Socially awkward female cultivator survives in the cultivation world through online games

However, when he clearly realized that the four people were all at the Foundation Establishment stage or lower, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly returned to its original place.

Nevertheless, his cautious habits, ingrained over the years, still kept him subconsciously at a certain level of vigilance and defensiveness.

He instinctively reached out his right hand, trying to grab Chu Yunyi's slender neck.

However, to his astonishment, a powerful resistance suddenly struck, as if an invisible wall stood between him and Chu Yunyi.

Not only that, he could also faintly feel his cultivation level constantly decreasing!

In an instant, he seemed to wake from a dream and immediately stopped what he was doing.

He recognized the woman before him; she was the one with whom he had formed a bond of love.

In other words, the person standing in front of him is Chu Qianqian from the game.

Because Hua Qi saw the jade pendant at her waist, which carried a trace of his aura.

"Chu Yunyi?"

With a hint of doubt and uncertainty, he asked softly.

"Correct."

Chu Yunyi also noticed his sudden, murderous act just now, and secretly rejoiced that she had formed a bond with him in time.

Otherwise, he would probably be dead by now.

Thinking about this, she couldn't help but marvel at how wise her decision had been.

"Uh... I'm really sorry about that. I thought it was some uninvited guest, so I reacted that way instinctively. I hope you don't mind."

He looked embarrassed and quickly explained.

"Well, it's alright. Anyone would be startled in this situation, after all, no one would expect several people to suddenly appear in front of them."

Chu Yunyi responded with a smile, indicating that she understood his behavior.

In fact, she herself had not expected things to develop this way.

The situation was extremely critical, leaving her no time to think. She used her spiritual power to activate the ring's function, instantly teleporting them here.

"Well, as long as you don't mind, that's fine. Did something suddenly happen to you?"

Hua Qi nodded slightly, then his gaze fell on the three people behind Chu Yunyi, and he already had some guesses in his mind.

Prior to this, relying on the contract perception, he sensed that Chu Yunyi seemed to be in some kind of danger.

However, just as the danger was about to approach, it suddenly vanished without a trace, like smoke.

Therefore, Hua Qi did not take the matter to heart at the time.

But who would have thought that, in the blink of an eye, four people would suddenly appear in front of them!

This sudden turn of events truly startled Hua Qi, and he almost instinctively took action to deal with it.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a sliver of reason pulled him back in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Based on his current understanding, if he were to attack Chu Yunyi, he himself would inevitably suffer the same degree of harm.

This kind of damage is no small matter. Whether the opponent is slightly or seriously injured, no matter how high one's cultivation level is, one cannot avoid some of the damage.

In other words, if he dares to seriously injure Chu Yunyi, he too will suffer serious injury.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Since it was their first meeting and they were not familiar with each other, they didn't know where to begin, and thus fell into an awkward silence.

Time passed second by second. Perhaps the scene was too quiet, so much so that even Cang Huaiyuan, who was standing behind Chu Yunyi, began to tremble with fear.
