The rear part of Jade Bamboo Peak was exactly the same as three years ago. Other than some changes in the surrounding vegetation, even the three monsters known as the Three Devils had not changed much. If one were to talk about changes, there was only Gu Hua who came and went time and time again.

This was a great thing for Gu Hua Wei Wei. Indeed, being a friend with a dog was much better than being a friend with a person.

As usual, Gu Hua Wei walked in and touched the dog head that was still displeased with her. The three of them touched the dog head, and the three of them licked the soles of her feet to show their gratitude. After smoothing her hair, Gu Hua Wei finally stood up and walked into the courtyard.

Auntie Cai was still busying herself in the kitchen, while Gu Hua Wei was sitting in front of her house. Hearing all sorts of noises coming from the back hall not too far away, she was also very happy. After all, she lived her life in complete isolation.

Closing her eyes, Gu Ruoyun recalled her own days in this world and could not help but feel sorrowful. She touched her tears of bitterness and pulled herself together.

Although she was alone and had nothing by her side, who dared to say that she would be single in the future?

In the future, she would definitely return to Cold City, to her parents' side. She would also have to bring her husband who had been trapped in a trap with her, so that she wouldn't be knocked to the ground by the momentary loneliness.

Auntie Cai busied herself for a while before she came out of her room. She saw Gu Ruoyun's face change a few times as if she was getting more and more spirited. In the end, she sat in front of her house full of fighting spirit, so beautiful that she almost couldn't stop herself from jumping over.

As expected, it was a little treasure that she had her eyes on.

Auntie Cai walked over happily and patted Gu Ruoyun's head. Seeing Gu Ruoyun's bright eyes on her, she felt even happier. She pinched Gu Hua's round face and waved her hand. "Today, big sister will make treasure's favorite spicy chicken leg." Tears welled up in Miss Gu's eyes, unmoved. She hugged Madame Cai tightly. "I knew eldest sister would treat me the best."

Lady Gu's words were extremely pleasant to hear. Auntie Cai gave her a fierce kiss on the cheek before happily opening the door. She put Gu Hua Wei into her room and went back to the kitchen, preparing for her favorite meal.

It wasn't easy to come here, she must make her heart fatter.

Gu Hua was sitting cross-legged on the bed, repeating the secret method of inner force cultivation over and over again in order to pass the time.

All of the new disciples from three years ago must participate in this competition, and the three victors will all be given special rewards from the Yun Sect. Although training as a cannon fodder was extremely slow and she did not feel any presence, when it was time to rush to the top, she had to put her all on the line.

What she lacked the most right now was actual combat experience. She had never been out of Jade Bamboo Peak, had never seen the outside world, and even with this little bit of skill, she had to hide it from anyone who discovered her secret.

However, a purple jade ring was still worth trusting. At least, this mysterious and unfathomable aunt Cai, who was hiding in the back of Jade Bamboo Peak with her unique skills, was unable to see that she was no longer a trash, possessing three attributes.

After her wild thoughts, Gu Hua Wei was able to adjust the chaotic internal energy in her body, and heard the light footsteps of Auntie Cai. If she was not mistaken, this Auntie Cai should be an Aurous Core stage cultivator.

Auntie Cai pushed the door open and saw Gu Hua's eyes staring at the plate of spicy chicken legs in her hands that exuded a strong fragrance, just like a small beast waiting to be fed. Auntie Cai secretly smiled in her heart, pretending to be calm as she placed the chicken legs in front of Gu Hua Wei and gently said, "Go ahead and eat."

With that, he handed Gu Hua a pair of bamboo chopsticks. Gu Hua Wei immediately took the chopsticks, grabbed the chicken leg, and wolfed it down. His greedy look almost made Auntie Cai think that this was a rare delicacy, but it was just an ordinary chicken leg.

Madame Cai stretched out her hand and took out a handkerchief from her waist, wiping off the sweat on Miss Gu's forehead from the heat. "Eat slowly, no one will snatch it away from you."

Afraid that she might choke, Gu Hua Wei Wei even went to the kitchen and brought a cup of sweet water with honey on it. Gu Hua Wei immediately felt that this Auntie Cai was a custom-made nanny. She was so considerate and loving that she was almost drunk.

Gu Hua finished eating the chicken leg. It was already noon. She stroked her plump belly and felt that life had become perfect.

Madame Cai packed up her things and didn't immediately head to the kitchen. Instead, she sat down next to her, wiping the sweat off her face and said, "It has been almost three years since you came to this Jade Bamboo Peak, right?"

Gu Hua was startled. Could it be that Auntie Cai had something important to tell her?

"Yes, sister." Gu Hua Wei Wei could only pretend to be obedient.

