"Hey, girly." She bumped her arm and raised her brows. "Thank you for earlier. What's your name? Let's be friends. I'm Ying Luo. "
Why did she feel like she was a woman from a good family being teased? "Auntie, we're not dating!" She was straight.
"Ah?" The girl Ying Luo was stunned.
Zhu Yao took a few steps forward and cast an art to restore the formation on the pool to its original state. Then, she took out a high-grade Substitute Talisman and pulled the girl's hand. "Let me borrow your hand." A white light flashed on her fingertip, instantly slicing open a bloody line on her hand. She then dripped a drop of blood onto the talisman.
"Ssss …" The girl took a deep breath, but did not resist. Instead, she looked at her actions curiously.
Zhu Yao threw the talisman into the pool, and it instantly activated. With a flash of red light, the talisman instantly turned into the girl's appearance. Just like before, she closed her eyes and laid on the surface of the pool. The chains that broke earlier seemed to have come to life, as they heavily coiled around the girl.
She had long prepared this Substitute Talisman. Initially, she had planned to use it to deceive the girl when she woke up.
"Ou ~ ~"

The girl exclaimed. Looking at her actions, her eyes shone. "Not bad. So you're actually this amazing? Oh right, just what's your cultivation level? "
Zhu Yao turned to look at her, and was about to reply.
However, she then patted on her shoulder, and added with a prideful look. "Oh, right. I was a Nascent Soul practitioner in the past. However, because my soul has left my body for too long, I'm only at the Foundation stage now."
"Demigod."
"Ah?"
"My cultivation level is at the Demigod stage."
The girl lost her balance, and knelt down with a thud.
— — — —
"Girl, come here. Let's talk about life." Zhu Yao waved her hand towards her.
However, the girl instantly cowered, and looked at her with an awkward look.
"So … Sovereign, thank you for saving me." She politely bowed towards her.
"Enough, your avatar has already been exposed." The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. Wasn't it a little too late to talk about rules with her now? Pulling the girl to the side, she squatted down, and activated her understanding big sister mode. "I know you're the Ying Luo who sealed the Devil. I just want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?"
"I am a disciple of Forgotten God Palace, so naturally, I will return to the sect." The girl said with a matter-of-fact expression, as she smiled. "That place is my home after all."
"I have no objections if you wish to return to Forgotten God Palace, but you cannot use Ying Luo's identity."
"Why?" She was confused.
"Sister." Zhu Yao patted on her shoulders, and said with a heavy tone. "It has already been more than nine hundred years. In the minds of the people of the world, you have long turned into a seal and perished together with the Devil. Now that you've reappeared, what do you think others will think? "
The girl's eyes widened. "But the demon's seal didn't …"
"I know the seal hasn't been removed." Zhu Yao looked at her. "But will others believe it?"
"…" The girl turned silent. She wasn't stupid, so naturally, she could understand what Zhu Yao was saying.
"You must know, fear is a very terrifying thing."
The girl was silent for a moment, before letting out a deep sigh. "You're right, I indeed cannot return to my previous identity." Raising her head, she looked at the incarnation that looked exactly like her in the pool. "Then, Sovereign, what do you think I should do?" She was naturally able to guess that the reason why this Sovereign did all of this, was to help her conceal her identity. However, she did not understand why she wanted to help her.
"There's no need for you to doubt me. I naturally have my own reasons for doing this." Zhu Yao took out the fan she obtained in Illusory Realm Island. Opening the fan, she revealed the faintly floating devilish aura. "You should recognize this, right?"
"This is!" Ying Luo was stunned. Wasn't this the mystic artifact used to seal the Devil? Why was it in her hands?
Zhu Yao turned her head, and looked at her with a stern expression. "If I were to say that I'm a God, would you believe me?" She had long thought of an excuse.
She was startled for a moment, and then, she suddenly widened her eyes. She sized Zhu Yao up with a look of disbelief, and could not help but reach out her hand to touch her forehead. "Sovereign, are you sick!?"
The hell!
"I'm being serious here!" She slapped down her hand.
"Sovereign, my cultivation level is low, don't lie to me. A true God knows sealing arts. If you know them, back then, why would I have to … "
Before she could even finish, Zhu Yao flipped her hand, and a golden mystic seal appeared in front of the fan. The fan which was still flowing with devilish energy earlier, instantly dissipated all of the devilish energy. Even the black fan had instantly reverted back to white, turning back into a regular mystic artifact.
"Your esteemed mother, you really know how to!" Ying Luo was completely stunned.
Can't you remove the profanity when praising someone?
