"Phew! I’m a young lady. Why would I like those smelly men?" Mi Xiao didn’t even look up. She pouted and made a funny face at Zhu Yanyi.
"You don’t like them? Then what about their flying boats?" Zhu Yanyi asked seriously.
"These boats aren’t expensive. Even the cheapest ones in our Hall look better than these." Mi Xiao looked disgusted.
"Fine. Since you don’t like them, they’ll turn to ash." Zhu Yanyi thought, Their Hall has so many things. I should visit next time and buy a boat.
She snapped her fingers. The three flying boats ahead turned to ash quickly, starting from the front. The people on board turned pale. They were in the air, so they had to jump.
They jumped out, but their clothes, shoes, and jewelry also turned to ash instantly. Only naked people remained.
They were terrified. They covered their private parts and ran away, hoping to find something to hide behind. Zhu Yanyi’s group laughed loudly at their messy escape.
"Okay, let’s move forward," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "Dealing with them gives no sense of achievement."
"Ten… fifteen," Mi Xiao’s voice trembled.
"What?" Zhu Yanyi looked at her.
"What did you do? Why did they end up like that?" Mi Xiao asked. Everyone else was curious too.
Zhu Yanyi shrugged. "It’s a poison for dead objects I made. It doesn’t hurt living things, not even insects. But it corrodes non-living things into ash. It’s great for pranks. It’s the simplest of the five poisons I prepared for you. It’s fun."
"It is fun," everyone said, forcing smiles. This prank poison was scary. It made people lose their clothes, which was worse than death.
"Zhu Yanyi, did you really make this poison?" the Medical Elder asked.
"Yes. It’s simple. I purified strong corrosive herbs and removed the parts that hurt living things. It’s easy to extract."
Zhu Yanyi didn’t think she scared anyone. She continued, "And it’s best for scaring people."
It was indeed effective. Not even socks were left.
"Fifteen," Ouyang Tianyun coughed. "You’re a little girl. How can you make people lose their clothes? You’ll get pinpricks."
Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "I asked if you wanted their things. You said no. So I didn’t leave anything. I’m a robber who takes wealth, not beauty. I have robber morals and cleanliness. I don’t like things used by smelly men. Since you didn’t want their wealth, I turned it all to ash."
She looked very reasonable.
Ouyang Tianyun coughed again. "I mean, such things should be done by senior brothers. You should let us do it."
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~." Zhu Yanyi looked like she saw through her. "You really want to trick me, don’t you? You just don’t want me to act. Don’t worry. I’ve already acted once. Next time someone comes to rob, it won’t be me."
"Right. Who is second?" Mi Xiao asked seriously.
"Of course, it’s me, your Second Senior Sister," Jian Feiyan said happily.
"Second Senior Sister, why are you always 'second'? What’s the point?" Mi Xiao looked unhappy. If others competed, maybe she could win. But against Jian Feiyan, she felt helpless as a body cultivator.
"What do you mean I’m always second? You’re the second one!" Jian Feiyan was unhappy and glared at Mi Xiao.
Mi Xiao smiled. "It’s okay if I’m second. Let me be second for a bit."
"Dream on. I won’t let you be second this time." Jian Feiyan looked stubborn. "My 'second' is mine. I won’t give it to you. If you want it, draw a 'second' for yourself."
They argued about the word "second." The others listened and felt dizzy, almost becoming "second-rate" fools themselves.
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Second Senior Sister, stop being 'second'. I think this Shangmo Plane is very hospitable. Look, someone is coming again ahead."
"Really? Great!" Mi Xiao went to the front of the boat to look. This time, there was only one flying boat, but it was much bigger than the previous three.
"Are you teachers and students from the Saint Academy of the Saint Plane?" A man in blue appeared on the other boat. He carried a sword, looking like a sword cultivator.
"Yes, I am Jian Feiyan, a student of the Saint Academy," Jian Feiyan said. "Who are you?"
"Senior Sister Jian Feiyan of the Saint Academy. I am Wushang from Yuanwu Academy." Wushang smiled. "What a coincidence to meet you here."
"Senior Brother Wushang from Yuanwu Academy. What a coincidence. Why are you here? Your Plane’s direction isn’t this way."
Jian Feiyan looked careless, but she was actually careful inside.
Wushang smiled. "I’m ashamed. I got separated from my Academy’s Elder. We crossed planes and met some bandits. I led some junior brothers out first. Since the direction was unclear, we ended up here."
Wushang seemed polite, but Jian Feiyan didn’t believe him.
But that was fine. Jian Feiyan could also play along. "I see. Then follow behind us. We have Elders who will lead the way." Jian Feiyan smiled, her eyes sharp. She didn’t invite them to come aboard.
