Shrouding the Heavens: Starting with a divine furnace, persuade Yi Qingwu

Chapter 28 Your Fiancé is Coming Next Month [Please Read On]

"I'm going down the mountain first."

Her voice returned to its cool tone, but the last syllable still involuntarily softened.

"Find an opportunity to catch up."

Ye Feng walked over, put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her lips, then kissed her cheek, and finally kissed her forehead.

"I'll be right beside you."

His voice was tinged with laughter, and his tone was as certain as if he were talking about something that had already happened.

"Don't worry, no one will find out."

You'd better be careful.

Yi Qingwu glared at him coquettishly, pushed him away, and broke free from his embrace.

"If Master finds out, I won't be able to save you."

"I don't need your help."

Ye Feng smiled, took a step back, and made a "please" gesture.

"I can run by myself."

Yi Qingwu gave a soft hum, turned around and walked to the door, took a deep breath, and pushed the door open.

Outside the door, the sun is just right.

Su Xiaoxiao was already waiting in the courtyard.

The little girl wore a brand-new green feather dress, her hair was tied into two small buns, and she had a sweet smile on her round face with two deep dimples. She was extremely cute.

"Senior Sister!"

Seeing Yi Qingwu come out, Su Xiaoxiao ran over happily, like a cheerful little bird.

"Senior sister looks so beautiful today!"

Yi Qingwu smiled and reached out to gently pat Su Xiaoxiao's head.

"Even the little one is very pretty."

"hey-hey."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled shyly, then took Yi Qingwu's hand and skipped down the mountain.

"Senior Sister, the Holy Lord and the elders are all waiting for you! They said today is the last day, and they want to hear good news from you!"

"Um."

Yi Qingwu nodded and followed her junior sister with calm and firm steps.

Behind me, the mist over Jade Bee Pool flowed slowly, and the leaves of the laurel tree rustled in the breeze.

Ye Feng stood at the window, watching Yi Qingwu and Su Xiaoxiao's figures gradually disappear into the mist, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned up.

He reached out and summoned the Goddess Furnace, which flew off the table and landed in his palm.

A golden halo enveloped his entire body, completely concealing his aura.

Then, he leaped out of the window, transforming into a pale golden ray of light, and silently followed.

Yi Qingwu and Su Xiaoxiao quickly came down from Jade Peak Pool.

Then it flew towards its master's main temple.

The Nangong Nayue Palace sits atop a solitary small peak, surrounded by laurel trees with lush foliage whose silvery-white leaves shimmer softly in the sunlight.

The palace gate consists of two white jade doors, with the four characters "Guanghan Bieyuan" (光寒别院) carved on the lintel. The strokes are elegant yet dignified.

-

Yi Qingwu and Su Xiaoxiao landed on the main peak and soon arrived in front of their master's palace.

Su Xiaoxiao stopped at the door and gave a polite bow.

"Senior sister, Xiaoxiao is waiting for you outside."

"it is good."

Yi Qingwu nodded, took a deep breath, and raised her hand to knock on the door.

"Master, your disciple Qingwu requests an audience."

The hall was quiet for a moment, then Nangong Nayue's languid voice came through.

"Come in."

The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, carrying a unique charm of a mature woman, like a cup of warm floral tea, soothing and refreshing.

Yi Qingwu pushed the door open and entered, then casually closed it behind her.

The interior of the hall was small but exquisite, just as she remembered. Several paintings of the moon palace hung on the walls, their brushstrokes delicate and their artistic conception profound.

A daybed sits by the window, covered with a soft, snow-white mink fur rug. A faint scent of osmanthus blossoms burns from the incense burner, the wisps of smoke tracing subtle arcs in the air.

Nangong Nayue was sitting in front of her dressing table.

She had clearly just taken a bath; her long hair was still half-wet, draped over her shoulders, with water droplets still dripping from the ends. A moon-white, sheer long dress draped loosely over her body, the neckline slightly open, revealing a section of her fair collarbone and rounded shoulders.

She held a jade comb in her hand, combing her long, flowing hair slowly and gracefully in front of the mirror. Her movements were slow and elegant, like a moving painting.

Her face was reflected in the mirror. She was around thirty years old, with delicate but unassuming features, and a languid and composed air that a young girl lacked.

Her eyes are slightly upturned, and even when she's not smiling, she looks like she's smiling, giving people an inexplicable sense of closeness.

However, the aura emanating from her was the genuine pressure of a Sendai Realm expert.

Standing at the door, Yi Qingwu looked at her master's back and couldn't help but feel a sense of inferiority.

Over the past year, she herself has changed a lot. She has transformed from a girl into a woman, her temperament has changed from aloof to charming, and she has matured considerably.

But compared to a mature woman like her master, she still falls short.

That kind of charm, which comes from within and is refined over the years, cannot be acquired overnight.

"Master."

Yi Qingwu walked to the dressing table and bowed slightly.

"This disciple has lived up to his mission and has broken through to the Four Perfections."

Nangong Nayue paused for a moment while holding the comb.

Then she put down the comb and turned around.

Those languid eyes were now brimming with genuine joy and satisfaction.

She looked Yi Qingwu up and down, her gaze moving from her face to her shoulders, from her shoulders to her waist, and from her waist to her feet, as if trying to confirm something.

"it is good."

Nangong Nayue nodded, unable to suppress the smile on her face.

"Very good. Qingwu, well done."

She stood up, walked up to Yi Qingwu, and gently patted her shoulder.

"As expected, I was right about you. There are very few people in the Ziwei Star Region who have reached the Four Extremes Perfection at the age of twenty."

Her voice carried a deep sense of pride.

These are her students.

Her disciples were trained by her own hands.

"It's all thanks to Master."

Yi Qingwu lowered her head slightly, her voice carrying just the right amount of humility.

"Without the ten million source stones that Master secured and the blessing of the Jade Bee Pool, it would have been difficult for me to break through in such a short time."

She was actually feeling uneasy when she said that.

Because she knew that the real hero behind her rapid breakthrough was that bastard who was hiding somewhere at that moment.

But she couldn't say that.

I can never tell you this in my lifetime.

"I only provide resources; ultimately, it depends on your own destiny."

Nangong Nayue shook her head, reached out and stroked Yi Qingwu's face, gently rubbing her cheek with her thumb.

The gesture was gentle, carrying the love and doting affection of an elder for a younger person.

"You were able to go from the initial stage of the Four Extremes to the complete stage within a year, all thanks to your own efforts. Your master wouldn't take credit for it."

Yi Qingwu didn't say anything more, she just nodded slightly.

Nangong Nayue withdrew her hand, turned around and walked back to the dressing table, picked up the jade comb again, and continued to comb her long hair.

"Perfect."

Her voice regained its languid tone, but there was a hint of solemnity in it.

"You've broken through to the Four Extremes Perfection. Next month, your fiancé, Yin Tiande, will come to the Guanghan Palace to visit you. You can give him a big surprise then."
