Chapter 258: How About Becoming My Master?

It seemed to be a place that was carefully cultivated. Its surroundings were planted with various fruit trees and the ground was a sea of flowers, and a man was floating at the very center of the sea of flowers. Dressed in snow-white clothes, he possessed an appearance with peerless charm, and the corners of his lips stretched into a smile, as though with a single glance of him, one would feel the warmth of spring. Presently however, his eyes were tightly shut, as if he had fallen into deep slumber.

Zhu Yao walked into the place a step at a time. With every single step, her heart would sink a little, and a thin sensation of pain would spread throughout her entire body. Her mouths opened a few times, before she was able to find back her own voice. Before she voiced out anything however, she let out a sigh. "Shao Bai…"

Strangely, gusts of wind suddenly blew. The soft winds blew through the entire realm, and petals fluttered throughout the entire sky. Under the falling petals, the man's figure, as though it was being dispersed by the wind, slowly disappeared without a trace.

How could she not have thought that the owner of this ruin would actually be Shao Bai? Back then when he crossed through the Heavenly World Crossing Door, he must had arrived in this world, and then he built a place like this.

The things in those rooms must had been prepared for her. Unfortunately, she came a little too late. The things still remained, but he was no longer here. The injuries he received when crossing through the Heavenly World Crossing Door back then must had been really severe. In the beginning, she sent him inside in order to save his life, however, she never expected that things did not go as she wished.

"My girl Yu Yao…" Ying Luo glanced at her a little carefully, and hesitantly said. "You… know that Ancient God from earlier?"

Zhu Yao took in a deep breath before she was finally able to suppress the hurtful feelings in the depths of her heart. She then nodded heavily and said. "Mn, that was my elder brother."

"Ah?" The Ancient God is your elder brother? There must be something wrong with my listening method.

"Enough, let's leave." Zhu Yao waved her hands. Shao Bai was now Yue Ying. He was gone for a long time now.

They directly passed through the flower patches in front of their eyes. According to Shao Bai's habits, "the teleportation formation should be over there somewhere."

As expected, not long after, they found a teleportation formation next to a large rock.

Ying Luo was completely dumbstruck, as she sized Zhu Yao up. "Yu Yao, I kind of believe you're a God now. In the ruin of an Ancient Highgod, putting aside how we did not encounter a single danger, you even know where the teleportation formations are."

"He's not an Ancient God." Zhu Yao corrected.

"What?"

"The owner of this ruin is a phoenix of the God Race."

Zhu Yao took the first step forward in entering the formation, and said as she turned around. "We already have four mystic artifacts now. Once all five have been gathered and the Devil is dealt with, there's no longer a need for you to go around hiding with me."

She giggled and followed after her. "Hope so."

I really hope tomorrow will really go as perfect as we wish.

She had once heard that one must always have dreams, because if things couldn't come true in real life, then one would just have to dream about it!

Zhu Yao really did not expect that once someone started to become unlucky, that person's teeth could even fall off just by drinking water.

That teleportation formation was really great, and furthermore, the range of the formation was fast, far, and precise. It directly transferred them… into the encirclement of the various sects and clans.

Dozens of Nascent Soul practitioners and countless Azoth Core practitioners surrounded them in several layers.

Leading them, was naturally the Ding Chunqiu who had gone on about paying back the gratitude he received.

That's why, everyone with that name definitely could not be a good person.

"They came out from the ruin. As expected, only the Devils can…"

"Clan Master Ding was right. Their hearts and wills have been bewitched by the Devil."

"Could the Devil have resurrected as well?"

"Ying Luo can't possibly be a spy for the Devil ever since the beginning, right?"

"We can't allow the Devil to bring chaos to the world."

"They have already turned into Devils!"

The crowd was in a panic, but still, every single one of them drew their weapons, looking as though they were planning to risk their lives in a gamble.

"We are not Devils!" Ying Luo loudly said. "And neither is the Devil's seal broken. The reason why we're gathering the five mystic artifacts is to eliminate the Devil once and for all."

"Since the Devil's seal is not broken, isn't finding the five mystic artifacts again superfluous?" Ding Chunqiu took a step forward, looked at the two of them, before speaking with a sullen voice. "Hall Mistress Ying Luo. You claim that you're not a Devil, then I dare ask how did you come back to life? If the soul of a common person were to split into five, even if the pieces are able to gather once again, resurrection is still impossible. In this world, other than Devils, just who else possess such power to resurrect from the dead?"

Ying Luo frowned, as she looked at Ding Chunqiu a little suspiciously. "Clan Master Ding, whether I'm a Devil or not, as the person who possesses that bell, you should be even more aware of the truth than I am." That God's Artifact was in a life-bound contract with her. If she had turned into a Devil, the bell, as a God's Artifact, couldn't possibly be activated.

Ding Chunqiu's expression changed, but it immediately recovered right after. Carrying a hint of anger, he said. "A bunch of nonsense. How would I be aware of your affairs?"

"Clan Master Ding, haven't you always been saying that Hall Mistress Ying Luo is your benefactor?" Zhu Yao said with a cold smile. "Is this how you repay her?"

With the same righteous look, he said. "It's exactly because she's my benefactor, I'm unwilling to see her walk in the Devil's path."

"Devil's path?" Zhu Yao continued. "As the descendant of a God Race, she resurrected in the sacred pond, and it's also exactly because the sacred pond is engraved with ancient formations, which converted her soul into a living soul, allowing her to reawaken. Could it be that Clan Master Ding thinks that what the Forgotten God Palace had been passing down for millions of years, was the Devil's path?"

When her voice fell, some of the crowd began to look at each other.

A hint of fluster flashed past Ding Chunqiu's face. Sending a crusade against Ying Luo was something he brought up, if the crowd was to be convinced now, then Point Formation Clan's reputation would definitely plummet. Right now, there was no turning back. No matter what, these two had to die here and now.

"Even if you two aren't Devils, You two must have ill intentions for breaking into Point Formation Clan and gathering the five mystic artifacts. No matter what, for the countless lives under the heavens, we cannot forgive the two of you."

Ying Luo instantly turned furious. "Hmph, what countless lives under the heavens? In the end, you people simply can't get used to seeing me alive."

"The resurrection Hall Mistress Ying Luo will naturally bring joy to our hearts." The killing intent in Ding Chunqiu's eyes flashed. "But that if it's only the true Hall Mistress, the Hall Mistress whom everyone admires for sacrificing herself to save the world. Unfortunately, she can never return again. While you're but a demoness who had been bewitched by the Devil."

Zhu Yao coldly laughed. From the intentions behind his words, he would only recognize the dead, but not the living.

"My ass!" Ying Luo was trembling with anger. "If we're talking about becoming Devils, Ding Chunqiu, you're the true Devil here."

"Everyone, there's no need to speak anymore with them." Ding Chunqiu turned around to face the various sects, and said. "For the countless lives under the heavens, we must not let these two leave here today. Otherwise, once the Devil breaks out from the seal, then things will truly be irreparable."

After saying that, he had already grasped onto his sword and charged over.

With someone taking the lead, the rest naturally summoned their own spiritual swords and attacked the two of them.

Ying Luo carried Zhu Yao and hurriedly retreated a few steps back, while Zhu Yao placed down a defensive barrier. However, one of them was seriously injured with a shattered Dantian and unstable spiritual energy, while the other was half-crippled with half of her spiritual energy expended. As a sea of people came attacking, they could do nothing more than simply dodge and evade.

"What do we do?" Ying Luo blocked the attack of a Nascent Soul practitioner, and transmitted her voice.

Zhu Yao gnashed her teeth. "There's no other way now. Ying Luo, do you have those four mystic artifacts?"

"Yes!"

"First release their seals, then escape as far as possible."

Ying Luo was stunned for a moment, and her eyes fiercely widened. "You're saying…"

"That's right, with Ding Chunqiu's personality, he definitely would not believe anyone else. The final mystic artifact is definitely somewhere on his body. "Zhu Yao said with a sunken voice. "I will restrict him in a moment. You take the opportunity to release the seals."

She sank into silence for a moment, before nodding her head.

A Nascent Soul practitioner materialized countless of spiritual swords, and attacked the two of them. Zhu Yao pushed Ying Luo away, took a deep breath, and released her pressure as Demigod in a flash. In an instant, all the practitioners stopped their movements. Some had even fallen off the sky, puking out large amount of blood as they laid on the ground, unable to move.

"Demi… Demigod practitioner." The crowd revealed shocked expressions one after another.

However, Zhu Yao was barely able to hold on. Even if it was just releasing her pressure, the pain brought by the chaos within her body was already making it hard for her to breathe. Her meridians felt as though they were being torn apart inch by inch, but she had no choice but to grit her teeth and hold on, as she said with a sunken voice. "Girl, now!"

Ying Luo had already begun to cast an art. Golden sealing formations rose from her fingertips, and just as she was about to release them.

Behind her, a black figure suddenly appeared, and he slashed his sword straight down. "I really have to thank you for the God's Artifact you gave me."

The hell, that trash!

"Ying Luo!" Zhu Yao exclaimed out. Pushing aside all thoughts, she immediately circulated the spiritual energy in her entire body and summoned her sword intent. With her fastest speed, she attacked in the direction where the girl was.

By a hair's breadth, she directly smashed away the trash who snuck up on Ying Luo, and he fell onto the ground puking out a mouthful of blood. From his body, a copper bell rang as it rolled out, shattering in the next moment. Evidently, he had used that copper bell earlier to evade her pressure.

Puaah…

Zhu Yao could no longer hold on, as blood flowed out profusely from the corner of her lips. The pressure of a Demigod disappeared at this moment as well. With both her spiritual and physical powers overused, her cultivation began to regress extremely quickly.

"Yu Yao!" Ying Luo's expression paled.

A hint of loss flashed past her eyes. She looked at Zhu Yao who was at her dying breath, then turned to look at Ding Chunqiu who was on the ground, along with the crowd from various sects who had already begun to crawl up, with faces that looked as if they wanted to rip their corpses into thousand pieces.

She twisted her fingers, increasing the speed of spiritual energy circulation. The seal was immediately released, and the four mystic artifacts in her storage pouch flew out at the same time. The mystic artifact next to Ding Chunqiu flew out as well, and the five mystic artifacts soared towards the sky. They circled above the sky twice, before crackling noises began to sound out.

The five mystic artifacts shattered at the same time.

Devilish aura blasted through the skies, spiraling in mid-air. The sky instantly darkened, and sinister winds began to blow, giving people bone-piercing chills. The trees in the surroundings instantly began to wilt as well, and terrifying ear-piercing cries filled the entire world.

"Devil. The Devil has resurrected."

"Dear heavens, this world is doomed."

"What do we do? What do we do? We're all going to die, we're all going to die…"

The crowd was instantly thrown into a state of panic, and none still remembered to capture the two of them. There were even a few of them who had already flown far away to escape.

Zhu Yao took in a deep breath, and forced herself to stay conscious.

She was already on the last step. Everything would be fine as long as she used the Devil Smiting Inscription. No matter what, she could not fail here.

"Girl, leave this place, don't turn back."

Ying Luo was stunned, as she turned to look at Zhu Yao.

"Why are you still standing around? Hurry and go!"

"Where to?" She suddenly asked.

"Wherever is fine, live on properly. Leave the Devil to me."

She blanked for a moment, before asking her again. "Yu Yao, after eliminating the Devil, will I really be able to return to my former life?"

She smiled, as though she had already received her answer. "You see. Before the Devil had even appeared, already, they could not tolerate my existence. Even if we managed to deal with the Devil now, later on in the future, they might place the next, or even the next, next sin on my shoulders. Yu Yao, the true Devil isn't here, but in the hearts the people."

"You… can leave. Hide far, far away. As long as you're alive, there's still hope."

"Live?" She still stood there unmoving, her eyes began to turn misty, and she suddenly spoke. "So what if I'm alive? Yu Yao, I really can't understand, just what have I done wrong? I have never let this world down, not even the tiniest bit. But why must people of this world treat me this way?"

She suddenly took a step forward, and a golden imprint suddenly shone between her hands.

"Don't do anything silly!" Zhu Yao grew anxious, puking out several mouthfuls of blood. Her vision had already begun to blur.

However, she suddenly smiled. Her smile carried immense joy. She possessed peerless beauty in the first place, and with a single smile, it was as if the world had lost its colours. "Yu Yao, in this lifetime of mine, I never knew what hope is, because I never had it. But, you taught me that… Thank you. When even the entire world has betrayed me, you still stood unwaveringly by my side. But… I'm really tired, and I don't wish for this to continue any longer. I have never done anything that goes against my conscience, and I don't wish to continue living under a conspiracy either."

The speed of her hands were quick, and the light of the Devil Smiting Inscription faintly began to shine. Zhu Yao's heart clenched. The girl was going to risk her life. Zhu Yao wanted to cast an art to stop her from activating it, but just as she was about to stand up, something rang in her ears.

"Ting!"

In an instant, she realized she could no longer move. Her entire body felt as if it had been petrified, as though it did not belong to her.

The hell! Girl, stop now!

She wanted to shout out loud, yet, it felt as if she had lost the rights to control her body, and was unable to open her mouth.

The hell. Realmspirit, what the hell are you doing?

Zhu Yao was burning with anxiety, yet, all she could do was watch the light in the girl's hands growing brighter and brighter. As she smiled, she spoke her final words, sounding both grateful and regretful.

"Yu Yao, thank you. If possible, I really wish I can call you my master."

In the next moment, an eye-piercing light scattered towards the surroundings. Like a shockwave, it spread throughout the entire world. The stagnant devilish energy immediately disappeared without a trace.

The scene before her eyes began to shake, becoming unreal like a canvas, as though her soul was being twisted within her. Her vision suddenly distorted.

The scene changed. She had returned back to sea of flowers within the scenario. That dishevelled, horrid-looking woman who was covered in resentment, once again appeared in front of her. Her body was filled with scars that looked as though she had been ripped apart.

Filled with desolateness and despair, she was still asking the same question, over and over again. "Why… Why…"

Zhu Yao simply felt her heart aching, the fear she had before had disappeared. She unconsciously took a step forward and pulled onto the woman's hand. Tears could not help but fall.

"Girl."

The girl who was still roaring out earlier, suddenly blanked. The resentment surrounding her body stopped spreading at this moment as well. As she slowly raised her head, within her cloudy eyes, clarity began to surface.

"Yu Yao?"

She nodded strongly.

The resentment surrounding her body suddenly began to disappear, in but a few moments, it had already disappeared from sight, and even the scars on her body had disappeared without a trace. She once again reverted back to that woman with peerless beauty. Revealing a smile, the sea of flowers in their surroundings instantly bloomed, and she softly mumbled. "Master…"

In the next moment, her figure grew faint, and finally, disappeared from sight. Even the sea of flowers was gone. The surroundings had turned into a familiar darkness.

Chapter 259: History Can't be Altered

Ting!

A QQ chat window popped out.

She simply heard celebratory noises, as the entire screen began to shoot out fireworks.

Realmspirit: Congratulations, young maiden. You have successfully eliminated 1x resentment. You have opened the door to a brand-new world, you know.

Zhu Yao's heart was feeling unbearably stifling, as the flames of fury which she had been suppressing with all her might began to sizzle and explode. "What was that just now? I clearly could have saved her, so why was I unable to move all of a sudden? Why was I unable to repair of Dantian? Don't think I'm unaware they're all your doings. I heard that notification bell."

Realmspirit: Uh… Young maiden. You must know that we were on a tight schedule this time, so having some defects in the product quality should be understandable. You can just treat it as a one-use avatar, so it's very natural for it to be unrestorable!

Zhu Yao glared at him. "Don't use such reasonings to confuse me. Tell me the truth."

Realmspirit: Young maiden, the past can't be altered.

"The past?" Zhu Yao was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Realmspirit: Young maiden, resentment truly exists. The reason why history is called history, is because it can't be altered. You must know that though you have returned to the past, the things that you can alter are limited. When there's a cause, there will also be an effect. You can alter the process, but not the result. Ying Luo is destined to die at that time, this is history. If everything changes, the butterfly effect produced will be immeasurable.

"Then what about back then?" Zhu Yao continued to ask. "During the time disruption back then, there weren't any problems, were there?" Back then when she reincarnated into a Black Tortoise, didn't she participate in a prologue as well?

Realmspirit: Then how are you so certain that everything you have experienced, aren't the results caused by a butterfly effect?

"…" Zhu Yao was stunned. She suddenly thought of Shao Bai, and Yue Ying.

Realmspirit: My friend, you weren't able to understand, because you first experienced the 'effects', before finding the 'causes'. It's exactly because you opened the Heavenly World Crossing Door in the beginning and saved the God Races, were you then able to encounter those incidents later on.

"From what you're saying, if we're using a timeline to explain, my first quest was actually that time with the God Races?"

Realmspirit: (Sprinkle flowers) Let me give you thirty-two thumbs-up.

She was feeling a little stifling in the depths of her heart. Though they were together for a long time, she had truly regarded that girl Ying Luo as a good girl friend. She had always believed that she would be able to save her, and she was there on the quest exactly because of this reason as well. However, she never expected that Realmspirit would tell her that Ying Luo's death was pre-determined, and could not be altered.

"Then why did you let me make this trip?" He first gave her hope, then denied her completely. This was really too cruel.

The screen was silent for a short while, before Realmspirit typed out the next line.

Realmspirit: Because I believed that you're able to eliminate resentment and save the Three Realms.

Realmspirit: Yao Yao, why don't you think in another perspective? Because of your appearance, Ying Luo was able to receive a bond of friendship, and you became the only spot of light in her tragic life. And it was exactly because of this spot of light, she did not have to despair after her death and resentment was no longer born. Resentment has always been birthed from resentment, hatred, unwillingness and other negative emotions of people while they were alive. Due to bearing high hopes, their disappointment ended up as despair. This is why resentment is undying and indestructible. This entire time, I have been looking for a method to destroy it, but to no avail. However, you found it.

Realmspirit: Being unwilling to be ordinary is human nature in the first place. Giving hope to despair, is the method to destroy resentment. Yao Yao, you were the one helped me find this answer. You must know that resentment is birthed from people, and it and a human soul are a single entity in the first place. Even if resentment is being suppressed by the River of Forgetfulness, being forcefully separated from the souls of people, in the end, resentment is still part of a soul. This is also why resentment is undying and indestructible. If the soul is undying, then resentment is indestructible. Souls with resentment suppressed are incomplete entities in the first place. Even after reincarnating, with such thin souls, naturally, their lucks would be frail. Most of them merely live their lives as cannon fodder.

Realmspirit: Speaking from another point of view, you have eliminated Ying Luo's resentment, which ended up restoring her soul entity. In her next life, she will no longer be mere cannon fodder.

"But, in the end, I was still unable to save her. So what if she has a next life? In her next life, or even the one after that, she will no longer be Ying Luo." She couldn't understand. Shouldn't good things happen to good people? Why did someone like this girl still end up becoming a bug-like existence? She had clearly done no wrong, while those people filled with vile intentions could still reign supreme, grasp the Dao and become deities.

"Young maiden…" A sunken male voice suddenly rang out, and it faintly carried a hint of fatigue. Realmspirit finally abandoned the chat window and spoke. "You must know that this is also the girl Ying Luo's own choice. In that situation, even if she survives, she might not have lived a better life than her next lifetime."

"But if a soul with suppressed resentment reincarnates, doesn't that person's luck become weak, and can only end up becoming cannon fodder?" Zhu Yao glared at the screen. "How can her next life be any better?"

"Initially, yes. But young maiden, you have already eliminated her resentment. This way, her soul has already been perfected."

"What do you mean?" I don't understand.

The screen window rang out, and suddenly, a video interface popped out.

On the screen, a gentle female practitioner was currently hugging onto a female infant, coaxing her softly. Naturally, that female infant was Ying Luo's reincarnation, and the woman who was hugging her looked a little familiar. For a moment, she was unable to recall where she had seen her before.

"My wife, it has been hard on you." Suddenly the door was pushed open, and a figure dressed in white hurriedly walked over. "Let me see our child." As he said that, he carried the female infant. He then turned around and raised his head, revealing a familiar middle-aged face.

"Zi Mo!" Zhu Yao widened her eyes as she took a step forward. And she was wondering why that woman looked so familiar. She was actually Zi Mo's wife. Then the female infant in his arms was…

"Little radish is Ying Luo!"

"Congratulations, you got it right!"

"How… How is that possible." Zhu Yao was a little confused.

"Young maiden, have you forgotten what Ying Luo told you before she died?"

Zhu Yao was startled. "She said… she wanted to call me…" The hell, she had really become her master.

"Zhu Yao, this is why I said history can't be altered. If Ying Luo didn't die, then she wouldn't have reincarnated into little radish, then you two naturally wouldn't have the bond of master and disciple."

Zhu Yao frowned, however, she was still unable to accept it completely. "In other words, little radish's soul was incomplete in the beginning?"

"Right. Initially, her luck was weak, and would have been taken over when she turns twenty. However, because you accepted her as your disciple, it was prevented."

After thinking about it, little radish's initial life was truly the life of a cannon fodder.

"So, you don't have to feel guilty for being unable to save Ying Luo. It was all her own decision. No matter how well you do, she will still make the same decision in the end. Even if you insist on saving her, the result might not have been better, and it might even cause Yu Luo to disappear."

Zhu Yao let out a deep sigh, as the frustration in the depths of her heart dispersed a little. Raising her head, she looked at the chat window which was no longer being updated, and smiled. "So you're finally willing to speak?"

"Aiya. Aren't I doing it all for you?" He cheaply replied. "I was afraid that the young maiden would think of doing some silly things. Haah. For your sake, I really have broken my own heart."

Zhu Yao's face darkened. Rolling her eyes, she said. "Stop acting cheap, aren't you at fault for everything here? In the end, I still don't even know how you look like?"

"Young maiden, you wish to see me?" His voice raised.

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. "Eh!? Can I!?"

"If you wanted to see me, just say so. I have long known that young maiden has been coveting my beautiful looks."

Coveting your sister!

"Alright then! Since you have already requested it so sincerely, coming out to see you for a moment isn't that much trouble."

"You're serious!?" Zhu Yao was stunned.

The QQ chat window which had not been updated in this short while suddenly flashed, disappearing in an instant. An orb-like figure suddenly appeared in mid-air, looking all round and smooth. Just as Zhu Yao was thinking that he was a fatty, that figure suddenly grew clearer, revealing a snow-white belly. Its back was as black as ink, and its four limbs were small to the point of being hardly visible. Its mouth was a pointy yellow, and circling around its neck was a red scarf. It was a gigantic… QQ Penguin1.

Zhu Yao: "…"

Why is it a penguin, hey!? Just how much do you love Tencent!?

"Young maiden, how is it?" That penguin winked at her, looking all complacent as it said. "Isn't my image very refreshing?"

"Your sister's refreshing!" Just which part of it was refreshing? "What are you doing transforming into something like that?"

"Aiya, I simply felt that I would feel more intimate like this." It scratched its penguin head with a shy look.

"…" Which part of it is intimate? It's more like seeing a ghost, alright?

"Don't you have the impulse to charge some q-coins2 into me?"

"Scram!"

"You don't like it?" It supported its head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, it pulled out a red bowtie out of nowhere, and stuck it on its head. "How about now? After turning into its female version, do you have any thoughts of charging q-coins now?" Even his voice had automatically turned into a female voice.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Veins popped out from her hands, as she tightly held onto her fists. After taking in several deep breaths, she gritted her teeth and waved her hand at it. "You, come here."

"Ah?" The penguin trudged towards her. "Young maiden, q-coins… Ah!"

Before it could even finish, Zhu Yao had already raised her fists, and bashed them towards its round and smooth body. Whichever part became more apparent, she would strike her fists there. Using strength from her entire body, she continuously connected one fist after the next.

"Aaaahhh… Young maiden, wait a minute, violence is wrong… Aiya!"

For a moment, a certain someone's screams repeatedly echoed in the entire space.

Only when Zhu Yao was tired to the point of being unable to raise her fists, did she finally stop. Realmspirit was completely swollen into a round, filled with black and white bruises everywhere.

"Young… maiden…" It tremblingly raised its small wings. What happened to the promised friendship? It felt that both its mind and body had suffered a serious blow.

Zhu Yao swung her head. "Mn, I feel refreshed now."

Realmspirit: "…" The penguin head tilted, and right after, it stopped breathing.

"Enough, stop acting death. Hurry and send me back." Zhu Yao kicked the penguin which was still acting like a corpse on the ground. If it was injured so easily, it wouldn't be Realmspirit.

As expected, in the next moment, it had already bounced up. The injuries on its body had all completely disappeared, and it said with the look of an underling. "Dear friend, are you satisfied with my method of death earlier? If you feel that your hatred has yet to dissipate, you can still try again. Based on our friendship, I can provide you with various methods of deaths that you can choose from. You can use a sword to slice me to death, use rocks to smash me to death, or even kick me to death. Quality is guaranteed, and a definite fair trade. If you pre-order now, you can even receive a large reincarnation package that is extremely worth the money."

"…" Just how much do you wish to die? "Scram!"

"Don't be so heartless, my dear friend! If you buy now, you get a cashback bonus for your good reviews, you know?"

"3…"

"Service that is absolute worth the price. It's an intelligent choice. You can walk pass it, but you must not miss it!"

"2…"

"Young maiden, why don't you try one out? If you pre-order now, it comes with a free vacation."

"1!"

May your journey be smooth-sailing!" It waved its small handkerchief.

A loading bar flashed before Zhu Yao's eyes, and it instantly disappeared in this dark world.

That gigantic penguin was standing unmoving in its original spot. In but a moment, it shook like a movie scene, and then disappeared.

Rows of red characters floated in the air, as though data was being changed, faint yet visible at the same time.

"A large emotional problem has once again occurred on the target. Will emergency measures be deployed?"

"Deployment has been suspended."

"Target continues to load."

"Activate, passive emergency mode."

"Main body restoration process, 80%."

"Dungeon restoration rate, 10%."

"Widespread effect reduction rate, 150%."

"Target confirmed."

"Setting target's priority level."

When Zhu Yao woke up again, she saw a peerless appearance carrying a fulfilling smile, and the warmth in his eyes looked as though it had gained substance itself.

"Shao Bai!" She was startled, but after a careful look, she changed her way of addressing him. "Yue Ying. Why are you here?"

"Sis Yao…" He pulled onto her hand. "You're finally awake. I was unable to find you when I woke up, and when I finally managed to find you, you just wouldn't wake up."

"Uh…" Zhu Yao was stunned for a moment. Only then did she recall she seemed to have planted Yue Ying at the courtyard, and then forgotten about it. Oh heavens, just how long has it been? He can't have grown bad again, right!? She hurriedly grabbed onto him and carefully inspected him. Great, great, it seemed he was still normal.

"Yue Ying, I'm sorry, I…" Just as she was about to explain, suddenly, an unknown black entity came charging into her embrace.

"Mistress…"

She simply felt her chest sink, and the pain had almost made her puke. She reflexively sent a slap towards it. The hell, they aren't huge in the first place already, is there a need to harm me like this? She rubbed them strongly. Fortunately, they were not flattened.

"Mistress…" The black ball that was slapped away crawled back again, its two front paws tightly grabbed onto the edge of her clothes, and it cried with tears and snot everywhere. "This beastie finally found you, uuuu… How can you abandon your cute beastie like this? This one is born your beastie, and will die as your beastie."

"Sesame!" Zhu Yao picked up the black ball. Why was it here too? "Why did you turn so small?"

Sesame was stunned for a moment. As though she had poked right at the heart of a depressing matter, it began to cry even louder than before. "This one had no choice but to turn small because of injuries."

"Injuries?" Why did she not see any?

"In order to look for mistress, we forcefully crossed the Abyss of Eternity, causing our cultivation to regress." It looked at her with a pitiful look. "Mistress, Sesame is so pitiful."

"Aren't you still a tenth rank demonic beast?" It thought she was blind? Just how had its cultivation regressed?

"This is all because of Lord Bai Yuan, which allowed me to recover."

"Then you're fine now?"

"Uh…"

Zhu Yao casually flung it down, and then snatched back the corner of her clothes from Sesame. She then turned to look at the person next to her. "Yue Ying, come closer."

She reached out her hand to cup Yue Ying's wrist. "How are you feeling? You're not injured, right?" The Abyss of Eternity was the border between the Netherworld and Spiritual Realm, and little wimp mentioned before that one had to be brought by Bai Yuan before he or she could cross over.

Chapter 260: Can I Get an Advance on My Rewards?

Yue Ying flipped his hand and pulled onto her hand instead. "Big sis, are you going to throw Yue Ying aside again?"

Zhu Yao's heart clenched. Sighing, she reached out her hand to stroke his head. "I'm sorry, I won't anymore!"

The corners of his lips raised, as he smiled with a satisfied look. "As long as big sis is here, then Yue Ying is fine."

"Mistress, I'm not fine…" Sesame crawled back and raised its two front paws, standing straight up. "This beastie's mind and soul have both been hurt, I request to be consoled, I request hugs."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Scram! Are you a child?" Only children will request for hugs, alright?

"You're awake?" The door suddenly creaked open, and a figure dressed in a snow-white robe instantly appeared before the bed.

Zhu Yao's heart warmed, and sentimental feelings endlessly poured out. "Master… This disciple's mind and soul have both been hurt, I request hugs!"

Sesame: …

Yue Ying: …

Yu Yan's hands which were just about to reach out to check her pulse suddenly jerked to a halt. With an ice-cold expression, he gave her a stern glare, as if surging flames of fury were about to explode. With emphasis on every word, he said. "Why did you guide resentment into your body without my discretion?"

"Uh…" There was something wrong with how things were developing into a punishment scene! What happened to the promised reunion with tears and hugs, followed by the finale on the bed?

For the first time in his entire life, Yu Yan felt that his heart was burning with so much fury he wanted to bash someone, as he turned to look at the two hindrances.

Sesame: "Mistress, I suddenly recall that Lord Bai Yuan is looking for me. I will take my leave first."

Yue Ying: "Big sis Yao, I will look for you later."

The two of them disappeared into the distance.

Hell, they're very reliable alright!

"Master…" Zhu Yao's voice weakened, and it faintly carried the sound of tears, as she decided to try save herself. Raising and moving both of her hands, she took up Sesame's earlier posture. She pitifully gazed at him… gazed at him… at him… him!

A certain someone's anger gradually dispersed under her focused gaze. The face that looked as though it was frozen for a thousand years in ice earlier, began to crack inch by inch, and he finally let out a sigh. He reached out to pull the hand she stretched out, and followed up by pulling her into his embrace. Only then were those chaotic emotions appeased.

Zhu Yao hugged onto him tightly, to the point where her nose was filled with the chilling scent emitted from his body. She strongly rubbed against his chest, and the depths in her heart slowly began to warm. "Master, I miss you."

He was dumbfounded for a moment. A while later, he then stroked her hair and lightly responded. "Mn."

"…" That's it? An 'mn'? Zhu Yao raised her head, and stared at his emotionless face with a dissatisfied look. Circling her hands around his neck, she approached and landed a kiss on his lips.

Yu Yan was startled for a moment. He did not resist, nor did he respond.

She decided that she might as well kiss till she had enough, getting back all the time they had been separated for through kisses.

That face which looked like an ice mountain which had stood for ten thousand years, then revealed a slightly different colour. He held onto her pressing body, and said with a stern tone. "Yu Yao!"

"Master."

He sternly said. "You have just woken up."

"Ah?"

He said with a serious look. "Your body has just recovered."

"…" So?

He continued. "You even fainted last time."

"What?" What did he mean by she fainted?

"Now is not the appropriate time for practitioner-pair cultivation."

"…" He couldn't be thinking…

"Don't do such dangerous things again."

"…" So, savouring on a piece of meat was a dangerous thing to do? No wait, she just wanted to kiss him, and had never thought of rolling under the blankets! Master, may I ask just how huge is the hole in your brain now? Hurry and come back, return me my kind and pure master!

According to a reliable source, Zhu Yao had been unconscious for a month before waking up. Furthermore, the resentment she guided out from little wimp's body, had suddenly disappeared on its own. Yue Ying and Sesame arrived in Spiritual Realm while she was still unconscious. Because Sesame was in a contract with her, it being able to find her location was not strange at all. However, Yue Ying actually had a way to directly cross from the Mortal Realm to Spiritual Realm, which gave her a fright. However, after recalling that he was able to head to the Divine Realm back then, him being able to travel to Spiritual Realm was not the least bit unexpected.

"Big sis Zhu Yao, you're really too reckless." Wang Xuzhi said with a fearful look. "How can you guide resentment into your own body?"

"It's all in order to gain a deeper understanding of resentment. Look, isn't it all dealt with now?" She patted on his head.

"Though that's the case." He frowned. "Accidents may still occur. You don't even know just how my master was this close to being torn apart by Grand Ancestral Master when he woke up."

"Uh…" Actually, she knew that her accomplice Zi Mo was slammed into a wall by a certain someone. It must had taken a long time before he was pulled out, right? Whenever the old man looked at her now, he would look as though he was seeing a ghost, and flee even faster than a rabbit.

What a friend he was. I ended up saving your daughter's past life, you know?

"Big sis Zhu Yao, do you have any plans for now on?" Wang Xuzhi asked.

"I don't know." She shook her head. The method to eliminate resentment had been found by her. Realmspirit did not send her to the next quest location, but had instead sent her back here. He couldn't be tasking her to deal with the remaining resentment as well, right? Recalling the river of resentment within River of Forgetfulness, even if she spent several lifetimes, she still wouldn't be able to eliminate them all, right? "It's rare that I have free time. I will think about it after I return to Divine Realm and have a stroll with master."

"…" The corner of Wang Xuzhi's lips twitched. She sounded as though the Divine Realm was her own backyard.

"Master can't stay in the Lower Realm for too long. It's best that he returns back up there as soon as possible." Her master's act of forcefully descending upon the Lower Realm went against the Heavenly Dao in the first place, which was the cause of him randomly turning into a child and falling unconscious back then. Though he now carried the pearl given by the River of Forgetfulness, she was still unable to feel at ease. Who knew if there was an expiry date on that thing? What if it suddenly lost its effects?

"Grand Ancestral Master possesses a divine physique in the first place, so it should be easy for him to head up to the Higher Realm." Wang Xuzhi suggested. "If he informs Highlord Bai Yuan, and have him open the World Crossing Door, the lightning tribulation will descend on its own."

Zhu Yao chuckled. "If only master is willing to head up to the Higher Realm." If he had felt at ease leaving her in the Lower Realm, he wouldn't have come running down right after heading up. This time, no matter what she were to say, he would still bring her up there with him.

Letting out a long sigh, she patted on little wimp's shoulders, and said with a heavy tone. "Haah, little wimp. This is the frustration of a having a better half. A single man like you will never understand."

"…" The corner of Wang Xuzhi's lips twitched. Why did he feel as if he had been mocked? Also, what kind of mystic artifact was this "better half"? Was it really incredible?

"The only thing I can do now, is to hasten my cultivation, work hard together, so that us husband and wife can return to our home." Zhu Yao sighed once again. "I'm going to stop here, little wimp, it's time for me to cultivate. Don't miss me, I will always live on in all of your hearts."

"…" Just how much do you hate cultivation!?

"Oh, right. Help me inform that child Yue Ying. Forget about Sesame, don't interrupt him and Bai Yuan while they're enjoying their gay time."

"Uh… alright." Wang Xuzhi nodded. Suddenly, as if he had recalled something, he hurriedly called out to her. "Big sis Zhu Yao!"

"What?"

"Yue Ying, he…" He hesitated for a moment, before continuing. "Is he really big sis Zhu Yao's little brother? I kind of feel he's a little… I kind of feel… some sort of special connection with him, as if…"

"What!?" Zhu Yao was stunned, as she swooshed back like the wind and grabbed onto little wimp's shoulders. She heavily shook him a few times. "Are you serious? Little wimp, you can't possibly have your eyes on my family's Yue Ying, right? You definitely can't! He's still a child!"

"…" The corner of Wang Xuzhi's lips began to twitch. Why had he never felt that Zhu Yao was this abnormal in the past? "Big sis Zhu Yao, I'm male too!"

"It's exactly because you're male that makes it terrifying, and makes it dangerous." Zhu Yao hysterically shook a few more times. "Though you can't clearly discern feelings between an elder sister and a little brother, at the very least, you should be able to discern feelings between a male and a female. I definitely won't agree to you two going gay for each other."

What does 'gay' mean? "I don't like him!"

"Are you certain?"

"Cer. Tain!"

"Oh. I feel much better now." Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief.

Wang Xuzhi simply felt his liver aching. "What I mean is… Haah, forget it. Big sis Zhu Yao, go into closed-door training then."

"Oh." Zhu Yao suspiciously swept a glance towards him, before leaving with a worried look.

As a proper good big sister, she did not forget to turn back and repeat her instructions.

"Little wimp, there are countless girls under the heavens, do not give up on rehabilitation."

"Gay relationships don't conform to the basic laws of human reproduction."

"Look forward, and you will realize that the OTP formed by a boy and a girl is the most beautiful pair."

"Little wimp, if you were to bend to that side, I won't have the guts to face your father and mother."

"Big. Sis. Zhu. Yao!" He was starting to freak out…

"I'm going now."

Zhu Yao was really deeply worried. Wang Xuzhi's words had frightened her to the point her heart was leaping out of chest. The two little brothers whom she had brought up with her own hands, actually wanted to love each other. There must be a problem with her education methods. She felt that there was a need to help these two boys analyse their feelings deeply, and the best outcome would be to eliminate the symptoms while they were still at an early stage.

She had even prepared a huge pile of resources, with plans of drilling into them analysis and tests of various depths and angles. Importance of OTPs between a male and a female, the views of society towards non-heterosexuals, the history of human reproduction, hundred reasons why little brothers should not be gay for each other and more. Furthermore, she had even planned for scenarios where they were determined not to listen to her. She could still start by breaking through the most obedient Yue Ying, and build his resolve of not being easily swayed by little wimp.

Mn, this was a masterpiece of a plan. Simply thinking about it made her a little excited.

Unfortunately, before her plan could even be initiated, it died while it was still in her belly.

A certain outstanding representative who had been left to his own devices, Sovereign Yu Yan, had suddenly gained enlightenment. There was an inseparable relationship between his good-natured education methods and his disciple's acts of flowery death courting.

Mn, he was too kind!

Strictness cultivates one's body, while looseness raises worries. He had to become stricter!

Thus, Zhu Yao was then watched over strictly, with no openings to escape from. Even while meditating in a trance state during closed-door training, a certain master would personally keep watch of her at the side. The moment she were to lose concentration, a certain someone would unhappily emit out a cold aura, until the moment she recognized her own mistakes.

