A genius girl with her own space

Wei Wushuang happily picked up Qiqi and spun her around a few times. Then, he kissed her on the cheek. "Master, you're so kind. I've been to the border city of the Great Zhou. Marshal Zhao and his men used diamond arrows during their training. They can penetrate armor and have a strong penetrating power. If they hit a vital point that can't be avoided, it can be fatal."

"Then I don't need to explain to you. Let's go back. Brother Jingze will come looking for us if he sees that we haven't been back for a long time." Qiqi said.

The two of them soon arrived at Fuxiangju. Zhou Jingze was just coming downstairs, intending to look for them on the street.

"Brother Jingze, we are back. I bought a lot of things and I want someone to send them back to the Jiang family in the imperial city."

"Qiqi, don't worry about these. I will arrange for secret guards to send them back. You can buy more things and send them back together." Zhou Jingze said.

At first light, Qiqi heard the cooing of pigeons. Qiqi quickly got up. Zhou Jingze also heard it, jumped out of bed, and ran to the window. He opened the window and waved. A white dove landed in Zhou Jingze's hand. He quickly untied the letter and handed it to Qiqi. He touched the pigeon's head and released it.

Qiqi saw the letter from Wei Wuliang, saying that the sea had changed. The waves were surging, and people on the shore said the hall was about to be revealed. They told the host to go quickly.

Qiqi put on her clothes and went to call Wei Wushuang. Wei Wushuang had gotten up early and was meditating and practicing. When she heard her voice, she immediately came out with her sword in hand.

"Your brother has sent a letter, asking us to go to the beach. Let's go."

Soon, the three of them met up with Wei Wuliang and his two companions.

The center of the ocean seemed to be boiling, gushing outward. A large crowd, perhaps tens of thousands, gathered on the shore, bustling with activity, waiting for the temple to emerge from the water.

They waited for about three-quarters of an hour before the hall was revealed. Slowly, the entire hall came into view. In front of the hall was a large platform. The hall itself was hazy and unclear.

Soon, the sect members flew onto the platform, and no one dared to go up the steps of the hall.

A few brave souls were eager to try. A bearded man stepped forward and was immediately engulfed in flames. He quickly tried to put out the flames, but they only grew larger. His companions rushed over to put them out, but they were also engulfed in flames. They removed their burning clothes, saving their lives. The bearded man howled, then was reduced to ash in a moment, blown away by the wind. His ashes were scattered into the sea.

Many people retreated in fear. Still, someone remained skeptical. Using their spiritual energy to shield themselves, they took the first step. The spiritual energy acted like a protective shield, shielding them from the flames. But this person wasn't feeling well either, and he quickly took the second step. Instantly, his legs froze. He tried to retreat, but couldn't even move a step. His entire body was frozen solid. Instantly, he was pulverized into a jelly-like powder, seeping into the steps.

Even the people in the sect were surprised. This was due to insufficient cultivation. Some, like the two just now, did not dare to step forward.

Seeing they were trying to retreat, the sect members grabbed a retreating person and threw him to the third step. As soon as he reached the third step, he was riddled with hidden weapons. The sect members grabbed another person and threw him to the fourth step. Swords emerged from the bottom of the steps and cut off his legs.

Many clever people fled back to the seaside. They knew they would be cannon fodder if they went back. It would be better to return now and save their lives.

There were nine steps in total, and everyone in the sect had tried. Several of the larger sects discussed it together. Dozens of people simultaneously grabbed people from other sects and threw them down the nine steps. After several consecutive throws, they quickly formed several footholds. They stepped on the bodies of these people and flew to the main hall's entrance. Together, they forced the door open.

There were many flowers planted inside. Qiqi and the other six followed behind, flying in at a low altitude and avoiding stepping on the corpses. They felt pity for those people. But even the most pitiful people have their own hateful qualities.

When Xiao Rui was picking up those people at the sect, he told Qiqi that they weren't good people. They'd ganged up on others the day before, some killing people for treasures, and some severely injuring them. He didn't want them to participate in the treasure search in the main hall, so they could get a bigger share.

Qiqi knew they were not good people, so she chose not to save them.

The sect members stepped on the flowers and ran towards the main hall. The flowers seemed to have eyes and dodged. Vines then entwined themselves around Xi'er's legs. Those with advanced martial arts skills dodged them, while others used swords to cut through the vines and escaped into the main hall. Those with less martial arts skills and slower reactions were dragged away by the vines. The vines and flowers eventually returned to their original state, swaying gracefully in the courtyard once again, attracting more people and mosquitoes.

Qiqi set fire to the vines, and the vines parted at the sight of the fire. Qiqi and the others quickly passed by and entered the main hall. There had been tens of thousands of people when they arrived, but now there were less than three hundred left. Some fled, some died. This was truly a case of people dying for money, birds dying for food.

The people who entered the hall quickly dispersed. There were many rooms in the hall, and many people chose to enter the nearest room. Soon, cheers were heard. The people in the hall quickly ran into other rooms to search.

Qiqi and the other six also entered two rooms, forming groups of three. Qiqi, Zhou Jingze, and Wei Wushuang formed a group, while Zhao Yu, Xiaorui, and Wei Wuliang formed another. Qiqi and the other two entered a room, while Zhou Jingze guarded the door, preventing anyone from entering. Qiqi saw several martial arts manuals and books on formations in this room. There were also elixirs. Qiqi, without paying attention, quickly stuffed them into her backpack. Wei Wushuang helped her carry them. Qiqi hadn't told Wei Wushuang and his siblings about her space, so she had to pack everything into her bag. Once inside, Qiqi stored it in her space to prevent Wei Wushuang from getting suspicious.

Qiqi knew it was inconvenient to take Wei Wushuang with her, but she had to protect him, so she had no choice but to divide the group this way.

Qiqi and the others quickly finished cleaning up the room and moved on to the next one. Xiaorui and the others entered a room and asked Zhao Yu to guard the door while he and Wei Wuliang entered the room. They found the room full of Chinese medicinal herbs, which they quickly put into their backpacks.

Not all the rooms in the hall were filled with things. Some were empty, others contained formations that trapped them. Some rooms contained drugs that knocked anyone out, while others contained poison that killed anyone who entered. Some rooms contained hidden weapons, and Xiao Rui and his companions encountered one. Xiao Rui pulled Wei Wuliang out of the room, saving his life. Anyone else would have been shot to pieces.

Wei Wuliang broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly thanked Xiao Rui. "You're Qiqi's host, and this is what I should do. Just like Qiqi said, we're a family," Xiao Rui said. "Follow me when you enter the room. I can protect you in time."

Qiqi and the others also encountered a dangerous situation. They entered a room, and Zhou Jingze stood at the door without entering. Qiqi and Wei Wushuang entered a fantasy world. Qiqi saw Zhou Jingze stabbing at her with a sword. Qiqi called out to him loudly, but he acted as if he didn't hear her. Every sword strike was aimed at Qiqi's vital points, but Qiqi dodged it.

Qiqi sighed, took out her sword and stabbed Zhou Jingze in the chest.
