Chapter 25: Leaving the Ancient Battlefield
Varied……
What?
Wind?
For a fleeting moment, Ye Kemeng seemed to hear the string in her head snap.
Niu Kulu, the Soul of Man, Yao, could wipe out the entire group with a wave of his hand!
Call him Fengfeng!
Wouldn't that be courting disaster?
"She has a very alluring face."
Immediately, before Ye Kemeng could react, she heard the little black snake's second sentence.
Before he could finish his third sentence, Ye Kemeng clenched her fist, squeezing the little black snake into her palm, and simultaneously choked him back to his throat.
The kitten glanced at Gu Qingli in front of it, then looked somewhat uneasily at the man with a composed expression behind the crowd not far away.
The little black snake, its mouth gagged, was instantly furious, its head spinning with rage. Looking up at Ye Kemeng staring intently at Fengfeng, it truly wished it could transform back into its enormous form and swallow the two people exchanging glances whole!
"phoenix……"
Ye Kemeng tried to open her mouth, hoping to ease the awkward atmosphere caused by the little black snake's three "bombshell" sentences, when she heard the familiar voice of the phoenix: "Oh, you haven't heard of..."
The little black snake slithered out of Ye Kemeng's hand, its neck craning: "Have you heard of anything?"
“The more alluring one’s appearance, the purer one’s heart. Therefore,” concluded the Human Soul Yao, “I am a virtuous man.”
Little black snake: "..."
Ye Kemeng: "!!!"
The rest of the group who heard this were all confused: "???" Is this the time to discuss the topic of outward allure versus inner innocence?!
And why are you making such a fuss over a snake?!
"On the contrary," Renhun Yao paused, his gaze falling on Ye Kemeng, his tone questioning, "My wife abandoned me when I was in danger, but threw herself at another man to save him, holding him tightly in her palm. What kind of behavior is this?"
Ye Kemeng instinctively let go; if the little black snake hadn't reacted quickly, it would have definitely fallen flat on its face.
But no matter how agile the little black snake was, the moment it fell from Ye Kemeng's hand, it was still in a sorry state.
Ye Kemeng: "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Even as she waved her hands, the gazes directed at her became somewhat subtle. It was as if she were a heartless woman who had taken advantage of someone and then refused to acknowledge the relationship.
Gu Qingli's thoughts had completely drifted off course. Looking at the somewhat pitiful little black snake, she murmured, "Before I entered the academy, I did hear the disciples mention that a newly arrived inner sect senior sister, carrying a token, had brought her whole family with her..."
However, the disciples' tone was full of envy, wishing they were more handsome so that the legendary inner sect senior sister would take a liking to them and bring them into the academy.
Bai Lingyu suddenly turned his head and looked at the human soul Yao with a gaze that seemed to say, "We are both in the same boat."
This single glance almost caused the once-solemn phoenix, the first phoenix to ever create the world, to lose its composure.
Ye Kemeng crouched down in pain, covering her face: "Isn't our top priority to get out of this underground palace and back to the academy?"
Gu Qingli: "Ah, this topic change was a bit abrupt."
Bai Lingyu felt he understood the hardships all men had endured, and realized that arguing any further would be pointless. So, he cooperated with Ye Kemeng to change the subject: "We really shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's find an exit first."
Ren Hunyao spoke calmly: "I remember you were the one my wife rejected in marriage. What are your intentions in agreeing with my wife like this?"
Ren Hunyao looked at the little black snake on the ground again, examining it from head to toe with the air of an absolute victor. Satisfied, he raised his head and, with an air of superiority, gestured to Ye Kemeng with his chin: "Come here, let's go back to the academy."
Ye Kemeng: "..."
Although I don't know how things turned out this way, at least I can get out, so it's a gain in itself!
As she ran towards Ren Hunyao, she cried out to 666 in her heart: [What should I do? Why did Ren Hunyao leave? Will his departure affect the plot? Did Shen Hunyao stay here? Will I ever see him again?]
Ye Kemeng was still immersed in the general plot of the original work that 666 had told her.
She had previously deduced that the Phoenix's disappearance over the past ten years was due to his entry into the ancient battlefield, where he could only regain his supreme power by completely merging with the human soul Yao.
But now, Ren Hunyao wants to go out!
[...The plot has now completely exceeded the system's expectations, little kitty.]
The cat looked horrified: "Even you don't know how the story is going?"
