Chapter 142: Wandering Soul in Yao Chi

Ah, finally over — the power I borrowed from my brother-in-law is really heavy!

Although it was only a moment, mobilizing the Human Emperor's fortune still let Ao Yifan understand the burden the Human Emperor bears.

That is the foundation of ruling the human realm and standing firm in the Three Realms.

Indeed, I'm afraid I can't bear this burden; I should hand it over to Jiao'er!

Ao Yifan slightly shook his head, dispersing the gathered fortune purple mist within his body.

But just as Ao Yifan was preparing to return to the ground, suddenly an invisible force began to tug at his soul consciousness.

How could this happen?

Ao Yifan never expected that he would be ambushed at this moment.

Who exactly could directly attack my soul?

Ao Yifan's heart jolted; he couldn't understand how, despite being so careful, his first move had already been calculated against him.

Moreover, he couldn't fathom what method the opponent used to strike him without a sound.

Huh? That direction is Yao Chi?

At the same time, Nüwa the Saint, who was peeking through the crack of the door, also noticed Ao Yifan's situation.

After hesitating, she ultimately did not act.

For she, too, was curious how Yao Chi would deal with this scoundrel.

……

Finally, I've caught you!

At the same moment, within Yao Chi, the Golden Mother of Yao Chi held the Gather Immortal Banner, and a faint soul aura appeared at her brow.

If Ao Yifan were here, he would surely recognize that this soul aura belongs to him.

After all this time, do you think I've been unable to deal with you?

A cold glint appeared on the Golden Mother of Yao Chi's face.

Although I cannot directly find your person, having stolen a fragment of your soul aura from that girl Long Ji, I can use the Gather Immortal Banner to forcibly summon you.

However, the Golden Mother of Yao Chi was also greatly relieved, for this time she owed it to the August Jade Emperor, whose intervention forcibly opened the link to the human realm; otherwise, even using the Gather Immortal Banner would not have succeeded so smoothly.

His soul drifted aimlessly, not knowing how long had passed, when Ao Yifan arrived at a field of immortal mirrors.

What place is this?

Gazing at the splendid scenery all around, Ao Yifan couldn't help but frown.

The next moment, flower petals rained down from the sky, and several figures of peerless beauty slowly drifted down.

How beautiful!

Ao Yifan had seen many beauties before, yet upon seeing the leading peerless woman, he couldn't help but stare.

For her aura of motherly majesty over the world was something he had scarcely seen in his life.

Having seen the Golden Mother, why do you not kneel?

Suddenly, a voice came from a woman dressed in red.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!

Silently counting in his heart, Ao Yifan seemed to guess the woman's identity.

Is this, bringing me to Yao Chi?

His heart stirred, and Ao Yifan immediately bowed to the peerless woman.

Son-in-law Ao Yifan pays respects to Mother-in-law!

Her eyebrows twitched slightly; the Golden Mother of Yao Chi was also somewhat surprised, not expecting him to admit it so frankly.

Your surname is Ao; are you of the dragon clan?

The Golden Mother of Yao Chi furrowed her brows and looked at Ao Yifan, asking.

Hehe, Mother-in-law, surnames are myriad; bearing the name Ao doesn't necessarily mean one is of the dragon clan.

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

Don't think you can deceive the palace!

The Golden Mother of Yao Chi said coldly: "The Gather Immortal Banner in my hand can command all immortals; with even a trace of your soul aura in my grasp, I can clearly sense the dragon clan aura within your soul."

Hehe, indeed, nothing can be hidden from Mother-in-law; very well, son-in-law is indeed of the dragon clan!

Having his lie exposed, Ao Yifan openly admitted it.

You……

The Golden Mother of Yao Chi never expected there to be such a shameless person in this world, leaving her momentarily speechless.

Mother-in-law, may I ask why you have summoned your son-in-law today?

Ao Yifan asked again.

Don't call me Mother-in-law; I have no such mother-in-law — rather, you are the son-in-law!

Being called 'Mother-in-law' on the left and right by Ao Yifan made her somewhat annoyed, and her speech became a bit clumsy.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yifan's expression changed as he said, 'Mother-in-law, are you perhaps planning to separate me from Long Ji? She is currently carrying my child; do you really want to see your unborn grandchild born without a father?'

Are you threatening the palace?

The Golden Mother of Yao Chi's face darkened.

At the same time, the Seven Fairy Maidens surrounding her were secretly mobilizing their immortal power, ready to act at any moment.

Mother-in-law, please reconsider; after all, you wouldn't want your secret spread throughout the Three Realms, you……

Saying this, Ao Yifan sent a mental transmission to the Golden Mother of Yao Chi.

At the same moment, the Golden Mother of Yao Chi's face changed drastically, the Gather Immortal Banner atop her head crackling, as if she were about to strike Ao Yifan any second.

Mother-in-law, using force against your son-in-law would be useless; after all, I have sealed those matters of yours within my true body, and if my soul encounters trouble, your affairs will be proclaimed throughout the Three Realms!

Ao Yifan said indifferently.

"You..."

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool's eyes were full of doubt; she wasn't sure whether what Ao Yifan said was true.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan didn't waste any words.

Two golden beams shot from his eyes, and immediately the Jade Pool's immortal energy surged, showing scene after scene before everyone.

Watching the scenes unfold, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool and the Seven Fairy Maidens blushed slightly.

They never imagined that such matters would be known to all outsiders, and even turned into images.

"Quick, put them away!"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool was somewhat flustered, speaking urgently, but she had lost all her former dignity.

"How about it, Mother-in-law? Do you believe my words now, Son-in-law?"

Ao Yifan said with a smile.

"You, go!"

Although unwilling, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool still decided to let Ao Yifan leave, after all, she dared not gamble.

There's no way; if these images really spread throughout the Three Realms, her reputation would be ruined.

As the Chief of the Female Immortals, if other female immortals learned of this, who would dare come serve at the Jade Pool?

"Leave?"

Ao Yifan descended slowly, shaking his head: "Son-in-law, I actually don't want to leave now."

"What do you want?"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool frowned, never expecting Ao Yifan to push his luck.

"Mother-in-law, you just frightened the Son-in-law; he needs some compensation."

Ao Yifan said.

"Compensation? Do you want my Jade Pool Peaches?"

The Golden Mother of the Jade Pool asked.

What the Jade Pool is most famous for are precisely these Jade Pool Peaches; thus, the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool instinctively felt that Ao Yifan coveted the peaches.

"Peaches? I'm not some monkey; what do I want with peaches!"

Ao Yifan shook his head.

Saying this, Ao Yifan's gaze fell upon the Seven Fairy Maidens beside the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool.

"Mother-in-law, could you introduce me to these seven sisters?"
