Upon opening the door, a tall, elegant figure stood inside. The person was dressed in a blue robe, and the back view looked somewhat familiar.
Qi Yu squinted as she watched the person slowly turn around.
Upon seeing the person's face clearly, Qi Yu raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"...Young Master Ren?"
The man looked to be around twenty years old, with delicate features and a small brown mole on the right corner of his mouth. He smiled gently and nodded at Qi Yu.
"Miss Yu, how have you been?"
This person was none other than Ren Pingsheng, who had entered the secret realm for trials with Qi Yu during the Flying Star Sect's recruitment ceremony, and then disappeared after demonic cultivators appeared in the secret realm.
Qi Yu crossed his arms and said bluntly, "So Young Master Ren isn't dead?"
Ren Pingsheng coughed lightly and said, "I left without saying goodbye because I had some urgent business. The demon beast in that storage bag was an apology I left for Miss Yu. I hope you won't mind."
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm still number one even without the demonic beasts in your bag."
Ren Pingsheng wanted to continue explaining, but Qi Yu blocked his mouth with one hand and said, "Alright, since you were able to find your way here, you must be someone who's not easy to deal with. Tell me quickly, what's your purpose?"
Back when Qi Yu hadn't yet revealed her strength, everyone was avoiding her, and Ren Pingsheng came over wanting to team up with her. At the time, she thought Ren Pingsheng was just a nice guy who couldn't stand seeing someone alone.
...In short, it's impossible for her to keep wearing a face that's just not pretty no matter how you look at it, just because of her appearance.
So now that I think about it, I'm afraid Ren Pingsheng had ulterior motives in getting close to her back then.
As for the purpose...
Seeing Qi Yu's impatient look, Ren Pingsheng touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Ahem, I had no choice but to do this. Miss Yu must already know that the Blood Fiend Sect is colluding with the Demon Realm and intends to conquer the Boundless Continent."
"Hmm," Qi Yu said, "and then?"
Ren Pingsheng snapped his fingers, and a gentle breeze suddenly filled the room.
A long, green-bodied creature appeared out of thin air, with a unicorn's head, two horns, and two long white whiskers around its mouth, majestic and awe-inspiring, resembling a legendary dragon.
Qi Yu narrowed her eyes. "Is this the little green worm you were carrying back then?"
Ren Pingsheng: "?"
Azure Dragon: "???"
The sound of a heart breaking.
Suddenly, something stirred in Qi Yu's arms. Feng Xiao, who had just woken up, poked her head out, flapped her wings, and flew out of Qi Yu's arms, transforming into a silver-haired beauty.
Feng Xiao frowned and looked at the Azure Dragon, saying, "Why is this dragon so thin?"
Azure Dragon: "………………"
Another sound of heartbreak.
Damage is doubled.
The Azure Dragon was completely wretched, coiling limply around Ren Pingsheng like a small snake that had lost its ideals.
Ren Pingsheng: "..."
He shook the Azure Dragon on his body as if he were holding a child, and said apologetically to Qi Yu and Feng Xiao, "I'm sorry, the child is shy."
Qi Yu, having amused himself enough, felt much better and asked, "Are you a member of the Azure Dragon Kingdom's royal family?"
Back then, she was at Xingqi Peak of the Flying Star Sect, where she taught Prince Long Ya of the Azure Dragon Kingdom a lesson on behalf of Bai Huan. The Azure Dragon summoned by that prince looked exactly the same as the listless little dragon in front of her...
Hmm. This one in front of me is really much thinner.
It seems to be a minor.
To her surprise, Ren Pingsheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I am not a son of the royal family of the Azure Dragon Kingdom."
Qi Yu: "?"
She asked疑惑地问道, "Then how did you get together with Qinglong...?"
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly thought of someone.
The person who had just appeared and spoken to her.
Zhu Que.
Zhu Que was not a prince of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom, but he wore a vermilion headband that only sons of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom's royal family could wear, and was granted the title of a king of a different surname.
Back then, in Wucheng, when she exposed that she had made Li An, the son of the Qiankun Fortress elder, mentally impaired, Gou Dan took a blow for her. Then, Zhu Que revealed a strength that was completely inconsistent with his cultivation level and saved Gou Dan. After that, he continued to take care of Gou Dan.
And then there's his unusual name.
Zhu Que...
Vermilion Bird.
Qi Yu's eyes shifted, and Ren Pingsheng smiled and said, "Miss Yu should have already guessed that the four divine beasts do not choose their successors based on bloodline. When a divine beast is reincarnated, it will also choose a contractor as a partner, and I happen to be the contractor of the Azure Dragon."
Oh, in other words, it's about finding a meal ticket.
Look at this Azure Dragon! Last time I saw it, it was so small. Now it's gotten so fat from being fed.
“I sparred with a prince from the Azure Dragon Kingdom earlier. He also received the Azure Dragon inheritance and can summon an Azure Dragon phantom.” Qi Yu glanced at the Azure Dragon and said, “But halfway through the fight, he suddenly shouted that his Azure Dragon Seal was gone and the Azure Dragon inheritance had been taken back. Do you know about this?”
Ren Pingsheng smiled and said, "Borrowing the power of the Azure Dragon, the Azure Dragon will naturally know. Although that child has good talent, since he spoke rudely to Miss Yu, it would be best to take back the Azure Dragon Seal."
No wonder.
But Qi Yu was still somewhat puzzled, "I don't think I have any connection with either of you, so why are you doing this?"
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
Even if these two... one person and one dragon seem easy to talk to, it's still the same.
Ren Pingsheng said, "To be honest, this is related to Miss Yu's Daoist partner."
Qi Yu: "?"
Ren Pingsheng and Qinglong both turned to look at Feng Xiao, who was idly sipping tea from a cup to the side.
Feng Xiao: "?"
He blinked and said, "Yes, I am Xiaoyu's Daoist partner."
Qi Yu: "..."