666 sighed: "Yes. Actually, from the moment you swallowed the Phoenix Cloud Seed, the plot changed. The original plot was that the Divine Soul Yao, possessing the power of the Cloud Seed, and the Human Soul Yao fought a ten-year war here. Ultimately, because the world was about to collapse, they reached a consensus, merged into one, and saved all living beings."
However, Ye Kemeng had already devoured Shenhun Yao's Yunmiao, leaving him without the strength to fight against Renhun Yao here...
The current situation is that the Yao family, the human soul, is all-powerful, capable of anything from going to heaven to going to earth.
And he was also a complete madman...
The system also doesn't know what will happen in the future.
Ye Kemeng immediately felt that her life was in danger!
How can I return Yunmiao to him?
【Cultivate diligently, re-condense the cloud seedlings, and return them to Emperor Cangyao.】System 666.
Ye Kemeng naturally wouldn't have thought of the other layer.
She was now genuinely considering the feasibility of cultivating.
[I've never cultivated before, 6. How long will it take to cultivate until I can re-condense the cloud seed?]
666 doesn't really understand cultivation either: [It takes a long time, and requires a lot of effort and diligence. But, little kitty, I believe in you.]
Although 666 didn't say it explicitly, Ye Kemeng could actually sense the urgency of time.
During this time, she lived with He Renhunyao day and night, and also faced the risk that he could kill her at any time...
Of course, if Ren Hunyao had acted earlier, Ye Kemeng's cultivation journey could have ended much sooner.
Along with her mission and System 666, they will also vanish into thin air.
[666, I'll do my best to stay by the villain's side! I won't let your mission fail so quickly. At least, I tried my best to complete the mission.]
Ye Kemeng's words were completely unexpected by 666. It suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time Ye Kemeng had seriously called out its number.
It sensed that Ye Kemeng was no longer entirely a little kitten clueless about the rules of the human world. Although she still maintained the unique cat-like way of thinking and solving problems, she actually knew how to comfort the system.
This is already quite commendable.
Having just comforted the system and moved it to tears, Ye Kemeng buried her face in Ren Hunyao's arms and whispered, "Shall we go now?"
Ren Hunyao's heart pounded wildly!
But since he was once an emperor, he was still able to control his body and prevent it from habitually throwing away any creature that approached him.
Even more shocked than Ren Hunyao was the 'unfamiliar senior sister', who had been pretending to be a delicate little white flower, crying and begging Bai Lingyu and Gu Qingli for care.
Seeing this scene, her delicate face was filled with astonishment, disbelief, and deep admiration, and she remained frozen for a long time.
Because it was so quiet around her, Ye Kemeng thought that Ren Hunyao hadn't heard her.
She subconsciously nuzzled her head against Ren Hunyao's shoulder, "Shall we go?"
Bai Lingyu looked bitter, and even the little black snake was stunned!
Ren Hunyao turned and left.
Ye Kemeng took off running to catch up.
Gu Qingli took a few steps before realizing that the little black snake was still standing there, stunned.
She knew that the snake was actually a demon, but if it hadn't been for the snake guiding them in the dungeon, the three of them might have died there. So, she temporarily put aside the past grievances between the human and demon races, held the little black snake in her hands, and followed the main group.
The Lord of the Underground Palace led the group out, and they encountered no danger along the way. It could be said that, apart from the darkness, the entire journey was very peaceful.
When they arrived at the place where the Heavenly Ladder had broken, Gu Qingli still felt that the trip had gone too smoothly.
She sidled up to Ye Kemeng and said, "Could we have entered an illusion? Even the dragon head is gone. This is too easy for us to leave."
Ye Kemeng, as one of only three people present who knew the true identity of the human soul Yao, wanted to tell Gu Qingli, 'The masters of the entire underground palace, and even the ancient battlefield, are all around us. We can completely roam freely here. Why would any creature be so foolish as to try and stop us?'
But she couldn't say that. She could only explain, "Maybe those skeleton soldiers were all busy fighting the dragon head, and since we're just small fry, they couldn't be bothered with us?"
"I hope so," Gu Qingli said. "We've really encountered too many thrilling and dangerous situations on this trip. I hope that the junior brothers who have escaped can inform the elders as soon as possible and get us out."
Ye Kemeng really didn't want the human soul to leave, since this person could kill her at any moment.
But at this moment, she could only say against her will, "It should be soon, the elders will rescue us."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a long rope was hurled down from above, stretching as far as the eye could see.
