"Where is she?" Zhu Qianying's eyes were bloodshot as she watched Zhu Yi's disappearing figure with great anger.
After the green mist dissipated, Zhu Qianying found herself having left the Flower and Bird Realm.
"Damn it! I haven't found many usable treasures yet!" Zhu Qianying cursed fiercely, her brows furrowed.
"Awoo!" The Grey-Eyed Wolf King, who had been guarding Green Peak, excitedly called out to his companions.
"We waited here for a full seven days, and finally these people came back!"
The wolf king was very excited. The human cultivators who came out of the Immortal Peach Secret Realm must have found a lot of rare and precious treasures: "Brothers, let's capture these few and take them back. We can not only give the wolf cubs a few more toys, but also plunder some spiritual herbs!"
"Awooo!" The howls of the wolves rose and fell in waves, making Zhu Qianying feel irritated.
"Ying... Sister?" Shangguan Wenqi stared in astonishment at Zhu Qianying's face, which was covered with blue scars. Gone was her former radiance; her hideous and terrifying appearance inspired fear.
"What's wrong with you?" Shangguan Wenqi's utterly astonished expression made her temporarily ignore the wolves attacking from all sides. How could she look like this, befitting the status of the mistress of the Shangguan family?
"Senior brother!" Zhu Qianying's bright eyes were brimming with tears. She wanted to bury her face in Shangguan Wenqi's shoulder and cry, but she was also very self-aware and turned her face away, stubbornly refusing to look at Shangguan Wenqi's scrutinizing gaze.
"This place is fraught with danger; we should leave as soon as possible." Zhu Qianying endured the excruciating pain on her face, put on a dark veil, and feigned nonchalance as she gave her opinion.
"Yes, Junior Sister is right. The most urgent thing is to leave here first!" Shangguan Wenqi withdrew his gaze, secretly feeling sorry for Zhu Qianying's ruined face.
He suddenly wondered if he had been paying too much attention to Zhu Qianying all these years. There were many other noble ladies in Donglu, so why did he have to linger on a disfigured face?
Even if she had ambitions and could become his wife, Shangguan Wenqi hesitated: he knew very well that if Zhu Qianying's face could not be restored to its original state, he would definitely give her up.
Who doesn't love a beautiful face? Even for the sake of the family's prosperity, he has no need to marry a disfigured woman.
However, Shangguan Wenqi's love and care for Zhu Qianying over the years was genuine, and he also felt regret and reluctance in his heart.
Xie Ao took out his jade spirit communication device and sent a distress message to his fellow disciples. He lowered his eyes and saw the subtle expressions on Zhu Qianying and Shangguan Wenqi's faces, finding it extremely ironic.
Look, this is what they call a perfect match, each with their own agenda.
That illegitimate daughter is truly ruthless. Her sister wanted her dead, so she ruined her sister's appearance... Tsk, what a show! It's a pity about that elegant young lady from the Wei family; I really did have a bit of a crush on her.
At the command of the Grey-Eyed Wolf King, the pack of wolves hidden in the Green Peak Forest howled and swarmed forward...
In the Bodhi Mirror, ten days had passed, and Zhu Yi's wounds were almost completely healed.
Little Peach Treasure took a sip of the tea that Zhu Yi had just brewed and said with a delighted expression, "That's it! The Bodhi Divine Tree used its divine plant sensing ability to bring us here!"
Inside the emerald green crystal palace, abundant wood elemental energy lingered. Zhu Yi lay comfortably on a bamboo rocking chair: "So, the Bodhi Tree is a very kind tree?"
“That’s right! We immortal plants are all auspicious! In such a small place as the cultivation world, it’s your good fortune to encounter an auspicious plant like me!” Little Peach shook her head, looking completely matter-of-fact.
Zhu Yi seemed lost in thought, holding the teacup with both hands and taking a small sip. She wondered how Xue Shan and Weiwei were doing now, whether they were also recuperating in some palace somewhere.
"Big Peach, you don't need to worry about your sisters!" Little Peach winked at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi felt goosebumps rise on her skin: "Little girl, can't you be a little more dignified!" She glared back like a wicked mother-in-law.
Little Peach shrank her neck and hid her head before sitting up straight and answering Zhu Yi with a serious expression: "Of course, the Bodhi Divine Tree will do its duty to the end and give each of them a small palace to recuperate."
"However, it's easy to get in but hard to get out..." The little girl poked her finger shyly, raised her eyebrows and peeked at Zhu Yi's face. Sure enough, her sister was angry, and her sister's face didn't look good!
"Are we going to have to go through another challenge?" Zhu Yi asked Xiao Taobao with a deathly pale face.
"No...hehe! The Bodhi Tree is a divine tree born of nature, how could it make things difficult for us little people?" Little Peach said with a big, smug face. She was suddenly a little embarrassed to say this, feeling that she might be making things difficult for Big Peach Sister. After all, cultivation is so difficult, how could anyone like to cultivate so hard?
"Tell me, how am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?" Zhu Yi became even more suspicious. Could it be some kind of super difficult secret realm? The kind where you could easily lose your life?
"The restriction set up by the Bodhi Tree here is that 'those who are not at the Golden Core stage cannot leave.' You need to cultivate to the Golden Core stage or above before you can leave and return to the Seven-Colored Peak..."
"Huh?" Little Peach Bao finished speaking in one breath without pausing, and felt a little guilty when she didn't get a reply from Zhu Yi after a while. She half-opened one eye and peeked at Zhu Yi.
There was no particular reaction for quite a while. No anger, rage, or scolding as I had imagined?
Zhu Yi took a while to process Xiao Taobao's words, then let out a long sigh: "That's fine then. I'll cultivate here properly and go out when I reach the Golden Core stage!"
"Don't you human cultivators hate cultivation? Eating, drinking, and sunbathing is so much better!" Little Peach didn't understand.
If Big Peach Sister goes to cultivate, who will play with her?
"Hmm, I think it's pretty good. I'm going to hurry up and cultivate now. You have fun by yourself. If you don't find it interesting, you can learn to draw talismans here!" Zhu Yi tossed a set of paper and pens to Xiao Taobao, along with the "Mysterious Heaven Talisman Collection," and told the child not to get the book dirty. Then she went to the training room to cultivate with light steps.
"Waaah!" Little Peach felt utterly miserable. She hated cultivation the most, okay? And Big Peach Sister wanted her to learn how to draw talismans?
They, the peach tree clan, are born with the talent to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons, right?
Through the reflection of the Bodhi Mirror, the Bodhi Tree God of the Spirit Realm was lazily basking in the sun, drinking freshly brewed tea, a look of satisfaction on his handsome face.
"Hehe, the little peach tree is right. Cultivation is really too tiring. It's better to bask in the sun!"
"Who's listening to your nonsense?" The goddess Hongjian, who was studying chess scores across from the Bodhi Tree Goddess at the tea table, mercilessly exposed him.
"I wonder who it was that secluded themselves for over a hundred years back then, cultivating day and night in the valley behind the Pure Terrace." Hongjian was dressed in fiery red, with a peony flower ornament on her forehead that was enchanting and graceful. She spoke quickly, and her charming face was enhanced by a touch of heroic spirit.
“Hongjian, that’s not right of you. Why are you always undermining me?” The Bodhi Tree feigned displeasure. He flicked his sleeve and pushed the Bodhi Mirror in front of Hongjian. “Look, the one wielding the sword right now is Yujing’s disciple…”
