Chapter 68

Longbao: "Yes, yes, Master Ye hasn't had a proper rest these past few days. Why don't you go and get some sleep? Master, please carry me to the guest room."

Seeing Ye Zi's flushed cheeks and slightly rapid breathing, Luo Hengzhi bent down, picked up his wife, and carried her towards the guest room.

Suddenly being picked up, a wave of dizziness washed over Ye Zi, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly:

"Luo Hengzhi, I'm not drinking anymore, I'm so dizzy! I'm getting high again."

Because they were hugging, their bodies were close together, and Ye Zi's breath brushed against Luo Hengzhi's ear as she spoke, sending shivers of pleasure through Luo Hengzhi's heart!

Luo Heng's back tensed involuntarily, and he tilted his head slightly, trying to suppress the urge to breathe, as he softly coaxed his wife:

"I'm not drinking anymore, I'll carry you to bed!"

"You don't want to sleep with me, I know that!"

Ye Zi cupped Luo Hengzhi's face in her hands, her fingers casually tracing the high bridge of his nose, as if she were a little angry, and even pinched Luo Hengzhi's cheek.

He murmured in a low voice, "You never wanted to sleep in the same room as me. It was all my fault. I forced you to come down the mountain and you don't want to go back to Lingju Temple."

Luo Hengzhi stopped in his tracks after hearing what Ye Zi said.

Even after all this time, Ye Zi still can't forget the time he left!

Luo Hengzhi: "I will never leave Lingju Temple again, nor will I leave you!"

"Really!"

Ye Zi looked up and rubbed her forehead against Luo Hengzhi's: "Luo Hengzhi, don't move, your head keeps shaking."

This action was so intimate that their noses were almost touching, and Luo Hengzhi only needed to tilt her head up slightly to kiss her!

"No, Ye Zi isn't thinking straight right now!"

Luo Hengzhi closed her eyes tightly, steadied herself, and her throat bobbed involuntarily.

"Luo Hengzhi, are you asleep?"

Ye Zi suddenly looked up and kissed Luo Hengzhi's deep eye sockets.

This threw Luo Hengzhi's mind into disarray!

"Ye Zi!"

"You're trying to kill me!"

Luo Hengzhi's voice was low and husky, and his gaze at Ye Zi was domineering and intense.

"I won't kill you, I like Luo Hengzhi, I like Luo Hengzhi the most!"

Ye Zi nuzzled Luo Hengzhi's forehead, said those words, and then stopped moving around.

Luo Hengzhi, engulfed in flames, looked at Ye Zi, who was breathing evenly in his arms, and said helplessly, "Little Ye Zi, you're really killing me!"

Luo Hengzhi placed Ye Zi on the bed and covered her with the blankets.

Looking at Ye Zi's rosy cheeks and long eyelashes, her cool demeanor faded after she fell asleep, and she became inexplicably docile.

"Sleep well, little Ye Zi." Luo Hengzhi gently touched Ye Zi's long eyelashes with her fingertips and placed a light kiss on the corner of Ye Zi's eye.

"Hehehe, we kissed!" Longbao and Huofeng peeked out from the doorway, their little heads peeking out happily.

Upon hearing the sound, Luo Hengzhi waved his hand and erected an isolation array.

The dragon and fire phoenix, who couldn't see anything, suddenly stopped laughing.

Xiao Ba patted Long Bao Huo Feng on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go, let's go have a drink."

"When did you follow me here?" Longbao Huofeng turned around and looked at Xiao Ba, who had suddenly appeared.

Xiao Ba: "I also like watching the excitement."

Fire Phoenix hooked her arm around Little Eight's shoulder: "Little Eight, where did you find all these golden spirit stones?"

"You want me to take you to find the treasure, right?" Xiao Ba didn't mince words with Long Bao and Huo Feng, and went straight to the point.

Longbao: "Yes, we came down into the sea to find treasure."

"But I've taken all the treasures outside, they're all here with me. However, I bet there are still many inside, but I don't know how to get in." Xiao Ba shrugged.

Fire Phoenix: "Tell me where this place is."

