Chapter 85

"It's good that the original body can come back!" Old Qian looked at Ye Zi, who was no longer in her immortal body but was full of spiritual light.

No wonder Qingran couldn't wait to come down; she probably sensed that Xiaoyezi's ancient spirit body had recovered, which is why she panicked!

"What do you mean by the original body returning? What exactly happened? Didn't Xiao Yezi say that it was her own hidden original body before!" Gu Li knew there was something wrong here, so he looked at Luo Hengzhi, the culprit, without hesitation.

“It was me,” Luo Hengzhi admitted, “because I… Xiao Yezi once used the Burial Curse.”

"The Burial Curse!" Upon hearing the Burial Curse, Gu Li's gaze towards Luo Hengzhi turned icy cold, filled with chilling killing intent. "You actually made her use the Burial Curse, Luo Hengzhi, I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Zi stood in front of Luo Hengzhi and said, "Calm down, it wasn't him. He was already gone when I used the Burial Curse. He didn't know anything at all."

Gu Li wouldn't listen: "How could he not know? He is the supreme god-king who is the ruler of heaven and earth. He can even foresee changes in heaven and earth. Otherwise, why would he use the Burial Curse? He must have known about this calamity beforehand and specially saved it for you, Xiao Yezi!"

"No!" Ye Zi lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. "He cast the Self-Destruction Curse... for his own use!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Li's raised hand froze on the spot: "Use it yourself! How could I!"

"The Self-Destruction Curse I found when I broke into his room had a corner of its seal already opened, which clearly means he didn't have time to use it before Qingran betrayed him. Otherwise, with Qingran's abilities... she really could have killed him!"

Upon seeing the Burial Curse, Ye Zi realized that Luo Hengzhi had been planning to leave the moment she created it!

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian sighed deeply. It was indeed true!

Gu Li: "But...why? He possesses power and status that others can only dream of, how could he possibly seek death!"

"Because if the master doesn't die, the entire God Realm will be wiped out, and you, Little Yezi, and Old Qian, none of us will survive!"

Cang Qing, not wanting his master to bear the hopeless guilt any longer, revealed himself. "Also, my master is not heartless. After ascending to the position of God-King, my master discovered that the earth's core was turbulent and on the verge of collapse."

"In order to stabilize the heart of the divine realm, the master sacrificed the seven emotions and six desires to suppress them!"

"Sacrifice the seven emotions and six desires." Upon hearing this, Ye Zi suddenly smiled with relief. She knew that Luo Hengzhi's sudden estrangement from her must have had another reason.

It's definitely not because she became so highly regarded that people despise and distance themselves from her, as some claim!

Ye Zi thought of the most serious upheaval in the Heart of the God Realm, which was due to the destruction of the Divine Phoenix Clan. The Earth Core Fire and the Phoenix Fire of the Divine Phoenix Clan were of the same lineage. She wondered if it was because of the downfall of the Divine Phoenix Clan that small riots would occasionally occur in the Earth Core afterward.

Because the fluctuations were small and brief, no one paid much attention to them.

Now it seems the danger to the divine realm... had been foreshadowed all along!

Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi, wanting to ask him why he wouldn't tell her, but Luo Hengzhi hadn't regained his memories yet, so he couldn't give her an answer.

Luo Hengzhi looked at Ye Zi, his dark eyes filled with heartache. Ye Zi felt heartache for that person!

But what's there to feel sorry for? He doesn't say anything; does he not have a mouth?

Moreover, since the sacrifice was his own choice, he should silently bear it and not be pitied by Xiao Yezi.

Luo Hengzhi: "Don't feel sorry for him!"

Ye Zi: "That's you!"

Luo Hengzhi: "No, I won't do that. I have a mouth, and I'll speak up and let people know what's going on. I won't just foolishly suffer alone like a self-indulgent fool, and end up feeling so sorry for myself that I die. That's really pathetic!"

