The two of them returned to the border, where the wind blades were still howling. Previously, she didn't feel that there was anything special about the wind, but this time, she subconsciously released her divine sense, only to find that as soon as her divine sense came into contact with the wind blade, it automatically dispersed. As expected of the universal DEL erase key.
"Let's go." Zhu Yao took a step towards Sesame, and gestured for him to open the strange mechanism in his hands.
After waiting for a moment, she realized that there was no reaction. Zhu Yao turned to look, and he was actually in a daze. This clown who couldn't stay still could actually be in a daze as well!
She couldn't help but raise her hand and knock on its head. "What are you doing? Open it! " She remembered that there were two guards, one red and one yellow, nearby. What if she was discovered if she dragged on?
Sesame choked from her smack, as though it had just regained its senses. "Ah!? Oh! " It responded and spun the black cylinder in its hand. With a few swishing sounds, a black metallic sphere appeared around the two of them and enveloped them.
Zhu Yao thought that it would be very dark inside, but unexpectedly, it was actually transparent from the inside, and everything in the surroundings could be seen clearly. She couldn't help but poke them. They were like scales and were quite hard. Sesame, on the other hand, was only left with a small black block that looked like a building block.
"This is the formation core. Just press it, and it will be restored." Sesame explained.
"Ou." Zhu Yao nodded. Without saying anything else, she immediately walked forward. Sesame immediately followed. As it moved, the entire protective barrier moved forward as well. It was pretty intelligent. Zhu Yao was a little excited. This was high technology, and it was a little similar to modern technology. It turned out that the ancient mechanism technique was not limited to the nine-grid five-character chess!
They walked into the Realm Tide and found that the barrier was very practical. The wind blades immediately scattered when they hit it. There wasn't even an echo. Occasionally, when it encountered a strong gust of wind, it would produce a very small muffled sound.
Zhu Yao's initially tense heart immediately relaxed. She did not know how far this Realm Tide was either. He wanted to return as soon as possible, but he noticed that the beast holding the switch was walking slower and slower. From time to time, he would tilt his head, but he would immediately turn his head back. She looked as if she wanted to look but didn't want to. A good journey had turned into a stroll. In the end, it was like a tortoise crawling.
Zhu Yao simply stopped, and let out a deep sigh. "Sesame!"
"Ah?"
"Come over here." Zhu Yao picked up the person next to her. He turned around and walked back, walking out of the Realm Tide and back to the starting point. She snatched the switch from his hand and returned it to its cylindrical shape. Then, she pointed in the direction of the Demonic Immortal Palace and said. "You go back first. I'll return to Lightning Divine Hall by myself."
"Mistress …" Sesame was startled for a moment, and then, it immediately revealed a wronged look. "Are you going to abandon beastie again?"
"Scram!" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at it. "If you can't bear to, then go look for her yourself. It doesn't matter if you're shameless or not, you're good at it anyway. If you like her, then f * cking chase after her. Why are you delaying me and hesitating? Are you even a man? "
"No!" Sesame said with a serious look. "I'm just a male beastie."
"…" F * ck! "Is this the time to care about these details? I'm letting you make the decision. Don't keep nagging. You're giving me a headache. Just tell me if you like Gong Lan or not. "
Sesame's entire face instantly collapsed, and it said with a wronged and conflicted look. "I … I don't know either. I … really hate her. "
"Just because she's stronger than you. Did she bully you when you were young? "Zhu Yao rolled her eyes at it.
"Mn." Sesame's head lowered even further. A moment later, it solemnly replied. "I bullied her quite a bit when I grew up …"
Zhu Yao let out a long sigh. This idiot whose EQ was low. "Sesame, have you ever thought about why you mind her beating you up so much?"
He was startled for a moment, and then, he raised his head.
Zhu Yao solemnly said. "You're a demonic beast. You must have experienced a lot of killing. Could it be that she's the only one who beat you up? Why do you only hate her? "
"That's different." Sesame argued.
"How is it different?"
"I'm not familiar with the other beasties, so I don't have the mood to hate them. Furthermore, I did beat them back in the end. "
"Then what about me?" Zhu Yao looked at it. "I'm stronger than you as well, and I often beat you up as well. Do you hate me?"
"You don't count. You're the mistress! We have a contract. "
"Fine!" Zhu Yao nodded. "Then I'll change to another one. What about my master? He tortured you the moment he saw you. Do you hate him? "
"I hate him!"
