The seal of the Devil Sealing Grounds was restored, and the Devil race was once again sealed. However, this time, the God race suffered heavy losses. Most of the clansmen sent to guard this place were lost, and only a few survived. It must be known that those who were qualified to guard this place were all clansmen with outstanding godly power. With the Devil race breaking the seal, the strength of the God race was greatly reduced. If they were to do it again, they would not be so lucky to be able to seal it again.
Zhu Yao's godly power was greatly depleted. Although it was mysteriously replenished later on, after all, it was not her own godly power. After the seal was activated, that godly power disappeared. She slept for two whole days, and when she woke up, she realized that she had already returned to the straw cottage in the extreme north.
Zhu Yao was a little worried about Little Six's injuries. She wanted to take a leave from her master, and return to the parasol tree to take a look. However, after looking around, she could not find Yue Gu's shadow.
Wasn't disappearing from time to time an essential skill for every master?
She had no choice but to meditate and recover. Only when the sun had set did she see a figure flying back from the horizon. In an instant, he had already landed in front of her. However, there was another person next to him.
"Little sister." The person who returned with him was Shao Bai. The moment he landed, he hurriedly took two steps towards her, his face was a little anxious. "Why are you up? How's your body? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? "He pulled her up and carefully inspected her.
Zhu Yao pressed his hand down. "Shao Bai, why are you here?"
Only then did he chuckle. His expression returned to its familiar gentleness, and he reached out to tidy her hair. "I've already been here for two days. You're injured, so how can I not come?"
"I'm fine." Zhu Yao gave him a reassuring smile. "You've just overdrafted your godly power. I'll be fine in a few days."
"Overdrafted your godly power?" Shao Bai's expression paled, and he immediately pulled her hand to check her pulse.
"Don't worry, I've more or less recovered." She had already tried it the moment she woke up. Her godly power had already recovered by more than half, and it was at least 50% charged.
Shao Bai checked for a moment, his brows furrowed even deeper, and his expression grew even more complicated. The corner of his lips moved, as though he wanted to say a few words to her, but in the end, he still sighed.
"Vietnam." Yue Gu walked over as well. Yue Gu walked over as well. "You've done very well this time." He raised his hand in appreciation. He gently touched the head in front of him. "Although the speed was a little slow, at least the seal was repaired."
Yue Gu rarely praised others, at least, ever since she came to the extreme northern lands. This was the first time she saw him praise her so straightforwardly, so Zhu Yao was a little happy.
If his hand. If it didn't fall on Shao Bai's head, the effect would be even better.
Zhu Yao clearly saw Shao Bai's gentle smile, and her face stiffened for a moment. She silently gave Shao Bai an apologetic expression and pulled down a certain someone's evil claws. I'm sorry. He hadn't taken his medicine today.
"Rest well for the next few days, there's no need to be in a hurry to learn Mystic Arts." Yue Gu instructed her with a few words, and then nodded towards Shao Bai. Only then did he turn around and leave, indicating that he wouldn't disturb the siblings' reunion.
"Shao Bai. As for the Phoenix Clan … "Zhu Yao asked a little anxiously.
"Call me Second Brother." Shao Bai flicked his finger on her forehead before replying, "Don't worry, I can handle it."
"Then what about Little Six?" Recalling that Shao Bai had always been biased against Little Six, she could not help but add another sentence. "This time, when the seal was being repaired, it was fortunate that Little Six was protecting me. Otherwise … he was injured because of me."
As expected, his expression sank a little, but at least, he did not clearly frown like before. Stroking her head, he said. "I know." Taking a deep breath, his smile grew even gentler. Changing the topic, he said. "Second Brother brought you some things." With a twist of his hand, he took out a bag. "These are all your favorite foods. If it's not enough, second brother will give you more …"
Before he could even finish, a white figure flashed next to him. Yue Gu who had yet to walk far had returned, and blew over like a gust of wind. He stared intensely at … the bag in Shao Bai's hand.
Zhu Yao: "…"
Shao Bai: "…"
Yue Gu: "You two continue." He simply stared.
Stared ~ ~ ~
Zhu Yao's expression darkened. This glutton from the Ancient Era! Letting out a deep sigh, she took the bag from Shao Bai's hand. A certain pair of eyes, immediately shifted to her hand. Zhu Yao could even feel the tip of her hand burning from his stare, so she had no choice but to pass it over to him.
