Chapter 182: Obviously Cheating

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The eight cultivators scoffed coldly. They were certain that the boat would get dragged into the battle.

However, in the next moment, they were all dumbstruck.

The eight of them were battling the five spirits fiercely. The battle happened all around the boat, but the boat was still calmly floating toward the entrance as if it was untouchable!

Coincidently, the aftermath of the battle spread out to its surroundings, helping the boat get away safely every single time!

Whenever it seemed impossible for the boat to escape from harm, either a spirit or one of the eight cultivators would somehow be at the right place to shield the boat from oncoming attacks.

Finally, a cultivator could not help calling out, “Are the five of you blind? There’s such a big boat that’s about to go through the entrance!”

The spirit scoffed coldly and said with confidence, “Nonsense! Nobody’s able to get past us! Don’t you try to fool us!”

The eight cultivators almost spat out blood as their faces flushed red. “Are you pretending or are you actually blind? They’re cheating!”

“Hmph! Nonsense!” The spirit attacked more vigorously.

Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun stood on the boat as they watched the battle in the air with enthusiasm, commenting on it from time to time.

Suddenly, a cultivator narrowed his eyes and looked at the boat with envy. He made a gesture and the golden bell in his hand let out a loud ring. It was then followed by a long flame forming in the air, which was then transformed into a fierce-looking tiger that proceeded to attack the boat!

“We’re here fighting for our lives and you think you can simply float through so easily? What concept is that? How unfair! If I can’t get through, neither can you!”

Lin Mufeng’s face darkened as his heart rate increased. The eight cultivators who managed to get to this stage were not weak at all. Although he was confident that he could withstand their attacks, he was worried about waking up the expert.

This bunch of fools were asking for death! Did they have any idea who they were offending?

Ignorance was scary!

Lin Mufeng’s look darkened with determination. He was prepared to perfectly block the blow even if he had to use up all his Spiritual Qi.

However, a spirit appeared suddenly and used its sword to destroy the flaming tiger in the air!

“How dare you miss your strike? Are you even serious about fighting us? This is insulting! I’ll take your life!” the spirit growled furiously. In a flash, it attacked that cultivator wildly.

The cultivator was furious. He exuded a wave of flaming anger as he growled, “How unfair! How unfair! The Immortal Relic’s allowing them to cheat! How shameless!”

The rest of the seven cultivators glared at the boat with their reddened eyes. They stared so hard it was as if they wanted to glue their eyeballs on the boat.

Under their envious gaze, the boat passed through the second entrance.

Then, the third entrance.

There were only three men there.

They were gathered together, discussing a tactic to break through.

This looked like a secret chamber with a stream flowing in the middle. It had snowy-white walls all over. They had tried all kinds of ways but were still unable to break through.

Meanwhile, one of the walls vibrated slightly and a boat appeared.

The three cultivators were shocked at first. Then, they were delighted.

The eldest of all said, “Brother, there’s no way to attack the wall and there doesn’t seem to be a mechanism operating it. There’s no way to get out, why don’t you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, the boat bumped into the wall, causing a loud ‘ping’!

The wall vibrated and the boat vanished.

The three cultivators were dumbstruck as the words got stuck in their throats.

The eldest man was feeling uncertain. “Did…did a boat just pass through?”

“I think so.”

“Was it just a hallucination? Perhaps this was part of the test of the third stage?”

“Possible.”

…

Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun stood on the boat, watching the scene unfold in front of their eyes.

The lantern was glowing, illuminating the little boat with its glow. The boat moved shakily and freely down the stream.

It would be a lie if they said they were not shocked. However, they did some mental preparation before this. Since they were gradually getting used to this, they managed to appear rather calm.

“It’s unlikely we’ll find more cultivators ahead.” Lin Mufeng sighed in relief as he glanced at the cabin.

This was too exciting. Luckily, they did not wake up the expert.

The boat continued to move down the stream.

Fourth stage, fifth stage…

Under the shocking gazes of both Lin Mufeng and Lin Qingyun, they discovered that there were nine stages in total!

They somehow felt sorry for the bunch of cultivators behind. Luckily, they had the help of the expert. If not, who would be able to pass through all the entrances?

The person who set this Immortal Relic up must have been a super-pervert! He obviously did not want anyone to pass through!

Inside the cabin.

Li Nianfan’s eyes were shut. He was asleep. Daji was laying beside him. Her beautiful eyes were gazing at Li Nianfan as her cheeks flushed red. It was apparent that she was awake.

She had been looking at Li Nianfan like a fangirl, sometimes shy, sometimes anxious, sometimes hesitant. Finally, her tongue reached out to lick the saliva that had oozed out from the corner of her lips. She then took a deep breath.

It was her first time sleeping next to Li Nianfan. She could not lose this opportunity. She had to be brave. It would be too wasteful to let this chance slip away.

Daji looked determined. Swiftly after, a long snowy-white fluffy tail rose from her back, silently stretching toward Li Nianfan.

The tail gently ruffled his face and then instantly retracted.

Daji looked like a kid who had done a naughty thing. She blushed before shutting her eyes tight, acting as if she was asleep.

After a moment, she opened her eyes again and realized Li Nianfan did not wake up. She was delighted.

Now that she was slightly braver, she reached out with her tail again and gently rubbed Li Nianfan’s face while another tail was placed on Li Nianfan’s palm. She had an enjoyable look on her face.

This reminded her of the time when she was still a fox. Li Nianfan always hugged her and ruffled her fur. It felt so comfy.

Just as she was about to do more, Li Nianfan’s nose twitched as his eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Instantly, Daji retracted all of her tails. Her mind went black as panic filled her face.

“Hmm? Daji, you’re awake?” Li Nianfan opened his eyes and looked at Daji with a smile.

Daji looked suspicious. She simply mumbled, “Hmm, yes. Mr. Li…good morning.”

Li Nianfan did not mind. He took a sniff. What a scent! He gently rubbed his nose. Hmm? His palm smelled the same?

More importantly, this scent smelled so good!

He took a sneak peek at Daji. Sleeping with a beautiful lady was indeed different. He was lucky he got to take advantage of her fragrant scent.
