Chapter 54: Qingshe Plans to Seek an

The three of them traveled north, riding the clouds and mist.

Looking down, the mountains rose like sea waves, with ten thousand layers of surging billows encroaching.

It was indeed the legendary Beiju Luzhou, a place of strife and evil.

With precipitous ridges and dangerous mountains, wicked waters and deep valleys, and swamps everywhere, the journey was filled with high peaks, dense miasma, and savages and demons at every turn.

They barely saw any flat plains or traces of the Human Race.

Had it not been for the aura exuded by Fang Longye and Qingshe, and the fact that they were merely passing through, they would have long since been intercepted and attacked.

Even so, there were still some demons who, upon seeing the two, rushed forward to attack without rhyme or reason.

Fortunately, these demons were all minor ones who had yet to step into the Immortal Realm.

True demon immortals, even if somewhat fierce and irritable due to their Bloodline, still possessed basic reason and would not attack fellow travelers without cause.

Above the clouds, Qingshe was explaining to her master the treasure she had mentioned.

"Master, you know that I previously entered a Small World by accident while being hunted by an enemy. The reason for being hunted was that I discovered the secret of a Loose Immortal fox demon; she possessed a treasure that could clear one's mind and greatly increase one's comprehension."

"She feared I would leak the secret and attract the covetousness of others, so she hunted me down. This treasure is definitely extraordinary."

"After we left the Cave Heaven Small World, I used my Know the Times divine ability to confirm that only a dozen or so years had passed since I accidentally entered it. In such a short time, that fox demon must still be in her Cave Abode."

Fang Longye smiled and said, "Is that so? Then I must see what kind of treasure it is."

Hearing this, Qingshe clutched the Jade Ruyi in her hand, her face wreathed in smiles.

Heh, you slutty fox! You hunted me down back then and put me in danger several times; now that I have survived, I have even ascended to a True Immortal.

You would never have imagined this, would you?

This time, even if the Master doesn't make a move, I alone can make it so you cannot mend your broken moon! Fang Longye used his cloud-riding divine ability to carry Qingshe and Caidie as they flew at high speed.

At a speed of about ten thousand miles in an instant, even while just glancing at the scenery, he gained a new perspective on Beiju Luzhou.

In reality, Beiju Luzhou was not just all barren mountains and wicked waters; apart from the lack of plains, there were also many immortal mountains and precious lands.

The spiritual energy was abundant, and the terrestrial Qi overflowed.

Such immortal mountain residences were particularly conspicuous amidst the dangerous mountains and wicked waters. They were like oases in a desert, dazzling and brilliant.

However, such immortal blessed lands were all occupied by demon immortals.

Taking these as the core, they marked off the surrounding mountain ridges and swamps, which were lacking in spiritual energy, as territories of varying sizes, ruling over more or fewer demons.

There was actually a different kind of order.

It was vastly different from the scene Fang Longye had imagined, where both great and small demons would start fighting at the slightest disagreement.

After traveling for about two or three hours, they finally arrived at the place Qingshe had pointed out.

They saw a verdant mountain peak, brimming with spiritual energy and surrounded by clouds and mist.

The mountain was not very large, only a thousand miles long and over a thousand zhang high, but it was exceptionally beautiful. With cinnabar cliffs and jade peaks, secluded streams and long rivers, exotic flowers and rare herbs, and pines and cypresses that remained evergreen, cinnabar cranes nested all around, their calls clear and their echoes lingering.

Sudden rain ends the lingering heat, a single leaf of the paulownia brings a start. Fireflies fly along the grassy path at dusk, crickets chirp as the moonlight brightens.

Yellow sunflowers bloom reflecting the dew, red knotweed covers the sandy islets. The river willows are the first to wither, the cold cicadas chirp in accordance with the season.

It was indeed a precious land.

"Is this the Yushu Mountain you spoke of?" Fang Longye asked Qingshe beside him.

"That is correct, Master."

"From now on, address me as Young Master. And Jinghuan, you as well."

