The depths of the Eastern Sea?
Wasn’t that the territory of Su Yao and her rfolk tribe?
She might know the whereabouts of the Water Essence.
Upon realizing this, Ye Yu’s heart soared with excitent.
He quickly retrieved the Heavenly Soul Fruit that Ge Qingzhi had given him.
Handing it over to Tuoba Qiyue, he said, “Senior Sister, take this Heavenly Soul Fruit back to heal that woman first.
I need to find sothing, and I’ll return once I have it.”
With those words, Ye Yu transford into a streak of sword light, speeding toward the Eastern Sea.
Watching him go, Tuoba Qiyue was slightly taken aback.
Just left like that?
However, far from feeling annoyed, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
A man with a bit of aloofness was all the more attractive.
As long as he wasn’t cold when practicing calligraphy, it was fine.
Oh, she had the perfect personality for the main character of her new book now.
Ever since becoming Dao Companions with her Junior Brother.
Ideas had flowed non-stop.
No, she needed to hurry back, finish what he’d tasked her with, and start writing her new book.
If she waited any longer, her hands would itch from the need to write!
Several hours later.
Tuoba Qiyue returned to the Five-Finger Peak of the Qingyun Sect.
To her surprise, Hong Luan, who typically drank or found success gambling on other peaks, was instead quietly watching over Lin Miaoxue with an amused smile.
Curious, Tuoba Qiyue asked, “Master, what are you doing?”
Hong Luan didn’t answer directly but instead asked, “Did you bring the Heavenly Soul Fruit? And where’s Ye Yu?”
“Master, Junior Brother had so business to take care of and went out, but he’ll be back soon. As for the Heavenly Soul Fruit, I’ve got it right here!”
Tuoba Qiyue took out the Heavenly Soul Fruit from her storage ring.
Hong Luan nodded slightly, signaling her to go ahead.
Without further delay, Tuoba Qiyue fed the Heavenly Soul Fruit to Lin Miaoxue and used a spell to restore her spirit fully.
Once everything was done, Tuoba Qiyue let out a sigh of relief.
“Master, her spirit is now fully stabilized. I’m sure she’ll wake up soon.”
Hong Luan glanced at the still-sleeping Lin Miaoxue, her smile widening.
“Good, you can go rest. I’ll stay here and wait.”
But Tuoba Qiyue didn’t leave right away.
She hesitated for a long while before finally saying, “Master, there’s sothing I need to ask you about the curse.
Why doesn’t Junior Brother seem affected when he’s with ?
What’s going on?”
This question had puzzled her throughout her journey.
Previously, they were only Senior Sister and Junior Brother, spending little ti together, and Ye Yu had never seed affected.
But now.
They were Dao Companions, and they would spend even more ti together.
Perhaps the curse wouldn’t affect him right away, but over ti, who knew?
For Ye Yu’s safety, she needed to understand the curse’s nature.
In her mind, she had already prepared herself for the possibility.
If prolonged ti together would indeed affect Ye Yu.
Then.
She would et him like visiting parents, maybe once a century.
Though the longing would be difficult to bear.
Tuoba Qiyue would rather suffer alone than let any harm co to Ye Yu.
“Curse? What curse?”
Hong Luan was taken aback, but then she quickly understood.
“Oh, you an the curse that was on you, right? That’s long gone!”
Hearing this, Tuoba Qiyue was shocked.
“What? Master, didn’t you once say the curse was unbreakable?”
Hong Luan waved her hand dismissively, “The curse was indeed unbreakable. Unless you surpassed the level of the one who cast it!
Now, your cultivation has surpassed that of the one who cursed you. Naturally, the curse has lifted.
Haven’t you noticed that since you reached the Tribulation Realm, your body feels lighter?”
Upon hearing this.
Tuoba Qiyue froze in realization.
It did seem that way.
When she first entered the early Tribulation Realm.
Her body had indeed felt much lighter.
Back then, she had assud it was just the result of a breakthrough.
She hadn’t given it much thought.
But now that Hong Luan pointed it out, it made sense.
Before.
Whenever Xie Muling got close to her, she would suffer minor misfortunes.
But after her recent retreat.
Xie Muling hadn’t been affected at all.
And that was around the sa ti Ye Yu joined the Five-Finger Peak.
No wonder he’d never experienced any ill effects from the curse afterward.
If that was the case, it was fantastic news.
Didn’t that an.
Tuoba Qiyue could stay close to Ye Yu without worrying about any harmful influence?
With this realization.
Tuoba Qiyue’s spirits lifted imnsely.
She imdiately bid Hong Luan farewell.
“Master, I have so things to take care of, so I’ll be heading back.
Oh, and Junior Brother and I are Dao Companions now.
When he returns, we’ll bring you wedding sweets!”
“Mm, alright.”
Hong Luan nodded absently at first.
Then, her expression suddenly shifted.
Hmm?
What?
They went out for one day and beca Dao Companions?
How did things progress so quickly?
What exactly happened?
Her mind buzzed with questions.
But before she could ask, Tuoba Qiyue had already vanished from sight.
Frustrated, she had no choice but to let it go.
Just then.
Lin Miaoxue began to stir.
When she opened her eyes and saw Hong Luan in front of her.
She felt a sense of familiarity but couldn’t quite place who this woman was.
Hong Luan smiled as she looked at Lin Miaoxue, who was slowly sitting up.
“Well, well, long ti no see, Lin Fengyuan. Who would have thought… you’re actually a woman!”
...
In the coastal waters of the Eastern Sea.
Su Yao held the Ocean Commanding Trident, panting heavily.
Not far away lay the corpse of the nine-headed serpent, Yang Qi.
Originally.
Su Yao had planned to return to the Eastern Sea to seek revenge after reaching the Ascension Realm.
But plans couldn’t keep up with changes.
Yang Qi had launched a massacre against the rfolk tribe.
Su Yao couldn’t bear to watch her kin being slaughtered.
So she was forced to act.
Though she had made ample preparations.
Su Yao still couldn’t defeat the nine-headed serpent, Yang Qi.
With no other choice, she had to wield the Ocean Commanding Trident.
Only then was she able to slay Yang Qi.
But she felt no joy in victory.
Because she had not yet fully integrated the Demon-Sealing Obsidian Sand with the Ocean Commanding Trident.
The weapon’s aura hadn’t been fully concealed.
Su Yao was deeply worried that using the trident might draw the attention of Yang Xiao, the other nine-headed serpent.
But what was done was done.
The only thing left was to increase her strength as quickly as possible to prepare for Yang Xiao’s eventual arrival.
Based on her mories from her dreams.
After killing Yang Qi, Yang Xiao would co searching for her several decades later.
If she calculated it this way.
She didn’t have much ti.
A few decades might be enough to advance a minor stage.
But attempting to go from the peak of the Harmonization Realm to the Ascension Realm was nearly impossible.
Just as Su Yao was troubled by this thought.
A terrifying spiritual energy surge was approaching rapidly.
