Chapter 129
The hull instantly fell into a chaotic sea of fire amidst the violent vibrations. The terrifying energy waves surged like huge waves, causing the entire sea to boil.
Not only were the creatures on the sea surface panicked, but even the giant beasts hidden deep in the seabed felt the pressure and fled in panic, away from this dangerous area!
Ye Qingyi's magic power took control of the entire space in just a moment.
She walked out of the blazing sea of fire calmly, her signature aqua blue hair fluttering in the wind, her figure slender and tall, dressed in a shirt and trousers, heroic and dashing, without a trace of age. Whoever saw her would think she was just a young girl, no more than 24 years old!
However, she heard "Aunt Ye" one after another.
She was angry. The hull under her feet was instantly engulfed by flames and turned into ashes. Even the sea evaporated a large amount of water vapor under this force, but the water vapor could not touch her at all.
Ye Qingyi looked around sharply. It seemed that something was there just now, but it disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. She activated the tracking magic without hesitation.
Under the clear blue sky, she faced the boundless ocean, quickly processing visual information, and then her figure flashed and disappeared into the vast sea.
In the Elf Tribe, Wang Chang'er was talking with Elf King Firod in the conference room. However, during the conversation, Wang Chang'er's expression suddenly changed, as if he had noticed something.
Firod was a step behind him and sensed an unusual aura. When he looked up, a blue-haired woman appeared before him.
She was imposing and unattainable, and the magic power in her body was as deep as the ocean, unfathomable. Even Philod, the King of Elf, felt the strong oppression coming from her.
Philod was wondering about the identity of this mysterious woman, but Wang Changer suddenly stood up, his eyes full of shock: "Xiao Ye!"
When Philod heard this, he was stunned.
At this time, the blue-haired woman Ye Qingyi smiled slightly, her voice calm and indifferent: "It's me, is Brother Wang coming out too?"
Wang Changer smiled and responded: "Yes, it happened in the past few days."
Ye Qingyi nodded, "Earlier than me."
Wang Changer laughed: "Isn't this waiting for you?"
"Yeah."
It was clearly a reunion after a long separation, but Ye Qingyi seemed to be used to it and was very calm, because they had been separated for a long time before.
During the conversation, a brilliant circle of light quietly emerged behind her.
Their function is nothing else but to collect and digest intelligence, which is equivalent to the external brain in some science fiction works.
She couldn't come up with these things by herself, and the inspiration came from an anime "Ghost in the Shell" shared by her brother Xiu. Xiu mentioned in a casual chat that she was deeply impressed and could not forget it. The inspiration lingered in her heart. After thousands of years of research and exploration, she finally put this magical idea into practice.
The Elf King Philod was observing their conversation from the side and wisely chose to step away temporarily to give them enough space.
Ye Qingyi's gaze gently passed over Philod's departing back, and then turned back to Wang Chang'er. Her words were straightforward and to the point, without any unnecessary words.
"So, what is the situation now, how much do you know, and where is Brother Xiu?"
Wang Chang'er's eyes flashed with shock, surprised yet not surprised, and replied: "Then I'll make it short."
Ye Qingyi nodded: "Okay."
Both of them are decisive people who never drag their feet.
Wang Chang'er quickly and accurately outlined the current situation and the information he had.
Ye Qingyi listened attentively, absorbing and digesting the information quickly. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "So, you are now avenging me as the elves?"
Wang Changer admitted without disguising: "Yes."
Ye Qingyi's lips slightly raised, some memories seemed to emerge in his eyes, and he whispered: "Yes, if I wake up first, I will also avenge you."
Wang Chang'er laughed and said, "No, no, I can do it myself."
Ye Qingyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Leave the matter of the elves to me. This is my own vengeance, and I must settle it myself."
Wang Chang'er fully agreed: "Okay, if you want to help, I'll leave it to you."
There was no unnecessary courtesy or excuses between the two of them, only deep understanding and trust.
