Just as he was speaking, he suddenly sensed Yue Yao's aura rapidly approaching them. Lu Ye frowned. This was because he sensed that Yue Yao's aura wasn't Tang Jun's. Meanwhile, Chu Shen's face twitched. "You're right! Big Brother, you're on your own!"
As he said this, he hurriedly got up and fled, as if he was very scared.
He rushed out of the cave, but he was still blocked. Then, Lu Ye heard Chu Shen's humble voice. "Senior Sister Ruan!"
A cold voice rang out. "Li Taibai has returned?"
Chu Shen feigned ignorance. "Ah? Er, I don't — "
"Out of the way!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her clothes fluttered. Then, Lu Ye discovered that a slender figure had appeared in front of him.
He looked up and carefully sized her up. He was momentarily surprised because he discovered that not only was this woman not ugly, but she was also extremely beautiful. Moreover, her figure was outstanding. She was large where she should be, and round where she should be. Even among cultivators, this woman's beauty was extremely eye-catching.
Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, and her clothes clung to her body. She appeared very capable and experienced.
Lu Ye could even sense an extremely sharp aura from her body. This aura gave Lu Ye a somewhat familiar feeling.
A sword cultivator! Lu Ye immediately understood. This woman was definitely a sword cultivator!
He didn't quite understand. This kind of woman was Pu Ke's favorite type. Moreover, since it was an arranged marriage, why was Pu Ke avoiding her?
The woman was very tall, and she looked down at Lu Ye from above. Her cold voice rang out. "You're Li Taibai?"
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
The woman said, "I heard that you have the best relationship with Pu Ke here. Do you know where he is?"
Lu Ye shook his head. He had just returned from outside. Who the hell knew where Pu Ke had run off to?
"Can you help me ask around and find out where he is?"
"No!" Lu Ye decisively refused. Regardless of why Pu Ke was avoiding this woman, as Pu Ke's friend, Lu Ye naturally couldn't do such a thing.
"Then help me pass a message to him. He can't run away. Even if he has to go to the ends of the earth, I will find him!" After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and left. She didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Ye.
After the woman left, Lu Ye frowned. He didn't sense any malice from the woman. In other words, she didn't really want to do anything to Pu Ke. However, he didn't know what Pu Ke had done to her to make her so concerned.
He must have abandoned her after playing with her! Lu Ye guessed that with Parker's character, there was a high chance that he would do something like this.
He took out the musical note and tried to contact Pu Ke.
Not long after, Pu Ke replied, "What's up?"
"A woman is looking for you!"
"Ruan Tu, right? She really went to find you. She didn't make things difficult for you, did she? "
Lu Ye didn't know what the woman's name was. She didn't say anything, but Chu Shen did call her Senior Sister Ruan.
"No, I'm just trying to find out your whereabouts."
"That's good. What did she say?"
"She asked me to pass you a message." Lu Ye originally told him.
Pu Ke was silent for a long time before replying, "I can't stay in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Brother Li, I'm preparing to run away. We'll meet again if fate wills it!"
Lu Ye was surprised, "I think that woman isn't bad. She's your type. Why are you hiding from her?"
"Ai, it's a long story!" Pu Ke's tone was full of distress.
After his explanation, Lu Ye finally understood what Pu Ke was thinking. That Ruan Tu was indeed betrothed to Pu Ke. In terms of talent and cultivation, she wasn't any worse than Pu Ke. In fact, she was even stronger than him. However, the woman was ten years older than him. Pu Ke had been by Ruan Tu's side since he was very young. It could be said that Ruan Tu had raised him single-handedly.
To Pu Ke, Ruan Tu was like his own sister.
If it were any other woman of such beauty, Pu Ke would have been more than happy to accept. However, he really didn't have any thoughts about Ruan Tu. As for abandoning her, that was even more impossible.
"Moreover, Brother Li, you know that I have great ambitions. I want to drink all the water in one scoop. How could I hang myself on a single tree!"
Lu Ye had already experienced his ambition and knew that it was true. With Pu Ke's personality, if he wasn't allowed to sleep in a brothel, it would be worse than killing him.
After ending the communication with Pu Ke, Lu Ye left the cave.
He was powerless to interfere with Pu Ke's future. The starry sky was vast. After this farewell, they might not have the chance to meet again in the future. However, cultivators were like this. On the road of life, they always had to experience all kinds of people and things. Meeting, getting to know each other, making friends, and parting were commonplace.
Everyone was moving forward. If they were fated to meet again, they would naturally be happy. If they weren't fated to meet again, it would just be a memory in their hearts.
Flying out of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, he found the desolate star from last time and came to a hidden place. He blew the Azure Sea Snail and opened the door to the Merfolk Territory.
Through the door, he came to the Heavenly Snail Hall. Ignoring the two male Merfolk who stayed behind, Lu Ye directly urged his power and waited quietly.
In just a moment, Great Elder Yan Miao, who had sensed the commotion, rushed over. Behind him was the Spiritas woman with long hair that reached her ankles.
Lu Ye had come this time to bring the Spiritas woman back. It was not a good idea to keep her here.