Upon hearing Luo Hengzhi scold him, Gu Li clapped his hands and said, "I think you're absolutely right!"

Ye Zi and Old Qian exchanged a glance, unsure how to react. It was truly rare for someone to berate themselves like this!

Cang Qing was dumbfounded. His master could be quite harsh when he scolded him. He never expected that someone would call his master a coward. The key point is that the person who said this was his master himself!

“Little Ye Zi, I’m not going to let you see everything I’m bullied in the Luo family, or let you stand up for me. So if he’s wronged but doesn’t say anything, he should just suffer it. We don’t feel sorry for him!” Luo Hengzhi said to Ye Zi.

Okay, that sounds reasonable. Ye Zi's sadness has faded quite a bit!

"Let's go back and check on our spiritual herbs and fruits. I wonder how Xiao Mo is doing these days." Luo Hengzhi said as he led Ye Zi back to Hengfeng.

Gu Li watched the two disappear: "They're gone!"

He suddenly realized and said, "Old Qian, how can there be such a person... Didn't he do all the things? How come he opens his mouth and pulls everything aside, clearing himself of all responsibility, and even becomes the critic!"

Old Qian shook his head and smiled: "Didn't you just agree with what he said?"

"Alright, alright, you're much better now than before, not saying a word. Come on, Gu Li, Grandpa will take you to see this world. It's very interesting here!"

Subsequently, Gu Li was taken into the world of the internet by Mr. Qian to experience its colorful technology.

"Master, you're back! Come and see how many rare spiritual herbs have suddenly sprouted on the land yesterday." Xiao Mo saw Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi and led them to see the spiritual herbs. "There's even the Heart-Stealing Lotus, which went extinct a thousand years ago. It can be used to make a resurrection pill."

The Heart-Stealing Lotus has arrived just in time. Ye Zi remembered the ancient pill formula Qin Ke gave her, which happened to contain the Rejuvenation Pill. Once it's mature, she can refine some and sell them in the Pill Pavilion.

"Xiao Mo has been well taken care of these past few days. Go find Long Bao and Huo Feng to play." It's time to give the little girl a break.

Xiao Mo knew that Long Bao Huo Feng had gone to the deep mountains to roast monsters. When she heard that her master had given her a day off, she immediately rushed over. It was the perfect time to go and freeload a meal.

Thus, Hengfeng was left with only Luo Hengzhi and Ye Zi.

Luo Hengzhi said apologetically to Ye Zi, "I was terrible before, I wasn't good to you, but I won't be like that anymore."

Ye Zi looked at Luo Hengzhi, whose face was full of apology, and chuckled: "Who just said that he wasn't his!"

Luo Hengzhi raised her hand and tapped Ye Zi's nose, smiling gently: "Little Ye Zi, you've learned to use my words to shut me up!"

-

The two materials arrived quickly. In the following days, Luo Hengzhi was busy developing the time converter, while Ye Zi refined pills beside him!

"Little Yezi, come here, I made you a special breakfast with love, come and try it." Gu Li has been addicted to the internet these past few days and has learned a lot of new terms online, so she can't wait to come to Hengfeng to use them.

A loving breakfast!

These four words hit Luo Hengzhi's anger spot perfectly.

"Don't go, I'll make it for you." Luo Hengzhi saw Ye Zi get up, teleported over, and grabbed Ye Zi's hand, refusing to let go.

"Gu Li's cooking is excellent, you should try some too." Having not eaten Gu Li's cooking for so long, Ye Zi pulled Luo Hengzhi over.

Luo Hengzhi walked over and saw that the insulated boxes were all decorated with hearts, and glared at Gu Li fiercely.

Gu Li didn't even glance at Luo Hengzhi, so Luo Hengzhi's glare was useless; he couldn't see her.

Gu Li kept his eyes glued to Ye Zi and said solicitously, "Come on, let me serve the food to Little Ye Zi. Of course, Little Ye Zi can also be fed by me if she wants."

