Ever since he found out that Zhu Yao had unlocked her culinary skill, a certain master decided to improve his quality of life. When he was teaching Zhu Yao mystic arts, he would occasionally bring various types of wild animals for her to cook, and then eat them alone.
In order to let a certain person understand the importance of sharing, she intentionally went on strike for two days. In the end, Yue Gu compromised by having her roast two at a time, and thus, this ten thousand year otaku who never left the house, began to actively hunt in the mountains. Today, he would bring a rabbit, tomorrow, a chicken, and the day after …
"Little mistress, save me!" Zhu Yao looked at the durian that was pouncing towards her, and was speechless. What's the meaning of bringing a durian back?
"Highgod … Highgod wants to eat me, wuuuuuu …" The durian spirit cried with snot and tears. He no longer had that domineering and proud look he had when he said he was a virgin back then. His face was begging for her to let him go, begging for him to leave.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched, as she looked towards a certain calm master. "You can't be asking me to roast this today, right?"
Yue Gu raised his head, and said with a stern look. "A living creature."
"…" As expected, she shouldn't have held hope towards his common sense. "You can't roast this."
"Right, right, right. I can't roast it, I can't roast it." The durian spirit immediately replied loudly. Yue Gu instantly revealed a disappointed look.
Zhu Yao: "But … you can eat it raw."
Durian spirit: "…"
"Little mistress, how can you be like this? Back then, I was the one who led the way for you." The durian spirit howled even harder, pouncing towards her leg. As he cried, he approached her.
Zhu Yao felt that her leg had received + 1000 damage.
She kicked him away, and then explained to a certain master the difference between plants and animals, as well as the range of edible species. Only then did Yue Gu reluctantly let go of the durian spirit.
Yue Gu's mood was a little down, because he had not eaten yet. Hence, he decided to teach his disciple a slightly harder mystic art.
"Devil Smiting Inscription." Yue Gu said with a stern look. "This is the only mystic art in the world that can directly exterminate a Devil."
"There's actually a method to kill a Devil?" Wasn't it said that Devils could only be sealed?
Yue Gu nodded. "Once the Devil Smiting Inscription is activated, it will disperse the Devil's devillic. However … "His expression sank." Even so, the Devil will merely turn into ordinary devillic energy. As long as they encountered the Devil Race, they could be used by them. In ancient times, the God Race had used this method to exterminate many of the Devil Race, but the dissipated Devil Qi made the remaining Devil Race even stronger. Even the gods fell. "
So this was the reason why he was the only Ancient God left.
"I will impart this art to you. Unless absolutely necessary, remember not to use it easily." Yue Gu instructed with a solemn expression.
Zhu Yao nodded.
Only then did he explain the technique to her in detail and guide her on how to use her divine power. Zhu Yao understood why he said that she could not use it unless it was absolutely necessary. This mystic art, was to compress all of the godly energy in one's body into a single point, and then release it in an instant. Once this art was used, at the very least, the godly energy would not be able to recover for three days. This was a method of killing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred men.
"Do you remember it?" Yue Gu asked.
"Hmm, almost there." He had completely understood the theoretical knowledge.
"Since that's the case, I will demonstrate it to you once." Yue Gu took a few steps forward, and chanted the incantation. A ray of white light appeared in his hand, growing brighter and brighter, until even the surrounding scenery was a little blurry. That white light suddenly retracted, and gathered in his palm, forming a white pearl. Yue Gu's palm moved, and that white pearl rose into the sky. Immediately after, a circle of white light flashed. Like fireworks in the dark night, it flashed for a moment. It was as though some sort of energy was spreading in all directions, and finally, disappearing into the horizon.
"Did you see that?" Yue Gu asked.
"Uh …" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. Are you sure that wasn't fireworks earlier? For such a powerful mystic art, shouldn't the commotion be a little bigger, and be a little more explosive?
"There aren't any Devils here, so naturally, the effects won't be too obvious."
"I see. It's because it's an empty cannon."
"This art definitely cannot be used easily." Yue Gu pondered for a moment, and once again instructed. "This mystic art consumes quite a bit of mental energy. Even in my entire life, I can only barely use it twice."
"Twice?" Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She turned to look at his stern and serious expression. "Teacher, you've only used it once earlier."
"Oh …" Yue Gu was startled for a moment, and then said. "Then I can only use it once more."
"…" A mystic art like this, are you really going to waste it so casually? Is it really alright? Where's your common sense?
Zhu Yao suddenly had the urge to roar out. She really wanted to grab onto his collar and shake him awake.
"Little … Little mistress." The durian spirit who had left earlier crawled back out of nowhere. Standing far away, it hid behind a tree, and only stretched out its fruit stalk, weakly looking in her direction. If not because Zhu Yao had yet to retract her divine sense, she really wouldn't have noticed it.
"What?" Was she going to give Yue Gu a lesson on common sense?
