Chapter 48: The Birth of the Celestial Fruit

“Luo Xiaoman!” The cold made Wan Zitong’s face grimace.

“Hahaha! You look like a mess after getting hit by the snowball. You appear comical when you’re angry!” Luo Xiaoman stood on the back of the Icy Poisonous Scorpion with her hands akimbo. On the other hand, Wan Zitong’s face darkened, and she looked furious.

The Icy Poisonous Scorpion tried to shake Luo Xiaoman off. However, her foot was firmly entrenched on its back like a strong magnet attached to an iron surface. It couldn’t throw her off no matter what.

“I’ll use another magic weapon.”

Before Wan Zitong could react, Luo Xiaoman unleashed another magic weapon.

Wan Zitong looked intensely and found that it was yet another snowball.

She ignored the ball, and it whizzed by.

Hmph, she wouldn’t fall for the same trick twice.

Just when the snowball passed by Wan Zitong, her heart began racing anxiously.

Her pupils shrank, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the snowball spreading out to reveal something dark inside.

“Rainstorm Pear Blossom!”

Boom!

The pitch-black sphere exploded. Countless needles shot out. Wan Zitong was completely caught off guard.

Wan Zitong’s heart raced wildly. She abruptly stopped in her tracks and waved the long sword in her hand in defense.

However, the needles were too dense and sharp. She could barely deflect them.

After a while, Wan Zitong fell heavily to the ground. Her cloak was torn to pieces by the needles, revealing the straight, phoenix-patterned robe inside.

“Tsk tsk, for the last time, you’re not qualified to be my opponent.” Luo Xiaoman raised her head. Shaking her two braids, she looked at Wan Zitong teasingly.

Currently, the Icy Poisonous Scorpion under her feet was still shaking wildly. However, it still could not get this little girl off.

“Little beast, don’t waste your energy.” She smiled and said triumphantly, “My boots are used especially for mountain climbing. As long as I don’t lift them, they’re stuck on you.”

Buzz!

Suddenly, an aura swept over them.

Wan Zitong stood up slowly, staring at Luo Xiaoman with a bitter expression on her face. “I should thank you for waking me up.”

Oh?

Luo Xiaoman was startled, but her expression became serious.

“Little Master, you’ve truly angered this woman.” The Ring Spirit’s gloating voice sounded in Luo Xiaoman’s mind. “She’s a ninth-level cultivator of Qi, so she can easily kill you.”

Luo Xiaoman squinted her eyes. Of course, she knew how powerful Wan Zitong was. In fact, she had been trying to make her angry since earlier.

She was going to exploit Wan Zitong’s arrogance and temper so that she might forget the fact that she was a level-nine Qi practitioner.

Finally, Wan Zitong slowed down. Realizing how reckless she had been, she was about to get serious.

Clang!

There was a buzz from Wan Zitong’s long sword as it reflected the dazzling light.

She raised her sword and glared at Luo Xiaoman coldly. “Go to hell!”

“Shoot!” Luo Xiaoman jumped off the Icy Poisonous Scorpion onto the skateboard to quickly escape.

The silver light that deflected off the sword formed two deep gullies on both sides of Luo Xiaoman.

At the same time, the Icy Poisonous Scorpion pounced over swiftly. Its olive green eyes flashed with a strong killing intent.

It wanted to tear apart this girl who dared to fool around atop its head.

“Luo Xiaoman, fare…”

Just as Wan Zitong lifted her sword, a shocking aura broke through the ground and turned into a beam of white light before rising into the sky.

Luo Xiaoman was taken aback. She was startled by the beam of white light. Soon after, she saw glowing fruits all around it.

“The Celestial Fruit?!”
