And Tempering An Unsullied Body - Chapter 370

“I see…”

After listening to Gu Xi’s explanation, the corners of Elder Gu’s mouth could not help but twitch.

A f*cking distant cousin, do you think I’m stupid?!

However, even though he was well aware of Gu Xi’s cover-up, seeing that he was unwilling to say more, it was naturally not good for him to continue asking.

“How much longer do we need to leave this place?” Gu Xi spoke again and immediately looked towards the endless darkness.

!!

After staying in this environment for a long time, it was inevitable that he would feel a little depressed. Moreover, there might be a pair of eyes watching him from somewhere nearby.

The sooner they left this Void Tunnel, the more relieved he would be.

Elder Gu also turned his head and looked forward. After a moment of estimation, he said, “With our current speed, we’ll probably need another week or so.”

“Then it’ll be hard on you in the next few days.” Gu Xi cupped his hands and bowed, his tone sincere.

After saying that, he and Little Nine turned around and returned to the room, leaving Elder Gu and Qing Zhu in a mess in the wind.

“This guy, why do we have to do all the work?”

Looking at the backs of Gu Xi and Little Nine as they left, Qing Zhu said with some dissatisfaction, “It’s fine if Elder Yun’s injuries haven’t recovered, but it’s not like there’s no one around him who can control the spirit boat. Why did he throw this onto us with just one sentence?”

It was obvious that Qing Zhu was talking about Little Nine.

Although Little Nine had the body of a supreme beast, she was still at the peak of the Saint stage. Her control of the spirit boat might not be much slower than Gu Xi’s. Logically speaking, both sides should be alternating their efforts.

However, according to Gu Xi’s thoughts, Elder Gu had already developed a strong interest in Little Nine. He naturally would not give Little Nine and Elder Gu too many opportunities to interact, in case they would be missed by others.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s just a little bit of effort. It’s nothing.”

Elder Gu waved his hand and once again poured a vast amount of spiritual energy into the spirit boat under his feet. He chuckled and said, “This time, it’s all thanks to Little Friend Gu and the others that we were able to escape from the Void Devouring Beast. It’s not like we have a strained relationship because of such a small matter.”

Since even Elder Gu had already spoken, Qing Zhu did not say anything more. She turned around and returned to her room to continue recovering from her internal injuries.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed quietly.

In the room, Gu Xi sat upright on a chair and drank the tea in front of him in one gulp.

He turned his head to look at the teapot a few meters away and snapped his fingers lightly. He saw the space around the teapot squirm. A palm-sized spatial crack suddenly appeared and swallowed the entire teapot.

In the next moment, the space in front of him squirmed again. Immediately after, another palm-sized spatial crack appeared. The teapot from before had already appeared in front of him.

Little Nine, who was sitting opposite him, could not help but giggle. She picked up the teapot and refilled the teapot for the two of them. “You’ve made some progress in these few days of practice.”

Gu Xi, however, shook his head with a bitter smile. “Compared to using spatial power in a real sense, I’m afraid I haven’t even learned the basics yet.”

During these seven days, as long as he had nothing to do, he would stay in his room and begin to practice his control over spatial power. Even so, up until now, he was only able to transport some small objects from a place not far away to his side.

Compared to being able to transport himself from a certain distance, there was still a gap.

“Take it slow. How can anyone become a fat person in one go?”

Little Nine stretched lazily as if there was no one around. Her hot figure was undoubtedly displayed in front of Gu Xi, which could not help but make him blush.

“Be careful, you’re a female after all.”

Gu Xi quickly averted his gaze, afraid that he would think too much if he took a few more glances.

After all, he was also a normal man. Even though he knew that the person in front of him was a genuine supreme beast, this woman’s appearance was too attractive.

“Tsk, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before. What’s there to be embarrassed about?”

Little Nine opened his mouth and did not take Gu Xi’s words to heart at all.

Hearing this, Gu Xi was first stunned, then he immediately recalled the time when Little Nine underwent the Lightning Tribulation. At that time, he had indeed seen it all before…

“Everyone, we are about to arrive at the Eastern Continent.”

Just as Gu Xi was immersed in his memories, Elder Gu’s voice forcefully pulled him back to reality.

Without saying anything else, Gu Xi got up and went to the deck. He found that Elder Gu, Qing Zhu, Yun Zhiyi, and Song Qingluan had all gathered there.

At this moment, Yun Zhiyi was supported by Song Qingluan. His face was still somewhat pale, and his head of white hair once again made him look a few times older. Compared to his previous appearance, his current appearance really made people sigh endlessly.

These few days, Gu Xi had also gone to visit Yun Zhiyi. He could clearly feel that the latter’s soul and lifespan had been greatly depleted. If he did not recuperate properly, his own lifespan might not be much left.

“It seems that when I arrive at the Eastern Continent, I should first think of a way to help Elder Yun recover from his injuries.”

Gu Xi secretly made a decision in his heart. As for his grudges and grudges on the Eastern Continent, he had already arrived at the place, so he was not in a hurry.

Besides, Elder Yun was a genuine Great Saint cultivator. He could be said to be a great help to him. Moreover, he was his Master. He could not just let him be.

At this moment, Gu Xi suddenly sensed something and subconsciously looked up.

He saw that in the endless darkness, there was a tiny ray of light. It was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

“That is…” he muttered, already guessing in his heart.

“As you think, that is the exit of this Void Tunnel.” Elder Gu chuckled, and the spirit boat under his feet sped up again. “As long as we pass through the exit, we will successfully reach the Eastern Continent.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but feel a little excited.

The Eastern Continent!

After such a long time, they were finally coming back!

As the spirit boat sped up, the light spot in the distance grew bigger and bigger in his pupils, becoming more and more dazzling.

When it finally approached the light spot, the few people present could not help but squint their eyes to prevent their eyes from being hurt by the dazzling light.

The moment the spirit boat passed through the light spot, Gu Xi could clearly feel the surrounding spatial energy retreating and disappearing at an extremely fast speed. He could even feel that the spiritual energy in the world was gradually filling up.

Very soon, the chirping of birds and the fragrance of flowers lingered in his ears. The tall mountains and flowing water, the fresh air. The spirit boat had already appeared at a place with a rather extraordinary scenery.

“Finally… I’m back!” Gu Xi murmured with a faint smile on his face.