Wuuu…

Master is so terrifying.

Regarding this, a certain master had also made a long-term plan. His goal was: Forming Azoth Core in five years, nourishing the Nascent Soul within twenty years, and becoming a Demigod in a hundred years. A few years after that, he would be rewarded with a disciple who would have ascended into a deity. This way, he could prevent her from making flowery deaths wherever and whenever.

After thinking it through, he felt that it was actually rather simple.

"I don't want to, master!" Zhu Yao hugged onto a certain someone's waist, bawling out loud. "This concubine can't do it!"

"No need to worry." Yu Yan habitually reached out his hand to mess up his own disciple's hair, and said with a sunken voice. "No matter what, your master will always accompany you."

"…" She was becoming even more worried, alright? "Master, why don't you ascend first?"

Yu Yan's expression sank. He cold glared at her, and the words he spoke felt as if they were about to freeze into ice. "Last time, it's exactly because I ascended first." In the end, in a blink of an eye, you went to court death.

"Uh…" I'm wrong! _

Having zero faith in his disciple or whatever, was too depressing.

Zhu Yao had no choice but to close her eyes, meditate and circulate her spiritual energy. In the depths of her heart, she could not help but wish to drag Realmspirit out and beat him into a pulp again. He could already restore her avatar, so why could he not raise her cultivation a little?

Ting!

Suddenly, a familiar notification bell rang in her mind. Zhu Yao was shocked for a moment, and when she opened her eyes, a familiar chat window appeared in front of her. On it, a large chunk of words that looked like an advertisement appeared before her eyes.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, as she weakly glanced at a certain master who was staring focusedly at her. "Master…"

"Mn?"

"I might not need a hundred years. I can become a Demigod now."

Written on the chat window was –

"Dear friend, are you still frustrated about your mediocre lifestyle? Are you still feeling ashamed for having such poor cultivation?《Throw Link》Newcomer Gift Bag shall eliminate all your worries, allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of raising your levels in a second!

Set D: Random to Random, comes with special effects… I haven't thought of it yet, random then.

Ps: Once confirmed, goods will be bound for life, and cannot be refunded, yo.

Zhu Yao: "…"

《Throw Link》? When said it out loud, it's evidently 'trolling', right!?

Realmspirit, tell me honestly, how much does each half a kilogram of your principles cost?

She let out a long sigh. Though the chat window was a little cheap, she had to admit that this had come right on time. With resentment dealt with, most probably, Realmspirit wanted her to kill mobs in a different map as well. After hesitating for a moment, she still tapped on 'A'.

In the next moment, Yu Yan witnessed the cultivation of his stupid disciple, who clearly had heaven-bending luck but would always end up courting death, rapidly change in a strange fashion. First, her cultivation fell from Foundation to Essence, then, from Essence to Foundation. Following after that, it rapidly sped up to Azoth Core, Nascent Soul, Demigod, Earth Deity, and finally, it was suppressed back to the cultivation of a Demigod Paragon.

Even with her cultivation raising in such a strange manner, there was not the slightest of spiritual energy fluctuations in the surroundings, let alone tribulation lightning bolts falling.

A certain master expressed that regarding matters like this, he had already gotten used to them after seeing them so many times.

"Master, your concubine has done it!" Zhu Yao pulled onto her master's hands, and sincerely said.

Yu Yan flipped his hand and cupped onto his stupid disciple's wrist. After checking her pulse for a while, he then reached out to tap on her forehead to inspect her body with his divine sense. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with her, he then heaved a sigh of relief. "We shall return to the Higher Realm tomorrow."

"Alright, my liege!"

"Inform Bai Yuan."

"No problem, my liege!"

"And inform the rest as well."

"I shall heed your orders, my liege!"

"My liege!"

"Mn."

"Are there any rewards for completing the mission early?" I request rewards, I request praises, I request a small red flower.

Yu Yan sank into silence for a while. He then suddenly lowered his head, and sealed his disciple's lips which were chattering endlessly.

A long while later…

"My liege."

"Mn?"

"Can I get an advance on my rewards as encouragement?" Love spans the mountains and seas, can I get another one please?

Chapter 261: The Problem Child Who Suddenly Freaked Out

The next day.

When Zhu Yao was waving to Wang Xuzhi who was flying over, he lost his footing for a moment, and had almost fallen off the sword.

"Big sis Zhu Yao… You, your cultivation!?" His eyes must be blurry. Clearly, she was still at the Foundation stage a few days ago, how did she suddenly become a Demigod Paragon just like that?

"Haah, little wimp, life is just that unpredictable!" She patted on his shoulders.

Wang Xuzhi had a complicated look. A moment later, he sighed. "Then big sis Zhu Yao, when are you planning to ascend to the Higher Realm?"

"Tomorrow. I'm afraid that unforeseen incidents may occur, so I'm telling you now." Zhu Yao looked around. "Oh right, do you know where Bai Yuan is?" It had been quite some time since she last saw that beastie. In the past, it would even run to her window to give her some flowers. Yet, in these last few days, it had completely stopped its antics.

"I don't know. Highlord Bai Yuan's whereabouts have always been indeterminable." Wang Xuzhi sank into silence for a moment. "But, recently, he had been together with Sesame."

When had Sesame ever been so friendly with other beasties?

Just as she was about to look for Sesame, Yue Ying appeared and walked over to her. "Big sis Yao, you came out of your closed-door training."

"Yue Ying, you're just right on time." Zhu Yao waved him over, and told him her plans to ascend the next day.

Yue Ying's face instantly darkened, as he stared straight in her eyes. He tightly clenched his fists, as though he was suppressing something. After a long while, he said. "Big sis Yao, are you going to throw Yue Ying aside again?"

Zhu Yao was startled. She reached out her hand to stroke his head. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just going to ascend. Can't you go to Divine Realm too?"

"Divine Realm…" He suddenly raised his head and grinned, however, there were no hints of joy under his eyes. "Big sis Yao, if I were to say, I can't go to Divine Realm?"

"Ah?" What did he mean? Zhu Yao could not comprehend for a moment.

Wang Xuzhi however frowned. He suddenly took a step forward and changed the topic. "Yue Ying, do you know where's Sesame?"

Yue Ying did not reply, and simply looked at Zhu Yao. Like a stubborn little child, he pulled onto the corner of her robe, wanting an answer from her no matter what.

"Yue Ying?" Zhu Yao faintly sensed that something was amiss with him, but she couldn't quite put it into words. Sighing, she explained. "Master can't stay in the Lower Realm for too long. He had already fainted before back then, which is why I want to rush back to the Higher Realm. Be obedient, I will wait for you in the Higher Realm."

His brows furrowed, as he began to throw a tantrum like a child. "Big sis Yao promised not to throw me aside again. If he wants to return, then he can return by himself."

"Yue Ying, stop playing around!" Zhu Yao was a little furious. Pulling his hands away, he turned to look at little wimp. "Let us first look for Sesame!"

"Mn!" Wang Xuzhi nodded as he stood on his sword and rose into the air with her. Turning around, he glanced at Yue Ying who was still standing on the same spot, and he realized that Yue Ying was staring straight at him. His heart suddenly felt chilly for a moment, and even his sword flight was becoming a little unstable.

"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao smoothly grabbed onto him. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing…" He smiled, and then hesitantly spoke. "Big sis Zhu Yao, before you arrived in Spiritual Realm, have I met Yue Ying somewhere before?"

"Why are you asking something like that?" It doesn't make sense for him to have such yearning look on his face. Suddenly, she thought of something. "Don't tell me you really have… for my family's Yue Ying…"

"Big sis Zhu Yao!" He suddenly exploded.

"I said nothing."

Wang Xuzhi sighed. After pondering for a few moments, he said. "I just feel an extremely familiar connection with him, as if… as if we have met in our past lifetimes."

"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao glanced at him, and said. "Thing like everything is predestined or whatever, are all lies. Don't believe the things written on books. Finding a girl is the true path of a king."

Zhu Yao searched for an entire day, yet she was still unable to locate the silhouettes of those two beasties. Gnashing her teeth, Zhu Yao directly used the contract to forcefully summon Sesame over to her. Initially, she had planned on asking it for Bai Yuan's whereabouts, in the end, it became a buy-one-get-one-free deal, as the power of the contract had directly pulled both the two beasties over.

Baam, the two of them smashed onto the ground right before her, with Bai Yuan on top, and Sesame below. The two beasts, with one facing upwards, and one facing downwards, fell down while sandwiched together.

Their postures…

Are a little shady!

No, wait!

Bai Yuan is a male beast. As two male beasts, what kind of shameful things are you two doing!?

"Mistress…" The moment Sesame saw her, it crawled up after a making a groan, and then hid behind her at lightning speed. With a distressed look, it said. "Lord Bai Yuan is too much, no matter what, he wanted to leave that thing inside my body. This beastie was just about to become violent!"

What did she just hear? Just what kind of things that cannot be described have you guys done!?

"What!?" She instantly grabbed onto its tail, and shouted. "Then is your chrysanthemum still there?"

Bai Yuan: …

Wang Xuzhi: …

Sesame: Did mistress say something immoral just now? Why did it feel its chrysanthemum tightening?

Bai Yuan shyly glanced at Zhu Yao, and then walked towards her in small steps. The beast which was initially all white earlier, began to turn pink.

These shy little eyes, this shady reaction, something must have happened! Zhu Yao felt as if her entire being had been blown into a mess by the wind. She instantly hugged onto Sesame's beast head, and said with a heart filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, your mistress did not protect your chrysanthemum well."

Bai Yuan: …

Wang Xuzhi: …

Sesame: …

"Ouu~~" Bai Yuan suddenly bared its teeth, roaring at Sesame. Seeing that Sesame had escaped from Zhu Yao's embrace out of fear, it then made an "ahmu" sound, and spat a pearl out of its mouth.

That pearl was at least the size of a fist. It was smooth and round, and had a pure-white colour. Furthermore, it was even emitting out a faint silvery light. As though it was glowing, a warm and refreshing aura faintly seeped out of it. It would have looked extremely beautiful, If not for its saliva that was still covering all around the pearl.

"Inner core!" LIttle wimp stared at Bai Yuan with a stunned look. "Highlord, you…"

"Meow…" It used its head to push the pearl and rolled it towards her, with a face that looked as if it was hoping she could pick the pearl up.

"For me?"

Bai Yuan strongly nodded.

"You're crazy!" Zhu Yao glared at it. "Is an inner core something you can simply give to others?" The inner core was the crystallization of its cultivation, it would die if it randomly spat it out, right?

"Uuuuuuu…" Sesame took the opportunity to cry and complain. "Earlier, Lord Bai Yuan wanted me to bring his inner core to the Higher Realm with you no matter what. I wasn't willing to, and he even bit me because of it…"

Uh… So you two weren't doing something kinky earlier?

"Hurry and keep it!" Zhu Yao reached out to stroke its beast head. It seemed like it had long known she was about to ascend. "I don't have any use for your inner core!"

"Ou~~ Oouuu~~" It swung its head about.

Sesame took the role of a real-time translator. "Lord says, if you carry his inner core, he will then be able to look for you and play games with you at any time."

"…" Who wants to play games with you? "If a demonic beast doesn't have an inner core, it will die!"

"Ouuu~~"

"He says, he has a lot of these. You can play with it however you like."

"Ah!" He's joking, right?

In the next moment, Bai Yuan let out an "ahmu" sound, and then "hwaaah", a row of white pearls that looked exactly the same was spat out. It then pushed them about.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She turned to glance at little wimp. "Are you certain… these are all its inner cores?" You're kidding me? Who could actually spit out a large pile of inner cores in an instant? You think you're Peashooter!?

Wang Xuzhi: "…"

In the beginning, when Bai Yuan wanted to give her its inner core, she rejected it. However, she could not win against it when it began to roll on the ground and let out such desolate cries. Not even a shred of its pride as a Guardian Beast remained. In the end, Sesame could not stand watching any longer, as it hugged onto her thigh.

"Mistress, just promise him already! Otherwise, even I feel like I'm about to roll on the ground too! Don't worry, Lord Bai Yuan is not a regular beastie, there won't be any problems. I can guarantee with my chrysanthemum!"

Has your chrysanthemum long been thrown away along with your morals?

She casually picked up one, and returned to have her master appraise it. The pearls that were spat out earlier, were really inner cores alright. Zhu Yao felt that she needed to supplement her own common sense.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan was evidently a demonic beast raised by the River of Forgetfulness, and River of Forgetfulness even knew Realmspirit. In that case, it possessing an ability like that could be considered normal.

Wait a minute!

Bai Yuan, Whitesource…

It couldn't be the source of River of Forgetfulness, right?

Why were all the NPCs in this world named so casually!?

Her master allowed her to place Bai Yuan's inner core into her divine sense to nurture it. This way, it would not result in Bai Yuan losing its spiritual energy.

The next day, she was already well prepared to ascend.

Bai Yuan had arrived very early. With just a single "ahmu" sound, the entire sky looked as though it was being torn apart, as several layers of the sky faded away. When Zhu Yao and her master released the spiritual pressure of a Demigod Paragon, above the torn sky, tribulation lightning began to rumble.

Eighty-one, multiplied by two, bolts of Nine Heavenly Lightning crackled as they came striking down.

That's right, all of them struck on her body!

After eighty-one multiplied by two, an additional bolt was just about to strike down.

Zhu Yao glared at the tribulation lightning bolt which had evidently gone high from all the zaps. "Hey, are you done!?" Can you even count!?

Only then did that lightning bolt flash a white little tail, and extinguish itself with a poof!

Then, a pillar of golden light broke through the clouds. The Light of Guidance instantly struck their two bodies. Zhu Yao felt her body had become light, and just as she was about to rise up, something tightened next to her.

"Big sis Yao!" Yue Ying suddenly reached out his hand to grab on the corner of her clothes, and he looked at with hazy eyes. "You promised that you won't throw Yue Ying aside."

Zhu Yao felt her heart turning sour, as she stroked his head. "Be obedient. Sesame will accompany you. Once you're able to head up to the Higher Realm, it will naturally bring you to my side."

He stiffened for a moment, but his grip instead grew tighter. Suddenly, he smiled. It was not the warm and harmonious smile he always showed, instead, it carried hints of crazed infatuation. "Big sis Yao… You lied to me again. Why even you want to throw me aside as well…"

Her heart clenched. Suddenly, she had a bad premonition, and wanted to reach out her hand to pull him. "Yue Ying…"

"Big sis, I always wanted to ask you. Just what is Yue Ying to you? You said I was your little brother, your family. But, you can risk your life for Yu Yan, and you can even die for Wang Xuzhi's sake, so why have you never turned back to look at me?"

"Yue Ying, I…"

"You said that you don't like Yue Ying killing people, so Yue Ying stopped killing. You told Yue Ying to first learn how to be human, so Yue Ying desperately cultivated in the cultivation arts of human practitioners. But why, why do you still throw me aside…"

"The previous time, it was for Wang Xuzhi. This time, it's for Yu Yan. Who will it be next then? Was Yue Ying abandoned by you this entire time?"

"No! Of course not!" Zhu Yao was a little flustered, as she stepped forward to pull his hand. This child had always been selfish and had an inflexible mind. She suddenly regretted a little for not spending more time to explain to him. She clearly knew just how sensitive of a child Yue Ying was. "Listen to me. I'm not abandoning you…"

"I don't believe you anymore!" Yue Ying smiled to her, with a smile that looked as if the world had lost its colours. "Big sis Yao had always said that you would return, but every single time, you threw Yue Ying aside. I will no longer believe you, I will only believe myself!"

His voice sank, and suddenly, the devilish aura instantly exploded out of his body. The earth rumbled, and sand and pebbles flew in this lightless world. His face which had always been filled with warmth was now filled with hostility, as clear black marks were crawled up his face. The sinister and cold aura around his body was causing her to feel cold. He grabbed onto her hand and leaned closer to her. "Big sis Yao, do you know why I can't go to the Higher Realm?"

Zhu Yao's heart sank. She had never seen a Yue Ying like this before.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan flew over and instantly grabbed his disciple. With a turn of his body, they had already retreated a few meters away. With a vigilant look, he stared at Yue Ying who had already been enveloped by devilish energy.

Little wimp and Zi Mo were shocked as well, as they looked at Yue Ying with dumbstruck expressions. "Big sis Zhu Yao, he's… he's a Devil?"

"Yue Ying, calm down." Zhu Yao's mind was in total chaos. This selfish child actually went berserk like he said he would!

Yue Ying smiled even more audaciously, as he coldly glanced at Yu Yan. Suddenly, he began to slowly walk towards them. With every step, the demonic aura around his body would become an inch thicker, and the surrounding flowers and trees would instantly wilt to nothingness.

His smile instantly lightened, and in a flash, he had suddenly appeared behind Wang Xuzhi, clasping onto his neck with a single hand and raising him up. Little wimp instantly lost all strength to retaliate, as his body was enveloped by the devilish aura. "Big sis Yao, will you able to see me after I kill all these hindrances…"

"Yue Ying, stop!" Zhu Yao's heart was even about to pop out. She wanted to fly over, but was held onto by Yu Yan behind her. She had no choice but to shout out loud. "Don't be reckless, hurry and release little wimp."

"Release him?" He was startled for a moment. Suddenly, it looked as if he had recalled something. "Big sis Yao, have you ever wondered, why I can't go to Divine Realm?"

Zhu Yao was dumbfounded, unable to understand why he would suddenly ask such a question.

"Divine Realm is a place where mortals ascend to. I'm a Devil. Unless I open the World Crossing Door, I basically can't head to Divine Realm. I studied for a long time, before I was finally able to find the method to open the World Crossing Door and look for big sis. However, I realized a problem. I can't open the World Crossing Door again, because my soul is incomplete." He spoke these words as though they were just idle chatter, but the devilish aura emitted from his body continued to grow thicker, and it even looked as though it was about to solidify. "In the past, I didn't know why that was so? But now I know. Little sister…"

Zhu Yao's heart trembled, as she fiercely widened her eyes. "Shao Bai!"

"Right now, I'm still not him. Once I kill this person, the missing part of my soul will return to my body, and I will become him."

"Big sis Yao, didn't you wish for me to hurry up to the Higher Realm to reunite with you?" He suddenly said with a serious look. "My soul is just not gathered yet, and he is exactly the part of the soul that I'm missing. By killing him, I will be able to open the World Crossing Door and find big sis."

Xuzhi was Yue Ying's missing soul? Zhu Yao was stunned. Suddenly, she recalled the scene Realmspirt showed her, where two masses of light were split from each other when Shao Bai left the Banished Land.

"Yue Ying, can't we have a nice talk? There's nothing that can't be settled with a little chat. Let go of little wimp for now. Big sis promises you not to head up to the Higher Realm yet."

Yue Ying blanked for a moment. Suddenly, he shook his head. "It's too late!"

Chapter 262: Fortune to the Empress

Yue Ying suddenly tightened his hand, and slammed his palm onto the defenseless Wang Xuzhi. A black imprint instantly appeared on Yue Ying's body, carrying a soul devouring might. It grew large in an instant, and the black mystic patterns on it were like a sharp blades, as they pierced straight towards Wang Xuzhi's chest.

"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao fiercely widened her eyes, as if she had returned to that moment when Xiao Yi said Wang Xuzhi was already dead. Her heart instantly stopped, and as though it was out of reflex, she immediately activated a mystic art which she had left in little wimp's divine sense before this.

At almost the same time, when the black mystic patterns were just about to penetrate into little wimp's skin, his figure blurred, and the person who was enveloped by darkness, had instantly turned into Zhu Yao.

The black devilish formation was struck on her body, and the pain that came from her bones and limbs was something she had never experienced before.

"Big sis Yao…" Yue Ying was stunned right there and then.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan cried out of shock, and he immediately summoned his own sword intent. An enormous white dragon flew straight forward while carrying immense pressure. Yue Ying was defenseless for a moment, and was instantly struck a few meters away. Yu Yan held onto his heavily injured disciple, and even his hands were shaking uncontrollably. "Yu Yao…"

Various light particles suddenly appeared, as they slowly scattered out from within her body, and then, they disappeared without a trace. He inserted spiritual energy into her body, only to be scattered the moment it entered.

Yu Yan grew even more anxious. The black formation Yue Ying used earlier was probably targeted on the soul. He had a premonition, that if his disciple were to leave this time, she

"Big sis Zhu Yao!" Little wimp pulled onto her hand, and tears instantly poured out. Body Movement. When had she planted a mystic art like this in his own divine sense?

"Master…" Zhu Yao felt that the corner of her lips was leaking out blood, and it felt like something was pulling her entire body, as if she was about to be torn apart alive. "Yue Ying?"

"Big sis Yao…" Yue Ying was just standing three steps away, wearing a blank look, as if he was trying his hardest to deny something. "Why? Is he really that important to you?" To the point where you would not hesitate to save him even if your soul scatters? Soul devouring. The mystic art he activated earlier could swallow one's soul.

"Just what did you to big sis Zhu Yao?" Wang Xuzhi madly walked over to Yue Ying, grabbed his collar, and threw a fist at him.

After being given a punch, he lightly moved his fingers and fixed Wang Xuzhi on the spot. Then, he suddenly laughed. "Soul devouring… That's fine… That's fine as well! In the future, big sis's soul shall merge with mine, and we will never be apart."

"You…" Wang Xuzhi was stunned, as the colour of despair emitted out from his eyes.

Yu Yan hurriedly cast an art. Several mystic imprints flew out, restricting the flow of the black mystic symbols in her body and binding her unstable soul.

Zhu Yao was no longer able to feel anything around her, as the sense organs in her entire body were enveloped in pain. After taking in a single breath, she shouted. "Yue Ying… Come here."

Yue Ying was startled, and he obediently walked closer a moment later. He stopped next to her, but his eyes were ash-grey. "This is fine as well… Big sis can finally accompany Yue Ying forever." He wanted to express a happy look with all his might, but not the slightest of joy could be seen under his eyes.

Zhu Yao stiffened her hand. With all the strength remaining in her body, she raised it and swung it over.

Pa. Giving him a resounding slap in the face.

"Yue Ying… It's time for you to grow up!"

"Big sis Yao…" He looked at her confused, and then, his eyes carried madness that he never once had before. "Did you slap me because of Wang Xuzhi? As I thought, he's the only one in big sis's eyes. Even a mystic art like Body Movement which required the continuous consumption of your divine sense was left in his divine sense as well."

"Body Movement, there's one… in your divine sense too!"

"…" Yue Ying was stunned, and he widened his eyes in disbelief. Instinctively, he reached out his hand to touch his own chest. As she had said, he could feel a strand of divine sense that did not belong to him, and also… it seemed to have been there for a very long time. It seemed to have been left there at a much earlier time than Wang Xuzhi's.

His eyes instantly flashed with panic, as he looked at her in a fluster.

Did she not… abandon me?

With a sunken voice, and emphasis on every single word, she said. "You have never been alone. No matter if it's the past or present, you have never been. No one has abandoned you, the person who has truly abandoned you is yourself."

"Big sis… I only have big sis…"

"Do you still remember Little Radish?"

"…" He was startled.

Though she had saved Yue Ying, Little Radish was was the one who raised him up, taught him mystic arts, and taught him everything he knew. He said that he was abandoned the entire time, did not wish to be abandoned again, and did not want to be alone. However, where in his heart did he place Little Radish then? It was not that there wasn't anyone who treated him sincerely, but he was simply completely oblivious to them all. He trapped himself in the circle he drew, and even if others took the initiative to walk ninety-nine steps, he still would not be willing to take that one step.

With the way he was, where he would only be willing to follow alongside her and would go crazy the moment he was separated from her, how different was he from a child who could not leave his parents' side?

"Yue Ying… Why can't you grow up?" Zhu Yao said with a sunken tone. "Don't just focus on yourself… Otherwise, I will never ever see you again…"

Yue Ying was stunned, and finally, he could not help but reach out his hand to grab the corner of her robe. As if he was pleading, he said. "Don't… Big sis Yao, I'm at fault. I know my wrongs."

Zhu Yao's vision was already turning blurry, and this time, it was different from before. She felt a silence as if everything was returning to nothingness, and even the voices next to her began to sound illusive.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan's face paled. The black mystic symbols on Zhu Yao's body were sinking deeper, and even the few mystic symbols used to stop them were being engulfed, as the black mystic symbols spread towards her chest.

"Stop the formation, now!" He turned to glare at Yue Ying at the side.

How, his face was completely blank, as he muttered. "I can't stop it… It's basically impossible to stop this formation."

With a flip of his palm, Yu Yan struck towards Yue Ying's chest, and a white dragon penetrated through Yue Ying's body. What he used was a killing move, and he did not hold back in the slightest. However, even if that was the case, he had merely cleansed a little of the devilish aura on Yue Ying's body, and had merely injured him heavily.

He really wanted to take his life right at this moment, however, his disciple's condition was worsening, and had no choice but to gnash his teeth. He had tried all of the mystic arts that could be used. Mystic arts, divine arts, sealing arts, and he had even thought of extracting her soul and switching to another body in the future.

However, they were basically ineffective. The light particles scattering out from his disciple grew. With each scattering particle, her soul would weaken by a certain extent. In the end, even the body he was hugging onto, was beginning to turn transparent.

His eyes were crimson red, as a heart-wrenching pain exploded out from the depths of his heart. This was his disciple, his only disciple whom he had been holding onto with his hands. There were still many things he had yet to teach her, so how could she disappear just like that?

"Yu Yao, Yu Yao…" Wake up, don't disappear, give your master a response.

The light emitted from her body grew even more, and just as the black imprints were about to gather at her chest.

Suddenly, the two Lights of Guidance, like searchlights, instantly turned and shot straight in Zhu Yao's direction. The constantly scattering light particles earlier began to madly pour back into Zhu Yao's body.

Ting!

A string of red words surfaced.

"Target has received damage that has gone beyond her resistible threshold, forced rollback initiates!"

In a blink of an eye, Zhu Yao's entire body released out a powerful purple radiance, spreading throughout the entire world. A rich voice, as if it had come from the Nine Heavens, resounded.

"Yao Yao, my friend, I'm sorry!"

The moment those words fell, that purple light suddenly retracted, and then, it disappeared along with the person who was enveloped within the purple light, as if that person had never existed.

"Yao Yao, wake up, wake up!" A plain, monotonous voice sounded next to her ears. Zhu Yao felt her shoulders being nudged by someone, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar refreshing face.

"Guoguo?" Zhu Yao sat up, but she felt an aching sensation all around her body. She could not help but suck in some air. "Aiyo, my back… Ouch ouch ouch ouch…"

"You were lying asleep on the table, how can it not hurt?" Feng Guoguo sighed, as she passed her a cup of plain water. "Why are you hiding at my place again? What did the empress back at your home do to you?"

"The empress back at my home?" Zhu Yao felt a little confused. Her mind was in a mess, and she had a slight migraine. After drinking the cup of water and calming down, she slowly remembered everything.

Yue Ying, little wimp, master…

She suddenly stood right up, and looked around. "Why am I back here?" This development was strange. Even if she had died, at the very most, she would switch to another avatar. Why did Realmspirit send her directly back here?

"How would I know?" Guoguo looked at her with a slight puzzled look.

"It's not that. I was at Spiritual Realm in the first place, and I was about to ascend, in the end…" She blurted out.

Guoguo however reached out her hand to touch her forehead, and said with a concerning tone. "You're not having a fever, right? I already told you to quit that dayless and nightless job of yours."

"…" Zhu Yao was stunned. Was everything she experienced just a dream?

She turned around to look at her own computer, only to see the game's event details which she had left half-completed, and her QQ interface was hanging at the corner of the screen. Just as she was about to search for Realmspirit's QQ ID to ask about this matter, she reached out her hand. "Where did my mouse and keyboard go?"

"Enough, stop working! Is there a need for you to be this desperate? If you had thrown them away, just buy new ones."

No! Those were all real. She remembered when she first transmigrated, she was holding her mouse in her hands. It was not thrown away, but was instead brought to the cultivation world.

Feng Guoguo's cellphone suddenly rang. "Hello? Oh hi, auntie!"

"Mn, it's me, Guoguo."

"Yes, I'm back from my trip."

"Yao Yao, is it? She's not here. She might have gone to work… Uh, she often works overtime on Saturdays."

She turned to lookat Zhu Yao, and did a hush gesture. "Your empress back at home is on the phone." I shall help cover for you.

Before she could even finish, for the first time, Zhu Yao had instead snatched the phone from her hands. "Mom…"

At that moment, yearning, sentiment, and grief overwhelming smashed into her, and her desire to meet the person on the other side of the phone grew. Her voice unconsciously began to choke.

"Damn brat, you're finally taking my call." A familiar voice sounded from the phone. "I'm warning you now. If you don't come back home soon, I will skin you."

"Mom." Tears began to flow from the depths of her heart. "Mom, I miss you."

"…" The person on the other side of the phone paused for a moment, as if she had found her reply a little unexpected. A moment later, she gently said. "What is it? Did you get bullied at work? You're already a grown adult, yet you're still acting spoilt in front of your mom."

"No… Nothing, I just miss you, that's all."

"Haah, nevermind. If you really don't want to go match-make, mom will not force you either. Come back home when you're free."

"Mn, mn. I will come back immediately."

"Good!"

Zhu Yao continued to chat with her for a short while, before hanging up the phone reluctantly. It had really been a long time since she last heard the voices of her family members.

Guoguo looked at Zhu Yao a little strangely. "Your mom is calling you back home for dinner?"

"Mn!"

"Why are you not afraid of your empress back at home all of a sudden?"

"She's my mom." The corner of her Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Those distant memories instantly returned to her mind, clearly and brightly. Her mom was a typical idle old woman. After retiring, whenever she had nothing to do, she would love to urge her sons and daughters about their marriages. However, her family did not seem to have any affinity for the opposite sex. Between her and her brother, she was twenty-eight, while he was at the independent age of thirty, yet both of them were still single. Zhu Yao could imagine the pile of handsome and talented youths that would be waiting for her when she gets back.

"Alright, it's fine as long as you have thought it through. It's about time for you to find a partner too." Guoguo carried a concerned look, and said with a heavy heart. "You're not that young anymore. If you keep on staying here, it would be hard for me to find another tenant to share the place with!"

"…" You're just trying to chase me out right, and it's not like this old lady isn't giving you rent! I made a wrong friend!

"Speaking of which… You're one year older than me yourself, right?" What qualifications do you have to talk about me?

"I'm different from you."

Zhu Yao stepped forward. "How are we different?" Other than our chest, what's different?

"I have money!"

"…" Poor-ass – Shot right in the heart!

Speaking of Feng Guoguo, her entire life was like a legend. They had been classmates ever since they were in primary school, and had always been good girl friends. However, she was an orphan, and had to rely on government policies to study all the way to university. When she became an adult, she was then found by her parents'… lawyer. Back then, her family members had already passed away several years ago, and nothing was left behind, except for money!

From what she said, the number of zeroes on the bank account, could be counted to the point where her fingers would start to numb.

This house which Zhu Yao was renting was hers!

Zhu Yao had her own house as well, but it had only been renovated just recently, and required some time to air. Furthermore, because of her empress's intrusive matchmaking arrangements, she wanted to move out even more.

"Nevermind, I'm not going to compare wealth with you." She couldn't win anyway. "Oh right, why did you return so quickly? Didn't you say you were going to leave for half a month?" She looked at the time on computer. It had only been a week, right?

A strange emotion flashed past Guogo's face, as if she had recalled something incomprehensible. Suddenly, she mysteriously asked. "Yao Yao, do you believe there's mermaids in this world?"

"Ah!?" Zhu Yao was startled, as she reached out her hand to touch her forehead. "You can't possibly have transmigrated as well, right?"

She slapped away Zhu Yao's hand. "You sound as if you have transmigrated yourself!"

"…" But she did transmigrate though.

"Nevermind, it's best that you continue thinking about finding a hunk somewhere and bring him back home to give your empress back home an explanation." After saying that, she walked out of the room.

The room instantly quietened down.

Zhu Yao collapsed on her bed. Like lanterns, the incidents in the other world flashed past her eyes, her heart would occasionally twist in pain.

"Master…" Would she be able to see him again?

This couldn't do. She had to hurry and buy a mouse and keyboard, so she could ask Realmspirit clearly. She couldn't allow herself to be forced to break up with her first love, especially in such an unclear manner as well.

Chapter 263: There's a Strange Person Outside the Door

"Yao Yao…" The empress of the Zhu Family stretched out her head from the kitchen, and waved the bottle in her hand. "There's no more soy sauce in the house, buy me a bottle downstairs."

"Ou!" Zhu Yao responded. She then changed into her shoes and left the house as ordered.

"Isn't this Yao Yao?" Just as she reached the stairs, an auntie walked over towards her.

"Aunt Chen." Her house was located in a rather old and small district, and her surroundings were filled with old neighbours who had lived there for several dozens of years, all of whom were extremely familiar with each other.

The auntie nodded, and asked with a smile. "Yao Yao, when did you get back? How many days of leave did you take? Do you have a boyfriend yet? When are you planning to get married?"

"Uh…" Zhu Yao had an awkward look, as she diverted from the topic. "Aunt Chen, my mom is currently cooking and is waiting for me to buy some soy sauce for her, I will chat with you once I get back, alright?"

"Oh." Only then did she nod and step away. Suddenly, she recalled something, and informed her. "Oh right, Yao Yao. You have to be careful outside. I heard that a strange person has appeared at the entrance of the small district. He's dressed in a strange attire, and has been standing for an entire day."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen. I'm just going over to the convenience shop downstairs, there won't be any problems." Zhu Yao replied and then hurriedly went downstairs, afraid that Aunt Chen would stop her again for a heart-to-heart talk of some sort.

Faintly, she could hear Aunt Chen sighing behind her. "Haah, youths these days! Not learning the good, and end up doing all these strange things…"

Zhu Yao did not mind about it, and directly sprinted towards the convenience store downstairs. It was presently lunch hour, yet a crowd was unexpectedly gathered in the store. She lowered her head and found the soy sauce. After paying for it, she heard the heated discussion by the people outside.

"That guy can't be a bad person of some sort, right? I heard that there's recently some lunatics going around chopping people."

"With looks like that, how could he possibly be a bad person? Though, he's dressed a little strange!"

"We can't say that for certain, you can't judge a book by its cover. Even if he looks handsome, he might still be a bad person."

"This is a society where face is the only thing that matters. As long as he has the face, anything can be forgiven."

"That person is dressed in ancient attire, and he's not speaking either. He's just standing there. He can't be mute, right?"

"He shouldn't be. Didn't the guard Xiao Li mention this? That person is here to look for someone, but he doesn't have the access card, and he doesn't know where she lives, that's why he's just standing outside the gate."

"Oh? Then who is he looking for?"

"She seems to be surnamed Yu… And her name is Yu… Yu what again?"

Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, as she fiercely turned to look at the few people. "That person you people are talking about, where is he?"

They gave her a strange glance, and then pointed to the right. "Right at the entrance to the small district."

Zhu Yao lifted her feet and charged out, sprinting towards the entrance of the small district. From afar, she saw a large crowd gathering at the side, and all of them were pointing at the center, having heated discussions. Some had even taken out their phones to take pictures.

And at the center of the crowd, a man in a white robe was coldly watching everything. His ice-cold expression had forcefully shunned everyone, creating a vacuum zone within a radius of three meters from himself.

The soy sauce in Zhu Yao's hands fell onto the ground. She was simply unable to believe her own eyes.

"Master…"

"Miss Zhu, you're back." The gate guard Xiao Li waved at her, and followed her line of sight. "What? You know this strange person?"

Zhu Yao's eyes reddened, as she heavily nodded. With a louder voice, she shouted. "Master!"

"Mister? What mister?" A taxi mister? Xiao Li was startled. Wearing an ancient robe to attract customers? Taxi drivers nowadays sure are going all out!

Just as Xiao Li was about to clarify this, Zhu Yao had already charged into the crowd and broken through that vacuum zone, hugging onto that snow-white robe.

"Master."

The person in front of her startled for a moment, and tightly return her hug an instant later. A familiar voice rang in her ears, carrying a feeling as if he was heaving a sigh of relief. "Yu Yao, I found you."

Never in her dreams would she have expected that her master would come to the modern era. Even now, she still could not believe everything was real, as she carefully pulled his hand, touched his face, and then pulled it, and then rubbed it, and then…

"Yu Yao." Yu Yan pulled down her mischievous hands. "It's me."

"Master…" She was simply surprised to the point of wanting to cry, alright? She had been looking for Realmspirit through QQ for an entire day, but for some reasons, that QQ account had never lighted up, showing that he was offline the entire time. If not for the QQ chat log that still existed, she would have begun to suspect if she actually knew such a friend online, and if she had actually experienced those incredible things.

She was also becoming a little uncertain if she could actually see her master again.

However, in a blink of an eye, he was properly standing before her own eyes.

The voices of discussion in the surroundings grew even louder, as the crowd curiously sized the two people up. Only then did Zhu Yao regain her senses. She suddenly recalled that her master was definitely an unregistered citizen on this side. In order to prevent a news article popping out tomorrow titled 'Amazement! Strangely-dressed Man at the Entrance to * Small District', she immediately corrected her words.

"Why did you rush over here right after the drama shoot? You gave me a fright. Come in for now then."

Only then was the spectating crowd enlightened. He was actually an actor. But the drama crew was a little too rich, right? That hairstyle and costume were simply too professional and appealing to the viewers' eyes.

Zhu Yao took the opportunity to pull him and sprint all the way back to her own home. Then, she heavily closed the door.

"Why are you so slow?" The empress walked out from the kitchen with a potato in hand. However, the moment she raised her head, she dropped it on the ground.

Crap, I have forgotten that there's still two esteemed buddhas at home.

The empress took in a deep breath, and then turned to face the dining room, roaring out loud. "Her dad, come quickly, Yao Yao brought a man back home!"

"What!?" A cry resounded from the dining room. In a blink of an eye, a middle-aged man, carrying a broom charged out, filled with killing intent.

Zhu Yao: "…"

"Dad…" What are you trying to do?

"What are you doing?" The empress had already snatched the broom off his hands, and glared at him. "Yao Yao brought her first man back home at the age of twenty-eight, what are you going to do if you frighten him away?" As she said that, she looked at her daughter with a face that looked as if spring had bloomed. "Yao Yao, how did you suddenly get enlightened after a short trip downstairs? This is?"

"Uh…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "I bought soy sauce, and this came for free!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The empress raised her hand and sent a slap towards the back of her head. She then lowered her head and looked at her hand. "Where's the soy sauce!"

It dropped earlier!

"Forget it, hurry in and settle down." The empress waved at the two people with a passionate look, gesturing the two of them to enter. While she was at it, she picked up the potato on the ground.

