Land of Lawlessness.
Hundred Herbs Garden.
Not far from the Primordial Divine Vine, space suddenly twisted, emanating a strange golden light.
Master Ping, who was dozing nearby, was startled awake. He looked up to see Luo Xiu approaching, cursing under his breath.
"Yo, you're back, little brother? How was the haul today?"
Luo Xiu waved his hand dismissively. "Ugh, don't even get started. I got twenty Treasure Boxes, but I left them all in the Access Space. I completely forgot to retrieve them when I ca out."
"I also killed a Fla Demon Scorpion and took its Treasured Blood and inner core, but I fucking left them in the Access Space, too. Forgot all about them."
Hearing this, Master Ping's expression changed instantly, giving Luo Xiu a look one might reserve for a lovable idiot.
"Heh. I, Master Ping, will just chuckle and say nothing."
"I've been standing guard here for half a day, hoping you'd bring back sothing good. In the end, you didn't even bring back a single hair."
"Speaking of which, that Fla Demon Scorpion is an exceptionally rare creature. How did you kill it?"
With a re thought from Luo Xiu, a palm-sized Thunderfish flew out from his body.
Master Ping's eyes widened in shock. "Holy crap, is that a Thunder Dao Creature?!"
Luo Xiu smiled. "Master Ping certainly knows his stuff."
"Speaking of which, I ran into a crazy woman today. I saved her life, and she still insisted on trying to kill ."
"Alright, enough of that nonsense. Co on, let's you and I have a proper drink tonight."
"Who the hell are you to get so familiar?"
"…"
「Three Thousand Worlds of the Upper Realm.」
In a small, desolate world, abandoned for a thousand years and long forgotten.
Luo Xian woke up in her cave dwelling. She took out the Fla Demon Scorpion's Ling Bone from her Human Sanctuary and stared at it blankly, lost in thought.
Perhaps she was reminded of sothing embarrassing, because her cheeks involuntarily reddened.
This little fellow… he's quite interesting.
His personality is so much like Tian'er's when he was young. Being with him… it feels like Tian'er is right here beside .
Why do I miss him so much already, after we were only apart for such a short ti?
As she mulled this over, Luo Xian suddenly grew frantic.
Sigh, I wonder how Xian'er is doing.
"…"
「anwhile.」
「Lingtian Plateau.」
Inside the Saintess Palace, Luo Qingxian stord out of her boudoir. She found the kind old woman and began venting about the grievances she had suffered in the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven that day.
Just then, a Palace Maid approached, bowed, and said, "Her Highness the Holy Maiden, Master Zhu wishes to see you."
"Zhu Yu?" Luo Qingxian's brow furrowed slightly. "What's he here for?"
The Palace Maid replied, "He says he has sothing to discuss with Your Highness."
"Let him wait in the hall."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"…"
Soon after, Luo Qingxian arrived in the main hall and saw Zhu Yu, who had been waiting for so ti.
"What is it?"
Zhu Yu looked at the icy Luo Qingxian with a smile on his face, but inwardly he was fuming.
She's about to marry and she's still acting so high and mighty?
Just wait until I get you in my bed. We'll see if I don't teach you a lesson then!
"If you have sothing to say, spit it out!" Luo Qingxian's impatient voice cut through his thoughts.
Zhu Yu collected himself, put on a polite smile, and said, "It's like this, Your Highness. Before my master entered seclusion, he left instructions. He said that the entrance to the Boundless Heavens would be opening soon, and he specifically commanded to accompany you, Your Highness, to explore it on behalf of the Lingtian Plateau."
Luo Qingxian replied coolly, "The Emperor of the Heaven Azure Empire isn't qualified to order a Holy Maiden around, is he?"
Zhu Yu gave a bitter smile. "Your Highness, that's not what I ant."
Luo Qingxian's expression remained cold. "There's nothing there worth exploring. Go by yourself. I still have matters to attend to in the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."
Zhu Yu thought for a mont before saying, "According to the Celestial chanism Elder, one of the Azure Emperor's forr palaces appeared in the Boundless Heavens not long ago. Furthermore, traces of the aura of the Azure Emperor's War Sword fragnts have also been detected there."
Hearing this, Luo Qingxian's delicate brows furrowed. After a mont of silence, she asked, "When do we leave?"
