Chapter 126 The Illusion of the Illusion Fruit (Part 1)

"what--"

'Snapped--'

Liu Ruxuan slipped and fell from a high tree branch, crashing to the ground. She lay sprawled on the ground, staring speechlessly at the sky, feeling as if every bone in her body was broken.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..." Liu Ruxuan pouted and complained. She thought no one would be there and was about to get up when a head blocked her view, looking at her with amusement: "Miss Liu, are you...enjoying the cool shade? Or...did you fall from the tree?"

"...Ahem, of course I'm just enjoying the cool air!" Liu Ruxuan immediately stood up, dusted herself off, pretended that she wasn't in any pain, and looked at Yi Yan with a grin: "Hey Yi, Sect Leader, what brings you here?"

"Can't I come to my territory?" Yi Yan glanced at the fruit tree, his face instantly darkening: "Liu Ruxuan, you, you actually ate the Illusionary Spirit Fruit?! And so many of them!" There were only eight fruits on the entire Illusionary Spirit Tree, and Liu Ruxuan had eaten three of them!

"Huh? Illusion Fruit? From this tree?" Liu Ruxuan looked at the Illusion Fruit tree as she spoke. Seeing the red and round Illusion Fruit, Liu Ruxuan couldn't help but drool again: "This fruit is special, so delicious..." Liu Ruxuan even stuttered a little as she spoke.

Yi Yan's face darkened even more upon hearing this; he knew that the attack was about to begin!

Liu Ruxuan was completely unaware that the Illusion Fruit was taking effect in her body, and was still babbling away: "It tastes sweet, this is the first time I've ever had it, and the aftertaste is so lingering~ Yi Yan, you..."

As Liu Ruxuan spoke, she looked at Yi Yan, but Yi Yan was nowhere to be seen; instead, Dugu Juechen had taken his place!

"Oh my god!" Liu Ruxuan subconsciously still knew why she had escaped. Seeing 'Dugu Juechen', she thought it was him who had come looking for her, so she turned and ran. Yi Yan looked at Liu Ruxuan's expression of seeing a ghost when she saw him, and then she turned and ran away. He was helpless: "Who does this girl think I am?"

Never mind, catching up is the priority; I can't let anything happen to her. With that thought, Yi Yan used his lightness skill to chase after Liu Ruxuan.

As Liu Ruxuan ran, she looked back and saw 'Dugu Juechen' flying towards her. Liu Ruxuan let out a howl and ran even faster.

'ah-'

A red-crowned crane called out beside Liu Ruxuan. Liu Ruxuan looked up and was shocked; the bird was as tall as an eight-story building. She swerved to avoid it. But just as she rounded the bend, she saw a giant toad sticking out its tongue, which was hurtling towards her. Liu Ruxuan quickly formed a hand seal and blasted the toad away.

Yi Yan, who was following behind, sighed and wondered: What exactly did this girl see?

Liu Ruxuan ran frantically, not even knowing where she was. She only remembered crossing a river—well… actually, it was just a small puddle; and climbing over a mountain—which was actually just a small mound of earth…

"Liu Ruxuan, stop right there!" Yi Yan shouted from behind, performing a graceful backflip and landing in front of Liu Ruxuan.

Liu Ruxuan then stopped running and clasped her hands together in front of her: "Great Master Dugu, please spare this humble woman?"

...Yi Yan hadn't expected that this little girl would mistake him for Dugu Juechen. No wonder she ran away so quickly. But now, shouldn't he take advantage of the situation and try to get Dugu Juechen's secrets out of her? So Yi Yan said, "Why should I let you go?"