I wonder if we run out now, will it still be too late?

She wondered if all girls would experience the three sessions of trials when they bring their boyfriends back home for the first time. During the meal, Madam Yang wanted nothing more than to gather information about someone's family and his eighteen generations of ancestry. The key thing was, a certain master was someone without a keen sense on things, and when it came to something like facing parents, he had completely no experience whatsoever. Though, from the time he came into the house, he had already guessed that the two people in front of him were his disciple's parents.

As to how he was supposed to interact with his disciple's parents, his own master did not teach him about it though?

"This mister, what's your name?" The empress flashed a harmonious smile.

"Yu Yan." Yu Yan replied.

"Surnamed Yu? Now that's a very rare surname. Where do you work?" The empress continued.

Yu Yan blurted out. "I'm Jade Forest Peak…"

"Jade Forest Peak… Industrial Corporation!" Zhu Yao instantly intervened and filled the hole. "Mom, he undertakes nature-related work."

"Oh!" Madam Yang nodded. "Then what do you do specifically?"

Yu Yan replied with a stern look. "I cultivate in lightning…"

"Lightning… electrical energy harvesting and its usages." Zhu Yao's face was drenched in cold sweat. "Hoho, mom. It's a study that concerns the field of new energy sources. You have never heard of it."

"Oh…" Mother Yang was puzzled as expected, but it sounded rather important and expensive. "Then what position are you holding in your company?"

"Position?" Yu Yan pondered for a short while. She might be referring to his level of cultivation. "I'm presently a High…"

"High… Level Manager!" Zhu Yao continued to intervene. "Mom, he's really incredible. In their company, other than the boss, no one has a higher position than him."

"I'm asking him, not you!" Mother Yang glared at her, expressing dissatisfaction at her interrupting behaviour.

Zhu Yao felt like crying. How could she not interrupt? With someone like her master who was naturally slow-witted and cute, and had never known what a lie was, if he were to speak honestly, it would be strange for people not to think he was a lunatic.

Thus, with Zhu Yao forcefully stepping in at the right moments, this QA dinner session finally concluded.

Questions related to work and family were brought up in the beginning. Then, Mother Yang pushed all the way to topics like what kind of wedding he was planning to have, and how many children they were aiming for. Zhu Yao could only use the excuse of there still being a lot of work to do in the company, and then pulled her master back to A City.

This time, she had no choice but to move into the new home which she had long renovated properly.

In regards to Zhu Yao, who had taken up her guest room for an entire year, being enlightened all of a sudden, Feng Guoguo sent a congratulatory message, and asked with absolute seriousness. "Are you certain you don't want to head over to the hospital for a full body check-up, or go for a brain scan or something?"

This was simply a sign of their friendship collapsing at any moment.

After working busily for an entire day, she finally dragged her master back to the nest- ah pui, back to her own home. Thinking that she would from now on go off for work, while she would have a husband staying at home to warm the blankets, it was simply the peak of life. Uh, something's a little off here?

"This is the world you live in?" Yu Yan adopted the serious attitude of an academic researcher, and inspected his disciple's little nest. He discovered many mystic artifacts he had never seen before, and strangely, he was unable to sense the circulation of spiritual energy within them.

"Master…"

"Mn?"

"If you dismantle it any further, that clock will spoil."

Before she could finish, the clock in Yu Yan's hands, with a crack sound, broke into pieces. The gears fell off the casing, rolling onto the ground.

Yu Yan: "…" He had never seen such a frail mystic artifact.

Zhu Yao: "…" Fine, she could still afford another clock, as long as he did not dismantle…

"Master, what are you doing? Hurry and release that television!" That was the newest 50-inch model with liquid crystal display, costing over tens of thousands of dollars!

That white figure was startled for a moment, and then slowly retracted his hands. He was simply curious why his disciple wanted to embed a pitch-black stone onto the wall, and it looked so glossy too. Could it be? "This is Glazed Stone?"

"No, that's a television?"

"What's a television?"

"Television is a terminal used to receive radio waves. The radio waves received by the satellites will be transmitted here, reverting back to the original images and sounds."

"What's a radio wave? And what's a satellite?"

"Uh… These matters are very complicated. In any case, people first film and record their performances or the events that happened. Then, they change them to various types of waves, and then broadcast them to machines like this one through the satellites, allowing countless of homes to view them."

"And what's film?"

"Uh…" Are you 'Hundred Thousand Whys'1?

Zhu Yao decided to simply click on the remote. The television instantly brightened, and it was presently show the newest episode of《Where Did the Silly Person Go》.

Yu Yan stared for a few moments, and then nodded with an understanding look. "So it's a Voice Recording Stone."

"…" Why did she feel that a television that costed tens of thousands of dollars, had instantly plummeted in quality!?

"It can record sounds and images, if it's not a Voice Recording Stone, what else can it be?"

Uh… Fine, Voice Recording Stone it is then.

Then, he walked to the right. "What is this?"

"Refrigerator… No, it's a large-scale ice type mystic art, one at the first rank."

"This?"

"It's a Blazing Fire Stone, third rank." – Induction cooker.

"The one next to it?"

"It's a second rank mystic artifact that makes use of a water type Dirt Removal Art." – Washing machine.

"The one in your hand?"

"This is a multi-purpose voice transmission talisman." – Mobile phone.

Only then did Yu Yan nod. "Why are all the mystic artifacts in this world so low class?"

"Uh… right." After learning to let things be, she discovered that the world had suddenly become a happier place!

"The thing on the table?"

"Now this thing here is incredible. This is a celestial book of records. Inside, a large portion of the knowledge of the world is recorded within." – Laptop. "Of course, there are more information concerning entertainment. As long as you have things you wish to find out about, you can search for them inside."

"Mn." Yu Yan had completely satisfied his curiosity and walked back, sitting next to her on the sofa. Probably he felt that it was too soft, he was a little unaccustomed to it and nudged a little. Pulling up her hand and interlocking her fingers with his, he held onto her hand firmly. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere after returning here?"

Zhu Yao shook her head. "No, I don't. Oh right, master, how did you come to this side?"

"I don't know." He frowned. "Back then, you were damaged by Yue Ying's Soul Devouring Devil Formation, and even after your master had tried every possible method, I was still unable to hold back your quickly dispersing soul." His hand suddenly tightened, a few hints of anger surfaced on his forehead.

"Master…"

Zhu Yao called out to him, and only then did he regain his senses. He reached out his hand to stroke his disciple's head, and then casually pulled her into his embrace. Only then did that restless heart of his slowly regain its calm. "After that, the Light of Guidance shifted from its original position, and struck onto your body. Your master recalled that a form of energy seemed to have torn space apart, sweeping the two of us within it. After that, I sensed your aura in front of that building…"

Back then, Zhu Yao had already fainted, and basically did not witness the incident her master spoke about. When she regained her consciousness, she had already returned back to Guoguo's place, sitting in front of the computer, like how she was before she transmigrated.

"Yu Yao…" As if he had recalled something, he reminded with a frown. "Before entering this world, I seemed to have heard the voice of someone apologizing to you. Within that voice, faintly contains the energy of the Heavenly Dao…"

Apologize? Could it be Realmspirit? Why did he apologize to her?

Zhu Yao immediately moved the laptop to where she was, connected to the internet, and picked out Realmspirit's QQ chat window. However, his avatar was still showing a grey colour. Realmspirit was not online.

Chapter 264: Master, Promise Me, Alright?

"This person is the one who allows you to reincarnate countless times?" Yu Yan stared coldly at the word 'Realmspirit', and it looked as if frosts were about to appear within his eyes. In his hand, it seemed like a mystic art was about to materialize.

"Don't, don't, don't! Master!" Zhu Yao grabbed onto his hand, and sternly said. "This is a voice transmission talisman he passed me, it's not the person himself."

Master, don't act recklessly!

Only then did he put down his hand, though, he seemed to have subconsciously hugged her a little tighter than before.

"Are you able to find out where the voice transmission talisman originates from?"

"Where else can it come from? Obviously, it's the other Q…" Wait a minute! Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. She suddenly recalled that even QQ would have login addresses stored, and as long as she could find his IP address…

"Master, I know of a way to locate him!"

She opened up the technical team's colleagues chat group, and everyone's avatars were greyed out. Because it was the weekend, basically not a single one of them was online on QQ. She instantly swept out her phone, found the number of a colleague, and called him.

The phone rang for several dozens of times, yet, no one picked up.

Yo, this little one is rebelling, huh!?

She immediately typed out a short message over: Within a minute, return my call! Otherwise, I will cancel your right to have end-of-year leaves, forever.

The moment the message was sent, her phone rang in less than five seconds.

I knew you were acting dead!

"Hey, Mouse!"

"Boss…" A teary voice sounded from the other end of the phone. "Do you have to be this inhumane? Today is a weekend, please let me go? If I work overtime now, my girlfriend will kill me. For my lifelong happiness, please be merciful, Boss!"

"Shut up, the hell you talking about?" Zhu Yao's face darkened. Was she that inhumane? In the past, at the very most, she had only called him in for overtime two… three… four… five times a month. Mn. It was not serious in the least. "I'm only looking for your help, not for overtime."

"Eh!?" Mouse was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became spirited. "Boss, speak. As long as it's not overtime, Mouse will climb a mountain full of blades and swim in a sea of fire for you, without the slightest of hesitation. I will do my best till my heart ceases to beat!"

"Do you have a computer near you?"

"Yes!"

"Help me investigate a QQ account. Look for its most recent IP, and clearly investigate the specific location of the IP." Zhu Yao sent over Realmspirit's QQ logs.

"So it's a small matter like this!" Mouse heaved a sigh of relief. "Don't you worry. Give me five minutes, and I will quickly help you ha… Oh I mean, investigate it. Looking at the friendship between us, do you want the service to include hacking his computer? Like infecting it with several hundreds of viruses or something."

"…" What's with this vengeful tone?

The 'patapata' keyboard tapping sounds came from the other side of the phone.

"This IP…" His voice sank. "Sunlight Small District. Block 11. Boss, this is your house's address, right?"

Sunlight Small District, the small district she lived in with Guoguo? How could that be possible!? A chill suddenly ran down her spine. It couldn't be that scary, right?

"Eh, these addresses are…" Mouse suddenly exclaimed, and his voice instantly carried hints of resentment. "Boss, you can't be making fun of me, right? I checked the login records of this QQ account, and the login addresses are basically centered at two places. One is the small district you rented a place in, while the other, is the company's address."

"Looking at the login times, all of them coincides with Boss's work schedule. This can't be your own smurf account, right?" Mouse said, while feeling as if he was about to cry. "Boss, I understand your feelings as a single old-aged young lady, but I'm only going out for a tour with my girlfriend. Can you not damage a couple's relationship like this? Valentine's' Day is still far away!"

"Scram!" Zhu Yao's voice sank. This old lady has already escaped that label, alright? "Send me the information of the IP. After that, you can be on your way."

"Yes!"

Mouse dropped the call, and a moment later, the QQ interface shook for a few times. A picture file was sent over.

As Mouse had said, most of the IPs belonged to her home's and the company's, and even the login times were all exactly the same. Why did she feel this was a little frightening?

"The numbers here, are they dates?" Yu Yan suddenly pointed at the final record, and asked.

"Mn, it's in the order of year, month, date… Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao fiercely widened her eyes. "7/19? Isn't that today? 23:14…"

Zhu Yao turned to look at the time stated at the bottom of the screen, and was stunned. Wasn't that right now!?

She flipped open Realmspirit's QQ chat, and his avatar was still greyed out. Instantly, flames of fury surged within her.

She instantly sent a message over.

Zhu Yao: Realmspirit, get your ass out here now. I know you're there! You're actually playing a game of invisibility with me.

There was no response from the other side.

Zhu Yao: I give you three minutes to reply me. Otherwise, I'm going to smash this computer.

To be using the same IP as her as, and even at the same time without the slightest of deviation, there was only one possibility. Realmspirit was not hiding in some physical location, but right within her computer.

Zhu Yao: Three…

Zhu Yao: Two…

Realmspirit: What happened to the promised three minutes? Why did it become three seconds?

Zhu Yao smiled. You're finally revealing yourself?

Realmspirit: Young maiden, you're too cunning. You actually played with my frail and weak heart.

Zhu Yao: Your sister's frail and week! Confess now. What's with all this?

Realmspirit: Haah, isn't all this for the sake of our pure friendship? You were injured from soul devouring, if I hadn't sent you back here, your soul would have scattered. Even someone like me can't resurrect a scattered soul belonging to another world.

So her situation back then was so dangerous.

Zhu Yao turned to glance at her master, and instantly clicked on the voice communication option. The other side paused for a short while, but it got through a moment later.

"Young maiden." Realmspirit's voice sounded from the computer, and electrical current noises could be faintly heard. "You don't even know how hard it was to send you back here. Uuuuu…"

"Then what's going on with my master?" Zhu Yao asked. "Why did you bring him over as well?"

"Uh…" His voice paused for a moment, and an instant later, he reverted back to his cheap personality. "Aiya, don't mind such small details. The timespan to activate the spatial transfer was a little limited, so the occurrence of slight mistakes should be completely understandable. Just treat it as a buy-one-get-one-free offer."

"…" Why did she feel as if she had been treated as goods? "So you're saying, we still have to return?"

"Of course, young maiden. This is a just a short vacation. Once your soul has completely stabilized, the heavy responsibility of saving the world is still waiting for you! Could it be that young maiden doesn't want to return?"

Zhu Yao sank into silence for a moment. She really did not know. She was not someone with high ambitions in the first place, and had never felt that she should do something earth-shakingly huge. Other than her attachments to that place, she really could not find any aspect of that cultivation world that was better than her own world.

Though the people here were selfish as well, had their own shares of problems too, and that there were lunatics who set fires and kill people as well, similarly, here were various types of good people too. As someone who had been raised well and properly, she believed that there were still many good people in this world. Unlike the cultivation world…

"Young maiden, don't be like that. You said you would help me."

"This time is just an accident. If not, I can write you an apology statement of two thousand words? Three thousand words should be fine too?"

"Don't give up, my dear friend. The white hole and a whiter tomorrow are waiting for you."

"Even if you don't return, your master still has to return too, right?"

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, before turning to look at the person behind her who had an indifferent expression. "Master…"

Yu Yan tightened the hand which was wrapped around her waist, and his chin leaned down on her head. "There's no need to worry. If you don't want to leave, your master shall accompany you."

She was instantly moved for a moment. Emotions filled her chest, and felt as if they were about to burst out. As expected of a good boyfriend. I request rubs, I request hugs.

"Young maiden… you can't be this inhumane!" Realmspirit wailed out. "My world cannot go on without you!"

"Scram!" This old lady doesn't want to live in your world.

"I'm telling the truth. You saw it yourself. Those worlds were all at the brink of collapse." The voice that had always sounded easy-going, now carried a heaviness that had never been heard before. "If this continues, the worlds will collapse one by one, and will finally meet their complete demise. You're the only one who can help me."

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but you have seen it yourself as well. No matter which world, slaughter and schemes were widespread, and all practitioners even viewed killing stealing treasures as common occurrences. It's as if as long as they could raise their own cultivation and ascend, everything they do is right and proper." She heaved a deep sigh, and sternly said. "Realmspirit, I have long wanted to ask you. Just what does the so-called 'cultivation' in that world, actually cultivates? And the Heavenly Dao they strive towards, what kind of Dao is it? Why are those people who kill countless others able to live an enjoyable and long life, while good people like the girl Ying Luo are not treated well, causing even their future lives to be implicated as well?"

"Could it be that the so-called Heavenly Dao, is the Dao of massacre? I just can't understand! IN the world I live in, there's nothing more important than life itself. Killing others, to people like us, is something very terrifying, and something that we can never forget or tolerate. But in that world, in the eyes of most practitioners, it has already become part of their daily lives. The aspect of life is the same, but why is it that on this side, it's prioritized over all others, while on that side it's being looked down upon to such an extent?"

"It's as if kindness and tolerance are seen as disgraceful by the common people. Realmspirit, don't you think there's a very huge problem with such a world? Be it Xiao Yi or Yi Ling, no matter how extreme their beliefs are, when traced back to the roots, they are both influenced by that world. If the world is as such, then there will similarly be another bug existence that can destroy the world in the future. The girl Ying Luo was right. The true Devil isn't the Devil Race, but in the hearts of all practitioners."

"Realmspirit, if you want to talk about bugs, then the true bug is the Heavenly Dao that created all these and connived them. If we see the Three Realms as a game, the problem lies in the main engine. No matter how well the additional procedures are fixed, it's impossible to stop the entire game from collapsing. Realmspirit, what are getting me to fix? The Heavenly Dao?"

"…" He went silent for a short while. Then, his voice suddenly sank a little, as he said with emphasis on every word. "Then… What if I tell you that the Heavenly Dao can be altered?"

Realmspirit said that the Heavenly Dao could be altered, but Zhu Yao was suspicious of it. Was he really thinking that it was a game, and could be reprogrammed!? In the end, she still did not promise Realmspirit, but he did not seem to be in the rush either.

"Young maiden, you can think about it slowly. There might come a day when you're bored to death, and decides to pay a visit?"

Was he treating transmigration as a tour? Something that can be done as long as she wanted to? Zhu Yao did not care about him, and instantly turned off the computer. However, she seemed to have faintly seen through his methods. It seemed like as long as she was still in a disagreement, Realmspirit could not force her to return.

Regarding Shao Bai's issues, she had asked Realmspirit about them as well. Wang Xuzhi was indeed a part of Shao Bai. Back then, Shao Bai was split into two after entering the Heavenly World Crossing Door. One part of him was Yue Ying, while the other part was Wang Xuzhi.

However, the part that belonged to Yue Ying was merely a spiritual body, and he had only managed to reincarnate after wandering in the Underworld for many years. On the other hand, the other part of him did not pass away, due to him possessing the physical body of a phoenix. This was how the ruin in Ying Luo's world came about. Shao Bai had already become a Devil the moment he realized she had opened the Heavenly World Crossing Door. However, because his soul was split into two, his Devil attribute was greatly weakened, allowing him to regain his sanity. Thus, he expelled all of the Devil attribute within his body, and sealed it within that ruin.

It could be said that the Devil which the girl Ying Luo had exterminated in the end, was actually Shao Bai's Devil side which he had sealed. This was also why Wang Xuzhi was not a Devil, while Yue Ying was one.

Zhu Yao felt a little stifled in her chest. She had never seen Wang Xuzhi and Yue Ying as the same person. Though they both belonged to the same soul, they were two very different parts of it. It's the same as how she would be forever unable to treat the two of them as Shao Bai. Wang Xuzhi was just and cheerful, like a little brother next door; Yue Ying was extremely stubborn, like a child with autism.

Though she cared and worried for both of them, she indeed did was not prepared to once again return to that world. She did not prepare to continue using that laptop either, and opted to buy a new one.

Ever since her return, she requested for a half-month long leave from the company. Using this period of time, she crammed her master with the knowledge and common sense of this world.

Though, as expected of her genius master, his learning speed was as fast as being on board of a rocket. Adding that he carried twelve hundred thousand percent passion towards everything to this world, though he still had the same ten-thousand-year unchanging icy look, as long as he discovered something new, his eyes would brighten like lightbulbs, and he would look as if he desired it. The questions he asked, had elevated from 'what is this?' to the basic working principles behind the object.

Only a ghost would know how a refrigerator creates ice, it's simply stated as such on the television.

Her master was definitely a technology geek, right!?

Thus, a week later, she decided to head over to the company and cancel her leave. Before she went off, she repeated her instructions, removed all of the dangerous elements, and then reluctantly left the house. The moment she stepped out of the door, she could not help but turn back, pull on her master's hand, and say with sincerity. "Master, promise me, just like how Erkang promised Ziwei1, before I return, do not tear apart the television in the house, alright?"

Yu Yan was startled for a moment. Turning around, he glanced at the Voice Recording Stone known as a television, his fingers twitched a little. He let out a sigh, and nodded. This Voice Recording Stone seemed to be very important to his disciple, he would leave it be then.

After sending his disciple to that teleportation formation (elevator) that could not even be classified in the lowest of grade, he returned to the house. His eyes were fixated at that ice type mystic artifact. Mn, his disciple did not seem to have mentioned that this could not be touched.

1. How Erkang promised Ziwei: Erkang and Ziwei are characters in the popular television show: Princess Returning Pearl (还珠格格). In this particular scene, Erkang was drafted in a war, and he promised Ziwei, his lover, that he would return.

Chapter 265: Common Enemy of Little Animals

Zhu Yao reached the bottom floor and subconsciously tried to cast an art to summon her flying sword. Then, she realized she had already returned. After making an awkward face, she silently pulled out her car key, and walked to that second-handed worn-down car. The entire journey was a bumpy ride. It had been a long time since she drove, so she basically drove at a turtle crawling speed, and ended up being honked by the cars behind her till she reached the company.

Unsurprisingly, she was late!

The game company she worked at was rather tolerant to their employees, being late by… a few minutes would not result to a cut in salary. Following her memory, she directly went to the human resources department to cancel her leave, before heading over to the planning department. The moment she walked through the door, she saw that fat cat lying on the cabinet at the side.

Zhu Yao had never been liked by animals since young. When she lived in her old home back then, she would often be chased by the neighbours' dogs down several streets. She was bestowed with the title: Dog Go Crazy. Mn. The moment dogs were to see her, they would immediately go crazy. When she was young, the number of times she was scratched and bitten by cats and dogs was countless. Thus, she raised the habit of retreating automatically the moment she were to spot a furry animal.

For some reason, she unexpectedly gave that fat cat another glance today. When she recalled the days in the cultivation world where she was sought after by various beasties, and that heaven-defying World Favourable Impression, maybe… Her strange physique had improved for the better? At a moment of impulse, Zhu Yao could not help but experiment a little.

She weakly reached out her hand, stretching towards that fat cat. "Meow Meow." Come, let me stroke you.

Strangely, that fat cat actually did not resist, nor did it walk away. It instead narrowed its eyes and leaned towards her hand.

It's effective, it's really effective! Zhu Yao had an excited look on her face.

Just as she was about to touch the fat cat's head, the cat suddenly opened its mouth, and "ahmu", bit on the gap between her thumb and her index finger.

"…" Alright, as expected, there wasn't any change at all. That was why, she hated little animals the most. "Aiya. It hurts, it hurts…"

"Boss, why did you offend this fat cat all of a sudden?" Mouse walked over, and looked at her with an expression that seemed as if he was looking at an idiot. "You already get scratched by this cat five times a month, yet you still dare to touch it on your own accord. You sure have guts!"

"Stop with the nonsense." Zhu Yao glared at him. "Hurry and think of a way to make it release me. My hand is about to tear off."

"Alright!" Mouse refreshingly responded, and then he lightly patted on the cat's head.

"Meow~" That damn fat cat instantly loosened its mouth, and rubbed against his palm with a satisfied look, displaying various cutesy and flighty behaviours.

The hell, this pervy cat which preferred men over women!

Zhu Yao hurriedly retreated a few steps back.

"You're bleeding." Mouse hugged onto the fat cat with one arm, and pointed at her hand with his other available hand. "There's medicine in the lounge. Go and treat it for now. It's best that you get yourself inoculated or something."

"Mn." Zhu Yao nodded.

"Haah, I really wonder what the Big Boss is thinking. He clearly knows that you're afraid of animals, yet he still wants everyone to raise cats."

There was an unreliable boss in her company. He would often come up with ridiculous policies, and this cat was one of them. A year ago, it was unknown what kind of crazy thought flew into the boss's mind, as he wanted to cram a cat into every department no matter what, saying that it was to attract fortune. The one in her department was raised the fattest of them all, and it was also the most tyrannical one. The first few days it arrived, it scratched every single colleague in the department. After that, when it had gotten used to the environment, it then began to treat people a little better, other than Zhu Yao.

She hurriedly cleaned off her wound, and realized that only a thin layer of her skin was cut off, nothing that serious. She casually stuck a band-aid on it, and then prepared to head back to work. However, she realized that her boss was presently waiting in her office, and in his hands, was that fat cat.

Zhu Yao had the impulse to storm out of the building.

"Yao Yao, you're here." The man sitting on the chair picked up one of the cat's paw and waved it at her, his face was filled with smiles.

"Fatty, why are you here again?" Zhu Yao glared at him.

"Aiya, isn't it because I missed you after not seeing you at work for a week?" Fatty threw her a flirtatious look, the fats on his face trembled a few times.

Zhu Yao could not be bothered to deal with this damn fatty, as she turned around to pour a cup of water for herself. "If you have something to say, say it now. If you want to fart, then do it quickly."

"Hoho, I indeed have something important to inform you." He pointed at the chair in front, hinting to her to have a seat.

Zhu Yao narrowed her eyes. "Sure, throw that cat out first."

Fatty had a complicated look. Stroking the pet which was extremely smooth to touch, he stood up with a reluctant look, and hugged the cat out. "Meow Meow, this emperor shall patronize you later."

"Yao Yao!" Fatty sat back on the chair. "Actually, it's not a big issue. It's just that during the period you were on leave, I made a very important decision."

"What decision?" Zhu Yao sat down.

Fatty scratched his head, and said with a chuckle. "It's nothing much actually, just that the company requires a few technical adjustments for its future."

"Mn?"

"I sold the company!"

Puuuf…

Zhu Yao immediately spat his entire face with water, and then slammed the cup onto the table. "What did you say? Fatty Yu, if you have the guts, say it once more!"

"Calm down, calm down." Fatty stood up, picked up the document folder on the table and fanned her.

"How am I supposed to calm down?" Flames of fury instantly surged, and Zhu Yao charged right up to him. Though this company belonged to Fatty, the games operated by the company were all made by them from the ground up. Their current state of affairs was excellent, yet he actually said he sold it. "Fatty Yu, do you believe I will kick you?"

"Aiyo!" Fatty hid to the side. "Let me finish. The games in our company had such good prospects, that's why we have to take this opportunity to sell for a huge price. Yao Yao, you must know that although this game company belongs to an organization, the organization mainly deals with real estate. No matter how well we do on the internet here, we won't make that big of a progress. Wouldn't it be better to accept the organization's suggestion, and incorporate ourselves into an internet figurehead? We're still making games, so it doesn't make a difference to you, just that your boss has changed."

"…" Zhu Yao calmed down. What Fatty said was not illogical. Though, after working for so many years, to suddenly hear that the company was sold, she would still feel a little unsatisfied. "Nevermind, I don't understand operational matters. Since you have already sold it, let it be then."

Fatty was a little unexpected to find her flames quelled so easily. Seeing that she was no longer flaring up, he heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh right, the new company will be bringing forward a general manager to take over my position. I will be returning to my old home tomorrow."

"Ou!" Zhu Yao nodded.

Fatty's expression instantly sank. "We are after all old classmates. Before I go, don't you have something to say to me?"

"Die early, and go to the afterlife early!"

"Reincarnate properly, and be a human again."

"Oh, right. Fatty Yu, I will have the colleagues send those cats in the company back to your home."

"I'm called Yu Banban." Why had he never heard her call his name correctly ever since they were young?

"It's about the same. In any case, they both sound girly!"

"…" Being friends with her was a terrible mistake.

Probably because she had transmigrated once before, Zhu Yao's persistence towards the company had dampened quite a bit. Back then, she had only pulled in a few little companions. They made a few small games, and established an unknown small company. Then, she encountered this old classmate Yu Banban, a rich second generation, and ended up selling the company to him. With funds in hand, they slowly made the company bigger. Now that Yu Banban said that he wanted to sell it, as a worker, she indeed did not have the qualifications to say anything. Though Fatty was a little unreliable, his business sense was still pretty good. Since he felt that selling it was a good idea, then naturally, he had his own reasons.

After thinking it through, the resentful thoughts within Zhu Yao had all disappeared. Presently, most of the people in the company were handing over their work, and as a game planner, she suddenly had some free time. Thus, she idled for while, before deciding to leave early.

Her master was still at home after all, and she could not put down her worry at all. Though she had taught him several things in the past few days, she could not help but worry. Nothing will happen if he's left alone at home, right? What should I do if he accidentally gets electrocuted? What if I have forgotten to turn off the gas? What should I do if someone had come over to check the water meter?

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Thus, she bade farewell to Fatty, and hurriedly left for home.

While she was journeying back home, she even took notice of her surroundings, afraid that she would hear news of an accident occurring at a certain place. Fortunately, she returned home safe and sound. Opening the door with an uneasy feeling, she actually saw a certain master, sitting on the chair quietly.

He had already changed into modern attire. Dressed in white shirt and black slacks, she simply could not bear to cut off that black silky hair of his, and had in the end combed it into a bun and tied it at the back of his head. Sunlight shone on him, and it felt as if a white gentle light was sprinkling down from all over his body. It was presently afternoon, and he was sitting on the chair next to the dining table, looking at her with his head raised.

The usual ice-cold face, was emitting out a few hints of warmth, as if he was someone from a painting for a moment. He was beautiful to the point where it was hard for people to breathe.

"Master…" Emotions instantly surged within her heart, as she pounced right towards him. "I miss you so much." I really want to gobble him up!

Yu Yan put down the cup in his hand, and reached out his hand to stroke her head. "You have only gone out for four hours."

"Four hours, two hundred and forty minutes. It's a very long time, master!"

"Are you done with your work?" He casually pulled her over to sit on his thigh.

"Mn!" Zhu Yao wrapped around his neck, and hugged a little tighter. "Master, did anything happen at home?"

A light flashed in Yu Yan's eyes, and then he shook his head. After pondering for a moment, he said. "But your master has a few doubts."

He looked as if he was about to materialized into 'Hundred Thousand Whys?' again. Her heart skipped a beat, as she diverted the topic. "So thirsty. Let me first get some ice water." After driving all the way back, she was indeed a little thirsty.

She hurriedly rose to her feet, and casually pulled open the refrigerator door…

Klang. The refrigerator that was still standing tall earlier, instantly turned into countless components, crashing onto the ground. Only the refrigerator door remained in her hand.

Zhu Yao was dumbfounded. Just what happened?

"I was just about to ask you, where do I install this part of the mystic artifact?" Yu Yan passed her a large circuit board.

A long while later.

"Master, can I discuss something with you?"

"Mn?"

"Can you not be prodigal?"

His eyes swam away for a while, before he said with a stern look. "I fixed it back."

"…" The circuit board is still outside, and you're telling me you fixed it!?

My heart hurts so much!

What's a prodigal? A certain master did not understand. However, he had sensed his disciple's depressed emotions. Was it because she was unable to drink ice water? Mn, as a good, qualified master, he should take good care of his disciple. Thus, he poured a cup of water, and with a twist of his hand, the entire cup was instantly filled with frost.

"Here!" Drink this.

Zhu Yao had face that looked as if she was about to cry, as she received it. "Master…"

"Mn?"

"You can't drink unboiled tap water, even if it's frozen!"

Chapter 266: Passive Pet Dispersing Buff

Ever since the refrigerator in her home gloriously died, Zhu Yao had forbidden her master from tearing down any electrical appliances. Fortunately for her, the refrigerator was still covered under warranty. Even now, she still remembered the expression the maintenance expert had when he came to pick up the refrigerator which had parts scattered all over the ground. It looked as if he was looking at a lunatic.

Don't look at me, I'm not the one who tore it apart!

Just in case, Zhu Yao introduced a new toy to her master – the computer. She then told him that the answers to all his doubts could be found on the internet, and forbid him from tearing the computer apart. This, this technology geek, had completely become obsessed with Auntie Baidu, and was even absorbing the knowledge within day and night. However, his eyes on all the electrical appliances, had turned even more fiery than before.

Whenever he had free time, he would stare at the television, air conditioner, washing machine and various electrical appliances at home. The thoughts, "I already know what kind of mystic artifact you are, but my disciple is forbidding me from dismantling you", were written all of his resentful face.

It even made Zhu Yao felt that she was presently bullying her master.

"Master, why don't we head out tomorrow?" She had to divert the attention of this technology geek!

"Don't you have to go for work tomorrow?" Yu Yan asked, his eyes were still staring at the television. Mn, after his disciple leaves for work, he can then dismantle a small corner of it. Dismantling a single corner should be fine.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Holding onto her master's head, she turned it around. "Tomorrow is a weekend, I'm taking a break. Accompany me out to do some sight-seeing, will you?" After all, they were boyfriend and girlfriend, they had to go out for dates or something, right?

He sank into silence for a short while, before nodding his head. "Mn!"

Only then did Zhu Yao heave a sigh of relief. Without making any preparations, she immediately pulled him out of the door, took the elevator down, and headed to the carpark. However, he stopped right before the car again, his eyes glistening – such a huge mystic artifact.

"Yu Yao?"

"No!"

"This…"

"You really can't for this one!"

"Then…"

"Definitely not!" Even if it's still a second-hand, it's still a car! Don't tear it apart and fiddle with it, hey!

"Haah…" Yu Yan sighed. Then, he said with a stern look. "What's the use of this mystic artifact?"

"It is a mystic artifact used for land transportation. It's comparable to a horse carriage, I guess." Zhu Yao hesitated. "A very fast horse carriage."

Yu Yan nodded, his interest instantly dwindled by half. "Why don't you people use flying mystic artifacts?" Isn't flying faster?

"We have ones for flight as well!" There's planes, of course. "But those mystic artifacts can't be created by regular people. Furthermore, only large comp… large sects have the capabilities to refine them."

Yu Yan was stunned. "Even a mere transportation mystic artifact has to be refined by sects. The technology of this place is actually this backwards?" It was no wonder even those mystic artifacts in the house had such sophisticated designs, they were merely of first to second ranks.

Backwards? The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and she silently nodded. Mn, compared to flying swords, planes were definitely a little backwards.

She suddenly realized she had been living in a backward era. Such a sour feeling. What to do?

The so-called 'date', naturally could not miss out on dining, shopping, and movie watching.

She planned on first going to the nearby mall to buy some life necessities, and most importantly, to find some equipment and a few clothes for her master. What he was presently wearing, was something she bought in haste on the day of their reunion.

Though her master had maxed out all life skills, even if he had to make his own clothes in a modern style, he would still be able to make them flawlessly in a maidenly manner. However, in her master's storage were cloth materials that did not belong to this world. She really did not dare to allow her master to go about wearing them on the streets. Who could be sure that they would not bump into people with expert eyes?

For some unknown reason, though her master had transmigrated here, his cultivation remained unchanged. She on the other hand had reverted back to her original form. Zhu Yao guessed that this was most probably related to the laws of this world. Realmspirit had once mentioned that since she transmigrated there, she was not bound by the laws of that world, which was why she was capable of doing things that many others could not.

Most likely, the reverse was true as well, though it was her master who was not bound by the laws this time.

The mall was not far. Zhu Yao simply drove for a few minutes, and she had already arrived at her destination. Just as she was about to head in, she was held onto by Yu Yan.

"Master?"

Zhu Yao was confused, as she looked at Yu Yan, who was staring straight at the entrance to the bazaar with a frown. "What is it?"

"Spiritual energy." He said these two words with a solemn voice.

"Ah?" Zhu Yao could not understand.

Yu Yan pulled her closer, and solemnly said. "Yu Yao, spiritual energy is not present in this world of yours. However… I saw ripples of spiritual energy earlier."

"Where?"

"Follow me." Yu Yan did not enter the mall, and had instead walked towards the park next to it. The park was not huge, but trees flourished all around it, and not far away, there was even a large grass plain. Yu Yan brought her to a place where trees were especially lush. Because it was still late morning, there were not many people in the park. Occasionally, they would walk past a few who were doing morning exercises.

Dog barks could be faintly heard from that direction. A middle-aged woman was presently dragging away her husky, as it continued to bare its teeth and bark at a small fork road. The sounds of other dogs barking could be faintly heard from that direction as well.

"Be obedient, stop barking." The middle-aged woman was currently persuading that dog with all her might, but evidently, her efforts were in vain. "Haah, what's wrong with this dog today? Really. It's not even moving after being pulled."

The moment they approached, the dog that was still barking crazily earlier, suddenly stopped. It turned to look at Zhu Yao, slowly revealed its white teeth, and then pounced towards Zhu Yao. Its owner was unable to react in time, and her grip on the leash had actually loosened.

The hell, it can't be, right!?

Zhu Yao's heart clenched, and was frightened for a moment. Just how much did the little animals of this world hate her?

As she watched that dog pounce towards her, she suddenly felt a grip on her waist. Yu Yan casually pulled her behind his back, and then glared at that husky.

The menacing dog that was still acting all domineering earlier, screeched to a halt. However, that did not stop its forward charging momentum. With a "bang" sound, it somersaulted, and tumbled onto the ground, covering its entire body with dirt.

"Ouuu…" The husky crawled back up in a fluster, as it sprinted back to its owner's back with its tail between its legs. Its entire body was shivering from fear, and it was even making weeping sounds.

Zhu Yao's eyes instantly shone, as she looked at her own master with a worshipping look, and hugged his arm. "Hero!" She never expected that her master actually carried a passive pet dispersing buff.

Zhu Yao's eyebrows curved, as he reached out his hand to stroke his stupid disciple's head. "Don't be afraid."

"Mn, mn, mn!" She heavily nodded. Hero, please accept my knee1. In the future, she definitely had to bring her master along with her.

"Little miss, I'm sorry!" The dog's owner tugged the husky a few times, as she wanted to walk over to apologize. However, the dog continued to lie on the ground, unwilling to move. Left with no choice, she could only wave her hand at Zhu Yao from afar. "Did it frighten you?"

"I'm fine." Zhu Yao smiled without a mind. With her all-purpose master by her side, in the future, she no longer had to be afraid. She no longer had to be afraid at all!

Yu Yan hinted that the spiritual energy was coming from the fork road, and the two of them walked towards it. That husky grew even more afraid. Before they even approached it, it suddenly trembled, escaped from its owner's leash, and sprinted crazily in the opposite direction.

"Haah, be obedient. Hurry and come back." The owner had no choice but to chase after it.

Zhu Yao suddenly felt sort of refreshed, as if she had just achieved her revenge.

Hmhmhm. All you little animals in this entire world, tremble as you wait in fear! Muahahahaha…

Wait a minute, why was she fussing with a dog?

The two of them walked along the stone pavement of the fork road. Probably because there were very few people who usually pass by here, there were especially many weeds in the surroundings, and they were flourishing as well. As they headed deeper, the dog barks began to sound even louder. Faintly, the barks of seven to eight dogs could be heard.

After making a turn with great difficulty, they finally saw the crowd of dogs barking wildly under a tree. After a closer look, there were several dozens of them, and of different breeds as well. Most of them had collars on their necks, so they should all be pet dogs raised by the people in the vicinity. Standing in an arc, they were presently barking wildly while facing the tree.

