Feng Chu and Hua Yan had a disagreement, but they didn't fight for A Yao's sake. Afterwards, the three of them traveled together to Qingyao Continent, where the Wood Spirit Clan lived. Although Feng Chu and Hua Yan had a falling out, they made up soon after because Hua Yan was such a good cook.
Hua Yan secretly told A Yao:
"I was only being lenient because he's a child."

The Demon Realm.
Two crimson moons hung in the sky, and on a plain, millions of demons were locked in a fierce battle. Most of these demons belonged to the fire demons, shadow demons, and trolls, and the three factions clashed here. Blood had already stained the earth red, and corpses lay everywhere.
These demons, their eyes bloodshot with rage, suddenly saw a beam of light shoot into the sky from afar. A deafening roar followed, and the entire earth shook violently. The terrifying power emanating from the distance tore through the ground, and the cracks extended to the plains where the battle raged. A terrifying aura also caused all three forces to cease their fighting and turn their gazes toward the distant horizon.
What happened?
The heavens trembled, and a murderous aura surged, forming a massive red vortex in the sky that covered an area of hundreds of millions of miles, causing countless demons to tremble in fear.
The demons, who had stopped fighting, stared in horror at the red mist approaching. They instinctively felt fear and wanted to flee, but for some reason, their bodies wouldn't move.
They watched helplessly as the red mist spread in, engulfing the earth beneath their feet and then swallowing them whole. They didn't even have time to let out a shrill scream before their flesh and blood were drained, and they all fell down as skeletons.
The crimson mist continued to spread into the distance, instantly taking away the lives of hundreds of millions of demons. Wherever the crimson mist reached, even Great Luo Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings could not escape death.
A moment later, the red mist receded towards one place, just as quickly as it had spread out, and soon retreated back to an ancient battlefield.
The place was littered with corpses, and death energy swirled like a sea. The red light retreated to the place where the death energy was most concentrated, where there was a huge sphere of light. Inside the sphere were many chunks of flesh, which wriggled and clung together.
Before long, a completely naked man appeared.
His long, jet-black hair cascaded down his back, his skin was slightly pale, and his blood-red eyes flashed with a cruel and ruthless cold light. His appearance was impeccably handsome, and his body was so perfect that it seemed to have been sculpted a million times. His limbs were long and muscular, full of power, and there was a striking red totem on his chest, which looked like the character "Yao".
A crimson light enveloped the man's body, transforming into a magnificent black robe. The wind whipped his long hair into a fluttering dance. He reached out and touched his chest; even after his body had reformed, the mark remained.
This man was none other than Lou Munan. More than 15,000 years ago, his physical body was destroyed because of Xu Fengzhi. Now he has reconstituted his body. This body is exactly the same as his former one. Now his appearance is no longer that of Xu Fengzhi, but that of Lou Munan himself.
However, even after his body was reassembled, and even though Xu Fengzhi's consciousness had completely disappeared, the connection between him and A Yao remained unbroken.
Thinking of this, Lou Munan's eyes grew even colder.

Qingyaozhou.
Qingyaozhou is one of the most scenic areas in the ancient world, and it has been the territory of the Wood Spirit Clan since ancient times. Upon arriving in Qingyaozhou, one is greeted by a breathtaking array of exotic flowers and rare herbs.
The Wood Spirits are close to nature; their caves and cities are built according to the terrain, preserving their original state as much as possible. Both men and women of the Wood Spirits love flowers and plants and are skilled in singing and dancing. The Hundred Flower Festival is a very important festival for the Wood Spirits, held only once every hundred years, and each time it attracts many spectators.
When Ayao, Feng Chu, and Hua Yan arrived, the place was already bustling with activity. Walking along Qingyaozhou, no matter where they went, they saw clusters of flowers.
The Wood Spirits are all exceptionally good-looking and hospitable, especially fond of good-looking guests. A Yao, Feng Chu, and Hua Yan are very popular because of their good looks, and with their cultivation levels, they are invited to visit wherever they go.
"Isn't this place fun? I came here last time with my master," Hua Yan said with a smile.
At this moment, Ayao was walking down the street with Huayan and Fengchu. Fengchu was holding a lot of skewers, and the Light Thunder Beast was standing on his shoulder, munching on a flower cake with its little paws, its cheeks bulging. Ayao was eating a pie, while Huayan was holding a wine jar and taking a couple of sips every few steps.
Ayao nodded: "I've heard that there are many rare and precious materials in the market here. I'd like to go and take a look."
“There are markets everywhere, why don’t we take a stroll first? Look how beautiful this scenery is! That tree over there is so pretty, let’s go take a look.” Hua Yan said with a smile and flew off ahead.
Ayao and Feng Chu followed behind her. Ahead stood a colossal tree, tens of thousands of feet tall, with numerous caves built into its trunk. The thick trunk, connected to various parts, resembled naturally formed paths. The leaves were dense, and vines hung down like green curtains. Walking along the natural tree trunk paths, smelling the fragrance of flowers and admiring the scenery, was incredibly pleasant.
Suddenly, she heard a melodious zither tune. The music sounded very familiar to A Yao. With a thought, she directed her consciousness to a certain place and saw a man dressed in white, as white as snow, playing the zither on a green field where a clear spring was gurgling in the distance. The man was extremely handsome and had an unparalleled demeanor.
Cranes circled around him, a gentle breeze stirred his long silver hair, and flower petals drifted onto his white robes—the scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
Luo Bai and A Yao were surprised.
She didn't expect Luo Bai to be here. Although this guy had clones running around everywhere, she hadn't seen his real body for over ten thousand years. She was truly surprised to see his real body here.
"Huh? The Dragon Emperor."
Hua Yan exclaimed in surprise, clearly having also seen the man in white. Hua Yan knew Luo Bai; her master, Li Yan, had dealt with Luo Bai quite a bit, and she and Li Yan were often together, inseparable.
Feng Chu also saw Luo Bai. It was the first time he had seen Luo Bai. He looked at A Yao in surprise after seeing Luo Bai's face clearly: "Nangong Qi?"
Ayao shook her head: "He is the Dragon Emperor."
Feng Chu blinked, a little puzzled. But upon closer inspection, she realized that the white-clad man playing the zither couldn't possibly be Nangong Qi.
"Ayao, is he here to see you?" Hua Yan winked at Ayao, her smile very ambiguous.
Ayao: "..."
How could she know about this?
Hua Yan suddenly pulled Feng Chu: "Young rooster, let's go to the other side."
"Don't call me a virgin!!" Feng Chu glared at Hua Yan and shouted.
"Young chicken! Young chicken! I'll squawk! You've eaten so much of my good food, and now you won't even let me squawk!" Hua Yan said, pulling Feng Chu along as they flew off in one direction. The two of them flew away noisily, leaving only A Yao standing there.
To be honest, Ayao didn't know what to say to Luo Bai. She stood there hesitating for a long time before finally flying towards Luo Bai.
