Miss Loser is too enchanting

What was missing after all? Dugu Qianye walked inside, trying hard to think, wanting to remember. It seemed that the feeling was there in her heart, yet she couldn’t articulate it no matter how hard she tried.

A gust of wind blew, and Dugu Qianye reached out to smooth her hair that had been blown about, and looking at her hand, she suddenly realized what was missing here. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was life! There was no living life here!

There were mountains and waters, but no trees, no plants, no animals, no human habitation!

Where was this place? Dugu Qianye wanted to ask, but she found that her own breathing was the wind here, her bones were connected to the mountains here, and her blood was the rivers here. This place seemed to be her own body!

How could this be? Dugu Qianye wanted to continue exploring when the scenes suddenly retreated rapidly, and she found herself in another place.

This was a sea of fire, and she stood atop it, the scorching wind lashing her face, making it difficult for her to breathe. The flames leaped high and low, and seeing Dugu Qianye, they affectionately darted towards her, rubbing against her feet.

And where was this? Dugu Qianye wondered, then a sudden inspiration struck her—could this be the Domain mentioned in that little book?!

Because it was a fire-attributed Domain, there was nothing here but dark void and red flames. Dugu Qianye tried to feel the connection and discovered that she could actually control everything here! If others entered this place, wouldn’t they be left with no chance to fight back?

This discovery excited her so much that the scenes before her eyes disappeared. She was back on the cliff where she had been sitting, and the two scenes she had just seen were gone.

Everything made her think she had simply had a dream.

"Little junior sister," Hao Pengyou called out to Dugu Qianye as he walked up behind her after she awoke.

Dugu Qianye stood up, saw Hao Pengyou, and asked, "Senior brother, how did you get here?"

"I have been here for a day," said Hao Pengyou.

"A day?"

Dugu Qianye was astonished; she thought she had just watched the sunrise for a moment and then had been lost in thought for a while—how could it have been a day?

"I wanted to come find you yesterday morning. When I arrived, I saw you were comprehending, so I waited behind you, but to think I would wait for a whole day, I’m exhausted! I haven’t slept for a day and a night," Hao Pengyou explained.

"I thought it was just for a moment," said Dugu Qianye, "Was I comprehending the heavenly way just now?"

"Of course, considering your state at that time, your Domain must have also begun to take form, right?" Hao Pengyou asked.

"Senior brother, I want to ask you about something. I saw two scenes just now—an area with mountains and water, but no life, like an unfinished world. Another scene was a sea of fire. What is happening? Isn’t it said that a person generally only has one Domain?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"The sea of fire you described does sound like the Domain Master mentioned, but the one before that probably isn’t. As for the specifics, I don’t know either. Let’s ask Master when we go back," Hao Pengyou suggested.

Dugu Qianye nodded and then remembered that Hao Pengyou had come to look for her. She asked, "Senior brother, did you want to see me for something?"

"Um, I just came to discuss our upcoming travel plans with you," Hao Pengyou said.

"The injury I sustained was also because of me. Although the wound has healed, it still needs proper recuperation," Dugu Qianye said guiltily. "Why don’t we go to the nearest Spiritual Master Association and use the Transmission Array to go to Mushroom City?"

"Then we can rest here for two more days before we depart. It’s only a two-day journey to the nearest city from here," Hao Pengyou said, stretching lazily. "Ah, I’ve been sitting until my butt is sore from all your enlightenment sessions—I’m going back to sleep. Are you coming with me?"

Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou went back together. Fen Qingran, who was now in no grave danger, was outside chatting with Zhong Bo, and Fen Qingrou was listening by his side. Seeing Dugu Qianye and Hao Pengyou return eased everyone’s concerns slightly.

Yesterday morning Hao Pengyou had sent a message back, telling everyone they had something to attend to and it was uncertain when they could return, advising everyone not to worry. Although they knew that the two were quite strong, they still couldn’t help but feel anxious.

"Senior brother, how’s your injury?" Dugu Qianye came over and asked.

"With your miraculous spirit pills, I’m already fine now," Fen Qingran said.

Dugu Qianye nodded, checked Fen Qingran’s injury one more time, and then relaxed.

"We’ll rest here for two days and then go to the nearest city to use the Transmission Array to return. It’s better for you to recuperate a bit more so that there won’t be any issues in the Transmission Array," Hao Pengyou said. "Um, I’m going to sleep now."

After finishing speaking, Hao Pengyou went back to his tent and threw himself onto his warm, soft bed. Dugu Qianye didn’t know how he managed to level up being so fond of sleep until she later found out that he would unconsciously absorb spiritual energy into his body while asleep. That rate was even faster than when he was awake and cultivating.

This was even more formidable than an external aid! Falling asleep and becoming more powerful suited his lazy nature perfectly.

Since they weren’t in a hurry to travel, everyone stayed in the mountains for a few more days. Fen Qingran rested and healed, Hao Pengyou slept, Zhong Bo cultivated, and even Fen Qingrou, seldom quiet, settled down to cultivate, probably stimulated by Dugu Qianye. Meanwhile, Dugu Qianye started researching her unformed Domain. Everyone was busy with their own tasks and didn’t contact the outside world, hence they were unaware of the brewing storm outside.

At the Spiritual Master Association in Longhua City, a silver light flashed across the Transmission Array, and Bai Fenglan and her maidservant’s figures appeared within the Array. The person in charge of the Array, seeing that it was Bai Fenglan, was about to greet her when he saw her glare at him and then hurriedly walk away.

"Huh? Although Bai Fenglan usually doesn’t like to interact with others, she’s not usually like this. Why does it feel like she has a grudge against me?" the person mused and didn’t take it to heart. Little did they know, it wasn’t a grudge against him, but against the Spiritual Master Association.

After leaving the Spiritual Master Association, Bai Fenglan went straight to the Beast Trainer Guild Headquarter. The Guild Headquarter’s leader, Bai Xinyan, was discussing with some beast tamers how to improve the spiritual power of the Beast Tamers, and was very surprised to see Bai Fenglan, asking, "Why have you returned?"

When Bai Fenglan saw Bai Xinyan, she threw herself into his arms and began to sob, "Grandfather, you must avenge Fei’er!"

"What happened?" Bai Fenglan’s father, Bai Hongsheng, seeing his daughter rush back suddenly, speaking of revenge, asked.

"Grandfather, Father, Jin Peng and Fei’er have been killed! Woo, now I’m the only one left. How am I supposed to go on, Grandfather, you must avenge my husband and son!" Bai Fenglan said.

"What? Fei’er has been killed?" Bai Xinyan asked, "Who is it, who dares to kill my grandson?!"

"It was Dugu Qianye, the new disciple of Shi Honggui. The old ancestor of the Jin Family had taken Jin Peng and three other elders, and none of them returned. Surely there were others from the Spiritual Master Association involved at the time!" Bai Fenglan said.