The durian spirit weakly glanced at Yue Gu next to Zhu Yao, afraid that he would have thoughts of eating it again. He carefully said. "The people of the Phoenix Clan are here, and are waiting for you at the bottom of the mountain. I'm here to inform you."
Phoenix Clan? Could it be Shao Bai? Zhu Yao greeted Yue Gu, and then flew away with the durian spirit.
The moment she landed on the ground, she saw a sky-blue figure standing under the tall durian tree. He had a picturesque appearance, and that expression that always carried a gentle and tolerant smile. This scene caused Zhu Yao to be dazed for an instant, as though she would be blown away by the wind the moment she opened her eyes.
"Little sister …" He lightly called out, his voice was indescribably gentle and lingering.
"Shao Bai." Zhu Yao walked over, and tossed away the strange emotions she had earlier.
He lightly flicked his finger on her forehead, and pretended to be angry. "Impudent. You have to call me second big brother."
Zhu Yao raised her head, glared at him, and began to bring up the past. "What? You finally found your conscience and came to see me? "It was one thing for him to plot against her back then, but to send her here, and even place her under the durian tree, she simply couldn't tolerate it.
His smile however grew even deeper. He stared intently at her face, and gently asked. "You're still angry?"
"Hmph. Am I that petty? "She really was that petty.
"Alright, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's second big brother's fault." He admitted his mistake very quickly, and with a coaxing tone, he said. "Isn't second big brother here to see you now?"
Who cared? Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at him. Don't treat me like a child, alright? She was clearly older than him. "Why don't you head straight to the mountain peak?" Wasn't he very familiar with Yue Gu?
Shao Bai was startled for a moment. He pointed to the durian tree and said. "There's a barrier in this mountain. Unless the Far Ancient Highgod dispels it, no one else can enter."
"Oh." It was no wonder he placed her under the durian tree back then. It was to wait for Yue Gu to allow her to enter, right? "Then I will look for my teacher and have him let you in."
"No need." Shao Bai held onto her hand, and with a slight bit of force, he brought her into his embrace. He let out a long sigh. "Second big brother just wanted to see you. I'll be leaving soon."
"…" Zhu Yao was startled. For a moment, she forgot to struggle. Raising her head to look at his satisfied expression, a strange feeling instantly surged in the depths of her heart.
"Seeing that you're fine, second big brother is at ease." His face was filled with no regrets. His hand gently stroked the hair behind her back, and his eyes were as deep as the ocean. "You have to be well."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Yao faintly sensed that something had happened. After taking a closer look, Shao Bai's face seemed to be a little pale, and a hint of fatigue could be seen in between his brows.
Shao Bai's hand paused for a moment, and then slightly released her. His smile grew deeper. "What can I do?"
Zhu Yao frowned. "Speak human language."
"Second big brother is just happy to see you."
"…" Zhu Yao did not speak, and simply stared at him.
A moment later, he was finally defeated. Sighing, he lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers. "Little sister, you're just too smart …"
Zhu Yao's expression sank. She did not know why, but she just did not want to hear those words.
"Second big brother is going to guard the Nether Abyss in the extreme south." He looked like he did not mind, yet, he stared right into her eyes.
"Nether Abyss?" Zhu Yao was startled for a moment. Why did this name sound so familiar? After pondering for a moment, she suddenly widened her eyes. "Isn't that the place where you were trapped back then?" She could never forget his skinny look back then, so she subconsciously remembered the name of that place. "Why are you going there?"
Shao Bai simply smiled lightly, and his expression unexpectedly carried a hint of satisfaction. Pressing against her head, he gently rubbed it a few times. Zhu Yao shrunk her head a little uncomfortably.
"Recently, the Devil race has been active frequently, and the various races have sent people over to slow them down. The Nether Abyss is even more chaotic. Hence, the Patriarch sent me over to guard it. "
"Why you?" Putting it simply, that place should be the shadow of his childhood, right!? Was it really a good idea to send him there?
His expression sank, yet, his smile did not diminish. "The Nether Abyss is different from the Devil Sealing Grounds. What is sealed there is devilish energy. If any Devil were to enter, it would bring about a huge disaster. I … am rather familiar with that place. "
For a moment, Zhu Yao felt as though she was being stabbed. For him to casually mention the matters of the past, it made her feel even more uncomfortable. She could not help but use her hands to suppress that sudden dazzling smile of his. "If you don't want to go, then don't. Qian Yu won't blame you either."
Shao Bai was startled, and for a moment, he was unable to regain his senses, as though he did not expect that she would persuade him to give up. After a moment, he finally smiled. This time, it was not the smile that was as gentle as water earlier, but a real smile. As he smiled, he even stroked her head, and muttered again and again. "Little sister … Heh, little sister … Little sister …"
Zhu Yao frowned. What's with that expression of 'I don't know what's going on?
"I was the one who suggested to go to the Nether Abyss."
Alright, so she was overthinking things.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to me." His expression instantly relaxed a lot, and even that tiny hint of fatigue earlier had disappeared without a trace. "Once the Nether Abyss has calmed down, second big brother will come visit you again."
