Big Honey Pea

Mu Yu couldn’t care less how Xiaoshuai found out about the honey peas but assumed it was just his glutton prowess at work. He believed it was edible if Xiaoshuai took a liking to it.

“What does you mean we have to exchange some small honey peas?” Qiao Xue inquired in an affable tone.

“The fiend race cast the formation using their special method. As such, we must defuse it using their means. To do so, we need to provide an offering, which happens to be small honey peas.”

“You don’t mean fiend spirits, do you?” Mu Yu asked, catching on.

“Exactly. We need the tastiest fiend spirits,” answered Xiaoshuai, showing his new love for fiend spirits after feasting on so many.

“Doesn’t that mean the fiends had to kill their own kind to enter the formation?”

“Humans like to kill other humans. Fiends are no different. Fiends look down on fiend beasts as cultivators look down on ordinary humans,” asserted Qiao Xue. She showed five level four fiend spirits and queried, “How many do we need?”

“I knew you had food on you. Can I have one as a snake?” Xiaoshuai pleaded affectionately.

“Mm... Okay. Here.”

As Xiaoshuai joyously chomped away, he elaborated, “We’ll have big honey peas to eat soon.”Folloow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

“The pills are imprisoned within... Does that mean the big honey peas, rather, an ancient fiend’s fiend spirit, is trapped in there?” inquired Mu Yu, extrapolating from Xiaoshuai’s definition of a small honey pea as a fiend spirit.

Mu Yu couldn’t explain why the formation didn’t activate when nothing appeared out of place.

“I smell big honey peas outside.”

Mu Yu and Xiaoshuai followed after Xiaoshuai, returning to the entrance. The scenery outside was completely different to their memories. The stone bridge connecting the waterfall and cave as well a section of the waterfall was missing. There was a black line crossing through the light above.

Mu Yu posed the question, “The bridge is above us. That’s the waterfall’s exit. How did we end up below the bridge?”

“It’s a fiend formation. The formation manipulated the cave.” Qiao Xue tried to fly up, but a force hindered her.

“Really? We can’t fly?” Mu Yu attempted to fly to no avail. “Curiosity kills the cat. Why did I follow you?!”

Qiao Xue peered down at the dark abyss. “What’s the plan now?”

Mu Yu knocked on his head as he replied, “I thought you knew this place. You’re asking the wrong person. You’re more qualified to be the tourist guide than I am.”

Xiaoshuai sniffed the air and peered down. “The big honey peas are down here.”

Mu Yu could feel the dark and cold breeze against his face upon looking down. He, apparently, heard a high-pitched voice coming from below, but he didn’t hear it once he honed in on it. “Do we really have to go down there?”

“Of course. How are we going to eat the big honey peas if we don’t go down?”

Qiao Xue answered with action.