A certain person received it with a satisfied look, and gave her a 'obedient disciple' expression. He casually took out a dried fruit, and as he elegantly and coldly chewed on the dried fruit, he turned to look at Shao Bai's hand, as though he was waiting for him to take out something else. He no longer mentioned anything about leaving.
Teacher, where's your moral integrity as an Ancient God? She really wanted to sever the master-disciple relationship with him.
Under such an intense gaze, Zhu Yao was simply unable to pull Shao Bai over to talk about her parents without any distractions, let alone unravel the knot between him and Little Six. Shao Bai hurriedly said a few words, and then left. Before he left, he even took out a wooden bracelet and wore it on her hand. "This is made of Wutong wood, it can resist against devillic energy. Remember to always wear it on your body." After saying that, he purposely leaned close to her ear, and transmitted his voice. "Don't worry, second brother has prepared another bag in this bracelet."
After saying that, he even meaningfully glanced at Yue Gu at the side, and then left reluctantly. Zhu Yao was speechless. Just where did he see that she liked to eat snacks?
— — — —
Five days later, Zhu Yao's godly energy had completely recovered, and it was even faintly showing signs of growing. Just as she was rubbing her fists, planning to go all out, Yue Gu slacked off. Putting aside the fact that he did not teach her any Mystic Arts, he even did not do any proper work, and brought her around the mountains to hunt. As long as he saw a living being, he would capture it and request her to cook it.
"Teacher, that's a grasshopper, it can't be eaten."
"Teacher, that's a snake, it's poisonous."
"Teacher, can you spare that sparrow? It's not even as big as your palm. "
"Teacher, let go of that panda. It really can't be eaten."
"Teacher, apples can be eaten, but that one has already turned into a spirit. Can't you see it howling?"
"Teacher …" Zhu Yao sighed deeply. Resigned to her fate, she took out the bag of snacks in her storage bracelet, and handed it over with both hands. I'll be honest, and hand it over to the organization, alright? Please focus on your lessons.
Yue Gu was startled for a moment, before receiving it with a calm look. Taking out a dried fruit, he finished it in two bites. "Disciple, from tomorrow onwards, teach your teacher how to tie my hair?"
"Eh?" It can't be, right? Wasn't he always a handicap, which was why he wasn't willing to learn? Why did he suddenly change?
Yue Gu kept the bag, and placed it back into her hands. Suddenly, the corner of his lips rose into an arc. "Your teacher suddenly wants to learn."
"…" What did he mean?
Yue Gu said with a stern look. "Your teacher has always been unconcerned about external matters, but I can't always let you help me."
Zhu Yao looked at the bag of snacks in her hands, and then looked at his smiling eyes. She could not help but reach out her hand to touch his forehead. His teacher, couldn't possibly be this normal.
"Teacher, you're not having a fever, right?"
"…"
Three days later. Zhu Yao really felt that Yue Gu was having a fever. Putting aside the fact that he was no longer snatching her snacks at every turn, Putting aside the fact that he no longer stole her snacks for no reason, he even took the initiative to learn various life skills. She even learned needlework.
Nine out of ten times, her hair would be coiled into a chicken's nest, and all the dishes she stir-fried would be charred charcoal. All the furniture he made would be missing arms and legs, and the things he sewed would eventually become a piece of rag. But it was as if he suddenly understood the importance of life skills. He was extremely engrossed in his studies.
Furthermore, he was determined not to let her interfere. He would rather wear a bird's nest hairstyle every day and wander around, insisting on doing it himself. Such a sudden change in style, caused Zhu Yao to suspect if he had been taken over by someone. If it wasn't for the fact that no matter how many times he failed, he would still maintain a calm expression that said "I didn't do it".
Zhu Yao spent her days observing his various failed creations. Of course, she had put aside the matter of learning Mystic Arts as well.
Who was the master and who was the disciple?
This kind of thing continued for a month, when the three clan leaders suddenly came to the Northernmost Land. Only then did the situation improve.
Firstly, the reason why the three Patriarchs came here this time was to ask about the prophecy in the Heavenly Revelation. Back then, Yue Gu had promised that once there was a result, he would inform the various clans. Secondly, it was a huge matter that caused everyone to feel uneasy and fearful.
