Chapter 78

"Is there?"

Ye Zi recalled that it seemed like this had happened. At that time, she went to the Sutra Repository to ask Luo Hengzhi to take her to eat at a wealthy family's house. It seemed to be the time she went to the Jiang family's house.

So much time has passed, yet Luo Hengzhi still remembers!

Now she was locked in Luo Hengzhi's arms, the two of them so close that there was not a single gap between them.

Could this be how I treated Luo Hengzhi back then? How would Luo Hengzhi have felt at that time, when she didn't even like me?

It would be annoying to have someone you don't like get so close to you!

"Yes, very close." Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi with extremely gentle eyes, and complained as if she were telling the truth, "That was the first time my heart raced out of control, and all I could think about was the fragrance of plum blossoms on Ye Zi's body."

With her heart pounding, Ye Zi asked, "So it's not that you hate me?"

Luo Hengzhi asked in confusion, "Why would you dislike it?"

Ye Zi: "You didn't like me back then."

“It’s not that I didn’t like it.” Luo Hengzhi hugged Ye Zi tightly. “Back then, I just didn’t understand my own feelings.”

"I've always liked Xiaoyezi, then, now, and even more so in the future!"

......

"Fire Phoenix Little Ape, let's go ride the giant pendulum ride!" Longbao said, pointing to the roller coaster.

Fire Phoenix: "That's a roller coaster, the giant pendulum is over there."

"Let's play one by one," Little Ape said, looking at the running machine with great interest.

As soon as they left the secret realm, Long Bao Huo Feng led the little ape down the mountain, and the three of them first had a hearty meal.

While taking a walk to digest our food, we saw many children queuing up at Happy Valley, and the three boys silently joined the ticket queue without any hesitation.

"I want to play this," Longbao said, already joining the queue.

Fire Phoenix: "At this altitude, it's not even as exciting as when we flew here ourselves. Is it really necessary to do this?"

Little Ape: "It should be fun, look how happy they are. Since we're already here, let's give it a try."

"Okay." Fire Phoenix was dragged by Dragon Baby Little Ape to ride the roller coaster.

There are two seats in a row. Dragon Baby and Little Ape sit in the front, while Fire Phoenix sits alone in the back row.

Dragon Baby and Little Ape chatted excitedly, while Fire Phoenix looked at the two childish kids and shook her head helplessly.

At this moment, the seat next to her was taken, and the girl sat down next to Huo Feng with a slightly blushing expression, occasionally stealing a glance at Huo Feng.

After Huo Fenglongbao's cultivation improved, his human form also grew. Now he looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, bright and handsome, cool and arrogant, the kind of person girls like.

"Can I add you as a friend?" the girl asked shyly in a low voice.

Huo Feng glanced at the girl's phone. Although he used a phone, the SIM card he was using belonged to Luo Yi's brother. He could make calls and send messages, but he had never registered for any dating apps.

So he refused, saying, "I can't add it."

"Add what?" Little Ape Longbao asked, turning around.

The girl, feeling embarrassed after being rejected, said, "I want to add him as a friend."

"Oh, then we really can't add it. We don't need this for chatting," Longbao said.

"What do you use? I can download it too," the girl said, glancing furtively at Huo Feng.

Longbao then understood and asked with a grin, "So you like fire phoenixes? But it seems that's not possible, you're from different species."

Girl: "Race, is he a fire phoenix?"

After the girl finished speaking, she paused for a moment and said that she felt like she had seen that handsome yet indifferent face somewhere before.

"Are you the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix?"

"Why is it that nickname again!" Fire Phoenix said. "You watched the live stream too?"

"Yeah, the one where you ate the stone." The girl no longer mentioned adding him as a friend; no matter how handsome he was, they were definitely not of the same race.

The machine started running, and Fire Phoenix nudged Dragon Baby Little Ape, who was still looking back, and said, "Sit tight, it's about to start."

