It seems that what He Jingjing said was right. The pills she used to plot against Wen Ziqing before did come from the Langyuan Secret Realm.
What should I do? Enter the secret realm again? Zhou Yuanyuan hesitated.
Zhou Yuanyuan was not afraid of entering the secret realm, but she was afraid that she didn't know how long it would take to get out.
Zhou Yuanyuan must not leave the secret realm before solving the entanglement in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness.
There were many cultivators in the secret realm, and without the Chaos Pearl's help, Zhou Yuanyuan wasn't sure she could escape unscathed. But as for General Zhou, Zhou Yuanyuan had already promised Ouyang Xin that she would protect him while he was away.
Zhou Yuanyuan couldn't bear to disregard General Zhou's safety for Wen Ziqing. Similarly, she couldn't disregard Wen Ziqing's life or death for General Zhou.
Xiaoyu mentioned two methods yesterday to deal with the entangled threads in Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness. One is to pull these entangled threads out of Wen Ziqing's sea of consciousness and destroy them, and the other is to directly find the owner of the entangled threads and kill them.
Without a master, Wen Ziqing would naturally not be controlled by others. With Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing's strength, they would definitely be able to deal with the loss of the master of Chansi in due time.
But now, what they feared had come true. Xiaoyu and Zhou Yuanyuan were afraid that before they could find a solution, the owner of the silk entanglement would activate it prematurely.
Wen Ziqing's sword-riding speed was not very fast. Zhou Yuanyuan estimated that in another half an hour, the man and the sword would reach the "Forest of Death".
When the time came, Zhou Yuanyuan had no choice but to follow Wen Ziqing to the secret realm. She was completely unprepared for this trip, and with the long road ahead, she naturally had to stabilize the rear first.
"Zhuzhu, go ask Xiaojingzi if he can do me a favor. If he is willing, please bring my Grandpa Yu with you." After thinking for half a minute, Zhou Yuanyuan decisively gave an order to Chaos Pearl.
"That's right! As long as Xiaojing is willing to help, all of this is no problem." Xiaoyu came to her senses. The Qiankun Mirror was as powerful as the Chaos Pearl. With the Qiankun Mirror guarding the Zhou residence, Zhou Yuanyuan didn't need to worry about General Zhou's safety.
Zhou Yuanyuan hadn't forgotten Yu Xiaohan either. After all, the Qiankun Mirror's current mission at the Yu family was to prevent the black-clad men who had abducted Yu Xiaohan from returning. Zhou Yuanyuan was too busy to handle the situation, so she had to ask Yu Xiaohan to stay at the Zhou family's house for a few days.
However, for Xiaohan, this "grievance" is not a grievance, but an honor. Being able to face his "idol" General Zhou day and night, Yu Xiaohan will definitely smile from ear to ear.
"Okay, master!" Chaos Pearl received Zhou Yuanyuan's instructions and went to work happily.
In less than a minute, the Qiankun Mirror appeared in front of Zhou Yuanyuan.
"Little girl, what do you want to do? If you ask me to be your bodyguard, I'll be very expensive." The Qiankun Mirror had been at Yu Xiaohan's house for so many days, but Zhou Yuanyuan had never appeared. Just when Zhou Yuanyuan had forgotten about the Qiankun Mirror, the Chaos Pearl came to deliver a message.
"How expensive is it?" Now it was Zhou Yuanyuan's turn to be dumbfounded. Zhou Yuanyuan had forgotten that the Qiankun Mirror wasn't her magical treasure, but was essentially the independent, autonomous Mirror Master on the top of Mount Jiyun.
"One low-grade spirit stone per day." Qiankun Jing posed a stratospheric price. Actually, it wasn't exactly a stratospheric price; for Qiankun Jing, it was dirt cheap. Back in the Lingxiao Realm, a high-grade spirit stone per day would have been enough to get Qiankun Jing to sell, and countless cultivators flocked to it.
Zhou Yuanyuan was different. She was a cultivator so poor that she couldn't be any poorer. Apart from the two half-broken spiritual treasures, Xiaoyu and Chaos Pearl, she had nothing else. Magical treasures? None. Spiritual stones? Not even a single one.
"Xiao Yu, I don't have any spirit stones! What should I do?" Zhou Yuanyuan secretly called out to Xiao Yu in her heart.
"Master, bargain! Qiankunjing is known for asking exorbitant prices. Just say one low-grade spirit stone per year," Xiaoyu advised Zhou Yuanyuan. As for the fact that Zhou Yuanyuan didn't have a single low-grade spirit stone on her, Xiaoyu chose to forget it. It wasn't that Xiaoyu had forgotten, but rather that she felt that having no spirit stones now wouldn't matter. After entering the secret realm, wouldn't there be plenty of cultivators' storage bags she could "borrow"?
"One low-grade spirit stone a year. Or three years of bodyguarding in exchange for a piece of top-grade Soul Water Candy?" This latter offer was Zhou Yuanyuan's own idea. Who told her she was poor? Zhou Yuanyuan only had two Soul Water Candies on her body right now. One had already been promised to the Chaos Pearl, and the other, naturally, she was using as leverage to trade with the Qiankun Mirror.
"I want Soul Water Candy." The Qiankun Mirror immediately extended a slender little claw from its body, palm facing upward. Soul Water is a good thing! Especially for the Lingbao clan, Soul Water can make their "spiritual bodies" more solid.
"Three years! Have you thought about it? You are not allowed to go back on your word after you agree to it. The person you protect may be changed at any time." Seeing that Qiankun Jing really agreed to her "pay back the money on the spot", Zhou Yuanyuan quickly finalized the detailed terms.
"Okay." After Chaos Pearl finished speaking, a piece of "Soul Water Candy" in Zhou Yuanyuan's hand was already placed in the small claw of Qiankun Mirror.
The Qiankun Mirror retracted its little claws and swallowed the "Soul Water Candy".
"Master, master, my candy is Zhuzhu's candy, woooo..." Chaos Pearl then flew back with Yu Xiaohan, huffing and puffing. As soon as it released Yu Xiaohan from its trial space, Chaos Pearl saw that the "Soul Water Candy" that was supposed to be its own disappeared into the Qiankun Mirror.
Chaos Pearl burst into tears in anger.
"Okay! Here you go." Zhou Yuanyuan flipped her wrist, and a "Soul Water Candy" was accurately stuffed into the big mouth of the Chaos Pearl.
"Master is so nice! Master is so great!" Chaos Pearl chewed with a smacking sound in his mouth, and did not forget to flatter Zhou Yuanyuan.
Yu Xiaohan was completely confused.
When Yu Xiaohan opened his eyes, the Chaos Pearl and the Qiankun Mirror automatically became invisible.
Yu Xiaohan didn't see the Chaos Pearl, he only saw Zhou Yuanyuan looking at him with wide eyes.
"Yuanyuan, why are you here? No, why am I here?" Yu Xiaohan was nearly frightened to death. He was suddenly swallowed and then spat out by the Chaos Pearl's maw. Yu Xiaohan thought the men in black had captured him. Only when he opened his eyes and saw Zhou Yuanyuan did Yu Xiaohan finally let go of his fear.
"Grandpa Yu, I'm sorry. Time is urgent, so I asked someone to "invite" you here. This is my great-grandfather's home. I have to be away for a few days. Can you stay here with my great-grandfather for a few days?" Zhou Yuanyuan said to Xiaohan with a smile.
"Hiss! General Zhou's family? I'm so honored." Yu Xiaohan was overjoyed. General Zhou! He had always been his idol since he was a child.