This was the first time Zhu Yao had ever encountered so many dogs, and she could not help but hide behind her master's back in a fluster. Master, please cast your dog dispersing buff on me.

When she stretched out her head to take a look, she saw that under a tree sat a hunk in a well-ironed suit, who was crying out bitterly with snot coming out from his nose.

This was the first time Zhu Yao had never seen a hunk crying this miserably, his face was covered in tears and snot. His shirt was still fine, but his pants had long been bitten into several pieces. On his snow-white thigh, there were green and purple bruises everywhere, looking especially miserable.

"Master…" She could not help but tug her master, as sympathy instantly flooded out from her. It was indeed a little too miserable to have been bullied by a crowd of dogs to such an extent.

The moment her words fell, that hunk suddenly raised his head and look towards her. For some reason, his tears began to pour out even more. In an instant, as if he had eaten spinach, he charged out of crowd of dogs and pounced towards her at lightning speed. Hugging onto her thigh, he bawled out loud.

"Guah, mistress… I finally found you."

Yu Yan was just about to fling him away, and even Zhu Yao had widened her eyes fiercely as well. With slight hesitation, she said. "Sesame?"

"Guaaah…" He raised his head with teary eyes. "I'm Yuanyuan… Yuanyuan…"

"Yuanyuan… Yuan!" Zhu Yao took in a deep breath. "Bai Yuan!?"

"Mn mn mn." He heavily nodded. Like floods bursting out, tears poured out of his eyes. "Mistress, the beasties here are so scary. They bit me."

When did I ever become your mistress?

No wait, the main problem here was, Bai Yuan had actually made his way here as well! This was completely illogical!

Her master was placed with the transmigration buff because he was too close to her, and was thus brought to the modern era. What was going on with Bai Yuan then? Because of its shy nature, it embarrassingly ran away the moment it opened the door to the Spiritual Realm. It was basically several tens of thousands of kilometers away from her, alright?

With so many people transmigrating, was this place passing into a sieve?

"Let's return for now!" Yu Yan suggested.

Zhu Yao nodded. Pulling onto Bai Yuan whose face was covered entirely in tears, she glanced at his pants which had long lost its concealment ability. If he walks out like this, he will be treated as a pervert, right?

She thus requested help from life's little know-it-all. "Master…" Fix it up a little, please?

Yu Yan's expression sank. Why did an almighty High Deity have to fix the pants of a male demonic beast?

With a wave of his hand, he picked out a pants from his storage ring, and threw it over. "Wear it."

Bai Yuan sobbed as he wore it. The pants were designed in ancient style, so they were large in the first place. Wearing it was like wearing a skirt.

His upper half body was a well-ironed suit, while his lower half was a light-coloured long dress. Walking on the road, the number of heads which turned around was two hundred percent.

What was worth rejoicing about, was that no one treated him as a pervert. Because everyone simply took him as a lunatic.

Chapter 267: Turning into a Sieve

Zhu Yao's apartment.

"Speak. What's going on? Why are you here?" Zhu Yao passed him a piece of tissue.

Bai Yuan received it. Though his tears had stopped, he still had a depressed look. Biting his lips, tears constantly flowed, as his pair of hands held tightly onto one of her hands, unwilling to let go. He was like a child whose body and heart had been hurt, filled with fear and unease.

"Yuanyuan… doesn't know… either." He sniffled. "Yuanyuan missed Mistress Yaoyao, so… I used the pearl… with the thought of finding Mistress Yaoyao, in the end… I became like this… Those… Those beasts even bit me…"

Zhu Yao sighed as she stroked his head. The feelings of being hated by little animals, were something she understood very well! Back then, she was also someone who was chased down several streets by alien dogs!

Bai Yuan's tears poured out again, as he cried even more sadly than before. "Beasties don't like me… Wuuuu…"

"It's alright…" She stroked his head.

Haah. When Bai Yuan was in Spiritual Realm, he was a beastie who could hold his head high. No matter were they demonic beasts or human practitioners, there was not a single one who did not revere him like an idol. However, the moment he came here, he was chased and surrounded by a few dogs to such an extent. Just thinking about it made her heart sour.

After transmigrating into a foreign world, he was despised by little animals. The shadow in Bai Yuan's heart grew.

Even after Zhu Yao pacified him for a long while, Bai Yuan continued to cry and wail. She felt as if her sofa was about to be submerged in tears. She had to also comment on the fact that consoling a hunk, who was more than a hundred and seventy centimeters tall, was definitely a strenuous physical activity.

In the end, a certain master, who had long found this unpleasing to his eyes, reached out his hand and slammed the greasy alien unconscious. Peace finally returned to the world.

"Master…"

"Sleep, we will speak tomorrow." After saying that, he immediately pulled his disciple back to the room, and tightly hugged onto her as they laid on the bed. Mn. His disciple was still his. Pets or whatever, raising too many of them was too much of a hassle.

After pondering for an entire night, Zhu Yao was still unable to figure out how Bai Yuan came over. If it was just purely the ability of his inner core, she felt that it was impossible. Putting aside the fact that she basically did not possess the so-called divine sense after returning here, it was hard to say if the inner core which Bai Yuan gave her was still with her. Furthermore, though Bai Yuan was a mysterious beastie, his abilities could not possibly surpass Realmspirit's. Realmspirit found it really hard to send her back here, let alone Bai Yuan. If transmigrating was really that easy, this side would have long turned into a sieve. There was no need to wait till now.

Bai Yuan was frightened, and he was unable to speak clearly either. So she decided to ask him in detail another day.

On the early morning of the second day, she dexterously got up, only to realize that Bai Yuan had long woken up, and he was inspecting his surroundings with a confused look.

"You woke up?" Zhu Yao passed by him and poured a cup of water.

"Where is this?" He asked.

"Where else can this be? This is my home." Zhu Yao passed the cup to him, and just as she was about to console him again.

However, he did not receive it. Instead, as if he had figured everything out, he pulled out his wallet from his clothes, took out a Grandfather Mao, and threw it at her. "Take this."

Zhu Yao was stunned. She was unable to understand what he was playing at. "What are you trying to pull?"

He coldly laughed, as he then threw the money on the table. "We are all mature adults. We were just playing, I urge you not to treat it so seriously."

Mature adults? Seriously? She suddenly thought of something, as she then sized up the person before her.

"Bai Yuan?"

"What Bai Yuan?" He frowned, as he looked at her with slight scorn. "This can't be your first time, right? You're merely selling your body, yet you're trying to play a game of true love?"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. With a swing of her hand, she splashed the cup of water onto him. "You didn't brush your teeth in the morning, right? Want me to help you?" Knock out your teeth or anything like that?

"You… You…" With a stunned look, he wiped his face. "I already gave you money, what else do you want? You're just a prostitute, you can't be thinking of having me take responsibility, right?"

"Responsibility? In your dreams!" Zhu Yao even threw the cup at him.

"You crazy!" That man dodged to the side, and looked at her with a startled look. "If not because I was drunk, do you think I will fancy you? Let me tell you this, my standards are very high… Oi oi oi, what are you doing? Put that teapot down!"

With fumes going right up her head, Zhu Yao raised the teapot up, and was about to smash it on his body.

"What happened?" Yu Yan walked out of the bedroom, still dressed in his pyjamas. His face still carried a hint of sleepiness, and his black hair scattered behind his back, unknowingly emitting out an alluring look.

That person's eyes instantly widened, as he stared at Yu Yan with an infatuated look. His mouth slightly opened, and he suddenly spoke. "Mister, may I ask if you're gay?"

Zhu Yao simply felt as if a string in her mind, had resoundingly snapped.

"Scram!" She threw a kick at him. She could put aside him mistaking her as one of those particular workers, but he actually dared to cover her man! Zhu Yao instantly threw a flurry of punches and kicks at him. Arming herself with a broom, she chased him out, and then closed the door with a bang.

That man however was still shouting out loud outside the door. "Haah, wait a minute. If you're not gay, we can still become friends!"

When she walked back, her master had already changed out of his pyjamas, and was sitting on the chair.

"Master, he…" Even though he clearly had the same face, why did he turn into someone else after the course of a single night?

"He's not Bai Yuan." Yu Yan said with a sunken voice. "The spiritual energy on his body has disappeared."

Then, did Bai Yuan transmigrate over, or did he not?

"Most likely, Bai Yuan's soul has merely dwelled in that person's body for a short while. Presently, he should have already returned."

It was no wonder Bai Yuan was dressed in such a way right from the start.

"Then, can Bai Yuan still return?"

Yu Yan shook his head. "I do not know."

Zhu Yao sighed. Initially, she had even wanted to ask him about it. Never did she expect that he would disappear after a single night. Forget it, Bai Yuan after all do not belong to this world. Just from making a small trip here, his heart has suffered such damage. It's good that he has gone back.

After the person, whom Bai Yuan possessed, left, he did not appear in the following two days of the weekends. Zhu Yao urged her master to love the house appliances, and told him things like everyone had responsibilities to uphold, before heading for work like usual.

The moment she arrived in the company, Mouse ran over to her to pass her a message, informing her that the general manager wished to see her.

Whenever a new manager takes up the position in a company, he or she will naturally want to make his or her presence known. As the overseer of the planning department, the manager would look for her sooner or later. Without carrying any worries, Zhu Yao headed straight up. The office was still in the same location, though the person inside was no longer her fellow classmate Fatty.

Zhu Yao sighed, before knocking on the door. After hearing the response from inside, she then pushed the door open and entered.

Only to see a purplish face with green nose and swollen cheeks. Mn… And he looked a little familiar.

Coincidentally, that person raised his head as well, and instantly, he spat out his tea.

"It's you!"

"It's you!"

They spoke in unison.

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you here?"

As expected, something like fate, was simply a bitch! Never in her dreams would she think that the pervert who cover her man just two days ago, was actually her newly appointed superior. As expected, fate was really a motherfucking bitch.

"Ahem…" The newly appointed bitch faked out a few coughs, easing the awkwardness between them. Then, he immediately picked back up his demeanour as a general manager. "Umm… Hello! I'm Yu Tian."

"You're surnamed Yu as well?" Zhu Yao was stunned. "Who is Fatty to you?"

"You're talking about Brother Ban? He's my cousin."

"The hell!" This damn fatty is simply too unethical. So the person he sold the company to, in the end was still someone from his own family.

"You must be Zhu Yao, right?" He stood up, and reached out his hand towards her. "We are colleagues from now on. I hope that Overseer Zhu will continue working for the company like before. Looking forward to cooperating with you."

Zhu Yao glanced at him, and did not reach out her hand. Who wants to become friends with a love rival? Scram!

The corner of Yu Tian's lips twitched. He knew that she was still angry about the matter of that day. "Ahem… About that. It was my fault back then. I was a little… over-the-top drunk that day. Mind telling me how did I end up on the sofa in your apartment?"

"How would I know how you found your way there?" Zhu Yao began to make up a story. She could not possibly tell him that he was possessed by a beastie, right? "On that day, I saw you leaning against my apartment door. You would not leave no matter what, and even hugged onto my thigh, crying for an entire night. I then relented and brought you in, letting you sleep on the sofa for an entire night."

Yu Tian frowned. That's not right. He was pretty good with alcohol, and had never done such an embarrassing thing in his life. Furthermore, he could not recall that he drank any alcohol last night at all. But, when he woke up, his eyes were indeed swollen red, looking as if he had cried for a long while.

"General manager, is there anything else?"

"No, you can return now." Though he was still a little suspicious, Yu Tian had no choice but to accept this reason.

Zhu Yao turned around and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute."

Zhu Yao turned her head around, only to see him ask with sparkling eyes.

"Umm, let me ask about something. That person in your apartment is…"

"My husband."

"… Oh." With such extent of beauty, he was actually really a man. He was really disappointed.

"General manager?"

"Mn?"

"I'm really familiar with Fatty's mother. Do you think I should send her a message, about your sexual preference?"

Zhu Yao observed this new boss for a few days, and realized that Bai Yuan was indeed not appearing again.

This person named Yu Tian was similarly unreliable. As expected of a relative of Fatty. Though he no longer raised cats, he began raising dogs instead. She had seen him pulling along a Samoyed puppy several times after work. Bai Yuan fortunately did not return, otherwise it was unimaginable how frightened he would become.

After a few weeks, Zhu Yao was finally certain that Bai Yuan would not appear again.

Before she could even feel at ease, a few days later, while Zhu Yao was conducting a department meeting, Yu Tian suddenly charged in. Hugging onto her thigh, he painfully cried out and shouted. "Little martial aunt!"

Zhu Yao: "…"

People in the meeting room: "…"

This world would not turn into a sieve, but Yu Tian was about to turn into one.

"You guys continue the discussion, I will return in a moment." Zhu Yao picked up the person on the ground, and pulled Yu Tian all the way towards his office. After slamming the door shut, she locked it.

"Who are you?"

"Little martial aunt, I'm Zi Dan!" He said with a sincere look.

"Zi Dan?" Zhu Yao was stunned. "You're the fatty of Beast-Taming Peak?"

"…" What fatty? He was just a little wealthy looking.

"Nevermind. So, how did you arrive here then?" Zhu Yao sighed.

"Naturally, I arrived here after my lifespan has depleted. Initially, I had wanted to investigate the place, but I never expected that I would encounter little martial aunt." Zi Dan looked around with a curious expression. "Could this possibly be the Netherworld? I wonder where can I enter the Path of Reincarnation?"

"If you jump down from the window here, you can be reincarnated." This place was situated on the thirtieth floor.

"Really?" He was actually eagerly walking towards the window.

"Hey, come back!" He really believed it, hey!

Chapter 268: Release My Master

"Come back, I have something I want to show you."

Zhu Yao instantly pulled him to the mirror at the corner, and had him look clearly at his own reflection.

"Eh?" As expected, he was startled. As he touched his face, he said with a stunned expression. "Could there actually be a formation that automatically slims you down when enter the Netherworld!?"

"Slim down my ass. Look clearly, this isn't you at all, hey!" With your fat figure, no matter how you slim down, you can't possibly slim down into a lightning bolt so quickly, right?

"Not me?" Only then did Zi Dan understand the situation. He looked carefully at the person in the mirror. "Little martial aunt, you're saying that my soul has possessed this person?"

Zhu Yao nodded.

He frowned. "But why do I not sense any ripples of this person's soul at all? Could it be that he has already died?"

"That's not it!" Zhu Yao patted his shoulders. "Believe me. Just a moment earlier, this person was still alive and well."

"Then, why?"

"I can't answer you right now." Zhu Yao sighed. "Everything can only be explained tomorrow." Who could be certain that he would not return a night later, just like Bai Yuan? "Just stay here for now. Once I have settled the things here, I will figure out a way to investigate your current situation."

Zi Dan nodded.

Only then did Zhu Yao walk out. Before she left, she could not help but instruct him again. "Oh right, do not touch anything here unnecessarily. Some of them might be really dangerous mystic artifacts."

After saying that, she returned to the meeting room. After giving all of her instructions in a hurry, she then brought Zi Dan back home.

Unfortunately, the high-end technological genius was unable to figure out just what was going on either. Though, the energy attached to Zi Dan's body this time, was not the spiritual energy emitted by Bai Yuan, but ghostly energy.

It seemed like Zi Dan's lifespan had indeed depleted, but was unable to reach the Netherworld because of some mistake while entering the Netherworld, and had instead arrived in the modern era.

In his former life, Zi Dan's cultivation had already reached the Demigod stage, however, he failed his ascension. She then heard from him that Little Radish was already a Demigod as well, and her cultivation level seemed to be even higher than his. Zhu Yao was slightly able to feel at ease now.

They chatted for an entire day.

In the early morning of the second day, she heard a gasp the moment she woke up. "The hell, why am I here again?"

As expected, Zi Dan had returned as well.

"The door's over there. See yourself out!" Zhu Yao pointed to the door.

Yu Tian left through the door with a confused look. No matter how he racked his brains, he could not recall why he was here in his employee's apartment again. Could it be that he had a sleepwalking habit?

He returned to the company with a confused look, only to strangely discover that every single staff seemed to be looking at him with strange eyes. He felt that things were amiss. It couldn't be that he had done something embarrassing while he was sleepwalking, right?

He pondered for a few days, yet he could not recall anything concrete. He wondered if it was just his imagination, but their gazes seemed to be turning even weirder, and occasionally, there would be small chatters behind his back. This feeling of being the only one in the dark was simply too terrible. He was anxious to the point of grasping his heart and lungs. Finally, he could no longer endure it any longer, and called Zhu Yao to his office.

Presently, it had been a week since he last woke up in Zhu Yao's apartment.

"Nothing much? You simply hugged onto my thigh and called me martial aunt a few times." Zhu Yao nonchalantly explained. This was something the entire office saw, there was nothing she could do to cover it up.

"Impossible!" Yu Tian refuted without a second thought. Was he someone who lacked principles to such an extent? How could he possibly do something like hugging someone's thigh? Furthermore, he did not have the slightest of interest in flat-chested women, you know?

"Hey! I have to trouble you not to verbalize your retorts." What do you mean by flat-chested? Your entire family is flat-chested, alright?

"Ahem…" It slipped out of his tongue at the spur of a moment. "There's nothing else, you can leave now." In any case, he would not believe her in the slightest.

Zhu Yao curled her lips, turned around and left.

Ever since then, Yu Tian would appear before her with different identities, once every week. Bai Yuan, Zi Dan, Little Radish, Sesame… Basically, anyone whom she knew of would appear. Every single time, they would appear for a day, and punctually disappear in the early morning of the second day. They were basically more punctual than aunties, and they came four times a month!

With her boss being constantly possessed, Zhu Yao felt that his life would not go very well in the future.

Even Yu Tian felt that something was amiss with him. Whenever he looked at her gaze, it would always be filled with various emotions.

"Overseer Zhu…" Yu Tian felt that it was time to speak his heart out to his employee. "Do you think that something is wrong with me recently?"

Zhu Yao's heart clenched. "General manager, what are you referring to?"

"Look, in these few months, I have been unknowingly waking up on your apartment's sofa. Do you think…"

"What?"

"It's because your apartment's sofa is especially comfortable?"

"Oh right, what brand is it? Introduce it to me, can you? You can even directly sell it to me too."

Was the sofa the main point?

"Goodbye!"

"Wait a minute, we can always discuss the price…"

Zhu Yao immediately walked out and slammed the door shut. She, who was worried that he had realized the truth, had truly been thinking too much.

However, if he was going to continue being possessed like this, even if Yu Tian were to continue to stay oblivious, others would still be able to notice that something was amiss. Just what should she do?

"You can ask Realmspirit." Yu Yan suggested.

"Realmspirit?" Zhu Yao was stunned.

"Since he was able to send you back here, then others are no exception."

"You're saying, this is Realmspirit's doing?"

He nodded.

Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. Indeed, Realmspirit was the only one who possessed this ability. Flames of anger instantly surged. The hell, he was actually plotting against her behind her back. She charged into her room, and carried out the laptop that was stashed at the very bottom of a box.

The moment she turned it on, before she could even connect to the internet, Realmspirit's QQ automatically popped out.

Realmspirit: Dear friend, you have finally remembered me. Wuuu… If you were any later, I would have run out of battery!

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Even you will run out of battery?"

Realmspirit: Of course, my dear friend! Hurry and plug me into an electrical outlet! Hurry! Save me!

Three exclamation marks instantly appeared on the screen!

Zhu Yao's face darkened, as she turned around and plugged the laptop into the electrical outlet.

"I'm saved…" A familiar voice sounded from the laptop. "Please take good care of your electrical appliances, hey."

You're a virus which infiltrated a laptop, who are you to talk about taking care of electrical appliances?

"Speak. Bai Yuan, Zi Dan and the rest, what's going on with them? Why are they possessing my boss?"

"Aiya, I simply figured that you might be lonely. That is why I'm pulling them over to chat with you."

"Chat with my sister! A normal, functioning human being is about to turn into a lunatic because of you, alright?"

"Don't worry!" Realmspirit said without a mind. "I chose him because he is someone with firm and strong willpower. He will not be defeated by such small matters."

Because he had a firm and strong willpower, he had to suffer being possessed? "Don't fool around, hey."

"Could it be that young maiden doesn't wish to see them?" Realmspirit asked in return.

"Young maiden, you must understand the pain I'm going through for you."

Zhu Yao was stunned. She had indeed been exhilarated from seeing people she knew. Everyone had his or her own selfish desires, and she was no exception.

"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan pulled her into his embrace, and only then did Zhu Yao regain her senses.

"Realmspirt, don't sneakily twist my way of thinking." She was this close to being drawn into his scheme. "My wish to see the people I'm familiar with, and your actions of constantly having others to possess Yu Tian's body, are two separate matters. Don't think I'm unaware of what you're doing. Aren't you simply trying to summon my unwillingness, and have me return?"

Realmspirit turned silent. After a while, he said with a solemn voice. "Young maiden… You're truly the only person who can help me."

Zhu Yao instantly grew a little furious. "Realmspirit, I don't owe you anything. Helping you is not my responsibility, nor is it an obligation of mine. Putting aside the fact that I have yet to decide if I'm going to return, even if I do return, you can't force me either."

"I have already told you this once before. The bugs you made me fix, were all problems originating from the Heavenly Dao itself. The setting of ignoring and stepping on lives is the root of the problem that causes the birth of bugs. And right now, you're sending one person after another to possess Yu Tian's body. Did you ask for his own opinion on this? Is there any difference between what you're doing now and those bugs?"

"But… I'm doing this to…"

"Don't tell me you're doing this to save the world. Does saving a world mean that you can ignore the lives of others in another world? What does Yu Tian have to do with your world?"

"…" Realmspirt was silent for a moment, as if he was contemplating on her words. After a long while, he said with a low voice. "I'm sorry…"

Zhu Yao had always believed that he was different, so even if she had been trolled by him over and over again, she had never blamed him. After all, he was the only one who was aware that a problem existed in that world. People who introspect themselves have never been bad people. This time however, he had indeed gone overboard. Even if she could be said to have an obligation towards Realmspirit due to being his friend, who did Yu Tian offend then? Why must he be pulled into this mess? "Realmspirit, you can think of saving your world, but you must first make sure that what you're doing is clear and right!"

"I understand…" Realmspirit's voice turned soft, and he said with a heavy tone. "Thank you, Zhu Yao. You're right. That place over there is my world, and we should be the ones who are responsible for it, not you. I shouldn't use such methods on my friends."

Zhu Yao's fury instantly sank by a little.

"In the future, there won't be any souls being sent here."

"That's better."

"I will eliminate all the influences on this world."

"Mn."

"Regarding those people that were sent here, I will bring them all back as well."

"That's right."

"Yu Yan too."

"Mn… What!?" Zhu Yao was stunned.

A golden light suddenly flashed from the laptop, and her waist suddenly slackened. Her master who was still sitting next to her earlier, instantly disappeared without a trace.

"The hell, Realmspirit, what did you do to my master?" She clasped onto the laptop and shook it about. "Return me my master!"

"Wait… Wait a minute… Dizzy…" Realmspirit pleaded. "Young maiden, don't be agitated. Listen to my explanation, the laws of the world…"

Her master was kidnapped, what else could be said about that!?

"Wait a minute… Young maiden, release that electrical cord. Don't pull it, we can always discuss things out!" She actually wanted to stop his battery supply. That was too frightening.

"Where's my master?" Zhu Yao turned to glare at him. After all, her master did not possess anyone and had come to this world with his own body!

"He's here, he's here!" The display on the laptop screen changed, and a video interface appeared. The foot of the mountain was showed. Flowers bloomed and the willows flourished, and two familiar straw cottages could be seen as well. Her master, who was still dressed in modern attire, was standing in front of the cottages. This place… was the foot of the mountain situated at Lightning Divine Palace?

Zhu Yao's heart felt empty. "You sent him back?"

"No, no, no. I wasn't responsible for this." Realmspirit's conversation window wildly shook.

Chapter 269: Plane Movement Permit

"What do you mean?" Earlier, he clearly said he was going to take Yu Yan back.

"Young maiden, I have no choice as well." Realmspirit sighed. "Your master would have to be deported back sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. It's not something I can control."

"Deported?" What was he trying to say? Was he treating Yu Yan as an illegal immigrant?

"Young maiden, your world is completely different from mine. This place is too stable." Realmspirit sighed. "Every plane has their own set of laws, and laws are the basic guidelines for world formation. All the living creatures in the plane must be within this set of guidelines in order to maintain the stability of that plane itself. If a deviation were to appear, then it will cause a collapse in every aspect."

"You're saying my master is that deviation?" Zhu Yao clenched her hands. "In order to fix this deviation, you sent my master back."

"I already told you I wasn't the one who sent him back." Realmspirit sounded like he was about to cry. "Theoretically speaking, anything that does not belong to this plane is considered as a deviation. If a deviation appears, it's a grave matter that will influence the stability of a plane. But, your world is different."

"What's different?" Can you finish everything that needs to be said in one go?

"The plane here is very, very, very stable!" He said with heavy emphasis, and within his words, slight hints of envy and jealousy could be heard. "It's stable to the point… where I can be issued with a permit!"

"…" Haah?

What permit? You're really treating this as immigration, huh!?

"Really, I could only come over because of a permit." Realmspirit shook the conversation window. Suddenly, an image window suddenly popped out from the table. On the image, words written in a formal manner could be seen:

Plane Movement Permit

Checked Otherworld Immigrant Realmspirit

Gender:

Age:

Records:

Has been very compliant with laws and rules during the otherworld survival period, records are clean and excellent. No bad behaviour to speak of! Has cleared all requirements for plane movement, and thus this permit has been issued!

Plane Transmigration Inspection Bureau

16 January 2015

Zhu Yao: …

Flips table! What the hell was a Plane Transmigration Inspection Bureau? Why had she not heard of it!?

Where did this strange department pop up from?

"Saw that?" The image window flashed and then disappeared. Carrying a prideful tone, Realmspirt said. "My appearance complies with the plane management pact, and I have gone through all the proper procedures. I'm certified, you know?"

"Then how is this related to my master's disappearance?"

"Of course it's related." His voice suddenly rose. "Your master was brought here along with you during your return, so he was not audited. Without a permit issued, he was categorized as someone who was smuggled in, and could only stay for three months. He was thus forcefully sent back since the time was up."

Her master was actually an illegal immigrant. "Where is that Plane Transmigration Inspection Bureau?" She shall head over to apply for a permit then.

"Uh… Young maiden." His voice carried some hesitation. "Without being at a sufficient level, it's impossible to apply for a permit. If you want to apply for a permit, then you have to work hard in raising your level. For example, helping me with bug fixes or something. Slowly, you will gain the qualifications to apply for a permit."

"…" Why did she feel as if she was being trolled? She raised her head and glared at the conversation window. "You're not lying to me, right? That inspection bureau or whatever basically doesn't exist, right!?"

"You must believe me, young maiden!" He said in a sincere tone. "Why do you think I can only appear in a computer? It's because of the laws of the plane. In your world, I can't appear with my physical body, which is why I have no choice but to stay inside your computer."

"Then why am I able to go to your world?" If laws truly existed in this world, why did she not encounter any obstructions at all when she transmigrated? No matter how it was, she would still be obstructed a little, right?

"Ahem… That's because…" Realmspirit's voice instantly became hesitant. "Young maiden, you are aware of this. Movement between planes are comparable to taking trips to other countries. During trips, everyone would always like… to bring back a few native products and the like. These are never checked."

Native products?

The hell, she was actually that native product he was speaking of!

"Young maiden, knowledge that concerns planes is still too early for you, and right now, I can't exactly give you a detailed explanation on it either. You will slowly come to understand it in the future."

"…" She felt that something was amiss.

"Young maiden, how is it? Are you interested in coming over to raise your level? Applying for a permit is not a dream, hmm?" Realmspirit said in a relaxed manner.

"Can I really obtain that whatever permit for my master if I help you fix bugs?" She felt that this was really unreliable.

"Of course, I shall swear on my principles."

"Do you still have principles?"

"Uh…" Realmspirit paused for a moment. "Why don't I swear on my chrysanthemum then?"

"…" Chrysanthemum my ass. What's your chrysanthemum? Your battery charging port, or the usb port? They will all busted with a single plug, alright?

Zhu Yao sighed deeply. She was completely defeated by this unprincipled and unscrupulous Realmspirit. After hesitating for a moment, she said. "Why didn't you tell me all these when I returned back then?"

"Aiya, you were still in your honeymoon phase back then. How can I possibly have the heart to bother you!?"

The hell, this time you're not just bothering, you have basically bashed apart a pair of mandarin ducks, alright? The moment she imagined that her master was sent back without knowing anything at all, she felt irritated to the point where she could kill people. Only a ghost would believe that that was his only motive! "Speak human!"

"Uh…" After a moment of silence, he said. "Your soul was not stable back then, and it had to be nurtured back in your former world. Only the origin energy of this world can stabilize your soul. If I were to send you back to my world back then, your soul would not have been fixed. To put it simply… you would not have been able to acclimatize."

Acclimatization could be used to explain such a situation?

"In other words, you think that my soul is already fixed now."

"Mn mn mn, your body is now perfect, and you won't feel breathless while climbing five floors at one go!" He sniffled a few times. "Young maiden, you aren't even aware that my permit was this close to being cancelled when I sent you back here back then! My credibility fell by exactly twenty percent. Fortunately, I supplemented it back with my great show of character. That manager of your world… In any case, he's really frightening!"

"…" Someone's character can actually be used to supplement such things?

"On the behalf of me paying such a terrible and miserable price, young maiden, please love me once more."

"…" Why did she feel like bashing him up?

"Transmigrate, young maiden! As long as you say 'I'm willing', I will return you a wonderfully embroidered tomorrow!" Realmspirit instantly released fireworks within the computer screen. "If you sign up for the luxury package now, you can even be gifted with a free boyfriend, you know?"

Do I need you to send me that? That's mine in the first place, right!?

"Haah, nevermind." What else could she say? Her master was deported back already. Now that she did not have the hunk with her, how could she not head back to retrieve him?

Zhu Yao called back home, and spoke a few words with her parents. In the end, she still managed to hold back and did not tell them the truth.

"I can still return, right?"

"Of course! Plane Movement Permits are issued by the authorities themselves! Moving across planes with a single permit is not a dream! Also, whenever you transmigrate, the time you return to will be the same as well! Our goal is to prevent any deviation!"

"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "Enough, let's go!"

"Alright!"

"Realmspirit!"

Young maiden?"

"Stop lying to me. Otherwise… I don't know if I will still be able to believe you in the future."

Suddenly, the entire room darkened.

Who turned off the lights?

A running loading bar suddenly appeared not far away from her. In an instant, the interface shot to 100%.

In the next moment, she fell unconscious.

A long while later…

"Alright!"

When she woke up again, Zhu Yao saw an illusory veil that looked like an aurora in the sky. Furthermore, it could constantly change its colour, making it look extremely beautiful. Zhu Yao stared at it for a full five minutes, only to then realize that she seemed to be a little silly.

When she sat back up, she realized she was sitting on a bed made out of white jade. The light veil earlier was actually a thin curtain hanged above the bed. The surroundings were extremely luxurious. Every object was carefully selected to make this wonderful masterpiece.

Even the floor beneath her was made of jade.

Zhu Yao's first thought was… So rich! It felt as if her entire being was walking on the path to the summit of life!

Realmspirit finally gave her an owner role!

When she raised her head to look at herself, she realized that she had changed into another avatar again. The thing she was wearing presently was not the pyjamas of the modern era, but a female long dress that was wrapping her firmly and conservatively.

However, looking at the decorations, the surroundings, and this rich aura of a young maiden, no matter how everything looked, she had the perfect configuration of a great beauty. Zhu Yao's heart stirred, with intentions of wanting to see her own looks, only to realize that there was not even the slightest strand of spiritual energy in her body, let alone being able to summon a water mirror. She looked around for a mirror, but after circling around, not even the slightest piece of something reflective could be found, let alone a mirror.

Just as she was finding it strange that such an extravagant room was lacking an important object like a mirror, the door creaked open.

Dressed in a pink dress, a girl that was as beautiful as a fairy walked in. She looked at Zhu Yao with large, widened eyes, and an expression of pleasant surprise surfaced. Excitedly, she said. "Grandma, you're finally awake."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. The hell's a grandma? She sized up the girl for a moment. "You can't be called Xiaoqian, right?"

The girl had a joyous look, as she hurriedly nodded. "That's right, that's right. Grandma, I am Xiaoqian."

It can't be? You're actually really called Xiaoqian, hey? This is not a ghost horror film, refute it a little!

"Grandma…" The girl's eyes reddened, and she suddenly burst into tears. "You're finally awake. Do you know while you were asleep, how harsh of a life the clan was living? Xiaoqian had been looking forward to your awakening day and night."

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao felt that was a need to supplement her principles for a moment. "What is this place? And what is this clan you speak of?" Don't push scenarios onto her every single time, hey!

"Grandma, what's wrong? Could it be that your injuries have yet to heal?" Xiaoqian has a worried look. Her peerlessly beautiful face grew even more delicate and pitiful. "Don't scare Xiaoqian?"

"Young lady, you have mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your grandma!" No matter what kind of scenarios were pushed onto her, she could not possibly be the grandma of a young girl, right?

The girl, however, grew even more anxious. "No, I have to get junior-martial sister over to see you. Only she is proficient in the medical arts within the clan." After saying that, she turned around and ran out.

"…" Why did she have a bad feeling about this?

Xiaoqian(小倩) and Grandma(姥姥) are characters of an old 1987 HK movie, called 'A Chinese Ghost Story'. In the plot, Xiaoqian is a female ghost being controlled by 'Grandma', a tree demon, who uses Xianqian to lure in mortals for her to eat.

Chapter 270: Grandma, Listen to Me

Not even fifteen minutes later, the girl came running back with a clickety-clack, and she was pulling onto someone else. That person was also a girl with peerless beauty. She was peerless to the point… where she looked exactly the same as Little Qian.

Peerless twin beauties?

"Junior-martial sister, hurry and take a look at grandma, she has even forgotten who she is."

"I'm really not…" I'm really not your grandma, hey.

"Don't worry." The other girl glanced at Zhu Yao, patted Little Qian, and consoled her. "Grandma has simply been in deep slumber for too long, and has forgotten a few things. We just have to stroke her head, and she will recall them soon enough?" After saying that, she pulled out a brick with a stern look.

"…" What happened the promised stroking of the head? What happened to the promise of being proficient in the medical arts? What are you trying to do with that brick over there?

"Grandma, it won't hurt in the slightest." Peerless beauty number two walked towards her with a sincere look.

Zhu Yao made a prompt decision, and clasped onto the hand which was holding onto the brick. "I'm your grandma! I'm your dear grandma!" I shall immerse myself into this role, is that enough for you?

"I knew it!" Little Qian immediately heaved a sigh of relief. "Grandma, how can you play such a joke on Little Qian?"

Heh, heheh, heheh…

Only then did girl number two silently keep the brick. Sighing, she muttered in a soft voice. "Haah, such a pity."

What's with that disappointed look of yours? What's a pity? Speak clearly, hey. What happened to the promise of the tradition respecting the elders and loving the young?

"Grandma, the junior-martial sisters are all aware of your awakening, and are presently anxious to see you. Let us head out." Little Qian suggested with a sincere look.

Zhu Yao looked at girl number two who was still holding on the brick, and silently nodded.

Little Qian joyfully held onto her hand, and girl number two automatically held her other hand as well. Zhu Yao was beginning to feel that she was like a tree demon which had lived for a thousand years.

After heading out of the door, they walked on a small pathway along the courtyard, and a plaza appeared in front of her eyes. Standing on the courtyard were seven girls who had the same hairstyle, clothes, ornaments, and even face as Little Qian.

Four… Five… Six… Seven…

The hell! Just how many girls were born in a single pregnancy, hey!? This is too terrifying!

"Grandma!" Seven girls with exactly the same looks bowed towards her in unison. Even the angles in which they were arching their bodies at, were exactly the same.

She instantly felt a little fearful.

"Grandma, you're finally awake. That's wonderful."

"Grandma is awake. We will no longer have to be afraid in the future."

"Our clan's status can finally be raised."

"That's right, our clan is even stronger now!"

The girls began to discuss among themselves, every single one of them had excited looks.

Zhu Yao tugged onto Little Qian next to her. "Little Qian, grandma has just woken up, why don't you introduce me these junior-martial sisters of yours! Of course, it's not that I have forgotten. I just want to test you." So, girl number two, can you put that brick away, please?

"Grandma, this isn't difficult for me at all." Little Qian smiled, and pointed to every single one of her junior-martial sisters in front of her.

"I'm Little Qian, so naturally, that junior-martial sister is Little Qianqian."

"…" Isn't this a little too sloppy? Another 'qian' was just added at the back.

"As for third junior-martial sister's name…"

It can't be Little Qianqianqian, right?

"Third junior-martial sister is Little Thirdqian. Fourth junior-martial sister is Little Fourthqian. Fifth junior-martial sister is Little Fifthqian…"

Their names were too ridiculous, to the point she was unable to retort at all.

Wait a minute!

"Then, what am I called?"

"Grandma naturally is surnamed Zhu, with the name Yao!"

Phew, that's great. She was the only one who was normal.

"Because you are our clan's grandma, so everyone refers to you as Grand Qian1!"

Flips table! You deserve a beating! Your entire family deserves a beating!

Zhu Yao deeply felt that she had transmigrated to a world where not a single person had the slightest naming sense. On the second day she was here, she found out just what in the world was the 'clan' Little Qian had been talking about.

She was actually… a dandelion which had cultivated in the mountains for a thousand years! Ps: A floret!

That's right. It was that type of flower with really low ornamental value, which couples would occasionally pick out to act cool.

When she found out this truth, tears fell.

She finally understood why all these Qians looked exactly the same. Because they were all florets from the same dandelion, and their true forms were even umbrella-shaped.

The identities Realmspirit were giving her, were becoming even more adventurous. It had been a long time since she was an ordinary person. From what Little Qian had said, Zhu Yao found out that she was a rather incredible demon. Zhu Yao was a little excited about this fact, though she did not know what her cultivation level was. Though her body did not carry the slightest of spiritual energy, was this not the standard configuration after changing her avatar? Everything would be settled just by guiding spiritual energy into her body.

Thus, Zhu Yao calmed her heart down, closed her eyes, and sensed the surrounding spiritual energy. Taking her present state in mind, she did not guide in lightning spiritual energy right from the beginning, but had first begun with guiding wood spiritual energy. She first did the necessary preparations, and had even prepared a spiritual energy guiding formation, afraid of a situation where there was insufficient spiritual energy around her.

She wondered if she was at the Azoth Core stage? Or Nascent Soul stage? Or even a Demigod? After mentally preparing herself to stay in isolation for a long period of time, she willed her mind, and green spots of light in the surroundings began to gather within her body. One… Two… Three… Filled!

