Mo Wuyu sat calmly in the hall, waiting for Ruoruo.
As darkness fell, he sat in the darkness until dawn, never leaving the room.
Li Jun'an discovered that Mo Wuyu was not in the room, nor were the little fox and the kitten. He also heard that Mo Wuyu and Yan Qingran were arguing and confronting each other in the hall. Terrified, he came to look for them.
"Junior Brother Yu, the Heavenly Curtain will open tomorrow, let's just forget about it," Li Jun'an advised through gritted teeth.
Behind Yan Qingran's back, he secretly gave Mo Wuyu a wink, signaling him to leave first.
Mo Wuyu is not usually one to make things difficult for others; he either agrees or disagrees, and he is decisive and straightforward in his actions.
He would never stand up to someone for this long.
Unless this matter crosses his bottom line.
Looking at the vanished little fairy beasts and spirit beasts, Li Jun'an could roughly guess why Mo Wuyu had done this.
Mo Wuyu slightly raised his eyes: "The Young Palace Master promised that if Ruoruo is alright, I will wait here for her return."
“Then you can’t miss the opening of the sky curtain! This is a rare opportunity. Why don’t we leave this place first and then discuss what to do next?” Li Jun’an thought Mo Wuyu was too stubborn.
If the little cuties were really taken away by the young master, they won't come back no matter how long they wait here.
Why don't they leave here first, and then look for another opportunity to explore? Maybe there will be a turning point.
Mo Wuyu roughly understood Li Jun'an's implication.
He knew all too well that waiting here for too long was not a good choice.
But he had no other choice.
Because he knew that Ruoruo was not an ordinary little fairy beast.
She is highly skilled and of noble status; she is not someone the young palace master can easily manipulate.
He had initially suspected the young master, but quickly dismissed the idea.
This young palace master is probably from the immortal realm, just like Ruoruo, and they have known each other for a long time and trust each other a lot.
In that case, waiting for Ruoruo here is the best option.
However, he couldn't tell Li Jun'an these deductions. Although he didn't know why Ruoruo came to his side incognito, since Ruoruo wanted to hide her identity, he wouldn't reveal any of these things to Li Jun'an.
Li Jun'an, unaware of Mo Wuyu's considerations, glared at him with exasperation, muttered "stubborn" under his breath, and then cheerfully bid farewell to Yan Qingran: "In that case, I'll take my leave first."
His expression turned serious as soon as he turned around.
It seems the only solution is to ask his great-aunt for help.
We absolutely cannot let those two little foxes be caught and used as scarves.
But they hadn't even stepped out of the main hall yet.
Yan Qingran pointed a finger at Li Jun'an from afar, and a golden rope shot out from her fingertip, binding Li Jun'an tightly.
"Don't let your wild thoughts cause me any trouble." Yan Qingran rested her chin on her hand, and with a flick of her fingers, Li Junan was pulled back as if by an irresistible hand.
His expression changed slightly: "Young Palace Master, what do you mean by this?"
“It doesn’t mean anything. The little fox is with Ruoruo now and is perfectly safe. But they can’t tolerate being disturbed right now.” Yan Qingran directly fixed Li Junan to the seat, making him unable to move. “If we let you out of this door, you’ll probably send people to disturb my Yunyao Immortal Palace and inevitably bother them. It’s better to sit here and wait with us.”
Li Junan held the secret technique in his hand and struggled quietly for a while, but found that he could not only not break the rope, but he could not even loosen his grip.
He looked at Yan Qingran with a look of horror, finally remembering that this person referred to himself as "this one".
She is not Yun Youcheng, the young master of Yunyao Immortal Palace, at all.
The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat oppressive. On the other side, Ruoruo slowly exhaled and put all the newly prepared antidote into a pill bottle.
These antidotes were all like soft crystals, clear and transparent.
“Three thousand six hundred rounds.” Yue Rou counted all the ammunition, then looked at Ruoruo with concern. “Your Highness, would you like to rest for a while?”
The antidote for the Ghost Pill is quite complicated to make, and Ruoruo is very picky about the quality of the pill.
Therefore, she can only refine ten batches at a time to ensure that each batch produces a full 36 pills.
Each batch takes half an hour to refine, and she refined these 3,600 pills for a full five hours without taking a break.
This level of alchemy intensity was nothing to Ruoruo.
Unfortunately, they were in the lower realm at this moment, and Ruoruo had to make sure that she didn't reveal too much of her strength, lest she create another hole in this realm.
The sky seemed as thin as paper to her.
Therefore, she had to control her cultivation level with all her might and concentrate on refining pills. Now, Ruoruo was so tired that she just wanted to lie on the futon and catch her breath.
"How many people are there in your tribe? Each person must refine at least two pills."
It would be difficult to completely eliminate all the toxins from the elixir with just one pill.
“Aside from those who have already died, there are probably five or six thousand left,” Yue Rou said, suppressing the grief in her heart.
Back then, their Celestial Fox Clan had nearly ten thousand members.
Now, more than half of them have withered away.
Ruoruo took a deep breath and scrambled to her feet: "Then there's no time to rest."
She wanted to accompany her brother to the Upper Realm. The celestial curtain would open in a dozen or so hours, and she had to hurry.
Ruoruo gritted her teeth and, relying on her understanding of the properties of elixirs, added a few more elixir furnaces.
In the hall, Li Jun'an grew increasingly anxious, and fine beads of cold sweat seeped from his forehead: "The sky curtain will open at midnight. If we delay any longer, we will miss this opportunity to open the sky curtain. The young palace master has never had any grudges with the Li family. Surely he won't keep me here forever?"
Yan Qingran sipped her tea casually, a slight smile playing on her lips: "What? Aren't you going to wait for your little fox? If you leave now, I'll tell the little fox that you abandoned them and ran away when they come back."
Li Jun'an lowered his eyes, concealing the fear in them: "There are so many spirit foxes in the world, why should I wait for these two? Young Palace Master, please let me go quickly, I don't want to miss such a good opportunity to open the sky curtain."
He needed to keep this imposter calm first, and as soon as he left, he would immediately go to his aunt for help, and while he was at it, he would go to the Palace Master of Yunyao Palace to complain about her.
With the help of Yunyao Immortal Palace, once this imposter is dealt with, he won't have to worry about not finding his little fox.
"Oh, I see." Yan Qingran's words were tinged with a hint of teasing. "You two heard that, didn't I force him to say it?"
Li Jun'an was stunned for a moment, then heard a howl behind him. He immediately looked up in disbelief at the two foxes, one big and one small, nudging the little white cat as they walked forward.
It was like being doused with cold water; I realized I'd said the wrong thing.
Mo Wuyu's mind and eyes were completely focused on the little white cat in the very center, carried on the back of the big fox.
He immediately stood up, walked a few steps to her, and stretched out his hand to her: "Ruo Ruo, I've come to pick you up."
Ruoruo let out a soft whimper, struggled to crawl into Mo Wuyu's palm, slowly let out a sigh of relief, and closed her eyes.
Finally, I can rest...
