Li Changzhou didn't stay. He said to Yaochi, "I have no choice. Go check on Qinglan. You stay here and watch over things. Let me know if things are alright or if anything unexpected happens."
“It’s not fate,” Yaochi said with a smile. “Take me in too, brother.”
"......"
The crowd reacted with varying expressions, but all pretended not to hear.
"Sister Yao, have you no shame? You're four years older than my brother." Li Qianxia couldn't stand it.
Li Changzhou didn't give the two a chance to fight. While disappearing with Yaochi, he instructed Li Qianxia: "Little sister, keep an eye on things. If anything unexpected happens, come directly to me."
"Okay~" Even though it was only a short while, Li Qianxia felt a little reluctant to part with her brother, but she also wanted to watch the show and see what fate had in store.
A world of honey.
We've been traveling on the road to heaven for so long, and it's already winter.
The Bird's Nest Plain was covered in silver, turning into a snowfield, with snowflakes slowly falling from the treetops.
Only by the Fountain of Immortality do the peach trees still scatter their fragrance, and the surrounding area is covered with green grass.
Yang Qinglan sat upright under a peach tree, comprehending the divine form of the Heavenly Demon and guiding the balance between magical power and demonic power.
Seeing that she was closing off her five senses and cultivating diligently, Li Changzhou felt relieved and did not go over to disturb her.
He looked up, and the cold snow fell on his face, sending a chill through him.
“It’s snowing on Earth now,” he said softly.
"You can go back anytime you miss home," Yaochi said with a smile.
“Okay.” Li Changzhou nodded with a smile. “If Qinglan can wake up before it’s over outside, go back to Yanhe Road and Mingcheng University to take a look.”
"I want to go too."
“Hmm—” Li Changzhou hesitated.
"Brother~" Yaochi struck again.
"Tsk!"
Yaochi laughed, then said, "I didn't have time to ask earlier while I was outside. How are you doing?"
"My strength has increased dramatically! But apart from the Emerald Bee Sword, the Wisdom Pearl, and the Four Seasons Star Crown, all my other items were swallowed by the space lifeform. Ah, my water bottle."
"The slaying blade is gone too?" Yaochi asked.
"Um."
"You spendthrift child! I'm only using the S-rank Chaos Bell, and you've already thrown away the S-rank Slaying Blade!" Yaochi said irritably, puffing out her cheeks and exhaling a breath from her red lips.
"I didn't even bring the library with me, let alone the slaying sword." Li Changzhou was indifferent now. "What's there to regret? Everyone has their own talents, and what's lost can be regained! There are plenty of treasures at the end of the Heavenly Road!"
"I hope you don't become someone else's darling." Seeing his confidence, Yaochi said disdainfully.
"Oh, right." She remembered something, "You could even keep the Four Seasons Star Crown, but you couldn't keep the Executioner's Blade?"
The slaying blade is something that alien races would risk their lives to take back; although the crown can control the Four Seasons Star, it can't compare.
"...After all, it belonged to someone else, so I felt bad about losing it." Li Changzhou felt somewhat ashamed; he didn't want to portray himself as too noble.
But that's just how it is.
That's what he was thinking when he chose to keep the crown and give up the killing blade.
"What do you mean 'someone else's' stuff? You stole the slaying blade yourself. Did the deep affection between the King of the Central Kingdom and his daughter move you?" Yaochi laughed and scolded, her eyes sparkling with laughter.
Li Changzhou also smiled.
“But that’s fine,” Yaochi said. “The King of Black Mist needs territory, and the Four Seasons Star is rich in resources. The crown is also very important, but the key is—”
She glanced at Li Changzhou.
"I like you because you're loyal and devoted. Do you like me?"
"You changed the subject a bit too quickly," Li Changzhou said with a smile.
"You studied law, do you know what the law needs most?"
"A quick mind? A knack for changing the subject and catching the other party off guard?" Li Changzhou guessed, following the topic.
"It's about power. Without the power to protect you, being a lawyer is no better than selling sweet potatoes. But I... can give you that power."
As she spoke, Yaochi smiled, her tone gentle and alluring, captivating all who heard her.
"Yes, yes, who has more power than you, Miss Zhao?"
Yaochi smiled at him, and after a while, said, "There's no value in this game. You should become a lawyer, or you might enter the judicial system and become a judge in court. With your excellence, I think we'll meet sooner or later."
"I must have met Qinglan before I met you."
"What does it matter? When we meet, it will surely be like lightning striking the earth. As long as you marry me, young man, your future will be limitless. Even the Minister of Justice would be beneath you."
"Hahaha!" Li Changzhou laughed loudly.
After chatting for a while, he said with a lingering smile, "The past cannot be retrieved, let's think about the future. Be careful once you enter the Heavenly Gate."
"Don't worry, I still have the Chaos Bell."
Throughout the journey, Yaochi never truly activated this celestial artifact.
Yaochi ranks among the top fifty not only because of Li Changzhou's skills, but more importantly because of this weapon, which can activate Dijun's will of heaven.
"The Dao Ancestor truly deserves to be called a sage who has attained the Dao; he was able to research and create such a tool," Li Changzhou said admiringly.
Even the strongest Heavenly Realm expert can only use Heavenly Will seven times at most, but Heavenly Artifacts are different; as long as there is enough magical power, they can be used as many times as needed!
Therefore, the materials used to forge celestial artifacts must be strong enough that you might not find a single grain the size of a fingernail even if you searched dozens of planets.
"With your Heavenly Demon Divine Form, I can now barely activate it by myself," Yaochi said with a smile.
She changed the subject and said, "There's something I need to criticize you for."
"Please speak."
Have you read "Cai Gen Tan"?
"I've read a bit of it. Which article or sentence is Sister Yao trying to use to lecture me?"
"If you treat people with kindness and courtesy, you can maintain the insatiable hearts of others. The witch, the phoenix, and the little martial saint are one thing, but what virtue or ability do the others have to exchange your divine will for the divine will they want? If you are too good to them, they will take it for granted and not appreciate it."
