The second day.
When Zhu Yao waved at Wang Xuzhi who was flying over, he lost his balance and almost fell off his sword.
"Big sis Zhu Yao … Your, your cultivation?!" His eyes must be playing tricks on him. She was clearly still at the Foundation stage a few days ago, how did she suddenly become a Demigod Paragon?
"Haah, little wimp, life is just so unpredictable!" She patted on his shoulders.
Wang Xuzhi had a conflicted look, and only after a while did he sigh. "Then big sis Zhu Yao, when do you plan on ascending to the Higher Realm?"
"Tomorrow. I'm afraid that a long night might bring trouble, so I'm telling you first." Zhu Yao looked around. "Oh right, have you seen Bai Yuan?" It had been a few days since she last saw that beastie. In the past, he would still run to her window and offer her some flowers, but these few days, he had completely disappeared.
"I don't know either. Sovereign Bai Yuan's whereabouts have always been erratic." Wang Xuzhi pondered for a moment. "However, recently, Sesame has been with him."
Since when did Sesame become so friendly with other beasties?
Just as she was about to look for Sesame, Yue Ying walked over. "Big sis Yao, you're out of closed-door training."
"Yue Ying, you came at the right time." Zhu Yao waved at him, and told him about her ascension tomorrow.
Yue Ying's expression instantly darkened. He looked straight into her eyes and 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 away again?"
Zhu Yao was startled. She reached out her hand to stroke his head. "What nonsense are you saying? I'm just ascending. Can't you go to the Divine Realm as well?"
"Divine Realm …" He suddenly raised his head and smiled. However, his smile did not reach his eyes. "Big sis Yao, what if I say, I can't go to the Divine Realm?"
"Ah?" What did he mean? Zhu Yao did not understand for a moment.
Wang Xuzhi however frowned. He suddenly took a step forward and changed the topic. "Yue Ying, do you know where Sesame went?"
Yue Ying did not reply. He simply looked at Zhu Yao like a stubborn child as he tugged onto the corner of her clothes, wanting an answer no matter what.
"Yue Ying?" Zhu Yao faintly felt that something was wrong with him, but she could not put her finger on it. She sighed and explained. "Master can't stay in the Lower Realm for too long. He fainted before, so I have to hurry and return to the Higher Realm. Be good, I'll wait for you in the Upper Realm. "
He frowned, and threw a tantrum like a child. "Big sis Yao promised that she wouldn't abandon me again. If he wants to go back, he can go back by himself. "
"Yue Ying, stop messing around!" Zhu Yao was a little furious. Pulling away his hand, she turned to look at little wimp. "Let's go look for Sesame first!"
"En!" Wang Xuzhi nodded and flew up with her. Turning back to look at | Yue Yin who was still standing at his original spot, he discovered that the other party was looking straight at him. His heart skipped a beat for no reason, and even his flying sword became a little unstable.
"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao held onto him. "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing …" He smiled, and then hesitantly spoke up. "Big sis Zhu Yao, before you came to Spiritual Realm, did I see Yue Ying somewhere?"
"Why do you ask?" There's something wrong with this nostalgic expression. She suddenly thought of something. "You can't really have feelings for my Yue Ying …"
"Big sis Zhu Yao!" He instantly exploded.
"I didn't say anything."
Wang Xuzhi sighed. After pondering for a moment, he said. "I simply feel like I have a very familiar feeling towards him, as though … as though I've met him in my previous life."
"Little wimp!" Zhu Yao glanced at him and said. "What fate, it's all a lie. Don't believe everything that books say. Finding a girl is the way of the king. "
"…"
— — — —
Zhu Yao searched for an entire day, yet, she was unable to find even the shadow of those two beasts. Zhu Yao gritted her teeth, and immediately used the contract to forcefully summon Sesame over. Initially, she had only planned on asking it about Bai Yuan's whereabouts, but in the end, the power of the contract instantly pulled the two beasties over.
Bai Yuan was on top, while Sesame was below. The two beasties, one upside down and one upside down, fell down.
This situation …
It's a little ambiguous!
No!
Bai Yuan is a male beast. Two male beasts, what kind of shameful things did you two do!?
"Mistress …" The moment Sesame saw her, it crawled up with a whoosh, and hid behind her with lightning speed. With a wronged look, it said. "Lord Bai Yuan is too much. He insisted on keeping that thing in my body. This beastie is about to explode from being stuffed!"
What did she hear? Just what indescribable things did you two do, hey!?
"What!?" She grabbed onto its tail, and roared. "Then, is your chrysanthemum still there?"
Bai Yuan: …
Wang Xuzhi: …
Sesame: Did mistress say something immoral earlier? Why did it feel its chrysanthemum tightening?
