After chatting for a while, Ji Yun slowly released Yue Xi.
"This is what you left behind."
Yuexi returned Ji Yun's belongings to him. There was practically nothing left; all the valuables had been used up, leaving only some clothes and a cell phone.
"Oh, right, I'll take you to meet my disciples." Ji Yun pulled Yue Xi out.
Actually, she also wanted to meet the disciples that Ji Yun was willing to wait a year to bring with him to ascend to the heavens.
The two first arrived at Xunmeng'er's residence.
After Xunmeng'er opened the door, she asked in surprise, "Master, who is this?"
"Let me introduce you to someone. This is your master's wife, her name is Yuexi." Ji Yun introduced her without blushing or skipping a beat.
Yuexi quickly said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. He and I are just ordinary friends. Just call me Yuexi."
Ji Yun was speechless. Just now she said they weren't even ordinary friends. Ha, women.
"Okay, I've met Master Yuexi. What do you mean by 'friend'?" Xunmeng'er was a little confused. This was her master's Daoist partner after his transformation? She seemed rather beautiful.
Yuexi realized what was going on. Having often chatted with Ji Yun, she quickly explained, "It's what you meant, fellow Daoist. Also, please don't call me Master's Wife."
"Yes, Master's wife."
Xun Meng'er was about to invite them in for tea, but Ji Yun waved his hand, "No need, we still need to see your senior brothers and sisters."
Ji Yun pulled Yue Xi away quickly, secretly giving Xun Meng'er a thumbs up from behind.
Seeing this, Xunmeng'er was overjoyed and was about to go chat with Qiuyan.
"I already told you not to call me 'Master's Wife,' why didn't your disciple listen? Also, don't take advantage of me. We're not even ordinary friends anymore."
"You just said you were just ordinary friends."
"I was just giving you face, so you wouldn't lose face in front of your disciple."
"Then thank you."
Ji Yun led Yue Xi along the long corridor, crossing a small bridge. The bridge was surrounded by cultivated spiritual flowers, which smelled wonderful and comforting.
As they passed by, a maid was pruning the flowers and plants. Upon seeing them arrive, she bowed and said, "Please take your time, gentlemen. If you need anything, please call Yu'er."
Ji Yun nodded. The mountain and water cave was very large and had many restrictions set up, such as prohibiting flying, for fear that someone would damage it.
The forces in the Eastern Spirit Continent are quite diverse. Apart from some independent cultivators and passing cultivators, very few people would spend immortal essence stones to live in these cave dwellings.
Go to the place where you sing.
After opening the door, Ji Yun introduced, "This is my fellow Daoist, Yue Xi."
Then he gave Huo Ge a wink, and Huo Ge immediately understood. He put away his fan, bowed, and said, "Junior Huo Ge is Master's third disciple. Greetings, Master's wife!"
"Your master and I are just ordinary friends. We can simply address each other as fellow Daoist."
Yuexi found it strange that everyone was calling her "Master's Wife" when she had clearly said they were just fellow Daoists.
Huo Ge quickly waved his hand and bowed again, saying, "This junior dares not address you as a fellow Daoist. Master's wife, Master, please come in and rest."
Ji Yun pulled Yue Xi and prepared to leave, saying, "No need, you continue your cultivation. Don't worry about the Immortal Essence Stones. Remember to let me know if anything happens."
"Yes, Master and Mistress, take care!"
Yuexi glanced at Huoge. This person seemed quite pleasing to the eye, so why couldn't he understand what she was saying?
He bowed again and saw the two out.
Not far from the next door was Dong Yisi's cave. Ji Yun pulled Yue Xi and walked over there.
At this moment, Yuexi suddenly realized something and hesitated, saying, "Um... I don't think I have a gift for you."
"No need, I'll get it next time."
"This isn't a good idea."
"It's alright, trust me. I've given them enough. You just ascended and have nothing. We can give them more when we have the chance later."
After hearing Ji Yun's words, Yue Xi could only breathe a sigh of relief. Generally speaking, it was customary to give a gift upon meeting, but she would deal with it later.
After meeting the remaining two disciples, they returned to their cave.
You're saying the one in the mirror is a little kid?
Ji Yun was somewhat surprised. After hearing about the man's situation, she understood why he was so withdrawn; he had been staying in the secret realm all day without ever leaving.
"He's pitiful. Few people talk to him. He inherited the family's legacy shortly after birth, just like the little girl you're taking care of, except he can't go outside."
Ji Yun pondered for a moment, and then he had an idea about the person who had been helping Yue Xi for the past few years. He said, "If there is an opportunity, we can help him when our cultivation level is higher."
“Yes, that’s what I think too,” Yuexi agreed.
"By the way, protect me while I absorb the remaining divine soul energy and see if I can break through in one fell swoop."
Ji Yun took out the spiritual mountain he had refined, and now this small spiritual mountain was placed in front of him.
Although the cave was rich in spiritual energy, he still felt it wasn't enough, so he took out the Spirit Mountain.
After absorbing all the energy, the Dharma Form was activated, but now it is just an empty shell, devoid of any spirit.
A small black ball, surrounded by cracks.
The spiritual energy was continuously absorbed into the black sphere, and the cracks slowly disintegrated like a spider web.
A beam of light shone forth, and the divine soul underwent a complete transformation, merging with the Dharma form.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented power, and the Supreme Intuition was activated.
As if it were running out of spiritual energy, it directly absorbed the spiritual mountain into its body.
A moment later, Ji Yun opened his eyes and said happily, "I sensed it. Now we can go back at any time."
"Oh, then you can go back," Yuexi said calmly.
Ji Yun put away his Dharma form. What's wrong with this woman? She's still so arrogant after all this time.
"You said you'd come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but something unexpected happened, so you're not coming back with me now?"
"That's your home, not mine. We're not even ordinary friends anymore."
Ji Yun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then how can we go back to being ordinary friends?"
"You're dreaming!" Yuexi was angry just thinking about it. He had made her misunderstand and made her so sad that she almost stopped talking to him.
Ji Yun approached her step by step, and she retreated step by step. "What do you want to do...?"
Ji Yun wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her, feeling the warmth of her lips.
"Ugh... let me go..."
Yuexi's mind went blank. By the time she came to her senses, Ji Yun had already let go of her.
"We're just friends now, aren't we?"
"no!"
Yuexi took a few breaths, her face slightly flushed.
Ji Yun hugged her tightly again and kissed her.
After a long while, Yuexi's body went weak. She struggled for a moment before pushing him away, panting.
"Are we still just ordinary friends?" Ji Yun asked again.
Yuexi wanted to escape, but was held tightly. At this moment, her strength was clearly insufficient to restrain Ji Yun.
Yuexi blushed deeply, lowered her head, and turned it slightly away, refusing to answer him.
"I'll continue even if it's not already done." Ji Yun said, and then moved closer.
"We're just friends." Yuexi pushed hard against Ji Yun's chest, trying to push him away. When she couldn't, she hurriedly said, "Let go of me! Your saliva stinks!"
“We cultivators don’t smell bad, and I have no filth on me.”
"It stinks! Let go of me!"
