Chapter 346 Parting
Outside the secret realm, in Wolong Valley, a young man dressed in white sat atop a mountain. With no outsiders around, he no longer needed to pretend, and his face was so gloomy it could drip water.
As night fell and the stars twinkled in the sky, a beam of starlight pierced through the obstacles and landed beside the boy.
As the starlight faded, a somewhat eerie mechanical voice rang in You Li's ears: "You failed? She even stole the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear? What an idiot! Why did the gods choose you and not Lin Zhao in the first place?"
Youli pursed his thin lips, remaining silent.
The voice cursed, still not satisfied, and complained, "What kind of unparalleled genius of the Ancient Dragon Clan plans to play dumb to help us take down the Ancient Dragon Clan? I'm afraid you've been playing dumb for so long that you've really become a pig in front of Lin Zhao. Don't tell us that you didn't make Lin Zhao fall for you, but you yourself developed romantic feelings for Lin Zhao, didn't you?"
Youli scoffed, "Only a woman like that would have such thoughts. Why would I?"
"That proves that Lin Zhao is completely out of control. Even if we forcibly place the Tian Shu star orbit on her, the energy of the Tian Shu star cannot affect her mind because of the power of the two ancestral gods on her body."
Hearing this, Youli asked with a half-smile, "How can you be so sure that it is the power of the two ancestral gods that is protecting Lin Zhao from your influence, rather than the fact that Lin Zhao's mind has never been affected by you at all?"
The starlight flickered: "Your luck was even stronger than Lin Zhao's before. That's why the gods chose you to cooperate. You were able to turn out like this. Don't even mention a woman."
These words resonated deeply with Youli: "Yes, I'm already like this, how could she be unaffected? If it weren't for the protection of the Ancestral Phoenix, she would probably already be your parasite."
Youli reached out and crushed the starlight: "I will continue to do what I should do, but you should also keep your claws out of sight. It wouldn't be good if Lin Zhao found out. You should know that she now has the ability to truly annihilate you."
……
Lin Zhao spent another two months refining pills in the secret realm. After calculating that about a day had passed outside, he distributed the pills to Jin Ya and Ming Gui, explaining to them how to use them in the Demon Realm. He paused for a moment and said, "Ming Gui, you still have one Heavenly Heart Dragon-Creating Pill left. This is a Grade 7 pill that is very close to Grade 8. I don't have all the materials on hand right now, and I'm not sure if I can refine it. So I need some time. Once I refine this pill, you can take it and then break through to the Nascent Soul stage. You can then truly transform from a Flood Dragon into a True Dragon, with your foundation and bloodline rising simultaneously."
Minggui's eyes lit up, and Lin Zhao's words made his breathing quicken: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Zhao was somewhat tired from refining pills, and upon hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "Take good care of Jin Ya. If anything happens, just call me with a sound transmission talisman."
Jin Ya protested, "Hey, hey, hey, what do I need to be taken care of? I can manage perfectly well on my own, can't I?"
Lin Zhao rubbed his temples: "Let's talk about it after I take you to the Demon Realm."
During this period, catch as many dragon-like spirit beasts as you can to nourish Jin Ya's body.
As she left the secret realm, she saw Youli hanging on a branch not far away and said, "When did you start liking to be a fruit? Hanging on the tree, all white and shiny, it's obviously not ripe yet."
Youli turned around, looking down at her against the light. The sunlight bypassed him and fell on the girl under the tree.
As the wind swept through the valley, the light and shadow of this world became mere backdrops to the girl in that instant he looked over.
Youli could feel something bursting forth from the depths of his heart, something uncontrollable, something he loathed and wanted to avoid, yet also something he took for granted.
He pressed his hand to his chest, about to say something, when he heard the other person impatiently urging him on.
"Are you still alive? If you are, come down. I have something to discuss with you."
Youli closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with cold indifference. He thought that the dizziness and blurred vision he had just experienced must have flared up again as a result of his severe injury to his soul.
Seeing Youli gracefully float down from the tree, Lin Zhao gave him a thumbs up.
As expected of you, Youli, you even have to put on an act after getting off the tree.
She took out the Crimson Dragon Nascent Soul from the jade box she had previously taken out: "I'll take the Crimson Dragon Nascent Soul, but you can keep the Ancestral Dragon's remnant soul."
You Li reached out and pinched the Crimson Dragon Nascent Soul. After sensing that the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon was indeed still inside, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Lin Zhao with a smile, "Aren't you worried that I'll bring the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon back to the Seven Star Palace?"
Lin Zhao shrugged: "You said that I am the Lord of Tian Shu Star, and sooner or later I will go to the Seven Star Palace."
Youli lowered his eyelashes slightly: "Once you get the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear, remember to come to the Ancient Dragon Clan. I've sent this message back to the clan, and my elders and brothers are very eager to see you."
He deliberately spoke in an ambiguous manner.
Lin Zhao was used to feeling disgusted with herself when You couldn't bear to leave her. She nodded expressionlessly, "I will go. After all, I can't just get the ancient dragon clan's inheritance for nothing."
Seeing that Lin Zhao had gotten used to his disgust and could still calmly retaliate, You Li absorbed the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon in the Crimson Dragon Nascent Soul, smiled, sealed the Crimson Dragon Nascent Soul, and returned it to Lin Zhao: "My time to descend to the mortal realm is coming soon, about seven days. You helped me retrieve a remnant soul, so I'll help you hunt down a few dragon-type spirit beasts."
Lin Zhao was indifferent; she already knew most of what she wanted to find out, and the rest was just that Youli wouldn't tell her even if she wanted to know more.
Their subsequent cooperation was relatively harmonious, and Youli's direction was clear, at least he didn't find any more formidable opponents for Lin Zhao.
Of course, a large part of the reason is that Lin Zhao's own strength has improved. Even though You Li was slacking off, she still managed to snatch tails and claws from various dragon-type spirit beasts for Jin Ya.
"You gave pretty even directions," Lin Zhao said, checking his inventory and praising You Li.
Youli smiled: "Isn't this for the balance of Wolong Valley? Taking one will reduce its combat power and make it a target of everyone. We might as well take all the ones of the same level as it, and then we won't have to worry about them fighting amongst themselves."
Lin Zhao thought to herself, "As expected of you."
After the two divided the spoils, Lin Zhao watched You Li's figure disappear before her eyes. A question lingered in her mind, and she couldn't help but ask, "Is this how Qu Shu left the mortal realm too?"
Youli was surprised that she would ask her this question. She thought about it seriously for a while and said, "He is his true body descended to the mortal world, while I am just a divine soul incarnation, so we are different."
Lin Zhao responded with an "oh," and remarked, "People from the Upper Realm, so sophisticated."
Youli: "...Strictly speaking, he is a celestial phoenix, and I am an ancient dragon. Neither of us are human."
Lin Zhao laughed heartily: "Goodbye."
Perhaps it was finally time to say goodbye to this place that had repeatedly caused him setbacks, for Youli had a rare genuine smile: "Goodbye, Lin Zhao."
