Ji Zhiyuan's eyes were filled with endless coldness as she said, "Are you saying that you went into the water to catch fish? Fine, I'll send you down again. Don't come back if you can't catch fish! "
He was about to grab Yan Li's collar.
Yan Li retreated to the innermost part of the cave in fear. He forced a smile. "I'm not hungry anymore."
Ji Zhiyuan snorted coldly. The education she had received since she was young had taught her to control herself. This was because to be a true ruler, she had to hide her anger, sorrow, joy … all her agitated emotions in her heart. However, he was probably really annoyed by Yan Li, who was like a pig to him. That was why he kept a cold expression on his face.
Yan Li peeked outside. The battlefield was a mess. There were more than ten spiders. Even Ji Zhiyuan had to put in a lot of effort, but there were only seven or eight corpses.
"They managed to escape with your strength?"
Ji Zhiyuan said coldly, "See for yourself."
Yan Li did not understand. He stood up and walked over. There were more than ten bloodstains. Half of the corpses were replaced by Heaven Mystic Stones.
He suddenly realized, "Not all Star Fall Beasts can be turned into Heaven Mystic Stones."
All the Star Fall Beasts he had seen so far turned into Heaven Mystic Stones after they died. This was a new discovery.
"It's not just Heaven Mystic Stones. Look over there." Ji Zhiyuan pointed at a bloodstain by the pool.
Yan Li looked from afar. He did not see anything, but there seemed to be something reflecting light. He braced himself and walked to the pool. He squatted down to take a closer look. He was shocked. "Shadowless Starthread?"
A thin, almost invisible Shadowless Starthread lay quietly in the pool of blood. He picked it up, and the bloodstains on it slid off spontaneously, as if no filth could remain on it. Sure enough, the full appearance of the Starthread was revealed.
This Star Thread was only about seven inches long. Of course, it was not as heavy as a penny, but it opened a new door for Yan Li.
He originally thought that Starfall Beasts could only be turned into Heaven Mystic Stones. Li Ya's subsequent advancement would require an astronomical number of treasures. He was worried about whether he should go back to his old profession. Now that he had this path, he could find a place to hunt Starfall Beasts. Wouldn't he be able to gather enough treasures?
Of course, he was being too optimistic. Not every Fallen Star Beast could be turned into a treasure. Those that could make a soul stone or higher were all extremely talented and powerful. He was no match for even the weakest Fallen Star Beast.
"Let's go kill more spiders!" he said excitedly.
Ji Zhiyuan frowned, and he couldn't hide the exhaustion between his brows.
Only then did Yan Li remember that not only did she have to save him from the water, but she also had to protect him from the big spiders. She didn't know how hard it was. Her heart was instantly filled with warmth, and her voice naturally became gentle. "You must be tired today. Let's rest for the night and explore tomorrow. As long as we can leave this valley, we should be able to find the way out."
Ji Zhiyuan nodded and walked to the other side of the cave.
Before he knew it, it was already late at night.
Ji Zhiyuan woke up from his meditation and looked in the direction of the cave. The Qi of Heaven and Earth around Yan Li was unusually active. Obviously, she was in meditation and the process of polishing her Qi was the most focused. She shouldn't have noticed this side.
She thought for a while and gently took off all her clothes. She folded them and put them aside. Then she walked to the pool.
After killing so many big spiders, she had long wanted to take a bath. However, she was afraid that Yan Li would see her, so she chose this time. The clear water caressed her skin. It seemed to know how to protect the fairer sex. After she entered the water, it became very calm.
The valley was so quiet that it seemed to be another world.
Ji Zhiyuan's mind was unprecedentedly clear when all her tiredness was washed away by the water. Her unnecessary thoughts and emotions gradually dissipated. She looked up and saw a silver moon hanging high in the sky, sprinkling down its cold moonlight. The temperature of the moon was as cold as the water in a pond, clear and cold.
When a person was alone, he couldn't help but think of many things in the past.
When Ji Zhiyuan only thought of one thing, the voice appeared in his mind, and his mood became colder. At this moment, the emperor who racked his brains for the world came back.
People would occasionally lose themselves, but there would always be an opportunity to return to the right track. There was no God, no invisible hand fiddling, and no conspiracy. This was her own decision, and this was also fate itself.
Your decision is your fate.
Fate is not difficult to figure out. You only need to ask your heart.
Dawn.
When Ji Zhiyuan stood in front of Yan Li again, he found that she had changed a little. He didn't say anything, nor did he ask anything. He just said, "Let's go."
Ji Zhiyuan nodded, and the two climbed again.
Now, they both had the same goal, which was to return to the track of their own lives.
This time, there were no big spiders rushing out. If there were reinforcements, they would have attacked last night.
Behind the clouds was a cliff. Beyond the cliff was a towering old forest.