Zhu Yao: "…"

Her spiritual energy was restored in three seconds. Then, her cultivation level was… at the first level of Essence!

Flips table! What happened to the promise of being impressive and incredible?

Why was an old demon which had cultivated for a thousand years still at the first level of Essence!?

No, that's not right. She had only just guided spiritual energy into her body, and possessing spiritual energy was the first level of Essence. In other words… She had never cultivated before this in the first place! Then just how did she gain a human form?

She could sense the evil intentions from the entire world.

"Grandma, are you awake?" Little Qian knocked on the door.

"Mn." She really wanted some peace and quiet.

Little Qian opened the door and came in, carrying in her arms was a washbasin filled with water. After placing it at the side, she hesitantly said. "Grandma, Young Master Pod from the mountains have come to visit you. Do you wish to see him?"

The hell was Young Master Po?

"I will see him then." After all, he was already here. It would be good for her to get some fresh air as well.

Little Qian was overjoyed. "Then, after Grandma has washed herself, Little Qian shall bring you to the front hall."

Zhu Yao nodded, her mind was still filled with thoughts on how she was going to raise her cultivation as she took the towel from Little Qian's hand. Lowering her head, just as she was about to soak the towel in the washbasin.

Stunned!

"Little Qian!"

"Mn?"

"Did you place a bittergourd in the water?"

"Bittergourd? I didn't though!"

Then what were those wrinkles that could squash houseflies within them?

Little Qian was startled for a moment. She then stepped forward and glanced at the water. "Grandma, other than your reflection, there's nothing else in the water!"

"This is… me?" No, no, no. This couldn't be true. That white-haired, pale, old face that was filled with wrinkles, was definitely not hers.

"Grandma, your wrinkles have grown even more beautiful than before!"

A long while later…

"AAAAAAHHH…" A scream instantly pierced through the skies.

"Grandma, what happened to you?" Little Qian leapt from fright.

"Girl!" Zhu Yao grabbed onto her shoulders. "Tell me, we're actually all bittergourd demons, right? It must be, right?" Otherwise, how could she possibly have a face filled with such vicissitudes of life?

"Grandma, are you sick again? We're dandelions!"

"This can't be true!" Why did she turn into an old lady!? So the reason why they were calling her grandma, was because she was truly really old!

Little Qian's face was filled with anxiety. "Grandma?"

"Hush. Let me quietly stay old for a moment."

Little Qian said this. The usual lifespan of dandelion demons was five hundred years. As a dandelion which had lived for a thousand years, she could already be considered as a centenarian.

Little Qian said. In their world of demons, they competed on who had the longest lifespan, and the older one was, the better one would be treated. The older one was, the more authority she or he would have.

Little Qian said. In their territory of demons, they valued on which oldest person in the clan was the oldest.

Little Qian said. What was this thing called 'cultivation'?

Little Qian said. Grandma, your wrinkles are so unbelievably beautiful.

Little Qian said…

Little Qian spoke about many things, however, no matter what was said, it could not change the fact that she had turned into an old woman. Instantly, she felt that her entire body was aching all over!

At this moment, Little Qian spoke again. "Grandma, are you still going to see Young Master Pod and his family? They have already waited for over six hours."

She was not in a good mood, but she still had to work.

Zhu Yao gathered her thoughts, got back into her role, and then followed Little Qian out of the door to show her old face.

Ever since she saw her own true appearance, she began to faintly hear the crackling of her bones. They passed through a few small paths, before arriving in the great hall. She slowly sat at the highest seat in the hall.

Little Qian called them in.

A man and a woman then appeared at the entrance, and in her embrace was even a gigantic, green peapod. Zhu Yao was a little curious as to what it was.

The two of them respectfully bowed in front of her. "We pay our respects to Grand Qian."

"…" You deserve a beating! Both of you deserve a beating!

"Mn, raise your heads!" Contain the anger, contain the anger.

The man took a step forward, and said while cupping his fist. "This lowly one has heard rumours that a thousand-year grandma has awoken in De Clan, and has thus came to make a visit."

"Young Master Po sure is thoughtful!" Zhu Yao chuckled. So their clan was called De Clan. Why was it not Dan Clan or Lion Clan? Not a single one of them in the clan was male!

"Other than this…" That man scratched his head a little embarrassingly. His gaze met his wife's, and then hesitantly spoke. "This lowly one still has a presumptuous request, and I hope that Grand Qian will accept it."

Grand Qian expressed that she did not want to accept his request at all. "Young Master Po, please speak."

"It's like this." He said with a joyful look. "Coincidentally, my wife has given birth to a child a few days ago, so we have the brazen thought of wanting Grand Qian to bestow a name to this child."

So it's giving a name. She was extremely good at things like giving names, but…

"Where's the child?"

"Here!" The woman who had been standing silently at the side the entire time, walked over with an excited look, and brought out the huge peapod in her hands.

This is a child!? You're kidding me, aren't you!?

Wait a minute, Young Master Po? Pod…

The hell, so this is a family of peapods! I dare you to be more straightforward than this, hey.

1. Grand Qian/太倩(tai qian) sounds like 太欠(tai qian), which is derived from 欠揍(qian zou), which basically means someone who deserves a beating.

Chapter 271: All Children are Unbearable

"Heh, heheh, heheh…" With a weirded out look, Zhu Yao stroked that gigantic peapod. "This… These children, sure grew up well!"

"Grand Qian, you're flattering me!" The woman said with an embarrassed look. "I had simply made sure to drink plenty of dew water."

I didn't praise you, hey!

"We wish that Grand Qian will give this child a name, so that we will be able to be showered with a little of your blessings as well." The peapod dad said with a sincere look.

"Ahem…" Zhu Yao straightened up her expression, and said sternly. "Which one is the eldest?"

"This one!" The peapod mom pointed to the pea at the very left. "He was the first one to ripen. The ones next to him are number two, number three, and number four."

"Ou." Zhu Yao sternly inspected that pea, and simply could not see any differences at all. "I see that he looks like a sleek round jade-coloured pearl, while exuding overflowing spirit. Why don't I name him… Little Pea then!"

Little Qian: "…"

The entire room was silent for a minute.

"Grand… Grand Qian, what about the ones next to him?" The peapod mom asked.

Zhu Yao swept her eyes at the peapod, and pointed at the peas one at a time. "Little Pea… Big Pea… Gigantic Pea… Extraordinary Pea!"

"Grandma…" The corner of Little Qian's lips twitched. Just as she was about to speak up…

"That's wonderful!" The peapod dad excitedly slapped his thighs. "As expected of Grand Qian, the eldest dandelion in a hundred miles. Many thanks to Grand Qian for bestowing our children these names."

The peapod mom looked as if she was about to cry from excitement as well. "Thank you Grand Qian, for bestowing such good-sounding names to our children."

"Hohoho…" Zhu Yao patted on their shoulders. "You two have good eyes. There's not many people who can match my taste in this world!" As expected, there were still people who understood her taste in this world. She had to tell her master about this when she gets back.

"Little Pea, Big Pea, Gigantic Pea, Extraordinary Pea, hurry and thank Grand Qian for the bestowal of your names." The peapod mom faced the peapod and said.

Suddenly, white light glowed from the pea pod. Four green streams of light shot out from within and neatly landed next to Zhu Yao. In a blink of an eye, four white, tender and chubby little boys popped out naked. They stood right in front of her.

"Thank you, Grand Qian, for aiding us in breaking from our shells." Four similar-looking children raised their heads up as they expressed their thanks to Zhu Yao.

"Very obedient!" Zhu Yao waved her hands at them.

Only then did the children pounced towards their own father and mother. The six of them looked as if they were celebrating the new year, exuding out immense joy.

The peapod dad and mom once again expressed their thanks to Zhu Yao. "Many thanks, Grand Qian. If not for you, we would still be wondering just when our children would break out from their shells."

"Hoho, it's something that should be done."

The two of them expressed countless more thanks, before bringing the four children back home.

She glanced at the family who understood her tastes, and suddenly, a question rose in her mind. "Little Qian, a pea can only break out of its shell after receiving a name?"

She nodded. "Not just the peapod, all demons need to have a name to materialize into a human form."

So a name was used to materialize a human form.

"Only demons who have lived over a thousand years have the ability to bestow names. The peapod husband and wife was really happy because grandma was able to bestow four names at one go."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Was giving a name that hard? Lowering her head, she looked at the pod which was flattened due to the children breaking out of their shells, and observed that a green light was faintly flashing from within. She tugged open the pod, and retrieved a fist-sized pea that was located at the furthest right.

Was this… missed out?

"That's a dis seed." Little Qian glanced at the pea in her hand.

"What does that mean?"

Little Qian explained. "It's a seed discarded by them."

"Discarded?"

"Grandma, the peapod clan is different from ours. Within every peapod, there would always be a dis seed that's used as nourishment for the other peas, to enable the other children to grow. A dis seed only has a physical form, but not a soul. This one is a dis seed."

Zhu Yao was startled. There was such a rule as well. "Then is this pea still alive?"

"A dis seed isn't living." Little Qian affirmed.

Zhu Yao frowned. However, she clearly sensed life energy within this pea though. Was it just her imagination?

In the end, Zhu Yao still kept that pea, and casually placed it in the wood spiritual energy gathering formation. What if it ended up growing up?

After making the preparations, Zhu Yao began to meditate and cultivate. Though she was unaware of what bug she was supposed to fix this time, with her present cultivation level, even if she encountered a bug, she would most likely be suppressed. Raising her cultivation was her path to victory.

Her master was presently not by her side, and this place did not seem to be the Divine Realm either. Only by raising her cultivation level could she hope to look for her man.

For some reason, though the plants and trees in her present location could become demons, the spiritual energy was very scarce. This was especially so for wood spiritual energy. Even after placing down a spiritual energy gathering formation, the wood spiritual energy gathered was still really limited.

Just by raising to the first level of Essence took an entire night of meditation. Three days had passed, yet the spiritual energy gathered was barely enough to push her to the second level of Essence. Zhu Yao who had never experienced such difficulties in cultivation, encountered her first wall.

It seemed like she had to be more ruthless now.

After reinforcing the spiritual energy gathering formation in the surroundings, she greeted the Qians, and went into closed-door training.

In order to draw in more spiritual energy, she made use of her old method of revolving the spiritual energy in her Dantian, spiraling them in a single direction, so that the inertial oscillation could bring in even more spiritual energy. As expected, this method was much better than waiting blindly for spiritual energy to be drawn in by themselves, and the spiritual energy in her body began to fill up.

Time flowed.

The amount of spiritual energy grew, and her cultivation rose correspondingly as well. Third level, fourth level, fifth level…

"Pea~" An heavy impact suddenly struck her chest. As Zhu Yao was not in a stabilized state, her old bones were this close to being shattered. When she opened her eyes, she saw a green ball tightly leaning on her chest.

The hell, which bastard threw a ball at her while she was in a meditative state!? Do you know that you have to respect your elders and love the young!?

"Pea…" The green ball suddenly moved, leaking out a clear single-syllable sound.

Zhu Yao was shocked and had almost thrown the ball away. After taking a closer look, she found it a little familiar.

"Pea~" It let out a sound again.

Pea? Zhu Yao was stunned. Only then did she recall about the pea that she placed in the spiritual energy gathering formation. She turned around to take a look, and as expected, it had disappeared.

It couldn't be, right? She had merely meditated for a short while, yet it had grown so huge? That's way too much nourishment.

"Pea…" That gigantic pea lightly called out again. It looked far larger than the four peas that were in the peapod previously.

What should she do now?

Oh right, a name. It could only materialize a human form after receiving a name.

"Ahem, I say, little green pea. You shall be called Peapea from now on, alright?"

"Pea!" The pea responded determinedly.

"Peapea."

Nothing happened.

The hell, what happened to the promise of materializing after receiving a name? Could it be that she was in the wrong state for bestowing a name? Let's try again.

"Peapod?"

"Bean?"

"Tofu?"

"Peasy?"

Alright, no reaction at all. Even though it was born in the same peapod, why was it unable to materialize a human form?

Zhu Yao picked up the green pea ball and scanned it with her eyes. Other than being a little fatter, there was no difference at all!

"Pea~" It called out again, before rolling into her embrace. As though it was fatigued, it stopped completely after a short while. Slowly, it reverted to its former fist-size state.

Zhu Yao faintly sensed that something was amiss. However, her present cultivation was too weak and had yet to cultivate a divine sense, so she was basically unable to inspect the pea's situation. She could only put the matter aside for now, as she kept the pea. Just as she was about to inspect the formation before continuing with her cultivation, she heard a few cries outside, followed by faint, flustered footsteps.

"What happened?" She opened the door, and was faced with Little Nthqian running over. They looked so similar it was hard to distinguish them from each other.

"Grandma, the Heavenly Fire, the Heavenly Fire has come!" The girl pointed at the sky with a flustered look.

Zhu yao raised her head, only to see a sky of fiery light. A red formation was presently revolving in the sky, and with every passing second, that fiery light grew brighter.

Flame Guiding Formation!

An elementary-level fire type art.

The formation was not huge, but it was pointing straight at her home!

"Grandma, hurry and leave this place. The Heavenly Fire is about to set this place ablaze."

As expected, in the next moment, the fiery light descended from the skies, charging straight towards her home.

The hell. It couldn't be! Her property! Her wealth!

Startled, Zhu Yao cast an art, and a formation materialized the next moment. A triangular formation enveloped the top of the building in the instant the fiery light was about to reach. She no longer had any face, so she couldn't let her property disappear either.

"Eh? There's actually a demon who knows mystic arts." A tender voice rang out from the skies.

An exquisitely dressed child was presently standing atop a feather-shaped mystic tool, as he stared at her curiously. His hands which were used to cast an art earlier had yet to be placed down.

She understood where the Flame Guiding Formation had come from now. It was by this unbearable child!

"Hey, what demon are you?" The unbearable child pointed at her, and said with a cocky look.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. This little wimp looked like he was merely seven or eight years old. At such a young age, he actually dared to set the forest on fire. He sure was unbearable.

"I have never seen a demon who knows mystic arts before. Tell me your name, and I shall take you in as my pet!" The little wimp rubbed his nose, and said with an esteemed tone.

Who wants to be your pet!?

Zhu Yao took in a deep breath, suppressing the fury in the depths of her heart. "Little one, burning someone else's house is wrong. Hurry and go back home." Watch out, otherwise I will smack your buttocks.

The child descended from the sky, and sternly said. "Be my pet, and I will go home! Though you're a little old… No, you're really old. As long as you're able to run decently, I won't despise you."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. How on earth could there exist such a child that deserved to be spanked?

"Hoho… I'm not going to be your pet." Demons have their own pride as well!

Zhu Yao did not feel like arguing him. This child was at the fifth level of Essence as well. That Flame Guiding Formation took up considerable amount of his spiritual energy earlier, so she was not worried that he would throw it again.

"Eh, wait a minute! I'm serious." The little wimp was anxious as well, as he chased after her.

Little Nthqian seemed to be extremely afraid of him as well, as she leaned closer to her in fright. "Grandma."

"So you're called Grandma!" The little wimp showed a joyful look. "I know now."

What do you know? Zhu Yao turned around, only to see that he had already begun to cast an art. A formation instantly materialized, and in the center of the formation, a summoning contract inscription could be faintly seen. She had seen such an inscription once. It was during the time when her master made Sesame sign the contract with her.

The hell, this little wimp was truly wanting her to become his summoned beast. No, a summoned demon!

This was simply unbearable!

Chapter 272: Subduing the Little Tyrant

That contract formation was already flying towards her, instantly wrapping her like chains. The contract inscriptions in the middle began to float up as well, shooting straight into her core, as if it wanted to forcefully infiltrate her divine sense.

Zhu Yao was startled. She instinctively wanted to resist it, but she was simply unable to stop the inscription from entering. Just as that inscription was about to enter her divine sense, a gold ray of light suddenly flashed from the depths of her divine sense, instantly scattering that inscription.

She suddenly recalled the new divine sense mark which her master had placed on her back in the Netherworld. The Floor Master Yu Jin once mentioned that one could only possess a single divine sense mark.

"Eh?" The child was stunned for a moment, as though he had not expected that the contract would be scattered apart.

The flames in Zhu Yao's heart surged. This unbearable child actually dared to use such a forceful method. If a tiger does not display its might, you're treating it as a sick kitten, is that it!?

"Little one, come here!"

"You're willing to become my pet now? Then why haven't you knelt down yet?" He pointed at the ground haughtily.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She dragged the child over, pressed him against her thigh, and cast an art to restrict his movements. Aiming straight at his small buttocks, she threw slap after slap at them. Pak! Pak! Pak!

A small child like you is not being taught well! Coming out here to play with fire and everything! Do you know that it will cause a forest fire? Not to mention, you still want me to become your pet!? Do you know what are manners? Do you know how to respect your elders?"

The little one blanked for a moment, before beginning to desperately struggle. "Release me, you old demon!"

Haah, look at my temper. Zhu Yao began to put even more force into her smacks.

After seeing that he was unable to break away, the lips of the unbearable child curved downwards, and began to cry out loud. "Wuuaah, you bully! You baddie! Wuaaahhh…"

Hey, who's the one who started the bullying first? "Stop crying!"

"No. I will cry all I want! I will cry till you become my pet!" He began to put more force into his cries.

Your logic sure is flawless!

Zhu Yao sighed. Just who in the world raised such a little tyrant?

"If you continue to cry, I will continue to smack you!" Zhu Yao waved her hands and materialized a blade of wind. She threw it at a gigantic rock several meters away, and instantly sliced the rock into half. After that, she coldly glared at him.

The little tyrant stopped. As expected, he was frightened. Looking at her with a fearful look, his tears stopped flowing, but continued to well in his eyes.

Only then did Zhu Yao retract her hand and pulled the little tyrant up. With a sunken look, she said.

"Speak, who are you, and where did you come from? Why do you want to burn down my house?" When dealing with a little tyrant like him, one naturally had to be more tyrannical tham him. "You better give a good explanation, otherwise I will make sure your buttocks bloom red."

"Wuuu…" His expression paled. Tightly biting his small lips, he looked like he wanted to cry, but did not dare to do so. "M-mas… ter, save me."

"No one can save you. Hurry and speak!" This unbearable child needed to be lectured.

Only then did he begin to speak in bits and pieces. "Xiao… Xiao Bai, junior-martial sister… Qu Yi likes. So I'm here to look for it."

The hell is this mess?

"You're saying you're called Xiao Bai? There's something here which that whatever junior-martial sister of yours like? So you're here to look for it?" Zhu Yao guessed.

"Mn." He nodded, desperately holding back his tears.

Yo, that's unexpected. Just how young is he right now? He already knows about sending gifts to please a girl.

Zhu Yao sighed, as she then squatted down and looked at his small face at his eye-level. "Little one, it's not wrong for you to look for gifts for your little companion, but why did you want to set a fire? Fortunately, the house you wanted to burn down was mine. If it was anyone else, what if there's a little child like you inside it?"

"But… But you are all demons."

"That's right, we are demons, but do demons deserve to die?" There were many problems with this child's education, huh. Zhu Yao really wanted to have a chat with the adults in his family.

His little brows furrowed as he weakly refuted. "But master said… demons are not humans, and they are all very weak. Their deaths are of… no concern."

"Then do you find me weak?"

He strongly shook his head.

"See, I'm a demon as well." Zhu Yao said in a sunken voice. "The strong and the weak do exist in this world, but being weak does not mean one can determine that person's life and death. We have already cultivated a human form, which means we're people like you. We cry, we laugh, and we can feel pain as well. If being strong means he or she can bully others, then if I kill you today, does that mean it's well-deserved?"

His expression instantly turned as pale as snow. No longer able to contain his large drops of tears, they began flowing down. He was young, so he was unaware of the concept of death. However, the moment he recalled about the stone that was sliced into half earlier, he began to shiver from fear.

Zhu Yao instantly softened a little. No matter what was being said, he was still a child. As long as he were to be taught well, his mindset could be fixed.

"Enough, stop crying!" She reached out her hand to stroke his head. His entire body was already stiffened straight. Only when he realized that she was not making any other movements, he began to relax. Zhu Yao helped wipe away his tears. "Don't worry, I won't harm you. I was just giving an example."

"Re… really?"

"Really!"

"You won't smack my buttocks either?"

"… I won't."

Only then did he smile with snot coming out from his nose. He strongly rubbed his nose, and said. "Then… Then I won't capture you and make you my pet either."

"Then will you still kill demons in the future?"

"I won't!" He shook his head strongly. "My buttocks will hurt."

"…" After everything she said, he only remembered about his buttocks.

"But… What am I supposed to do about junior-martial sister Qu Yi's gift?" His small face frowned again. "If I don't find it, she won't play with me either."

Yo, it seems like he has pretty deep feelings for that little childhood sweetheart. He's already crying in such a manner. He sure thinks about her a lot.

"What are you looking for?"

"A treasure of Tranquil Valley." He said sternly. "Junior-martial sister says that there's a treasure in Tranquil Valley that she really wants. That's why I'm here."

"…" This can't be his only clue right? "What's that treasure called? Where is it located? And what is it used for?"

The little tyrant pondered for a moment, and then shook his head. "Junior-martial sister did not mention them."

Then why the hell are you looking for it!?

Alright, as expected of a child. "Then find out more about it before looking for it."

"But junior-martial sister Qu Yi's birthday is tomorrow." He said with an anxious look.

"You can give her another present." Zhu Yao suggested.

"What present?"

Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. "Girls usually like flowers. She will definitely like it if you give her some."

"Really!?" The eyes of the little tyrant shone, and then he suddenly turned to face that Little Nthqian. "Are dandelions considered flowers?"

Little Nthqian trembled. She was about to burst into tears.

"I already told you that those who have turned into demons can't do it!" Zhu Yao pinched his little cheeks. "After leaving the valley, find ones that are in full bloom. You can pick up those of various colours, and then gather them into a bundle. She will definitely like it if you give that to her."

The little tyrant pondered for a moment before nodding his head. He looked eager to try. "Alright, I will listen to your suggestion."

"Hurry on then!" Zhu Yao nudged his hand.

Only then did the little tyrant pull out the feather mystic tool and fly up high in the sky. Just as he was about to float away, he turned around and waved his hands at her. "Grandma, I'm leaving now. Thank you. Although you're ugly, you're a good person."

"…" Ugly!

You unbearable child, if you have the guts, come back here.

After that little tyrant left, Little Nthqian was frightened for a good few days. Everytime Zhu Yao saw her, she would cry and speak of how terrifying humans were.

Mn, she agreed.

After this incident, Zhu Yao realized that the defensive abilities demon had were too weak. She had to find a way to raise everyone's battle capabilities. Thus, she passed on the cultivation methods to the eldest Little Qian. She ordered Little Qian to tell all of the demons to cultivate according to the methods she were taught in.

Probably because for the mighty respect for the creases on her face, the demons did not actually suspect her in the least, and immediately followed her instructions. However, there was little success. The spiritual energy in this place was incredibly scarce. Zhu Yao felt that there was a problem with this so-called Tranquil Valley. However, she could not find a single thing that was amiss after looking around.

On the third day, little tyrant returned. Compared to how he arrogantly set a fire the other time, he had much more manners this time. He had even begun to wave his tiny hands at her from afar.

"Grandma!" He excitedly ran over, his eyes were filled with stars. "I followed your instructions and gave junior-martial sister Qu Yi flowers. She really liked it! Grandma, although you're ugly, you're really amazing."

Can you please not mention the word 'ugly'!? If not because you are a child, I will really get pissed, hey.

"But…" His joyful look retracted a little. "Junior-martial sister says that she still like the treasure here more."

"Just what kind of treasure is there over here?"

"Senior-martial uncle Qu mentioned as well…" He sternly said. "He said that there should be a mystic tool here, it's like… an umbrella. It's really, really huge. He witnessed it last year."

Last year's umbrella? The hell? She even bought a watch last year, hey?

"Grandma…" The little tyrant tugged the corner of her clothes with a hopeful look. "What else… do you think I can give junior-martial sister Qu Yi?"

"You want to give her more presents?" You're not a tyrant, but a tycoon right? "Hasn't her birthday already passed?"

"But… But…" He twiddled his fingers, and said with a complicated look. "Junior-martial sister says that she really likes the gift I gave her, and hopes to receive more."

Alright, you're not a tycoon. You're an idiot!

"Then what are you planning to give?" Haah, she could not shatter apart the pure friendship between children.

"I have lots and lots of peachwood swords." He said with a serious look.

"That can't do." Little girls should like more delicate gifts, right? She took out a wooden hairpin from her home, and passed it to him. "Give her this."

"You're giving this to me?" He said, a little dumbfounded.

"Mn." Zhu Yao nodded. "Go on then." Hurry and deal with your childhood sweetheart, don't bother me anymore. She still had to bring the dandelion family over to shine under the sun.

"Grandma…" The little tyrant suddenly had reddened eyes. Like a little bull cow, he charged right into her embrace. "Other than master, Grandma treats me the best. Little Bai will always remember Grandma. Even if I'm turned into ashes, I will remember Grandma."

What's with that last bit? That's too frightening.

"Alright, hurry on then. In the future, introduce me your junior-martial sister Qu Yi." Zhu Yao stroked his head.

"Mn!" Little tyrant said with a confident look, and only then did he get on his feather and float away.

Phew. He was finally settled with. She had to continue supervising the self-improvement programme of the demon world.

However, she did not expect that the little troublemaker would float back the next day.

This time, he was pulling a long face. His little hands were holding onto his chest, as he pitifully floated towards her.

Was she stuck with this unbearable child now?

Chapter 273: Surging Cultivation

"Grandma…" He sniffled, tears pouring out. He weakly reached out his two tiny hands, only to reveal a wooden pin that had already been split into two halves. It was the one that she gifted him the day before.

Zhu Yao frowned.

"Junior-martial sister says that other than the mystic tool in the Tranquil Valley, she doesn't want anything else." He rubbed his tears, and said with a pitiful look. "Senior-martial uncle Qu even broke it…"

"It's alright, don't cry." Zhu Yao's heart instantly softened.

Little tyrant however grew even more saddened, as he pounced into her embrace and wailed out loud. "Grandma, Xiao Bai got your wooden pin broken. Are you not going to like Xiao Bai anymore?"

Stupid child, you're actually worried about this.

"I won't. It's fine if the wooden pin is broken. I'm not angry."

"Really?" He raised his head, tears flowing abundantly.

"Really."

Only then did he calm down. Sniffling, he stopped his tears, and said in a complaining tone. "Senior-martial uncle said that if I fail to find the mystic tool, I won't be allowed to meet junior-martial sister Qu Yi again."

That mystic tool again. It was already her third time hearing the little tyrant mention it. She could not help but suspect that senior-martial uncle Qu's motives. It was very likely that they had been using this child this entire time.

"It was your senior-martial uncle who wanted you to find that mystic tool since the very beginning?"

"Mn." He nodded.

Zhu Yao frowned even deeper. "Then why isn't your senior-martial uncle looking for it on his own?" He was instead forcing a child to do it.

"Because senior-martial uncle can't enter this place!" He said matter-of-factly.

"He can't enter?"

The little tyrant took two steps forward, and pointed towards the sky. "There's something blocking above. Other than Xiao Bai, no one else can enter this place."

Blocking? Barrier? Why wasn't she aware of it!?

"Xiao Bai, lend me your flying mystic artifact for a moment.

"Ou." He obediently pulled out that feather.

Bringing him along, Zhu Yao rose into the air. When she reached mid-air, she realized that the place she was at was a gigantic valley of several hundred kilometers in width. Furthermore, the entire territory was encased in a barrier. After a detailed observation, this barrier seemed to be some form of restriction that was specially used to restrict human practitioners.

However, for some reason, little tyrant could enter and exit it freely.

Zhu Yao returned to the surface. That barrier was clearly used to protect the demons within.

It seemed like that senior-martial uncle or whatever knew that Xiao Bai could enter and exit freely, so he had been making him enter the place several times to look for an item. Furthermore, he even used the name of that junior-martial sister.

He actually dared to use the pure friendship between children, so detestable! Zhu Yao's favorability meter towards senior-martial uncle Qu had plummeted by a 100 points.

However, just what in the world was the mystic tool little tyrant spoke of?

"Little tyr- Xiao Bai, do you know just what is the mystic tool your senior-martial uncle is making you look for?"

"It's an umbrella. A really huge umbrella."

"What kind of umbrella? Do you know?"

"I do." He nodded. Lowering his head, he pulled out a scroll from the storage pouch next to him. "Senior-martial uncle was afraid that I would forget, so I drew it out for me."

He sure was well prepared.

Zhu Yao took it and rolled it out. What she saw was a drawing of a lifelike, colourful… veil.

How was this an umbrella!? It was clearly a bed canopy!

Eh? Why did she feel that this canopy look so familiar?

The hell, wasn't it the one that was hanging in her home?

Why did his senior-martial uncle want her bed canopy? Could he possibly have some strange fetish?

"Xiao Bai, how old is your senior-martial uncle?"

"Ah?" He was stunned for a moment, then he began using his fingers to count. "One hundred… Two hundred… Three hundred…"

That shameless bastard! He's actually eyeing an old woman's bed canopy!

"Come with me." Zhu Yao pulled the little tyrant's hands, walked to her own home, and turned towards her bedroom. She had to take a closer look.

When the little tyrant saw the light veil next to the bed, his eyes instantly shone. "Umbrella!"

"That's a bed canopy!"

He then hopped towards it. "Grandma, so the umbrella is yours."

"It's a bed canopy."

"Grandma, why did you hang the umbrella above your bed? Is it going to rain later tonight?"

"I already told you that's a bed canopy." Why can't he just forget about the matter of it being a fan? Whatever, a fan it is then. Zhu Yao returned him the scroll that was in her hands. "Look, is this the mystic tool you're looking for?"

The little tyrant looked at the scroll carefully, and then looked at the colourful light veil again, before nodding his head heavily. "That's right, this is it."

Zhu Yao looked at the light veil carefully, and realized there was a faint ripple of spiritual energy from it. Though it was a very small amount, it was indeed spiritual energy. Furthermore, it looked like it was made out of a rainbow of colours before, but it had now turned into a faint green.

She reached out her hand to touch it. She realized it had a soft texture, with a slight stickiness in it. This feeling… Why was it so similar to the barrier outside?

"Little tyrant, let's take a look up there again."

"Grandma, I'm called Xiao Bai…"

"Aiya, don't mind such minor details." Zhu Yao kept the bed canopy and pulled the little tyrant out. Taking the feather from his palm, she leapt into the air and once again flew upwards.

Zhu Yao carefully inspected the barrier above, and as expected, it was exactly the same as the bed canopy in her hands. The difference was that the barrier was transparent, while her canopy was faint green in colour. Furthermore, spiritual energy was flowing above the barrier, but it was impossible to distinguish its attribute.

She took a deep breath, and then carefully reached out her hand to touch the barrier. However, she immediately passed through it, and in an instant, large amount of spiritual energy rapidly poured into her body. Her Dantian which was empty just earlier, was instantly filled completely. It was so immense she could barely maintain her posture. Crackling sounds rang in her mind, as if things were being broken. Her cultivation instantly surged, and when she wanted to retract her hand, she was simply unable to move.

"Grandma!" The little tyrant was shocked as well, as he took over the control of the flying mystic tool. In a fluster, he tried to pull her, but his attempt was unsuccessful. Anxious, he pushed her out of the barrier.

The pouring of spiritual energy stopped, but the rapid movements within her body were still intensifying. Countless disorderly spiritual energy was filling her entire body. Several bloody scars had already appeared all around her body, and in an instant, she her entire being was covered in blood.

"Grandma… Grandma, are you alright…" The little tyrant cried out of anxiety. Most likely, this was his first time seeing such a terrifying sight of a human covered in blood. Tears of worry and fear poured out.

Zhu Yao desperately restrained the spiritual energy in her body, gritted her teeth, and mustered out a few words. "Bring me… back… to a safe place." She had to meditate and digest the spiritual energy in her body.

"Safe place… Safe…" The little tyrant pondered in a panic, and then heavily nodded. "Okay!"

Then, he controlled the feather and brought her to a faraway floating mountain.

Wait a minute, where are you going? She meant to bring her back to the valley, why was he running off somewhere else?

Unfortunately, she no longer had the strength to resist. She was a pile of old bones in the first place, yet she was struck and bashed by various spiritual energy in such a disorderly manner. She was barely able to breathe.

The little tyrant flew at high speeds, bringing her into a small mansion as fast as possible.

Zhu Yao was about to lose her consciousness from the pain. She used up all her strength to sit in an upright position, and forcefully entered the meditative state.

She wouldn't have known if she didn't look, but after looking at it, she was shocked speechless.

Her body was filled with a myriad of colours. Red, blue, gold, yellow and green. She had all sorts of spiritual energy in her, to the point where it could look like a steamboat. Furthermore, these spiritual energy were scattered in all directions, bashing violently at her meridians.

She had to go on a large-scale cleaning here! Zhu Yao took a deep breath and calmed herself down. First, she carefully split apart the spiritual energy according to their colours. Then, she placed the spiritual energy of the same colour together, arranging them nicely. Finally, she guided them into her Dantian.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice… eh?

What's with that transparent one? Why is there a transparent spiritual energy, hey?

Isn't this a rise in difficulty level?

Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. She couldn't be bothered anymore and simply put them in a cluster. Otherwise she would definitely die from body implosion due to the abundant spiritual energy in her meridians.

As she guided the five types of spiritual energy and mutated spiritual energy into her Dantian, she carefully inspected that unique transparent spiritual energy. She realized that the transparent spiritual energy was very miniscule in amount, to the point where it was merely about a hundredth of the other types of spiritual energy. She did not dare to guide this unknown spiritual energy into her Dantian either. After all, what if it were to cause an allergic reaction? She had no choice but to temporarily leave it in her meridians.

A large portion of her focus was on splitting the spiritual energy. As the five elements conflicted with one another, the violent spiritual energy instantly quietened down after being split apart. By guiding them on her own, she was able to insert them orderly into her Dantian.

There wasn't any abnormal reactions or any rebounds coming from her Dantian as well. This could only mean that her old-aged avatar this time was a trash penta spirit veins.

Oh wait, she carried ice, lightning and wind spirit veins as well. It's the harmony spirit veins. This was her second time encountering the harmony spirit veins after her dragon avatar.

Splitting spiritual energy apart was a very time-consuming and tedious work. She could not even sense the flow of time either. Most of the spiritual energy had already been split, but a new problem had arisen. Her Dantian was full.

She was now bloated again.

She was about to establish her Foundation! However, on one end was a bloated Dantian, while the other was a set of meridians filled with disorderly spiritual energy. If she were to establish her Foundation now, at the same time of her Dantian expanding, the spiritual energy inside would be stimulated as well.

If the two ends were to go berserk at the same time, suppressing them was something she couldn't possibly do!

However, if she were to resist establishing her Foundation, she would either be killed by the rampant spiritual energy smashing her meridians apart, or she would be killed by her Dantian shattering. Either way was a route to death!

The hell. Realmspirit, you freaking bastard! What kind of ridiculous avatar did you give me!?

Since no matter which choice she take would result to death, hell, it was all or nothing.

Zhu Yao focused her mind and immediately established her Foundation, guiding the clustered spiritual energy into her Dantian at ten times the speed. Immense pain instantly filled her entire body, while her Dantian began to expand outwards and the abundant spiritual energy within began to be stimulated as well. Even the spiritual energy outside began to rapidly squeeze within like administering chicken blood therapy.

Furthermore, the disorderly spiritual energy in her meridians went out of control, and began smashing onto her meridians more violently than before. After a short while, she was no longer able to feel a single complete meridian. They were not damaged, but had simply shattered into smithereens.

Not only that, her Dantian did not make a breakthrough even after a long while. The spiritual energy that was split into clusters initially had begun to mix again. The endless pain filled her entire body, to the point where her consciousness was even beginning to blur.

Zhu Yao wanted to cry. Realmspirit, you did this on purpose, right? Giving her an avatar like this, and not to mention how old she was, it was all to have her return to the soil, right?

Chapter 274: Wife, It's Me!

She was no longer able to squeeze out even a hint of energy. The faint thought of simply switching to a new avatar rose in her mind. Mn, before that, I should first bash Realmspirit up.

Just when her consciousness was about to completely disappear, the transparent spiritual energy which had been quietly staying in her meridians and could not be easily arranged, began to swim about in her meridians.

What was even more mystical was, everywhere it flowed, the surrounding spiritual energy would quieten down and would automatically begin to separate itself by colour.

Zhu Yao was stunned. All she could do was watch as that transparent spiritual energy calm down the raging spiritual energy in the meridians, like a group leader. Even the disturbance in her Dantian had also ceased as well.

In the next moment, she simply felt as if something had rung in her mind, as though something had broken through. Her Foundation establishment was successful.

Such a godly turn of events!

Just what kind of divine power was that transparent spiritual energy?

After the establishment of her Foundation, the transparent spiritual energy did not stop. Instead, it began to slowly flow within her meridians. Wherever it flowed, the meridians which were damaged by the spiritual energy began to recover, while the separated spiritual energy entered her Dantian in an orderly manner.

After a long while, the meridians in her body had all been completely restored, and her meridians had also grown wider after the rise of her cultivation. She even felt that her old bones had gotten a bit stronger.

Zhu Yao took a deep breath and sensed the unprecedented vigorous energy that was in her body. Just as she opened her eyes, she was faced with a pair of fish's buble eyes that were welled up with hot tears.

"Grandma…" Little tyrant sniffled, as he forcefully rubbed his eyes. "You're finally awake."

It seemed like she had frightened him bad. Zhu Yao's heart softened, as she stroked his little head. "Good boy."

"Grandma, you have already slept for an entire day and night." He said pitifully. "I didn't even dare to look for Qu Yi to play with. Fortunately, you're awake. I can head out again now."

"…" So the thing you were about was actually this, hey!?

"Where are we?" Only then did she notice her surroundings. This place was a regular room. There were not many things around, but they were really neatly arranged.

"This is my home." Little tyrant replied.

"Your home?" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Little Tyrant was a practitioner, then his house should be…

"Ness Cesary Sect!" Little Tyrant proudly raised his chest.

Your sister!

She was a dandelion demon! Furthermore, the relationship between demons and the practitioners of this world was not even the slightest of harmonious, alright? He actually brought her openly into a sect of practitioners. Zhu Yao felt her heart clenching.

She stood right up. "Not good. I have to leave quickly." Otherwise, she wouldn't even know when she could die.

"Little Bai!" An heavy male voice sounded from outside, and the door creaked open from the outside.

She's finished!

"When will you…" A stern-looking man dressed in an azure robe entered the building, and was stunned!

