βThe Divine Birdβ¦β Xu Wei looked confused, unable to understand why the Divine Bird was currently fleeing like a stray dog.
βIt looks like itβs having a breakthrough,β Zi Long pondered out loud.
It was not that Zi Long wasnβt knowledgeable enough, it was simply that matters relating to World Principles and Principal Strength were beyond his realm of comprehension.
βLook over there!β Zi Dong suddenly shouted, as if he had discovered something astonishing and pointed in a certain direction. βItβs definitely that little bastard! Heβs not dead!β
A few thousand kilometres away, a dazzling light flickered and although it was too far away for Zi Dong to clearly see Yang Kaiβs face, he was certain it was him.
After all, at this time, who else could it be besides Yang Kai?
βItβs good he hasnβt died yet!β Zi Longβs eyes flashed, βIt seems the heavens are helping me.β
He was quite worried that Yang Kai would be killed by the Divine Bird and the Immortal Tree would be snatched back, but now that he saw Yang Kai was safe and sound, his mood lifted.
As long as the Immortal Tree was still in Yang Kaiβs hands, he still had a chance to obtain it!
Without hesitation, Zi Long wrapped Zi Dong in his Saint Qi and hurriedly chased after Yang Kaiβs trail.
Not far behind Zi Longβs trio, Ni Guang, Gui Zu and a few others also encountered the Divine Bird that was rushing back to its nest and had to deal with beams of Seven Coloured Radiant Light themselves.
βIf the Divine Bird is returning to its nestβ¦ then Yang Kaiβ¦β After Xue Yue managed to stabilize her footing, her face could not help turning white as she thought of a possibility that she couldnβt accept, her body trembling violently.
In the end, she was still a woman. Many years ago, on that Dead Star, her entire body had been touched by Yang Kai and although she had deeply hated him at the time, it was still the first time a man had ever touched her intimately, so his image was firmly ingrained in her heart. Later, when she was poisoned by the Profound Yin Sunflower Water and her life was hanging by a thread, it was Yang Kai who refined the pill that saved her life.
At that time, she had wanted to win over Yang Kai and keep him by her side, but he had rejected her, saddening and frustrating Xue Yue greatly.
So, over the years, Xue Yue had been brooding over Yang Kai⦠never once forgetting him.
However, she still had her pride and with her usual manner of conduct, it was simply impossible for her to approach Yang Kai like a normal woman or say the things she felt were shameful. As the next successor of Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, she needed to place the chamber of commerceβs prosperity above all else. As for her own happiness and desires, they were nothing but illusions, the moon reflecting in the water.
In the Emperor Garden, Xue Yue was extremely happy to meet Yang Kai for a second time and wanted to have a good talk with him, but when she saw Yang Kai acting so intimately with that enchantress Shan Qing Luo, she lost her temper.
Their reunion did not end well by any measure.
Xue Yue regretted what happened after that for a long time and blamed herself for being impulsive. She secretly made up her mind that, she would be sure to speak to Yang Kai clearly if she had another chance to see him.
But she also knew that the Star Field was incredibly vast, so it was almost impossible for two unrelated people to encounter each other over and over again.
What stunned her was that another reunion really came.
Outside the entrance to the Severed World, Xue Yue could not believe her eyes when he saw Yang Kai arrive.
She wasnβt a naΓ―ve little girl who believed in superstitions and had always baulked at the very idea of fate, but she began to believe in it slightly after seeing Yang Kai again.
In the Severed World, facing a life or death crisis, Xue Yue finally put aside everything and forced Yang Kai to take a stand using a reckless and shameless method which ultimately resulted in her achieving her wish.
As she said at the time, her request was not complicated, as long as there was a man in this world who would treat her as a woman, allowing her to experience all the joys of being a woman, she would be satisfied.
But now⦠that person might very well be dead!
Xue Yue could not accept it and felt as if she had been struck by lightning, standing dumbfounded in place, her pretty face pale and bloodless.
βYang Boy isnβt dead!β Gui Zu stared forward and said confidently, βZi Long is still pursuing someone, so he must have found Yang Boyβs trail. We need to chase after them as well, he wonβt be able to resist Zi Long if he gets caught!β
Hearing what he said, Xue Yueβs tender body shook, and she turned to look at Ni Guang and cried out, βUncle Ni!β
Ni Guang remained silent as his Saint Qi enveloped Xue Yue and he flew off together with Gui Zu.
After flying for a while, Ni Guang suddenly said, βThird Young Master, you can be friends with that boy Yang Kai, but donβt get too close. You should know what kind of mission you bear.β
He obviously saw the issue. Whether it was Xue Yueβs performance in the Severed World before or her current behaviour, Ni Guang was able to tell just how much weight Yang Kai held in Xue Yueβs heart.
Xue Yueβs face turned stiff when she heard this, but she soon nodded almost imperceptibly, βI know, Uncle Ni.β
But Gui Zu cut in at that moment with a burst of wicked laughter, βYoung love between a man and woman is only natural, what does it have to do with whatever mission she carries? Hahaha, the way you Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce people handle things is quite pitiable.β
Ni Guangβs face changed drastically as he turned his head to stare at Gui Zu in amazement.
