From this point on, Wen Lin never ntioned fishing in front of Ji Yuan again.
Having eaten enough and exchanged pleasantries, Ji Yuan naturally proposed to take his leave.
Wen Lin made a slight attempt to retain him, but ultimately let Ji Yuan go.
After all, the Wen Lin couple lived a stable life here, thanks to Wen Linger’s identity, but Ji Yuan did not have that; he had to fight for everything he needed.
Watching Ji Yuan and Wen Linger leave, the Wen Lin couple returned to their house.
Each holding a cup of tea, they sat down.
Zhao Yuechan pondered for a long while, ultimately deciding to speak: "Husband, don’t you think Linger’s feelings for Ji Yuan are... a bit too much?"
"Noticed it, how could I not?"
Wen Lin sighed.
Zhao Yuechan frowned slightly, "Husband, not to ntion the issue of seniority..."
"Seniority? Both of them are Foundation Establishnt Cultivators; their lifespans are much longer than ours. They are teenagers, does seniority really matter?"
Wen Lin retorted, then shook his head in resignation.
Zhao Yuechan wanted to say more, but Wen Lin interrupted, "Linger’s marriage is not sothing we can worry about anymore with Senior Kong around. You might as well spend more ti embroidering."
"..."
On the other side, after leaving Misty Island, Ji Yuan first took Wen Linger to Qingfeng Island.
It wasn’t that Ji Yuan didn’t want to take her out, but as soon as they left Misty Island, they received Kong Xifeng’s ssage urging Wen Linger to return early.
Watching Wen Linger reluctantly return to Qingfeng Island, Ji Yuan couldn’t help but wonder... Kong Xifeng was indeed a bit overly protective.
After bidding farewell to Wen Linger, Ji Yuan initially planned to go to All Things Island to sell so Immortal Materials he had on him. However, just as he reached halfway, he received a ssage from Dong Qian.
Her voice was very excited.
"Junior Brother, are you back?!"
"Where are you? I went to your Wuyou Island and didn’t see you!"
"I had to go out for sothing urgent... It’s a bit urgent, co back and I’ll tell you."
"I’m waiting for you on Hu Yue Island, and... I’ve already washed up."
... No, Senior Sister, that last sentence was unnecessary.
Ji Yuan didn’t hesitate for even a mont; he felt that even a 0.01-second hesitation would be disrespectful to his own cultivation, so he turned his ship toward Hu Yue Island.
While midway, he even attached a Divine Travel Talisman on the Wind Willow Flying Boat.
If the distance wasn’t so short, Ji Yuan would have considered using the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, Sky-Splitting Boat.
Thus what could have taken a day, Ji Yuan managed to arrive in just half a day, and he had barely reached Hu Yue Island when the array opened a crack on its own.
Ji Yuan’s flying boat slipped right through.
Dong Qian’s cultivation Cave Mansion was set in the middle of that cliff, situated atop the precipice.
Ji Yuan had been here several tis, so he wasn’t unfamiliar, yet this ti... it felt a bit different because originally, there were only a few thatched cottages, but now it was clearly renovated.
Moreover, a house was obviously newly built, with restrictions placed, making the interior a bit dim.
"Junior Brother, co in,"
Dong Qian’s soft voice ca from within that house.
Ji Yuan looked up toward the mountain peak.
The Tier Three Spirit Beast, the six-tailed demon fox, had already been placed on the mountain top by Dong Qian. Given this, what more was there to say?
Ji Yuan quietly advanced and pushed the door open to enter.
The room was slightly dim, lit only by a Treasure Pearl emitting a pink glow.
The rather empty room had only a single extrely spacious bed, and the walls held a few items used against enemies—Attack Spiritual Artifacts—the Five-colored Alchemy Rope!
And a pair of spiritual artifact shackles used to restrain demon beasts.
Where’s the Spirit Beast?
Under the dim light, Ji Yuan saw only a snow-white fox tail raised high.
’This demon beast is rather arrogant; she definitely needs a good lesson!’
"..."
As Ji Yuan’s heart thought arose and fell, five days had passed.
One person, and one human-fox erged from dual cultivation, and after this satisfying training session, Ji Yuan was quite content.
As for Dong Qian, she seed sowhat overcultivated and might need so Elixirs to recuperate well.
After a while.
Senior sister and junior brother sat in formal attire outside the house, enjoying the scenery.
"The other day when Senior Sister called back, did you ntion there was sothing urgent?"
Ji Yuan had never forgotten this, but was previously occupied with cultivation.
Since Dong Qian hadn’t brought it up, he didn’t ask, as cultivation was ultimately more important.
"Oh right, I almost forgot if you hadn’t ntioned it."
Dong Qian patted her forehead, as if just rembering, and then transmitted her voice: "Do you rember Han Feiyu?"
"Of course I rember, wasn’t he assigned by the sect, currently out hunting Demon Cultivators?" Ji Yuan deliberately rephrased it subtly, responding likewise.
"I went out this ti to et him."
"Still because of you."
"Because of ?"
Ji Yuan was a bit puzzled, "How does it relate to ?"
"Because the person he wanted to see was actually you," Dong Qian said, taking out a Sound Recording Talisman sealed with restrictions from her Storage Bag. "He entrusted this to for you, and this must not be known to outsiders. He said if it leaked, he would be in grave danger."
Dong Qian spoke so formally that Ji Yuan was hesitant to look into what the ssage contained.
"Alright."
Under Dong Qian’s curious gaze, Ji Yuan finally used Spiritual Qi to lift the restriction on the Sound Recording Talisman.
Then, Han Feiyu’s voice echoed in Ji Yuan’s mind.
"Brother Ji, long ti no see, how have you been recently?
This ssage entrusted to Dong Junior Sister is mainly to inform you of a few matters, but please keep them confidential. If this matter spreads... I will undoubtedly die."
"Judging by your cautious nature, you’re likely regretting hearing the contents of this Sound Recording Talisman, but there’s no choice; you’re the only one I can trust now."
"Moreover, surveying the people around , only you can resolve this issue."
"Alright, enough said, let tell you straight."
"Feng Yichen is already dead; the current him is possessed by an old monster from the Shang Court nad Situ Feng."

(Hmm... it’s only reasonable that when Master forms a Nascent Soul he’s a Nascent Soul True Monarch, while others are Nascent Soul Monsters, right?)
(Fellow Daoists looking at the map must know, the Sword Ruins is being attacked, and the Demon Dao invasion plot starts tomorrow. These two Chapters are the last bit of peace; of course, the chaos affects others, Brother Ji Celestial Venerable still needs to cultivate, off to write, lastly asking for a monthly ticket!)