After just a few words, the two of them realized one thing: neither of them has changed, which is great.
Ye Qingyi smiled and said, "But wait, I want to see Brother Xiu first."
Wang Chang'er nodded and said, "Do you need me to tell you his address?"
Ye Qingyi shook his head. "No need. I have already sensed his location."
Wang Chang'er exclaimed: "As expected of you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qingyi's figure disappeared in an instant, leaving only a faint blue light flickering in the air.
A few minutes later, Philod knocked on the door.
Wang Chang'er nodded and said, "You can come in."
Philod pushed open the door and glanced calmly around the room.
"She's gone."
Wang Chang'er looked at Philod, "I'm sorry I didn't introduce her just now. She is Ye Qingyi, a brave warrior and also my good friend."
Philod's head seemed to be buzzing, and he felt a shocking sense of witnessing legends appear one after another.
"Let's continue chatting."
Wang Chang'er interrupted Philod's thoughts.
"……good."
Philod calmed himself down and tried to pull himself out of the shock.
-
On the other side, in the courtyard.
The golden shaded cat patted Devon's shoulder leisurely and teased confidently: "Don't worry, how could Aunt Ye hear us talking from such a distance?" As he spoke, his body tilted backward exaggeratedly, like a truck that was about to overturn, or like a large golden whole wheat bread carefully placed in the sun, shining with attractive golden light, and perhaps even emitting a fragrant bread smell.
"Besides, there's no point in saying that Cao Cao will appear. You've watched too much Ultimate Three Kingdoms."
The golden shaded cat smiled jokingly.
"Meow……"
The Devon cat was pressed down by the golden shaded cat's sudden action, and seemed to want to argue something, but at this moment, Hughes' voice broke the silence.
"When you see Xiao Ye, you should call her Sister Ye, not Aunt Ye."
Hughes' voice was calm but powerful.
The two cats froze at the same time.
The golden shaded cat's fur stood on end instantly, and it looked panicked, and turned its head away stiffly. When his eyes met with Zeus's, his body seemed to turn cold instantly, and the whole cat was like a piece of golden whole wheat bread thrown into the freezer.
Oops, oops, their conversation was heard by their father!
“Meow, meow!”
In a hurry, the golden shaded cat meowed away in panic, dancing and waving its hands.
But it was obvious that He could speak human language.
"It doesn't matter. We haven't met yet."
Hughes didn't seem to ask further. He walked to the corridor, bent down and gently touched the golden tabby cat's head, then picked up the two cats and said, "It seems that you know a lot of secrets."
The golden tabby cat buried its face in Zeus' shoulder. He, who had just acted like a big boss cat, now looked like a deflated ball, sweating profusely, and trying to organize his thoughts quickly in his mind.
Just then, a female voice broke the silence.
"Brother Xiu!"
The sudden sound came from the bookstore. The bookstore was connected to the courtyard, and the door was usually closed, but today it was naturally open, allowing people outside to clearly see Hughes and the two cats.
Hughes subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and then froze. He stared wide-eyed, as if he couldn't believe his eyes, as if he suspected that he was dreaming.
The smile of the person who came was exactly the same as the one in Xiusi's memory. Time seemed to have left no trace on her face. Even her eyes were still clear and bright, without a trace of vicissitudes.
"Brother Xiu, it's me, Ye Qingyi. Long time no see." Ye Qingyi stood quietly in place, looking at Xius from a distance of three or four meters, his voice soft but firm.
Xius was still immersed in surprise, but the golden shaded cat in his arms had already widened his eyes, with an expression of "something bad is going to happen" written all over his face.
Ye Qingyi suddenly lowered his head and looked at the golden gradient deeply, with a look full of profound meaning.
The golden shaded cat was dumbfounded and clenched its claws. Meow, Aunt Ye, nephew, I didn't mean it!
At this moment, Xius finally came back to his senses from his shock, his heart filled with excitement, and he quickly walked towards Ye Qingyi.
