.”
“Huh?” Yu Jia was stunned for a moment, then she ran forward and found the mark she had left on a tree. Suddenly, she became upset. “How long have we been here? We passed so many levels, but now we’re back at the original point?”
Ji You didn’t feel anything about it in particular because he had never been to this place. He had been at the Martial Training Square as soon as he entered, and after that, he met his master.
“Meow!” Upon seeing the beautiful flowers and butterflies, White Cutie-Pie purred and jumped into them. It used its pink claws to swat at the butterflies.
Yu Jia has long been used to seeing this, but when she thought about how White Cutie-Pie was actually a big tiger that was evenly matched with the phoenix, she felt uneasy. The saying ‘in me the tiger sniffs the rose’ must refer to White Cutie-Pie.
Feng Tianlan walked to the place where she had split the force field before. It was intact as if it had never been split, and more importantly, she felt that there was no force field here at all!
This was even stranger!
Feng Tianlan walked around again. It was the same as when she first entered.
“I just counted the time since we came in. It seems that it has been three months.” Yu Jia ran to Feng Tianlan and raised three fingers.
“So what?” Feng Tianlan raised his eyebrows and looked at her aloofly.
“We spent three months breaking through one level after another and now we are back at the original point? Wouldn’t it take us another three months? If we return to the original point, then won’t we have to keep going in a loop like this?” Yu Jia felt that just talking about it made her exasperated. It felt like a dream but it was also reality.
Feng Tianlan’s gaze fell on the bright and beautiful flowers that were blooming. The breeze was blowing, and she could smell the fragrant scent of flowers from time to time. All kinds of floral scents were mixed together. The scent was a little strong, but not unpleasant.
Thinking of what Lapis Lazuli had said before, Feng Tianlan became very wary of the fragrance. “Beware of these fragrances.”
