Chapter 1732: Yo, how did you guys come back?

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, Luo Jiuyou felt the whole world instantly become beautiful, and the resentment in her heart vanished completely.

Even the Lock Heaven Grand Formation surrounding them looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Could this be the so-called 'when the mountains run out and the rivers end, doubt there's a way; willows dark, flowers bright, another village appears'?

Trapped in the Formation, yet we can still encounter such good fortune—order whatever dishes we like and eat as we please?

"Brother Zhangqing, is this privilege of ordering dishes always available, or just this once?"

Luo Jiuyou swallowed, suppressing her excitement as she asked, "The difference between a single full meal and being full every day is worlds apart—I need to be clear."

Now not only Luo Jiuyou, but even the usually calm and quiet Hei Lin was rare to see with a fiery, excited gaze fixed on Ye Zhangqing.

Although he didn't speak, his gaze already said everything.

Facing the two's gazes, Ye Zhangqing smiled and said.

"There are just the three of us here, so of course it's every meal."

Preparing meals for three isn't troublesome, and it also passes the time—hearing this, Luo Jiuyou's eyes turned red, glowing with a red light.

Being able to order dishes every meal, at this moment Luo Jiuyou only felt that the Lock Heaven Grand Formation was great—if possible, he truly wished to be locked in it for a few hundred years.

Rubbing his hands, wearing a lecherous grin, he laughed with a cleft mouth.

"Hehe, since Brother Zhangqing said that, I won't stand on ceremony."

"No need to be polite—just say what you want to eat."

"Hehe, then I'll have at it."

Luo Jiuyou's expression at this moment was exactly like the Eternal Night Old Ancestor's; in fact, Ye Zhangqing often felt that the Eternal Night Old Ancestor and the Nether Clan Old Ancestor might have been mixed up.

Actually, Luo Jiuyou is more suited to be the Yongye heir; his personality, even that lecherous expression, seems carved from the same mold as the Eternal Night Old Ancestor.

On the contrary, Hei Lin resembles the Nether Clan Old Ancestor—both are men of few words, rarely smiling, giving off a stern impression.

Luo Jiuyou, far from being shy, quickly ordered several dishes and then boldly said.

"I still have plenty of good wine here; the three of us will drink until we're drunk and won't return home."

"Good."

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Ye Zhangqing didn't take long to prepare the three's meal; soon it was done. Inside the Lock Heaven Grand Formation, the three ate Ye Zhangqing's cooking, drank fine wine, and for a moment felt extremely happy.

At this point, the gloom of being trapped in the Formation had vanished without a trace.

With full bellies and cups, the three launched into idle chatter from all corners of the world—even the usually taciturn Hei Lin couldn't help but join in.

In short, having such delicious meals every day left Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin utterly satisfied.

In their leisure, Luo Jiuyou and Hei Lin also set aside time for cultivation.

Don't let Luo Jiuyou's appearance fool you—he still values cultivation greatly, after all, as the Nether Clan's young master, his responsibilities are not light.

Luo Jiuyou himself is well aware of this.

As for Ye Zhangqing, regarding cultivation he basically goes with the flow.

Within the Ascension Path, their sense of time is also vague; they don't pay attention to these things, and each day feels like closed-door cultivation.

It's just far more enjoyable than closed-door cultivation, with good wine and food every day, plus good companions by their side.

Such closed-door cultivation, Luo Jiuyou said he could endure a hundred years without even furrowing his brow.

No one knew how long they'd been trapped in the Formation, but that day, after finishing their meal and wine, as they chatted, Ye Zhangqing suddenly saw two disheveled figures hurrying from the distance on the Ascension Path.

Because the Lock Heaven Grand Formation blocked them, Ye Zhangqing and his companions couldn't sense any outside aura.

They could only vaguely see two silhouettes, and this was thanks to the Great Emperor Realm, whose vision far surpasses that of ordinary people.

"This is.................."

"Hey hey, it's those two damned things."

At first they didn't recognize the identities of the two figures, but as the figures drew nearer, Luo Jiuyou cracked a grin.

Isn't this exactly the pair who trapped us here—the culprits, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing?

At this moment, the two rushed straight toward the Formation, their bodies already stained red with blood, even having dry coughed.

They looked utterly miserable; even without sensing their aura, Ye Zhangqing and his companions could tell Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing were likely badly injured.

Moreover, both of their eyes were filled with deep fear, as if they had encountered some great terror.

As the two drew nearer to the Lock Heaven Grand Formation, Luo Jiuyou also grew interested, standing within the Formation holding a wine pot, he laughed with a cleft mouth.

"Yo, who is this? Isn't this the Divine Clan's Goddess Qing Shen Ji and the Heavenly Clan's Young Master Tian Xing? What happened to you?"

The mocking tone in his words was utterly undisguised; hearing it, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing both gave Luo Jiuyou a cold, icy stare.

But what was Luo Jiuyou? He paid no mind to such a deadly glare; his smile grew even more brilliant, wearing a look that begged for a beating.

"You two weren't supposed to be exploring the Ascension Path? How did you come back so quickly? Could it be you ran into some danger?"

"Do you need Brother Luo to lend a hand? If so, speak up loudly—I'm not the type to stand by and watch someone die."

Listening to Luo Jiuyou's mockery, Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, whose faces were already grim, now turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

This damned thing is getting more and more despicable, but right now the two of them simply have no time to waste arguing with it.

Recalling what happened after they entered the Ascension Path earlier, the two still harbored lingering fear, their hearts filled with dread.

So, they completely ignored Luo Jiuyou's meaning, bypassed the Formation, and charged straight toward the entrance.

It was obvious they intended to flee the Ascension Path; seeing this, Luo Jiuyou's face darkened.

"These two damned things are trying to run."

He shouted at Ye Zhangqing and Hei Lin, then immediately bellowed.

"You two damned things, you're just running off?"

Seeing the two heads down, rushing toward the entrance, Luo Jiuyou felt a bit anxious; everyone was trapped in the Ascension Path, yet he daily had good wine and food to eat, so his heart surely felt at ease.

But now, helplessly watching Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing escape the Ascension Path, Luo Jiuyou's heart feels utterly unpleasant.

You two damned things, how can you leave the Ascension Path? We're still here.

"Damn hag, did you forget what the forefather said back then? This Ascension Path is the key to entering the Immortal Realm, and you just ran off like that?"

Still wanting to provoke Qing Shen Ji and Tian Xing, but the two of them simply had no intention of responding.

Helplessly watching the two already rush to the entrance, Luo Jiuyou's expression turned grim.

But the next second, the two were at the entrance, as if directly bounced by some force, their whole bodies unconsciously blown backward several hundred meters.