As soon as Huo Feng finished speaking, she saw a dense mass of dark shadows flash past the crowd ahead. Huo Feng used telepathy to tell Long Bao Xiao Yuan, "There's something dirty here."

Long Bao also saw it: "They are absorbing the yang energy from people."

Once the roller coaster starts and is pushed to its highest point, from this vantage point you can clearly see those black shadows constantly clinging to people, greedily inhaling their scent, but they are very cautious and restrained. Each person only takes one sip before leaving and taking over for the next person.

However, people who have inhaled it will have a layer of dull gray aura on their bodies. Although this will not kill them, it will still make them sick!

As the roller coaster hurtled down, the feeling of weightlessness caused screams from the passengers. Fire Phoenix Dragon Treasure Little Ape remained unaffected, his eyes fixed on the ground, trying to see how the black things would leave after ingesting the liquid.

The fire phoenix's flames were too powerful against filth, so it said to Longbao, "Longbao, you go and catch a few more, but remember not to kill them. Take them back to your master for interrogation."

Longbao obediently released a bunch of dragon bubbles that were invisible to the naked eye. The dragon bubbles chased after the dark shadows and easily swallowed them.

Just as they were about to retract, a giant hand flashed across the sky, instantly bursting the dragon bubble and sweeping away all the dark figures.

"It's that person!"

Dragon Treasure and Fire Phoenix will never forget that oppressive aura; it was from the wisp of divine soul they encountered once.

"Fire Phoenix, what should we do?" Long Bao transmitted his voice to Fire Phoenix, "That person has appeared again."

Fire Phoenix: "No rush. His aura appeared and then disappeared immediately, and he didn't attack us. He probably hasn't fully recovered yet."

"However, such absorption of human yang energy is likely to be used to conceal the aura of the soul, which means that the true self will soon come to the mortal realm."

"I'll send a message to Master so he can prepare." Long Bao took out his phone, typed a message, and sent it to Luo Hengzhi.

"Aren't we going back?" Little Ape asked, looking at Fire Phoenix Dragon Treasure, who was still sitting very steadily after what had just happened.

Longbao: "We finally get to go out and have some fun, so we should enjoy ourselves to the fullest."

"Yeah, we've bought the tickets and spent the money, so we should play a little longer," Fire Phoenix said. "Let's go eat again tonight, I'm craving seafood again."

"Xiao Ba's seafood is really good, but do we still have money?" Long Bao asked, turning around.

Fire Phoenix: "Yes, Grandpa Qian gave us some loose gold, we can go and exchange it for money."

"It's good that you have money. We'll go back to find our master after we've had our fill of food." There were gold bricks in Long Bao's storage jade pendant, but he wanted to keep them so that when he went to the God Realm and met his father, he could see that he had some wealth and that he was doing quite well on his own.

Lingju Sect

“Senior, Ye Zi and I need to go down the mountain.” Luo Hengzhi released four newly created consciousness puppets, all of which were at the Integration stage. “These puppets will handle all matters within the sect and obey your orders.”

Old Qian was playing a game. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, but remember to come back soon. It's so pitiful to leave me, a lonely old man, to take care of a sect's children."

"Yes." After saying that, Luo Hengzhi left with Ye Zi.

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi are heading to Hengduo Technology in Longming City because they need to find substitutes for two materials.

As for the spaceship, which is basically complete, Luo Hengzhi wants to add some modern technology, which needs to be done in the Hengduo Laboratory.

In addition, Hengduo's new product launch this time is very important.

Upon arriving in Longming City, Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi did not go directly to the company, but instead appeared in front of a villa halfway up a mountain in the suburbs.

But the two of them stood in front of the door, not moving for a moment.

"My home has been occupied."

Luo Hengzhi looked at the villa gate. Although she didn't live there for long, someone would come up the mountain every week to clean it. But it was still occupied by some things.

Luo Hengzhi waved his hand, intending to remove the mysterious object from the room.

Ye Zi stopped Luo Hengzhi: "Wait, they are not filth, they have immortal spirits."

