"You wouldn't have gone if there wasn't seafood, would you?"
"Otherwise what? What good would it do to go?"
Mingyue gave Zhuji a strange look.
Zhuji: "..."
He really couldn't understand why Mingyue suddenly loved to eat so much.
"When are you leaving?"
"Wait until I take on an apprentice."
Mingyue released a paper crane, and Zhuji looked at Ayue, who was still frantically rinsing her mouth, and asked, "What's her name?"
“Ah Yue”.
"Your adopted apprentice?"
He couldn't tell from talent alone; either they hadn't awakened their spiritual roots, or they were incredibly strong—he couldn't discern it.
However, the last point was directly rejected by Zhu Ji. How strong could such a small child be?
Mingyue sighed, "If only I were your disciple."
Not an apprentice?
Zhu Ji carefully examined A Yue's features, then realized what she meant and exclaimed in a short voice, "You've had a child in just three years?! Who's the father?"
Mingyue glanced at Zhuji with a cold look in her eyes, and Zhuji shrank back slightly.
Immediately sitting up straight and not daring to be presumptuous, Zhu Ji cleared his throat and asked, "Then who is she?"
“It’s your ancestor.”
"No, why are you swearing?"
Mingyue let out a soft laugh.
Zhu Ji's initial arrogance vanished again. "Fine, fine, you're all ancestors, I'm the grandson."
At this moment, Jing Yao also arrived at the main hall and obediently bowed, "Master, Master Zhu Ji."
"Let's go to the deep-sea secret realm."
Once everyone was present, Mingyue took a bite of the special fried rice, drew a sword, sat directly on it, and vanished in an instant.
Zhu Ji and Jing Yao quickly flew away on their swords. A Yue immediately grabbed Jing Yao's clothes, her eyes red like a little rabbit's, "Take me with you!"
"All right."
Jing Yao grabbed A Yue by the back of her collar and began to control the sword. It was her first time using it, and the sword under her feet was crooked and wobbly, as if it would fall from the sky at any moment.
A-Yue curled her lip in disdain, "At your cultivation speed, you'll never become an immortal, even if you die."
As she spoke, she waved her hand, and the sword, which had been flying erratically, became stable.
Jing Yao opened her mouth, "You have spiritual power?"
"Spiritual power? You mean this?"
A-Yue casually grasped it in mid-air and then opened it in front of Jing Yao, the ethereal and illusory spiritual power forming a small vortex that swirled in her palm.
"You...you can actually control it?"
Is this what they call being exceptionally gifted?
Others cultivate desperately just to draw spiritual energy into their bodies, but when A-Yue casually grabs something, spiritual energy automatically forms a vortex in her palm.
This was the first time Jing Yao had been so directly hit hard. She had spent three years cultivating desperately to successfully establish her foundation. It was truly infuriating to compare herself to others.
“Control?” A-Yue’s tone was full of disdain. “As your ancestor… In short, I can use these things whenever I want.”
A-Yue glanced discreetly at Mingyue ahead, hmph~ she wouldn't give this stinky guardian a chance to beat her up.
"I didn't expect you to be so capable."
Jing Yao praised him sincerely, her eyes filled with envy.
Ah Yue hummed twice, her fair face full of pride; this was how a junior should treat their ancestor.
Deep Sea Secrets —
"Shall we find a place to rest for a bit?"
Zhu Ji tried to lean on Mingyue, but Mingyue dodged her. Zhu Ji then casually put his arm around Jing Yao's shoulder, his clothes hanging loosely at the collar. Jing Yao didn't even dare to glance at him.
Mingyue went to a roadside stall and sat down first. "Boss, five bowls of noodles with minced meat sauce, please."
"That's too much, four bowls will be enough," Zhu Ji said as he took out his money.
Mingyue glanced at Zhuji silently. This person's cooking skills are not bad. She can have him grill the seafood she catches later. She'll save it for now.
