Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

There's no need for that now; he has many other things to do.

As he spoke, Lin Yu nodded to Feng Qi.

"Come on, let's go somewhere."

"Where are you going?"

Feng Qi looked bewildered, not knowing what Lin Yu was up to.

"Just follow me."

Watching the two leave, Tu Shan Ya Ya came to Tu Shan Hong Hong's side and whispered.

"Sis, Lin Yu and Feng Qi went on a date. Aren't you going with them?"

Tu Shan Honghong reached out and patted Tu Shan Ya Ya's head, saying with a smile, "What's the point of going along?"

"Even if it's a date, it's not a big deal. Besides, they're not going on a date this time."

"Hey, how did you know?"

Tu Shan Ya Ya looked puzzled, while Tu Shan Rong Rong leaned over and said with a grin.

"Sister Ya Ya is so silly. Brother Lin Yu encountered the Eastern Spirit Clan's matter as soon as he came out of seclusion, and he just finished dealing with it. Where do you think she could take Feng Qi?"

"Of course, it's a date."

Tu Shan Hong Hong rolled her eyes at this silly girl, "Of course, we're going to solve Feng Qi's problem."

Lin Yu and Feng Qi walked towards the Bitter Love Tree, and took the opportunity to contact Dongfang Huaizhu and the others using the Thousand Mile Chase Talisman.

For safety reasons, almost every one of them carried one.

"The matter has been resolved. The murderer who attacked you has been executed, and I have also eliminated the Eastern Spirit Clan behind it."

Just as the Thousand-Mile Chase Talisman was being activated, Lin Yu delivered such explosive news.

This caused Dongfang Bu, who had just been rescued by Cuiyu Mingluan and Cuiyu Xiaotan, to open his eyes wide in anger, spit out a mouthful of blood, and die on the spot.

Upon hearing that the Eastern Spirit Clan had been dealt with, Dongfang Guyue, disregarding the resentful gazes of Cuiyu Mingluan and her master beside him, quickly said...

"Are they the Eastern Spirit Clan who live on the island?"

"Yes, but I didn't kill them all. I left about a hundred as craftsmen, specifically for refining magical artifacts, and also to provide them with pure Yang Flame."

"If the old master is interested, after this trip to the Southern Kingdom, you can go to the Wu Dynasty to take charge of their management."

Upon hearing that some people were still remaining, Dongfang Guyue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that he had neither the standing nor the ability to plead for the people of the Eastern Spirit Clan in this matter.

After all, this was not just a trivial matter concerning him, but also a matter of face for Lin Yu, the newly enthroned king.

However, as a member of the Eastern Spirit Clan, they certainly did not want their clan to be wiped out, even though things had been very unpleasant back then.

In his view, it would be the best possible thing if he could still have about a hundred people left.

It's better than having none left.

The only pity is that Dongfang Bu left a little too early. If he hadn't been in such a hurry and had heard what was to come, he probably wouldn't have died.

"King Wu is merciful; this old man conveys their gratitude on their behalf."

After dispelling the Thousand-Mile Pursuit Talisman that had just been used to establish contact, Feng Qi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"This old man from the East was almost scared to death when he heard you say you had dealt with the Eastern Spirit Clan."

"It's just that I feel a little sorry for him. To be honest, he doesn't seem to have much affection for the Eastern Spirit Clan. He's been gone for decades."

Lin Yu shrugged and said casually.

"Then what are we going to do now?"

Feng Qi crossed her arms and spoke listlessly.

"Go to the foot of the Bitter Love Tree."

Upon hearing this, Feng Qi's expression froze.

"Go to the foot of the Bitter Love Tree, go there."

"There are some things I want to verify."

Speaking of the Bitter Love Tree, Feng Qi naturally knew why; there couldn't be anything else besides his own problems.

"Well, I see."

Feng Qi nodded and spoke honestly.

It wasn't because it concerned her personally, but because she knew exactly how much effort Lin Yu had put into addressing her problems.

Even if it's just for him, she will cooperate fully.

The two continued on their way and arrived at the Bitter Love Tree, without anyone stopping them along the way.

It's clear that Tu Shan Hong Hong had already given prior notice.

Looking at the familiar surroundings before her, Feng Qi's eyes were filled with emotion.

Returning here again, everything has changed.

"Open the barrier."

Lin Yu gestured to Feng Qi and said.

"Do I really have to do this myself?"

Fengqi muttered softly.

“I cultivate in a different system than you, so it’s no problem for me to break through all the restrictions along the way.”

Lin Yu said with amusement, urging Feng Qi to hurry up.

Although it has been many years since she last returned, Fengqi has never forgotten everything about this place.

The passage under the tree reopened, and the two walked down side by side.

"I really miss this place. The last time I came here, Honghong and the others were still little kids."

Fengqi reached out and gently stroked the wall of the passageway, speaking in a nostalgic tone.

"You haven't changed, have you?"

Lin Yu smiled and said to Feng Qi.

"Hmph, that's for sure. If it were you, you'd probably be an old man by now."

"Old man? You're dreaming. I've already told you that my lifespan is almost the same as that of a demon."

Lin Yu laughed and cursed, reaching out to grab Feng Qi.

Feng Qi cried out in surprise and ran ahead with a playful laugh.

In this dark passage that seemed to lead to hell, the two people's laughter added a touch of warmth to the atmosphere.

The two walked downwards for a while and finally arrived at the deepest part that Tu Shan Honghong had brought him to last time.

"This is it."

"And then what do I need to do to cooperate with you?"

Feng Qi looked around, her face practically screaming with curiosity.

"Sit down and close your eyes, leave the rest to me."

Fengqi nodded, obediently sat down, and closed her eyes.

Lin Yu sat down in front of her and closed his eyes as well.

No one spoke, and the room fell into darkness and silence.

But soon, all of that changed.

Suddenly, golden light burst forth.

A perfectly round golden pill slowly flew out from Lin Yu's chest and landed between the two of them.

If Feng Qi hadn't closed her eyes yet, upon seeing this scene, she would probably be shouting and asking Lin Yu how he had even cultivated a demon core.

The golden core didn't linger in mid-air for long before flying towards Feng Qi, this time stopping between her eyebrows.

With her eyes closed, Feng Qi felt another wave of warmth wash over her, dispelling the surrounding chill.

Then, immediately afterward, it was as if a small sun had appeared in her mind.

This warmth was like a gentle, large hand, guiding her consciousness little by little away from her body.

Feng Qi was filled with wonder as she experienced everything she had never felt before.

Immediately afterwards, enveloped by this warm power, Feng Qi suddenly felt as if she had plunged into some boundless abyss.

'Where is this? '

Feng Qi was puzzled.

But at that moment, an inexplicable force seemed to be calling to her, beckoning her.

Feeling the warmth around her, Fengqi headed towards the direction of the call.
