A hint of disappointment flashed in Fu Yan's eyes, but she asked unwillingly, "You just said you did it for someone on Blue Star... was that person me?"
"yes."
Seeing his serious expression, Fu Yan's eyes instantly reddened, and her voice choked with emotion: "Then why did you...?"
When Yu Bugui left Blue Star, she hinted at her feelings, but his reply was that he had already cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness and would never marry or have children in this life, much less love anyone.
"I'm sorry, Ayan, what I said before hurt you. From the moment the Buddhist sect sent me to Cangming to suppress the demons, my fate was already sealed. I didn't want to hold you back... I thought I would never return to the Holy Domain in this lifetime, and with the awakening of the demons, I was already prepared to die. I never expected that girl to be my lucky star."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yan burst into tears. Yu Bugui hugged her and let her cry her heart out, letting out all her grievances.
Soon after, the two separated, and Fu Yan's emotions quickly stabilized. The paper separating them for hundreds of years was torn apart at this moment.
Yu Bugui seemed to realize something and looked at Fu Yan.
"By the way, Ayan, that girl wrote a letter, asking if the Five Elements Pearl is on Blue Star."
When Fu Yan heard that it was Ji Jiuying, her thoughts were instantly pulled back.
"The Five Elements Beads? What does that girl need the Five Elements Beads for?"
Yu Bugui shook his head and then asked, "Does Ayan know the whereabouts of the Five Elements Pearl?"
Fu Yan nodded: "When I was handing over with Dean Xiao before, he mentioned a Five Elements Pearl. It seems to be in the underground spiritual vein. Since you want it, I'll go find it now."
Upon hearing this, Yu Bugui immediately stood up and said, "Then I will go with you."
"good."
The two transformed into a streak of light and vanished from the spot in an instant.
An hour later, as the two emerged from the underground spiritual vein, Ji Jiuying and Gong Mingyue also arrived on Blue Star.
"It's that girl."
"Master, mistress."
When she heard Ji Jiuying call her "Master's Wife," Fu Yan was slightly taken aback. She then coughed lightly to cover her discomfort but didn't say anything.
Ji Jiuying had only intended to test the two of them. When she saw Fu Yan's expression, she understood everything. Then she looked meaningfully at Yu Bugui, who blushed and came to Ji Jiuying's side, whispering something.
"My disciple, look how you've made your master's wife blush."
"What are you whispering about?" Fu Yan noticed the strange look in their eyes and walked over.
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you in a while, and I miss you terribly—"
From an angle where Fu Yan couldn't see, Yu Bugui patted the gourd-shaped wine bottle at his waist as he spoke.
······
"Girl, here are the Five Elements Beads you wanted."
A bead emitting a white light appeared in Fu Yan's hand, and then slowly floated to Ji Jiuying's front. Ji Jiuying reached out and caught the Five Elements Bead.
"Thank you, Master's wife."
Fu Yan's face flushed slightly, and she asked, "By the way, girl, what do you need these Five Elements Beads for?"
"Yes, what do you need the Five Elements Beads for?"
Yu Bugui asked curiously.
Ji Jiuying glanced at Gong Mingyue behind her, smiled slightly, and told the two of them her plan. After listening, the two of them were petrified on the spot.
Yu Bugui's expression was somewhat solemn. Although he knew she was a goddess of the divine race, he doubted that the Heavenly Dao would easily give in: "Disciple, merging Cangming and the Holy Domain isn't something that can be done simply with these Five Elements Pearls..."
"I know what you're worried about, Master. Don't worry, there's no problem with the Heavenly Dao."
Hearing her say it so casually, it seems she already has a plan on the Heavenly Dao side. However, the Five Elements Pearls are scattered among various forces, and it will probably not be easy to gather them together.
"My dear disciple, are you going to the Demon Realm and the Demon Clan?"
Ji Jiuying nodded, and Yu Bugui added, "Then I'll go with you, so we can look out for each other along the way."
"No need, Master. A-Yue and I are enough. Don't worry."
"Alright then, be careful on the road!"
"I understand, I'm leaving now, Master and Mistress."
After saying that, Ji Jiuying walked past Yu Bugui. In a direction that Fu Yan couldn't see, a hint of surprise flashed in Yu Bugui's eyes. Now there would be fine wine to drink.
——
After leaving Blue Star, the two headed straight for the Demon Realm. Wen Chuyu suggested that they go together. Although Gong Mingyue was unwilling, he did not say anything.
Along the way, the two acted like strangers, and the strange atmosphere made Ji Jiuying feel a little confused.
The group arrived in the demon realm without incident. The demons they encountered along the way looked at them with hostility, but the powerful aura emanating from them made them dare not make any rash moves.
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Qinghu slowly opened his golden eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in them. What were they doing in the Demon Realm?
At this moment, a fluctuation of spiritual energy came from the air. Qinghu frowned slightly and disappeared from the Demon Palace in an instant.
Above the demon realm, several people stood facing each other.
At this moment, Qinghu was still wearing the fox mask and asked, "Our demon race, human race, and god race have always kept to themselves. May I ask what brings you esteemed guests to my demon realm?"
Although she couldn't see his eyes behind the mask, Ji Jiuying could clearly feel his gaze on her.
Gong Mingyue narrowed his eyes, about to step forward to say something, but Ji Jiuying grabbed his hand. Qinghu chuckled inwardly, his lips curving slightly beneath the fox mask.
"Qinghu, we've come here to borrow something from you, nothing more."
Qinghu's gaze fell on Ji Jiuying again, and he chuckled, "I wonder what my demon realm has that requires the goddess to come and borrow it personally?"
"It's the Five Elements..."
"We have come here to borrow the Five Elements Pearl from the Demon Realm. If you are willing, I can grant you one request."
Wen Chuyu's icy blue eyes stared straight at Qinghu. Qinghu's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly scoffed, "Fine, I agree."
To obtain a condition from the Nine Realms Envoy is something many people would covet. The Five Elements Pearl is of little use to him, but he would certainly not let go of the opportunity to exchange it for a condition from Wen Chuyu, especially since he himself needs Wen Chuyu's help.
Ji Jiuying glanced at the two of them with a puzzled look, then looked at Gong Mingyue with confusion.
Although Jiu'er Qinghu is a demon king, she can no longer advance into the realm of gods. However, with the help of the envoys of the Nine Realms, the demon race will eventually have a place in the realm of gods.
[So that's why Chu Yu wanted to come with us in the first place?]
Gong Mingyue shook his head, his gaze falling on Ji Jiuying's profile, and spoke.
Not entirely...
Wen Chuyu knew Qinghu's feelings for her. If she needed his help, he might make some difficult requests. So, to avoid unnecessary trouble, he suggested that they go to the Demon Realm together.
"Where is Murong Zheng?"
Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
"I am currently in the demon transformation stage and have been in seclusion for over a year."
Ji Jiuying nodded, and after obtaining the Five Elements Pearls from the Demon Realm, the group left the Demon Domain.