Zhu Yao: "…"

"You…" The man was dumbfounded, as he looked straight at Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao's heart was in a fluster, as the depths of her mind began to flash out several vegetable dishes. Stir-fried dandelions, steamed dandelions, boiled dandelions…

She wondered just how she should run in order to make her escape look a little more convincing?

Let me go! "Oh hero…"

"Wife…"

What? What did you just call me?

"Wife!" The man's demeanour suddenly changed, as he pounced towards her and hugged onto her thighs. Sniffling and with tears in his eyes, he cried out. "You're finally willing to see me. This husband has waited you for such a long time. You're finally out here."

-Flips table- What kind of scenario is this!?

"Dear gentleman, who are you? You picked up the wrong script, didn't you?" This person here has a girlfriend, hurry and let my thigh go, hey.

"Wife." However, he was like an octopus, clinging tightly onto her thighs. "I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have despised that graceful body figure of yours. Neither should I have despised your ecstatical creases and sexy skin."

"Even if you're so ugly to the point where your human- I mean, dandelion features can no longer be seen, I will still love you."

"Are you certain you're not being sarcastic?"

"Return to my side, my wife. I will no longer be angry at you."

"Ghosts are about to return to the surface, I tell you. Who the hell are you?"

"It's fine if you don't acknowledge me. I will continue to wait for you. I love you, my wife!"

"Your sister's your wife! Who the hell is your wife!? Let me go, hey."

"No, I will no longer leave you. My heart is a rock that cannot be easily turned by others."

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. "A rock cannot be turned, but it can roll!" She could not endure it any longer, as she raised her leg and kicked.

That man however still had the same determined look, as he looked at her affectionately. "Hit me then, my wife. As long as it can make you feel better, please feel free to ravage my body."

"…" Who wants to ravage your body? Don't speak of something so immoral in such a righteous tone, hey. What if someone misunderstands?

"Senior-martial uncle?" Little tyrant looked at the man dumbfoundedly, and then glanced at Zhu Yao. "Grandma?"

Don't look at me. I don't know what's going on either? Why isn't there an explanation of this present scenario at all?

"Junior-martial nephew Bai." The man crawled up from the ground, and patted on the little tyrant's head as he spoke in a grateful tone. "You have done very well. At first I had thought that you would only be able to take away my wife's umbrella. Never did I expect that you would bring her directly out here. You sure are senior-martial uncle's good nephew!"

The little tyrant's face reddened. "I didn't actually do anything. It was Grandma who…"

"No, in the future, you have to call her senior-martial aunt."

"Hey hey hey…" Zhu Yao pulled the little tyrant back. I'm still alive and well, don't make decisions on your own! "Just who in the world are you?"

"My wife…" The man's eyes reddened. "Are you still not willing to forgive me?"

The little tyrant raised his head as well. "Senior-martial aunt, forgive senior-martial uncle already!"

"Forgive my ass. I don't even know him."

The man looked even more pitiful. "My wife, as expected, you still aren't willing to forgive me."

"Grandma…" How can you be so heartless and cruel?

Zhu Yao: "…"

Just what was this sense of defeat she was feeling for being unable to clarify herself? She would have rather been stir-fried, steamed or boiled.

"Wait!" Zhu Yao heavily slammed onto the table. With a bang, she directly smashed the table into pieces.

The two others were stunned for a moment. The place instantly quietened down.

She took a deep breath, cleansed herself from the irritable thoughts of wanting to kill people, and earnestly said. "Why don't we settle down and talk things out?"

The corner of the man's lips twitched, as if he wanted to say something. "Wife…"

"Shut up!"

"Ou." He immediately knelt back down.

Zhu Yao was feeling a slight headache, as she took a deep breath. "First of all, I don't know you, and neither have I met you before. So, I can't possibly be your wife. Secondly, I already have a man. That person isn't you. Understand?"

The man was startled, and instantly, his face turned as pale as snow. With a expression of disbelief, he said. "You… You got yourself another man behind my back?"

The little tyrant looked over with a dissatisfied expression as well.

Behind your back, your sister! Don't automatically ignore the first point, hey.

For the first time in her life, Zhu Yao felt communication was such a difficult skill. "Alright, I shall ask in another way. What's the surname of your wife, and what is she called? How did you two know each other?" No matter what, she would not believe that Realmspirit would give her a wedded avatar, otherwise, she was going to spit all over his face.

"Wife, what's wrong? Are you perhaps injured? You have even forgotten your own name?"

"May the counter defendant please directly reply the question!" Do not diverge away from the question!

The man was stunned for a moment, before replying. "Naturally, you're surnamed Zhu…"

Zhu Yao sucked in some air. "What's her name?"

"Yao…"

She felt her vision darken.

The man nodded with certainty. "Zhu Yaoyao!"

Do you know how scary an unfinished sentence can be!?

Zhu Yao heaved a sigh of relief. Thinking back on the dandelion family's naming sense, it was completely normal for her to have a sister with completely identical looks or something, right?

"I'm absolutely certain now that you have mistaken me for someone else."

"That's impossible." He said with a determined look. "Even if I do make mistakes in recognizing some people, I won't ever mistake you for someone else. Your entrancing creases and slightly hunchbacked figure makes up the one and only beauty in this world."

Creases! Hunchback!

Old Woman Zhu Yao – was stabbed twice!

"I must thank you, really!" She had only heard of pedophilia. This time, she had actually seen for herself a gerontophile!

"Wife…" He looked like he was about to burst into tears. "What's wrong? I'm your beloved husband, Qu Qu!"

Qu Qu (Cricket). Why not Guo Guo (Grasshopper)?

"I say, Guo Guo!" Zhu Yao stepped forward and patted on the infatuated man's shoulders. "I understand your feelings."

"I'm Qu Qu!"

"It's fine, they're both the same thing."

"Come. Let us talk about life."

Zhu Yao spent three hours explaining in various angles. From science, to technology, and to feelings. She spoke of the trait of the dandelion family, discussed about how a peapod could have several seeds, talked about the genetic traits of twins and of multiple births. She explained that given how huge the world was, there would definitely be a few idiots who would look exactly like him. She had even brought up about the research of the diversity of appearances of elderly as verification. The conclusion she was trying to make was: You mistook me for someone else. I'm a pure young maiden. Don't look at me with eyes that looked as if you're looking at your wife. Go back to where you belong.

And, the conclusion the student Qu Qu gave was, "Impossible. Wife, you must be lying to me."

Zhu Yao: '…"

If not because you looked handsome, I would have bashed you right here and now, do you believe it?

In the end, Zhu Yao had no choice but to bring up about how the Qianqianqianqians looked identical as well. With the little tyrant as witness, his determined expression finally loosened a little.

"You're… really not my wife?"

"Really, really!" Zhu Yao nodded.

He looked as if he had suffered the most painful blow in his lifetime, his entire being was in gloom. Raising his head, he glanced at her old face. "There are actually still other demons who look just as divine as my wife?"

"…" Please stop using the word 'divine', it's already outdated.

With the misunderstanding cleared, Zhu Yao found out that the reason Qu Qu had Little Bai head to Tranquil Valley was all in order to search for his wife. That special thin veil was part of her original form – a transportation tool used by dandelions to float around. It was actually really an umbrella.

She had planned on returning, but the barrier of Tranquil Valley was too strange. When she crossed it back then, she had almost lost her life. If she were to return this time, she wouldn't know what would happen. Suddenly, she realized that she had no home to return to.

"Why don't we do this, dear maiden?" Qu Qu suggested. "Though you are not my wife, you are still greatly related to her. Don't worry, I will take care of you in the future."

"…" Why did she feel even more uncomfortable than before?

Chapter 275: Do You Want to Hitch a Ride?

"Why don't you join our Ness Cesary Sect?" He patted on his chest as he gave a "I will cover for you" look.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, reminding him. "I'm just a dandelion demon!"

"I know!" Qu Qu nodded. "My wife was as well. Such a coincidence."

Coincidence, your sister!

"Aren't practitioners and demons at odds with each other?" Little tyrant even wanted to kill her when they first met. Wouldn't she be courting death if she entered a sect of human practitioners?

"Oh, right!" Qu Qu nodded, as if he had just thought of this problem. Suddenly, he pulled onto her hand and cast an art with a single hand. Then, he brushed his finger about her palm, and said. "Done. It should be fine now."

Zhu Yao lowered her head to take a look, only to see four words neatly written on her palm – 'I am a human'!

Zhu Yao glanced at him with a darkened expression. People will treat me as a human with just a few words on my hand? Are you a joker? If this actually works, I shall take up your surname, alright?

Just as she was about to make a fuss, she suddenly felt the aura all around her body beginning to retract. All the signs of her being a demon had disappeared without a trace in an instant!

(o) It actually works.

"Oh hero!" Zhu Yao grabbed onto his hand, and said with an excited look. "What is that mystical art you just used? Can you teach me? I didn't tell you this earlier, but my grandfather is surnamed Guo- I mean, Qu as well."

This was too mystical. If she were to learn this trick and write the name "Li Gang" on her palm, would everyone call her 'father'!?

"This is Word Enchantment!" Qu Qu replied. "This is not a mystical art. It was a coincidence for me to receive its inheritance as well. Initially, I had planned on passing it on to my wife, but you…"

"Then forget it!" The hell, so it was a body selling contract.

"Senior-martial uncle Qu!" The little tyrant tugged onto Qu Qu's sleeves. "If Sect Master finds out that you have once again taken in a disciple randomly, he will be really angry."

Qu Qu's expression darkened a little. "In any case, he makes a fuss every two to three days, I'm used to it."

"It's not that." The little tyrant shook his head. "I'm referring to the fact that today is the day where we open the gate to the mountains once every ten years. If…"

"You're right!" His eyes shone, as he pulled Zhu Yao and ran outwards.

"Where are we going?"

Before Zhu Yao could even react, she was pulled into a formation. With a white flash of light, she was standing in front of a gigantic white boulder a moment after. Two words could be seen floating about above it – Ness Cessary.

This is the mountain gate of Ness Cesary Sect?

Qu Qu instructed. "My sect has always been pretty strict with taking in disciples, and we are not allowed to privately take in people into the sect. All those who wishes to become a deity and question the Dao must climb up the mountain gate themselves."

"I say…"

"This is a defensive mystic tool. This is a water weakening talisman. This is a fire weakening talisman. This is a light body talisman. And this is a blood supplementing pellet…" He opened up his storage pouch, pulled out a large number of items, and pushed them all into her hands.

"Umm…"

"Good luck. With these, you will definitely be able to reach the mountaintop."

"Actually…"

"Go, I will be waiting for you at the mountaintop~! When that time comes and you choose to become my disciple, no one will dare to bully you."

"I never thought of…"

"Good luck, little sister-in-law!"

Who's your sister-in-law!?

Qu Qu patted her on the back, and she was immediately pushed into that gigantic mountain boulder.

The hell, I never have the thought of joining Ness Cesary Sect, hey! Does the Consumers Association know of your hard sell tactics?

Zhu Yao simply felt her a bright white light flashing in front of her eyes, as her entire being was absorbed into the white light. In a blink of an eye, a different scenery appeared before her.

A large field of grass could be seen in front of her eyes, though there was a large concentration of people as well. Most of them were children of about ten years old. Some were alone, and there were adults as well. With a large pile of items in hand, she appeared so suddenly in front of this large crowd.

In an instant, everyone's eyes swept quickly towards her. Every single one of them looked as if they were watching a conman.

Zhu Yao: …

"The deities are here!" Someone among them shouted, and the crowd was instantly in an uproar as they began to squeeze towards the front.

From afar, two disciples dressed in azure robes flew over from the sky, both of them were of the early-stage Foundation level. They did not land on the ground, instead, they were sweeping their eyes below while standing atop their flying swords. When their eyes landed on Zhu Yao, they evidently paused for a moment, as if they found it strange that such an elderly "talented person" was actually here. Their faces stiffened for a moment, before immediately returning to normal.

They pointed at the two paths at the end of the field of grass, and said in a loud voice. "Those who wish to enter our Ness Cessary Sect have to climb the mountain with their own abilities. Wandering practitioners who already possess cultivation shall take the Path of Clarity on the right, while mortals shall take the Path of Beginning on the left. Those who reach the great hall before sundown will pass."

After finishing his words, they waved their hands. In an instant, two barriers were erected around the two paths – one red and one blue. Most likely, they were used to verify one's cultivation level. The two disciples did not idle any longer, as they turned about and flew off.

The crowd immediately moved, and Zhu Yao was pushed forward by the others. Along the way, she had dropped several talismans and medicinal pellets, and when she regained her senses, she had already been brought before the red barrier on the right. Just as she was about to cross, from the corner of her eye, she spotted a skinny figure on the left.

A strange feeling suddenly arose in the depths of her heart. Had she seen this child from somewhere in the past?

"Fellow daoist, hurry. If you don't enter now, you won't make it in time." Before she could even take a clearer look, a person behind her casually gave her a push, and she fumbled into the barrier. The scenery before her changed again, and she found herself in the depths of a thick forest.

It seemed like the barrier was not simply used to distinguish if one possessed cultivation, but also carried the ability to send participants to a random location.

When she raised her head to take a look, she saw that the floating mountain that was just close-by earlier, was now merely a single spot in the sky.

The hell, how did I get transferred so far away? Being able to reach there before the sky turns dark like this is impossible, right?

She lowered her head to search through the pile of items Qu Qu forcefully pushed onto her, and realized that she had everything, but a transportation tool.

As expected, someone else's man was not reliable at all.

Why not give up then? After all, she had no intentions of joining Ness Cesary Sect in the first place.

"Fellow daoist, do you want to hitch a ride on my flying sword?" A male voice suddenly resounded from the back.

When she turned her head to take a look, she saw a middle-aged male practitioner holding onto a transportation tool in his hand. Filled with smiles, he was presently looking at her… hands which were holding onto a bunch of talismans.

Zhu Yao subconsciously tightened her hands.

"Fellow daoist, do not misunderstand." The male practitioner chuckled. "I simply saw that you have been standing here all alone for quite a while, so I figured that you might not have a flying sword and came here to ask. How about it? Do you want to take a seat on my flying sword? It's only five low-grade spirit stones for a single ride. It's a fair price and fair trade~"

So he was here to do business. "I don't have money."

"Don't worry, using talismans to trade is fine as well." He pointed at the talismans in her hands. "I shall take one talisman per kilometer travelled, how about it?"

"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. That's daylight robbery, isn't it!?

"How about this then? If you don't think it's worth, I shall give you a discount for being an elderly. Five talismans and I will bring you to the foot of the mountain, how about it?" He said while looking as if he was going to make a loss.

The hell was an elderly discount?

"Fellow daoist, let me tell you this. This flying sword of mine is of the second rank. It's consumption is small, but it's speed is phenomenal. It's a great life necessity, and I'm afraid you might become too satisfied with it."

"…" What's with this ridiculous advertisement? "Fine then, then I will have one… Ah pui! Then I will have to trouble you."

"Alright!" The man cast an art, and the flying sword instantly grew larger. He got up onto it first, before signalling Zhu Yao to climb on it as well. He then happily flew in the direction of Ness Cesary Sect. "Oh right. Fellow daoist, you must be preparing to join Ness Cesary Sect as well, right? I have yet to inquire about how I should address you?"

"Yu Yao."

"So it's fellow daoist Yu." He chuckled. "Like you, I'm here to join Ness Cesary Sect as well. In the future, if you have any miscellaneous errands such as running, sweeping or engraving mystic arts, please feel free to call upon this little brother. I promise to arrive as soon as I am called, and I will give you a loyalty member discount. Oh right, I'm called Po Fude."

Profiteer?

"Alright…" He sure lived up to his name.

"Of course, if fellow daoist has anything that you want to see, know or understand, you can ask me as well. This lowly one will definitely know of everything, and I will keep the incident quiet as well. As long as a small amount of spirit stones is paid."

In the end, he's still a profiteer, right? "Are you very knowledgeable about Ness Cesary Sect?"

"But of course. Putting aside the small details, regarding this entrance examination geared towards wandering practitioners, it's split into three portions. The sword flying technique is merely the first segment. There are still two other segments after this."

"What are the other two segments?"

"About that…" He glanced at the talismans in her hands.

Zhu Yao's face darkened. She pulled out a piece and patted it onto his hand. He instantly revealed a sunny smile. "The second segment tests one's mystical arts. Most likely, once we arrive on the mountaintop, there will be a battle to test our abilities to adapt to situations. The third segment is the most simple, and the most mystical test. We merely have to cross the door at the top of the mountain. It's rumoured that the door was left behind by one of the ancestors who created the sect, who have already ascended. An incomparable amount of comprehended Dao is left on that door. Fated ones who can sense even the tiniest bit of the Heavenly Dao on that door might be able to receive a sudden enlightenment, and their cultivation will suddenly rise. It's a great benefit to practitioners."

"In other words, the final test is a welfare pack."

"That's right!" He nodded. "It's said that many disciples from other sects would even come to pay tribute to this famed door as well. However, the number of people who receive sudden enlightenments are but a very small few." He paused for a moment. As if he had suddenly recalled something, he said with a mysterious look. "It's rumoured that the old ancestor has even left behind a riddle. As long as someone is able to guess the answer, that person can receive the cave residence left behind by the old ancestor, along with the various treasures within. However, it's been so many years. There have been people who receive sudden enlightenments, but none has solved that riddle."

There actually existed such a mysterious door. Zhu Yao's curiosity was piqued.

They flew for exactly an hour before arriving at the foot of the mountain. After entering the Great Mountain Barrier Formation, they could no longer fly on the sword and had to walk on foot. Along the way, Profiteer constantly imparted her with various knowledge of Ness Cesary Sect. Naturally, she had to pay for these information. When she regained her senses, the items in her hands had all entered his pockets.

He was like a know-it-all. If not because she had nothing left on her hands to trade with, he most likely could have even revealed the colour of the underwear the sect master was wearing today.

"Seeing how we have such a pleasant cooperation so far, I shall give you another piece of information." He said mysteriously. "Among the Three Peaks and Six Halls of this Ness Cesary Sect, you can join any single one of them, as long as it's not the 'Talisman Spirit Peak'."

"Why?"

"I have heard rumours that the Peak Lord of Talisman Spirit Peak is a little… abnormal." He pointed at his own head, and hinted.

"What is the name of the Peak Lord of Talisman Spirit Peak?"

"I heard that he's surnamed Qu, and bears the name Qu… Qu Qu!"

"…" It seemed like it was already too late for her.

Chapter 276: I Will Eat You~!

Initially, Zhu Yao had thought that she and Profiteer would go their separate ways after arriving at the second test. After all, she was an old woman. Even though she had established her Foundation, generally speaking, her combat ability was not high. However, Profiteer actually suggested to head on together.

The two of them headed up the mountain through a small path, and after a short while, they heard cries for help. "There's people over there!"

They passed through a curve on the path, only to see dozens of living vines suddenly appearing before them, and they were waving their vines in the air. At the center of the vines, there were two practitioners in azure robes presently being trapped, unable to escape from within.

"They're trapped!" Profiteer's eyes shone with faint excitement, and he took a few steps forward.

Zhu Yao thought that he was about to save them, only to see that he had actually stood at a place far enough where the vines could not reach him. Then, he spoke with a loud voice. "Fellow daoists, do you two need some explosive talismans?"

"Save… Save us!" The two of them had been tortured for long enough by the vines. When they spotted the two of them, they began to cry for help.

Profiteer chuckled as he pulled out the talisman he received from Zhu Yao earlier, and said. "One mid-grade spirit stone per piece, and it even includes self-detonation properties!"

"We want them, we want them!" They were not in the state of mind to bargain in the first place, as they hurriedly nodded. "Hurry and release them!"

"Alright~" He circulated his spiritual energy and activated the talisman. In an instant, fiery light charged through the skies, instantly burning away those vines, not leaving a single trace of them.

The two of them were saved, and they bestowed him with countless thanks. They even took the initiative to hand him a mid-grade spirit stone. Profiteer's lips turned crooked from joy. After both parties gave their names, the two of them walked into a teleportation formation, and headed to the mountaintop for passing the test.

Profiteer waited for the two's figure to disappear, before silently pulling out a small red notebook and writing their names on it.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Yao asked.

"Recording them down." He said with a stern look. "In the future, we will be part of the same sect. They might after all become repeat customers."

"…" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. He was even aware of client marketing strategies. This person would definitely become rich one day.

"Alright, let us hurry to the mountaintop as well." Profiteer finished noting down the details and kept the notebook. Just as he was about to follow after the two and enter the teleportation formation, Zhu Yao pulled him back.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao pointed at the formation and said. "That's a single-use teleportation formation. If you enter it now, not only will you not be able to reach the mountaintop, you will activate the vine formation from earlier as well."

"You know about formations!" Profiteer's eyes suddenly widened, his face was filled with shock.

"I know… a little."

He said with an excited look. "Then do you know how to dispel this type of formation?"

Zhu Yao nodded. Vine formations were not really incredible formations in the first place, so dispelling one was really easy.

"Daoist Yu!" Profiteer suddenly held onto her hands, his eyes looked as if he was looking at spirit stones. "Why don't we become friends?"

"Look at it this way. There are many participants this time around, so there will definitely be a large number of people who would fall into danger and be unable to escape free. Don't you think we can provide them with a little support?" He said with a sincere look.

Zhu Yao's face darkened. "For free?"

His expression stiffened. "Hoho… Daoist Yu, you sure know how to crack jokes."

She knew it. He was treating her as a tool to strike riches.

"How about this then? We shall split between thirty and seventy percent." He gritted his teeth. "You take the thirty percent, while I take seventy. How about it?"

"I take seventy, you take thirty." She was one who would be doing all the work, why did she have to take the smaller portion!?

He gnashed his teeth again. "Forty and sixty?"

Zhu Yao turned around and took a step forward.

"Fifty-fifty. Fifty-fifty should be enough now, right?" Profiteer shouted anxiously. "Let's both take a step back. Not to mention my cultivation is a little higher than yours, so my senses are stronger than yours. I will be the one searching for customers, how about it?"

Zhu Yao's feet stopped. "Fine, let's do it."

Thus, Profiteer began to search through the entire mountain for people who were experiencing difficulties. He took the opportunities when they were facing danger to reach out his friendly fee-collecting hands and save them from crises.

He was in-charge of negotiating the prices, while Zhu Yao was in-charge of dispelling the formations.

Never did they expect that business would be this lively. In but four hours, they had made a clean total of twenty mid-grade spirit stones. The names of the customers filled up two pages of Profiteer's customer notebook.

Profiteer painfully pulled out ten mid-grade spirit stones and handed them to her. "This is your payment. Out of our friendship, I shall give you a storage pouch as well, and it will be for free. In the future, once we enter the sect, remember to keep in touch regularly! If there's ever such a good business opportunity again, I will call you."

Zhu Yao received her first wages. As a former tycoon, her feelings were a little complicated. "Are we not going to continue?"

"It's getting dark." He pointed to the sky and said. "We were so busy helping others dispel their formations, we had yet to complete our own tests. Though making money is important, we still have to first enter the sect in order to have a much brighter future, right?"

A brighter money-making future, you mean!

Zhu Yao nodded. She was so happy making money that she had almost forgotten they were here to take an entrance examination.

Only then did the two of them begin to head for the mountaintop. Probably because he was too confident with her formation dispelling abilities, Profiteer did not feel any sense of danger at all. Along the way, they discussed about various methods on how to strike riches after entering the sect. Suddenly, a low beastly growl could be head from the front.

Profiteer's body stiffened, and his expression instantly turned deathly pale. "Damn it, we are so unlucky."

"What is it?" Zhu Yao could see that he was growing tensed as well.

"It's a demonic beast. I have long heard that the second test of Ness Cesary Sect would sometimes involve high-ranked demonic beasts. Never did I expect that we would meet one." Profiteer pulled open his storage pouch, took out the talismans and medicinal pellets he earned from her earlier, and passed her half of them. "Hold them! These can be used to save your life later."

"Uh… Most likely…" She wouldn't have to use them.

"Stop being stubborn. Once we encounter it, do not hesitate, and run! It's just an entrance examination, there's no need to risk our lives.' He instructed with a stern expression, before running off wildly in the opposite direction. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he turned back and said. "Oh right, we will settle the price for those items later!"

"…" So she still had to pay him for these, hey.

The roars grew closer, and Profiteer's expression grew even more tensed as well, as he stuck an earth-type defensive talisman on his body. Then, a gust of wind could be heard from behind them, and he hurriedly pushed Zhu Yao to the side. "Move! Split up!"

With a bang, a gigantic demonic beast appeared before their eyes. Its body was shaped like a lion, and it was covered in white fur. Its four claws were similar to an eagle's, and on its back was a pair of wings. The moment its wings flapped, a wild gust of wind would blow. Before it even landed on the ground, it roared wildly at Profiteer and slashed its claw at him.

An earth wall instantly erected in front of Profiteer's body, but neither it could block the demonic beast's claw and was instantly shattered. It was actually a fifth rank Winged Windbeast, which was comparable to the Azoth Core cultivation level. How were they going to fight it? Profiteer was greatly shaken, as he took the opportunity to retreat several dozens of meters away. He summoned his flying sword and planned on fleeing for his life. Unexpectedly, he turned to glance at his former business partner, only to see her still standing dumbfoundedly at the same spot.

Also, for some reason, he shouted out. "Hurry and run!"

During this half a second worth of hesitation, the Winged Windbeast had already reacted and charged towards him who was already in the sky, roaring out loud. Profiteer simply felt his head spinning, as he fell straight down from mid-air. Just as he was about to be slashed to death by the demonic beast…

A wall of fire instantly erected before him, blocking the Winged Windbeast. Profiteer raised his head to take a look, only to see Zhu Yao holding onto a defensive fire talisman. She saved him!

A bundle of complicated feelings rose in his heart, as he reminded. "It's a fifth rank demonic beast!"

The Winged Windbeast noticed Zhu Yao on the side as well, as it turned its head back to look at her. Its eyes instantly widened into circles. Turning its body around, it then sprinted wildly towards Zhu Yao.

She's done for! Profiteer's heart sank.

Just as that demonic beast was about to pounce on her and open it wide mouth, he closed his eyes, not daring to watch the scene. However, a sound reverberated in his ears.

"Meow~~~" It was so sweet and tender, it even carried some playfulness behind it.

Eh!?

Po Fude carefully opened his eyes, only to see the most shocking scene he had ever witnessed in his entire cultivation life. The imposing fifth rank Winged Windbeast which carried a menacing aura earlier, was presently laying in front of his former business partner. It playfully rolled about, flipping its white belly happily. As it rolled about, large number of trees at the side came crashing down.

And that elderly called Yu Yao, was presently standing at the side with an indifferent look, watching that beast being playful.

Mn, she was already used to it!

A young and tender voice resounded next to her ears. "Stroke fur fur… Stroke fur fur… Stroke fur fur… Me wants my fur fur stroked!"

As it spoke, it rolled even more joyfully than before, circling around her while doing Thomas Flares. It rolled back… and it rolled forth! The trees that it brought down were quickly shaping into crop circles. It shouted out its catchphrase resoundingly, as if it was following a beat.

"Stroke fur fur, stroke fur fur… stroke fur fur, stroke fur fur…"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She wondered if every single one of her plant-type avatars carried an automatic translation function for the various races, as she was still capable of understanding the demonic beast's words.

The Winged Windbeast rolled about for a long while. Seeing that she was completely ignoring it, its glass heart shattered resoundingly into pieces.

Its pair of eyes curled, and tears began to well up. Even its voice had begun to sink a little. "Wuu… You don't like my fur fur… I'm so sad. I don't want my fur fur anymore… I'm going to burn it away!" After saying that, it really got up, and seemed to be rushing towards the fire wall by the Profiteer's side.

"Come back here!" The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She sighed as she reached out her hand to stroke the gigantic beast head.

The Winged Windbeast was instantly satisfied, as it rubbed against her palm while closing its eyes, calling out in a pampered manner. "Meow~~"

Po Fude instantly felt uncomfortable all around his body. He had never seen a demonic beast that had such a lack of dignity. Even if one was taken in as a spiritual beast, he had never seen one that was such obedient towards its master.

He felt a little dumb for getting worked up. After casting an art to extinguish the wall of fire, he walked towards Zhu Yao. "Daoist Y… Senior Yu, you are knowledgeable about… the art of taming beasts?"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. No, she had merely forgotten to turned off the World Favourable Impression from her past-past life.

"A… A little!"

Just by knowing a little, she was able to subdue a fifth rank demonic beast! Then, if she were to master it, then she would definitely be incredible. Po Fude secretly decided that he definitely had to keep a good relationship with her no matter what. "I have heard rumours that demonic beasts are very hard to train. If senior has free time in the future, do you mind training a spiritual beast for me? Naturally, I will pay for your services."

"Uh… We can talk about it in the future!" She really did not know about it.

With an envious expression, Po Fude looked at the obedient Winged Windbeast in front of his eyes. The fear he had earlier was instantly swept away, and he could not help but want to stroke it.

The Winged Windbeast however suddenly turned around and let out a loud roar towards him. While it was doing so, it did not forget to spit a mouth of saliva on his face.

"If you dare to touch, I will eat you~!" It fiercely glared at him before turning back to face Zhu Yao. Its attitude instantly changed. "Meow~~ Stroke again, stroke my fur fur…"

Po Fude: …

Zhu Yao: …

Chapter 277: He Must Have Been Really Rich

"Ahem… Umm, this beastie!" Zhu Yao's hand was getting a little numb from the stroking, as she asked seriously. "We want to head up to the mountaintop, do you know the way?" Earlier, she was pulled along by Profiteer as they ran, and they had already lost their direction.

"I do, meow~" The Winged Windbeast turned around and stood in front of her. While it moved, it used its buttocks to squeeze the Profiteer away. Then, it slowly knelt down, hinting her to sit on its back. "Beastie will bring you there, meow~"

"Thank you." Looking at the colour of the sky, it would indeed be too late if they were to walk up now. Zhu Yao climbed onto its back, and just as she was about to pull Profiteer up as well…

The Winged Windbeast kicked him away, and let out a threatening growl.

Zhu Yao had no choice but to spend some time to change the beastie's mind. Only then did the Winged Windbeast unwillingly carried Profiteer with its claws, and with a flap of its wings, it flew towards the mountaintop.

Most likely because they came a little too late, they were the only ones there when they reached the mountaintop. Fortunately, the teleportation formation had yet to close.

Zhu Yao bade goodbye to the Winged Windbeast before heading into the teleportation formation with Profiteer, teleporting to the main hall in the floating mountain above them.

The Winged Windbeast stood at its original spot depressingly, as it looked at the floating mountain above it. It began to think about its life as a gatekeeping beast. Mn, it seemed like it could be understood even if it took an occasional absence.

Zhu Yao was instantly teleported onto a platform. All of the successful participants had all gathered here, no matter if they were wandering practitioners or mortal children. With a glance, there were actually more than a hundred people. It seemed like Ness Cesary Sect's range of enrolment was pretty broad!

When they arrived, the disciples coming to lead the participants had just arrived as well. Expectedly, they were the two Foundation disciples at the foot of the mountain earlier.

Though, compared to the coldness they had earlier, they were presently filled with more zeal.

"Congratulations. From this day forth, you are all disciples of our Ness Cesary Sect. As long as you cross the Trueheart Door, you will be considered to have officially joined our sect." He exchanged glances with the disciple next to him, and then waved his hand. In an instant, several hundreds of white jade tablets flew to the various participants. "These are Barrier Breaking Stones. Engraved inside are a few elementary grade heart techniques. When crossing the Trueheart Door later on, you will all enter an illusion. The illusion is birthed from your heart and cannot be controlled. If you can break through it, you will receive an enlightenment and henceforth use these heart techniques to raise your cultivation. If you do not have the strength to break through, do not forcefully break your way through, as you can use the Barrier Breaking Stone to leave the illusion."

The crowd of people grasped onto the jade tablet tightly. The wandering practitioners seemed to have all heard about the Trueheart Door, as every single one of their faces carried a little excitement. The children who have yet to cultivate however, all had blank looks on their faces.

"Fellow junior-martial brothers and sisters, head on to take the final test then!" That person cast an art, and right after, the heavy fog behind him began to scatter. An ancient and majestic arched stone door appeared before their eyes. The crowd headed towards the stone door, and everything in their surroundings began to turn a little blurry.

Zhu Yao raised her head, wanting to discern the few words that were written above the arched door. But no how she looked at it, she was unable to clearly see it.

Just as she was about to ask Profiteer next to her, with a 'poomf' sound, he fell straight onto the ground.

"Profiteer!" She was shocked. An even weirder scene appeared. The squeezy crowd earlier, like bowling pins that were struck down, began to fall onto the ground one after another. Finally, she was the only remaining person standing. What was this situation!?

Zhu Yao hurriedly checked Profiteer's pulse, only to realize that there was no abnormalities with his body. Rather… he seemed to be asleep?

Could it be because of the door's influence?

She looked at the door in front of her seriously, only to realize that the dense fog that rose earlier was beginning to scatter. A gigantic figure faintly appeared behind the door, and the figure began to grow clearer, clearer, and finally…

"Meow~~"

"Beastie!" Wasn't this that Winged Windbeast earlier? When did it come up as well?

"What's going on?" A slightly furious voice resounded from the other side of the door. "Why is the Winged Windbeast which is supposed to protect the mountain here?"

"Sect Master, this… this disciple has no idea either."

"Ridiculous! Hurry and bring it back down."

Suddenly, five pillars of light appeared around the Winged Windbeast's body, trapping it within. The Winged Windbeast began to struggle furiously.

Its furious roar pierced through the clouds. "Roooar… This beastie doesn't want to go… This beastie wants its fur fur stroked… Roar…"

Unfortunately, it was of no use.

The boundary of the pillars of light began to grow smaller, finally turning it into a ray of light which flew into a person's spiritual beast pouch.

Only then did Zhu Yao have a clear view. Behind the door sat a row of people. Looking at their demeanours, they seemed to be the higher-ups of Ness Cesary Sect, and Qu Qu was sitting at the top, looking at her with a dumbfounded look.

"Eh? There's actually someone who gave up so quickly and got out of the illusion." The middle-aged man sitting at the very center frowned, sighing. "Haah, yout- elderly these days!" He sized up Zhu Yao for a moment, and immediately changed his words.

Zhu Yao: "…"

"Nevermind!" He said with a wave of his hand. "Since she's already up here, then she's considered a disciple of our sect. Stand at the side!"

Qu Qu winked at her, and then stood up. "Senior-martial brother Sect Master, I wish to take her in…"

"Nonsense!" That man turned around and glared at him with an exasperated look. "As the lord of a Peak, how can you take in… such an elderly person as a disciple?"

"I don't care, I want to take her in no matter what." Qu Qu said shamelessly.

The corner of Sect Master Qu Jiang's lips twitched, as he wished that he could open up his junior-martial brother's brain and check if water had actually entered it. "Junior-martial brother, I can put aside your past nonsense, but taking in a disciple is a huge matter. Putting aside the fact that his person's lifespan is diminishing, just from her activating the Barrier Breaking Stone in less than fifteen minutes after crossing the Trueheart Door…" His words paused again, as he stared dumbfoundedly at the completely undamaged Barrier Breaking Stone in Zhu Yao's hand. He suddenly jolted to his feet. "Y-You… You didn't use the Barrier Breaking Stone?"

Zhu Yao lowered her head and glanced at the rock in her hand. "You're talking about this?" How do I use it?

With a twist of his palm, Qu Jiang had the Barrier Breaking Stone fly into his hand. He repeatedly checked it, and the longer he looked at it, the more shocked he became. This was impossible! No one had ever passed through the illusion so quickly. Just how long had it been? It had barely been three minutes, right!?

"You… How did you get across the illusion?"

"Illusion?" Zhu Yao was stunned for a moment. What's that? Was there such a setting?

"This lord is asking you, how did you get here?"

"I walked in, of course!"

"…" Qu Jiang was speechless. Could it be that his eyes were mistaken, and that this person actually had extraordinary aptitude? Because of her pure heart and soul, she was able to cross the Trueheart Door so quickly? Unfortunately, she had started her cultivation path a little late.

She was too old!

"Senior-martial brother…" Qu Qu hurriedly squeezed in again.

"Fine then." The Sect Master found a reasonable explanation, and was no longer as opposed as before. A miracle might actually happen as well? "If you want to take her in, do it then. However, she must not become your personal succeeding disciple."

"Thank you, senior-martial brother. You sure are a good person." Qu Qu gave his senior-martial brother the good person card. Facing Zhu Yao, he waved his hands at her and gave her a 'you should know what to do' expression. Little sister-in-law, come over here quickly.

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. If she were to reject his invitation, she wouldn't be bashed to death, right?

"Wait a minute." The awe-inspiring senior-martial brother added. "Since she's the first to get across the illusionary realm of the Trueheart Door, then she naturally has the privilege to solve the riddle. You…" He was stuck for words.

"I'm Zhu Yao."

"Mn, Zhu Yao… On the right of the Trueheart Door, there's a riddle. You can try solving it." He continued. "It's fine if you can't solve it."

Zhu Yao nodded. It should be the riddle Profiteer was talking about, right? Solving riddles or whatever really isn't my specialty, but I will just see it.

Turning around, she looked at the door, and realized there were indeed words written on the door frame.

The first line wrote: Cheng Qingdiao

The second line wrote: Hell dragon's lake, filled with gold.

The third line wrote: You who seek bitterness, in the middle of the sky.

The fourth line wrote: Beach of jade, overflowing with sadness.

The fifth line wrote: Good time to look back, but ever late.

The sixth line wrote: By eyes, unseen.

The last line wrote the name of the author: Daoist Wangshang, was here!

Ah, so it was Classical Chinese. As a Science student who did not take learning language classes seriously, she hated Classical Chinese to the very core. She was already very used to the various mathematical quizzes, and were also used to logical thinking. Something as sophistical as this was truly…

Eh, wait a minute! Speaking about logic… Why did the first word of every line look so familiar? If she were to link them all up…

She could not help but recite them.

"Cheng Qingdiao, hell, you bitch, goodbye!"

The hell, aren't these just vulgarities?

When her voice fell, the entire stone door suddenly emitted out a blinding white light, instantly brightening up the horizon that had long turned dark. The words on the doorframe gradually faded as well, and what remained eres the first and fourth line. Finally, all of them disappeared!

"The riddle, was solved…" The Sect Master and his little companions were all dumbfounded, as they stood up one after another and looked at Zhu Yao with disbelieving eyes.

"Uh… This is an accident!" Please forgive this mathematical puppy's logical OCD.

"Sect Master, hurry and look at the lake at the front mountain…" Someone shouted.

