Chapter 967: Gathering Together

Lu Yunfeng recalled the day he greeted Fu Hanxiu, and the other's gaze was full of unfamiliarity.

Ye Qingran shrugged, "I'm even more curious than you!"

It's the truth: she has no clue about Fu Hanxiu's amnesia, the only certainty is that it involves Moyu.

"His amnesia might be linked to Moyu!"

Moyu?

Lu Yunfeng remembered the recent disturbance from Moyu, his expression tightening, "Could it be related to that previous incident?"

"What incident?"

Lu Yunfeng gave Ye Qingran a brief on that Moyu disturbance; after listening, Ye Qingran became even more convinced that Fu Hanxiu's amnesia was tied to Moyu.

The wind was gentle and the sun bright, the sunlight just right.

Ye Qingran, Lu Yunfeng, Yun Zhonghe and Lu Qiqi walked down the main street, their striking looks and bearing constantly drawing glances from passersby.

Yun Zhonghe and Lu Qiqi, after enduring countless hardships and misunderstandings, finally saw the clouds part and the moon shine, naturally treasuring their time together, occasionally glancing at each other on the road, inseparable.

"Yunfeng, let's not be third wheels any longer!" Ye Qingran tugged Lu Yunfeng and strode forward.

Lu Yunfeng's soul also hailed from Huaxia, so he naturally understood the meaning of "third wheel."

He smiled lightly, letting Ye Qingran pull his sleeve as they marched forward; members of the Beast Clan hidden nearby couldn't help but remark that the aloof Third Prince only showed a different side in front of Miss Ye.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng frolicked through the crowd, lively as two spring butterflies, their laughter audible now and then.

Ye Qingran gave a quick instruction and sat down at a tea stall by the roadside.

"You two, stop right there!"

Just as Xiaohu Xiaocheng were having fun, a commanding voice came from behind them.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng turned in confusion, seeing several beautiful women staring expressionlessly at them; they exchanged glances, blinked, and one pointed at herself asking, "Sister, are you talking to me?"

"What do you think?" the leading woman in green retorted coldly, her eyes full of indifference and contempt.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng sensed the hostility and slightly furrowed his brow.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Hu's tone also grew cold.

"You have no right to ask so many questions, come with us!" the green‑clad woman waved her hand; two women in blue emerged behind her, their aura fierce as they moved to seize Xiaohu Xiaocheng.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng stepped back a few paces, evading their motions.

"If you don't want to die, obey obediently!" the green woman snorted discontentedly.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng's eyes darted, hands to his mouth, shouting, "Help! Human traffickers are kidnapping children!"

Hearing this, nearby passersby turned their heads; Xiaohu Xiaocheng pitifully bit his lower lip, looking frightened. Their delicate, flawless features sparked an overwhelming protective instinct in the crowd.

"That's outrageous! Which reckless brute would commit such a heartless act in broad daylight!"

"Damn that bear, I Wang Er will definitely teach these scoundrels a lesson today!"

"Count me in as Zhang San!"

Many passersby rolled up their sleeves, their sense of justice overflowing.

The green woman clearly hadn't expected things to turn this way; she squinted slightly, then quickly regained composure, a disdainful sneer appearing on her face.

"If you don't want to die, I advise you not to meddle!"

"You human trafficker, so arrogant, let's all beat her up!"

The passionately heroic bystanders could no longer tolerate such a threat.

The green woman's aura chilled; their strength was limited, and against so many people they were sure to be outmatched, so she drew a token from her bosom and raised it overhead.

"We are of the Divine Clan; you all kneel immediately!"

With those words, the crowd's fiery zeal was doused like water, instantly extinguished.

Divine Clan?!

Everyone stared; the token in the green woman's hand bore ancient patterns, shimmering with a mysterious radiance.

Thus, the once‑brave bystanders gradually became shrouded in fear.

Damn, how did they offend the Divine Clan?

"Even though you're of the Divine Clan, you shouldn't bully children lightly, right?"

Among the crowd, a brave voice still rose.

A murderous glint flashed in the green woman's eyes; after a moment's pause she said, "That they can serve as flower children to welcome my Divine Clan's Rainbow Garment Princess is a blessing they have cultivated over countless lifetimes."

Flower children?!

"I heard the Rainbow Garment Princess always has flower children scattering blossoms wherever she goes; could she be coming to Wànlíng Chéng?"

"I see! To become a flower child for the Rainbow Garment Princess is indeed a great blessing!"

"We were misled! Rumor has it the Rainbow Garment Princess is as beautiful as a celestial maiden, unrivaled in elegance—will we get to see her soon?"

For a moment, everyone forgot their original purpose, immersed in the joy and excitement of the Rainbow Garment Princess's imminent arrival in Wànlíng Chéng.

