Chapter 694: Scared to Death
Just as Gao Fei was speaking to He Hentian, a chilling aura suddenly erupted from deep within the ancient tomb.
Gao Fei's hair stood on end in an instant, "Not good! The demoness has come out! The wind is tight, haul ass!" Gao Fei turned and ran.
He Hentian reacted just as quickly, following Gao Fei in fleeing the ancient tomb.
The reason the two of them had been shouting at the entrance of the ancient tomb was precisely for the convenience of escape.
"Boom!!!"
A loud bang emanated from the tomb, causing the ground to shake several times.
"Damn, that was close!" Gao Fei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "If we were a moment later... we wouldn't have made it out."
"Such a terrifying demoness," He Hentian muttered, grimacing, "She must be at least at the Tribulation Crossing Period Great Perfection in cultivation." Saying this, He Hentian added another sentence, "The cultivation methods of the Ancient Times were different from now, the cultivators back then cultivated both internally and externally, paying great attention to foundation. They would only advance and increase their cultivation after their foundation was solidified, which means that the cultivators from Ancient Times were much stronger than those of today."
"You're right," Gao Fei nodded, "The cultivation environment of Ancient Times was better than now, with natural treasures everywhere, and spells and secret manuals innumerable. Cultivating in such a favorable environment, their strength was definitely formidable." Saying this, Gao Fei added inwardly, Even if Emperor Dugu Jingtian himself came, he probably wouldn't be a match for the female corpse.
"I really regret not being born in the Ancient Times," He Hentian sighed, "That was truly the golden age for cultivators."
"People nowadays are too impatient. They think about how to increase their cultivation every day, and in the struggle for treasures, they'll resort to any means, be it underhanded or vicious tactics. Even brothers and sisters can turn against each other. Quality, morals, conscience, they've all been discarded," said Gao Fei, "If this continues, human cultivators will sooner or later face misfortune."
"The Primordial Era was the birthplace of Cultivate Immortality. In order to oppose the ferocious beasts and the harsh environment, human ancestors created the cultivation methods and enhanced their strength. The Ancient Times were the golden age for Cultivate Immortality. But now... the Cultivate Immortality World has begun to decline, and geniuses are becoming increasingly rare... so much of what the old ancestors passed down has been lost."
"Enough with the reminiscing; let's think about how to deal with the female corpse in the tomb," Gao Fei patted He Hentian on the shoulder, "We just need to take care of ourselves, as for others... let them do as they please; it has nothing to do with us."
"You're right," He Hentian laughed, "Just take care of ourselves."
At that moment, a voice from the female corpse came from the tomb, "If you are men, come down and duel with me!"
"Duel?" Gao Fei grinned and laughed, "We are decent men; we never hit women."
"Exactly, exactly," He Hentian nodded hastily, "We don't hit women."
"Beauty," Gao Fei stepped forward and then spoke toward the entrance of the tomb, "Let's have a chat, shall we? I know you must be lonely, desolate, bored. I can entertain you. Let me tell you a joke first. Once upon a time there was a hen, which not only crowed but also laid eggs..."
"Shut your filthy mouth!" The female corpse roared, "If you are a man, come down and duel with me. If you're scared, then get the hell away from here; don't annoy me with your presence." After throwing down these harsh words, the female corpse huffed away angrily.
"Beauty! Hey, beauty! Don't go!" Gao Fei called out several times, but received no response from the female corpse.
"Stop shouting, she's long gone," He Hentian said with a snort, "This female corpse has quite a personality! I like women with personality!"
"Don't forget, the other party is an old lady who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years."
"So what if she's an old lady? Old ladies have their own charm."
"...You... Your tastes really are different from ordinary people…" Gao Fei said with disdain, "Knowing you is the greatest misfortune of my life."
Bantering had become a habit, and they would exchange barbs whenever they had nothing else to do, with Gao Fei always coming out on top.
"Alright, enough nonsense, I've got serious business to attend to." Gao Fei straightened his clothes, then leaped into the ancient tomb... It wasn't long before he came running out, looking utterly disheveled, "Yikes, what a fierce demoness!"
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Continuous noises came from the tomb, and without asking, one could be sure they were made by the female corpse. She was furious, so furious that she had reached her boiling point. Gao Fei's repeated provocations and nonsensical babble had really made her want to chase him out of the tomb and tear him to pieces, but... she dared not leave the tomb! Because outside it was daytime, and she feared the sunlight...
The female corpse had stayed in the ancient tomb for hundreds of thousands of years, her body already filled with yin energy, leaving only a trace of vitality. At this moment, she was like a living dead person. If she carelessly left the tomb and was exposed to the sunlight, at the least she would be injured and her cultivation would greatly decrease, and at worst, she would be reduced to ashes.
It was precisely because of this concern that, despite Gao Fei's constant provocations, the female corpse still dared not leave the tomb.
She feared death! Terrified of it!
She would live every second she could, absolutely not dying a second early!
"Bastard!!!" The female corpse raged, standing inside the tomb and cursing loudly, "Don't let me catch you! Otherwise, I will tear you limb from limb!!! Agh!!! I'm so angry!!!" She was an ancient Great Cultivator with cultivation that was earth-shattering, and now she was being insulted by a little cultivator at the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. If this got out, who knows how many people would laugh at her.
"Good! I escaped just in time!" Gao Fei touched his rapidly beating heart. Provoking the female corpse in the ancient tomb was really too thrilling, too dangerous. A moment of inattention could result in a tragic death on the spot. He sighed softly, "I'm dancing on the edge of a knife. It looks impressive, but it's so dangerous."
"You take a rest, let me meet her." He Hentian flipped his hair, placed one hand on his hip and pointed at the tomb with the other, then he inhaled, gathered his qi, and bellowed, "Hey! The female corpse hiding in the tomb too scared to come out! Do you dare to bet with me? Do you dare!? Do you dare!!!"
"Screw your mother!" A furious curse sounded from the tomb.
"I knew you wouldn't dare." He Hentian laughed contemptuously, "To think you call yourself an ancient Great Cultivator? Pah! In my book, you're just a cowardly, stinking woman."
"You're cursing me!"
"That's right, I'm cursing you! What about it!"
"Fine, fine, fine! I'll take your bet! Just say it, what are we betting on!" the female corpse said angrily.
Seeing his prey on the hook, He Hentian couldn't help revealing a smug smile on his face, "Don't worry, I won't make it too hard for you. I'm a very conscientious person, I never trouble women... We'll bet on whether you dare to come out of the tomb or not. If you come out, then I lose, and you can do with me as you please. If you don't dare to come out, then you lose. In that case, you'll have to follow my commands, you'll have to do whatever I tell you to do..."
"Shameless!" The female corpse swore loudly, "Despicable and shameless! Bastard! How can there be such a shameless creature like you in this world! Why doesn't the heavens hurry up and strike you down with a bolt of Divine Thunder! Scum like you, living is just a waste of time, waste of air, waste of emotion!" The female corpse's insulting skills were formidable indeed.
