Chu Tianyao remained tolerant, but Ning Hongye was aggressive and pushy.
He finally lost his temper and said, "Are you Ning Hongye, the one Yunxi mentioned? I respect you as Yunxi's senior sister and have always been tolerant of you, but you keep pressing me!"
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"
Ning Hongye sneered, "You scoundrel! Although you're only at the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm, you've managed to withstand so many of my attacks. You do have some skill."
"You have a pretty face, but unfortunately you're all show and no substance. You drug women, you're a shameless bastard."
Chu Tianyao's face darkened completely. "Ning Hongye, how dare you insult me!"
Seeing that the two were getting increasingly heated, Mu Yunxi quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Senior Sister Ning, I did all of this voluntarily! You've misunderstood Tianyao..."
"I was indeed poisoned by the Hehuan Sect, but this poison has nothing to do with Tianyao. It was the three True Immortals of the Hehuan Sect who secretly administered the drug when they were besieging me."
"On the contrary, if it weren't for Tianyao's help... I would have been kidnapped by those three True Immortals long ago..."
"Tianyao killed three True Immortals of the Hehuan Sect and even cured me of the Hehuan Poison... Senior Sister Ning, I truly love him, please don't make things difficult for him anymore."
Ning Hongye then looked closely at Mu Yunxi and saw that her eyes were clear and not confused.
"Yunxi...is everything you've said true?"
Mu Yunxi nodded. "Senior Sister Ning, the reason I enjoy myself with Tianyao is because we have become Daoist partners."
At this point, Mu Yunxi blushed slightly, "The reason I was flustered just now was because... because such a private moment... was seen by my senior sister..."
Ning Hongye pondered for a moment, then continued, "Yunxi, do you still have the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle on you?"
Mu Yunxi nodded and took out the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle from her bosom.
Suddenly, the dark tunnel was filled with dazzling light!
The Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle, is a supreme treasure that condenses the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and unparalleled immortal techniques. Its magnificent appearance cannot be fully described in words; only a few details can be mentioned to glimpse its extraordinary nature.
This bottle is about three feet tall and is made entirely of an unknown golden and emerald green divine material. It is as if the first golden rays of dawn and the purest jade dew essence in the deep forest have been cleverly combined to create this unparalleled celestial treasure.
The golden parts, shimmering with light, resemble the most dazzling star in a galaxy, each turn exuding boundless majesty.
The emerald green part, on the other hand, is as warm and smooth as jade, radiating a soft and profound light, like tender leaves sprouting in spring, full of vitality and hope.
The body of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle is engraved with intricate and delicate celestial patterns. At the neck of the bottle, delicate ripples of gold and emerald green gently sway, like a breeze rippling across a lake, bringing a touch of fresh and refined elegance.
At the mouth of the bottle is a gemstone that emits a faint light. The gemstone's color changes unpredictably, sometimes as golden as the sun, and sometimes as green as a spring.
Whenever immortal power is infused into the gemstone, it sparkles even brighter. It's as if a gentle breeze blows through the bottle, and jade dew is lightly sprinkled, releasing a refreshing and invigorating immortal aura that purifies the mind and enhances cultivation.
Ning Hongye breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle.
"Junior Sister Yunxi, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle is a priceless treasure of our sect; it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders. Right now, that scoundrel Ji Hao is still searching for us..."
"I need the blessing of the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle to try to forcefully break through to the Celestial Immortal Realm... Otherwise, once Ji Hao finds this place, none of us will be able to escape."
Mu Yunxi nodded. She was about to hand the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle to Ning Hongye when she suddenly hesitated.
After a moment's hesitation, Mu Yunxi said softly, "Senior Sister Ning, I already promised Tianyao that I would give him the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle..."
Ning Hongye was slightly taken aback, then said, "Yunxi, the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle is the most precious treasure of our Jingyun Sect. How can you give it away so casually?!"
"Even if Chu Tianyao is truly your Daoist partner, you have no right to give this item to him."
Knowing she was in the wrong, Mu Yunxi remained silent for a moment.
However, since she had promised Chu Tianyao, she was unwilling to break her promise easily.
The situation became somewhat awkward at one point.
Ning Hongye could not allow the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle to be handed over to Chu Tianyao, but Mu Yunxi was his junior sister.
She was unwilling to lay a hand on her junior sister.
Although Mu Yunxi did not speak, she was clearly unwilling to hand over the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle.
Chu Tianyao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yunxi, give the Golden Wind Jade Dew Bottle to your senior sister."
"Tianyao... but I said before that I would give this to you."
"No need," Chu Tianyao said calmly. "A Golden Immortal-level immortal artifact is indeed priceless, but if it puts my woman in a difficult position, then I would rather not have it."
At this point, Chu Tianyao looked at Ning Hongye and said, "Fairy Ning, this item originally belonged to your sect. How could I, Chu, take it away?"
"Yunxi didn't know your whereabouts before, and she promised to give it to me in order to make me eliminate Ji Hao."
"Now that you have appeared, it is only right that the bottle be returned to you. Yunxi, give the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle to Fairy Ning..."
Mu Yunxi then handed the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle to Ning Hongye.
Ning Hongye took the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Bottle, and a change appeared in her gaze as she looked at Chu Tianyao.
"Fellow Immortal Chu, what happened just now... was Hongye's fault. Please forgive me."
The truth has now come to light: Yunxi and Chu Tianyao have become Daoist partners.
So it's only natural for others to cultivate together... to just watch from the sidelines would be suspected of spying...
Ning Hongye felt so embarrassed that she almost scratched her toes on the ground.
Chu Tianyao simply smiled calmly, "Although Fairy Ning was a bit impulsive just now, she genuinely cared about Yunxi. I don't blame you..."
In fact, Ning Hongye had almost crippled Chu Tianyao with a single sword strike.
If it weren't for considering Mu Yunxi's feelings, Chu Tianyao wouldn't have been so magnanimous in forgiving Ning Hongye.
Ning Hongye also knew she was in the wrong. She looked at Mu Yunxi and said, "Junior sister, I need to immediately go into seclusion to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. During this time, I will trouble you to protect me."
Mu Yunxi nodded. "Senior Sister Ning, with me here, you can focus on your breakthrough."
Ning Hongye arrived at a spot in the tunnel and sat down cross-legged.
"I hope the Hehuan Sect... won't discover this place so quickly."
"May the ancestors of Jingyun Sect bless Hongye so that he may successfully break through the barrier!"
A moment later, Ning Hongye entered a meditative state.
Mu Yunxi took Chu Tianyao's hand and said softly, "Tianyao, I'm so sorry about what happened earlier..."
Chu Tianyao smiled faintly, "It's alright... I also hope that Fairy Ning can successfully break through to the next realm."
"Yunxi, let's continue to make the most of our time cultivating..."
"Once Fairy Ning breaks through to the next realm, let's destroy the Joyful Union Sect together!"
