No one is born to like depravity, and Fang Jia is no exception.
The reason why she gave up on practicing cultivation early was not because she was willing to degenerate, but because she had self-awareness and knew that she did not have the talent, determination and courage.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is no comparison.
Especially when her friend Chen Mengzhu practiced hard and failed to make a breakthrough, she would inevitably have her own little thoughts. Look, even if you work harder than me and have more courage than me, so what? You still can't make a breakthrough?
But when she saw that Chen Mengzhu had truly broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power, this little thought immediately turned into something very complicated.
Even if people are in hell, they are still accustomed to looking up to heaven.
"Mengzhu, congratulations, you have become the core disciple of the Chen family. Alas, I am so stressed. I don't know when I will be able to keep up with you." Zhou Jun was the first to react. Although it was congratulations, he still
frowning.
Chen Mengzhu was originally stronger than him, and now he has broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power, so his pursuit will be a bit difficult.
Everyone laughed and said congratulations one after another.
It's just that except for Wang Zhongxing, everyone else is more or less sincere in what they say.
Chen Mengzhu understood their mentality very well. If it were his former self, he would probably be a little disappointed.
She thanked everyone, then put away the body of the Blue Water Golden Eyed Beast, and said: "Since everything is fine, let's go back. The trial is over."
Several people hesitated and nodded.
Originally, they had the intention of having some fun after killing the Blue Water Golden Eyed Beast, but after seeing Chen Mengzhu break through to the fourth level of magical power, their intention immediately faded away.
People are not afraid of others being worse off than themselves, but they are afraid of being better than themselves.
However, Jiang Chaochao and others rushed all the way to get here and exhausted a lot of energy, so they needed to recover and rest. Anyway, they were not in a hurry, so they decided to set off again the next morning.
Chen Mengzhu didn't want to disturb their recovery, so he walked casually towards Xia Chen.
"Mengzhu..." Suddenly, Fang Jia, who had never spoken before, called her from behind.
"Huh?" Chen Mengzhu turned around and looked at her in slight surprise: "Fang Jia, why don't you take a rest?"
Fang Jia looked a little complicated: "I want to tell you something evil."
Chen Mengzhu was startled, then smiled and nodded.
The two women walked slowly to the beach. Fang Jia remained silent until a long time passed before he said: "Mengzhu. Congratulations to you. You finally broke through to the fourth level of supernatural power and became a core disciple. Your future is bright."
It will definitely be brilliant.”
She had actually already said congratulations once, and saying it again now was obviously just to transition into saying something else.
Chen Mengzhu naturally heard it and said with a smile: "Thank you."
Fang Jia listened to her calm tone. She couldn't help but feel sour in her heart and felt a little uncomfortable. She suppressed her emotions: "Mengzhu, I'm very curious, how did you kill the Blue Water Golden Eyes Beast? It's so powerful, how did you do it?
If you have the courage to face it, can you tell me about it?"
Chen Mengzhu said lightly: "There is nothing to say. In fact, the Blue Water Golden Eyes Beast is not as powerful as we imagined, and its vitality is severely damaged. As long as we can overcome the fear in our hearts, we can kill it."
She said it in an understatement, but she would never forget the intense thrill of life and death when the ferocious green water golden-eyed beast rushed towards her when she was seriously injured.
The breakthrough to the fourth level of magical power may seem like just a moment, but isn’t it a gamble with one’s life?
Fang Jia opened her mouth to speak, wanting to say something, but she didn't say it. It wasn't until half a moment later that she asked tentatively: "Mengzhu, you can kill the blue water golden-eyed beast and break through the fourth level of magical power. Is it a match?"
That casual cultivator Xia Chen... has something to do with it."
Fang Jia is not a fool. Before she left, she knew that Chen Mengzhu was still called Daoist Xia Chen.
No matter what, she won't believe it even to death.
Chen Mengzhu's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt like her secret had been peeked into. She glanced at Fang Jia and said with a smile: "Why do you want to ask him? You don't seem to pay much attention to him."
Fang Jia's face looked a little strange: "I... I'm just curious. I remember you said you wanted to go with me, but after you went to Xia Chen's place, your attitude completely changed, and then you and he both stayed.
Down, and then...you broke through to the fourth level of supernatural power. I don't want to gossip, Mengzhu, but I do want to know if he was grateful for your life-saving grace and gave you some help before you broke through.
?”
Chen Mengzhu was silent and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
She already understood the true meaning of Fang Jia's conversation with her, but she was not willing to share Xia Chen's affairs with others. Unknowingly, Xia Chen had become the most precious and biggest secret in her heart, which could only belong to her.
one person
After a long time, she said calmly: "Fang Jia, Xia Chen doesn't owe us anything. We did save him easily, but he also gave us two low-grade treasure pills, which is equivalent to repaying the kindness. As for my decision to stay,
I was definitely influenced by him, and if that’s considered help, then so be it.”
