Chapter 78 Yuan Yao's Misunderstanding (Seeking monthly tickets and recommendation votes)

Li Shizhou rode his level-six Purple-Eyed Bixie all the way to the city gate before dismounting.

He was about to knock on the door when he heard the sound of chains sliding, and a moment later, the wooden door was slammed to the ground with a bang.

A woman in black was already standing at the entrance, and three other people were walking towards the city gate not far behind her.

Li Shizhou looked closely and saw that the woman in black at the door was none other than his fellow disciple, Yuan Yao. There seemed to be a slight glint of tears in her eyes.

Just as he was about to greet her, Yuan Yao walked over and took his arm, saying, "Husband, you've finally found this place."

Li Shizhou was momentarily confused upon hearing this, and before he could think about it carefully, the three people had already approached.

The leader was a kind-looking, sallow-faced old man who greeted them with a smile: "I am Lu Qingxuan, the elder of this village. May I ask if you are Fellow Daoist Li Shizhou?"

"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know me?" Li Shizhou looked at the yellow-faced old man with a suspicious expression.

"This is also the first time I've met you, but your name is now widely known in this Netherworld."

After listening, Li Shizhou understood. This Yinming Land was not large, and there must be exchanges between the villages.

It seems that the other villages already know about his cooperation with the previous village, which is good, as it saves him the time of negotiating with each one individually.

So he said, "Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist Lu must already know what I want, right?"

The old man with the yellow face replied, "I know perfectly well that you want the Yinming Beast Crystal and the storage bag. There's no rush. The village elders and I have been looking forward to your arrival. Please come with me to the council hall so we can give you a proper welcome."

"Let's skip the welcome dinner. I'm a bit tired. Could you let me rest for a bit first, and then I'll help you kill the Yin Beast tomorrow?"

Li Shizhou directly refused, because of the three people who came, only the yellow-faced old man was wearing a cultivator's robe. The other two were probably ordinary people. The village was somewhat similar to the one Han Laomo visited for the first time, and the relationships there must be complicated.

He only wanted to loot the items and leave, not to get involved in the power struggle between the cultivators and mortals here.

The old man with the yellow face was not surprised by what he heard, and still maintained his smile: "I learned a few days ago that Fellow Daoist Yuan Yao is your Daoist partner, and I have already arranged accommodations for her. Come, let me go with you."

After hearing this, Li Shizhou immediately understood why Yuan Yao had called him "husband" earlier.

Given her looks, it's clear she's not having an easy time now that she's ended up here.

Since they were all from the same sect, Li Shizhou said cooperatively, "I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Lu for taking care of my Daoist partner recently. I will do my best to kill the Yin Beast."

The old man with the yellow face smiled even more after hearing this. Without even introducing the two people who came with him, he personally led the way.

Just like in the previous village, many people came to watch along the way.

Another daring child reached out to touch the purple eye, but was so frightened by a low growl that he backed away and fell to the ground, bursting into tears.

Those who had previously coveted Yuan Yao immediately abandoned their wicked intentions upon seeing the tiger-shaped demonic beast beside Li Shizhou, and some even worried about being targeted.

The layout of this village is similar to the previous one, with a tall stone platform in the middle as well.

The yellow-faced old man arranged for Yuan Yao to stay near the stone platform.

Upon arrival, the elderly man with a sallow complexion cupped his hands and said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so I won't disturb your reunion any longer."

After saying that, he took his leave with the other two.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao blushed slightly and followed Li Shizhou into the house.

Once inside, Yuan Yao's hands, which were still wrapped around his forearm, seemed unwilling to let go.

Li Shizhou joked, "Junior Sister Yuan Yao, there's no one else here now, so you don't need to act anymore. If you don't let go, aren't you afraid that your senior brother will take the act seriously?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao did not let go. Instead, she looked at Li Shizhou with a shy expression and glanced at him a few times before leaning close to him and resting her head on his shoulder.

She stammered and whispered, "Ever since the day the ghostly mist appeared, and I saw you risk your life to save me, Yuan Yao... Yuan Yao has already entrusted herself to you."

When Li Shizhou saw Yuan Yao at the city gate, he felt that there was something wrong with her eyes.

There's always a sense of ambiguity about it.

He finally understood that Yuan Yao had mistakenly believed that Li Shizhou had entered the Ghost Mist to rescue her.

A huge misunderstanding arose due to a series of unforeseen events.

Actually, he was not entirely unmoved by Yuan Yao.

Appearance wasn't the main reason; the main reason was that when I went on patrol with this woman, a piece of information would frequently appear.

[An: My fellow disciple Yuan Yao, who is in the Core Formation stage, still possesses primordial yin energy and has a Heavenly Yin body. Cultivating with her will greatly benefit my future cultivation.]

The dual cultivation technique attached to his body-refining cultivation method is most suitable for female cultivators with the "Heavenly Yin Body".

With Zhuo Ruting now in the Void Heaven Palace, Li Shizhou had previously considered Yuan Yao.

At that time, he was busy cultivating to the late stage of Core Formation so that he could retrieve treasures from the ancient sect's treasury.

In addition, Yuan Yao had other suitors at the time, and Li Shizhou did not want to interfere, so he did not pursue her.

He thought to himself, "I guess I'll just have to make the best of it. Looks like I'll have to bring one more person with me."

Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Sister Yuan Yao, Fellow Daoist Li, may I come in?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Yao quickly straightened up, tidied her clothes, responded, and opened the door.

A woman wearing a wooden hairpin walked in carrying a plate with some food on it.

She glanced at Li Shizhou and said, "This is Fellow Daoist Li, who has recently become famous in this Netherworld. He and Sister Yuan Yao are quite a good match. I brought you some food."

Yuan Yao quickly introduced the woman who had entered to Li Shizhou: "Husband, this is Sister Su Wanhe from Luoyun Sect. She is skilled in healing. Although she is not an elder here, she is highly respected. Yuan Yao was able to settle down in the village thanks to her at the beginning."

"The Luoyun Sect, is that the Luoyun Sect from the Yunmeng Mountains in Tiannanxi Kingdom?" Li Shizhou asked curiously after hearing this, since this sect was very famous in the original book.

"Fellow Daoist Li, aren't you a cultivator from the Chaotic Star Sea? You've actually heard of my Falling Cloud Sect." This time, it was Su Wanhe's turn to be surprised.

"I have searched for information about the three divine trees. Doesn't your Yunmeng Mountain have one of the three divine trees, the Spirit Eye Tree? That's why I know about the Luoyun Sect."

Li Shizhou made up an excuse, after all, he couldn't very well say that he saw it in a book.

"I see. I'll put my things down and leave."

Just then, the opportunity information was updated.
