Chapter 43: Senior Brother, Please Come to My Cave

  A serious man is the most charming, with eyes like a sharp peak and small beans studying hard all day. He has really put his heart into it, almost to the point of exhaustion. The future of so many people rests on his shoulders alone, it's no wonder he's so anxious!

  One day, after dinner, Xiaodou was originally going to read a book again, but a little junior sister suddenly blushed and invited him to her own cave house. With that little junior sister's weak style, this is the first time in 300 years. As for any rumors or gossip, Xiaodou has never cared about them, as long as Zhujinsha can help him explain everything, he smiled casually and went.

  In a secluded, deep mountain cave, the candlelight flickers, with a hint of desolation and bleakness. It's so quiet, so empty, the blue gauze floating in the wind, as if your heart is always in pain when you're here!

  The girl's delicate white face was now flushed red, and she hastily poured a cup of tea, saying: "Elder Brother, please sit down!"

  Xiao Dou nodded and sat down, then looked around at the uncomfortable surroundings before asking with a hint of a smile:

  "Ziqing, after breaking up with Xiao Wu, you're still alone. Why don't you find a partner to spend weekends together? Ah, you too, Xiao Wu is such a good guy, why didn't you cherish him?"

  Zi Qing smiled shyly and said, "My sword technique can't be lost with my virginity, so it's only natural to find someone during the merging period. Many people don't also find each other during the merging period? As long as we take it a step further, that's all."

  She asked me what this is for? And said it so clearly? Xiaodou muttered to herself, sighed and smiled bitterly:

  "You guys, sometimes you're even more passionate than me, that's how confident you are.It's okay, no wonder you're all my little sisters! Zi Qing, I can tell, you have something to ask me, go ahead, we've been siblings for hundreds of years, there's nothing we can't talk about!"

  Zi Qing's small face suddenly tensed up, her hands clenched into fists as she stuttered: "Uh... Eldest Senior Brother, I really do have something to discuss with you, but if I tell you, you must promise not to breathe a word about it!"

  "Ah?" Xiaodou's little heart thumped ~thumped~thumped~ wildly! Was she going to confess her feelings to herself?

  No way, uh~ She invited herself to the cave alone and proved that she was still a virgin. When talking to me, her face would always turn bright red, coughing and stuttering, with eyes darting back and forth, but not allowing me to tell anyone...... Wow~ Xiaodou is now staring at her with a suspicious gaze!

  I don't know what to think, now the little bean is both worried and a bit looking forward to her pouncing over, then I'll be in trouble, how stimulating? I don't have much willpower!

  Looking at her snow-white neck, her small mouth with rapid breathing, should I take advantage of the situation and possess her? No, didn't he like Xiaofei himself?

  Damn! At this moment, any normal man can't stand it, and I'm a normal man too, hehe... She's so bad!

  "I actually came to find Big Brother Master because of my experimental artifact, the Eight Gates Dragon Ball... this... this dragon ball suddenly all fell off!" Zi Qing said with a tense expression.

  "What?" Xiaodou's brain was momentarily unable to process it, and she stared at her with a stupid expression, looking as silly as can be!

  "Really!" Zi Qing said anxiously: "I've lost all eight Dragon Balls, this is terrible!"

  Take a few deep breaths, add a big stretch, and Xiao Doujiao, who had barely recovered to normal, smiled and asked:

  "What's this Eight Gates Dragon Ball? Ziqing, what is this? I only know you've been studying earth-based magic, but I had no idea you were researching magical artifacts!"

  Zi Qing's small face was tense, pacing back and forth as he said: "Big Brother Master, listen to me. Our family's earth-attribute magic descendants all have a unique intuition towards the earth's laws. And I've been studying a magical artifact that can be said to be a small magical array. In theory, this thing is very accurate. It can predict whether there will be a massive flood or earthquake in that direction. This thing has been quiet for hundreds of years, but just a few days ago, all eight beads fell off! Heaven! How terrifying is that!"

  Xiao Dou frowned and asked, "What does it mean that all eight have fallen? Is it a flood? An earthquake? How is this possible? Could something be happening even in our sacred Mountain Spirit Valley where people are so talented and the land is so spiritual?"

  Zi Qing nodded and said, "This thing is a warning. The flood came from that direction, the beads facing that place fell off. If it's an earthquake, it would be the same. But this time, all eight sides fell off. If it's not accurate, then nothing will happen. But if it's really accurate... oh my god, eight-sided flood or earth cracking, I really can't imagine!"

  Xiao Dou realized the importance of the matter and hastily asked: "Zi Qing, how confident are you in this magic weapon?"

  "Maybe 70% or even 80%, it's possible that within a hundred years, I don't dare to say when, after what happened, I did several more experiments and got the same result, but maybe it was wrong, so I didn't dare tell everyone."

  Xiao Dou took a deep breath, thought for a moment and said: "It's better to believe it exists than not, floods, earthquakes, natural disasters are really annoying. Unfortunately, we can't leave now, compared to the last time, leaving the mountain gate of Jiuhua Mountain is absolutely ten times more dangerous, or maybe we can't get out at all. In that case... damn it, my pressure has increased again. It seems that success is a must. Alright, Zi Qing, Master brother will take this matter to heart, you can rest assured, I will definitely try my best to find a solution!"

