2332 Whose Barrier
Shock flashed across Jian Fengchi’s eyes. This pressure… seems to be surging from Xiao Ba? But isn’t she a true god? How could she cause such a huge commotion?
But at this moment, Shu Jing was in a fit of anger and didn’t notice anything wrong. She grabbed Xiao Ba’s wrist and raised her hand to hit her again!
Swoosh!
There was a sudden sound of air being torn apart as a folding fan hit her wrist ruthlessly.
Shu Jing was in pain and subconsciously let go. Then, she glared at Jian Fengchi angrily. “You!”
Jian Fengchi hurriedly said, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I wanted to stop Xiao Ba, but I didn’t expect to hit you. Eighth Deity, are you alright?”
Shu Jing was furious. Jian Fengchi is clearly helping Xiao Ba!
“Okay! Okay! You guys are really rebelling!”
Xiao Ba’s eyes were fixed on Shu Jing. Her red lips curled into an enchanting smile, but her eyes were extremely cold. “Oh? Who did you say is rebelling?”
Her voice was as soft and sweet as ever, but when she emphasized it now, it carried an indescribable dignity!
Shu Jing’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Ba. For some reason, when she met those eyes that seemed to contain a cold smile, she suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and see the deepest part of her!
The wind chime grass swayed, and the stream flowed faster, with waves surging.
Xiao Ba said, “Shu Jing, this medicinal mountain… You’re not qualified to manage it!”
Shu Jing screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “If I’m not qualified, are you!?”
Xiao Ba didn’t speak and just stared at her.
The token hanging on her waist trembled slightly. The words on it were rich and bright, almost breaking out!
“It seems like if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you’ll never realize what mistake you’ve made!” As soon as she finished speaking, the aura around Shu Jing suddenly soared!
However, there was no panic on Xiao Ba’s face. Instead, the corners of her lips curled up into a mocking smile.
Jian Fengchi glanced at her, and the corners of his eyes twitched. How could Xiao Ba still smile at a time like this? She is really not afraid of offending Shu Jing!
With a move, Jian Fengchi came to Xiao Ba’s side and pulled her behind him. He whispered, “Xiao Ba, you’re too bold!”
Having been slapped, Shu Jing will definitely take proper revenge! Does Xiao Ba still want to continue staying in Fantasy Divine Palace in the future!?
Xiao Ba brushed her hair back and smiled enchantingly. “What’s there to be afraid of? I want to see how she can teach me a lesson.”
Jian Fengchi was about to say something when he suddenly saw a barrier slowly appear not far away.
The barrier was a faint green, and there were some strange patterns engraved on it.
After taking a closer look, Jian Fengchi could tell that it was a Xuan formation!
But on this Xuan formation, countless lines intersected with each other—it was extremely complicated. If one looked at it for a long time, it would even give one a headache.
Jian Fengchi retracted his gaze and was still a little shocked. “Is that the barrier that the Eighth Deity mentioned before?!”
Xiao Ba turned around and smiled.
Jian Fengchi didn’t see her current expression. Worried, he looked at Shu Jing. If it’s a deity, the two of us will definitely not be able to win. We have to think of a way…
But at this moment, the force surging in Shu Jing’s body suddenly dissipated into the surroundings. The force that had just been mobilized dissipated silently!
Shu Jing was shocked. She widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at her hands.
The pressure accumulated in her palm was also extinguished with a bang!
She panicked for a moment, then tried to mobilize the energy around her again. But before she could attack, it dissipated again.
Shu Jing’s heart sank! Then, she suddenly thought of something and looked up.
The barrier had appeared again at some point in time, and the force that dissipated from her body surged toward the barrier quietly.
It was this barrier that forcibly deprived her of her force!
Shu Jing felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over her head. An indescribable chill suddenly surged from the bottom of her heart, making her tremble slightly. This barrier… this barrier…
Jian Fengchi saw that something was wrong with her expression and turned around to take a look. He was also shocked on the spot. Isn’t this the barrier of the Eighth Deity? Why is it suddenly attacking her now?
Shu Jing suddenly turned and left quickly!
She was very fast and her footsteps were hurried. Her back view actually carried a hint of panic and embarrassment.
Jian Fengchi blinked. “She… left just like that?!”
Didn’t she say that she would teach us a lesson? She actually suffered a slap from Xiao Ba for nothing?
“The Eighth Deity is really interesting…” As Jian Fengchi spoke, he looked at Xiao Ba and said worriedly, “Although she has left, with her personality, she will definitely not let today’s matter rest…”
Xiao Ba smiled. “What’s there to be afraid of? She’s like a clay Bodhisattva crossing the river now. She can’t even protect herself, so how can she have the time to care about us?”
“What do you mean?”
“Look at that barrier. She’s in charge of guarding the medicinal mountain, but she can’t even control this…” Xiao Ba sneered. “I thought she was very powerful, yet it turns out that she just looks strong on the outside but is actually weak. What a waste of my feelings.”
Jian Fengchi was speechless. “Xiao Ba.”
“Hm?”
“Do you feel that… you seem to be getting more and more arrogant?”
Listen to yourself. How many people dares to scold the Eighth Deity like this? You not only scolded her but even slapped her.
Jian Fengchi felt that Shu Jing had probably never been bullied like this before. Looking at her just now, she simply wished she could tear Xiao Ba apart.
Xiao Ba blinked her beautiful eyes. Her thick and curled eyelashes fluttered gently like a small fan.
Her eyes moved as she wheedled humbly. “I didn’t.”
Jian Fengchi trembled and took a step back with cupped fists. “Aunt, let’s talk things out.”
When he thought of Xiao Ba’s slap just now, his heart was still trembling.
Xiao Ba snorted and walked back.
Jian Fengchi thought for a moment and followed her. Heremarked worriedly, “Speaking of which, I’m afraid Shu Jing will really bear a grudge…”
Xiao Ba yawned carelessly. “Hasn’t she always been like this? What’s there to worry about?”
“What if she finds us again—”
Xiao Ba waved her hand. “Then, I’ll be merciful and give her another slap. Two will do.”
It wouldn’t be good if there were more. It would hurt her hand.
Xiao Ba looked at her hand with heartache. “Look at how thick-skinned she is. My nails are almost scratched.”
Jian Fengchi was speechless.
As the two of them spoke, they arrived in front of the barrier.
Jian Fengchi suddenly thought of something and turned around to take a look. The surrounding plants gradually stopped shaking, and the waves in the stream calmed down bit by bit.