"Xiao Ye, are you really back?" There was a hint of trembling and joy in Xiusi's voice.
"Yes, Brother Xiu, I just came back." Ye Qingyi responded with a smile.
"Come up to the second floor."
Upon seeing this, the virtuous German cat immediately got busy, preparing to receive the guest. Green tea and snacks must all be in place!
The golden shaded cat seemed to have left its body and looked at Ye Qingyi in disbelief.
In the history of human magic, Ye Qingyi is a great achiever and contributor at the same level as Agares and Matros.
Today, I saw that, wow, how strong is Ye Qingyi? He is as strong as Uncle Wang, right? This is just what can be seen from the outside. His actual strength... can't be at the top echelon, right?
The golden tabby thought quickly, and before he knew it, he was taken upstairs by his father and placed on the sofa next to him. This itself is not a big deal. What is important is that Aunt Ye is next to him! Oh no, it's Sister Ye!
The golden shaded cat was lost in thought while the adults sat on the sofa and talked.
Xius looked at Ye Qingyi deeply, "Do you know about Chang Er's situation?"
Ye Qingyi nodded and replied, "Yeah, I just passed by and took a look at him. He was still the same, nothing had changed."
Xius sighed, "Yeah, you too, I'm surprised."
"but……"
Ye Qingyi stared at Xius, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, he slowly spoke, his lips trembling slightly, "But the most important thing is, Brother Xiu, you are still alive."
Xius was touched by Ye Qingyi's words. He was stunned for a moment, then said softly: "I'm sorry about that incident back then..."
Ye Qingyi interrupted him and said firmly: "No, it was neither an accident nor your fault, Brother Xiu. There is a mastermind behind this. You were murdered. Wang Changer and I will investigate and avenge you."
Her words revealed a strong sense of majesty and determination. She pronounced the word "revenge" with extreme murderous intent, but she subtly restrained this murderous intent, without causing Xius to feel any discomfort.
"Revenge?"
When Hughes heard the word "revenge", his heart was moved. He had no objection at all. His view on good and evil and punishment was very simple, and of course he would not forgive and let this matter pass. There is always a price to pay for harming others, otherwise this world is unfair.
Ye Qingyi smiled to ease the tense atmosphere, and said softly to Xius: "We are investigating the manipulator behind the scenes, and I believe there will be results soon. Brother Xiu, you don't have to worry too much. In addition, I heard from Brother Wang that you have been focusing on upgrading recently. Is the progress very good?"
Hughes nodded and replied, "Yes."
Ye Qingyi was sincerely happy for Xius, "Finally breaking the curse of slow upgrades, that's great."
Hughes asked in confusion: "'Curse'? What does that mean?"
Ye Qingyi explained: "Well, just like the upward limitation of human beings, it is a curse, at least in my opinion."
She added: "Curses are actually similar to words, but the difference is that they are mainly negative words, such as wanting someone to die or to age."
Hughes nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see. If it's a curse, then it must have a source, right?"
When the golden tabby heard this, he suddenly perked up and winked at Ye Qingyi frantically.
But Ye Qingyi didn't seem to notice it at all, and said bluntly: "Yes, yes, we initially suspected that this was the curse of the Creator God."
Upon hearing the word "Creator God", the golden shaded cat almost lost its balance due to shock, and its claws almost missed the target and fell to the ground.
Even the Devon cat who was serving tea was stunned.
Xiu Si was shocked by this sudden information. He paused and asked, "The Creator God? That is..."
"Yes, the Creator God."
Ye Qingyi continued to explain: "We all thought it was just a legend before, but now there are more and more signs that He does exist and has a very clear will."
Xiu Si lowered his eyes and asked curiously: "What kind of god is He?"
Ye Qingyi answered decisively: "Not a good God." She added, "At least not right now. A good God would not be arrogant, would not restrict humans as a threat, and would not regard other creators as threats and be wary of them."
