Sure enough, Hua Ci did not wait outside the palace for no reason. She had obviously received Su Yuqing's message and was deliberately watching him.
Su Yuqing probably noticed the abnormality between him and Jiu Yan. She could not show herself, so she could only send a message to Hua Ci.
From the looks of it, the relationship between these two women seemed to be very good, and they were already on the same side on certain matters.
Along the way, Lu Ye was uneasy, but Hua Ci was as gentle as water.
Finally, they arrived at the Island of Versatility.
Lu Ye's identity was special now, so he disguised himself halfway. Otherwise, it would cause some chaos if he was recognized.
Even so, not long after he entered the Island of Versatility, someone came to greet him.
It was Ling Yue from the Che Ling Domain, Aunt Yue who had always been by Jiu Yan's side.
Appearances could be disguised, but Lu Ye's aura could not be hidden. Jiu Yan had obviously sensed his arrival and sent Ling Yue to greet him.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu." Ling Yue bowed and looked at Lu Ye with a complicated gaze. When she first met this young man, he was only a Constellation Realm cultivator. She did not expect him to be a Sunshine Realm cultivator in the blink of an eye. He was now in charge of the Island of Versatility and held great power.
On the other hand, her cultivation had improved slowly over the years. She was still Yue Yao.
"Fellow Daoist Yue!" Lu Ye nodded slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you have any orders for the Island of Versatility? After the Realm Lord returned from the Yiyuan Realm, he sensed something and is now in seclusion. If you have any orders, just let me know. I will arrange it properly. " She had rushed over after receiving Jiu Yan's message. As for going into seclusion, it was completely false. Ling Yue had a feeling that the Realm Lord seemed to be deliberately avoiding this young man in front of her, but she couldn't understand why.
She glanced at Hua Ci.
Ling Yue had heard of Lu Ye's Dao Companion, the true owner of the Starry Sky Treasure. Now that she saw her, she was indeed a beauty with a dignified temperament. Although her cultivation was lower, the Starry Sky Treasure was enough to make up for it.
When the two of them stood together, they were a match made in heaven.
Lu Ye said, "Nothing important. I'm just here for a stroll. Fellow Daoist, you don't have to trouble yourself."
He had originally come here to ask Jiu Yan some questions. Now that Hua Ci had followed him, he would definitely not be able to ask. He might as well give up and wait for another chance.
"If that's the case …" Ling Yue did not suspect anything, "If you have any requests, feel free to send me a message. The Realm Lord is currently in seclusion, and I'm currently in charge of the Island of Versatility."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yue."
After Ling Yue left, Lu Ye stood in place and pondered for a moment before turning to look at Hua Ci. "Where are you going?"
"I'm just strolling around." Hua Ci smiled gently, her eyes narrowed into crescents. She intimately held Lu Ye's arm and walked towards the Island of All Appearances. Lu Ye knew he couldn't refuse, so he could only let her go.
Not long after, in front of a shop, Hua Ci seemed to have seen something novel. Her beautiful eyes lit up as she walked over. A moment later, she beckoned to Lu Ye behind her and called out, "Husband, come over quickly."
Lu Ye, who was leisurely walking in that direction, froze. He almost suspected that he had misheard.
They had known each other for so many years, but Hua Ci had never called him so intimately. She had always called him by his name.
This sudden intimacy caused Lu Ye's hair to stand on end. He knew that he was in deep trouble …
He braced himself and walked forward, only to see that Hua Ci had already taken out a hairpin and inserted it into her hair. The hairpin had the shape of a butterfly, and as Hua Ci moved, the butterfly gently spread its wings as though it was alive. Not only that, there were also light and shadow floating around the hairpin, and illusory butterfly shadows appearing and disappearing one after another. With such a hairpin on a beauty like Hua Ci, it really added to her beauty, dazzling many cultivators who passed by.
"Husband, does it look good?" Hua Ci looked at Lu Ye with an expectant expression.
"Yes." Lu Ye nodded.
The shopkeeper said with a smile, "Madam, you have good eyesight. This Dancing Butterflies is the treasure of our shop. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also a sixth-grade defensive magic weapon. When magic power is injected into it, it can provide an extremely powerful defensive power. Madam's dignified temperament is especially compatible with this magic weapon. It is truly tailor-made for Madam. You must not miss it."
He flattered. He was well-versed in the ways of business.
Hua Ci picked up another hairpin and put it on her head. This hairpin was even more dazzling than the previous one, further accentuating Hua Ci's beauty.
"Does it look good?"
Lu Ye nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Yes!"
Hua Ci smiled and picked up the third hairpin. She put it on her head. "What about this one?"
"Yes, it looks good." Lu Ye nodded again.
The shopkeeper at the side was grinning from ear to ear. The items that Hua Ci had chosen were all the most valuable items in their store. She had chosen three items in one go. If they were to sell them all, they would make a huge profit. He nodded and bowed beside Hua Ci, trying his best to introduce the advantages of his goods.