“There’s a spatial array there, but it’s misaligned, and the entrance has disappeared.” As Xiao Ba spoke, he conjured up a scene, a dark, rocky mountain where no trace of the treasure could be seen. “This is the place I’m talking about. If you’re willing to go, I can lead the way.”

Fire Phoenix: "Then let's go take a look together when Master wakes up."

"Is there anything to eat now? I'm hungry." Fire Phoenix rubbed her stomach.

"Yes, yes, it's cooking in the pot, there are several big pots of it." Xiao Ba said, leading Long Bao and Huo Feng towards the kitchen.

"Your kitchen is huge, and there's such a big pot." Long Bao and Huo Feng stood at the door of Xiao Ba's kitchen, dumbfounded, looking at the ten-meter-long pot, which was filled with fragrant seafood.

Longbao was envious again: "And they're all the freshest, caught and eaten right away. Xiao Ba, you're living a very fulfilling life!"

"That's right, that's right. We can't let ourselves suffer, can we?" Xiao Ba brought over chairs and invited Long Bao and Huo Feng to sit around the pot. "Don't be shy, eat as much as you want."

Eating around the pot was a novel experience. Longbao and Huofeng washed their hands and sat down on the chairs.

"Then we won't stand on ceremony."

As Huo Feng spoke, she grabbed a large lobster, and Long Bao also picked up a large crab and started eating it.

The effects of the alcohol wore off quickly, and Ye Zi woke up after sleeping for less than half an hour. When she opened her eyes, she saw Luo Hengzhi making puppets beside her.

"Hello, Master Ye." The puppet greeted Ye Zi when it saw her wake up.

"A consciousness puppet?"

Ye Zi sat up and looked at the puppet in front of her, which had delicate features and a lifelike expression, just like a real person. It was so lifelike.

When Ye Zi saw the puppet's cultivation level, she was shocked: "Nascent Soul stage!"

Luo Hengzhi: "Currently, the highest level we can achieve is the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"It actually spans two major levels." The consciousness puppet is the puppeteer's guardian spirit; if successfully created, its cultivation level will be higher than that of the puppeteer!

However, the fact that Luo Hengzhi was able to create a consciousness puppet two levels higher on her first attempt demonstrates her extraordinary talent.

Ye Zi: "To succeed on the first try is truly remarkable!"

Luo Hengzhi took Ye Zi's hand and placed a Burial Jade Ring on Ye Zi's middle finger: "This is a Burial Jade Space Ring, which can store 100 consciousness puppets. I am only at the Nascent Soul stage now, so you can use it first. When my cultivation improves, the puppets can also be upgraded."

Ye Zi looked at the ring on her hand and noticed that Luo Hengzhi had the same one.

“Two, one for you and one for me.” Luo Hengzhi stretched out her left hand, and on her middle finger was a jade ring exactly like Ye Zi’s.

Luo Hengzhi took Ye Zi's hand and the two rings clinked together.

"Dragon Treasure Fire Phoenix has already found out the location of the treasure. Let's go take a look together."

Long Bao Huo Feng had finished eating and was about to go find Ye Zilu Hengzhi.

Fire Phoenix was stuffed again and slowly followed behind Dragon Baby.

Longbao: "Master, Xiaoba will take us to find the treasure."

“Yes, but I’m only responsible for leading the way; I can’t guarantee we’ll get in,” Xiao Ba said cautiously.

“Okay.” Luo Hengzhi took out two barrier array plates and handed them to Xiao Ba.

"A level nine barrier array plate, thank you so much!" As soon as Xiao Ba got it, he immediately took one out and used it on the spot. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about his family being robbed when he went out.

"Xiao Ba, have you ever seen Lingyu coral at the bottom of the sea?" Ye Zi asked.

"Is Lingyu Coral the main ingredient for refining the Rejuvenating Pill?" Xiao Ba asked. "Are you an alchemist? Could you sell me some pills?"

Long Bao: "You need pills? You can go to the No. 1 Pill Pavilion in Qingyong City. They have all kinds of pills there."