Zhu Yu inwardly snickered. All he had to do was ntion the Azure Emperor, and he could have this Holy Maiden wrapped around his little finger.
Of course, he wasn't lying. The Boundless Heavens would indeed be opening soon, and the Celestial chanism Elder had truly said that a palace of the Azure Emperor had appeared there.
"I don't know the specific ti, but I will inform Your Highness in advance of our departure. Therefore, I must ask Your Highness to remain in the palace for the ti being and not wander off."
"Wander off?" Luo Qingxian spun around and stared at him, her displeasure clear. "Do I need your permission to decide where I wish to be?"
Zhu Yu wore a wry smile. "Your Highness, I didn't an that… Sigh, I'll just tell you the truth. There was a prison break on Calamity Extermination Island not long ago, and so of the ministers from the empire suspect… they suspect that you, Your Highness…"
Hearing this, Luo Qingxian scoffed. "I have been in quiet cultivation within the palace this entire ti. When would I have ti to go to a place like that?"
"Of course, I know that. And I believe you, Your Highness."
"That's enough. You may leave."
"…"

「The next day.」
「Land of Lawlessness.」
Luo Xiu woke up to find Hua Muyan sprawled lazily across his chest, fast asleep.
He gently pushed her away, rolled out of bed, and stretched long and hard, a wave of soreness washing over his back.
Even with a Thunder Path Physique, I can't take this kind of abuse.
Luo Xiu looked at the disheveled bed and recalled the previous night's events with a shudder of fear.
Last night, Hua Muyan had created four Flower Demon Clones to deal with him. It had completely exhausted him. Even with his Thunder Path Physique, he had nearly been defeated.
Forget it. I'd better keep my distance from Yan'er from now on. I can't afford to provoke her. I really can't.
Luo Xiu didn't dare hesitate, terrified that Hua Muyan might wake up and start clinging to him again. He imdiately sat cross-legged, activated a spell, and entered the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven.
***
「Tenth Layer of Oracle Cave Heaven, Mahayana Realm.」
Sowhere in the Ferocious Land.
As soon as Luo Xiu appeared, he saw the two beautiful Fairies.
"Good morning, you two Fairies."
Luo Xian waved warmly and graciously, smiling. "Good morning. We also just arrived."
Luo Qingxian, however, glared at Luo Xiu with a look of pure loathing, muttering, "Profligate!"
Luo Xiu pursed his lips and muttered back, "White Tiger Fairy."
At this, Luo Qingxian's face flushed beet-red. She drew her sword and was about to charge at him.
Luo Xian sighed helplessly and flashed between them. "It's early in the morning. Can't the two of you just be quiet for a bit?"
Luo Qingxian huffed, sheathed her sword, and turned away. "I'll spare this profligate for today!"
Luo Xiu shrugged nonchalantly. "Considering your vital energy is greatly depleted and you haven't fully recovered, I won't bother with you either."
As he spoke, Luo Xiu suddenly frowned.
"Soone's coming."
Just a mont ago, the Divine Sense he had released detected a large group of people heading their way, and they seed to have locked onto him.
Luo Xian asked, "Who is it?"
The corner of Luo Xiu's mouth curled up. "I don't recognize any of them, but that Celestial Realm small fry from yesterday is in the group. He brought a lot more people this ti. He probably called his master to co and make trouble for ."
"The enemy is coming in strong, and there are a lot of them. Perhaps you two Fairies should stand back for now?"
Luo Xian, however, wore a serious expression. "Since we are companions, we shall face adversity together. Taoist Ao, do not say such things again."
Luo Xiu gave Luo Xian a deep look, thinking she was a truly righteous woman.
In the Cultivation World, such righteous friends were truly rare. He knew he had to cherish such a friend.
Luo Xiu said in a joking tone, "Travel with , and you'll eat the best food, drink the best wine, and find endless opportunities."
Luo Xian rolled her eyes at him. "This is no ti for jokes. We should prepare to face the enemy."
Luo Xiu laughed. "Don't worry, Fairy. They're just a bunch of Celestial Realm small fry. They aren't coming to cause trouble; they're coming to bring us gifts."
Luo Xiu had absolute confidence in the Thunder Dao Creatures inside him.
