2044 Her Rage 2

By disclosing a heavenly secret, it would add more negative variables in its master's future . Therefore, the Firmament Stone zipped its mouth as if it was mute to avoid any mistakes .  It was afraid that Gu Xijiu would continue asking, so it tried to escape . "Master, I need to continue my isolated cultivation . " However, before it shut itself down, it added advice for Gu Xijiu . "Master, follow your heart!"

Gu Xijiu remained silent but took a deep breath . She had quite a number of scruples recently; she wanted to wait for Huang Tu to return as she did not want to fail him . Thus, subconsciously, she denied Shen Nianmo and only treated him as a target of her mission .

Indeed, she had a strange feeling for Shen Nianmo . She paid more attention to this kid and did not feel disgusted by his ambiguous actions . It would certainly be great if he were the reincarnation of Huang Tu; then, she would not feel guilty if she fell in love with him . But what if he was not? There would only be two outcomes- it was either she let Huang Tu down, or she hurt Shen Nianmo in the end . However, that was not what she wanted . Thus, she did not want to give any hope to Shen Nianmo before she could confirm .

Confusion hit Gu Xijiu hard over the last few days, but now, she had a clearer mind . One day, she would find out the truth! For now, she still had to complete her mission, and just go with the flow . The only thing she could do was not to give him any hope before she found the truth . Moreover, he was still very young; it was not appropriate for him to be involved in relations.h.i.+p matters yet . It seems that helping him to focus on his cultivation was a better idea .

Thus, Gu Xijiu would have to wait until he becomes a Mighty Immortal before she could make the next move .

"Master, I can smell the mussel! It was here four days ago . . . " Lu Wun ran over excitedly .

Gu Xijiu regained her consciousness and quickly leaped onto its back . "Great! Let's find it!"

The mussel had a straightforward traveling route as it traveled in a straight line . Apparently, it knew exactly where to hunt the musk deer when it arrived here . Gu Xijiu and Lu Wu arrived in a valley as they searched for the mussel by following traces of its scent .

There was a lot of gra.s.s in the area, with a fragrance similar to orchids, and that was the favorite food of musk deers . In fact, the valley was named Musk Deer Valley as it was the habitat of many musk deers .

Gu Xijiu took a stroll around and found the tracks of the mussel . It had probably grilled a few musk deers somewhere nearby as she saw a grill rack . Since the mussel achieved level eight of spiritual power, it no longer consumed raw meats; it now preferred grilled meats . It had a strange habit of stacking the firewood in the shape of its sh.e.l.l when it needed to grill something! In fact, it had a feast there as three burnt spots were found at the scene .

It was here three days ago, and apparently, it was a fruitful trip . Logically, it should have returned to the General's Residence with the preys; how did it go missing?

Lu Wu took a stroll and found something . "Master, someone had set a trap here!"

Gu Xijiu quickly checked on it and predicted that there were three people here and their Kung Fu was equivalent to a Senior Immortal or above . Based on her observation, the mussel, who was enjoying a big feast, was their target!

However, there was no sign of a battle . Therefore, the mussel had probably escaped as it knew that it was not strong enough to fight against them when it noticed the trap . It seemed to be extremely panicked as it only ran in a straight line into a deeper part of the forest .

Gu Xijiu frowned . She knew that the mussel was not easily scared when it encountered challenges; hence, it would not run in a straight line if it was attacked solely by three Senior Immortals . In fact, it would have probably tried its best to fight and only try to escape if it was not capable of winning the battle .  

However, it escaped right away this time . Apparently, it knew that its the enemy was much stronger than itself!
