438: What is a grape trellis?

“Hmm, I didn't expect you to recognize me. Not bad, not bad!” Venerable Yuan Bao said with satisfaction.

“What the hell, so he’s not from Feixian Sect? Then it’s fine, I’ll take my leave first.” Someone immediately departed.

“Hm? So he’s not? Not being from there is good! More money to spend… Ahem! Right!”

Someone else wanted to say something, but was kicked away by the large man.

“Alright, Qing Shan is new here. From now on, everyone will be on the same Mining Field team. Even if he’s weak, he ultimately came up from our Cultivation World. In the future, we must help each other! You are not allowed to bully him, understand?”

However, after the large man finished speaking, an eerie silence fell over the scene.

“You fools…” Seeing that no one reacted, the large man suddenly turned around, about to yell angrily.

However, just as the words were about to leave his mouth, he seemed to be suddenly struck by a petrifying spell, halting his words forcefully.

Because the scene before him had become somewhat strange; the previously noisy and chaotic atmosphere was now eerily silent.

Aside from Old Ancestor Qing Shan and himself, everyone else present stood motionless like statues! It was as if time had abruptly stopped for these people, completely falling into a state of stagnation.

And beside everyone, a blurry figure appeared.

Seeing this, the large man couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring at the scene in disbelief, a fine layer of sweat involuntarily seeping from his forehead.

His heart was filled with fear and unease, his lips trembling slightly as he stammered:

“May, may I ask, Senior Immortal, I wonder… I wonder where this humble one offended you, Senior Immortal, to incur your wrath? Please enlighten me, Senior Immortal!”

As he spoke, he involuntarily bowed to the blurry figure, his eyes filled with awe and terror.

However, the blurry figure ignored the large man, staring intently at Old Ancestor Qing Shan.

“Plop!”

Without any hesitation or second thoughts, Old Ancestor Qing Shan immediately knelt down without a word.

“Senior Immortal, I don't know them! I, I just Ascended. As soon as I came up, this person forcibly brought me here. I have nothing to do with them, Senior Immortal. If you don't believe me, you can directly soul-search them!”

Facing Old Ancestor Qing Shan’s plea, An Yuexi did not say another word.

“Where is Chen Xuan? I don't sense his Qi. Is he hiding in his Small World?”

“Chen Xuan?! Who is Chen Xuan? I don't know him, you must have mistaken me for someone else!” Old Ancestor Qing Shan was startled at first, then overjoyed.

Because he truly didn't know Chen Xuan. After all, Chen Xuan was just a substitute for an ant to him back then. Who would bother to remember an ant's name?

As long as this person wasn't looking for him, nothing else mattered.

“Don’t know him?”

An Yuexi waved a hand, and a vibrant, unsettlingly green Peach Blossom, full of life, slowly rose from her Storage Pouch.

“Still say you don't know him? How do you explain this Peach Blossom?”

“This… this is a Peach Blossom my Dao Companion gave me! How could it possibly have anything to do with some Chen Xuan… Wait! Chen Xuan… Peach Blossom?! Senior Immortal, if you put it that way, then I’m not sleepy anymore! Ah, about this Chen Xuan, you really must hear me out!”

“So, you do know Chen Xuan.”

“Of course! To tell you the truth, this humble one and that Chen Xuan are quite good friends!” Old Ancestor Qing Shan boasted.

“Oh? Quite good friends, you say? Well, I haven't heard him mention you. Who is your Dao Companion, and what is her name?”

“Her name is Qinglan Jade.”

“Oh, so it’s her. Then there’s no mistake this time. Since you and Chen Xuan are extremely close, then I will… first let you experience their wrath!”

An Yuexi said, snapping her fingers, releasing the Feixian Sect members from their restraints, and then took the Peach Blossom away.

As for an ant like Old Ancestor Qing Shan who was close to Chen Xuan… this Mining Field would make him understand what a full-bodied man's cruelty was!

“So green it makes one nervous. Chen Xuan, are you implying something to me?? It's one thing to provoke me, but to dare to provoke so many at once! If I hadn’t been clever and kept a trick up my sleeve, I might have already been tied to a grape trellis by you…!”

“What grape trellis?” Rou Wu’s voice suddenly appeared, and the next moment, Rou Wu herself appeared before An Yuexi.

“You smelly rabbit, aren’t you going to see where your Tang Sirui has resurrected to, instead of coming here to ask me?”

“No, I was just curious what kind of grape trellis could bind even a supreme God King like you, making you unable to move!”

“Go, go, go, get out of here. Mind your own business!”

An Yuexi waved her jade hand, and Rou Wu was directly sent out of the Mining Field.

Rou Wu, who was sent away, was not annoyed. Instead, she began to murmur to herself.

“An Yuexi, she knows about Qi Luck Peach Blossom, knows Chen Xuan, and seems to have a grudge against Chen Xuan. And she is the Time Immortal King, so it’s very possible that Chen Xuan and she became enemies in the future…”

“No! No, no, no! An Yuexi looks like a Heavenly Immortal. How could a beast like Chen Xuan let go of such a good opportunity? Impossible, absolutely impossible!”

“But looking at her, she really doesn’t seem like a lover, and she also knows Qinglan Jade…”

“Time Immortal King… staking out Chen Xuan… Chen Xuan’s cultivation is low now, but he massacred Immortal Kings ten thousand years ago… I think I know what’s going on!”

“So, the culprit behind all this is An Yuexi!”

Rou Wu felt she had deduced the truth of the matter.

“No, I must inform Chen Xuan. He mustn't Ascend rashly, otherwise, there might really be a big problem!”

Thinking of this, Rou Wu no longer hesitated and directly informed Chen Xuan through her Lower Realm Clone.

And Chen Xuan, upon receiving the message, couldn't help but feel a sudden panic.

“There’s such a thing? The person I provoked in the future is staking me out in the Immortal Realm right now?! Playing 'pop up and get killed' with me, are you? How do you know? Are you also staking me out in the Immortal Realm?”

“I… that’s not the point!” Rou Wu stamped her foot.

“Oh, you! Husband usually dotes on you and loves you so much, but I didn't expect you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, to actually…!”

Rou Wu didn't speak, directly reaching out to pinch Chen Xuan.

“You improper fellow, I’m talking serious business with you, and you’re messing around here! I’ll bite you to death!”

“Hahaha, alright, alright, you’re no fun to tease!”

“Seriously, I actually think… she might not be able to kill you instantly!” Rou Wu suddenly said.

“How do you know? That’s a Dao Achiever, and a Time Dao Achiever!”

“I… I just have that feeling! She hates you so much up there, but she's just helpless!”

“Just because of that? That doesn't mean she won't kill me instantly. What did she say up there?”

“I didn’t really understand what she said. She was muttering something about how if she hadn’t run fast, you would have tied her to a grape trellis or something. Do you know what grape trellis she was talking about?”

“Grape trellis? So the Time Immortal King is a woman!”

“Hm? How do you know just by hearing ‘grape trellis’?”

Chen Xuan didn't speak, but instead pulled Rou Wu into his embrace.

“Come, I’ll show you the grape trellis that even the Time Immortal King fears!”
