[My Senior Brother is Super Strong] Chapter 58
The answer seemed unexpected, yet somehow not unexpected.
Xia Yu and Fang Xiao's expressions did not change much, as if they had anticipated this response.
Bian Rourou took the opportunity to sneer, "You are indeed a lazy person."
Lu Chen corrected her, "Wrong, I'm a handsome guy."
"Bah, you're shameless! Don't you look in the mirror? What do you see?"
"Handsome guy. I don't want to look in the mirror too much, lest I become proud."
Bian Rourou felt like she might vomit blood. She had never seen someone so shameless before.
Xia Yu asked, "Junior Brother Lu, are you lazy?"
Lu Chen replied, "Don't listen to her nonsense. I'm not lazy; I'm enjoying life."
"Why would I want to be like a senior brother who goes out to fight with others after practicing? When he's not practicing, he's on his way to fight someone. Is that life interesting?"
"With so much free time, it's better to enjoy life."
"For what purpose?"
Lu Chen spoke so confidently that everyone was left speechless.
Xiao Ye smiled and said to Xia Yu and the others, "Senior Sister Xia Yu, Sister Xiao, Sister Rourou, don't believe anything the Second Senior Brother says."
"Master said that the Second Senior Brother is also a genius, so he can get away with it."
Lu Chen said, "Stop praising me. If you keep it up, I'll be embarrassed."
Xiao Ye didn't want to pay attention to her shameless Second Senior Brother. Instead, she turned to Xia Yu, "Sister Xia Yu, let's leave him alone."
Xia Yu nodded, and then the four women began to show off their interests.
Perfume, rouge, costume jewelry, and gossip became topics of conversation among them.
Lu Chen didn't expect that Xia Yu, the senior sister of Shuangyue Valley, who usually seemed so reserved, would join in discussions like this.
It made for endless chatter.
Lu Chen couldn't help but shake his head.
Women, they are indeed similar.
The speed of the flying boat was very fast, but it would still take three days to reach their destination.
A group of five stood at the entrance of the secret realm.
Xia Yu said to Lu Chen, "Junior Brother Lu, once we enter, you'll be responsible for one area. How about it?"
Knowing that someone else might enter the secret realm, Xia Yu felt a bit worried.
She hoped to explore it quickly and find the heart of the secret realm.
Lu Chen nodded. "Okay, junior sister and I will explore the fire attribute area."
Xia Yu then said to Fang Xiao and Bian Rourou, "Sister Xiao, Rourou, let's join forces and explore as quickly as possible."
After making arrangements, Xia Yu took a deep breath and said, "Let's go in."
As a flash of white light appeared, the space slightly distorted, and Lu Chen entered the secret realm.
Upon entering, he felt the aura in the air.
Compared to the outside, the spiritual energy here was much richer.
But on closer inspection, he noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy was constantly decreasing.
This meant that the spiritual energy in the secret realm was dissipating.
Xia Yu closed her eyes to sense it and stated, "Time is running out—only about a month left."
"Guys, let's speed up."
Then she said to Lu Chen, "Junior Brother Lu, please lead the way."
She found a direction and set off.
"Second Senior Brother, where are we going?"
Xiao Ye asked, hugging Xiao Hong closely.
Lu Chen pointed in a direction and said, "Over there."
He could feel the strong fire attribute in that direction, and the heat was palpable even from a distance.
"Let's go!" Xiao Ye exclaimed, rushing forward.
Lu Chen shook his head and followed her at a slower pace.
Xiao Ye was very excited to explore the secret realm for the first time, laughing and joking with Xiao Hong along the way.
Lu Chen followed behind, reminding her, "Be careful; this is not the outside; there are dangers everywhere here."
Xiao Ye didn't believe him. "It looks beautiful here; what kind of danger could there possibly be?"
The secret realm was created when space turbulence encountered obstacles or mutated.
Just like a river, when it encounters obstacles, it will form a vortex.
The secret realm is a vortex of space turbulence that exists in the real world.
The spiritual energy in the secret realm is richer than that of the outside world and produces various heavenly materials and earthly treasures. However, it also contains various dangers.
If the structure of the secret realm can be stabilized, it may develop into a small world or be processed further into a paradise.
However, powerful beings prefer to create their own paradise rather than dealing with one in the secret realm.
Cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage cannot enter the secret realm because it is too weak and cannot withstand their pressure.
However, the beings within the secret realm may be stronger than the Nascent Soul.
For a novice like Xiao Ye, if she ventured into the secret realm alone, she wouldn't likely survive.
When the secret realm was first formed, it was rich in spiritual energy. Everything here was unique compared to the outside world, and the scenery was no exception.
Xiao Ye was immersed in the beautiful landscape and screamed with joy along the way.
Lu Chen said to Xiao Ye, "Junior Sister, look! That flower ahead is very beautiful; go pick it!"
More than ten feet ahead of Xiao Ye bloomed a bright purple flower, swaying gently in the wind and sunshine.
Upon noticing it, stars sparkled in Xiao Ye's eyes.
"It's so beautiful!"
Xiao Ye pushed off the ground and rushed towards the purple flower.
Xiao Hong took the opportunity to fly back to Lu Chen.
He landed on Lu Chen's shoulder and called out to him.
Lu Chen said with a wicked smile, "Let her learn a lesson; otherwise, she'll think this place is a paradise."
Xiao Ye rushed toward the purple flower and reached out to pick it.
Just as she was about to touch the flower, it suddenly transformed.
The long and slender purple petals, once delicate and charming, morphed into a large and terrifying face.
"Roar!"
"Ah!"
Xiao Ye screamed like a frightened quail.
A purple tiger-like monster emerged.
"Ankang Purple Beast!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's a type of monster that only appears in the secret realm. It's skilled at disguise, and its strength is probably at the late stage of the Qi Refining stage."
"Second Senior Brother, help!"
Xiao Ye turned and rushed toward Lu Chen.
However, the Ankang Purple Beast was faster than Xiao Ye had anticipated, leaping in front of her in an instant.
It opened its massive jaws and lunged to bite Xiao Ye.
"Ah!"
Xiao Ye quickly dodged, shouting as she ran, "Second Senior Brother, save me!"
Lu Chen said, "No one will save you. If you want to stay with me, you must defeat it."
Xiao Ye was on the verge of crying. The Ankang Purple Beast stalked her, its anger palpable as it roared, and spiritual energy fluctuations radiated from it.
Its fury was evident, and it moved faster than before, charging at Xiao Ye like lightning.
Xiao Ye was terrified, shouting while wielding her longsword with surging sword intent.