Auntie Cai didn't pinch her cheeks like she usually did. Instead, she worriedly asked, "There's going to be a magic battle in a few days, what do you think?"

Miss Gu rolled her eyes inwardly. Was he concerned about her life or death?

"I'm just a cripple. I don't know what to do." At this point, Gu Hua Wei squeezed out a tear filled with sadness and said, "Big Sis, I'll lose."

"Silly child." Madame Cai rubbed her head. "If you lose, so be it. Big Sister will protect you. Don't worry, as long as you are not injured."

What kind of amulet was this? Gu Hua's heart leaped with joy.

"But even senior brothers and sisters are so much stronger than me. I'm so scared. Big sister, tell me, am I going to die …" After saying that, tears welled up in his eyes.

Auntie Cai's heart had been softened by her tears. She wiped them away and said softly, "With big sister here, big sister won't let you die."

"Wuwuwu ~ ~ Big sister, you're the only one who treats me the best." Lady Gu shamelessly threw herself into Auntie Cai's arms, aiming straight for her. "Big sister, when I have the ability in the future, I must protect you!"

Big sister's darling, Big sister doesn't need your protection. Big sister only wants you to be safe." As she spoke, Auntie Cai took an object from her white neck. Gu Hua looked at it and saw that it was a pendant, hanging it up with a kind of almost invisible cicada silk. The pendant was a very unremarkable little monkey, made from a kind of black mud.

However, for some reason, Gu Hua Wei Wei sensed an especially terrifying power from within the clay figurine. It was as if there was something hidden inside the fingernail sized clay sculpture, ready to explode at any moment.

Auntie Cai stuffed the clay sculpture into her hand, lifted her hand to stroke her little head, explaining softly, "This was a protective device my master made for me thirty years ago to prevent me from having a comeback during the competition. I've worn it for thirty years, and Ai Hui, he's a guardian god, so elder sister has given it to you. You must return safely to my elder sister's side." Reaching out a hand to close Gu Hua's hand, Auntie Cai looked out the window, a little reluctant. "This little monkey can protect me, but it can definitely protect you. Don't worry."

Gu Hua Wei Wei looked at the mud monkey in his hand, and felt touched. Tears came out of her eyes and dripped onto the mud monkey, making her cry like a person.

"Elder sister, I can't take it." She gave it back to her. "I can't take what my sister's master gave me. I'm sure I'll be able to return alive." After saying that, he placed the mud monkey on the bed, turned around, and ran out. His speed was like the wind, causing the three ghosts who were guarding the door to be stunned.

Gu Hua Wei ran into the woods and cried. She was so touched by Auntie Cai that she felt guilty.

Auntie Cai was someone who came to her side at a time when everyone was away from her and most helpless and lonely. She treated her well, but what did she do? She knew she would protect her, so she pretended to cry in exchange for Auntie Cai's life saving treasure. She did succeed, but she wasn't happy at all.

She was no longer herself.

In the past, she would never do such a despicable thing. But now, her mind was in a disarray. What difference was there between her and those girls with ill intentions outside?

Gu Hua slightly hated her greed, and felt deeply sorry for Auntie Cai who was wholeheartedly treating her well. She clenched her fists, because she was determined to survive and return to Auntie Cai unscathed. Even if she couldn't stay with her, she had to make the woman in the back hall happy.

They were both people who were afraid of loneliness, so the moment Auntie Cai saw her, she fell for her. Everything had nothing to do with this pair of skin.

Gu Hua sat on the ground and wiped her tears away. Leaning against a tree, she felt as if she had nothing to tie her down. At the same time, she also seemed to have understood something.

The inner walls of the peak Qi Cultivating Stage who had been holding back also began to loosen up. The true qi within his body continued to rush forward, wanting to destroy all obstacles in front of him.

Pain spread from Gu Hua's internal organs to her four limbs. She clenched her teeth tightly, the sweat on her forehead was as big as the rain, and her face was extremely pale from the impact.

Fresh blood dripped from the corner of her lips. Gu Hua remained alert for a moment as she used her spiritual sense to observe the changes in her body. The gas in the air entered her body unabashedly, and wished her a little bit of strength.

Under the pressure of everyone pushing against the wall, the inner wall fell. His true qi was like a naughty elf, flowing through his limbs like a raging river.

An exceptionally relaxed feeling made Gu Hua slightly narrow her eyes. It was so comfortable that she wanted to jump up and down.

One had to know that she was now a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

She would absolutely not die during the competition. As for whether she would win or not, that was another story entirely.

After resting for a while, Gu Hua decided to go look for Auntie Cai, but the sound of footsteps in the forest gradually calmed her down.