He had been running this shop for many years, so he naturally had a pair of discerning eyes. Lu Ye and Hua Ci were the kind who did not lack money at first glance, so they were naturally worthy of his attention.
"They all look good?" Hua Ci ignored him and only glanced sideways at Lu Ye, the corners of her mouth rising. "So Husband is also a person who likes the new and dislikes the old …"
Lu Ye's expression stiffened. He was wondering why Hua Ci was suddenly interested in buying hairpins. It turned out that she was talking about him. He quickly said, "Of course it looks good on you. If it were someone else, it wouldn't have such an effect."
"Humph!" Hua Ci snorted softly. She took off the hairpins and put them back in their original places, then turned and left.
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded. He could not understand how such a good business deal could be ruined.
Lu Ye urged, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and pack them up."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He hurriedly packed up the three hairpins. Lu Ye handed over the spiritual jades and turned to chase after Hua Ci.
When he found her, she was already holding a stick of candied haws. After taking a bite, she frowned. "It's so sour … here you go."
She handed the unfinished stick of candied haws to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye blinked and took it. He was thinking of finding a place to throw it away. He was the master of the Wanxiang Ocean, a supreme Sunshine cultivator. How could he eat candied haws in public?
Hua Ci said, "You spent money to buy it. You can't throw it away. Hurry up and eat it."
"… I'll eat it!" Lu Ye had a look of resignation.
Hua Ci had never been an unreasonable person. She purposely came to the Island of Versatility with him and caused so much trouble. It was obvious that she was doing it on purpose. Lu Ye was well aware of it, but he could not point it out. He could only obediently cooperate.
For the next half of the day, the two of them walked and strolled, as if they were the most ordinary couple. Hua Ci would buy something from time to time, but she would only take a bite of it and leave it all to Lu Ye to handle. If Lu Ye was really just an ordinary person, his stomach would probably burst.
As they walked, they arrived at the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce.
"I'm tired!" Hua Ci suddenly stopped and said.
"Then let's go back." Lu Ye was relieved. Ever since he came to the Wanxiang Ocean, he had entered and exited the Island of Versatility many times, but he had never experienced such torment. Now, it was finally over.
Hua Ci leaned over and whispered into his ear, "I heard that the third floor of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce is a guest room for people to rest in?"
Lu Ye was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded her, "Wouldn't it be better to go back and rest? As the saying goes, a home is not as good as a dog's nest. "
Hua Ci smiled and didn't say anything. She grabbed Lu Ye's hand and dragged him into the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce. She found a manager and booked the most luxurious guest room!
A moment later, Lu Ye stood in front of the guest room on the top floor of the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce with a serious expression.
Hua Ci had already walked around the room. She was obviously satisfied with the environment. She stuck her head out of the room and waved at Lu Ye, "Come in, husband!"
Lu Ye knew that he couldn't escape this time. He could only take a deep breath and walk forward. Even if there were thousands of people, he would still walk forward!
He didn't believe that he couldn't take care of a mere Hua Ci.
Even Su Yuqing, who was at the peak of the Sunshine Realm, was defeated by him. What right did Hua Ci have to be so arrogant? This time, he would show her how powerful he was!
A person couldn't keep falling in the same place. There would be a day when he would stand up again!
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
Outside the Island of Versatility, a Planetary Boat shaped like a flower basket flew out. Lu Ye sat cross-legged on it, resting with his eyes closed.
Hua Ci, who was steering the Planetary Boat, was flushed. She suddenly sensed something and turned around.
At the same time, on the Island of Versatility, Jiu Yan was looking in this direction at the spiritual jade mine.
Hua Ci's lips curled up slightly. She turned around, as if she had won a battle and was about to return in triumph …
After returning to the Three World Island, Hua Ci put away the Planetary Boat and said gently, "Husband, you must be exhausted. Go back and rest early. Don't run around if you have nothing to do. There's nothing fun on the Island of Versatility. The Three World Island has everything. Husband, if you want anything, just tell me and I'll arrange it for you."
Lu Ye said weakly, "Don't call me husband. I'm not!"
He slowly walked towards the direction of the Pill Room.
Hua Ci held back her laughter behind him. "Walk slowly. Don't fall."
Lu Ye immediately straightened his back and walked as if he was flying!
Hua Ci's laughter grew louder.
This hateful woman! For a gentleman to take revenge, ten years is not too late … a hundred years is not too late! Just you wait! Lu Ye swore in his heart.
He found Yiyi and Hu Po, who were with his second senior sister, in the pill room. Lu Ye called out, "Let's go!"
Yiyi was puzzled. "Where are we going?"
"Back to the Land of the Nine Prefectures!" Lu Ye said concisely.
"You're going back so soon?" Yiyi was obviously reluctant. However, after thinking about it, she had to go back eventually. Moreover, the sooner she went back, the sooner she could continue to cultivate. Only when she became stronger in the future could she continue to help Lu Ye. She immediately made up her mind.
There was nothing to pack. After a while, Lu Ye drove his Planetary Boat and flew towards the Insect Path with Yiyi and Hu Po. (End of Chapter)
