Chapter 979: Chapter 979: A Woman More Beautiful than Flowers

Shen Yulin heard the rejection in Fang Bai’s words, her brows furrowed slightly, and she said, "So, what you mean, Senior Brother Fang, is..."

Shen Yulin had invited Huang Miao and the others to join them without any ulterior motives, purely for their benefit. However, she didn’t expect Fang Bai to refuse. Although she wasn’t a person of narrow-mindedness and wouldn’t get angry over it, she felt that Fang Bai was overly arrogant and might put Huang Miao and the others in danger.

Fang Bai smiled and said frankly, "What I mean is, we should part ways here, each trying our luck and looking for our own opportunities. If we encounter danger or unfortunately perish, we won’t blame fate or others; it would only be due to our poor luck."

"I agree with what Junior Brother Fang said."

Huang Miao was initially hesitant, but since Fang Bai had spoken thus, she, being the team leader, naturally felt it inappropriate to continue accompanying Shen Yulin, and so she expressed her position as well.

Shen Yulin sighed and asked again, "Won’t you reconsider?"

"No, thank you for your concern, Senior Sister Shen!"

Huang Miao was also a decisive person; once a decision was made, she would not alter it.

Shen Yulin’s gaze swept over the faces of Huang Miao, Fang Bai, Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu, noting their determined expressions. She admired their courage but also felt it was a pity for them.

The core area of the Bitao Mountain Range was extremely dangerous, something she had experienced first-hand. Even with the strength of a Direct Disciple, it was uncertain whether she could escape unscathed when faced with danger, let alone Huang Miao and the others.

"Since that is the case, let us part ways here. I wish you good luck!"

Shen Yulin no longer tried to persuade Huang Miao and the others. She took one deep look at Fang Bai and then led the members behind her swiftly into the forest.

Huang Miao watched as the silhouettes of Shen Yulin and the others vanished, her face tinged with regret. She sighed softly and turned to Fang Bai, saying, "Junior Brother Fang, Senior Sister Shen is a warm-hearted person. Her invitation was out of genuine kindness. Your words just now might have upset her a bit!"

Fang Bai smiled indifferently and said, "I believe Sister’s broad-mindedness won’t be that narrow. If she gets upset over such a trivial matter, then her journey on the path of Martial Dao is bound not to be long."

Huang Miao gave a bitter smile and said, "Well, it’s in the past now, let’s not talk about it. Although we are already in the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range, it still spans thousands of miles. Where should we go? What do you think, Junior Brother Fang?"

She knew that even though she was the team’s leader, Hou Ziping, Liu Qingqing, and Liu Liehu all looked up to Fang Bai as their lead, so whatever it was, she would discuss directly with Fang Bai instead of consulting Hou Ziping and the others.

Furthermore, subconsciously, Huang Miao felt that Fang Bai, like Tu Hu, might have hidden his true strength, possibly stronger than her, so it was necessary to listen to Fang Bai’s opinion, which was also a form of respect towards him.

Although Fang Bai was also visiting the core area of the Bitao Mountain Range for the first time, his Divine Sense could spread over a radius of one or two thousand meters, allowing him to detect the terrain and possible dangers around them more quickly and earlier than Huang Miao.

Fang Bai said, "Just now, there was a fierce battle in the Nether River, and your Essence Energy is almost depleted. Why don’t we find a place to rest, eat some food, and after we have regained our strength, we can set off again."

So, with Huang Miao and Hou Ziping leading the way, Liu Qingqing and Liu Liehu in the middle, and Fang Bai at the rear, the five maintained vigilance and carefully entered the forest.

During this time, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense swept around and discovered several middle-tier Spirit Beasts with formidable attacking power, but he secretly drove them away using the Beast Taming Scripture, only leaving behind some less aggressive creatures like the Red Fire Chicken and Snow Jade Rabbit.

They hunted a few Red Fire Chickens in the forest and settled down under an ancient sky-reaching tree that took a dozen people to encircle. Then, they lit a fire and shared the roasted meat.

Deep within the Bitao Mountain Range, the Essence Energy was more abundant than in other areas, which made the Red Fire Chickens grown in this environment taste even more delicious.

After finishing the Red Fire Chickens, the five of them sat cross-legged to meditate and restore their True Yuan energy before continuing their journey.

This forest wasn’t very large; the group quickly passed through it, and after climbing over the hill outside the forest, they arrived at the paradise-like plain that Fang Bai had spotted earlier.

"It’s so beautiful here!"

Liu Qingqing, observing the flowers and plants all around, her beautiful eyes sparkling with delight, couldn’t help but exclaim with joy.

After all, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, with an unspoiled childlike heart. She ran to a dense patch of flowers, picked several colorful ones, and casually wove them into three flower garlands; a large one for her head and two smaller ones for her wrists.

"Brother Fang, do I look good?"

Liu Qingqing walked lightly to Fang Bai’s side, blinking, and asked with a slight shyness.

She was already a very beautiful girl, with skin like snow and features as if painted. Now, adorned with three flower garlands, her charm and allure were enhanced even further.

Although Huang Miao was also a rare beauty, she paled in comparison to Liu Qingqing. Seeing Liu Qingqing wearing flower garlands and shyly blushing, before Fang Bai even spoke, Huang teased, "Junior Sister Liu truly outshines the flowers! Even though I’m a woman, I find your beauty heart-stirring. Not to mention your Brother Fang, right, Junior Brother Fang?"

Her words made Liu Qingqing’s cheeks turn even redder.

Fang Bai laughed heartily and looked at Liu Qingqing, nodding deeply in agreement. "Senior Sister Huang is right, Qingqing, you are simply beautiful! Among all the female disciples at the Bitao Martial Academy, none can hold a candle to Qingqing! Actually, I think these three flower garlands, pretty as they are, still don’t match Qingqing’s beauty."

Liu Liehu, hearing Huang Miao and Fang Bai praising his sister, beamed proudly and smiled widely, "Sister has always been the most beautiful girl in our Liuhu Village and even in the surrounding ten miles. Now at the Bitao Martial Academy, of course, she continues to be the foremost beauty. Perhaps in the entire True Martial Realm, sister is still the fairest of all."

Liu Qingqing, speaking in a low voice, chided, "Liehu, you’re spouting nonsense again! Stop it, lest it spreads and we become a laughingstock!"

Liu Liehu protested, "How am I spouting nonsense? When it comes to beauty, who in the Bitao Martial Academy can compare with you? Wherever my sister is, she is the most beautiful! Sister, look, even Brother Fang is so mesmerized by you!"

Liu Qingqing, upon hearing this, looked at Fang Bai and indeed saw him gazing intently at her, his expression enraptured. Her heart raced like a frisky deer, and she blushed, nervously clutching the hem of her garment and looking down, unable to meet Fang Bai’s eyes.

"Brother Fang is looking at me like that, does he really like me? Yes, he must, or why would he stare like that? Oh, but Senior Sister Huang and Senior Brother Hou are here, it’s so embarrassing!"

Liu Qingqing thought to herself.