Everyone turned to look at the huge lake next to Ness Cesary Sect. The lake water looked as if it was boiling, as it began to surge wildly. An earthquake immediately followed after, and even the entire sect began to shake.

Zhu Yao instinctively grabbed onto the door frame next to her to prevent herself from falling.

The lake water surged even more incredibly than before, and it began to split towards the two sides. Something seemed to be rising from the center of the lake. Before its outline could be seen, an eye-piercing golden light shone, and its radiance grew even larger.

"It's Skybond Peak!" Someone excitedly said. "The ascended ancestor's Skybond Peak has surfaced!"

Zhu Yao squinted her eyes with all her might, before being able to see a golden palace rising from within the lake waters. In the beginning, it was just a corner. As it rose, she realized that it was a gigantic floating mountain. The size of its territory was seemingly close to the Main Peak she was present at. A palace that could not be described with just 'luxurious' took up the entirety of its mountaintop, revealing right before everyone's eyes.

The owner of this mountain must have been really rich.

Zhu Yao secretly thought.

The mountain rose even higher, and had even surpassed the highest Main Peak. It went several thousand meters above it, before stopping in mid-air. The entire palace was like a lighthouse fervently making its presence known in the dark night sky.

What's missing now were the few words: This old man has all the money, come rob me if you can.

Everyone presently on-site all had the same, dumbfounded look: (_)

Chapter 278: I Will Never Forgive That Person

"Sect Master…" Everyone carried stunned and excited eyes, as they looked at the person-in-charge.

Qu Jiang frowned, and said with a wave of his hand. "Let's first go take a look." He summoned his flying sword, and as if he had suddenly recalled something, he turned to look at Zhu Yao. "Umm… Fellow elder, come with us."

Everyone's eyes then focused on Zhu Yao one after another.

Fellow elder Zhu Yao: "…"

With a wave of his hand, the Sect Master had Zhu Yao fly towards him and stop above his flying sword.

"Sect Master, about those new disciples who have yet to wake up…" Someone asked.

"Who cares about what disciples right now!?" He said with a wave of his sleeves. "We can talk about it tomorrow."

Thus, bringing along the various higher-ups, they flew towards the mountain that had been unsealed earlier – the Skybond Peak!

In a blink of an eye, several higher-ups plus one elderly had already arrived in front of the brilliant and luxurious palace above Skybond Peak. Strangely, though the mountain had risen from the waters, there was not even a single droplet of water on it. It was clear and clean, not to mention the spiritual energy here was exceptionally abundant.

The palace's huge door was tightly shut, and a golden formation was presently circulating on the door. Countless complicated runes were flowing within, and even though they were quite a bit distance away from it, they could sense the incomparable pressure from the formation. They could faintly sense slight stuffiness in their hearts.

"Senior-martial brother, about this…" The crowd looked at that formation with a slight loss.

Qu Jiang frowned. He turned to look at his unreliable junior-martial brother Qu Qu. "Junior-martial brother Qu, you have always been proficient at formations and talismans, are you able to find out what kind of formation this actually is?"

Qu Qu sized up the formation placed on the door. After inspecting it for a long while, he said. "Five Speech Chaotic Element Formation. It's an ancient formation. It can be said to be easy to enter it, but it can be difficult as well."

"What do you mean?" Qu Jiang frowned.

"To be precise, a correct password is needed." Qu Qu continued. "Only the person, whom this formation acknowledges, speaks the correct password, can one enter it. Furthermore, this formation cannot be dispelled. If someone dares to forcefully break into it, those who have weaker cultivation levels than the person who crafted this formation will definitely have their divine senses injured by the formation. If there is someone who possesses a higher cultivation level than the one who crafted this formation, then the formation will immediately activate and destroy the entire Skybond Peak."

Everyone exchanged glances. There's a need for a password to enter it, but the palace had been buried for over several hundreds of thousands of years. How could there be anyone who would still know of it…?

If there really was one, then… Everyone was stunned for a moment. As if they had all just recalled something, they turned to look at Zhu Yao.

What are you guys looking at me for? I don't know the password either, hey.

"This fellow…" The Sect Master stepped forward, his attitude was more respectful than before. With his fists cupped, he approached Zhu Yao. However, he seemed to have forgotten her name again, and was stuck for words once more.

"Zhu Yao! She's called Zhu Yao." Qu Qu leapt up with proud look, and excitedly said. "She's my little sister-in-law!"

"…" Sister-in-law, your sister!

"The riddle of Skybond Peak was solved by her, so she definitely knows of the password to open the door." Everyone's eye were instantly shining with snowy-white light. Qu Qu winked at her, and said with a confident look. "Right, little sister-in-law?"

Zhu Yao wanted to kick him in the knee!

Right, your sister! How the hell would she know!? Only a ghost would know the password to the door!

"Fellow daoist Zhu." The Sect Master finally found a suitable way to address her. "You can just give it a try."

Was she allowed to refuse?

She glanced at the surrounding pairs of shining, large eyes. If she were to refuse, she would be bashed to death, right?

Zhu Yao had no choice but to bite the bullet and stepped forward, glancing at the formation. Password, password… Could it be…

"Open sesame?"

No reaction.

Alright, as expected, she was too naive. There could only be that one beastie who was called Sesame in this world. Taking a deep breath, she continued with several tries.

"Alibaba?"

"Taobao?"

"Jack Ma?"

"Ma Huateng?"

Orz

I did my best.

The crowd's excited expressions instantly turned chilly.

Qu Jiang pondered for a moment, before suggesting. "Fellow daoist Zhu, why don't you use that incantation which you used to solve the riddle earlier?"

Earlier?

Zhu Yao made a face. Are you forcing me to speak vulgarities? You are the principal of Ness Cesary Institution, is this really alright when there's students in front of you?

Left without a choice, she took in a deep breath and said with a huge puff. "Cheng Qingdiao, hell, you bitch, goodbye!"

She roared out a total of three times!

The formation on the door still did not react in the slightest. The crowd's faces were already dyed with despair.

Zhu Yao suddenly recalled the moment when this tycoon's mountain rose, the words that disappeared last on Trueheart Door.

Could a simplified version of the incantation be needed? The two rows of words that disappeared last were…

"Cheng Qingdiao, bitch?"

When her words fell, a ray of golden light instantly shot out of the formation, shining right onto her arm. Zhu Yao simply felt her hand growing warmer. When she rolled up her collar, she saw that there was an additional umbrella-shaped diagram on her neck, and it was faintly flashing with golden brilliance.

Before she could even retort, the luxurious door was opened after a rumble.

The hell, that sentence earlier was actually the password. Just how much hatred and resentment did the owner of this palace have towards Cheng Qingdiao?

That door was not completely opened, and had instead only opened a slit big enough for a single person to go through. In the next moment, the formation shone with a golden light once again, and Zhu Yao simply felt her body becoming light. With a flash of white light, her entire being disappeared from her original position, and the door closed with a bang.

What's left were the dumbfounded faces of the crowd.

When Zhu Yao regained her senses, she was already standing at the center of a large hall.

The large hall was extremely extravagant. The floor tiles themselves were carved with white spirit stones, while the surrounding stone pillars were also made of artifact refining materials. Even the curtains were also made of… auntie pads!

No, that's not right. They were the material her master used to make her auntie pads – Rawsilk Yarn.

Zhu Yao suddenly felt that it was impossible for her to look at these Rawsilk Yarn directly again.

She carefully walked forward, when suddenly, a translucent image appeared in the air above the center of the large hall she was standing on earlier. It was the image of a youthful, handsome man with a stern look on his face. Zhu Yao guessed that he should be the owner of this mountain.

However, that was merely an image which did not have a physical body. This should have been something the man left behind before his ascension.

As expected, a heavy male voice resounded in the hall the next moment.

"I, Daoist Wang Shang, had seeked the Dao for several millennium, and have finally managed to have a slight peek at the Heavenly Dao, achieving the peak of cultivation. I have especially left behind this hall in this world for the one fated person, and to provide benefits to the descendents of Ness Cesary. This hall contains the techniques that this one has practiced throughout his life, three thousand mystical arts, medicinal pellets…"

Following after was a large chunk of description regarding the territory of Skybond Peak and its various goods. Zhu Yao felt a little sleepy as she listened. In summary, this person called Daoist Wang Shang was a rich tycoon in his life, and had gathered various strange mystical treasures in the world. After that, he ascended and had no use for these items anymore, so he stored them here. Then, he was afraid that others would steal them, so he sealed them up and waited for a fated person to pass them onto.

He hoped that the descendant would put them to good use, and stuffs like that.

Up till this point, Zhu Yao felt that he was really normal. Because, in usual scenarios, powerful practitioners would all do the same thing.

Just as she thought that it would be the same old scenario as in all cultivation stories and would no longer have anything new to take note of, the man in the projection suddenly had a change in tone. His tone began to be filled with immense fury.

"One who entered this hall, you must remember one single matter. You must not form good relationships with the people of Protective Wind Clan. The moment a person of this clan is sighted, that person must be exterminated at all costs. Recalling the several millennium I, Wang Shang, has cultivated for, I have crossed through the entire cultivation world, and have only once been hoodwinked by Cheng Qingdiao, Clan Master of Protective Wind. This person was treacherous, cunning, less than a dog…"

Eh, wasn't Cheng Qindiao the name of the person in the password? What drama! Zhu Yao's eyes shone, as her gossipping mode instantly activated.

"Back then, we met each other when I possessed Azoth Core cultivation. Seeing that person's gentle and frail personality, feelings of pity instantly welled in my heart. I protected that person for several thousand years, my heart was solely that person's, and never did my heart have a slight moment of waver. No matter if that person encountered dangers in a secret realm, no matter how much difficulties that person experienced during cultivation, and no matter how much that person was troubled by heretic practitioners, I would jump into the fire and dive into the ocean depths to protect that person, afraid that that person would be bullied or be wronged in the slightest."

Yo, so it was a love story. It seemed like this Cheng Qingdiao girly betrayed him in the end.

"For that person, I was willing to reject my childhood friend and junior-martial sister, be abandoned by my master, all in order to be with that person. I wandered outside for a total of two hundred years, forbidden to return to the sect, but I had never harboured any resentment. Furthermore, in order to be together with that person openly, I had almost birthed to an inner demon."

It seemed like he was the infatuated type too.

"Risking my life, I successfully nourished my Nascent Soul, and only then did I receive my master's forgiveness and return to the sect. In order to make that person happy, I had even gathered various mystic artifacts and medicinal pellets, all for the sake of seeing that person's smile. I protected that person without any single moment of betrayal. And because of that person's single word, I had even taken in a disciple which I had never done so till then, nor had I ever have a successor."

The man's voice grew even more bitter.

"And because that person did not like people knowing the relationship between the two of us, we had always hidden it from the masses. With all my effort, I cultivated into a Demigod, and with my status as a Demigod Sovereign, I proposed to that person with all my sincerity…"

Zhu Yao's heart sank, faintly sensing how it all ended up. He must have been rejected, right? And then love became hate or something?

As expected, Daoist Wang Shang's voice grew louder, to the point where he seemed to be shouting.

"I had thought that the reason that person did not want others to know about our relationship, was because that person was afraid of pulling me down. Never did I expect that when I joyfully headed over to propose and had even stripped down my pants, that person actually told me, he was a man! Momma's egg, he was actually a man!"

"Uh…"

"Hell, can you understand my pain? The person I was infatuated with for several thousand years, was actually a motherf*king man! Can any single one of you understand my broken heart? Where's the most basic trust between humans? I felt like I was played like a fool by the entire world. Cheng Qingdiao, you're a motherf*king bitch. I will never ever forgive you in my entire life, and even I'm left with nothing but ashes, I will still curse you. Slut, bitch, bastard… (Please insert three thousand vulgarities below)"

Zhu Yao was dumbfounded as she listened to his raging curses. He had basically turned into a Spartan.

Now that she knew what happened… The vulgarities-filled incantation that he crafted was completely understandable now.

Zhu Yao listened to that image curse for two hours, and during the two hours, there was actually not a single repeated phrase. Even Zhu Yao was beginning to sigh in awe at how well his language skills were! It was no wonder the answer to the riddle at the door was so fresh and refined.

That image seemed to have finally felt relieved after all that cursing. That otherworldly dignified demeanour he had earlier had long disappeared from existence, and what's left was the image of a handsome man with his hands on his waist, gasping for air. Not even bothering about the impression of himself, he waved his hand in the air and said. "Wait a minute, let me catch my breath."

Zhu Yao: "…"

Chapter 279: Please Study Well

Wang Shang's tone had even lost that poetic sense it had, as he said with in a rather friendly manner. "In any case, it was such a ridiculous matter. That person has already been exterminated by me, but I just can't keep these thoughts bottled up at all. So, right before my ascension, I set this up all in order to have that bitch's name rot for tens of thousands of years. Though I'm unable to see it for myself, just the thought of it makes me feel refreshed. In any case, the person who can understand that incantation of mine and open this door is definitely not any ordinary person. At the very least, you should be the same type of person as the one who taught me these unique words and phrases years ago. Let's leave it at this then, you can do whatever you want with the palace."

After saying that, the image flashed, disappearing without a trace.

However, Zhu Yao's heart shivered at his final words. Since the beginning where she first saw the riddle on Trueheart Door, she had felt that something was amiss. She finally found out why. Those vulgarities, were too modern! How did someone who had ascended tens of thousands of years ago know about them? Also, from what he said, those phrases seemed to have been taught to him by someone else, and it was something no one else knew about.

Then, who was the person who taught him? Could it be someone like her, who had transmigrated into this world?

Zhu Yao exited the large hall and looked around. She realized the tycoon's palace was huge beyond comparison, and would have believed it to be an entire sect itself. The various mystic arts and techniques kept within were very complete, and there were even specialized medicine storage facilities, artifact refining rooms and talisman refining rooms. The place was filled with various items that could stir the greed of practitioners.

As someone who had once lived her life in the Divine Realm, Zhu Yao was not really interested in them. After all, she was someone who had seen better things, so these things could not enter her eyes at all.

She casually picked up a bottle of seventh rank medicinal pellets and an eighth rank artifact, and realized that a unique formation was engraved on the medicine bottle and artifact. When she realized what the formation was, the corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, and her face darkened.

She suddenly understood what that Daoist Wang Shang meant by having Cheng Qingdiao's name rot for tens of thousands of years in his final words.

This Daoist Wang Shang… sure had a very good idea.

I really want to give him thirty-two thumbs-up.

Zhu Yao sighed and shook her head. She then turned around and headed outside. It was time to leave and report to the crickets.

Just as she opened the huge door, the dozens of higher-ups that had been waiting outside for a long while bowed towards her in unison.

"These disciples greet senior-martial aunt!"

"…" What was this situation? Zhu Yao's feet froze, shocked. Her eyes darted to the only person she was familiar with – Qu Qu. Explain, my dear friend!

Qu Qu turned to look at the side. He seemed to look displeased.

"Senior-martial aunt." Principal Qu Jiang stepped forward and began to explain. "Ancestor Wang Shang left behind an order before his ascension. The person who is able to enter this palace shall be named as his successor, and the items in the palace will become part of his or her possessions. You are presently the disciple of Ancestor Wang Shang, so it's a must for us to refer to you as senior-martial aunt."

Can I reject this? I already have a master of my own.

"Sect Master, you are too polite." Zhu Yao chuckled. She, who merely possessed Foundation cultivation level, was being referred to as senior-martial aunt by a bunch of Nascent Soul practitioners. If this wasn't courting death, what was? This was not Ancient Hill Sect and her invincible master was not by her side either. "I am but a mere Foundation practitioner, how can I possibly take on such a high position?"

"Senior-martial aunt Zhu, this is an order by our ancestor, and as descendants, we do not dare to forget." He said with a determined look.

At the rate this was going, it was like a duck was being chased onto the chopping board. "Sect Master, it is merely a coincidence for me to have entered the palace, and I do not dare to take the things within for my own personal greed, let alone being your senior-martial aunt. This palace belongs to Ness Cesary Sect in the first place, and I shall now hand it over to Sect Master." After saying as such, she had even pushed onto him the artifact and medicinal pellets which she took earlier.

Qu Jiang was stunned, as if he could not believe that she would so easily hand over such a humongous treasure chest. Furthermore, she really had the intentions of slipping away right after. His heart was filled with both worry and joy.

"Senior-martial aunt, please wait!" Qu Jiang walked over and sighed. With a suppressed voice, he said. "Senior-martial aunt, to tell you the truth, no one other than you is able to enter this palace. The door will only recognize the first person who gives the password."

"…" So the reason why they were calling her senior-martial aunt, was all in order for her to become their porter. "Then give me a few storage pouches, I shall bring out all the items inside for you. Is that good enough?"

Qu Jiang's eyes shone for a moment, but they dimmed again immediately after. "That can't do. If Ness Cesary Sect suddenly receives that many treasures, it will definitely become a target of greed. Keeping the treasures within the palace is the safest option."

So I have to help you look after the treasures as well, is that it?

"I humbly request that senior-martial aunt take the long-term situation into account, and look after our Ness Cesary Sect."

"I am merely at the Foundation cultivation level." This one here was but a newcomer, is it really alright to have her carry such a heavy responsibility? Furthermore, she still had to look for the bug, and had no time to look after the treasures here.

"Senior-martial aunt, please be at ease. As long as you are willing to stay here, our Ness Cesary Sect will deploy all its manpower to ensure senior-martial aunt's safety."

Zhu Yao pondered for a moment. The news of her solving the riddle and entering Skybond Peak today would definitely be spread through the entire cultivation world before long. Though there were indeed countless treasures in the palace, they were not enough to cover for her terribly weak cultivation level. She indeed needed some backing. Qu Jiang's suggestion earlier was great, and she merely hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head.

Thus, after Ancient Hill Sect, she had once again become the senior-martial aunt of a Sect Master.

The only difference here was, the past senior-martial aunt was extremely justified, while the present senior-martial aunt was but a mere watchdog, a watch-aunt!

Qu Jiang joyfully bowed in front of her, and then took a look at the medicinal pellets she gave him earlier.

"Senior-martial aunt, how do we dispel the formation on the bottle?"

The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, as she pointed at the formation on the door to the palace. "Like the formation on that door, you simply have to shout the password I used earlier to dispel it."

Qu Jiang was a little startled. After carefully pondering for a moment, he raised the bottle with a stern look, and shouted with incomparably seriousness. "Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!"

Cough cough cough…

Zhu Yao could not help but choke on her own saliva.

The formation on the bottle was dispelled on command, and when he took a look at the medicinal pellets inside, his eyes suddenly widened. "These… These are Nascent Soul Pellets!" And there were six of them. These were medicinal pellets used to raise one's cultivation from Azoth Core to Nascent Soul. With these pellets, it meant that the sect would have six more Nascent Soul practitioners.

Qu Jiang's excited hands began to tremble, as he raised the artifact on his other hand. It was actually a seventh rank artifact, though it was still sealed by the formation. He once again looked at Zhu Yao.

"Senior-martial aunt?"

Zhu Yao's face darkened. "The password to dispel it is the same as the one earlier."

Thus, Qu Jiang once again shouted out loud. "Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!"

The formation on the artifact was dispelled!

That's right! The method that would have Cheng Qingdiao's name rot for tens of thousand years that Wang Shang thought of, was to engrave the exactly same formation on every single item he left behind. If someone wanted to use one, he or she had to first throw vulgarities at Cheng Qingdiao.

Bottles of medicinal pellets and talismans could be put aside, after all, they were one-time consumables, so the users merely had to throw vulgarities once. The people who use the artifacts and the mystical art scrolls however had the short end of the stick. Every single time they had to use the artifacts or take a look at the scrolls, they had to call out 'bitch'. This was especially so for those who were going to choose these artifacts as their Life Artifacts. They would have to help Wang Shang curse at Cheng Qingdiao for their entire lifetimes!

Daoist Wang Shang was definitely a very incredible person, without any explanations needed!

After pondering about it for a while, she realized that before long, the entire cultivation world would most likely have a new trending phrase: Cheng Qingdiao, bitch!

No matter if it was during a battle, no matter if it was when eating medicinal pellets to raise one's cultivation level, or no matter if it was during a meditative state to improve one's cultivation, every single person would curse at him for no reason. It was no wonder Wang Shang would point out how refreshed he felt just by imagining this scene. This feeling of having the entire world curse at his most hated individual was definitely incredibly refreshing!

"Senior-martial aunt, I wonder what does this 'bitch' mean?" Qu Jiang looked as if he was pleading for knowledge. "This disciple has cultivated for so many years, but I have never of such a beach?"

It was such a sophistical question, she had no idea how to answer.

"Haah, Sect Master… Junior-martial nephew, the meaning within is too profound, and even I can't fully grasp its entirety. However, it was this incantation that was revealed after solving the riddle on Trueheart Door. It seemed like if we wish to know the answer, we have no choice but to ask the ascended Daoist Wang Shang himself."

Qu Jiang nodded as he directed his gaze to the sky. "Ancestor's comprehension of the Heavenly Dao is truly of unfathomable."

Zhu Yao: "…" It's not even the slightest bit deep, alright?

If I were to tell you that he did all these to throw vulgarities at someone, you will definitely fall apart, right?

Just as Qu Jiang was about to sigh in awe again, he received a voice transmission from a disciple at the Main Peak, informing him that all the new disciples that had crossed Trueheart Door have woken up and was requesting him back to host the disciple acceptance ceremony. Only then did he recall about the new disciples who had all fallen flat on the ground.

While he was returning, he pulled Zhu Yao along to join in the commotion, and her aptitude could also be tested while they were at it as well.

Qu Jiang had absolute confidence in Zhu Yao. After all, she was someone who could solve the riddle of Trueheart Door, and had even received the recognition of Skybond Peak. Her aptitude could not be in any way bad. Even if she was considerably old, he firmly believed that it was because she had started late in her cultivation. With the power of his Ness Cesary Sect, there was a good chance that she could form her Azoth Core before her lifespan depletes. When that time comes, her body will be rebuilt, and her age would no longer be a concern.

He was filled with confidence for his senior-martial aunt Zhu.

However, the moment her spirit veins were tested, he was immediately dumbfounded. Trash penta spirit veins!

No, this can't be true. He wanted to climb towards the sky, and have a chat about life with that ancestor of his!

Poor aptitude meant low cultivation level, which meant short lifespan, which meant that no one would be able to enter Skybond Peak, which meant that they would no longer be able to obtain the treasures within.

After understanding this cruel truth, Qu Jiang felt depressed all over.

"Sect Master, the newly admitted disciples have already been waiting for a long while." A disciple entered and bowed, reminding him. "Should I first have the wandering practitioners proceed on first?"

Qu Jiang glanced at Zhu Yao at the side, his heart felt like it was being clenched. He then said with a wave of his hand. "Have the mortal disciples proceed here first." He presently did not feel like looking at wandering practitioners at all.

Zhu Yao rubbed her nose. It was not her fault for having poor spirit veins, it was set up by Realmspirit.

"Umm, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave for now." At this point in time, it was best for her to leave this place and stop traumatizing people.

"Senior-martial aunt!" Qu Jiang grabbed onto Zhu Yao, and with an expression that looked as if he wanted to cry, he spoke. "From this day forth, may I please beg you to go into closed-door training?" For Ness Cesary Sect, please study well, and aim for the top!

"…" Yes, Principal!

"Junior-martial brother Qu, immediately bring senior-martial aunt to the Hidden Arts Pavillion. No matter which level of mystic arts they are, no matter what kind of restrictions they have, allow senior-martial aunt to freely learn them."

Qu Qu nodded, and stood up as well.

Zhu Yao quickly headed out. If she were to stay any longer, she was really afraid that the Principal would stuff her with an intense high school curriculum or something.

Chapter 280: My Childhood is so Miserable

Because Zhu Yao was in a hurry, she did not watch where she was going. When she exited the grand hall, she bumped into several little radishes. They should be the new disciples who were admitted in this time, and they were about ten years old. Walking at the front were three children, and most likely because this was their first time visiting such a mystical place, their expressions were rather vivid. The first child's face was filled with excitement, the second child's face was filled with excitement, and the third child's face was filled with… the word 'bug'!

Zhu Yao stopped her feet all of a sudden, and had almost slipped within the hall.

"Little sister-in-law!" Qu Qu held onto her hand, preventing her from falling flat on her face.

Who's your sister-in-law!?

No, that shouldn't be what she should be concerned of right now. Zhu Yao turned around to look at the group of children who had already walked to the center of the hall, the depths of her heart were like the tumbling waves. The bug had once again appeared in such a sudden manner, without any notice whatsoever.

"Cricket, who's that child over there?" She pointed to the little boy on the right.

"Isn't he one of the newly admitted disciples?" Qu Qu gave her a 'how would I know?' look. "However, since he's standing at the front row, he must have broken through the illusion at Trueheart Door. Unfortunately, they had never cultivated before their admission, so even if they had received an enlightenment, they were unable to raise their level of cultivation. Merely their convictions have strengthened."

"The people standing at the front row are the ones who have received enlightenment?"

"Mn."

Receiving a sudden enlightenment at the moment of admission was clearly the mark of a cheat! She suddenly recalled Xiao Yi. As expected, all bugs walked on the path of fortunate encounters. This child couldn't possibly be the same as Xiao Yi, right?

She could not help but turn back and look into the hall. They had already begun testing spirit veins. Among the children who had received enlightenment, one possessed tri spirit veins, and one possessed duo spirit veins. Both of them had considerably good aptitudes, and even Qu Jiang's expression had softened a little as well.

It was now that bugged child's turn. He placed his hand onto the crystal ball, and instantly, one… two… three… five colours appeared in the ball.

Qu Jiang's joyful feelings instantly plummeted to the depths of the valley once again!

Penta spirit veins!

Zhu Yao was stunned as well. There was something wrong with this setting! What happened to the promise of the bugged male protagonist being overpowered? Why did he possess penta spirit veins? Could it be the setting had changed, and he had to walk on the path of hard work!?

With doubts in her heart, she was pulled back into Skybond Peak by Qu Qu. Because she could even think of a reason why this bug was different from the rest, she was submerged into a hectic academic life.

Fellow award-winning Principal Qu Jiang personally came to supervise her revision. Everyday, he would come to stare at her cultivate, determined to raise her into a kind, smart and beautiful… ah pui. He's determined to raise her into a high-end talent who could use all five types of mystic arts fluently. The eyes he had every single day were filled with fiery passion.

Even when she occasionally yawned, Qu Jiang would give her a long bitter lecture, wanting to guide her on the right path at every moment. With a heavy tone, he would say, "Senior-martial aunt… there's not much time left!"

To the point where even she felt that half of her body had already returned to the earthen soil.

Can't you let an elderly have a regular elderly life?

Whenever she encountered the slightest of problems with her cultivation, Qu Jiang would treat it as a huge matter concerning the sect and would gather all of the higher-ups with Nascent Soul cultivation and have a focused meeting. They would discuss and dwell deep into investigation, before finally coming up with perfect methods to solve the problems, afraid that she would take a detour. This degree of importance had even startled the grand committee's… Demigod Sovereigns to make a move.

According to legends, one could see the head of a dragon, but not its tail. The two famed professors – Demigod Sovereigns of Ness Cesary Sect, were even taking turns to counsel and nag at her. Uh… That's not right. They were imparting their various cultivation experiences to her. They had even especially written all of the possible difficult problems in a binded book- no, in a jade tablet, allowing her to check through them whenever she wanted.

This feeling of the entire population wishing for her to live a long life was truly scaring this old grandma.

"Grandma, Sect Master Master is doing what's best for you." Little tyrant said with a serious look.

Zhu Yao stroked the little head of the child who was acting like a mature person. "What do you know? According to scientific studies, there's a need for moments of relaxation. The idea of pulling the saplings to make them grow is wrong." She strongly protested, requesting a leave of absence.

"Grandma…" Little tyrant glanced at her face. "You're already very old. There's no need to grow anymore."

"…" She felt like a knife had stabbed into her chest.

That's not the meaning of the idiom 'pulling the saplings to make them grow', hey!

Pinching his chubby little cheeks, she then pulled them to the two sides. "What did you say!?" He actually dared to look down on her old age.

"Grandma… it hurts, it hurts!" He rubbed his reddened little face, and said with a wronged look. "What Little Bai said is right! There's no way for me to get master to teach me even when I want it!"

Zhu Yao was stunned. She then carried him up and place him on her thighs. "What do you mean by no way? Isn't Qu Jiang your master?"

"No, he's Sect Master master, he's different from my master." He shook his head.

What did he mean by that? Only after Zhu Yao asked further did she find out. Apparently, Little Bai was the second generation of a pair of practitioners, and his parents could be considered to be in the middle-high tier in the sect with Azoth Core cultivation levels. However, both of them had fallen when he was still young. He possessed the metal and fire duo spirit veins, so he was taken in by one of the Nascent Soul higher-ups as a personal succeeding disciple. However, not long after admitting into the sect, his master had went into life-death isolation, and he had yet to come out of it. In order to prevent wasting the talent of possessing duo spirit veins, Principal Qu Jiang took him in to guide him, which was why Little Bai was addressing him as Sect Master master. However, the Sect Master was after all helping out to guide someone else's disciple, so in regards to Little Bai's cultivation, he naturally wasn't strict like an actual master would be.

Compared to her intense lectures, Little Bai could be considered as an existence with free reins.

"No matter, just learn with grandma from now on." Zhu Yao was decisive, and made a copy of all the materials Qu Jiang taught her for Little Bai. After all, she could not be the only one suffering.

In the beginning, Little Bai was still rather happy. However, as the things she gave her grew, his little face began to look complicated. There were too many materials, and as a child of ten years old, it was simply a little too hard for him to digest everything. She had no choice but to add a little of her own cultivation experience, especially the details that he had to take note of when establishing Foundation and forming the Azoth Core.

"Grandma, after learning all these, will I really become very strong?"

"Of course, you will become as incredible as grandma." You must believe me, young man.

His eyes shone, but as though he had suddenly recalled something, he wavered again. "But isn't it enough to simply eat a Foundation Pellet to establish my Foundation?"

Zhu Yao frowned. As a good successor to Jade Forest Peak, she instinctively hated pellets. "Little tyrant, when it comes to things like medicinal pellets, it's best not to eat them!"

"Why?"

"Because…" Zhu Yao activated her children scaring mode. "Think, what are medicinal pellets made of?"

He lowered his little head and pondered for a moment before replying. "Spiritual herbs."

"Right, spiritual herbs. Then think carefully again, what is your grandma's original form?"

"Dandelion!"

"You see, dandelions are herbs as well. If medicinal pellets are made of spiritual herbs, then aren't they made of lots and lots of plant-type corpses similar to grandma…"

Before she could even finish, little tyrant's expression had already turned deathly pale. He looked at her fearfully, and as though he had recalled something, he covered his mouth while looking as if he was about to puke. Standing up on his feet, he then ran far away.

From Qu Jiang's accidental slip of tongue, after little tyrant returned to his place, he had puked for exactly two hours, and the little tyrant even had several nightmares.

Zhu Yao felt like she was a criminal for harming the national flower! From that day forth, Little Bai began to distance himself from all medicinal pellets.

Mn, the effects sure are very evident.

After Principal Qu Jiang gave her another three months worth of theoretical and basic course materials, he forcefully requested her to go into closed-door training to digest them. He forbid every single person from coming to Skybond Peak to disturb her, including little tyrant and cricket. Zhu Yao simply did not have the opportunity to hear about the matters concerning the bug. Adding that she had yet to receive the precognitive dream about the scenario, she did not dare to move on her own.

It was rumoured that he was placed in the Outer Sect.

Through her estimates, that child was ten years old at the very most. Even if he wanted to do something like destroying the entire world, it would still only happen when he grows up.

He instructed Qu Qu to pay more attention about that unknown bugged child. If he were to ever face any danger, she would step in and prevent him from turning into someone like Xiao Yi with all her might, while correcting his three views.

After finishing these preparations, she officially began to cultivate with all her effort. Though she did not really agree with Qu Jiang's hasty actions of wanting her to raise her cultivation level as soon as possible, with her present body, there was indeed a need for her to improve herself. Though she was much better than a regular elderly who would start panting after three steps and take a break after five steps, compared to other practitioners, she was presently too weak and her bones were rattling.

The palace of Skybond Peak was a very good place for closed-door training. Probably because of the entire floor being tiled up with spirit stones due the former owner's money spilling behaviour, the spiritual energy within was more than ten times denser than anywhere else. She could even skip the step of setting down spiritual energy gathering formations and immediately search for a place where the five elemental spiritual energies were at their richest. Then, she began to meditate and close off her senses.

During this meditation period, though she did not form her Azoth Core, she had actually dreamt. If she was not wrong, then it would most likely be the nonsensical precognitive dream.

Compared to the previous scenarios, what she saw this time was an inspirational drama.

The main protagonist was called Ye Qingcang, and his plight was rather similar to the first bug, Xiao Yi. However, he was not an orphan. His family was extremely poor, and he was just a regular village boy that herds cows. Because of his skinny figure, he was often bullied by others, so he was a male protagonist belonging to the same "my childhood is so miserable" category.

Because of a fortunate encounter, he met a Foundation practitioner that was close to death, and he found out about cultivation and deities. As such, the brave young man packed a few large flatbreads and went on his way. After experiencing several trials, he finally entered a first-rate deity sect – Ness Cesary Sect. However, because of his poor aptitude of penta spirit veins, he was placed in the Outer Sect.

The Outer Sect was basically a gathering of people who had no hopes of reaching the Heavenly Dao, especially in a first-rate sect such as Ness Cesary Sect. The Outer Sect disciples were left on their own. Some of them could not even be considered as mere labourers, and the cultivation resources they received were fewer than few. No matter how hard they worked, they could only stop at the Foundation level. Furthermore, a large portion of the disciples could not establish their Foundations in their entire lives.

Ye Qingcang had believed that he was fortunate in the beginning, as he had stepped on the path of longevity. However, slowly, he realized that this path was more cruel than the one he had before. There were a large number of Outer Sect disciples, but because of poor resources, the higher-ups of the sect had never set their eyes on these disciples, which thus led to a few chaotic mess on the management side. Various hidden acts of bullying and pressuring often happened, yet no one managed them.

Thus, Ye Qingcang once again raided the "my childhood is so miserable" dungeon. Putting aside the resources given by the sect, even the Hunger Dispelling Pellets that were given every month would also be taken away by the other disciples through various means.

His cultivation thus grew even harder to progress, and he had experienced every form of hard and dirty work.

Chapter 281: Starting the Main Protagonist Dungeon Raid

Though he was a little dissatisfied with this type of life, Ye Qingcang did not give up on the hope of becoming strong. Because of a fortunate opportunity, the Inner Sect disciples received a mission to subdue a fourth rank demonic beast. That demonic beast was extremely cunning, and was hiding within a cave. Furthermore, it specialized in concealment and required someone to lure it out. Though these disciples had already established their Foundations, not a single one of them was willing to become the bait. Thus, with rewards promised, they went to look for an Outer Sect disciple.

A fourth rank demonic beast was comparable to an early-stage Azoth Core practitioner. To an Outer Sect disciple who merely possessed regular Essence cultivation, it was simple too dangerous. Though the amount of resources in the Outer Sect was small, those who dared to risk their lives for more were even fewer. Not a single one of them was willing to become cannon fodder. However, Ye Qinghang accepted it.

He placed all his bets on this single mission, risked his life to lure that demonic beast, and aided those Inner Sect disciples in completing the mission. However, after the mission, he did not want any of the rewards promised by those few disciples. He returned with nothing in hand.

It had to be recognized that Ye Qingcang was someone who knew how to invest. He did not take anything, but instead had those few people owe him a favour. Their favourable impression of him rose greatly, and whenever they were free, they would see each other and have some light chit-chat or whatever.

The crowd in the Outer Sect were also people who could trim their sails as well. Seeing that he was familiar with the people in the Inner Sect, no one dared to bully him again, and the miscellaneous chores he had to do decreased as well. He finally could begin to cultivate seriously.

He spent two years to cultivate from the first level of Essence to the fifth level of Essence, and it was at this moment he encountered a bottleneck. His cultivation could no longer rise. There was a need for a third rank medicinal pellet – a high-grade Spirit Gathering Pellet, in order to make a breakthrough.

However, it was very rare for even a first rank medicinal pellet to appear in the Outer Sect, let alone a third rank pellet.

And coincidentally, become of an accident, he received the inheritance of the Pellet Hall. Putting aside how he became a pellet encyclopedia, he had even received a pellet refining divine artifact. He relied on these long-lost pellet recipes to pull himself up, and began to walk on the path of a great pellet refining meister. With the divine artifact in hand, refining pellets was as easy as making balls of mud, and every day, he would chomp on medicinal pellets like they were candy.

His cultivation had also immediately rose from the fifth level to the ninth level of Essence.

Then, he was stuck again. Though he had already prepared the Foundation Pellet, he was unable to obtain the opportunity to make a breakthrough for a long, long time. He understood that this was a problem that rose from his aptitude, and there weren't any cultivation techniques that could allow him to break through the restrictions of his spirit veins.

However, as a protagonist who had been blessed by cheats, how could he possibly admit defeat? Since there wasn't such a cultivation technique in the world, then he just had to create one himself. Thus, student Ye Qingcang began his trial and error on a new cultivation technique. And, he managed to do it! He broke through the limits of his spirit veins, and he was able to quickly absorb all five types of spiritual energy. Even though he possessed penta spirit veins, he could cultivate like someone who possessed the heavenly spirit vein.

His cultivation had also begun to improve by leaps and bounds, and in just ten years, he established his Foundation and entered the Inner Sect.

After that, in the Internal Sect Tournament, he had even taken first place in the Foundation disciples category, comprehended sword intent during the tournament, and henceforth began to walk on the path of swords. This blinding heaven-defying talent had even been favoured by one of the Demigod Sovereigns in the sect, and Ye Qingcang was taken in as his disciple.

From then on, it was as if hacks had been activated in his life, as his began to quickly grow. He fought heretic practitioners, broke into secret realms, and took in spiritual beasts. He had even subdued an ancient evil dragon and took it in as his mount. He merely spent two thousand years to make a breakthrough into a Demigod, and from then on stood at the summit of life.

He was able to clearly distinguish between friend and foe, and was heartless towards his enemies and heretic practitioners. You give me an inch of respect, I shall return you ten inches. If you offend me the slightest bit, I shall exterminate the grass from its roots. However, he took extremely good care of the sect. Though he had suffered many bitterness for a short while, he understood that this was normal in the cultivation world and did not carry any resentment. Instead, he safeguarded Ness Cesary Sect the entire time, till his lifespan depleted, going into reincarnation.