Judging from the fact that He created the evil in the universe and His attitude towards the evil in the universe, He absolutely cannot be a good God, such as the goddess of wisdom or the goddess of harmony.
Ye Qingyi analyzed: "My picture of His godhood is that of a dictator and a totalitarian, with countless divine powers in his body, and a dictatorial, arrogant, and cold personality."
Sounds like a feudal emperor who has reached the pinnacle, Hughes thought.
“Is He also indifferent to His creation?”
Zeus pondered for a moment, and the weak and haggard appearance of Death and Silence emerged in his mind. It didn't look like a natural state at all, as if they had been abused.
"He is extremely cold, at least in my opinion."
Ye Qingyi's tone was somewhat firm. Oftentimes, she preferred to trust her intuition rather than simple logical reasoning.
In her intuition, the Creator God was undoubtedly a chilling and ominous existence. If she used more extreme words to describe it, she would even say: "It is an evil god."
“Is that so?”
When Zeus heard this for the first time, he was full of doubts and confusion. But he could also feel that the Creator God was at least not a being that was full of kindness to all things.
"The situation is a bit complicated and we are investigating it in depth. I will inform you as soon as there is new information."
Ye Qingyi seemed to have noticed the nervous look in Jinzeng's eyes, and did not say anything more about what happened next.
Hughes nodded, "Okay, I understand."
The golden shaded layer finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their sister Ye was really outspoken and almost revealed all their affairs!
Ten minutes later, the topic gradually became stable. The two chatted and laughed, reminiscing about the past.
Xius suddenly thought of Wang Chang'er and said, "Come to think of it, Chang'er seems to have caused a stir among the elves."
"He often causes a stir, don't take it too seriously. If he can't handle that, he wouldn't be the Brave King Chang'er."
Ye Qingyi took a sip of tea, his tone full of confidence in his friend.
After hearing Ye Qingyi's words, Xius's doubts were slightly alleviated. He nodded and said, "You are right."
Ye Qingyi turned his gaze to the golden shaded layer and asked curiously, "Which cub is in Brother Xiu's family?"
Xius smiled and introduced: "The fifth child in the family, his name is Malbus."
As he spoke, he picked up the Devon cat beside him and continued to introduce him: "He is the fourteenth child of the family, Lelakin."
Ye Qingyi's eyes stayed on the golden shaded cat for a moment, which made the golden shaded cat feel cold on the back. But fortunately, her eyes quickly shifted to the Devon cat.
The Devon cat has pure white curly fur and clear, emerald green eyes. It should be incredibly smart, but at this moment it looks a little dazed.
Ye Qingyi only looked at it for a few seconds, and seemed to have gained a lot of insight, appearing a little dazed.
The Devon cat seemed to sense Ye Qingyi's concern. It walked over with soft steps and gently scratched Ye Qingyi's arm with its claws to show its affection.
Ye Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little flattered, but she quickly calmed down and did not pull out her arm. She smiled and approached the Devon cat, and asked gently: "Can I touch you?"
The Devon cat stretched out its paws obediently and turned over its palms. Its tender pink paws looked very beautiful.
Ye Qingyi was bewitched by the furry thing and couldn't help but reach out to hold it. This was her first time holding a cat's paw, and at this moment she felt - exciting!
How soft! She exclaimed in her heart.
In fact, the impact on Ye Qingyi is not just the cat's claw itself, but more importantly - this child is the original ancestor god of the elves!
This handshake seemed to last for a century. Ye Qingyi finally came back to his senses and said to Xius with a trembling voice: "Brother Xiu, this... is really great."
Hughes was confused by her reaction. He paused and asked, "What's wrong? Are you talking about Lelakin?"
Ye Qingyi nodded with admiration in his eyes, and said: "Yes, you are really amazing. It's great to have so many children in the family."
Xius was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "In fact, I didn't do anything. They grew up on their own."
"It's great to have so many children at home."
Ye Qingyi smiled faintly. She was an only child, and she always had some yearning for a family with many members.
"It must be very lively." She couldn't help but sigh.