Caidie looked puzzled. Qingshe's mind turned, and she immediately understood Fang Longye's intention, praising, "Master—no, Young Master—is truly thoughtful and possesses unparalleled wisdom. This servant is impressed~"

Fang Longye smiled and said nothing.

This was also inspired by Qingshe's previous assumption that he was a reincarnated Golden Immortal.

Now that he had left the Cave Heaven Small World, he was no longer the Yuanlong Lord who was "second only to Heaven" in that Small World.

Even if he did not fear True Immortals, if he provoked a Golden Immortal, he would be in a tight spot.

Having them call him Young Master was a way to bluff.

If there is a Young Master, there must be a "father."

At present, he was at the Yuan Immortal realm, and others did not know his combat power.

If he could have a True Immortal as a slave or maid, then his "father" must at least be a long-standing Golden Immortal, perhaps even a great demon who had stepped into the Taiyi realm.

In this way, even if he accidentally provoked a Golden Immortal, once they saw his entourage and knew he had backing and a background, they would naturally treat him differently.

Playing the pig to eat the tiger is the way of the protagonist; for someone like him, bluffing is the royal road.

After Qingshe explained it clearly to Caidie.

Fang Longye gave the order: "Coming uninvited already makes us unwelcome guests; to enter without announcing ourselves would be too rude to the beauty. Jinghuan, go and knock on the door~"

Qingshe, who had been fantasizing about how to humiliate that slutty fox, felt her heart skip a beat upon hearing this, secretly thinking, "Oh no."

In an instant, she regretted urging her master to come to this Yushu Mountain.

Caidie, whose heart now belonged to her master, naturally did not notice the change in her former mistress's expression and immediately went to carry out the order.

Fang Longye looked at Yushu Mountain, where a light drizzle fell from time to time under the mountain clouds and mist.

It looked as green as if washed, and the sunlight reflecting through the fine rain faintly blended into colors, looking magnificent.

"What a Yushu Mountain, the mountain lives up to its name!"

Qingshe spoke up: "Master, this fox demon is cunning, and there must be layers of traps inside the Cave Abode. This servant fears that not only will she hurt Jinghuan, but if she escapes, it would be troublesome. How about this servant follows behind Jinghuan and acts as the situation requires?"

Fang Longye waved his hand and said somewhat lazily, "Don't worry, she can't run."

"Have you forgotten? Not only do I have the Hidden Spirit Divine Ability, but my pair of Sun and Moon Golden Pupils can not only release mysterious light to destroy everything, but like other pupil techniques, they can also see through everything. The fox demon's Cave Abode formation is nothing special. With Jinghuan's Dharma Treasure, given her Loose Immortal cultivation, she definitely cannot escape."

Fang Longye was not being arrogant; it was truly as he said—he saw through everything at a glance, and even the fox demon's treasure that Qingshe mentioned was already clear to him.

"I didn't expect it to be this treasure, though I don't know if it's the one I'm thinking of," Fang Longye muttered to himself.

He also secretly thought that the fox clan's ability to bewitch people's hearts was definitely not as simple as just having a seductive appearance.

"Young Master's divine might is boundless," Qingshe said, forcing a smile.

"Rest assured, Qingli, Young Master will definitely avenge you."

*Heh! Avenge? I'm afraid that means ending up in bed, * Qingshe thought indignantly.

It wasn't that she was jealous; having spent hundreds of years together, she had long since understood her master's temperament.

Jealous? Setting aside whether she could even handle it given his nature, she was merely a handmaiden—what right did she have to be jealous? The key point was that this was her former enemy.

Even that wasn't the main thing. The most crucial point was that, as an enemy, she understood this vixen's personality all too well.

When it came to vying for favor in the bedroom, this vixen was the expert. In fact, most of her own schemes were learned from this vixen.

She had finally managed to latch onto a powerful backer, receiving the grace of a figure who could chat and laugh with ancient mighty beings and forge a bond of Dharma.

This vixen could just sit at home and have such good fortune fall from the sky. Is there any justice in this world! The third and fourth chapters for today will be a little late; I haven't finished writing them yet. Sorry~ (End of chapter)
