My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 455 - 135: [Second Update]

It was the first time Gu Qingqing met someone like Su Xi, and she found it quite refreshing. Although she had already confirmed that Su Xi was a year older than her, in Gu Qingqing’s eyes, Su Xi was the smaller one who needed to be accommodated. However, she wasn’t a spoiled girl; instead, she had a good sense of boundaries, wouldn’t cause trouble, and made people find her quite cute.

Because of this, Gu Qingqing was willing to accommodate Su Xi, which made her feel like she was starting to understand why her senior brothers always indulged her.

"Let me tell you, Geng Geng, although my cousin treats me well, at times I really think she’s an old fossil and lacks human touch. Every time, she manages to resist my adorableness. Don’t you think she’s going too far?" Talking about her cousin Su Yan, Su Xi had a lot to say, all of which were complaints about Su Yan. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Gu Qingqing looked at Su Xi’s smile as she spoke, silently not exposing her.

Although Su Xi continuously complained about Su Yan, Gu Qingqing could see that the two actually had a good relationship, which reminded her of Yun Ran, who was still in the Sub-immortal Realm. Yun Ran was incredibly good to Gu Qingqing, but occasionally would grumble, not allowing Gu Qingqing to do dangerous things, all bark and no bite. They were quite happy when together.

However, Yun Ran’s talent was limited, and she still had attachments in the Sub-immortal Realm, so she wasn’t fit to ascend just yet. Gu Qingqing would probably have to wait quite a while before seeing Yun Ran again.

After walking for about 45 minutes, they came across a Purple Heart Flower. Fortunately, there were no spirit beasts guarding it, and they picked it right away.

Then, after walking for another 30 minutes, they found a patch of Snow Tobacco. Snow Tobacco is a fourth-grade herb in the Immortal Realm, used as a supplementary material in many elixir concoctions. Though not very precious, it was quite in demand, making its price rather high in the Immortal Realm, so finding it was a worthwhile gain. The two happily gathered the Snow Tobacco.

A quarter of an hour later, they stumbled upon a Qiuxi Fruit Tree, laden with about a hundred Qiuxi Fruits. Qiuxi Fruit is a fifth-grade Immortal Elixir ingredient, used in the concoction of Beauty Pills. They are very rare to find, often fetching a price of over ten thousand immortal coins at auctions. Just harvesting the fruits from this tree could make Gu Qingqing and Su Xi instant little tycoons.

"So many Qiuxi Fruits! We’re going to be rich!" Su Xi’s eyes lit up as she looked at the fruits on the tree, instinctively walking towards it, wanting to pick a Qiuxi Fruit. Just as her hand was about to touch the fruit, something black, like a whip, shot towards her.

"Watch out!" Gu Qingqing shouted, quickly moving to Su Xi’s side and grabbing her arm, pulling her away from the tree.

They retreated more than ten meters before finally steadying themselves.

"Thank you, Geng Geng." Su Xi patted her chest, still startled, and thanked Gu Qingqing.

"It’s good you’re okay." Gu Qingqing shook her head and looked towards the Qiuxi Fruit Tree.

There appeared a red scorpion about three meters long; the tail that had just attacked Su Xi belonged to this scorpion.

This was a giant scorpion known as the Red Scorpion King. They have extremely hard bodies, and their tails are highly lethal, with venomous tips. A strike could kill even a Golden Immortal instantly.

The Red Scorpion King before them seemed to have just reached adulthood, its cultivation level not yet at the Golden Immortal Realm, only at the Peak of Taiyi True Immortal Realm, the same as Su Xi’s cultivation. For Su Xi and Gu Qingqing, dealing with just one was no problem at all.

"Looks like the Guardian Beast of this Qiuxi Fruit Tree is this Red Scorpion King, its cultivation is only at the Peak of Taiyi True Immortal Realm, nothing to be afraid of." Gu Qingqing said to Su Xi next to her as she looked at the Red Scorpion King.

"Geng Geng, you fall back, I’ll handle the Red Scorpion King." Su Xi, thinking about how gorgeous Gu Qingqing was, certainly couldn’t let her step in, so she drew her sword, stood in front of Gu Qingqing, and said.

"What are you talking about?" Gu Qingqing was speechless, "You step aside, I’ll take care of this Red Scorpion King." Without thinking, she stepped in front of Su Xi and said.

Su Xi was dumbfounded for a moment and quickly tried to run around Gu Qingqing, to stand in front. However, her height wasn’t as tall as Gu Qingqing’s, and her arms and legs weren’t as long; she couldn’t get past Gu Qingqing who blocked her quite thoroughly.

She looked up at Gu Qingqing’s back and felt deeply touched, thinking Gu Qingqing truly had a kind heart behind her beautiful appearance.

Gu Qingqing and she had just met, were neither relatives nor friends, yet in the face of danger, Gu Qingqing was willing to stand in front and protect her. How could that not move her? Gu Qingqing wasn’t aware Su Xi was thinking so much; she simply felt her own cultivation was higher than Su Xi’s, so it was more suitable for her to handle the Red Scorpion King. She hadn’t thought beyond that.

The Mixed Immortal Silk flew out from her wrist and headed towards the Red Scorpion King.

At this moment, the Red Scorpion King’s tail was raised high and then fiercely swung towards Gu Qingqing and Su Xi.

The Mixed Immortal Silk and the Red Scorpion King’s tail met mid-air, entangling its tail, preventing it from attacking Gu Qingqing and Su Xi.
