After a few breaths, the scorpion the size of a pot lid was trapped in a formation. It was dizzy and could not escape.
Lu Ye strode towards the bamboo building and went up the stairs to the second floor. When he pushed open the bamboo door, a fishy smell hit his face and a hissing sound could be heard.
With a casual grab, he caught a green snake in his hand. He fixed his eyes on it. This green snake was as long as a fresh and tender bamboo branch. Even though he was holding its head, its ferocity did not diminish. The snake's forked tongue flickered in and out.
Lu Ye stared at it, and with just a slight push of his own power, the green snake immediately went limp, and its originally straight body went limp.
He casually coiled it around his waist and tied a knot. When he looked up, he saw Hua Ci walking out from the inner room. She was carrying a large number of bundles, big and small. She looked like she was about to go on a long trip.
Lu Ye was surprised. "Eh, Madam, where are you going?"
It was the first time Hua Ci had heard him call her that, but the two of them were used to fooling around when they were together, so she was not surprised. She put on a straight face and spat, "Bah, who's your Madam? Don't call me that!" She raised her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes, her eyes full of resentment and her face full of tears. "Where else can I go? Of course I'm going to make room for your family of three. You can live here in the future and live happily with a filial daughter."
Lu Ye chased after her to explain, but when he saw Hua Ci's expression, he knew that there was no need to explain further. He chuckled and said, "Where else can you live if not here?"
Hua Ci's voice was sad. "This world is so big, there must be a place for me to stay. If not, I'll just go to a small nest in the starry sky and live."
"Are you really leaving?" Lu Ye pretended to be surprised.
Hua Ci said, "It's always the newcomers who are smiling. The old ones are only an eyesore. Why should I stay?"
Lu Ye nodded. "That makes sense. Be careful on the road. When you find a place to stay, let me know and I'll come back to see you."
"Take care of yourself!" Hua Ci looked at him deeply, then walked out with bags of various sizes.
As they brushed past each other, Hua Ci suddenly cried out in alarm. Her body was lifted into the air, and she instinctively threw away the package in her hands. She opened her arms and hugged Lu Ye's neck: "What are you doing?"
Lu Ye lowered her head and stared at her. "Take a guess!"
Hua Ci still wanted to struggle, but she was slapped down by Lu Ye, and immediately became obedient.
Her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in disarray.
After a long while, Hua Ci laid lazily on Lu Ye's chest. She crossed her hands and rested her chin on them. Then, she stared at him with wide eyes. Her expression was one of shock. "You're saying that girl is Sunshine?"
Lu Ye held his head in his hands and nodded solemnly. "Yaya is indeed Sunshine, but she suffered from the Soul Devouring Aphids, so there are some problems with her mind. Now she has the temperament of a child."
Hua Ci expressed her suspicions, "Are you lying to me?" No matter how she looked at it, this matter sounded unreal.
Lu Ye raised her hand and pinched her nose. "If I really wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have made it sound so ridiculous."
Hua Ci thought it was reasonable, so she said, "So she regarded you as her father and that woman as her mother?"
"That is fellow daoist Li Shang. Li Shang is from the Soul Clan, and Yiyi is somewhat similar to her. I brought her back mainly to solve the problem of Immortal Essence City."
Not many people in Nine Regions knew about Immortal Essence City. Lu Ye had mentioned it to Hua Ci before, so Hua Ci had a little understanding of Immortal Essence City.
Hearing this, Hua Ci nodded. "The ancestors of Immortal Essence City have suffered for many years. It would be good if it could be solved."
"So now you understand, don't believe your own eyes easily in the future. You have to listen to other people's explanation." Lu Ye raised his hand and slapped her again. Her flesh rose and fell, and it felt great to the touch.
Hua Ci smiled and suddenly opened her mouth and bit Lu Ye's shoulder. This time, she bit so hard that Lu Ye felt pain.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ye felt that his shoulder was bitten. It could be seen that Hua Ci used a lot of force.
"Are you retaliating against me?" Hua Ci's eyes flashed with a dangerous light as she slanted her eyes at Lu Ye.
"What do you mean?" Lu Ye was puzzled.
"When I was in the Wushuang Continent, I was holding someone else's child … So now you suddenly brought a child back."
"There's no such thing!" Lu Ye denied it. Even if there was, he would never admit it. Otherwise, with Hua Ci's temperament, she would retaliate sooner or later.
"Just pretend there's no such thing." Hua Ci curled her lips and suddenly opened her mouth and bit Lu Ye's other shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye endured the pain and bit harder than before. He was sure that his shoulder was bitten.
Hua Ci looked up. Her lips were dark red, and the light in her eyes was even more dangerous. She exhaled at Lu Ye and said, "Just now, you seemed to have some more tricks up your sleeves, which has never happened before. How do you explain this?"
Lu Ye's heart thumped, but his face was calm. "I'm talented and self-taught!"
Hua Ci looked at him with a smile, and her deep eyes seemed to look into the depths of his soul. Then, she lowered her head, and her scattered hair covered her delicate face, making people unable to see her expression. Her voice, however, sounded like it came from the depths of purgatory. "Then I have to take a good look."