That's right, he did not ascend. Even when he had reached the Demigod Paragon stage, he was unable to obtain the opportunity to make a breakthrough and ascend, and neither did he forcefully bring down the ascension lightning tribulation.

Furthermore, he wasn't a stallion like Xiao Yi who would leave seeds everywhere he went. He was sincere to his practitioner-pair companion, and had never given another woman a glance, let alone having immoral acts such as raising furnaces or whatever. Zhu Yao had to give him a thumbs-up for this fact.

His wife was a chamber disciple under a Nascent Soul practitioner in the sect, and her name was Qu Yi. That's right. She was that junior-martial sister Qu Yi whom Little Bai was infatuated with, the cricket's disciple! She became the male protagonist's woman in the end.

Little Bai was also one of the characters in this scenario as well. However, he was not the main protagonist's best friend, nor was he an acquaintance, and neither was he a cannon fodder. He was but a background character. There was no opportunity for him to appear in this scenario at all. The only time he was even mentioned was when Qu Yi recalled of her past, and she simply stated. "When I was young, I had a senior-martial brother called Little Bai, and he took care of me at all. But unfortunately, when he broke into Tranquil Valley back then, he never returned." This was clearly different from present time, or a change might have occured due to her appearance.

As for Ye Qingcang, in the end, he became the supreme lord of the cultivation world. Whenever his name was brought up, the people would raise their thumbs and say, "a true hero!" And because of his iron fist policy, a short period of peace appeared in the cultivation world. Basically all of the heretic practitioners that had always been up to no good were left without anywhere to hide. The cultivation world was peaceful for ten thousand years.

The longer Zhu Yao watched, the more she could not understand. From how things were playing out, how could this person possibly be a bug? At the very most, he was a person with quite a temperament! There was not the slightest trace of him wanting to take revenge on society. Not only did the world not collapse, it had instead grew more stable.

That 'bug' mark couldn't possibly have been misplaced, right?

Just as Zhu Yao was in doubt, the scene changed. Several hundred years had passed since Ye Qingcang's death. The present cultivation world was in chaos. The place was filled with blood and massacre. It was as if every person was on steroids. Just because of a single word, they would actually fight with their lives on the line.

Even Zhu Yao could not believe her own eyes. Was this the same stable cultivation world she saw earlier? She could faintly hear a few cries, the same words Ye Qingcang had. You give me an inch of respect, I shall return you ten inches. If you offend me the slightest bit, I shall exterminate the grass from its roots.

Was this an effect of an idol?

She finally understood why Ye Qingcang was a bug. It was because of his Dao. He was once under suppression, and then he worked hard to retaliate, so he paved his way through blood. Towards heretic practitioners or those who violated the rules, a pious practitioner like him would exterminate them heartlessly. Though his resolve was stable, the amount of people he killed was more than ten times the average practitioner.

Most likely, this was also why he did not ascend in the end.

However, a famed person was like a role model to many, and many descendants would like to learn from him, wanting to pave their way into cultivation through blood. Once one had killed a huge number of people, his or her body would carry heavy evil energy. In the beginning it might give that person a false image of being powerful, and thus drowning him or her in massacres. They were similar to the soldiers on the battlefield with bloodshot eyes, but these practitioners were different Ye Qingcang. He had a definite measure in his heart, and the people he killed were all he thought should be killed. His goal was to kill to stop more killing, and had never easily created conflicts on his own. However, the others were killing only to kill even more.

To the point where at the late stages, people began to believe that as long as they were to kill more people, they would be able to grasp the Dao. With his own tattered hands and feet, Ye Qingcang built himself a wonderful ending. However, unintentionally, he had lead the masses into the devil's path.

At the very end, Zhu Yao couldn't bear to watch any longer. There were limits to the population of the cultivation world. If these killings continued, in just a few short hundred years, there would only be a few practitioners left. However, there were still people who remembered the story of grasping the Dao through blood, and they had even begun to reach their hands out to the mortal realm.

When unarmed mortals were faced with practitioners, there was no need to even guess what the outcome would be. The destruction of the world was something that would occur in due time.

Zhu Yao woke up from her meditative state, her head drenched in cold sweat. She was frightened by that hell on earth scene at the end. She only managed to calm down after taking a few deep breaths, and after pondering about the bug this time, she felt uncomfortable all over.

How was she going to fix this world-level bug? The bug this time was not caused by Ye Qingcang alone at all! In the end, his three views were normal, and there wasn't a single problem with him at all. The reason why the world was destroyed at the end was because those descendants had courted their own deaths, right?

Could it be that she had to run over to Ye Qingcang and talk about how beautiful the world was, and stop him from paving his way to the Heavenly Dao through blood? And have him pave his way through love?

She would most likely be treated as a crazy person, right?

Furthermore, there were countless paths, and every single person had their own Dao. These paths were decided based on everyone's own experiences and enlightenments. She was basically unable to intervene at all. Seeing how powerful this scenario was, in the end, Ye Qingcang would most likely still tread on the same path.

What should she do?

A bug like this where no one was in the wrong, was something she did not know how to fix. Did Realmspirit really have to give her an even harder mission every single time!?

Zhu Yao felt as if she was presently facing the most difficult test in her life!

Just from looking at this scenario alone, she was completely unable to determine any problems with Ye Qingcang. She was basically unable to locate anywhere to start from.

When it came to things she could not figure out, Zhu Yao had no choice but to… leave it alone for now!

No matter the case, she had to first raise her cultivation, and then make friends with the male protagonist after that. Then, she would find the appropriate time to help him, and see if she could pull him back from the path of bloodshed. The scenario only kick-started when the male protagonist faced the fourth rank demonic beast. There was still time. Calculating the time from now, there was still five years.

She had use this opportunity to raise her cultivation as soon as possible. Only when she were to possess strength would she have the power to help others.

Zhu Yao began to focus on her cultivation. She was not sure if it was because she had that transparent spiritual energy in her body, but her present cultivation speed was comparable to the time when she merely had the lightning spirit vein in her body. Furthermore, she realized that no matter what type of spiritual energy it was, all of them were especially intimate with the transparent spiritual energy. The situation where the five elemental spiritual energy would conflict with each other did not happen at all.

She secretly wondered if this transparent energy was similar to the World Favourable Impression ability she had back then, a cheat that Realmspirit had given her. When she thought about this, she had a premonition that she would be trolled by it one day in the future.

Five years later, her cultivation level had risen to the intermediate stages of Foundation.

Just as she woke up from her meditative state, a white light suddenly flashed by her waist side. She pulled open the storage pouch to take a look. It was a familiar voice transmission talisman, and a familiar male voice was resounding from within.

"Yu Yao, I'm Fudie. Where have you been? Once you hear this, hurry and reply! There's huge business!"

Profiteer?

She suddenly recalled that Profiteer seemed to have passed her a voice transmission talisman the moment they entered the third test.

Thus, she circulated spiritual energy into it and responded.

"It's me. What is it?""

The voice transmission talisman immediately shone again, and Profiteer anxiously asked. "Fellow daoist Yu… You have finally responded. I have been looking for you for two years. Just where have you been?"

"Uh…" Could she say that she had long forgotten about him? "I went into closed-door training, and have only just came out."

"I see…" He heaved a sigh of relief. "Oh right, in the end, which Peak of Ness Cesary Sect did you enter?"

Zhu Yao pondered for a moment, and in the end decided not to speak the truth. "Talisman Spirit Peak."

"Ah! Talisman Spirit Peak? Didn't I say not to go there? You… Haah, nevermind." He said with a sympathizing tone. "There's a huge business. Do you want to participate?"

"What business?"

He said mysteriously. "One senior-martial brother of mine received a mission, and the reward is four hundred mid-grade spirit stones. He merely have to subdue a fourth rank demonic beast near Loz Forest. Coincidentally, you specialize in the art of taming beasts. With you around, this mission will definitely be easy-peasy."

Fourth rank demonic beast! Loz Forest! It couldn't be that coincidental, right? Wasn't this the mission which the male protagonist took for the first time?

"Fellow daoist Yu, how about it? With you, there will merely be a total of six of us. We will be able to earn a few tens of spirit stones."

"Sure, I will go!"

"Alright, we are already at the mountain gate. Hurry over!"

"Mn."

Just as she was worried about how to approach the male protagonist, she never expected that Profiteer would coincidentally be one of the people involved in the mission.

She left Skybond Peak and immediately walked towards the mountain gate. From far, she could see a few people gathered together, and at the very side stood Profiteer himself. He evidently spotted her, and waved his hands energetically. Just as Zhu Yao was about to greet him, a startled voice rang from the side.

"Grandma!" In front of her, a youth in azure robes had just gotten down from his sword, looking as if he had just returned from a mission. He was about fifteen to sixteen years old and had a very tall figure. Though, his face looked kind of familiar.

"Little tyrant!" Zhu Yao was stunned. It had been five years since she last saw him. He sure had grown too quickly.

"Grandma, you have ended your closed-door training already? Sect Master…" Zhu Yao hurriedly covered his mouth, preventing him from continuing his words. Though she was a duck chased onto the chopping board and had become Qu Jiang's senior-martial aunt, the number of disciples who had truly seen her with their own eyes numbered few. She still wanted to be familiar with the male protagonist after all.

"Junior-martial sister Yu, this is?" Profiteer walked over as well, as he looked them, puzzled.

"Hoho…" Zhu Yao smiled. She definitely could not allow little tyrant to expose her avatar, otherwise, she would not be able to leave. "This is my… distant relative." Zhu Yao winked at Little Bai, before letting him go.

Little Bai frowned, his face was filled with disapproval. However, he still cooperated and replied. "Bai Zhiyuan."

"So it's junior-martial brother Bai!" Profiteer looked towards Zhu Yao. "Is he here for the mission as well?"

Just as she was about to refute, Little Bai quickly spoke. "Yes, I'm going with grandma." After saying that, he gave her a 'if you don't let me go, I'm going to report to the principal' expression.

Zhu Yao had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure it. The unbearable child has grown up, and his wings have grown wider, huh!

Profiteer was a little hesitant. Little Bai however continued. "If I don't go, grandma will not go either."

Only then did he nod reluctantly.

"Junior-martial brother Jian, has the person you spoke about arrived?" The four people who had been waiting at the other side began to crowd around as well. Two men and two women.

One of them was a Foundation female practitioner, and seemed to be the one leading the group. With a suspicious look, she sized Zhu Yao up. "She's the person you spoke of?"

"That's right!" Profiteer nodded.

Chapter 282: Catch That Beast!

The suspicion on the female practitioner's face grew heavier. She then turned to look at Little Bai at the side, a little dissatisfied that he merely possessed cultivation at the tenth level of Essence. However, after seeing that his sleeves were embroidered with the mark that only elite disciples could have, she was startled for a moment. In the end, she did not express any disapproval, and said with a sigh. "Since she's here, then let's go. We have already wasted quite a bit of time earlier. We have to rush there by noon."

As she said that, she instructed everyone to fly on their swords and head northwards.

"Little tyrant, lend me a flying sword!" Zhu Yao immediately snatched a flying sword from little tyrant and used it as her own transportation tool. Then, she followed right after them.

Bai Zhiyuan sighed. He did not retaliate, instead, he took out another mystic artifact and caught up to her.

"Grandma, there's so many mystic artifacts in Skybond Peak, why do you have to use mine?" he could not help but retort through voice transmission.

Zhu Yao made an awkward look. "You don't understand. Grandma has very expensive tastes!" Use the artifacts in Skybond Peak? She did not wish to cuss out 'bitch' all day long.

"Grandma, if you slip out of Skybond Peak like this, Sect Master master will be angry."

"I have no choice. I have matters to attend to."

"No matter how huge the matter it is, you can't slip out like this." He said with a disapproving look. "What if you encounter something dangerous?"

"Don't worry, I will protect you well!"

"…" This was not what he meant! Haah, whatever. He just had to watch over grandma a little. Once an opportunity were to arrive, he would still inform the Sect Master.

Zhu Yao sized up the group of people. Ye Qingcang was very easily recognizable. The person with the poorest cultivation was him, at the first level of Essence. Like little tyrant, he was around fifteen to sixteen years old. He had very average and common looks, belonging to the category where if she were to throw into a large crowd, it would be impossible to distinguish him from the rest.

If not for the clear 'bug' wordings on his face, she really would not have connected him with the past bugs she encountered. There was not the slightest of indication on him that showed that he was a main protagonist.

The group flew for about half an hour before arriving at the edge of the forest.

The leading girly was surnamed Qin, and she possessed cultivation at the late stages of Foundation. The other girly was at the mid stages of Foundation, while the other two male practitioners were also at the late stages of Foundation as well.

Group Leader Qin gathered everyone together, and explained the situation surrounding that demonic beast in detail. It was a fourth rank Concealed Rock Beast, and it had the dual attributes of metal and earth. It was extremely capable in concealment, and it lived in one of the caves in the edge of the forest.

The terrain of the cave was very complicated. If one were to enter it by mistake, it would most likely be impossible for that person to find his way bag. This was also why the best plan was to lure the Concealed Rock Beast out. Naturally, she had already prepared the male protagonist as bait.

"This is Firefly Scent Lure." The girly Qin passed Ye Qingcang a green stone. "Take this and enter this cave. Within six hours, the path you tread will glow with white firefly lights. If you happen to lose your way inside, you can come out by following the lights."

Ye Qingcang took it, and nodded with a heavy expression. His eyes, however, were unexpectedly firm.

"Why don't we use a Positioning Talisman?" Little tyrant interrupted. "If we use a Positioning Talisman, we can immediately position it at the entrance. Isn't that better?"

When his words fell, one of the male practitioners glared at him, and said with a sarcastic tone. "Hmph! Positioning Talisman? Do you know much does one Positioning Talisman costs? Catching one fourth rank demonic beast isn't even enough to buy two Position Talismans."

Little Bai's expression paled, a hint of embarrassment flashed past his face. He was indeed unaware of this fact.

That male practitioner however grew even more tactless. "You elite disciples simply do not know of the pain of regular disciples. Do you really think the streets are filled with talismans?"

Zhu Yao frowned. These words were indeed a little too much! This person was surnamed Zhao was dissatisfied with the newly joined Zhu Yao and Little Bai ever since the very beginning. Along the way, he had not given them even the slightest smile.

"Enough!" Group Leader Qin's expression sank as she glared at Zhao Li. "It's already pretty late. Before dark, we must lure that Concealed Rock Beast out."

Only then did Zhao Li shut his mouth.

The group walked to the entrance of the cave. The cave was really huge, similar to a gigantic highway tunnel. A few low growls of demonic beasts could be faintly heard from within, accompanied by the whistling of the wind. The sounds were not exactly clear.

The girly Qin cast a glance at Ye Qingcang. He took a deep breath, before walking into that cave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhu Yao took a few steps forward. A white light flashed in her palm, and she slapped him at the back. She said with a chuckle. "Be careful."

Ye Qingcang had a confused look, but he still gave her a nod before walking in. In just a short few moments, his figure was no longer in sight.

"Junior-martial sister, just how confident are you with subduing this fourth rank demonic beast?" Profiteer asked.

"I don't know either." Though her World Favourable Impression was really convenient to use, there was still that bugged main protagonist at the side. She was truly worried that something might happen. "We can talk about it again after seeing the demonic beast."

Profiteer nodded as he pointed to the entrance of the cave. "With how huge the cave is, most likely, that junior-martial brother might not be able to return that quickly…"

Before he could even finish, a loud roar could be heard from within. The entire cave entrance began to rain down shattered rocks.

The crowd was stunned. None of them had expected that Ye Qingcang would encounter that demonic beast so quickly.

"Scatter, be prepared to battle!" The girly Qin shouted out with a sunken voice. The group did not have time for idle chatter either, as they hurriedly scattered and summon their weapons.

In just but a few moments, running footsteps could be heard from the entrance. Ye Qingcang sprinted out, and though his hair was slightly dishevelled, he was not injured at all. Before the group could even feel joyous, a gigantic figure suddenly appeared behind him, and it was charging out of the entrance.

"Get down!" Zhu Yao shouted.

Ye Qingcang hurriedly rolled in response, as he exited the cave.

Immediately after, the sharp howl of a beast reverberated. The loudness of its voice resounded through the clouds. Probably due to the echoes in the cave, even the entire ground seemed to be shaking a little.

With a bang, a demonic beast which had rocks grown all over its body appeared before their eyes.

It seemed to be extremely furious. After its howl, it faced the nearest Ye Qingcang and slammed its claw towards him.

Though he had rolled quite a distance away, it was still impossible for him to dodge and the sharp claw was about to reach his body. In the scenario, Ye Qingcang was heavily injured because of this claw, and he had almost lost his life in result. However, it was different this time.

An earth wall suddenly erected in front of his body, blocking that ferocious claw. He felt a little heat on his back, as an earth-type defensive talisman flew out. He was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he recalled that right before entering the cave, that newly joined granny had slapped him on the back.

"Granny?" He turned back to look at her, flabbergasted.

"What are you looking at? Hurry and run!" Zhu Yao glared at him. You're a granny. Your entire family is made of grannies!

Ye Qingcang rolled and crawled out of the demonic beast's attack range.

"Little tyrant, look after him!" Zhu Yao turned around and instructed Little Bai. With a flick of her hand, the earth wall summoned by the earth-type defensive talisman earlier instantly expanded, blocking the demonic beast's movements.

The demonic beast's eyes grew crimson red, evidently, it was enraged beyond compare. Zhu Yao had planned on first restricting its movements and have it calm down before chatting with it.

Who would have known that in a blink of an eye, the gigantic figure of the demonic beast that was surrounded by the earth wall, would disappear without a trace.

"It disappeared!" Zhao Li said with a startled look. He searched around, before glaring at Zhu Yao. "Old woman, you can't possibly have scared it back into the cave, right?"

The flames in Zhu Yao's heart instantly erupted.

Group Leader Qin's expression changed. "Stay focused, the demonic beast is still here!"

At the moment her words fell, that demonic beast suddenly appeared right above Zhao Li, and it was pouncing straight at him. Zhao Li quickly dodged, but he was still slammed head-on by the demonic beast's claw. Though he had long erected a defensive barrier, he still received some injuries. He was thrown a few dozens of meters away as he puked out a mouthful of blood.

"Junior-martial brother Chen!" The Qin girly cried out. She instantly summoned several dozens of spiritual swords and threw them at the demonic beast.

However, a scene that could shock everyone occurred. The body of the gigantic demonic beast began to turn transparent in a blink of an eye, disappearing from its spot in an instant. The spiritual swords struck the trees behind it one after another.

"The demonic beast can conceals itself!" Profiteer shouted out loudly. "Be aware of your surroundings."

Only then did the group calm themselves down and focus their senses at the movements in the surroundings. Unfortunately, because they were merely practitioners at the Essence and Foundation level, they were unable to expand their divine sense. They were basically unable to see through the demonic beast's location.

In the next moment, that demonic beast once again appeared next to the male and female Foundation disciples. They were practitioner-pair husband and wife, and they had been both slammed onto the ground, watching as the demonic beast bite towards them. At this moment, Profiteer summoned hundreds of icicles and threw them at the demonic beast.

That demonic beast dodged to the side, jumping up from the spot it was from, its figure once again began to turn transparent. Right before it disappeared, it faced the sky and let out a suppressed growl.

Zhu Yao heard it clearly this time. The meaning behind that growl was…

"It hurts…"

Zhu Yao was startled for a moment, a thought instantly emerged in her mind.

Before she could piece everything up, that demonic beast instantly appeared right behind her.

o′ Oouu~~ As it roared, it pounced at her.

However, at the moment it was about to land on her, it blanked for a moment. Unable to stop the momentum on its feet, it bent its knees and ended up twisting itself, smashing onto the ground right in front of her.

Then, it simply laid there in a daze.

That pair of crimson red eyes grew a little clearer, as it mumbled in front of her. "It hurts~~"

Zhu Yao asked on reflex. "Where does it hurt?"

It suddenly voiced out 'ah' in front of her, opening its large mouth. It was even larger than her entire body. Zhu Yao simply felt a fishy stench pouring towards her, its heaviness made her feel dizzy.

Ugh… Such heavy bad breath!

Even if you're a beastie, please take care of your hygiene, hey!

"Grandma!" Little tyrant was frightened. Just as he was about to charge out, he was stopped by Profiteer.

"Wait a minute." He pointed to Zhu Yao and said. "She's presently taming that demonic beast. Don't worry." He had experience with something like this. Back then when she tamed that fifth rank demonic beast, she was also standing unmoving like that.

Mn. Junior-martial sister Yu is not dodging. She's definitely using that unique beast taming technique of hers. She definitely is.

The group exchanged glances, a hint of hesitation appeared on their faces. Little Bai's heart was even clenched tightly.

Zhu Yao looked at that beastie closing ts mouth in front of her, and it was still crying out with a teary voice. "It hurts… It hurts so much…"

"Just where in the world does it hurt?" If you don't say it, how would I know? Zhu Yao pinched her nose. The spiritual intellect of a fourth rank demonic beast was very limited. Though it had already calmed down, she really could not figure out from its answer for a moment.

That beastie however grew even more depressed. Tilting its head, it signalled with its paws. "It hurts… It swelled. It hurts so much…"

Swell? Zhu Yao was stunned a little. She took a closer look at its lips, and only then did she realize that there was indeed a lump on its lips. However, because its entire body was made of rocks, the swelling was not very obvious.

"Over here?" She touched the lump.

The beast jolted, as if a sore spot had been touched. Tears began to flow out, drenching Zhu Yao's entire body, as though she was bathing in a warm bath.

"It hurts… It's stuck. It hurts… A bad guy threw it in. Beastie hurts so much…" It grew even more depressed, as it told her in a complaining tone.

Only then did Zhu Yao begin to understand the situation. "You're saying… Something is stuck in your mouth?" That's why it's swelling!

The beastie nodded.

Her face darkened. "Open your mouth!"

With another 'ah' sound, it opened its mouth. Pinching her nose, Zhu Yao carefully inspected its mouth which looked like a mountain cave itself. As expected, she saw a trident hook on the right of its sharp teeth. The circulation of spiritual energy could be faintly felt from it as well. It was actually a low rank mystic artifact.

"Don't move, I will help you get it out." Zhu Yao leapt up and entered the demonic beast's mouth.

This scene had completely frightened the group behind who could not hear their conversation.

"Grandma!" Little Bai simply felt a bell ringing in his mind, and everything was blank. That demonic beast actually ate grandma!

Profiteer was dumbfounded as well. Though he had once seen junior-martial sister Yu tame a demonic beast, he had never seen such a situation where she was obviously serving herself as food!

Little Bai pulled out his sword and charged towards the demonic beast.

Before he had even reached the demonic beast, he heard the demonic beast letting out a cry of pain! A pillar of blood was shot out from the corner of its mouth like a geyser. In the next moment, Zhu Yao walked out of that demonic beast's mouth, in her hands were a trident hook mystic artifact and… a white tooth!

Little Bai's feet stopped, his face was filled with shock. He could faintly hear grandma speaking to that demonic beast.

"I'm sorry, I used quite a bit of force, and ended up pulling too much." In truth, she was dizzy from its bad breath, and for a moment, she could not clearly see that she actually pulling onto a tooth as well. "Yo, little tyrant, why are you here?"

Bai Zhiyuan: "… Grandma." Why did he feel as if he was being played for a fool?

With the thorn… and tooth gone from the beastie's mouth, the pain instantly dissipated. In an instant, the beast felt refreshed.

It excitedly bounced around, shaking the earth. Then, it showed Zhu Yao a grin, revealing a beautiful hole in its set of teeth. Lowering its head, it rubbed against Zhu Yao, letting out the signature cutesy sound in the beast realm. "Meow~~~"

Mn. If not because air was slipping out of its teeth, its intonation would have been more perfect.

"She has tamed that demonic beast." Profiteer said with an excited look.

The group then heaved a sigh of relief, before carefully approaching Zhu Yao. Even Zhao Li who was on the ground began to crawl up, and he looked at Zhu Yao with a greedy look. "Junior-martial sister Yu… Hurry, hurry and have this demonic beast enter the spiritual beast pouch. With it captured, the rewards we receive will most likely double."

Zhu Yao frowned, as she looked towards Profiteer. "You guys want to bring it back?"

Profiteer was a little awkward as well. "The mission simply stated to deal with this demonic beast, and prevent it from harassing the nearby practitioners again."

"This is a fourth rank demonic beast!" Zhao Li continued. "The disciples who bring it back to the sect will be heavily rewarded. Even if we don't bring it back now, since it's already tamed, anyone can form a contract with it. It will definitely sell for a good price."

Zhu Yao frowned. Why did she feel so irritated?

Chapter 283: Top Excellent Youths

"Who says I'm going to sell it?"

Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, anger swelled on his face. "Are you thinking of taking the credit all for yourself? I'm telling you. This beast is caught by everyone here, everyone here has…"

"Roar…" Before he could even finish, the Concealed Rock Beast suddenly roared at him, spitting saliva all over his face. If you try to be noisy again, I will eat you!

"Meow~~" Stroke my head, stroke it again!

Zhao Li paled from fright, that roar had shook even the depths of his heart. He hurriedly leapt a few steps back. "You… Didn't you tame it?"

"So you understood that I was the one who tamed it as well?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes. "It wasn't you!"

Zhao Li shut his mouth, his face was a mix of green and white.

The Qin girly sighed. She had no choice but to mediate in this situation. "This… junior-martial sister Yu. This demonic beast was tamed by you. I wonder what you're planning to do with this… spiritual beast."

Zhu Yao turned to look at the beastie which was beginning to act cute and roll towards her. She really had no idea. She took a few steps forward, and asked with a soft voice. "Beastie, are you willing to sign a contract with human practitioners?"

"Meow?" Beastie stopped its rolling, and with a tilted head, it looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"When you sign a contract with someone, you will forever be together with that person."

"Meow, beastie likes you!" It playfully rolled around. "Beastie wants to be together with you, together, together…"

"Not me, I'm talking about other human practitioners."

"Others?" It was startled for a moment. "I only want to slap others away, slap, slap…"

"…" Alright, it seemed like it wasn't willing.

In the end, she was the only one under the effects of the World Favourable Impression. She was unable to guarantee that it wouldn't chomp down on the person contracting it if she were to bring it back.

Zhu Yao turned to look at the others. "I have decided. I'm going to release it."

"What!?" Zhao Li leapt up again. "You're crazy! This is a fourth rank demonic beast! Even if you're unwilling to sell it, once we leave, what are we going to do if this demonic beast heads out to harm the nearby residents again!?"

"Harm?" Zhu Yao coldly smiled, as she threw that trident mystic artifact onto the ground in front of him. "This demonic beast was in such a crazed state because a practitioner used this mystic artifact, wanting to capture it alive. However, the capture was a failure, and this mystic artifact was left in its mouth. Because the artifact hurt it too much, it continued to cause a commotion. In the end, this blame falls on us human practitioners, doesn't it?" Just who is harming who here? "I can guarantee that after it's released, it will no longer appear at the edge of the forest again."

When Zhao Li realized that he was unable to refute, he choked out. "These matters are related to us… We are here on a mission. We have to bring it back, no matter if it's dead or alive. If this mission ends up being evaluated as a failure, wouldn't we have worked for nothing?"

"I can explain to the Sect Master." Little Bai took a step forward and said. "Senior-martial brother can rest assured about this matter. When that time comes, someone from the sect will naturally come to investigate."

"That sure sounds nice, but the spirit stones we could have gotten is flying off just like that." Zhao Li was still a little dissatisfied.

Zhu Yao said. "At the very most, I can forfeit my part of the reward." In any case, she was presently a tycoon. A random brick on Skybond Peak was worth a hundred times more than these people, you know?

"I don't want mine either." Little Bai immediately followed up.

"I don't need mine either." Unexpectedly, Ye Qingcang stood out as well, shooting her with a smile of gratitude.

This time, Zhao Li was truly speechless. Seeing that everyone no longer had any other opinions to voice, Group Leader Qin ended the conversation as such.

Zhu Yao spoke with the Concealed Rock Beast for a long while, before it unwillingly returned to the cave, promising that it would no longer leave the cave.

The group had initially planned to return to the sect, but the sky was already dark. However, because their present location was close to Loz Forest, there were occasional appearances of heretic practitioners, so everyone decided to stay the night at the nearby practitioner city. They would return to the sect in the early morning the next day.

Zhu Yao was indeed a little tired. After bidding Little Bai and the rest good night, she began to meditate and recover. However, in the middle of the night, she suddenly sensed a familiar suppressive presence, and woke up. She searched around, but the surroundings were calm and quiet, without a single anomaly to be seen.

However, she felt that something was amiss, her heart feeling a little strange. Opening the door, she happened to bump into Little Bai and Ye Qingcang who had coincidentally left their rooms as well. Just as she was about to greet them, the furious roar of a beast reverberated from the outside. In the quiet night, it was exceptionally clear to hear.

Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, as if something was tugging it.

The rest of the group came out of their rooms as well. Evidently, they had all heard that noise.

"Grandma, this roar is?" Little Bai looked at with a stunned look.

"It's that Concealed Rock Beast from the afternoon!" Zhu Yao grew even more worried. That roar was filled with despair and fury, which was completely different the roars in the afternoon that were mostly from irritation.

"Where's senior-martial brother Zhao Li?" Ye Qingcang asked. Only then did the group realize that they were missing a single person.

"Not good!" Group Leader Qin cried out.

Zhu Yao had already stepped on her sword, flying hastily towards the cave they were at in the afternoon, and her heart continued to sink. She had underestimated the greed of the human heart. A few Foundation disciples dared to challenge a fourth rank demonic beast, so naturally, they would naturally dare to return to this place to reap even larger rewards.

The suppressive aura in the air grew even more intense. From afar, she could already see the surging fiery lights in the direction of the cave. Within it was a mix of the screams of a demonic beast and the cries of human practitioners. Even though she was still quite a distance away, she could already smell the piercing stench of blood in the air.

Though she was already mentally prepared, when she saw the scene, Zhu Yao was still stunned by what she saw. The place was filled with blood, and even the entire wall of rocks was painted in blood red. That Concealed Rock Beast was trapped in a corner of the wall by dozens of practitioners, its body was now lacking several of the rocks that initially covered it, revealing the bloody flesh and white bones within.

It seemed to have already fallen into a certain state of craze and had completely lost its reason. Its eyes were bloodshot, and its claws were furiously scratching the ground. However, it continued to stand in its original spot, allowing those practitioners to throw various mystic arts on it. It did not take a single step away, tightly protecting the item behind it.

Behind it was a Voice Recording Stone, and floating above it was an image. It was the image of an old woman in azure robes.

Zhu Yao simply felt a bell ringing in her mind, as endless rage surged within her heart and soul, blazing to the point where her entire body began to tremble.

They had actually made use of an illusion of her to lure that beastie out!

"Hurry, this demonic beast can't hold on any longer. Hurry and capture it!" Amidst the human practitioners, a familiar voice loudly rang out.

A contract formation rose into the air and flew towards the demonic beast. The contract runes were drawn in black lines. This was… a death contract! According to rumours, it was a malicious formation used to forcefully capture demonic beasts. If a demonic beast dare to resist even the slightest bit, the formation would immediately swallow the demonic beast's inner core, causing it to die from the shattering of its core. Even if the capture was successful, the demonic beast would forcefully drop a rank.

Zhu Yao's heart clenched. She crazily drove the flying sword under her legs. Before she had even arrived before them, she had already summoned her own sword intent and threw an attack at the death contract formation. The cry of a lightning phoenix reverberated, and it directly scattered the formation. The long cry then disappeared into the horizon.

"Beastie." Zhu Yao presently wished that she could turn around and give Zhao Li a good thrashing, but had to first summon back the Concealed Rock Beast's consciousness.

However, that injured beastie could no longer hear her.

"It's you!" Seeing that this incident was exposed, Zhao Li's expression changed. A hint of fluster flashed on his face. Just as he was about to speak, the Concealed Rock Beast suddenly released a long roar, its entire body began to emit out a red glow. The surrounding metal and earth spiritual energy began to crazily pour into its body. An immense pressure suddenly came swirling forth, and all of the practitioners were losing their balance.

"This is…" Zhao Li was stunned.

"That demonic beast is trying to make a forced breakthrough!" A practitioner cried out in fear.

At this moment, Group Leader Qin and the rest had arrived as well, and they were similarly stunned at the present situation. She turned to glare at Zhao Li at the side. "Junior-martial brother Zhao, how can you go back on your words? You actually took advantage of the night and called wandering practitioners over."

"I never promised to let go of this demonic beast." Zhao Li snorted. "The ones who promised that are you guys. Furthermore, this demonic beast has already gone insane. In this sort of situation, we have no choice but to kill it before it ranks up, otherwise, not a single one of us will be able to escape. I'm doing this for you…"

Boom!

Before he could even finish, Zhu Yao immediately threw a bolt of heavenly lightning on him.

Zhao Li simply felt his entire body aching in pain, and his skin was instantly charred black. His Dantian was in immense pain, and the spiritual energy within scattered in an instant, causing him to kneel onto the ground. He could not help but puke out a mouthful of blood, as he looked towards Zhu Yao in fear. "You… How… How dare you?"

"Why won't I dare?" Zhu Yao looked at him coldly as she slowly continued. "Zhao Li, seeing you, I understand what true shamelessness is! Someone like you basically don't deserve to cultivate. From this day forth, you are no longer a disciple of Ness Cesary Sect."

Zhao Li's expression paled, and after sensing it carefully, he realized he was no longer able to gather spiritual energy within his body. The cultivation in his body was rapidly falling. "You… How can you destroy my spirit veins? I'm a disciple of Main Peak, what rights do you have to do so?"

"What rights?" Zhu Yao stared at him straight in the eyes, and slowly said. "My rights as your ancestral grand-martial aunt, Ness Cesary Sect Master's senior-martial aunt, and the owner of Skybond Peak! Even with my cultivation at the middle stages of Foundation, I can still blow you into bits with just a mere second!"

She once again summoned her own sword intent. A gigantic lightning phoenix suddenly appeared in the air. It flapped its immensely broad wings, and several thousands of lightning streaks struck devastatingly onto the ground.

Everyone present was dumbfounded by this scene. Though they weren't unable to discern that it was sword intent, just by looking at those streaks of lightning, their hearts could not help but turn cold. Was… Was this really the strength of a mere mid-stage Foundation practitioner?

Zhao Li was completely stunned. Being glared at by that lightning phoenix, his body instinctively shivered. He basically did not clearly hear what she said at all.

Zhu Yao swept her eyes at the dozens of practitioners gathered by Zhao Li, and slowly spoke. "You guys, is there anything you guys want to say?"

The practitioners exchanged glances, and a short moment later, a late-stage Foundation practitioner walked out with a shivering body. "We do not dare to intervene in a mission of Ness Cesary Sect. We have merely been misguided by this person. Since your group already has ideas on dealing with this demonic beast, then we will first take our leave."

After saying that, the crowd of wandering practitioners left without a trace, none dared to give Zhao Li another glance.

"Junior-ma… Grand-martial aunt." The Qin girly took a step forward. Even now, she still could not believe that this elderly was the rumoured grand-martial aunt in Skybond Peak. However, seeing the expression of the elite disciple Bai Zhiyuan, she understood that Zhu Yao was not lying. "I wonder how should we deal with the demonic beast now?"

This demonic beast had clearly lost its reason, and if it were to make a forced breakthrough now, it would most certainly lose control and self-destruct. When that time comes, the people within a ten kilometers radius would not be able to escape from the blast.

"I will try stopping its breakthrough. You guys hurry and leave this place." Zhu Yao did not speak any further. She took a deep breath, and instantly controlled the sword intent such that it flew towards the demonic beast that had already been completely surrounded in a red glow. Turning into a white gaseous body, it enveloped the entire demonic beast.

The Qin girly and Profiteer hesitated for a moment, before grabbing onto Zhao Li who had already completely lost his cultivation, and flew off on their swords.

While Zhu Yao suppressed the demonic beast's crazed aura, she split out a strip of spiritual energy to seep into its mind and summon his consciousness. Unfortunately, the other party was a fourth rank demonic beast, and did not have high spiritual intellect in the first place. Adding that it was at the brink of life and death just a few moments ago, wanting to wake it up was extremely difficult. Zhu Yao worked hard for a long while, and she was losing focus really quickly.

She hated this body which merely carried cultivation at the Foundation level. If her cultivation was even a little bit higher, or was able to expand her divine sense, then it wouldn't have been this difficult.

Suddenly, a gush of spiritual energy entered her body from her back. Zhu Yao turned to take a look. "The hell, little tyrant, didn't I tell you to hurry and leave!"

"Grandma, how can I possibly leave you here alone." Little tyrant said with a righteous look. "Furthermore, if anything were to happen to you, Sect Master will definitely blame me for it."

"Then why are you here?" Zhu Yao glared at Ye Qingcang at the side.

Ye Qingcang smiled, and said with a serious look. "I have yet to thank granny for saving my life in the afternoon?"

"So?"

"So I can't leave grandma here alone." Little tyrant's face was firm.

"And I have to pay this debt of gratitude." Ye Qingcang's face was determined.

The two exchanged glances, and smiled at each other. They were truly a pair of righteously good youths, and they would definitely be able to obtain the Young Pioneers Award based on their top-tier excellence. In regards to such excellent youths, Zhu Yao naturally felt moved with all her heart… like hell!

-Flips table!- The hell, you two staying back here is even worse, alright? At the very least, if she was alone, she could still make a gamble. Even if it was impossible, she could still swap avatars. Now that there were two additional children dragging her down, she no longer had the chance to disconnect, you know?

Top-tier your granny, excellent your grandma!

"Please hurry and scram for me, alright? Stop causing a mess."

"We won't leave!" The two young pioneers heavily nodded.

The hell!

Zhu Yao wanted to pinch the two of them to death.

The Concealed Rock Beast's aura began to grow rampant. The barrier created by Zhu Yao's sword intent was suddenly broken through, and a ray of fiery light blasted out. Her sword intent was completely shattered. Zhu Yao simply felt an intense pain in the depths of her Dantian, as she puke out a mouthful of blood.

"Grandma!"

"Granny!"

The two young pioneers cried out the same time.

"The hell are you guys calling out for? Run!" Zhu Yao picked the two youths up, and was just about to flee on her flying sword.

That red glow however suddenly grew even brighter, and it looked as if it was about explode towards the surroundings. Crap, they're doomed!

"Pea~~~"

Suddenly, a green light flashed from her body. A little green ball flew out and grew in size. In a blink of an eye, it hard already turned into a gigantic pea! It took up an entire half of the sky, and immediately after, that round pea let out an 'ah' sound. Like Pacman, with an 'ahm' sound, it swallowed the rampaging demonic beast.

The three people present: "…"

The entire silent was silent.

Who could tell them what just happened?