This was indeed the way out, but the two were half happy and half worried.
They were happy because there was hope to escape from the Impasse; they were worried because they didn't know where they were and whether they were still in Shenzhou. Because of the appearance of the Star Fallen Beast, they were worried that this was another world.
Fortunately, they were worried too much.
They wandered in the forest for four hours, during which they encountered many small flying squirrels with fire tails and some strange creatures that they had never seen before. But they were not too aggressive, so there was no danger.
Four hours later, they encountered an expedition team formed by the Desolate and Desolate races. This was already the territory of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
The two races had just formed an alliance, so they did not want any new changes to happen because of Ji Zhiyuan's disappearance. Hence, in order to find traces of the two, the entire race mobilized.
As expected, Cangyang became the new Desolate race Queen. She originally had a competitor, which was the First Prince. Unfortunately, after being beaten up by her, he did not dare to raise any objections.
Lava Tribe, Royal Palace.
Cangyang sat on the throne, smiling as she watched Yan Li wolf down her food.
Ji Zhiyuan only ate some porridge symbolically. She felt that the Desolate race's food was terrible. Only a reincarnated hungry ghost would eat like Yan Li.
When Yan Li was satiated, she sat on the chair and crossed her legs. Shen Liuyun strode in from outside. Seeing the two of them with their limbs intact, her tensed face slowly relaxed. She then sighed, "Did the two of you go out to play?"
Ji Zhiyuan knew that she was worried sick, so she hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Aunt, we are fine. We were just trapped in a valley."
Shen Liuyun helped her comb her hair and asked, "What happened?"
Ji Zhiyuan glanced at Yan Li lightly and said, "He owed someone a debt of love. I was implicated."
"Debt of love?" Shen Liuyun was momentarily confused.
Yan Li stroked her bloated belly and languidly said, "Sir, you don't understand. This is the trouble of an outstanding man."
"Is that so?" Shen Liuyun was like a worried parent. She was so angry that she strode towards Yan Li and forcefully twisted his ear, "Since I don't understand, can you explain it to me?"
"Ouch, it hurts. Be gentler …" Yan Li cried, "Can you leave me some face in front of the beauty?"
Shen Liuyun coldly said, "What face do you have in front of her?"
Yan Li said, "No, not Her Majesty. I'm talking about the beauty Cang Yang."
Cang Yang laughed and said, "You have a sweet mouth. Handsome Yan Li, I'm really sorry for hurting you that night. Your Highness Drifting Cloud, it's said that one should forgive people wherever possible. This handsome little brother has done a great service. Why don't you be more magnanimous? "
In all fairness, Cang Yang was indeed a great beauty. It's just that her body was slightly larger than a human's. According to the Desolate's body, she was the most standard beauty.
Only then did Shen Liuyun let go of his hand.
"Lord Benefactor!"
At this moment, a person suddenly rushed in. It was Li Rulong.
He ran to Yan Li and knelt down. With snot and tears streaming down his face, he said, "It's great that you are fine. It's all because of this lowly one's lack of protection, causing you to suffer so much …"
Yan Li was somewhat surprised and said, "Didn't you go back?"
Li Rulong said, "This lowly one did not manage to catch up to the person who kidnapped you, but I unintentionally learned of the Desolate race's Fire Worship Festival. Hence, I got Miss Ye to inform the Marshal, while I followed and hid …"
Upon saying this, he said with a depressed look, "But the Desolate race's security was too tight. I tried many methods, but I couldn't sneak in. Finally, a Desolate race member found me and told me that the war had ended, so I entered …"
Yan Li said, "Alright, it's fine. Don't kneel in front of me. Don't you see who this is?"
Li Rulong looked in the direction he was pointing and his expression immediately changed. He hurriedly turned to Ji Zhiyuan and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic, "Long live Your Majesty … This lowly one was terrified and did not know Your Majesty was here. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"Get up." Ji Zhiyuan stood up, "This Emperor is a little tired."
Cangyang immediately said, "Men, prepare the King's bedroom."
Shen Liuyun stared at Yan Li and whispered, "I'll settle the score with you later!" After saying that, he left with Ji Zhiyuan. Clearly, he still had many questions.
Li Rulong said uneasily, "Lord Benefactor, will Her Majesty bear a grudge against me …"
Yan Li said, "She won't bear a grudge against you, she will only bear a grudge against me."
Li Rulong said gratefully, "Thank you, Lord Benefactor, for shielding this lowly one from disaster."
Yan Li waved his hand and said, "You can leave too. I have something to discuss with the King of the Desolate Human."
When he turned to Cangyang, his serious face immediately turned lecherous.
Cangyang was not to be outdone, so she looked back charmingly.
The two of them seemed to meet each other's eyes.
Li Rulong immediately felt that his existence was unnecessary, so he could only leave dejectedly.