Xiu Si nodded, his eyes unconsciously showing happiness, and said in a warm voice: "Yes, if they were all here, the house would be more lively. Recently they are going to upgrade, so many of them are not at home."
As he spoke, a hint of loneliness flashed across his eyes for a moment.
"Upgrade?"
Ye Qingyi smiled even more, "Brother Xiu, your children are all good kids. They are really enviable."
After hearing this, Xiu Si smiled slightly and said, "If they hear you say this, they will definitely be very happy."
Ye Qingyi nodded affirmatively, "We will see you."
After saying that, she casually glanced at the golden shaded cat.
The golden gradient suddenly had an idea and called out, "Sister Ye is so beautiful, meow."
This sentence is valid for most people, except Ye Qingyi. In Ye Qingyi's dictionary, beautiful is not a good word. But what Sister Ye said is very pleasant.
The golden gradient understood almost immediately and said again: "Sister Ye is young and powerful!"
This time I got it right. Good nephew!
Ye Qingyi showed a natural and bright smile, "My fifth nephew is fat, like whole wheat bread, and he is quite cute."
The golden shaded cat was overjoyed, but thought that "fat" was unnecessary. He silently corrected himself in his heart, this is called bodybuilding! Besides, I am not bread, you are not allowed to eat meow!
The cat and the man made eye contact.
Hughes smiled and said, "Mal is a relatively talkative child."
Ye Qingyi turned his head, memories flashing in his eyes, "I remember your eldest, second, and third cubs. When they were young, they didn't like to talk much, especially the eldest cub."
Xiu Si nodded and said, "He was also very silent when he grew up."
"That's just personality." Ye Qingyi said lightly.
Although she looked so calm, she was actually still shocked. Apart from anything else, the fact that the demon god Baal was Xiu's child was shocking enough.
She should know because Brother Xiu told her the name back then, but she really couldn't connect the dots.
The tiger cub who was just born and learning to walk in Brother Xiu’s palm would actually become the demon god Baal who would shock the continent and even the entire universe in the future.
It was impossible for her not to be shocked. Secondly, there was Agares. She had seen him more than once. Back then, Agares was still a human being, and appeared in the image of an old man. He was considered the wisest human in history. She was deeply shocked and went to visit him several times, but for some reason, she never managed to see Agares. Now that she thought about it, wow, this was the case.
Xiu's children are so talented. If they work together, they can almost dominate the universe, right? Even this golden whole wheat bread...
Ye Qingyi's eyes fell on the golden gradient. Don't look at him like this, his real identity is the richest man in the universe, a cheating existence who possesses the power of quantity!
Will gold coins fall if I rub his head?
Under her gaze, the golden tabby tilted his head, as if to say, "Auntie, are you okay?"
Ye Qingyi coughed and quickly suppressed the excitement in her heart. No, no, no, he is still Brother Xiu's child. As an aunt, bah, as a sister, how can you covet your nephew's little treasury?
Seeing her paying so much attention to the golden shaded cat, Xiu Si, who was standing by, thought she liked it and smiled without saying anything.
The two reminisced for several hours, discussing not only the past but also Hughes' current upgrade dilemma.
"Can't find any ideas?" Ye Qingyi asked.
"Yes, I made faster progress before because I had the book and the guidance of ideas, but now the ideas in the book have been exhausted, and there is no point in me continuing to read it."
Xiu Si said truthfully.
Ye Qingyi pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "I don't know how the Creator advanced, I will tell you about my experience."
"Okay." Hughes nodded.
Ye Qingyi is one of the most powerful figures in human history and her experience is absolutely valuable.
Ye Qingyi sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "If you can't find a way out after searching everywhere, then you have to find a new way yourself. Didn't Brother Xiu do the same thing before? It's just that we had some books as references in the middle. Now that we have finished reading the books, can't we just go back to the beginning? It is not advisable to rely solely on books. The truly strong ones all find their own way, so Brother Xiu, now may be the time for you to think about your own way."
