"Thank you, little mirror." The Qiankun Mirror's willingness to help meant that it was on Zhou Yuanyuan's side. Zhou Yuanyuan would not be stingy with polite words.
"I couldn't stop that thief! I don't deserve your thanks." Qian Kun Jing was flattered. To be honest, Qian Kun Jing thought Zhou Yuanyuan would blame it for letting the thief escape, and was feeling very nervous! After finally finding Boss Xiaoyu, Qian Kun Jing didn't want to leave yet.
"Master, could the person who wants to take Grandpa Yu away be Liu Jingyun? Why would he do this? Was it the Yushan Sect who asked him to come?" Xiaoyu's series of questions were exactly what Zhou Yuanyuan wanted to ask.
"I don't know." Zhou Yuanyuan was a little disappointed. The cultivators in the Langyuan Secret Realm began to make moves in the secular world. Did this mean that her previous peaceful life might be gone forever? No matter how much Zhou Yuanyuan didn't want to confront the cultivators in the Langyuan Secret Realm, the development of the situation was beyond her control. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't regret standing up for Yu Xiaohan at all. If she could go back in time, even if she knew that standing up for Yu Xiaohan would lead to Liu Jingyun or the Yushan Party, Zhou Yuanyuan would still choose to help Yu Xiaohan.
After all, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have many relatives in this world. Yu Xiaohan was a relative of a relative of a relative of Zhou Yuanyuan's, and had always been considered one of her "own people." Zhou Yuanyuan always protected her "own people" closely.
The Yushan Sect's reach was truly immense. Hadn't they long since abandoned the secular world? How was it that after nearly two hundred years of living in the secret realm, they only just remembered that there were "resources" like Yu Xiaohan in the secular world? Luck, such a profound and mysterious thing, was something even cultivators longed to master? Or was it that cultivation resources in the Langyuan Secret Realm were so scarce that even mortals began to covet what they possessed? Zhou Yuanyuan was baffled. She had even stopped Hu Sanniang and reclaimed the secret realm for the sake of secular stability.
"Master, master, we are not afraid of those cultivators because we have Zhuzhu here! Whoever dares to cause trouble to the master will be devoured by Zhuzhu." Chaos Zhu saw that Zhou Yuanyuan looked a little depressed and thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was frightened by the guess that the man in black was Liu Jingyun, so he quickly jumped out to cheer Zhou Yuanyuan up.
"Master, there's Xiaoyu! Cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven. There might be even greater troubles ahead. Master, you must not lose heart!" Xiaoyu, ensconced in Zhou Yuanyuan's sea of consciousness, naturally understood her concerns. Having lived two lives, Zhou Yuanyuan held no great ambitions, merely wishing for a peaceful life, where she could spend her old age with her loved ones.
But Xiaoyu knew Zhou Yuanyuan's wish might not come true. Having embarked on the path of immortal cultivation, how could she escape the strife of the cultivation world? Even if Zhou Yuanyuan didn't bother other cultivators, she would definitely resist when they did! Just like that Taoist Master Daoyan, who captured Hu Sanniang for her inner elixir. Zhou Yuanyuan, the master, was no coward. Even with Yuanying Master in front of her, she still took action.
Xiaoyu hadn't expected the cultivators of this time and space to be so fragile. Back in the Lingxiao Realm, the gods and demons were all tough and sturdy. The Chaos Pearl's attack on Daoyan Zhenjun was just a "tickling" for them. But that very "tickling" move was the one that killed Daoyan Zhenjun.
Xiaoyu and the Chaos Pearl had kept the death of Daoyan Zhenjun a secret from Zhou Yuanyuan, fearing it would affect her state of mind. Even a Zhenjun couldn't defeat the Chaos Pearl in a single blow. What if Zhou Yuanyuan felt her cultivation was useless? Even the Chaos Pearl, no matter how powerful it was, couldn't shatter the void! Xiaoyu and the Chaos Pearl could only rely on Zhou Yuanyuan's cultivation until she reached the heavenly realm, hoping to return to their homeland, the Lingxiao Realm.
The relationships among cultivators are deeply intertwined. If anyone knew that Daoyan Zhenjun of the Yushan Sect had died at the hands of the Chaos Pearl, the sect, disciples, masters, fellow disciples, sisters, immediate family, extended family, and even aunts and uncles would surely come out to cause trouble for Zhou Yuanyuan. Add to that the Chaos Pearl, an innate spiritual treasure, and Zhou Yuanyuan would undoubtedly stir up a bloody storm in the cultivation world!
So, Xiaoyu was not optimistic about Zhou Yuanyuan's wish to live an ordinary life from the beginning, but in recent years, monks rarely appeared in the secular world. Xiaoyu couldn't bear to break Zhou Yuanyuan's dream, so she could only learn to "cover her ears and steal the bell" like Zhou Yuanyuan and deceive herself.
But now, the monks have caused quite a stir. Not to mention the secular world, even Shi Xiong's Ten Thousand Mountains have not been spared. If Xiaoyu allows Zhou Yuanyuan to indulge in her own dreams, it would not be loving her, but harming her.
After Xiaoyu finished thinking, she persuaded Zhou Yuanyuan: "Master, when you have time, go and take a look at the secret realm! After all, the secret realm is now yours. If those cultivators eat what they have in their bowls (stay in the secret realm) and still want to take what they have (covet the secular world), we should take the secret realm back!"
Xiaoyu always felt that she had overlooked something related to the secret realm. Zhou Yuanyuan had always stayed in the secular world, and Xiaoyu could not sense the mysteries of the secret realm. Xiaoyu could only persuade Zhou Yuanyuan to stay in the secret realm for a while so that it would be easier for her to slowly search.
"Okay! If we see any cultivators doing evil in the secular world again, we will go into the secret realm and take a look." Zhou Yuanyuan nodded and agreed to Xiaoyu's suggestion.
With the Qiankun Mirror, which is more reliable than the Chaos Pearl, Zhou Yuanyuan can finally find time to go home and visit General Zhou.
Until Yu Xiaohan's crisis was resolved, Qiankun Mirror agreed to let Zhou Yuanyuan stay at Yu Xiaohan's house temporarily, protecting the family's well-being. Zhou Yuanyuan even asked Qiankun Mirror to look after the Zhao family next door. If Chaos Pearl hadn't been a glutton, it could have done the same. However, Zhou Yuanyuan, considering Chaos Pearl's gluttonous nature, decided it would be more reliable to keep it with her.
Xiaoyu had said that the Chaos Pearl could devour everything in the universe, and that the spiritual energy of cultivators was also a source of its energy. Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't afraid of the Chaos Pearl consuming magical artifacts; she was only afraid it might devour cultivators as well. A Chaos Pearl devouring humans? Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't get over the thought.
When Zhou Yuanyuan returned home, General Zhou had just finished breakfast and was happily sitting in the living room chatting with Zhou Zhixin and Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the sun rising over the top of a mountain in the distance and felt a little confused. Aren't her parents busy at work? Why haven't they left yet so late today?
"That's great. Grandpa still has a solution." Zhou Yuanyuan heard Zhou Zhixin say this when she entered the door.
"But Yuanyuan... doesn't know..." Zhao Yunxiang was not as optimistic as Zhou Zhixin. She frowned and looked at Zhou Zhixin with dissatisfaction.