  "Master brother, you mustn't tell anyone else I said this, or if it's not true, then..."

  "Dizzy... Xiaodou shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Really a lovely guy, okay, I won't say anything, I won't tell anyone, alright? You also work hard to cultivate, Master Brother will take care of you ~ I'm leaving!"

  Xiao Dou left the mountain cave of this young nun, and at the moment she left, a faint tenderness appeared in the eyes of this ordinary purple-haired girl.

  Perhaps this little sister will never know herself, because of her timidity, because of her self-abasement, she lost an eternal opportunity. In fact, if she just went a step further, she would have succeeded!

  People! Often the place of failure is just where she stops for a moment! Everyone stops, well, please take another step forward, the sea and sky are vast, let you soar!

  He left with a heavy heart, on the way back to Xiaonei Valley, several guardian disciples stared at him with a sly smile. Of course, he knew why they were smiling slyly, these disciples who liked to gossip about others' love stories, if they could dig up some romance story of their own senior brother, it would be a treasure to pass down for hundreds of years, humph! Wasn't Bai Xiaofei an example?!

  If it were in the past, Xiaodou would have definitely gone over to mess with them, but now, he really didn't have the mood for it. His shoulders bore too much, and even if he could endure it, time wouldn't allow it.

  Junior brothers and sisters, their magic treasures. Even if they can't make magic treasures, they should at least make some magical instruments with special functions. Otherwise, after going out to collect materials for the Condensation Period cultivation, the journey will be even more perilous, how can they still have a chance to come back alive?

  Thinking that they can accomplish something with just their own abilities and Yun Xiaoqiao's magic treasures, Xiaodou really wishes they had a few more magic treasures now. As for the Magic Saint King Token, it's a Spirit Treasure-level item, but using its power once would deplete it, and it may not even have any effect, so it's basically useless!

  Back in Xiaonei Valley, sitting at a small wooden table in front of the house, looking at books for a while, and sighing under the moonlight.

  "Little master~" The lone horned toad transformed into a human figure and asked strangely: "What's wrong with you today? You're usually so cheerful, aren't you? Did that girl reject you again? Is it because of me? Ah, little master, I'm sorry to you!"

  "Go~" Xiaodou said in a bad mood: "I don't have the leisure to think about women now... Hmm? Du Jiao, you're back. I'm asking you, as someone who can swim, shouldn't you know how to prevent over 200 people from getting hurt during floods or massive earthquakes?"

  With a proud smile, he ran back with his tail between his legs and said: "That's easy, just build a flying ship that can fly and float on the water surface, isn't it settled? Haha, I'm really a genius!"

  Xiao Dou said in a bad mood: "Airship, it sounds good, but the key is that we are in a critical situation now. I'm not even an artifact refiner, let alone making an airship magic treasure, even if it's just an airship magic device, I can't make it. And everyone doesn't have any spiritual stones, what to do?"

  "This?" Du Jiao sneered: "This is troublesome, if we really encounter such a thing, we will hide in the ground and not come out, listen to heaven's fate, beg all the gods in the sky to bless me, Du Jiao will live for hundreds of years! Ah~ No, it should be thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, countless years!"

  Xiao Dou sighed and said, "If all else fails, I'll go to the mortal world once, buy a big ship. If I encounter a flood, there's at least a 50% chance of survival. Even if I encounter a massive earthquake, this kind of disaster will pass quickly!"

  "No way~" The unicorn shook its big head and said: "Young master, you've grown up in the blessed land of Ling Mountain since childhood, you haven't seen what a real disaster looks like. When the flood comes, thunderclouds gather, there's no way to go to heaven, no door to enter the earth, and the earthquake is even more terrifying. The core of the earth crack will absorb countless living beings in the sky, which we commonly call the roar of the gods, everything in the world trembles, and perishes!"

  Xiao Dou asked with a gloomy face: "Don't be so terrifying, that would mean even having a spiritual treasure is useless, it's just death."

  Du Jiao thought for a moment and said: "What I'm saying is still normal, if the earth cracks, it's possible that a group of sealed demons will be released, especially in the spiritual land of Jiuhua Mountain. This kind of situation has happened many times before, being controlled by those demons and unable to die even if one wants to. However, if there's a mid-grade treasure flying ship for me to control, I won't have any problems as long as I don't run into any demons!"

  "Hmph!" Xiaodou's face turned stern, and he said in a bad mood: "What can those demons do? If we don't run into them, that's fine. But if we do, just watch me knock out their big teeth! They're just a bunch of guys who are scary-looking but useless on the field!"

  The lonely horned creature smiled and said, "Our young master's divine power is unparalleled, of course he's invincible. We just don't want to be heroes, so let's not bother with those things. Let these troublesome matters be handled by those old monsters who cultivate immortality!"

  Xiao Dou nodded and said: "It's also a principle, huh ~ no need to go to the mortal world. If there are materials as solid as mid-grade artifacts to make a big ship... Ah ~ right! At that time, didn't we kill a three-headed Jiaolong? I'll go take a look!"

  Saying that, Xiao Dou took Du Jiao and headed towards the secret warehouse in Shang Shen Valley to find that precious material...
