Ruan Xiyan put away the Glazed Demon Flame as instructed. "It seems you know quite a bit. Did I have a grudge against you before? Or was there some kind of conflict between us? You seem to harbor a lot of resentment towards me."
"Just tell me what I want to know. If you hide anything, I'll let you taste the Glazed Demon Flame again."
"I'll talk, I'll talk, okay?" the seven-colored thundercloud cried.
The female demon no longer has the power she once possessed, so how could she so easily control it? It's too pitiful to have fallen into the female demon's hands again.
"Actually, it's nothing. You are a fearsome female demon of the demon race. You used to bully and tease me all the time. Now I suddenly find out that you have been reincarnated as a human."
"I still need to cultivate again and improve my strength step by step. Seeing that you have finally fallen into my hands, I naturally can't suppress my ulterior motives and want to take this opportunity to get revenge."
The seven-colored thundercloud quickly recounted the events without pausing, its mouth practically chapped from talking so much.
However, it did not expect that this female demon, even after being reincarnated as a human, would still be so monstrous and freakish. The power of the lightning tribulation not only did not harm her, but also made her physique even stronger.
"What did I do to you that you've held a grudge for so long?" Ruan Xiyan asked curiously, kneading the soft, multicolored thundercloud in her hands, pressing it up and down, and pulling it left and right. It was extremely soft.
The seven-colored thundercloud bared its teeth, but dared not resist. It could only let Ruan Xiyan play with it in her hands, while verbally accusing Ruan Xiyan of the excessive things she had done to it.
“Our Lei Yun’s hairstyle is wavy, but you insisted that a round one looks better, chubby and round, so you ignored my objections and shaved my hair into a round shape.”
"Because of this, I have been ridiculed by other thunderclouds for many years. It has only been a long time since my flowing wavy hair has grown back."
At this point, the Seven-Colored Thundercloud looked at Ruan Xiyan warily and raised its hand to protect its wavy hair.
Seeing its little tricks, Ruan Xiyan's lips twitched. She used to have such a wicked sense of humor.
"You never treat me, the Seven-Colored Thundercloud, as a cloud. You summon me and dismiss me at will. I am a thundercloud that everyone fears, yet it seems to have become your exclusive property."
"You always manage to grab me so easily, and then make me work myself to death for you, and every now and then you even make me go and take down an enemy for you."
"Sometimes when we're having barbecue, you'll grab me and make me chop some firewood and start a fire for you. Of course, I'll also sneak a bite or two."
"In short, to you, I'm just a free tool, something you can take wherever you need me."
The more the seven-colored thundercloud complained, the more aggrieved it felt; it was no easy feat for it to have survived until now in the hands of the female demon.
Ruan Xiyan pondered, "Hearing you say that, you have a pretty clear understanding of yourself. But there's nothing wrong with what I did in the past. Free thugs, why not use them?"
"You, you, you!" Hearing Ruan Xiyan's words, the Seven-Colored Thunder Cloud glared at her angrily, "As expected, no matter how much time has passed, you female demon are still so wicked."
"There's a saying among humans that's true: you, she-devil, are just like that—old habits die hard. Even after being reincarnated as a mortal, you still like to bully me."
Ruan Xiyan poked the soft body of the Seven-Colored Thundercloud with her finger, "Isn't it because you willingly came up to me and let me bully you?"
"I—" Seven-colored thundercloud was speechless, it seemed that it really was true.
The female demon had lost her memory and didn't remember the past or it at all. If it hadn't wanted to get revenge, it wouldn't have been exposed in front of the female demon and had fallen into her hands due to a moment of carelessness.
"She-devil, what do you want? I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please let me go." The seven-colored thundercloud rubbed against Ruan Xiyan's palm in a fawning manner.
"Someone is about to undergo tribulation, and I'm going to chop them down. If I'm caught leaving my post, I'll die and my soul will be destroyed. The consequences will be terrible." The seven-colored thundercloud's misty eyes stared at Ruan Xiyan.
What did you call me?
"Woman...no, Grandma! Ancestor! I was wrong, I will never offend you again, please be merciful and forgive me this time, okay?"
Ruan Xiyan stopped teasing it and loosened her grip, causing the seven-colored thundercloud to fall onto the soft thundercloud mass with a "plop".
The colorful thunderclouds, as if granted a pardon, vanished in a flash, as if chased by a raging flood or ferocious beast. The thunderclouds also dispersed quickly, as if fleeing a famine.
Ruan Xiyan looked at the low-level Immortal Saint Realm on her body and the corner of her mouth curled up.
She vanished in a flash from the desolate mountain.
After returning to the Illusionary Concealment Sect, Ruan Xiyan stopped cultivating and put Biqiong and the others back into her spatial storage.
Now that her strength has reached the Immortal Saint Realm, staying on the cultivation continent will not significantly improve her strength. She should be heading to the Nine Provinces Continent soon.
As she ventured into a wider world, she was also able to get closer to her master, for she had not forgotten that her master was trapped on the Nine Provinces Continent.
Before that, she wanted to return to the mortal continent. She had been away from the mortal continent for several years and wanted to go back to see her father and several brothers.
Moreover, for some reason, she has been feeling very uneasy lately, with a bad feeling that something is about to happen.
She wasn't sure where this unease came from, but she was eager to go back and see her father and the others.
To travel from the cultivation continent to the mortal continent, a god-king level expert can tear through the void and arrive instantly. Of course, there is another way: a high-level teleportation array.
However, high-level teleportation arrays are extremely rare on the continent. Firstly, the setup and use of high-level teleportation arrays require a considerable amount of top-grade spirit stones, and not many people on the continent can afford to produce such high-grade spirit stones.
Secondly, few people are willing to spend a lot of top-grade spirit stones just to go to the secular continent. After all, people strive to go to higher levels, and people go to great lengths to reach higher-level continents rather than the lower-level secular continents.
Ruan Xiyan had top-grade spirit stones, so she simply set up a high-level teleportation array in the Illusionary Hidden Sect.
Like top-grade spirit stones, these teleportation arrays are consumables. If the Illusionary Hidden Sect hadn't become a top-tier power with a considerable number of top-grade spirit stones, they really wouldn't have been able to afford such extravagance.
Knowing that Ruan Xiyan was going back to the mortal world, Yu Qiqi and Lin Muze readily agreed to go. No matter how good the cultivation world was, the mortal world was also their home.
Luo Wanyin had long since lost her home in the secular world, and had nowhere else to call home. She decided to stay in the Illusionary Hidden Sect and protect this home.
Tinghe and Yingxue were so busy with alchemy and weapon crafting that they couldn't spare the time to return to the mortal world. They simply asked Ruan Xiyan to convey their regards to Xunmei.