Bai Yuan shyly glanced at Zhu Yao, and then walked towards her. Its initially white beast, was beginning to turn pink.
This shy little gaze, this ambiguous reaction, there was definitely something going on! She hugged onto Sesame's beast head, and said with a heart filled with guilt. "I'm sorry, mistress did not protect your chrysanthemum well."
Bai Yuan: …
Wang Xuzhi: …
Sesame: …
"Ao ~ ~" Bai Yuan suddenly hissed, and roared at Sesame. Seeing Sesame retreating out of fear from Zhu Yao's embrace, it let out a "wuuu" sound, and spat out a pearl from its mouth.
That pearl was at least the size of a fist, round and pure white. Its entire body was even emitting out a faint silver light, as though it could emit light. A warm and refreshing aura faintly seeped out from within, and it was extremely beautiful, if not for the fact that its saliva was still dripping on it.
"Inner Core!" Little wimp stared at Bai Yuan with a shocked look. "Lord, you …"
"Meow …" It used its head to push the pearl, and rolled towards her, looking as though it was hoping that she would pick it up.
"For me?"
Bai Yuan strongly nodded.
"You're crazy!" Zhu Yao glared at it. "Can an inner core be casually given to others?" The inner core was the crystallization of its cultivation, it would die if it were to spit it out so casually, right?
"Wuuuuuuu …" Sesame took the opportunity to cry. "Earlier, Lord Bai Yuan insisted that I bring its inner core and follow you to the Higher Realm. I wasn't willing, and he even bit me … "
Uh … So earlier, weren't you two fighting with the pixies?
"Hurry and keep it!" Zhu Yao reached out her hand to stroke its beast head. It seemed like it had long known that she was going to ascend. "I have no use for your inner core!"
"Ouuu ~ ~ Ouuuu ~ ~" It shook its head.
Sesame acted as the translator. "Lord said, if you bring its inner core with you, it will be able to look for you to play at any time."
"…" Who wants to play with you? "Demonic beasts will die if they don't have inner cores!"
"Ouuu ~ ~"
"He said, it has a lot of these, you can play with them however you want."
"Ah!" You must be joking.
In the next moment, Bai Yuan let out a 'wuuu' sound, and spat out a string of white pearls that looked exactly the same, piling up into a pile.
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She turned to look at little wimp. "Are you sure … these are all its inner cores?" Are you kidding me? Whose inner cores would grow into a pile? Do you think you're a peashooter!?
Wang Xuzhi: "…"
— — — —
Bai Yuan wanted to gift her an inner core, and she rejected it in the beginning. However, she could not stand it as it rolled on the ground, crying out pitifully, without the slightest bit of dignity as a guardian beast. In the end, even Sesame could not stand it any longer, as it hugged onto her thigh.
"Mistress, just agree to it! Otherwise, I want to roll on the ground. Don't worry, Lord Bai Yuan isn't a normal beastie, nothing will happen to him. I guarantee it with my chrysanthemum! "
"…"
Your chrysanthemum had long been thrown away along with your morals, alright?
She casually picked one up, and when she brought it back for her master to appraise, that huge pile was indeed an inner core. Zhu Yao felt that she needed to cram on her common sense.
In a blink of an eye, Bai Yuan was evidently a demonic beast raised by the River of Forgetfulness, and the River of Forgetfulness was acquainted with Realmspirit, so it was very normal for it to have such an ability.
Wait a minute!
Bai Yuan, Bai Yuan …
It couldn't be the source of the River of Forgetfulness, right?
Why did the NPCs of this world have such random names!?
Her master told her to place Bai Yuan's inner core in her divine sense to nourish it. This way, Bai Yuan's spiritual energy would not be depleted.
On the second day, she was already prepared to ascend.
Bai Yuan arrived very early, and simply let out a cry. As though something had been removed from the sky, the layers began to recede. Zhu Yao and her master released the spiritual pressure of a Demigod Paragon, and in the sky that was split open, tribulation lightning bolts began to roll.
Eighty-one by nine, multiplied by two, the nine heavenly lightning bolts struck down.
That's right, all of them landed on her!
Eighty-one by two, plus one, was about to strike down.
Zhu Yao glared at the tribulation lightning bolt which was evidently high from being struck. "Hey, that's enough, hey!" Do you even know how to count!?
That lightning bolt, with its little white tail, was extinguished with a bang!
Then, a golden pillar of light broke through the clouds. The Light of Guidance, instantly struck onto the two of them. Zhu Yao felt her body lighten, and just as she was about to ascend, something tightened beside her.
"Big Sis Yao!" Yue Ying suddenly reached out his hand to grab onto the corner of her robe, and looked at her with hazy eyes. "You said before, you won't abandon Yue Ying."
Zhu Yao's heart ached, as she stroked his head. "Be obedient, Sesame will accompany you. When you can ascend to the Higher Realm, it will naturally bring you to find me."