"My own way."
Xiu Si was not surprised by this. In fact, he had felt it more or less, but he had relied on it for so long that it had become a habit.
Ye Qingyi smiled and said, "Actually, Brother Xiu, have you noticed that, under normal circumstances, upgrading in another world is not that difficult."
“Felt something.”
Xiu Si nodded, thinking that it was true. After getting rid of the "restrictive curse" that Ye Qingyi mentioned, his upgrade could be said to be rapid. Quantitative change naturally led to geological change. As long as he worked hard, he would reap rewards. It was positive feedback all the way, and he hardly took any detours. It seemed that he had guessed correctly in all the choices for leveling up. When he thought about it carefully, he found that he was actually very lucky.
He always felt that... he was always under the protection of someone. He guided him, but he would not let him notice it, because he wanted every step he took to be chosen by himself.
Xiu Si was silent. He vaguely realized who it was. Then he felt relieved and said to himself silently, "Thank you for your hard work. Dad will figure out the rest of the journey."
It was unknown whether the other party heard him or not. He was deep in the dream and did not respond to him.
Next, Ye Qingyi also talked in detail about the experience of upgrading and breaking through levels, especially about level 80 to level 90. As a great mentor, she has taught countless students, so she can understand it easily, and she can grasp a lot of things that can be applied to different fields.
Before they knew it, it was dark. Devon the cat had fallen asleep, curled up in Hughes' lap with his tail tucked in, breathing shallowly and evenly.
The golden shaded cat was also a little sleepy, and the corners of its eyes were red and a little moist.
Ye Qingyi drank the last sip of tea, slowly stood up, and said lightly: "It's been a great chat today, Brother Xiu, see you another day."
Xius also stood up and asked, "Are you going to Chang'er's place?"
Ye Qingyi nodded, with a slightly teasing tone, "Yes, no matter how powerful he is, he is only one person after all, and I need him to be his backer."
"Haha." Xius stopped laughing and said in a deep voice, "It would be great if I could help you too."
Ye Qingyi nodded and said solemnly: "That day will come." In fact, that day has already come, and your children have been helping us.
Xius' eyes were firm, and he said, "Well, I will try my best to keep up with you."
"I hope the next time we meet will be the day for our grand reunion as seven of us."
"Me too."
The two looked at each other and said their final goodbyes.
For some reason, the two little creatures that Xius had just created flew out of his sea of consciousness on their own and circled around Ye Qingyi.
Ye Qingyi showed the most shocked expression of the whole day, opened his eyes wide, and paused for a full minute.
"It's so beautiful." She exclaimed sincerely.
A few seconds later, Ye Qingyi walked into the space channel. The black and white butterfly seemed to be sleepy again, so it returned to Xius's sea of consciousness.
Xius stared at her back until she disappeared, and sighed for a few minutes. Finally, he made up his mind and was no longer confused.
He lowered his head and picked up Devon the cat.
At this time, the golden tabby woke up, looking energetic.
"Father is going to sleep? I'll protect him, meow!"
His "meow" is not as skillful as that of his compatriots, but this clumsiness is also cute.
"Well, thank you for your help."
Zeus touched the golden tabby cat's head and suddenly found that it really felt like kneading bread. It was late at night and he almost felt hungry from touching it.
But "bread" had no sense of self-awareness and was laughing with his hands against his chest.
Oh no, this is even cuter! Hughes was shocked and took a few seconds to take them downstairs, back to the bedroom, and put them in the cat bed.
"If anything happens at night, remember to wake up Dad, okay?"
Hughes gave a warning.
The golden shaded cat nodded vigorously, "Leave it to me, meow!"
Xius felt relieved and went back to bed and fell asleep not long after.
A few minutes later, the golden tabby confirmed various news about the Infinite Trial, then jumped out of the cat bed and ran to the bedside quietly.
He has good news to tell his father: Bruce and his friends have completed the re-editing of history!!