Fang Jia bit his lips and suddenly became excited: "We saved his life, how can we repay it with two low-grade treasure pills? Since he can let you break through the fourth level of supernatural power, he can also let me break through the fourth level of supernatural power.
.”
Chen Mengzhu looked at her in surprise: "You gave up practicing on your own. Besides, why should Xia Chen help you? He doesn't owe us anything, let alone he can't help you."
Fang Jia's face flushed and her voice became louder: "If there is a chance to break through to the fourth level of supernatural power, who would give up? Who would be willing to have no control over their own actions? Mengzhu, you said you don't want to live a miserable life, do you think that's what I want?
Now that you have broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power, and you are the core disciple of the Chen family, do you not want to care about me as a sister?"
Chen Mengzhu frowned and said: "Fang Jia, I have not become a core disciple of the Chen family, and I have never said that I will ignore you. However, the fourth level of supernatural power cannot be broken through with help. It must rely on personal efforts."
"Haha." Fang Jia couldn't help laughing sarcastically, "Of course you can say these beautiful empty words now, because you are at the fourth level of supernatural power, and I also know that it depends on personal efforts. But if no one helps me, how can I work hard?
Didn't you also break through with Xia Chen's help? Otherwise, you worked very hard before, why couldn't you break through the third level of magical power?"
Chen Mengzhu looked at Fang Jia's red face in silence. They had known each other since childhood and had been good friends until they were adults. They used to think they knew everything about her, but now, Chen Mengzhu felt that she had never really understood Fang Jia.
She suppressed the disgust in her heart and said calmly: "I don't know what help you are referring to? I don't deny that Xia Chen helped me, but he only gave me encouragement and gave me the courage to face Bishuijin.
Only with the courage of Eyes Beast can I break through. Rather than helping me, I would rather say that he taught me how to grow."
"I don't believe it." Fang Jia sneered, "Just encouragement can make you face such a terrifying blue water golden-eyed beast? This is too ridiculous. Since Xia Chen helps you, why can't he help me?
I'll go find him."
She stopped and turned around to fly in the direction of Xia Chen.
"What are you doing? You can't go." Chen Mengzhu was startled and reached out to stop her, with a bit of sternness in his voice.
"What am I doing? I want to ask you what you are doing?" Fang Jia said angrily, "Xia Chen is just a low-status casual cultivator. Do you want to quarrel with me for him? Or do you have selfish motives and don't want me to fight with you?
Did he contact?"
"You..." Chen Mengzhu also showed anger in his eyes, but did not continue.
She did have selfish motives, but this selfishness was different from what Fang Jia was referring to. Fang Jia thought that she did not want her to seek help from Xia Chen, but Chen Mengzhu simply did not want her to have contact with Xia Chen.
Fang Jia snorted heavily, ignored him, and then turned into a ray of light and flew away into the distance.
Chen Mengzhu gritted his teeth and followed. After all, she and Fang Jia had been friends for many years. No matter how much they quarreled, they would never start a dispute.
"Xia Chen." Fang Jiafei flew to the high rock by the seaside, looked at Xia Chen who was standing upright, looking at the sea, and shouted loudly.
"Is something wrong?" Xia Chen said calmly without looking back.
"Since you can help Chen Mengzhu break through the fourth level of magical power, you can also help me break through the fourth level of magical power." Fang Jia went straight to the point, "Don't forget, it was me who saved your life."
"Who said I helped her break through to the fourth level of magical power?" Xia Chen frowned and turned around.
"Okay, stop covering it up." Fang Jia said angrily, "Without you, could she have broken through to the fourth level of supernatural power? What exactly did you give her? We saved you together, why do you only help her and not me.
You owe me, do you know?"
With a whoosh, Chen Mengzhu flew over and landed on the high rock. He just heard these words and his expression changed.
Xia Chen's face darkened and he said calmly: "Get out!"
Fang Jia was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Xia Chen in disbelief, gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say, say it again."
Snap! A slap came from the air and hit her face hard. She screamed and flew away.
"Get lost!" Xia Chen's faint voice came out of thin air.
"Damn you bastard, I'll kill you and cut you into pieces." Fang Jia's face was covered in blood and she howled like a she-wolf. She struggled to get up from the ground and was about to rush up to fight Xia Chen.
"Fang Jia, have you had enough trouble? Come back." Chen Mengzhu fell down from the high rock angrily and stopped in front of her.
"Get out of the way, Chen Mengzhu, I have to give this stinky cultivator some color today." Fang Jia was furious. No one had ever treated her like this since she was a child. "If you want to stop me again, don't do it."
Accept me as your sister again."
A chill flashed in Chen Mengzhu's beautiful eyes, and he reached out to grab her, trying to take her away by force.
"Let her go and let her come up." Xia Chen's faint voice suddenly came, "I want to see how she gives me pleasure?"
Chen Mengzhu's hands froze and he said awkwardly: "Why do you have to be the same as her?"