Zhu Yao threw a potsticker at it. "This old man is being serious with you."
Sesame felt wronged as it rubbed its head. It wasn't like it wasn't being serious either?
"Then let me put it in another way." Zhu Yao solemnly said. "That girly Gong Lan is stronger than you, but it's not like you can't catch up to her cultivation. If one day, your cultivation surpasses hers, what do you want to do?"
"Defeat her, of course." Sesame's eyes shone.
"And then?"
"And then …" Sesame frowned. After pondering for a moment, it said. "And then … And then, do everything she did to me in the past."
"For example?"
"For example, snatch away her enemies, and chase away all of her opponents, so that she would never have the chance to make a move again. Then, chase away all of the male beasties that approach her. Who asked them to flaunt their prowess in front of me? Every single day, they would stare at her, and the moment she's in trouble, they would immediately rush out, not giving her the chance to show off. And then, they would … "He paused halfway through his words, as though he had sensed something was amiss with his words as well, as his face stiffened.
Zhu Yao smiled, and immediately exposed his thoughts. "You want to protect her."
"…" His eyes suddenly widened, and his face was filled with disbelief. How was that possible, he didn't …
"Just why are you treating Gong Lan so differently? Have you ever seriously thought about it?" Zhu Yao continued. "You said you hate her for always charging ahead of you, you hate her for stealing your limelight, and you hate her for having a higher cultivation level than you. And all of these are built on the foundation that your cultivation level is lower than hers. If your cultivation level is higher, you would do the same for her as well. You're just unhappy that the person charging ahead isn't you. What you hate isn't her, but the feeling of having no choice but to hide behind her. Sesame, what you hate isn't her, but your powerless self, right? "
"…" He sank into silence. His face shook, as though he had sunk into some sort of daze.
Towards a person like this who couldn't understand, Zhu Yao had no choice but to add fuel to the fire. "But you don't have to worry now. She has already decided to draw a line between you and her. In the future, no one will charge ahead of you, no one will steal your limelight, no one will beat you up … Oh. Of course. " She smiled and continued, "She might do the same in the future, but … the beast behind her. It's not you anymore. "
"No!" Sesame's face was filled with panic.
"Why not? There aren't many female Demonic Immortals. Without you, she has more choices. Maybe she can find someone stronger than her, and someone will protect her in the future. "
"I can do it too!" Sesame anxiously argued. "My cultivation is already about the same as hers. It's just that in the lower realms, when I recover … "
"So what if I recover? She doesn't care anymore. "
"…" His face instantly turned pale.
"Sesame …" Zhu Yao patted on its shoulder. In the end, it was her family's beastie, so she could not bear to see it alone. "Admit it! What you hate is not her, but the gap between the two of you. You are afraid that if she is too far away from you, you will not be able to catch up. You hated the fact that you could only hide behind her. You were afraid that you weren't good enough for her. But have you ever thought that she might have been waiting for you on the road all along? You can see the distance when you look back. Don't let your inferiority complex become a sharp weapon to hurt each other. If it's cut too deeply, she will feel pain as well. "
"Mistress …" Sesame raised its head even more blankly, and looked at her with teary eyes. "What you're saying … I don't understand a single word!"
"The hell!" Zhu Yao wanted to pinch it to death. The chicken soup she cooked for so long, had all been poured into the gutter.
"Mistress, what should we do?" Sesame looked as though he was about to cry. "What if she really goes to bully others? The moment I think of it … I feel a little strange … She's so violent, the other beasties won't be able to stand her. Only I can … I don't want her to bully other beasties. "
Fortunately, she could still be saved!
"Then go snatch her back." Zhu Yao said. "Go back and hug her thigh. Just do what you did to Gong Lan in the past. That's all you have to do."
"This way, she won't bully other beasties?"
Zhu Yao nodded. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head. She still had to give this stupid beast a push. "This isn't enough. You have to have an honorable identity, only then will you be able to get rid of future troubles."
"What identity?"
"Marry her!"
"…"
Sesame was silent for a moment, his eyes however grew clearer. Suddenly, as though he had understood something, he immediately reverted to his original form. "Mistress, I can't accompany you back to Lightning Divine Hall."
"Mn." Zhu Yao nodded and waved her hands. Go and be tortured, young man!
Sesame flew one round in the air. Suddenly, he thought of something and turned back. A gigantic egg then appeared in front of her. "Mistress, I'll gift this egg to you."
