Yu Ziqing tried to remain composed, calming down the frightened Lady Ji ng.
He could feel that Lady Ji ng initially felt grateful to him, but now there seed to be a hint of politeness in her deanor.
As for why, Yu Ziqing knew it well.
If he had known that the giant was her "big brother at ho," he would have definitely been more courteous.
Initially, Yu Ziqing wanted Lady Ji ng to leave quickly, but she insisted on first ensuring Yu Ziqing's safe return.
She said that the Primordial Spirit Realm master had his Primordial Spirit torn in half and didn't fall on the spot.
That guy escaped, but there might be others sensing the problem here and co to investigate.
She first cleansed the lingering auras for Yu Ziqing, concealing all traces and safely sent him back, severing all ties with this place.
Of course, she didn't think Yu Ziqing would be afraid; she just felt that less trouble would be better.
Judging by Yu Ziqing's deanor, he didn't seem like the type who would like to flaunt or deliberately stir up trouble.
Naturally, Yu Ziqing did not refuse, and he thanked her very politely.
Having been sent near Jinlan Mountain, Yu Ziqing thought for a while and took out a barrel of Vitality Water.
"I don't have much else, but you might find this useful. This barrel of water is for you, Sister-in-law. Please, don't be too modest."
Yu Ziqing opened the barrel lid, and a surge of vitality burst forth.
The words of refusal were on the tip of Lady Ji ng's tongue, but she swallowed them forcefully.
She indeed did not need it, but her husband did.
That imnse vitality was rarely seen in the world, and unlike any strange water she had ever known, she didn't understand where this pure and vibrant water ca from.
"No need to stand on ceremony."
"Then thank you very much. You must co to the Southern Sea when you have a chance. We will reserve the best island for you."
The Vitality Water from the barrel transford into a water dragon, soared to the sky, and disappeared into the clouds.
"Safe travels, Sister-in-law."
Yu Ziqing bowed, seeing Lady Ji ng off.
Even in the rain, Yu Ziqing couldn't sense her presence unless she deliberately spread her essence. Without rain, it was even harder to detect her.
Her formless, bodiless state was sowhat akin to a Heavenly Demon.
Yu Ziqing didn't know exactly what she was. Whatever the case, considering the Southern Sea from ancient tis to the present, he could guess that Lady Ji ng must have been in an invincible position in such a place.
Similar to an Earth Deity, yet not quite, it was all very peculiar.
Of course, all of this was unimportant. As long as they were a friendly force, it didn't matter if they were human or not.
When it ca to complex thoughts, it depended on the person; other races often had to take a back seat.
Yu Ziqing hadn't been standing there long when Yang flew out from Jinlan Mountain.
Seeing Yu Ziqing, he imdiately asked,
"Why are you here? Who else was here just now?"
"Did you discover sothing?"
"I felt a strange rain; it shouldn't have been raining like that."
"You could sense it?" Yu Ziqing asked casually, then nodded, "Makes sense; you can sense these things in your other form. It's rather normal. Let's discuss it back ho."
Back at Jinlan Mountain, Yu Ziqing recounted to Yang his venture to the southern wilderness and Silver Lake Forbidden Land.
Yang eyed Yu Ziqing up and down.
"In such a short ti, you encountered this much?"
"How would I know? Is it my fault for running into things?"
"I'm not blaming you, but ever since you returned from the Sealing Land, your fortune indeed seems strong, and everything you do seems unusually smooth."
"Tell about it."
"I've read records about Ji ng; he wasn't from the Divine Dynasty and always lived in the Southern Sea since ancient tis.
What his origins are, I do not know, nor are there any initial records.
The earliest accounts already have him in the Southern Sea.
Now, after all this ti, he's only suffered a significant drop in power, with no hint of having fallen. It's indeed not simple.
Furthermore, there's no ntion in records about Ji ng having a wife.
The storms in the Southern Sea have persisted for so many years, and I'd never seen any records saying it wasn't a natural occurrence.
I've been to the Southern Sea, spent so years there, and researched many things."
At this point, Yang shook his head, mocking himself with a smile.
"Back then, I thought the situation in the Southern Sea was influenced by various natural factors, ultimately reaching that state of perpetual storms.
Who would have thought the crucial cause was like this? Who could have anticipated that?"
Yu Ziqing gave Yang a sympathetic glance. No wonder no one in this world ever studied teorological changes or geohydrology. How could you study such arcane phenona?
Who knows if the environntal changes in an area are caused by a cultivator or sothing else entirely.
You'd end up researching half your life, only to realize there's no pattern, just so master sleeping and unknowingly affecting the weather.
It's no wonder that mindset would collapse.
"It's best you don't go out for a while, just stay at ho. Even if you're using your good fortune, doing so at ho is better."
