Once they started talking, Youyou realized how easy Yuan Qi was to talk to. He was not only kind and good-tempered, but also sincere. He didn't hide anything and just said it directly. He was truly gentle and refined, and to make matters worse, he was good-looking. He seemed to have a kind of magic that made people feel relaxed. And perhaps because she called him "Dad" so often, Yuan Qi's gaze towards her was filled with a sense of tolerance and doting.
Yuan Qi said that the collapse of the Moon Sea Secret Realm was inevitable, as it was originally his place of slumber, existing only because of his divine power. Now that he has awakened, the secret realm, lacking the support of divine power, will naturally collapse.
Youyou didn't care whether the secret realm collapsed or not; what she felt bad about was that such a large supermarket was gone just like that. She wished they had gathered more spiritual plants in the first place; it was such a waste that it was destroyed like this.
"Although the secret realm is destroyed, the things from that world have already merged into this continent. They are scattered everywhere and still exist," Yuan Qi comforted him.
Youyou's lips twitched, and she patted his shoulder, saying, "It would have been better if you hadn't said that. Now that you've said it, it makes me look even more pathetic." At least before it was a supermarket, you could just walk in and grab whatever you wanted. Now it's scattered into thousands of small shops, who knows where to buy anything? And the key question is, who knows if it's still free or not?
Yuan Qi's smile grew even gentler as he patted her head reassuringly, saying, "Holding those things might not be a good thing for you."
You You glanced back at him and nodded, saying, "I understand!" Having a treasure is a crime, after all. Although she didn't know much about this world or the people of the various immortal sects, she understood human nature to some extent. The True Evolution Sect was just a newly established small sect, and Yuan Qi was a god. It was easy to imagine the sensation that a contract with a god would cause; it was impossible to avoid attracting envy.
She couldn't guarantee that every immortal sect was a gentleman. The last time Wangxu attacked was a case in point; if a sect on the verge of collapse acted this way, what chance did other powerful sects have? Therefore, before gaining absolute strength, it was essential to play it safe for now!
Yuan Qi certainly had the ability to move the entire secret realm to their True Evolution Sect, but such a move would inevitably provoke the indignation of all immortal sects. That's why he directly shattered the secret realm, dispersing it to various places to divert the attention of all factions. They were eager to find the treasures within those secret realms, rather than investigating who had awakened the gods.
It must be said that Yuan Qi is a very gentle person. They hadn't even asked him to, yet he had already considered everything thoroughly and taken the initiative to do it. He was instantly even more satisfied with the God of Wealth and just wanted to speed up the process of moving the people back so he could immediately start attracting wealth.
You You's plan was brilliant. Although she didn't know exactly how the Qilin brought wealth, gods always have some special abilities. Just thinking about not having to painstakingly raise disciples anymore made the sky suddenly seem bluer, the grass greener, and even the blazing flames on Feng Rong's head appear more vibrant!
"Who is he?!" Feng Rong stared intently at Yuan Qi next to You You, her gaze fixed on the seal on his forehead that resembled both wind and flame. She exploded, her eyes turning crimson as she turned and angrily demanded, "You! Where did you bring this wild man back from?"
Youyou: "..."
What do you mean by "wild man"?
"His name is Yuan Qi! He'll be a member of our True Exploration Sect from now on," You You replied, then recounted everything that had happened in the Moon Sea Secret Realm. Upon hearing that the other party was a member of the Divine Race, Ling Qi and the others were all shocked and incredulous, except for Feng Rong.
"You really chose him as your follower?!" Feng Rong's entire body shattered with rage, her words tumbling out incoherently. She pointed at Yuan Qi, then at You You, "You...you actually betrayed me, another one...Are you blind? Why would you choose someone like this? Does he have any relatives? Does he have any family? Besides his good looks, what can he bring to the sect? And is his face even as good as mine?" He's such a grown man right in front of her, can't she see him?
"Don't talk nonsense!" Youyou immediately interrupted him, "Don't you know Dad's abilities?" A legendary money-bringing beast, one person is equivalent to a bank, what need is there for relatives, aristocratic families, or bicycles? "Besides, I chose my followers, why are you angry?"
"I...you..." Feng Rong choked for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to start. She felt the anger in her chest rising layer by layer, like flames burning her heart with pain. She said angrily, "Didn't you say before that you should be careful and cautious when choosing followers, which is why you rejected me! You've only been gone for a short time, and you've already brought back some wild man?"
"..." You You was taken aback. What was the point of comparing them? But seeing how furious he was about to explode, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you also want to ascend?"
He was taken aback. "What?"
“Aren’t you also at the Nascent Soul stage?” Youyou blurted out. Yuan Qi was a god and there was no need to worry about him ascending, which was why she decided to form a contract with him. “I’ve thought about this for a while, but I don’t know what will happen if I form a contract with you. If you’ve thought it through and really want to be a follower, I can form a contract with you right now!”
What? Now!
"..." Feng Rong was stunned, staring at her serious face. Suddenly, as if struck by a sudden thought, her face flushed crimson. A single sentence flashed through her mind.
She said... she had wanted to make a contract with him for a long time!
(ˊ?ˋ)
The raging anger that had just been burning within him vanished as if doused with water, leaving his face flushed even redder by the rising steam. His eyes darted around inexplicably, and he stammered, "Who...who's with you? I want to be your follower? I'm just worried you'll get scammed. I...I...I don't care about you! Humph! Let's go!"
After saying that, he turned around, stomped his feet hard on the ground and walked out, pulling the bewildered Feng Yu along with him. His pace quickened, giving the impression of a hasty escape.
He didn't stop until he walked all the way back to his courtyard, his face burning even more intensely. He subconsciously touched his face and murmured to himself, "You know... she's been refusing to make a pact with me because she's afraid I'll end up like Elder Yuan, flying away and never coming back, so... she can't bear to part with me?"
"..." Feng Yu froze for a moment. No, the sect leader's words just now were not ambiguous. How could you interpret them like that?
"Cough! That must be it. I knew it. How could that You woman possibly think that stinky Qilin is better than me!" Feng Rong took a deep breath and continued speaking without needing an answer. "So that's what she's been worried about all along. What a worrying fool. Should I tell her the truth?"
"..." No, my lord! Wake up!
Σ⊙▃⊙川
"Forget it!" Before Feng Yu could object, Feng Rong sighed and gave up. "It's not the right time yet. If... we'll talk about it later."
Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he hadn't been driven mad with anger.
"My lord, that Yuan Qi is a god, so could he... have noticed something?"
Feng Rong's face darkened, her hands tightened, and her fingertips unconsciously pinched her sleeves. She said, "No need to worry. He didn't say anything just now, so he probably didn't realize it."
"Oh, that's good!" Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
