CFSMS -Chapter 65 Boss Lu, I’m Here to Save You

Qin Zhan could be considered someone well-traveled and experienced, but even he had never imagined that those ferocious and domineering demonic beasts could behave so gently and harmoniously while doing business with Lu Wu. The others were even less capable of imagining it.

So, in the eyes of everyone else, this scene meant only one thing—

Boss Lu was in trouble.

She had been captured by demonic beasts. Those beasts were surrounding her, and they must be performing some kind of evil ritual, waiting for the perfect moment to swallow Lu Wu whole.

Not far from the stall, at a higher vantage point, several cultivators looked at the scene with complicated and conflicted expressions.

They were cultivators who had bought ice jelly from Lu Wu yesterday. At the time, they had been exploring different parts of the secret realm, but for some reason, the temperature inside the realm kept rising.

For cultivators at Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages, the duration they could rely on protective spiritual energy was becoming shorter and shorter.

Unable to endure it, they began consuming the ice jelly.

The ice jelly worked wonders, easing the burning heat that felt like their bodies were being roasted alive.

However, once its effect wore off, the returning heat became even more unbearable.

They had no choice but to return to the stone monument area to buy more ice jelly from Boss Lu.

Of course, there was another option: like those Qi Refinement cultivators, they could retreat to the outermost perimeter of the secret realm, where the temperature was still bearable.

But faced with the temptation of a newly discovered secret realm, very few were willing to give up so easily.

Fortune comes with risk—so Lu Wu became their only solution.

The cultivators tacitly returned once again, only to arrive and see Lu Wu surrounded by demonic beasts.

Even with someone like Qin Zhan—a genius among geniuses—acting as her bodyguard, they did not believe Lu Wu could survive such a large-scale beast encirclement.

Certain death.

That was the verdict they had given her fate.

If there was any chance of survival, it would require external help to break the situation.

But the secret realm was sealed. No one outside could enter. The only ones who could help… were them.

“I can’t stand this. I have to help Boss Lu.”

One cultivator stared at the beast encirclement and, after a long hesitation, finally made his decision.

He was an old customer of Lu Wu. He had known her since she sold buns in Xiahe Town.

Boss Lu was a good person.

He loved her food.

At the thought that Boss Lu might die here, he would never again satisfy his cravings.

Just for that appetite of his, he had to see if he could do something.

“I can’t do it. There are so many beasts—going there would just be suicide.”

Some cultivators remained unmoving where they stood.

Although they felt some gratitude toward Lu Wu, they had still paid for the ice jelly. Business was business—no entanglement, no debt owed.

They sympathized, but there was no need to risk their lives for someone they had only just met.

In cultivation, the most important thing was self-preservation.

If you lost your own life, what future would you even have?

Many shared this mindset, unwilling to get involved.

After all, those beasts looked like they could tear them apart with ease.

Some even started to retreat.

Staying longer would only mean witnessing Lu Wu’s tragic death.

But there were also those with different opinions.

“That’s easy to say, but don’t forget—we are inside a secret realm. You’ve all seen the messages on One-Tongue Pass. The entrance cannot be opened from the outside. We must wait until seven days pass.”

“Now it’s only the third day.”

“The environment here has already forced us to rely on external items just to survive.”

“And the only thing currently allowing us to continue exploring is Boss Lu’s ice jelly. If we just stand by and let her die, it means we’ll be forced back to the perimeter for the next several days.”

“Or worse… we’ll be completely roasted alive by this secret realm.”

His analysis was very rational.

He stood there in a plain green robe, his face handsome and composed like a gentleman.

Someone recognized him.

“It’s a disciple of the Divine Medicine Valley.”

“Jiang Yunhe.”

“In that case… what he’s saying makes sense.”

They could all feel the changes in the secret realm.

If just the third day was already this unbearable, who knew what the final days would bring?

It was possible the erupting flames would incinerate all outsiders completely.

No matter how they looked at it, Boss Lu was their only possible lifeline.

If they didn’t go, they would die.

But if they went… they might also die.

This left many hesitant.

After speaking, Jiang Yunhe did not continue persuading anyone. Instead, he walked toward the beasts alone.

The reason he had arrived late was because he had discovered a small hidden cave dwelling along the way and gained significant benefits.

Because of that, he had lost track of the Flame Sparrow and even misplaced his One-Tongue Pass communication tool.

He only followed the trail here after hearing about Boss Lu from other cultivators today.

He did not fully understand the situation with the beasts.

But he understood Qin Zhan.

That man was not someone who would easily accept fate. Even when facing an unbeatable enemy, he would carve out a path of survival.

Since Qin Zhan was still unmoving, it meant there was still room for change.

He spoke to rally morale, but his real intention was to give Qin Zhan and the others more leverage.

With Jiang Yunhe’s departure, many who had been swayed finally stopped hesitating.

If death was inevitable either way, they might as well fight toward the direction that still held a chance of survival.

“Damn it, I’m in. Worst case, I die—reborn as a hero in eighteen years!”

A burly man took the lead and followed.

With someone charging first, the others also stepped forward.

“Saving Boss Lu is saving ourselves!”

“Brothers, charge!”

“Let’s go!”

A thunderous wave of battle cries erupted, filled with killing intent.

They were truly ready to fight.

From afar, the surging fighting spirit made even the beasts turn their heads.

When they looked over, they saw a group of human cultivators holding all kinds of weapons, shouting as if they were about to slaughter something—but the beasts hadn’t even done anything wrong.

Even Qin Zhan was stunned.

What is going on?

“ROAR!”

The beasts were not easy to provoke.

Naturally violent by nature, they were enraged by the provocation and immediately released earth-shaking roars.

Some of the outer beasts also assumed combat stances.

They were not to be bullied.

This time, they would show these humans what was what.

The fighting intent of both sides intertwined, dyeing the already crimson sky into a deeper blood-red.

“Boss Lu, I’m here to save you!”

When Lu Wu heard this, she immediately understood they had misunderstood the situation, and could only laugh and cry at the same time.

Seeing that both sides were about to clash, she quickly called out to Huohuo.

Stop them. Stop them—don’t fight!

Don’t fight!!

“Chirp!”

Huohuo streaked across the sky like a blade, instantly appearing between both sides of the battlefield. She looked at them, opened her beak, and unleashed a burst of flame that formed a massive wall of fire.

The fire wall separated both sides and successfully halted the impending battle.

Taking advantage of the moment, Lu Wu hurried over to explain.

Don’t do it. We’re family.