Luo Hengzhi had heard from her junior brothers that immortal bodies possess immortal spirits, and that they can sense each other.

However, Yu Jun, being a possessor, could also sense the spirits of immortals, so he was unsure whether the person inside the room was an immortal or a ghost.

Before entering the house, Luo Hengzhi cast a protective barrier around the two of them.

Turning on the living room light revealed a group of people emanating black energy, huddled together on the sofa, their eyes fixed on Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi who had suddenly appeared.

Although these people were covered in black, they were all beautiful and top-notch.

Looking at the cramped room, Luo Hengzhi's first thought was that the sofa had to be thrown away and couldn't be kept.

“You…are also a celestial being.” One of them spoke, looking at Ye Zi, and asked, “But…how were you able to evade it?”

Another female voice said, "She may have just woken up and hasn't been discovered yet."

“Fellow Daoist, let me give you a piece of advice: if you don’t want to end up like us, neither immortal nor ghost, you should leave this place as soon as possible.”

"It's no use. That person's divine sense is overwhelming; there's no way to escape."

"Can't you see? She's different from us. She's only eighteen years old and isn't from a thousand years ago."

Suddenly, a figure rose into the air from behind, looking at Ye Zi with hungry eyes: "She has the Purple Rhyme Immortal Body. If I devour her, I can recover."

The man lunged at Ye Zi like a madman.

But just as it reached him, Luo Hengzhi raised his hand and grabbed it, and the figure vanished into dust, even the immortal spirit was wiped out!

"What level of cultivation does he have? How can he kill an immortal with his bare hands and even erase an immortal spirit?"

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi concealed their cultivation levels, making it impossible for their opponents to discern their true realms. This was also why the Golden Core cultivator dared to pounce on Ye Zi just now.

The woman's voice rang out again: "Senior, spare our lives, we mean no harm."

Luo Hengzhi did not have the habit of killing people indiscriminately: "I will ask you a few questions, and then you may leave."

“Leave…but we have nowhere to go,” the woman’s voice said.

Ye Zi: "Where are you from? And who injured you like this?"

"We were disciples of the Moon Concealment Palace. We fell into a deep sleep during our seclusion. When we woke up, we found that a thousand years had passed and the Moon Concealment Palace no longer existed."

"Yes, we are from Lingbi Sect, and our situation is similar to theirs."

"During cultivation, a powerful pressure struck, instantly draining all our luck. When we tried to resist, our immortal aura was shattered, and even our immortal spirit was... broken apart."

"We met here while fleeing for our lives, and stopped to rest. We found that the oppressive aura was not here, so we huddled together like this, using each other's meager spiritual energy to keep our immortal spirits from dissipating."

Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi exchanged a glance. It turned out that they were maintaining such a strange posture in order to prevent the immortal spirit from dissipating.

Seeing that their cultivation levels were not low and they possessed immortal bodies, Ye Zi thought that the Lingju Sect was in dire need of manpower and said, "If I heal you, would you be willing to join my Lingju Sect and swear to protect the Lingju Sect with your lives!"

The female voice said, "You are from the Lingju Sect! We have heard about the Lingju Sect's recruitment of new members and have been intending to go and join them. If the Lingju Sect is willing to take us in, we will naturally do so."

"Yes, we'd love to!"

The female voice said again, "As long as you save our lives, we can swear an oath to Heaven to protect and serve the Lingju Sect with our lives."

"OK."

Their combined cultivation levels couldn't even match hers and Luo Hengzhi's, so she wasn't afraid of them going back on their word.

Ye Zi took out a bottle of pills and threw it over: "If you go back on your word, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

"It's actually the Drunken Immortal Pill, a celestial-grade elixir for repairing immortal spirits!"

These people did not take the pills immediately, but helped each other to their feet and then bowed to Ye Zilu Hengzhi.

Despite his frail health, he performed a very proper bow.

With this bow, Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi knew that they had not made a mistake in saving these people.
