What a jerk who only remembers to eat and not to be punished! Xiaoyu gnashed her teeth in anger.
Zhou Yuanyuan's current cultivation level is not high. If she gets hurt due to the Chaos Pearl's negligence, Xiaoyu will never allow it. The Chaos Pearl and its plan to return home depend on Zhou Yuanyuan!
Fortunately, the Chaos Pearl had thick skin and flesh, so Daoyan Zhenjun's slap could not hurt it.
Seeing Xiaoyu's anger, the Chaos Pearl quickly took advantage of the moment when Daoyan Zhenjun's eyes were searching for it in the hall and took the cocoon wrapped around Hu Sanniang into the trial world. Before Daoyan Zhenjun could react, the Chaos Pearl had already flown out of the forbidden area with a "whoosh".
In the trial world, Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the big cocoon wrapped around Hu Sanniang with curiosity.
With Zhou Yuanyuan around, when Hu Sanniang arrived in the trial world, she landed just one foot away from Zhou Yuanyuan.
The "crackling" lightning on the surface of the cocoon had already run into the cocoon. Zhou Yuanyuan could smell the burnt smell of hair through the skin of the cocoon.
"Xiao Yu, will Hu Sanniang be roasted?" Zhou Yuanyuan stood next to the cocoon, watching the purple lightning flashing inside, feeling a little worried.
"Master, no, Hu Sanniang is undergoing the tempering process for her advancement to Demon Emperor. After undergoing the Purple Lightning Tempering, most of the demonic energy in the bones of a fox demon will be shed, laying the foundation for her future advancement to Immortal Fox." Xiaoyu quickly explained. It's more difficult for demons to achieve enlightenment than for humans. To achieve immortality, demons must expel most of the demonic energy from their bones like waste when they advance to Demon Emperor, replacing it with spiritual energy and storing it.
Zhou Yuanyuan felt relieved after hearing Xiaoyu say that Hu Sanniang was fine, and sat down next to Dajian.
"Master, where are we going? Home?" asked the Chaos Pearl.
After Hu Sanniang's disappearance, Daoyan Zhenjun would definitely not let it go. The longer they stayed in the secret realm, the greater the danger. Ugh! This day was truly awful. I'd just found Wen Ziqing, and before we could even exchange a few words, I saw Zhou Xi in danger. Zhou Yuanyuan rescued Zhou Xi and then went to find Wen Ziqing, expecting him to happily follow them home, but he refused.
Before Zhou Yuanyuan could convince Wen Ziqing, Hu Sanniang's cry for help was heard again. Fortunately, the Chaos Pearl was fast enough, and Zhou Yuanyuan snatched the living Hu Sanniang back from Taoist Master Daoyan.
Going home? Zhou Yuanyuan opened her mouth, but no words came out. A cool breeze blew, and the unique fragrance of the osmanthus tree reached her nose. Zhou Yuanyuan felt confused. Could she just leave Wen Ziqing behind and go home alone?
No! I can't! Knowing there was a cliff ahead and letting Wen Ziqing jump down was not only irresponsible to him, but also to myself.
"Zhuzhu, let's go to Jinping Peak again." After Zhou Yuanyuan made her decision, she gave a light order.
Regardless, Zhou Yuanyuan decided she should make another trip. The strange way Baopu had sent someone to "invite" Wen Ziqing gave Zhou Yuanyuan reason to suspect that his motives for accepting Wen Ziqing as his disciple were not pure.
"Okay, master." After receiving Zhou Yuanyuan's arrangement, Chaos Pearl turned around and flew towards Jinping Peak without saying a word.
The forbidden area of the Yushan Sect was not far from Jinping Peak. The Chaos Pearl flew for a cup of tea and arrived outside Jinping Peak.
"Eh? Master, why is Jinping Peak's protective formation activated? It wasn't activated when we left." Chaos Pearl felt a little strange. Protective formations consume a lot of energy, and generally speaking, cultivators would only activate them when faced with a life-or-death situation.
It has been less than an hour since Zhou Yuanyuan left Jinping Peak!
He actually activated a protective formation? Did Brother Ziqing not want her to disturb him?
Zhou Yuanyuan's heart tightened whenever she thought of this possibility. Everyone has their own aspirations. Since Brother Ziqing didn't want to return to Kyoto, she wouldn't force him. He activated the protective formation without a word, leaving Zhou Yuanyuan's face livid with embarrassment.
"Master, let's go home first! Zhuzhu's energy is running out." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan was silent for a long time, Chaos Pearl hurriedly urged.
Zhou Xi was still staying in the trial world of the Chaos Pearl. If the Chaos Pearl wanted to keep the trial world open, the amount of spiritual energy it needed to consume every minute was enormous.
"Master, please go first! Don't force it." Xiaoyu also tried to comfort Zhou Yuanyuan. Many people fail to see the true nature of a relationship in good times, only to see the truth in adversity. To be honest, Xiaoyu had always been pessimistic about Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing's relationship. After all, few men could tolerate their wives being stronger than themselves.
Hearing Xiaoyu say this, Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to cry. She really didn't understand why Wen Ziqing looked so strange now. They had only been apart for a few months! Why didn't her brother Ziqing look like the man who used to dote on her and indulge her?
Is it because of growing up?
Zhou Yuanyuan's mind was in a mess. She wanted to just leave and ignore Wen Ziqing, but she also felt worried and wanted to take Wen Ziqing with her. Unfortunately, Wen Ziqing didn't appreciate it at all.
"Master, don't you have a communication talisman? A mother-child communication talisman," Xiaoyu reminded Zhou Yuanyuan. Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan so troubled, Xiaoyu felt sorry for her. Knowing Zhou Yuanyuan's temperament, she knew she would be worried until she found out why Wen Ziqing wouldn't leave.
That's right! Why didn't I think of that? Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
The paper crane communication talisman Zhou Yuanyuan gave Wen Ziqing was specially crafted by Xiaoyu for them. Wen Ziqing's paper crane bears the mark of Zhou Yuanyuan's spiritual consciousness. Once Wen Ziqing activates it with his spiritual power, Zhou Yuanyuan will sense it. Similarly, if Zhou Yuanyuan wants to contact Wen Ziqing, she can activate the communication talisman in her hand, and Wen Ziqing's paper crane will respond, much like a cell phone in the secular world.
In order to let Wen Ziqing know her location, Zhou Yuanyuan specially found a secluded place, walked out of the trial world of the Chaos Pearl, and carefully took out her paper crane communication talisman that was well kept in a wooden box.
After inputting spiritual energy into the communication talisman, Zhou Yuanyuan stared at it without blinking, expecting to hear Wen Ziqing's voice.
One minute passed, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed... Zhou Yuanyuan did not hear Wen Ziqing's answer.
Thousands of kilometers away, Baopu Dao sensed the glittering light of a paper crane in his storage ring. He chuckled, secretly thanking himself for his quick action in taking Wen Ziqing's paper crane.
In Jinping Peak, Wen Ziqing was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, practicing attentively, completely unaware that he had inadvertently hurt a young girl's heart.
