The night breeze was slightly cool.
Zhu Yu suddenly woke from his dream, finding himself still sitting on the upturned eaves of the rooftop of the Central Brightness Palace.
What on earth is wrong with ...
He rubbed his temples, unable to recall what had happened before, left with only so blurry fragnts.
Could it be that my obsession with my master is so deep that I had a dream? Heh... it's indeed true that events pass like spring dreams, traceless.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened. He stared at the new socks and underpants in his hands, his expression gradually growing excited.
He realized that what had happened before was not a dream.
It must have been that my master was feeling shy and embarrassed, so she knocked out, leaving in a semi-conscious state. After everything was done, she put back where I was and even gave two new pieces... Yes, that has to be it!
"Master, oh master, why would you do all this?"
"Huh... Does master actually like n's style underwear now?"
"..."
「anwhile.」
「At Wangjian Inn.」
Luo Xiu leaned over a water tank, frantically gargling and brushing his teeth.
That Heavenly Azure Empress was simply too despicable! I told her I was allergic to seafood, but she just kept shoving that abalone into my mouth! Even Su Shenyun had never been that awful!
「The next day.」
Luo Xiu slept until he naturally woke up, which was around noon.
Thanks to his strong physique, he felt no back pain or weariness, even after the long battle the previous night.
As for the Heavenly Azure Empress, she probably has to lie in bed all day to recover.
Throughout the day, Luo Xiu had plenty of leisure ti. He took Hua Muyan and Immortal out for a stroll and eventually found a place to fish.
Hua Muyan found it boring and, quite unhappy, asked him what kind of fish he was fishing for.
In response, he cheekily mimicked Zhang Yi and delivered a pun, "A love for you that will never waver (yú)."
The line flustered Hua Muyan so much... she practically wanted to have his babies right then and there.
「In the blink of an eye.」
As dusk fell and lanterns were lit.
「In the guest room.」
After sending away the botherso Immortal, Luo Xiu and Hua Muyan could finally enjoy so quiet ti together. They sat on the edge of the bed, hugging each other intimately.
Luo Xiu's hands started to roam.
"Ah, Master, why do you always like to touch Yan'er's legs?"
"These sleek, silky legs... I could play with them for a lifeti and never get bored."
"Then tell , are my legs more beautiful, or are theirs?"
"Now you're putting on the spot. All I can say is that yours are the most beautiful."
"Tsk, I don't believe you! When they ask, you'll definitely say their legs are the best."
"..."
"AHEM, AHEM!"
Just as the two were getting carried away, a couple of coughs ca from the window behind them.
Luo Xiu turned to look, only to see Wei Qingkuang leaning against the window fra. Her long hair fluttered gently in the night, glowing translucently like crystal silk.
"It seems I've co at an inopportune mont."
Wei Qingkuang leaped down from the window, her expression strange as she looked at the two of them.
She was still as cold and noble as ever, her face unsmiling.
However, Luo Xiu knew that she was definitely pretending.
Hua Muyan smiled apologetically at her.
Luo Xiu, on the other hand, appeared quite nonchalant as he asked, "Is there any news?"
Wei Qingkuang's expression turned serious. "There is news of the Lotus Stele. The whereabouts of the Three-Star Clan are still being investigated."
After a pause, she added, "The Lotus Stele was placed by Luo Hao in the Evergreen Forest, but that place is a forbidden area guarded by layers of barriers, and even I cannot enter."
Luo Xiu frowned slightly at her words.
After so thought, Wei Qingkuang said, "If you try to break through the barrier, you'll definitely cause a huge commotion, so I suggest you enter the Evergreen Forest from the Heavenly Plains."
As she spoke, she took out a map and handed it to Luo Xiu.
"I've marked the specific route for you, but getting into the Heavenly Plains isn't easy either. You'll have to figure out a way on your own."
Luo Xiu took the map and asked, "You're not coming with ?"
Wei Qingkuang raised her chin, her gaze falling on Hua Muyan's face as she said sarcastically, "With your precious Yan'er accompanying you, I would be completely superfluous."
Hua Muyan covered her mouth and giggled. "Should I leave, then?"
Wei Qingkuang glared fiercely at Luo Xiu before saying to Hua Muyan, "Yan'er, let tell you a secret. This guy is allergic to seafood. you could try using that against him."
At her words, Hua Muyan looked confused and was about to ask, but then she instantly grasped the hidden aning and couldn't help but blush.
Wei Qingkuang waved her hand and turned to jump onto the windowsill. "Alright, it's not that I won't accompany you, I just can't. The people from Shadow Tower are keeping an eye on . I need to get back right now."
"..."
「A short while later.」
After Wei Qingkuang left, Hua Muyan transford into a Flower Vine and wrapped around Luo Xiu's wrist. He then pushed open the window and vanished into the night.
Although Wangjian Town was far from the Heavenly Plains, Luo Xiu's speed was far greater.
Before long, Luo Xiu reached the Heavenly Plains.
Just as Wei Qingkuang had said, it was difficult to enter. Its defenses were no less strict than those of the Heavenly Azure Imperial Palace, and perhaps even surpassed them.
Luo Xiu stood on a floating island outside the Heavenly Plains, looking up to see a giant tree in the distance that emitted a faint glow in the night.
Hua Muyan's voice echoed in his mind, "That must be the Sacred Tree of the Lingtian Plateau, also known as Construct Wood. Master, Yan'er can feel a very intimate presence from it. This feeling... it's like returning to my hotown and seeing family."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu recalled a heart-to-heart conversation he'd had with Hua Muyan long ago. She had told him she was originally just a Flower Vine whom Chu Yiguan had brought to Earth.
"Then let's go. I'll take you ho."
"But how do we get in? Do we force our way through?"
A faint smile played on Luo Xiu's lips as he suddenly took out a token from his Human Sanctuary.
"The original plan was to force my way in, but now it seems there's no need for that."
Before arriving, Luo Xiu's extended Divine Sense had already detected soone using such a token. The Tree Demon had imdiately granted them passage into the Heavenly Plains. He then rembered that he, too, had such a token.
He recalled that the token had been gifted to him by Luo Qingxian after he had saved her at the Golden Roc Nest within the Ancient God Ruins. It had been set aside all this ti, yet unexpectedly, it would co in handy today.
Afterward, Luo Xiu flew off the floating island, heading toward the giant ancient tree.
That ancient tree was actually a ten-thousand-year Tree Demon, its Cultivation Strength no less than that of a White Emperor.
As he approached the Tree Demon, Luo Xiu simply presented the token.
「Not long after.」
The Tree Demon's branches and leaves shook. Countless vines intertwined like tentacles in the sky, weaving together to open a huge, circular spatial portal.
Luo Xiu darted into it and instantly vanished from sight.
After successfully entering the Heavenly Plains, Luo Xiu followed the route Wei Qingkuang had marked on the map. He soon arrived at his destination.
The so-called Evergreen Forest was an island floating above the plateau, serving as a link between the Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital and the Heavenly Plains.
Luo Xiu stood at the edge of a cliff, his expression contemplative as he looked down at the waterfall glowing in the moonlight.
Above this waterfall was an invisible barrier.
Moreover, the barrier was strong. If Luo Xiu wanted to forcibly break through, he would have no choice but to use the Glazed Thunder and the Mysterious Central Sword. But doing so would create a huge commotion.
And once a commotion was raised, even if he entered the Evergreen Forest and found the Lotus Stele, he wouldn't be able to peacefully contemplate the Cultivation Technique.
Just then, Hua Muyan's voice ca into his mind, "Master, this barrier seems to contain the aura of Construct Wood. Yan'er should be able to open it."