After saying that, he flapped his wings and hurriedly rushed back. A moment later, he disappeared without a trace.
Zhu Yao: "…" Did she look like a warehouse?
— — — —
Zhu Yao turned to look at the egg at the side. Suddenly, she thought of something, and her eyes sank. Her brows deeply furrowed. She lowered her head to look at the mechanism in her hands, and then immediately turned it on. Without even looking at the egg behind her, she immediately walked into the Realm Tide.
Just when Zhu Yao's figure was about to disappear into the wind blades, the white egg suddenly moved. With a grumble, it immediately chased after her. About three to four steps away from her, it blindly followed behind her.
Zhu Yao naturally heard the sound behind her, but she did not care about it. She did not even turn back as she quickened her footsteps and walked out of the Realm Tide. However, her brows furrowed even deeper.
As expected …
This Realm Tide was very wide. Adding that she could not cast any arts or fly on her sword, Zhu Yao had to walk for a total of six hours before she could faintly see patches of green ahead. She finally reached the end. She heaved a sigh of relief. She quickened her footsteps and walked out. In front of her was a familiar yet unfamiliar forest.
She walked for a distance, and only when she was a little further away from the Realm Tide did she remove the protective barrier on her body and return to her cylindrical form. That white egg rolled out of the Realm Tide as well, and it still stopped about three to four steps away from her.
Zhu Yao simply felt a sense of irritation in the depths of her heart. Since she could not fly on her sword, she could only cast an art and shrink into the forest. However, no matter how fast she walked or how slow she was, that egg still followed behind her at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, and did not fall behind in the slightest.
Finally, Zhu Yao could no longer endure it. She stopped at the exit of the forest and let out a long sigh. "Just how long are you going to follow me for …" She turned around and looked at that egg. "Yue Ying."
That egg stiffened for a moment, and then stopped on the spot.
A moment later, a black light flashed in Zhu Yao's hand. That cylindrical mechanism turned into a ray of light and entered the egg. The egg that was initially white, slowly turned black. The egg that only had an aura earlier, suddenly began to show signs of life. Furthermore, it cracked open inch by inch, and an entirely pitch-black phoenix appeared from within.
In the next moment, that black phoenix once again turned into a familiar half-grown child. He was dressed in black and was extremely skinny. He looked like Yue Ying who had just come out of the ice for the first time, and Shao Bai who was walking out from the devilish energy that filled the sky. He opened his mouth, as though he wanted to say something.
Zhu Yao however did not want to hear it. She could not be bothered with him, and turned around to continue on her journey.
Yue Ying lowered his eyes a little disappointedly. He did not make a single sound, but he did not dare to fall behind as he followed from afar. If she was fast, he would be fast. If she was slow, he would be slow as well. It was as though he did not exist.
Zhu Yao intentionally chose a path that was harder to walk on, such as flipping over this huge rock, or stepping on that swamp. In the end, even though she was half dead from exhaustion, a certain someone still followed her blindly. There was a fire burning in her heart, yet she was unable to vent it out. She could only choose to ignore it.
She walked for an entire day and night, before she could faintly see a small market in front of her. At that moment, she heaved a sigh of relief, and decided to find a transportation tool. Since she could not fly back by herself, she should at least make a call … Ah pui, find a voice transmission talisman to inform her master to fetch her.
The market was pitifully small, and there were only three or four stalls. There were none that sold voice transmission talismans, but there was one that sold divine artifacts. She chose the lowest ranked first rank divine sword, and only after touching her pockets did she realize that she was a pauper.
"Senior." The stall owner was an Earth Deity, and he was rather courteous. "It's fine if you don't have divine stones. If you have items of equal value to exchange, that's fine as well."
"Exchange?" She could even barter with items.
"Heheh, it's just a small business." The stall owner's thoughts were rather wonderful. After all, the other party was a Profound Deity, and was a level higher than him. She would definitely have quite a few good items, and he might even be able to earn a sum of money. "Today is the first day of business. As long as senior can bring it out, anything can be exchanged."
Truly a pauper – Zhu Yao! She touched her entire body, but she could not even take out a single hair. Could it be that she really had to walk back to Lightning Divine Hall? Her legs would break, right? She turned to look at the "tail" behind her, and with a frown, she once again confirmed. "Can I really exchange anything?"
"Of course!" The stall owner patted his chest and guaranteed.