Lu Ye could not help but shudder.
Jade Blood Sect, at the center of Ao Mountain's array, a few disciples guarding this place stared at the sky, seemingly having nothing to do.
Suddenly, a ray of light swept in from the outside and entered Ao Mountain, rushing towards the location of the Guardian Peak.
A disciple chewed on a blade of grass and said in boredom, "How many waves has it been today?"
"It's the fourth wave. There are almost a hundred constellations here." Another disciple replied.
"What's going on?" Someone did not understand.
The disciples guarding this place did not have high cultivations, only at the level of True Lake. Hence, they did not know the exact reason. They only knew that since a few days ago, cultivators from constellations kept coming to visit. At first, there were not many people, and the frequency was not high. However, as time passed, more and more people came, and the frequency increased. It was as if all the constellations in the Nine Continents were rushing back from the starry sky to come here.
It could be foreseen that the more time passed, the more frequent this situation would be.
A True Lake cultivator who knew the inside story said softly, "This should be related to the person on Cui Zhu Peak."
"Cui Zhu Peak?" When they heard this, the image of a woman with a gentle temperament immediately appeared in their minds. Many of them had seen this woman before and knew that she was one of the earliest disciples of the Blue Blood Sect and was one of the few Constellations in the Sect.
The name of the Poison Doctor was also widely known.
The person who spoke knew who they were thinking about and said, "It's not the Poison Doctor, it's the Peak Master of Cui Zhu Peak!"
The few True Lake cultivators were shocked, "That legend?"
Everyone knew that the Peak Master of Cui Zhu Peak was a legendary figure. He had not been in the Jade Blood Sect for long and did not seem to be very old. However, he seemed to be the mastermind behind all the major events in the Nine Continents.
He was also one of the earliest cultivators to ascend to the constellation level. Six years ago, he disappeared for some reason and there was no news of him.
"He's back?" Someone asked in shock.
"I heard from Martial Uncle Kong Niu that he's back. It seems like there's something big going on, which is why the constellations from the Nine Continents are here to visit."
"What's the big thing?"
"Who knows? But let's wait and see. Anything related to him is not an ordinary matter. Maybe the Nine Continents is going to change again."
On Shouzhen Peak, Shui Yuan looked in the direction of Cui Zhu Peak with a worried expression. Ever since Hua Ci and Lu Ye left one after another that day, Shui Yuan did not even need to think to know what the two of them were doing.
What else could they do when they met after such a long separation?
But it had been a few days, why hadn't they come out yet?
The constellations who came to visit after hearing the news could not see Lu Ye, so Shui Yuan could only receive them herself. In the past few days, she had received more than a hundred people, so she did not even have time to study the pill recipe.
Although Lu Ye didn't talk to her about anything after he came back, from Li Shang, from the mouth of the Nine Regions' Constellations, she learned about Lu Ye's plans after his return.
It was because he was going to bring a group of people to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea that the cultivators of the Nine Continents could not wait to rush back from the starry sky to ask Lu Ye about various matters.
However, everyone knew that it was impossible for Lu Ye to take everyone with him this time. He could only take a portion of them with him. However, there were too many constellations that were interested in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Who should go and who should stay was a problem that required careful coordination.
The constellations who came to visit were all familiar with Lu Ye, so they wanted to greet him in advance and go through the back door.
In the end, Shui Yuan had no choice but to tell everyone that they would gather at the Nine Continents Guardian Hall one month later. At that time, Lu Ye would appear and explain everything.
Only then did the Jade Blood Sect become much quieter.
One month was still a little rushed. After all, some constellations of the Nine Continents were very far away in the starry sky. Even if they received the news, they would not be able to rush back in one month.
Now, the only planetary ship in the Nine Continents had set sail, preparing to bring back the constellations that were scattered outside as much as possible.
Everything was going on in full swing, but the initiator was nowhere to be seen.
Three days, five days, ten days, half a month …
Li Shang brought Yaya to live on the Guardian Peak. Yaya had a child's temperament, jumping up and down every day, fishing for birds and catching fish. Others did not know the details of her sunshine, but Li Shang was clear about it, so he stayed by her side every day to prevent anyone from provoking her.
Seeing that the one-month deadline was approaching, Lu Ye still did not show up. Shui Yuan could only go to the Cui Zhu Peak personally to discuss with him.
Just as she arrived at the Cui Zhu Peak, she saw a familiar figure holding the bamboo tower's stairs, staggering down step by step.
Shui Yuan took a closer look and turned pale with fright. She hurried forward, "Little Junior Brother, how did you end up like this?"
At this moment, Lu Ye had dark circles under his eyes, his eyes were sunken, and his face was bloodless. He looked like his vitality had been greatly damaged. Even with his late-stage constellation foundation, his legs were actually shaking when he walked.
Hearing the voice, Lu Ye took a look. His eyes slowly focused, and he forced a smile, "Second Senior Sister …"
