Infinite Awakening: My Exp Doubles Everyday novel Chapter 304

Chapter 304: Trigger Word

Chen Wuji climbed over the edge of the mountain peak, his breath heavy.

"What the hell was up with that tribulation? I almost died," he thought bitterly, his jaw clenched in frustration.

He was particularly angry because it seemed the elder assigned to watch over them hadn’t bothered to come save him when he was in danger. He’d been forced to use his own precious treasures to escape the deadly lightning strikes, and he’d even lost a few of his followers in the process. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Hmph, all those Integration realm powerhouses are always so full of themselves," he muttered under his breath, his hands clenching into fists.

"Always acting as if everyone else in the world is beneath them."

"Just you wait," he thought with determination burning in his eyes. "One day, I’ll also reach that realm. No, I’ll reach the legendary Tribulation Transcendence realm just like the sect master."

As these thoughts filled his mind, his eyes finally noticed something that made him freeze completely.

A few feet away from where he stood, sat a woman of incredible beauty. Her long white hair swayed gently in the mountain breeze, floating as if charged by lightning.

The sight was so breathtaking that it left him completely mesmerized.

As he stood there staring in stunned silence, the sounds of his remaining companions finally reached his ears. "Senior Brother, wait for us!" they called out breathlessly as they struggled to climb up. But when they finally crested the edge and saw what had captured his attention, they too froze in place.

"A fairy?" one of them spoke unconsciously.

Chen Wuji thought to himself that it truly was a fairy. She was even more beautiful than his arrogant junior sister who always put on airs back at the sect.

He was about to speak up and introduce himself, but he suddenly froze as Li Yao slowly opened her eyes. Her cold gaze met theirs and the temperature suddenly went down.

"You’re finally here," Li Yao spoke.

Chen Wuji was confused at first, but then a wide smile spread across his face.

"As expected," he thought, "the fairy was actually waiting for me. I always knew I was the chosen one."

He stretched out his hand confidently and tried moving forward to properly meet the fairy, but he suddenly discovered that he couldn’t move at all. His body felt as if it had been encased in a solid block of ice, completely immobilizing him.

"Eh? Eh? Eeeh?"

He struggled desperately, panic beginning to set in as he realized something was terribly wrong. Before him, he saw the fairy’s cold gaze intensify, her lips moving slightly though he couldn’t make out the words clearly from this distance.

Was she calling for him? Just as this thought crossed his mind, he suddenly heard a whisper reach his ears: "Don’t look at me with those disgusting eyes."

His eyes widened in shock, not just because of the words, but because the fairy was now standing directly in front of him. Her sword just inches away from cleaving his head clean off.

Suddenly, she didn’t look like a fairy anymore but rather the goddess of death.

"Oh no! Save me!" he tried to shout, but he still couldn’t move or speak.

Suddenly, the icy prison shattered around him.

He gasped desperately for air as he felt himself being freed from the frozen space.

"Get lost!" The words weren’t spoken by the fairy this time, but came from a deep, masculine voice.

Before he could fully process what was happening, he found himself flying through the air together with his remaining men.

Below, where he had just been standing moments before, he saw a figure in elder’s robes land before the white-haired fairy.

"So you finally showed up," he thought.

As the words left her mouth, she suddenly noticed the elder’s blank expression, and it was then that she realized what she had just said out loud.

Her cheeks flushed slightly with embarrassment.

"Ahem," she cleared her throat hastily, trying to recover her composure. "He dares to stare at me like that. Not even the Yellow River could wash away his sins."

[-_-]

The elder stared at her for a long moment, wondering if she was just going to pretend she hadn’t just referred to herself as property.

He shook his head to dismiss those thoughts. This girl clearly wasn’t entirely right in the head so there was no need to bother with her.

She had mentioned having a senior brother, could this be the powerful cultivator he had been sensing?

"Where is this senior brother of yours? I’d love to have a word with him," he said.

As he spoke these words, Li Yao suddenly felt a sharp pain shoot through her head, causing her to instinctively hold her face with one hand.

"Dammit, calm down," she whispered.

As the pain gradually receded, she stretched her hands and looked back at the elder.

"Is the senior brother scared?" He asked mockingly. "Senior brother! Senior brother!"

Suddenly, the world froze around him and his eyes locked with Li Yao’s who had just teleported before him.

"You really should stop saying that word, a part of me is quite sensitive to it."
