The Otherworldly Adventures of a Super Naive Girl

373: The Cliff

Since the sword users were useless, the magician stepped up to battle.
Spells hit the corpses and forced them back a few steps, but it didn’t look like any damage was delivered.

The attack only served to increase the killing intent of the two corpses.

Everyone was on guard and fear filled their hearts.
Their opponents were very strong.

“Let’s all leave, get out of this hall.
We’ll talk about what to do afterwards.”

No one wanted to engage the corpses.
They still weren’t sure what the corpses were exactly.

If you can’t beat it, then you have to run.
Why stay and fight in a losing battle?

“Let’s go!” Zo grabbed Feng Wu’s hand and rushed to the back of the hall.
So while the group attracted the corpses attention, the two escaped without trouble.

“Damn it! That little pansy ran away for fast!”

The people behind Zo cursed him out.
While so many of them were dying, he was pulling the dark-haired girl and running away!

Damn beast! Shameful to run away so fast!

Zo didn’t know his reputation in their hearts had dropped another level, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared.

Feng Wu and Zo rushed away.
The two corpses were so strong, even Feng Wu didn’t want to face them.
Xiao Chun’s[notes] ability could have purified evil spirits but there was something strange about the ones in the tomb, so Rui Baby had not recommended she use Xiao Chun.

Even if Feng Wu purified the evil spirits in front of them, more would just stream in to fill the void.
They had to find the source if they wanted to resolve the situation.

Rui Baby didn’t want Feng Wu to waste her time doing something useless, so he had telepathically explained that she shouldn’t use Xiao Chun.

Speaking of Xiao Chun, Baby Rui had lots of questions.
He knew Xiao Chun was the weapon of the goddess of purity and innocence.
Legend had it, the goddess fell in love with someone she shouldn’t have.
His identity was actually very unusual; some even said he was a demon.

While her heart was still pure and uncorrupted, she went to the divine realm and gathered materials to create a pure sword using the power of her still innocent heart.
This sword was Xiao Chun.

From its knowledge inheritance, Rui Baby remembered some of the gods at the time said it was a demon realm conspiracy, meant to rob the goddess of purity and innocence of her powers.
The demon realm would become even more emboldened once the goddess lost her ability to purify.

To make it work, someone in the demon realm had to disguise himself as a god to make the goddess of purity and innocence fall in love with him.

The goddess found out about the conspiracy and so she created Xiao Chun, a sword that could never be corrupted and would always have the power to purify all sins.

The goddess then took the sword to find the man she loved.
They fought for three days and three nights across the god and demon realms.
The outcome was a mystery.

Some say the two perished.
Others say she died in his arms, leaving the whereabouts of the pure sword unknown.

Rui Baby never expected something like the pure sword, only ever seen in legends, to appear in the possession of a girl like Feng Wu.
It was incredible.

To top it off, the pure sword loved Feng Wu a great deal.
Rui Baby knew the sword couldn’t be used by anyone impure.
Only someone pure could wield it.
Since Feng Wu was its master, then she had to have a pure heart and mind.

Even Rui Baby liked being with her.
There was a secret inside her, but he didn’t know what it was.
Rui Baby’s ability was foresight, but because his strength wasn’t fully matured, he couldn’t accurately predict the future of the things he wanted to see.

Feng Wu, Zo and Rui Baby quickly made it to the end of the path.
Who could have imagined the end of the path was a cliff?

It looked like the road continued on the other side of the cliff and the only way to get over to it was to jump.

“I’ll take you over.” Feng Wu took Zo’s hand, intending to carry him over.

Though the distance between the two cliffs was great, there were several stone pillars in between that they could use to hopscotch over.
Zo was about to nod his head when Rui Baby spoke up.

“No! You think that Poseidon guy will let you cross over that easily? If I’m reading this correctly, there’s a formation between the cliffs.
It will block anyone who tries to use their powers to fly over.
With your abilities sealed midflight, what do you think will happen?”

Baby Rui was a rui beast so he was both smart and clever.
Combine that with his inherited knowledge passed on from one generation to the next, and he was just better than a girl who transmigrated and a homebody boy time traveler.

Feng Wu and Zo imagined falling down pass the stone pillars halfway through their flight.
They gulped.
The picture was just too terrifying!

“Baby is so smart.” Feng Wu touched the eggshell on Rui Baby’s head.
Her eyes were bright with admiration.

“Of course.
You know who I am? I am the wisest in the world.
Nothing can slip pass me.” If he wasn’t scrupulous and if Zo wasn’t there, Rui Baby would have totally shown off his wisdom abilities.

Unfortunately, no matter how smart Rui Baby was, it was impossible for him to know his cover had already been blown.
Zo wouldn’t take the initiative to reveal this though, after all it related to the secret of his time travel.

“What should I do? There’s no bridge so it’s not like I can cross!” He could only rely on his own physical strength since he didn’t have magic or qi.
But no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to cross the gulf.
There was no bridge and he couldn’t fly.