βWhat are you staring at? This old master knows very well this little girl is a woman! I believe you also know,β Gui Zu coldly snorted. βTrying to act all mysterious.β
Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce daring to allow Ni Guang to take Xue Yue out alone for life experience in such a dangerous place was an obvious indicator of his trustworthiness. Moreover, Ni Guang had a Second-Order Origin King cultivation and was absolutely qualified to have access to the top secrets of the chamber of commerce.
As such, Gui Zu was not worried he had let any secrets slip.
In fact, just as Gui Zu expected, only a few throughout Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce knew that Xue Yue was a woman, and Ni Guang was among them.
Ni Guang and President Ai Ou were life and death friends that had known each other since they were young. Over the years, they both made great contributions to the development of Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, and it could be said that Ni Guang ranked second only to Ai Ou himself and the Supreme Elders who no longer concerned themselves with worldly affairs.
βHow did you learn about this?β Ni Guang was shocked and asked.
βWhatβs so hard to figure out?β Gui Zu sneered, βThis old master not only knows that sheβs a woman but also that her physique is unusual. Although I do not know which Special Constitution she possesses, itβs obviously the reason youβve all gone so far to hide her true gender. En, let this old master guess, a Special Constitution that requires one to conceal their gender, thereβs only the rumoured Wonderful Furnace Divine Body and Dragon Marrow Phoenix Body. Looking at this little girlβs appearance, she appears more valiant and heroic than seductive, so she should not be a Wonderful Furnace Divine Body. So, itβs the Dragon Marrow Phoenix Body then? Tskβ¦ this kind of physique is one not seen in ten thousand years.β
Ni Guang was really horrified this time as he glowered at Gui Zu. He had never expected that this old ghostβs eyes were so sharp, only needing a few clues to pinpoint Xue Yueβs Special Constitution.
Xue Yue was also shocked as she looked at Gui Zu in surprise.
She did not believe that Yang Kai told Gui Zu about this as he wasnβt someone with loose lips.
βYouβ¦β Ni Guang opened his mouth.
βRelax!β Gui Zu smiled and patted Ni Guangβs shoulder heartily, acting extremely friendly.
Ni Guang was a little wary at first, but soon realized that Gui Zu had no malicious intent, so he simply allowed him to pat his shoulder.
βThis old master wonβt do anything to this little girl, after all, she is my Sect Masterβs woman. Jie Jie Jie Jieβ¦ seems like we will all be one big family after this. En, but Sect Master is really blessed, all these two need to do is combine their yin and yang and his strength will increase greatly once more,β Gui Zu laughed wickedly.
βSenior!β Xue Yue was so ashamed her face flushed, and she glared at Gui Zu angrily, blaming him for being so unreserved and disrespectful.
Ni Guangβs head was muddled for a moment as he simply could not keep up with Gui Zuβs pace and instead turned to Xue Yue for answers.
Yet Xue Yue just lowered her head, not daring to say anything.
βHaaβ¦β Ni Guang sighed deeply, βYueβer, this matterβ¦ donβt let your father know about it or heβll definitely explode. Your Uncle Ni has neither a wife nor children, so you are like a daughter to me. This matterβ¦ Iβll find a chance to talk to your father and see what position he takes.β
βThank you, Uncle Ni!β Xue Yue bit her red lips lightly and whispered.
βDonβt thank me yet, you also know what your fatherβs temper is like. This will beβ¦ difficult,β Ni Guang sighed again before glaring at Gui Zu, βYou shameless old bastard, arenβt you embarrassed saying such things in front of a Junior?β
βHeh heh!β Gui Zu smiled weirdly and snorted indifferently.
βButβ¦β Ni Guang looked solemn towards Gui Zu, βYou just called that boy your Sect Master, so you two belong to the same Sect? What Sect is that? Why have I never heard of you before?β
Obviously, in Ni Guangβs opinion, a powerful cultivator like Gui Zu could not be unknown, nor could the Sect he belonged to.
But he had never met Gui Zu before, or even heard of him for that matter.
βThis old master and Yang Boy do indeed belong to the same Sect, butβ¦ it was in the Severed World that this old master decided to join. So, this old master hasnβt actually seen the Sect before.β
Ni Guang stared at Gui Zu in disbelief as he asked in amazement, βYou just decided to join? What does that boyβs Sect have that could attract a character like you?β
There must be something extraordinary about Yang Kaiβs Sect, otherwise, how could it have won over a Second-Order Origin King? Ni Guang was now very curious what exactly Yang Kaiβs Sect possessed that was of such interest to Gui Zu.
βHeh heh!β Gui Zu just grinned and held his tongue, acting mysterious.
[Hmph, if this old master told you there were three Origin King Grade Alchemists in the Sect, wouldnβt your heart stop? This isnβt something this old master will show off easily.]
βNever mind,β Ni Guang waved his hand with disinterest, βIf you do not want to explain, thatβs fine, but since you belong to it now, that boyβs Sect is certainly not to be looked down on. En, that boyβs aptitude and character are also commendable. It seems Yueβerβs vision isnβt bad. He might be a decent match for her.β
Xue Yue smiled sweetly hearing Ni Guang complimenting Yang Kai, seemingly happier than if that praise had been directed at her.
Ni Guang saw this and could not help sighing once more. Yueβer was normally so shrewd and sharp, so how could she suddenly act like an ordinary love-struck woman?