Ye Zi looked at Gu Li and couldn't help but smile, saying, "I can do it myself. When you're online, don't learn random things from the internet!"

Gu Li: "The internet is quite fun, but I never learn things randomly."

"Also, I've noticed that many of the celebrities and actors here aren't as good-looking as me, and they especially like to play domineering CEOs and stuff like that. They're all expressionless, like what they say online, 'expressionless face,' just like Luo Hengzhi from before."

"Luo Hengzhi, I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about the one from before, the one you mentioned. The one from before has nothing to do with you!" Before Luo Hengzhi could explode, Gu Li used the same trick Luo Hengzhi had used that day to shut her up.

"I have to say, you really do have a more human feel to you after your reincarnation, so don't always have such a long face. It's not good to be frowning like this. Come on, smile more!"

Luo Hengzhi glared fiercely at Gu Li, "You've come right up to me to feed my wife, and you still expect me to smile at you? Smile my ass!"

"Little Yezi, look at him glaring at me." Gu Li pretended to be scared and hid behind Ye Zi.

"Boss, I've reached the Foundation Establishment stage, boss!"

Luo Yi arrived riding the wind, his figure graceful and his appearance even more handsome!

Luo Hengzhi glanced at it, expressionless: "Hmm, not bad!"

"Boss, what's wrong with you!" Luo Yi looked at his boss's cold face, he was furious.

Gu Li didn't even glance at Luo Yi who had appeared, and proceeded to feed Ye Zi as if no one else was there: "Come on, little Ye Zi, ah... time to eat."

Luo Yi looked at Gu Li, who was being so attentive to his master: "........" Who is this person? How dare he provoke his boss? He has some nerve!

However, he now understands why his boss was giving him the cold shoulder.

But why didn't his boss throw this guy out of Hengfeng immediately? Did he want to keep this thing... for the New Year?

"You, stay away from my master." Luo Yi pointed at Gu Li, speaking fiercely, wanting to stand up for his boss.

Gu Li didn't even look at Luo Yi. With a flick of her little finger, Luo Yi was sent flying thousands of miles away.

Luo Yi, who was thrown to a hillside before finally stopping, shakily crawled up from the pile of dirt, still in pain.

Just now, that person only raised a finger and that was it, so his boss didn't make a move, he just kept sulking, probably because he couldn't beat him!

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Yi rushed back, looking disheveled, and walked to Luo Hengzhi's side: "Boss."

Luo Hengzhi waved to Luo Yi, and Luo Yi instantly looked brand new, as if he had never been hurt, still a handsome young man!

Luo saw in an instant that his boss angrily grabbed all the food on the table and started eating it in big mouthfuls!

"Luo Hengzhi, what are you doing? This is Xiao Yezi's! Who told you to eat it!" Gu Li looked at Luo Hengzhi, who was eating voraciously. How could she be so shameless? Where was the dignity of a divine ruler?

"No rush, eat slowly." Ye Zi wiped the food crumbs from Luo Hengzhi's mouth. "Isn't Gu Li's cooking good?"

Luo Hengzhi swallowed and replied, "It's acceptable!"

Fearing that Luo Hengzhi might choke, Ye Zi quickly got her some water.

Gu Li: "He actually said what I made was... passable. What a tasteless guy! I might as well not give him any water and let him choke to death!"

Gu Li couldn't stand seeing her food being wasted, so she left in a huff.

Luo Yi secretly sighed at his boss's brilliant methods. What's so scary about not being able to beat someone? Just find another way to infuriate them!

Ye Zi watched Gu Li storm off and smiled slightly. Those two...

"Boss, who is that person?" Luo asked.

Luo Hengzhi also didn't know Gu Li's background: "You'll have to ask your master about that."

Luo Yi then looked at his master properly. He noticed that his master seemed a little different, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Ye Zi began, "The Goddess of Flowers is our good friend, and Gu Li is... the only child left behind by the Goddess of Flowers."
