1914 Exhausting Our Spiritual Energy?

Before Qi Xuanxuan could get encircled by the ghost spirits, she quickly retreated backwards.

Afterwards, Qi Xuanxuan turned to Qiao Mu and blinked. "What did you notice, Qiaoqiao?"

When Mo Lian saw the little fellow's befuddled but adorkable expression, he burst out in laughter.

Afterwards, as the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal slowly savored an appetizer, he raised his chopsticks and said, "Don't waste your energy! It's not like you guys didn't find out that this little fellow can't see ghost spirits at all."

So sorry, the little one simply isn't able to see your funny experiment!

Don't you see her utterly confounded expression?

Qi Xuanxuan was at a loss for words.

So she was simply preaching to deaf ears by performing this experiment in front of Qiaoqiao!

She gave up and ran back to Qiao Mu, grabbing a hibiscus pastry to nibble on.

Qiao Mu looked at her curiously. "What did you want me to see just now?"

Ghost spirits?

Qiaoqiao was also quite vexed that she was unable to see ghost spirits.

Why couldn't she see what everybody else could see with their spiritual conscious?

"Don't worry about seeing them. It's not like they're anything lovely. They look gruesome and ugly, so it's perfect that you can't see them," Feng Chen remarked.

Crown Prince Mo gave a rare nod of agreement, as well. "Qiaoqiao, are you not able to sense the slightest trace of the ghost spirits' presence?"

Qiao Mu nodded emphatically. She also found this extremely strange.

"Xuanxuan was doing an experiment just now." The little fatty Kou Hongwen explained, "The ghost spirits swarm toward her every time she is more than eight feet away from you, but they leave on their own once she comes back to your side."

"That's why your body constitution is rather unusual, Qiaoqiao! Is this the legendary ghost spirit-dispelling constitution?" Ma Ta mused while rubbing his chin.

"Ah? Does such a strange constitution exist?" Qi Xuanxuan was mystified.

"Of course not, don't listen to Ma Ta's nonsense." The little fatty rolled his eyes at Ma Ta and explained, "I've only heard of an innate spiritual water constitution, innate pure origin constitution, and the like. The ghost spirit-dispelling constitution he says doesn't exist."

Qi Xuanxuan glared at Ma Ta before giving a nod. "Mhm."

"Don't overthink it. This is a good thing." Lu Yu said with a smile, "The ghost spirits will disperse on their own as long as we stand next to Qiaoqiao. Isn't that pretty good."

As they spoke, Zhou Danjin, Wei Xu, and the other three mentors ran over while panting. Zhou Danjin grabbed a cup from the table and filled it with water. "There are too many ghost spirits here. We will definitely exhaust our spiritual energy if we continue getting tangled up with them."

"Rest a bit first, Mentor!" Qi Xuanxuan urged.

"I'm afraid that there will be more and more ghost spirits later." The five mentors all took a seat. Zhou Danjin then looked toward Qiao Mu. "Are you able to transfer us again?"

"It is possible, but the destination is uncertain. If we return back to the start, then all of this trouble would've been for nothing," Qiao Mu replied indifferently.

Zhou Danjin gritted his teeth. "It certainly won't do for things to go on like this. The moment everybody exhausts their spiritual energy will be the moment we… huh?"

Afterwards, Zhou Danjin looked at Mentor Wei Xu, the person pulling his sleeve. "Why're you pulling me?"

Wei Xu handed him a pastry before also expressionlessly eating one himself.

"I'm talking about important stuff here!" Zhou Danjin grumbled as he bit on the pastry.

Dumb*ss! Wei Xu was worried about his IQ.
