Junior Brother Always Wants to Bend Me

old of Gu Feng’s arm and held on securely.
Immediately after, they went through the entrance together.

The light curtain had the limpid appearance of a lake’s surface.
When Gu Feng pierced through, the light curtain suddenly began to distort, ripples quickly covering the surface like waves on water, while a tendril emerged and sucked the two within. 

As soon as they entered, before they even had come to a stop, Gu Feng sensed a surprise attack arriving from all directions. Fuck, a sneak attack this early was too insidious.

Gu Feng evaded and dispersed the attack in a single move.
After quickly coming to a halt, he finally had a chance to get a good look at the people who attacked them.
He and Su Mujin seemed to have drawn the short straw when entering the secret realm.
Their attackers were a group of wooden puppets.
Though there were only about a dozen, each and every one of them had the aura of a middle stage golden core cultivator.
Without waiting for Gu  Feng to counter attack, the puppets launched another assault.

Gu Feng, “.
.
.”

Damned cheating Heavens! Do you dare to challenge me? 

’

“Xiao Jin, although these puppets are in the middle of the golden core stage, their attacks are clumsy.
For the time being, it’s not difficult to deal with them.
But we must find their weakness as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, with this many puppets, they’ll wear us down and kill us.” Gu Feng kept fighting the puppets as he shouted the warning.

“No problem, Gege.
We’ll first try attacking their heads and hearts.
You take the head, I’ll take the heart?” Su Mujin asked while panting.

“Great!”

Hardly had he finished speaking, when the two of them simultaneously launched their attacks at their targets.
The two puppets merely paused before once again resuming their assault. 

“No good, let’s try another spot.”

The two of them tried numerous targets, but all of them were wrong.
The puppets seemed to lack a single weak point.
No matter how strongly they were hit, they showed no sign of damage.
The two humans were already dripping with sweat, and the situation looked anything but reassuring.

“This isn’t working.
Try using your ‘Wind Blade‘!” Gu Feng repelled the puppets once more with his palm, managing to spare the energy to instruct Su Mujin.

“But my ‘Wind Blade’ doesn’t discriminate between friend and foe.
What if I accidentally injure you?” Su Mujin looked a little hesitant. 

“Don’t worry, I have my ways.
Feel free to go all out.” After finishing his words, Gu Feng formed his spiritual qi into a shield around his body.

“Okay!” Su Mujin silently recited the spell.
Countless wind blades appeared all around, and began attacking in all directions.
Cracks started to appear on the surface of the wooden puppets, quickly multiplying.
But still, they ferociously and without fear of death kept rushing forward .
.
.

Finally, one of the puppets came to a stop.
Gu Feng and Su Mujin looked in the direction of that puppet, glanced back at each other, and having come to a silent agreement, they attacked that puppet together.
Gu Feng aimed at the head while Su Mujin took care of the heart.
That puppet truly had ceased.

After that, the duo used the same method to swiftly defeat the remaining puppets. 

“It seems our guess was correct.
These puppets have two control centers — one in the brain and the other in the heart.
If you just attack one or the other, they can rapidly repair themselves, so you must attack both at the same time.
Xiao Jin, how do you always understand what I’m thinking? Could it be you’re the roundworm in my stomach?” Gu Feng collected the damaged puppets, but didn’t forget to tease Su Mujin while he was at it.

’

“Gege, have you ever seen a roundworm that looks as handsome as me?” Su Mujin asked in dead earnest.

“Since when did you become so .
.
.” Gu Feng originally intended to mock him, but upon seeing how Su Mujin looked at that moment, he was stunned.
His vision was fixated, his throat turned dry, and he swallowed his final word, “sappy.”

Su Mujin’s current appearance had a much greater impact on Gu Feng than normal.
His cultivation was a little lower than Gu Feng’s, and while in the middle of the battle just now, his black clothing had been ripped in many places, revealing bits of his fair skin beneath.
His cheeks were flushed faintly red from the exertion of the fight, and together with his messy hair, he looked utterly ravishing. 

Succubus! Gu Feng cursed in his heart, feeling himself once again tempted to commit an indiscretion. Impossible, I am a man of unbending will.
I absolutely must not be lured by beauty. After silently reciting this mantra several times, Gu Feng forced himself to look away.

They were surrounded on all sides by mountain peaks, and they stood at the entrance to a valley filled with a white mist that obscured what lay within.
Since they had already eliminated the puppets guarding it, they knew treasures must lay within.

“.
.
.
Xiao Jin, let’s go in and take a look.
This valley should have some good stuff.” Gu Feng said as he strictly controlled his expression.
His heart was in turmoil, but he had decided not to tell Su Mujin about his ripped clothing. That is also ‘my’ body.
There’s nothing wrong with looking at ‘myself’. Gu Feng rationalized with himself.

Su Mijin silently nodded.
He had a strange feeling about the cold wind emanating from this valley.
It was unnaturally chilly! 

As soon as they entered the valley, the layer of mist suddenly dissipated, and they could see clearly.
A fresh medicinal scent wafted over.
This was the elixir garden of an immortal cultivator.
Because nobody had come to pluck materials from it for countless years, it was abundant with spiritual plants.

“Amazing! Gege, these lingyao can increase your power.
You should quickly absorb them while I’ll watch over you,” Su Mujin exclaimed in delight.
He was happier about this than had these treasures been something he could use himself.

“Okay!” Gu Feng didn’t demur, and began absorbing the energy from the plants on the spot.
He really did need to absorb lingyao in order to advance.
Compared with collecting them bit by bit, directly absorbing the lot was more expedient.

The vast expanse of the field of elixir began to wither.
Having absorbed nearly all the lingyao, Gu Feng had already begun to break through the boundary of the summit of late stage golden core.
The remaining plants he hadn’t yet absorbed were covered in a glittering light, and he was about to study those plants when he heard the footfalls of someone entering the valley.