"I merely repaired and perfected the seal on this fan." Zhu Yao continued to fool her. "I'll tell you the truth then. The reason why I'm helping you, is completely to find those five mystic artifacts. I have a way to deal with this Devil once and for all. As long as the Devil is dealt with, you will be able to openly appear in front of everyone. "
She looked at the fan, and then looked at Zhu Yao. After pondering for a long while, she gritted her teeth and patted on her shoulder. "Alright, big sis. This old lady will fight with you! "
Why did she feel as though she had established a gang? This must be her imagination.
"I will look for the mystic artifacts myself. You just have to be careful not to be discovered by others."
The girl smiled. "After all, this matter is related to me, so how can I let you go alone? No need to persuade me, no matter what, I have to do my part."
"…" Why did she feel as though she was being glued to an idiot?
— — — —
Zhu Yao stuck an Invisibility Talisman on the girl, and on the way, she went to Sword Seeking Mountain to find some materials. Retrieving the Metal Spirit, she stopped the rampage of those spiritual swords. She then swaggered back to Forgotten God Palace, and plunged straight into the artifact refining room. After toiling for three days, she finally managed to refine a bracelet that could hide the girl's true appearance.
Bringing her along, she immediately sprinted to the side of the pool. In the water was a girl who looked to be about twenty years old. She was no longer as breathtakingly beautiful as before, but she could still be considered delicate and pleasant. Her height was a little shorter than before as well. She looked all the way down, until her line of sight stopped at the chest that did not change in the slightest. Then, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhu Yao.
Momma's egg, why did she feel so displeased?
The moment she walked out of the artifact refining room, she bumped into the agitated Wen Yu. "Old Ancestor, you're back."
"We're about to leave."
His face instantly sank. "Old Ancestor, the new batch of disciples is about to ascend the mountain. Why don't you take in a disciple to play with before leaving?"
What the hell was' play with '? Zhu Yao pulled Ying Luo who was at the side over as a shield. "I have already taken in a disciple."
"Ah!?" Wen Yu was dumbfounded. He sized up Ying Luo for a moment. "She … She's …"
"I'm called Ying …" The girl who acted familiar took a step forward. Just as she was about to speak, Zhu Yao covered her mouth, and the words that were about to come out of her mouth instantly changed. "Ying Yingying …"
"Old Ancestor?" Wen Yu looked back and forth between the two, and for a moment, he did not understand the situation.
"That's right, she's called Ying Ying."
"…" The corner of Wen Yu's lips twitched. Yin Yinying? What a strange name.
"Wen Yu!" Zhu Yao patted on his shoulder, and said with a heavy tone. "This disciple of mine is someone that I took great pains to choose. Her resources are so good that nothing can be said about it. In the future, when she advances into a Demigod, there won't be any problems at all. "Wen Yu's eyes instantly shone." I have decided to nurture her carefully. "
"Old Ancestor is right." He nodded repeatedly, his face filled with excitement. So the reason why Old Ancestor left the mountain the last time, was to choose a disciple for our sect. I'm so touched. What should I do?
"You know as well that I was a wandering practitioner in the past, and this cultivation method is different from others. So, in order to nurture a good disciple, I need to bring her out for some training." Zhu Yao continued to fool him.
Wen Yu immediately took a step back, and did not stop them. He wished that she could immediately leave, and then return with two Demigods. "Old Ancestor, have a pleasant journey."
This time, Zhu Yao was no longer in a hurry to leave, as she said with a troubled look. "Matters like cultivation have always been difficult. Not a single one of them can be lacking in luck, aptitude, and luck. I believe we will definitely encounter many difficulties on this path. Furthermore, I was a wandering practitioner in the past, and as for my family background … I'm afraid it will be quite inconvenient. "Can you give me a salary?
Without saying another word, Wen Yu pulled out the storage pouch next to him and stuffed it into her hands. "Old Ancestor, you can just go. I will take care of everything in the sect."
"I'll leave it to you, Palace Master Wen." Her face was solemn.
"Mn!" Wen Yu nodded heavily.
Zhu Yao pulled the girl Ying Luo, and flew away on her flying sword.
— — — —
They headed west. As Zhu Yao flew on her flying sword, she pulled out a spiritual sword and handed it over. "Take this. I practiced this while I was refining that bracelet of yours."
Ying Luo was startled for a moment. As though she had regained her senses, she received it.
Zhu Yao turned to look at her, and nudged her. "What's wrong?" Why did she suddenly become quiet? She was really not used to it.
"Wen Yu, is he the Palace Master of Forgotten God Palace?" She suddenly asked.
"Of course he is."
"Then … What about the former Palace Master?"
