Before the Qingqiu Fox Clan could figure out what had happened and were considering whether to go and apologize, news spread that Qingyun Palace was closing its doors to visitors and that War God Yunqi had gone on a trip.

Meanwhile, Qinghua Divine Lord found it strange to receive the flowers and plants sent by Yunqi. These were all flowers and plants that Hua Qianrou liked, so why would she send them over?! Especially the morning glory that Qingluan handed him…

The Qinghua Divine Lord felt that the morning glory was familiar, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why...

"This morning glory?..."

Qingluan bowed and said, "My lord said that this morning glory looks like someone, so I'm leaving it as a memento for him."

"..." Qinghua Divine Lord vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Even after Qingluan led everyone away, Qinghua Divine Lord still couldn't figure out what had happened. He stared blankly at the morning glory for a long time...

The Divine Lord Qinghua couldn't see through the soul of Hua Qianrou within the morning glory... He could only vaguely sense that this morning glory was somewhat familiar...

It can only be said that there are differences even between gods...

Yun Qi concealed her identity and came to the human realm. The human realm at this time was not yet the one invaded by the demons. The seal on the entrance to the demon realm had not yet been broken, and the human realm was still relatively peaceful.

Of course, this doesn't mean there are no demons in the human realm. The human realm is mostly populated by humans, with a small number of demons, monsters, and gods disguised as humans.

Demons who can break through the seal and enter the human realm are basically beings like demon gods. After disguising themselves, they are no different from humans. Of course, they disdain indiscriminately killing humans. After all, demon gods have no interest in humans who are as insignificant as ants, and they are unwilling to create karma and incur consequences for killing, which would be detrimental to their cultivation.

For example, it's like seeing a group of ants on the roadside; you'd usually be too lazy to even glance at them and simply ignore them. (Of course, you might be bored and want to cause trouble... but a powerful demon god wouldn't be that bored, would he...?)

Deep in the mountains, Xiao Qi excitedly flew out of the space, circled in the sky, and let out a series of phoenix cries...

Then came a burst of red light that shot into the sky, a wondrous sight of a rare treasure descending to earth...

Yunqi sighed, "Xiaoqi, you're making a bit too much noise!"

Xiao Qi chuckled, "I'm the Vermilion Bird! When a divine beast appears in the world, of course, 'auspicious omens descend from the heavens'! Qi Qi, isn't my entrance pretty cool?!"

"It's really cool!" Yunqi sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Xiaoqi, that's enough. Someone's coming soon. Let's go."

"Alright!" Little Qi shrank inch by inch, turning into a little bird and landing on Yun Qi's shoulder.

Yun Qi used her divine speed to leave the deep mountains, perfectly avoiding the cultivators from the human realm who came to investigate.

Yunqi fed the elixir to Xiaoqi like candy: "Xiaoqi, how strong are you in this world?"

"I am the adult Vermilion Bird, which means I have the strength of a divine beast. However, the strength of divine beasts varies. I have never actually fought one, so I am not entirely sure of their exact strength."

Can you transform into human form?

"Yes, there are two methods of transformation. One is to undergo a tribulation of lightning, and the other is to use a transformation pill. Both methods require someone to protect you."

"I have a Transformation Pill here. Do you want to transform into human form? I can protect you."

"I think!"

"Alright, let's find a quiet place later, and I'll protect you." Yun Qi patted Xiao Qi's head and asked curiously, "Xiao Qi, your original form was a system, so do you have a gender? If you transform, are you male or female?"

"The system doesn't have a gender; when you transform, you choose your own gender."

"So, if you were to transform into human form, would you prefer to become a man or a woman?"

"I want to transform into a girl!"

"That's good... If you wanted to transform into a boy, I don't know how I would get along with you in the future..."

"Um... if I dared to transform into a boy, Xiao Mo would definitely crush me..." As she spoke, Xiao Qi trembled with fear.

"...It can't be that exaggerated, can it? He probably wouldn't do that, right?"

"He can! He's incredibly ruthless!"

"...Alright, let's find a suitable place to help you transform." Yunqi asked as they walked, "Xiaoqi, what are the items that can be redeemed with points in this world?"

"Let me see... Holy crap!!!"

"What's wrong?"

"...The item that can be exchanged in this world is a drop of 'essence blood' from the God of War Yunqi."

A single drop of "essence blood" is equivalent to ten thousand years of War God Yun Qi's cultivation. Although Yun Qi has lived in this world for tens of millions of years, ten thousand years of cultivation is not something that can be given away so easily...

Xiaoqi was a little nervous: "Qiqi, this exchange quest is strange. It's the first time I've encountered one that requires harming yourself to obtain the exchange item. Let's not do it. The exchange points here are nothing compared to the points for this quest! We don't want these points!"

Yun Qi pondered, "There's more than just Yun Qi as a war god in this world... It actually specifically asked for the 'essence blood' of 'War God Yun Qi'... That's really strange..."

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, "Exactly! This exchange quest is too strange! Qi Qi, let's not do this exchange quest!"

Yunqi pondered, "...Hmm...I'll postpone this exchange task for now."

"Uh-huh!!"

On the other side

Bai Ziyu looked at all the items Qingluan had packed, including his usual bedding, table, chairs, books, and clothes...

Qingluan bowed respectfully: "Young Master Bai, my lord has sent over all the items you used in Qingyun Palace, as a way of repaying the kindness shown to you when he saved and cared for you. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. Young Master Bai will have no further connection with Qingyun Palace. Do you understand, Young Master Bai?"

Bai Ziyu's face flushed red and then turned pale, filled with anger and distress: "I don't believe it! I don't believe Master would abandon me!"

Qingluan's eyes flashed sharply: "Young Master Bai, watch your words! You have never formally become a disciple of the Divine Lord, so where did you get this master from?!"

"Wait a minute!" Bai Ziyu realized, "Yun Qi is now a flower..."

Qingluan slapped Bai Ziyu: "How dare you address the Divine Lord by his name?! You little white fox, you have quite the nerve!!"

"Qingluan! You!—" Bai Ziyu was furious. How dare a mere maid treat her like this!

"Please be careful with your words, Young Master Bai!" Qingluan looked at Bai Ziyu quietly. "Is it because the Divine Lord has been too kind to you that you've forgotten your divine identity?"

The identity of the God-King? He is the decisive and ruthless God of War in the divine realm.

The fox clan members immediately thought of Yun Qi's formidable reputation. They had heard that several of her servants from Qingyun Palace had been dismissed and killed on the spot for disrespecting her recently... and dozens of other servants had their immortal bones stripped and were banished to the mortal realm...

Even though they were merely servants of Qingyun Palace, they had reached the level of "immortals," a level higher than the "demons" of his Qingqiu Fox Clan! The War God Yunqi could kill or demote them at will…

What is the Qingqiu Fox Clan worth then? Their rise in status was solely due to the God of War's special treatment of Young Master Bai Ziyu…

It now seems that the young master angered the Goddess of War Yunqi, and even the things the young master used in Qingyun Palace were sent back to Qingqiu...

It seems that the War God Yunqi is trying to sever ties with the Qingqiu Fox Clan...