For some unknown reason, ever since the Devil broke the first layer of seal on the Devil Sealing Grounds, not a single one of the phoenixes that died in the frontlines had been revived. Initially, phoenixes that had reached the end of their lives would transform into blazing flames and be reborn in three days. However, a month had passed, and not a single one of those phoenixes that died had ignited their Nirvana Flames.
And not only that, even the children of the Dragon Race were facing problems. The dragon eggs in the Dragon Mountain, had long reached the day where they could hatch, yet, the little dragons inside had yet to hatch. Furthermore, the aura inside was growing weaker, as though it was about to disappear.
Though the Qilin Race was viviparous, and it was still unknown if they were facing a reproductive crisis, out of the three God Races, two of them had encountered such a situation, and they could not help but panic.
Yue Gu was the only Ancient God in this world. If there was anyone who knew the answer to such a strange phenomenon, it would be him. Hence, after the three clans discussed, they decided to come to the Northernmost Land together.
"High Deity, the bloodline of the God Race cannot be severed. Without the protection of the God Race, I'm afraid that the return of the Devil Race will no longer be obstructed." Qian Yu's expression was solemn, and anxiety could be clearly seen between her brows.
Unfortunately, even Yue Gu was unable to give them an answer. He simply raised his head to look towards the horizon, and lightly sighed. "Everything is part of the Heavenly Dao. Even if it's us, we are powerless to resist."
The three Patriarchs could only return in disappointment.
Looking at their disheartened figures, Zhu Yao faintly felt a little sad. The three God Races had guarded the same seal for so many years, yet, in the end, they were going to face a crisis of extinction. No one would be able to understand this, right?
"Teacher, is there really no other way?"
Yue Gu turned and stared at her for a moment, before reaching out his hand to stroke her head. He slowly said. "Maybe there is, maybe there isn't …"
What did he mean?
Zhu Yao did not understand. However, in the following days, the situation seemed to be getting more and more serious. The earth-shaking situation from back then, appeared once again. It was as though the entire world was collapsing, and it was getting more and more serious. Back then, a situation like this caused the parasol tree to collapse, and the Devil Race to break out of the seal.
This time, she still did not know what the outcome would be, but evidently, it would not be too optimistic either.
However, her teacher was no longer as nervous as before. Instead, he stayed in the extreme northern lands with a calm look, and seriously practiced his messy life skills. He was also exceptionally lenient towards her, as though the "disciple harming" buff had suddenly been dispelled. Not only did his learning evidently improve, he even began to show concern for her in her daily life, and was becoming more and more like her real master, Yu Yan.
Zhu Yao felt a little strange for no reason. She kept feeling that something was wrong with his attitude, yet, she could not put her finger on it.
It was impossible for the Devil Sealing Grounds to be completely fine. She was worried about Little Six and Shao Bai. Hence, she suggested to go and take a look.
Yue Gu stared at her for a moment, so long that she thought he would object to it. However, she heard him sigh heavily. "You really want to go?"
She nodded.
Yue Gu sank into silence. The expression he was looking at her with seemed to be mixed with many emotions, making it hard for others to see through them. In the end, he still stroked her head, and said with an unclear meaning. "Go."
Zhu Yao's chaotic heart, however, miraculously calmed down. Even after flying out of the extreme northern lands, she still did not understand the meaning behind that expression. Raising her head, she looked at the horizon that was getting closer and closer. For some reason, she suddenly recalled the man standing on top of the gigantic tortoise's head. Her feet paused, she turned around, and headed in the direction she previously went.
She did not even know why she wanted to go there, yet, she faintly felt that there was something she wanted to obtain there.
The horizon was getting closer and closer, and in her mind, everything that had happened ever since she arrived in this world flashed past. She hatched prematurely in the egg, and those inheritance stones on the Terrace of Revelations, the abnormal phenomenon of the earth shaking mountains, the gigantic bug on the tortoise's head, that strangely amiable man, the prophecy of the Revelation of Revelations, and the sudden godly energy that came when the seal was being repaired …
Her mind was getting more and more chaotic, until the gigantic tortoise's figure gradually appeared in front of her eyes, and within the fog, that man was still looking at her with a kind smile.
A 'ding' sound suddenly rang in her mind. Everything instantly connected into a single line, and all the confusion and puzzlement instantly disappeared.
Zhu Yao, who knew the truth, simply wanted to say this!
The hell! (To be continued)