Seeing this, the green woman's sarcasm deepened.

"Sure enough, they're lowly Spirit Clan folk!" she murmured softly, her gaze at Xiaohu Xiaocheng even more disdainful.

"Take them away!"

The Rainbow Garment Princess is about to descend on Wànlíng Chéng; wherever the princess goes, a grand welcoming ceremony is held, and flower children scattering blossoms are indispensable. Not only must the flowers be vivid and colorful, but the flower children must also be exquisitely beautiful—these two kids fit the role perfectly!

"What's happening up ahead? Why is it so lively?"

Hong Wu looked at the crowded throng nearby and asked in confusion.

"Just go up and take a look, then you'll know."

Qin Zixie curled his lips in a smile, grabbed Hong Wu's hand and sprinted forward; Hong Wu's face flushed briefly, but she didn't resist.

"Sister Feixue, it seems good things are imminent for the Qin Family."

Duan Yu bumped Qin Feixue's arm, teasing.

Qin Feixue beamed, "If Hong Wu is willing to marry into our Qin Family, it would be a blessing for our Qin Family."

Gu Wuyou stared bluntly at Qin Feixue, and a rare smile flickered on his face.

The few from Shenzhou Academy were not originally companions. After arriving in the Void Realm, they each went their separate ways; by coincidence Hong Wu and Qin Zixie landed in the same spot, and after spending some time together they gradually developed feelings and got together.

It seemed that some kind of resonance existed among them, and with uncanny tacit understanding they rushed from every corner of the Void Realm toward Wànlíng Chéng, gradually reuniting along the way.

"Let's go, we'll head to Wànlíng Xuégōng to find Instructor Ye!"

When they heard Qin Feixue say that, Duan Yu and Gu Wuyou both showed excited expressions.

They were finally going to meet Instructor Ye!

Qin Zixie tugged Hong Wu forward into the crowd, and saw several women cruelly bullying two children; those children were none other than Xiaohu Xiaocheng, and their expressions suddenly changed, with fury blazing in their eyes!

At that moment, Xiaohu Xiaocheng watched the approaching villains, a cunning glint flashing in his eyes; just as he was about to act, a sharp shout rang out.

"Stop!"

Immediately two figures sprinted toward them, blocking in front of Xiaohu Xiaocheng.

Xiaohu Xiaocheng looked at the two before him, his face full of surprise.

"Brother Zixie? Sister Hong Wu?"

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng!"

Qin Zixie and Hong Wu felt immense joy upon seeing Xiaohu Xiaocheng; although they had already confirmed that Ye Qingran and her child were in Wànlíng Chéng, seeing them in person still made them unable to contain their excitement.

"Great, finally found you!" Hong Wu's eyes were reddened, and she almost burst into tears from excitement.

"Are you bored of living? You even dare to meddle with Divine Clan affairs?!"

"Divine Clan? So what? Aren't they just ordinary people like everyone else?!"

Hong Wu retorted.

Coincidentally, she and Qin Zixie descended into a Divine Clan area and met many Divine Clan members along the way; most of them were actually ordinary people, simple and kind, merely mortals.

Where does this Divine Clan get its sense of superiority?

The green‑clothed woman frowned; this despicable fellow actually questioned the Divine Clan's nobility?

"I'd like to ask you, what kind of Divine Clan person are you?"

Without hesitation, the green‑clothed woman replied, "We are the personal maidservants of Princess Nìshang!" Mentioning her status, she lifted her chin proudly.

"So you're just a maid; what gives you the right to be so arrogant?"

Hong Wu was at a loss for words.

"A maid of Princess Nìshang, you're just someone any stray cat or dog could become? Becoming a maid of Princess Nìshang is a tremendous honor, and you don't have it!"

Hong Wu, speechless, said, "Thanks, I don't need it!"

She wasn't full and then scrambling to be a maid for some labor‑type Princess Nìshang!

Moreover, Princess Nìshang may appear glorious on the surface, but her reputation among the Divine Clan isn't good; people merely keep silent because of her princely status.

"You all get out of here quickly, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

The green‑clothed woman said impatiently.

"We'd actually like to see how you'll be impolite!"

Qin Feixue's voice came, and she, Gu Wuyou, and Duan Yu strode forward, standing beside Hong Wu and Qin Zixie.

"Sister Feixue! Brother Wuyou! Sister Duan Yu!"

Xiaohu Xiaocheng saw the three, and his face lit up with joy again.

If mother knew they had come to Wànlíng Chéng, she would be very happy.

"Xiaohu Xiaocheng, we're also here!"

"Hm?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Xiaohu Xiaocheng looked toward its source, and several figures gracefully descended from the rooftops of the opposite building.

There were four newcomers.

Three men and one woman, all handsome and beautiful.