After bowing to Yan Miao, Lu Ye asked, "How is Spectre? Did she say she wanted to leave? "
Yan Miao smiled and said, "That little girl has been cultivating with Bai Lu. I'm afraid she won't be leaving anytime soon."
Lu Ye could roughly guess Spectre's plan. She obviously wanted to cultivate here until she reached the peak of the Constellation Realm. Then, she would leave and use the Constellation Hall to advance Yue Yao. Cultivating with Bai Lu would be much more efficient. She naturally didn't want to waste such an opportunity.
Since Spectre didn't say she wanted to leave, Lu Ye didn't bother looking for her. He took the token that controlled the restriction on the Spiritas woman from Yan Miao and said a few more words to Yan Miao. Then, before the door disappeared, he returned to the desolate star.
Looking at the Spiritas woman standing quietly to the side, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I have some friends who lost their physical bodies for some reason. Only their Soul Avatars are still alive. I don't know what kind of existence the Spiritas is, or if you are similar to them, but I just want to ask you for a favor. Help them find a way out in the future."
If he wanted the Spiritas woman to cooperate with him, Lu Ye couldn't hide anything. However, ever since he obtained this Spiritas woman, she hadn't spoken to him except when she ambushed him.
This time was the same. Lu Ye wanted to confide in her, but she clearly didn't want to talk to him. She just looked at him indifferently.
Lu Ye sighed helplessly and could only give up. He still had a long way to go, and he didn't even know how to return to the Nine States. Even if the Spiritas woman was willing to help him, he couldn't do it.
Summoning his Star Boat, he rushed off in the direction of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
If the Spiritas woman didn't use her Secret Technique, on the surface, she was no different from a normal human. Moreover, her race was special, so Lu Ye wasn't worried that she would intentionally expose her identity, so it didn't matter if he brought her along.
Along the way, Lu Ye took out a sound talisman and sent out a message, soon receiving a response.
A few days later, on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island, the Scattered Market.
Lu Ye saw a familiar face at the agreed place.
An Zhe said with a bitter face, "Fellow Daoist, I've been looking for you for a long time!"
Back when Lu Ye bought all the Dragon Breath Crystals on An Zhe's side, An Zhe had returned to the Scattered Market three months ago to transfer the goods. He had returned to the Scattered Market three months ago, but he couldn't get in touch with Lu Ye. For a moment, he wondered if Lu Ye had encountered some kind of accident.
It wasn't until Lu Ye took the initiative to contact him that he was overjoyed. After all, he had transferred a lot of Dragon Breath Crystals from the Scattered Market. If it weren't for a big customer like Lu Ye, who knew how long it would have taken him to sell all the Dragon Breath Crystals in the Scattered Market.
"I went out on a business trip and only returned a few days ago!" Lu Ye explained.
An Zhe asked, "Fellow Daoist, do you still want more Dragon Breath Crystals?"
"Since I've contacted you, of course I do."
An Zhe was overjoyed, and he asked cautiously, "May I know how many Dragon Breath Crystals you can buy this time?"
Lu Ye thought for a moment, and said, "I only have seven million Spirit Jades on hand for now. How many Dragon Breath Crystals can I buy?"
He still had eight million Spirit Jades on hand, but he still had to save one million Spirit Jades for later use. As for Spirit Crystals … He would save them if he could. He would need them when he evolved into a Yue Yao in the future, and they were much more valuable than Spirit Jades.
"Seven million … That's not a small amount!" An Zhe said as he counted the Dragon Breath Crystals. After a short while, he handed a few storage rings to Lu Ye and said, "Fellow Daoist, please take a look at the number."
Lu Ye took the storage rings and checked them, and he quickly finished counting them. He found that An Zhe had given him a little too much, so it could be considered a friendly discount.
"Fellow Daoist, if you want more Dragon Breath Crystals in the future, feel free to send me a message. I don't have many things here, but I have a lot of Dragon Breath Crystals!" An Zhe said with a smile.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and he said, "Fellow Daoist An, are you interested in taking over a shop?"
An Zhe said, "Of course I am interested. After all, it's better to do business in a shop than in a scattered market. However, Fellow Daoist, you should know that not everyone can set up a shop. Those popular Spiritual Islands are out of our reach, and those unpopular Spiritual Islands are useless even if we set up a shop. It's better to set up a shop here."
What An Zhe said was right. For a top-grade Spiritual Island like the Island of Versatility, the rent for every shop was extremely high. Moreover, it was not something that could be bought with money alone. One also needed some connections. The realm An Zhe came from could not even take over a shop on a top-grade Spiritual Island. Not to mention the Island of Versatility, An Zhe's realm did not even have the capital and power to take over a shop on a top-grade Spiritual Island.
He did not have the capital or the resources. Some of the less popular Spiritual Islands were not too expensive, but what was the point of going there? It would be a waste.
Lu Ye said, "If there is a Spiritual Island that is popular and is still growing, it will not be any worse than a top-grade Spiritual Island in the future. Fellow Daoist, would you be willing to move there?"
An Zhe said hesitantly, "The rent for a shop on such a Spiritual Island will not be low, right?"
"I'm not sure about the exact amount, but the Spiritual Island is developing now. The rent should not be too expensive."