"The number one alchemy pavilion in Qingyong City, good, I'll remember that, I'll go buy some later. Oh yes, the place I'm taking you to has a large patch of Lingyu coral, which has been growing very lushly without being harvested." After saying that, Xiao Ba led the group deeper into the sea.

The group swam for a long time, and that must have been the deepest part of the seabed. Ye Zi could see a large patch of Lingyu coral in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that more than half of them were over a thousand years old!

"Master, there is a flower that is five thousand years old." The fire phoenix walked over and pointed to the most beautiful one in the middle.

Ye Zi nodded. There are still three thousand years, two thousand years, and one thousand years left, with only a small portion remaining for a hundred years.

Ye Zi summoned Xiao Mo, who then carved out an area in the black soil and introduced seawater, before moving all the thousand-year-old Lingyu corals into it.

After Ye Zi finished collecting the Lingyu Coral, Xiao Ba pointed to the dark stone mountain on the side and said, "This is it, but I really don't know where the entrance is."

Looking at the numerous pits and craters on the rocky mountain, Long Bao Huo Feng asked, "You didn't dig those golden spirit stones out of here, did you?"

Xiao Ba touched his nose sheepishly: "I picked up the gold from the ground, and I dug the top-grade spirit stones off there one by one."

Luo Hengzhi touched the pits and hollows on the rocky mountain. If he wasn't mistaken, this should have been a teleportation array set up with top-grade spirit stones, but the top-grade spirit stones were dug up by Xiao Ba, who was unaware of the situation, and the array was destroyed.

"Master, Xiao Ba also said there's a spatial magic array here," Long Bao reminded Luo Hengzhi as he walked to her side.

Xiao Ba then handed over a map: "This is a map I found here. I guess it's the route after you go in. Also, if you go in, the exit might not be there, so I'll leave you here and won't follow you anymore."

Fire Phoenix: "Then when you go to Qingyong City, remember to look for us. We are at Lingju Temple."

Longbao: "I can take you to my master's house to find some wine."

"Okay," Xiao Ba said and left.

Luo Hengzhi studied the map in his hand. The exit and the entrance were on opposite sides. The entrance was a mountain, which should be this underwater stone mountain, while the exit was a dense forest.

Ye Zi: "Mountains belong to the element of earth, and fire can generate earth. Why don't we try attacking it with fire?"

Luo Hengzhi nodded, "It's worth a try."

Fire Phoenix also went over to look at the map, but for some reason, her master suddenly said to use fire: "Master, what are you talking about? Why are you using fire?"

Luo Hengzhi explained: "The entrance is a mountain, which is earth. We cannot find the entrance now because we cannot find the location of the earth. Fire can generate earth, so your master suggested trying to burn the entrance out with fire."

"Fire is something the Fire Phoenix excels at," said Long Bao. "Just don't boil all the seawater."

Ye Zi released her spirit sword, raising an isolation barrier that separated the entire stone mountain from the sea.

Of course, we can't let the fire phoenix boil the entire sea, otherwise none of the creatures in the sea will survive.

As the barrier rose, the fire phoenix transformed back into its original form, becoming a colossal creature, its flames instantly engulfing the entire stone mountain.

"The original form of the Fire Phoenix is ​​already this big."

Ye Zilu looked up at the fire phoenix, which was three times the size of the entire stone mountain.

"During the live stream, due to space limitations, Fire Phoenix had to conceal its form. This is Fire Phoenix's true original form now," Long Bao said.

After burning for only a short while, a "crackling" sound came from inside the stone mountain, like the sound of a mechanism turning and moving a slot.

The fire phoenix concentrated its firepower and set the place where the sound came from ablaze.

"There really is a door here."

Long Bao saw the mountain slowly rotate, creating a space filled with spiritual energy. He immediately transformed and flew inside.

The fire phoenix flew down and followed.

"Let's go." Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi followed closely behind.

After Longbao and Huofeng went inside, they indeed saw the gold all over the ground that Xiaoba had described. Golden ingots and large gold bricks covered the ground. Xiaoba's family really did find all the gold!