He stiffened for a moment, yet his grip grew even tighter. Suddenly, he smiled. It was not the warm and gentle smile he usually had, instead, it carried a hint of craziness. "Big Sis Yao … You lied to me again. Why do you have to abandon me as well …"
Her heart clenched, as she suddenly had a bad premonition. She wanted to reach out her hand to pull him. "Yue Ying …"
"Big sis, I have always wanted to ask you. Just what is Yue Ying to you? You said I'm your little brother, your kin. But you can risk your life for Yu Yan, and you can die for Wang Xuzhi. Why don't you ever turn around to look at me? "
"Yue Ying, I …"
"You said you didn't like Yue Ying killing people, so Yue Ying didn't kill people. You said Yue Ying should first learn how to be a human, so Yue Ying desperately trained in human practitioner Mystic Arts. But why, you still have to abandon me … "
"Last time, it was for Wang Xuzhi. This time, it's for Yu Yan. What will it be for next time? Has Yue Ying always been abandoned by you? "
"No! No! " Zhu Yao was a little flustered, as she stepped forward to hold onto his hand. This child was selfish, and liked to get himself into a dead end. She suddenly felt a little regretful that she did not spend more time to explain things to him. She clearly knew how sensitive of a child Yue Ying was. "Listen to me, I'm not abandoning you …"
"I don't believe it!" Yue Ying smiled at her, and his smile was as though the entire world had lost its color. "Big Sis Yao, you always say that you will return, but you always abandon Yue Ying. I don't want to believe in you anymore, I only believe in myself! "
His voice sank, and suddenly, the devillic aura on his body instantly exploded. The ground shook, sand and rocks flew, and the world turned dark. His face that was usually as gentle as jade was filled with hostility. Clear black markings were currently crawling on his face, and the cold aura around his body caused her to feel cold. He grabbed onto her hand, and leaned closer. "Big Sis Yao, do you know why I can't go to the Higher Realm?"
Zhu Yao's heart sank. She had never seen Yue Ying like this before.
"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan flew over, and grabbed onto his disciple. With a turn of his body, he had already retreated several meters away, and vigilantly looked at Yue Ying who was already surrounded by devillic aura.
Little wimp and Zi Mo had shocked expressions as well, as they looked at Yue Ying dumbfoundedly. "Big Sis Zhu Yao, he … He's a Devil?"
"Yue Ying, calm down a little." The depths of Zhu Yao's heart was in a mess. This selfish child actually went berserk just like that?
Yue Ying's smile grew even more unbridled. He coldly glanced at Yu Yan, and suddenly, he slowly walked towards them. With every step he took, the devillic aura on his body would grow heavier, and the surrounding flowers and trees would instantly wither.
His smile instantly faded, and in a flash, he suddenly appeared behind Wang Xuzhi. With a single hand, he grabbed onto Wang Xuzhi's neck and lifted him up. Little wimp instantly lost the strength to retaliate, and his entire body was enveloped by devillic aura. "Big Sis Yao, will you be able to see me after I kill these hindrances …"
"Yue Ying, stop!" Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to fly over. However, she was held back by Yu Yan, who was behind her. She had no choice but to shout out loudly. "Don't be rash, hurry and release little wimp."
"Release?" He was startled for a moment, and then, as though he suddenly recalled something. "Big Sis Yao, have you ever wondered why I can't go to the Divine Realm?"
Zhu Yao was startled, as she did not understand why he would suddenly ask such a question.
"The Divine Realm is a place where mortals ascend. I'm a Devil, so unless I open the World Crossing Door, I'm basically unable to reach the Divine Realm. I researched for a long time, before I finally found the method to open the World Crossing Door, and found big sis. However, I realized a problem. I can't open the World Crossing Door again, because my soul isn't complete. " He said these words as though he was chatting idly, but the devillic aura on his body grew thicker, as though it was about to materialize. "In the past, I didn't know why this was the case? But now, I know. Little sister … "
Zhu Yao's heart trembled, as she fiercely widened her eyes. "Shao Bai!"
"Not yet. After I kill him, my missing soul will return to my body."
"Big Sis Yao, didn't you wish for me to hurry and reunite with you in the Higher Realm?" He suddenly said with a stern look. "It's just that my soul isn't complete, and he's the part of my missing soul. After killing him, I can open the World Crossing Door and find big sis. "
Xuzhi was Yue Ying's missing soul? Zhu Yao was startled, as she suddenly recalled the scene Realmspirit showed her. When Shao Bai came out of the God Realm, the two lumps of light that split into two.
"Yue Ying, can we talk things out? There's nothing that can't be discussed clearly. Release little wimp first, big sis will promise you. Let's not go to the Higher Realm first. "