"Isn't that obvious?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at her. "Naturally, she's either ascended, or she's dead."
"Dead …" Ying Luo frowned. After a long while, she let out a deep sigh. "So she's already dead."
Zhu Yao was startled. Looking at her relieved look, she suddenly recalled that in the scenario, she seemed to be the younger sister of the Forgotten God Palace Master. Though it was said that relationships between deity practitioners had always been shallow, she was still a good young lady with a proper bloodline. When she finally woke up, her only kin had already passed away. It was understandable for her to sigh.
"Do you know where the next mystic artifact is?" Zhu Yao changed the topic. She had only found out that it was in the west, but she was not clear of its exact location.
The girl did not remain depressed for long, before she recovered. "If I'm not wrong, it should be in the Heavenly Feather Clan."
"Heavenly Feather Clan?" What's that?
"The Heavenly Feather Clan lives within the barrier of the western continent. It is rumored that their clan is the descendant of the divine beast, the phoenix. They are born with wings, and are able to soar in the Nine Heavens. "
The descendant of the phoenix? Why does everyone in this world have descendants? Is it really alright to act so recklessly?
"The Heavenly Feather Clan has always had a violent temper, and they don't get along with human practitioners. If we were to barge in like this, we will definitely be attacked by everyone."
"Why didn't you say so earlier!?" It's good to make some preparations.
"You didn't ask either!"
"…" Can I send this idiot back to the sacred pond?
"We're here!" She suddenly called out.
A large piece of land suddenly appeared in the sky. With a single glance, they could not see the end of it, as though it was a floating city in the sky. They immediately stepped onto that piece of land. However, before they could even take a few steps, they were blocked by a transparent wall, and they were unable to advance any further.
Zhu Yao walked back and forth a few times, yet, she was still unable to discern just what kind of formation this was. The two of them were at a loss for a moment.
"What should we do?"
"If we forcefully break through, we will definitely be discovered." The girl pondered for a moment, before suggesting. "Why don't we directly use a defensive-type mystic artifact, and fuse a layer of defensive formations onto this barrier? We can then use the gap created by the formation to directly charge in."
"You're saying, we should use the opportunity of fusing mystic artifacts to forcefully add a formation core to this barrier?"
The girl nodded. "If it's just a defensive-type mystic artifact and not an offensive one, we won't be discovered."
"Good idea?" Zhu Yao gave a thumbs up. "But … I don't have a defensive-type mystic artifact."
"Didn't you take a storage pouch from Wen Yu earlier?"
Oh right, she had even forgotten about her salary. She hurriedly took out that pouch, and began to fish out the items one by one.
Spirit stones — Mn, I can't use this for now.
Medicinal pellet — Mn, this can be used to save the girl's life.
Mystic talisman — Mid-grade mystic talisman. It's not very useful, so I'll give it to the girl as well.
Fourth rank flight mystic artifact — Spiritual sword, substandard.
Fifth rank defensive mystic artifact — Dudou!!!
Zhu Yao: "…"
Ying Luo: "…"
Wen Yu's taste, was a little heavy!
"Kuh …" The girl Ying Luo received that piece of bright red cloth, and said with a stern look. "This shouldn't be his. Look, the symbol embroidered on this dudou isn't the symbol of Forgotten God Palace. It definitely belongs to another female practitioner …" Halfway through her explanation, she paused, and her expression turned even more awkward.
Wasn't this even more serious, alright? If it wasn't him, then who could it be? A gift from another female practitioner? And it was snatched from someone else? How did they snatch such a personal garment? And what were they supposed to do about it?
What should she do? The hole in her brain was too big, and she couldn't even stop it.
She never expected that Wen Yu would still be so fashionable despite his age!
"Why don't we take a look at what else is inside?" Zhu Yao said.
"Sure!" The girl's eyes instantly shone, turning into a gossipy mode.
The two of them flipped the storage pouch upside down with excited looks. Unfortunately, other than a few low rank spiritual swords and a few sets of male mystic robes, there were no other unknown objects.
Haah …
The two of them sighed. What a pity. (Wen Yu: …)
"Let's use this then." Zhu Yao picked up the dudou and placed it at the side. Circulating her spiritual energy, she activated the defensive formation on it, and then guided the formation towards the barrier. A bright light flashed, and a human-sized circular figure suddenly appeared in the transparent barrier.
"Now!" Zhu Yao shouted, as she charged in together with Ying Luo.
A moment later, the barrier had already returned to normal. However, on the transparent barrier, there was an additional red dudou fluttering in the wind.
Zhu Yao: …
Ying Luo: …
