The sleeping girl let out a soft murmur in her sleep, and the Lord of the Black Nest, seeing that she was about to wake up, instantly disappeared from the room.
After a while, Ayao, who was lying on the big bed, moved her eyelids and opened her eyes. Ayao's azure eyes reflected the things in the room and showed a look of confusion.
She sat up and looked around.
Where am I?
She looked at her clothes. Who had changed her? She felt fine now; the power of the Law of Death had been completely dispelled. All her injuries had healed. Who had saved her? She remembered what happened before she fainted. She... she seemed to have been teleported to the Black Nest by the Deceptive Sect, and she had even met the Lord of the Black Nest.
Was she saved by the Lord of Black Nest?
Ayao tried to release her divine sense, but it was very limited here and couldn't even spread out of the room. Ayao sat on the bed and carefully checked her body again, making sure that she was fine and hadn't been cursed. The Reincarnation Bead was still in her primordial spirit and was unharmed.
She got out of bed and walked outside. When she got to the door, she wanted to open the storage space to change her clothes, but she found that she couldn't open the storage space here. What's going on?
Puzzled, Ayao noticed a set of women's clothing on the table. It seemed to be for her. Ayao walked over, picked up the pale yellow gauze dress, and put it on. She went outside and saw a winding corridor with many exquisite lanterns hanging from it. The colorful lanterns seemed to envelop the starlight of different colors within them.
Looking at the style of the surrounding buildings, Ayao realized that although she hadn't been here before, this must be the Black Nest.
Where are they?
"Is anyone there?" Ayao called out loudly.
Her voice echoed in the empty space, but no one responded to her.
Ayao walked forward and saw the misty clouds under the covered bridge. She saw tall cherry trees with cherry blossoms in full bloom, and each cherry blossom contained a butterfly-like fairy. As soon as these fairies saw her, they disappeared into the flowers.
"Is anyone there?" Ayao called out as she flew forward.
Suddenly, a girl appeared in front of them, a girl in white who looked like a doll. The girl in white was carrying a blue palace lantern and stood at the entrance of the corridor.
Ayao had seen this girl in white before. More than ten thousand years ago, when they came to the Black Nest, this girl in white had guided Ayao and Fengwu. However, Ayao wasn't entirely sure if this was the same girl in white from before. Although they looked exactly the same, many puppets could be made to look alike.
"Are you waiting for me here?" Ayao asked the girl in white.
The girl in white nodded.
Ayao asked, "Did the Lord of the Black Nest send you to wait for me?"
The girl in white nodded gently again.
"So it really was the Lord of the Black Nest who saved me. Can I thank him in person?" Ayao asked.
The girl in white said, "My master doesn't want to see you."
Ayao: "..."
Huh? You don't want to see her? Is she disliked?
Okay, it's true she trespassed into the Black Nest. It's already quite generous of the Black Nest Master not to throw her out; he even treated her. Since he doesn't want to see her, she'd better be sensible. Ayao clasped her hands and said:
"I am truly sorry for trespassing into the Black Nest. Please convey my gratitude to the Lord of the Black Nest for saving my life. If the Lord of the Black Nest has any orders in the future, I will do my best to fulfill them."
The girl in white nodded: "Okay, I'll pass on the message for you."
"Can you take me out now? I want to leave here," Ayao said.
The girl in white shook her head: "Without the master's permission, no living being is allowed to enter or leave the Black Nest."
Ayao said, "Then please ask for my permission, I want to leave here."
The girl in white seemed to blink her empty eyes, and she said, "Okay."
After speaking, her figure slowly faded away. Ayao watched her disappear and stood there waiting. After a while, the girl in white reappeared. Ayao asked her, "Has the Lord of the Black Nest agreed?"
“Master said that you can leave when the Black Nest opens again,” the girl in white said.
"The Black Nest will open again? What does that mean?" Ayao had a bad feeling.
"In over 85,000 years, when the Black Nest trade begins, you will be able to leave this place," the girl in white said.
Ayao: "..."
More than 85,000 years ago!!
Are you kidding me?!
"No, I can't wait that long. I have to leave now, I have something very important to do." Ayao grabbed the white-clad girl's wrist. "Take me to see the Lord of the Black Nest, I want to speak to him personally. I need to leave now."
The white-clad girl's empty eyes stared at A Yao. Her figure slowly faded away, and A Yao watched as the wrist she was holding became more and more transparent before disappearing. She was grasping at thin air.
"Hey! Don't go!" Ayao shouted.
The girl in white left, and A Yao searched everywhere for someone, but after searching and searching, she couldn't find a single creature she could communicate with. She simply shouted, "Senior Lord of the Black Nest, this junior is grateful for your life-saving grace. Feng Yao will never forget this kindness. In the future, no matter what task you have to do, Feng Yao will do it without hesitation. Feng Yao swears on her Dao heart."
“But I do have urgent business to attend to, and I hope that you will do me a favor and let Feng Yao leave the Black Nest.”
A Yao's voice, imbued with pure magical power, transformed into sound waves that spread outwards in concentric circles within the Black Nest. These sound waves pierced through layers of walls and obstacles, reaching the ears of the Black Nest Lord, who sat beside the Cosmic Lake, gazing at its stars. The Black Nest Lord, holding a star in his hand, pretended not to hear.
"Senior, senior, please do me a favor. Feng Yao will be eternally grateful."
A Yao's voice came again, but the Lord of the Black Nest simply blocked it out.
Why not let A Yao leave? Because he completely sealed off the Black Nest. Once the Black Nest is completely sealed off, even Luo Bai and Lou Munan won't be able to find this place. Even if the two of them recover their full strength, they may not be able to enter the Black Nest.
Once the Black Nest is completely sealed off, all communication between the inside and outside is severed. Those outside cannot enter, and those inside cannot leave. The only way to achieve this is to lift the seal. Completely sealing the Black Nest requires a vast amount of energy, so each time the Black Nest is completely sealed and then reopened, it cannot be completely sealed again in a short period. Therefore, once the Black Nest is completely sealed, its master will not easily lift the seal.
He knew he was no match for Lou Munan, so he decided to make sure Lou Munan could never find him.
Ah Yao entered the Black Nest by accident before he sealed it off, so he might as well leave her here with him! In his heart, he thought it wasn't so bad. Although he didn't want to see her, it was good that she stayed in the Black Nest forever.
Deep down, he wanted A Yao.
