Chapter 532: Happy? (10/10, Autumn Subscription)

Fang Yue: …

"Get lost and go to sleep!! Your mouth is so venomous, I curse you to never have any boys to play with in the future!"

【There will be! There will be! The great and noble Lord Parchment has already become pretty, so there will definitely be cute boys who like me!】

Fang Yue:???

"I was just saying it casually. Are you parchments some big clan or something, that you even have boys?"

【Nope, but whenever I can have babies, I'll definitely give birth to boys!!】

Fang Yue's face darkened.

He realized that chatting with the parchment was truly an insult to his own intelligence.

"You should go sleep, get some more rest, and recover your strength. If nothing unexpected happens, in about three days I'm guessing I'll have a tough battle to fight."

Fang Yue figured that since Jing Yan had already estimated the time as three days, the arrival date of the 【Coffin-Bearing Wraith】 shouldn't deviate too much.

Three days — he wondered whether Lord Jun could use the 【Summon Sect Order】 to call over people from those sects to help.

Thinking of the number of wraiths in the army that Jing Yan had mentioned, Fang Yue's mood was still somewhat heavy.

He still had to become stronger!

Heart Methods and Martial Techniques were the best way to boost his chances of victory.

"Ye Ge!"

Bai Daya, covered in black mud, popped out from the fish-raising pond nearby, cackling.

"Ah!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu, who had been assigned to watch over Bai Daya, only then gave a start and jolted awake.

"What gives, it's still only evening… so sleepy… my belly's still so big, digestion is so slow…"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was just thinking about that when she suddenly saw Bai Daya, covered all over in black mud, laughing loudly as she ran up to a figure.

Looking closely, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu nearly got scared into stopping breathing.

"Y-Ye Ge?!"

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was instantly wide awake.

It's over, it's over, it's over! Ye Ge is definitely going to lecture me again, but it's not my fault — my talent is that after I eat, I digest the food's power through sleep and stuff, strengthening my ability…

She nervously closed her eyes, waiting for Fang Yue's scolding.

But who would have thought that when Fang Yue clip-clop-clip-clop walked over to her side, he actually just… gently patted her on the head.

"Wu Wu, today's you worked really hard too. Keep it up, rice-bowl warrior!"

Wh-wh-wh-what?!

Ye Ge is cheering me on, Ye Ge didn't scold me??

Has Ye Ge been Possessed?!

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu was stunned, staring dumbly as Fang Yue warmly parted ways with Bai Daya, wearing a blissful expression with a mysterious smile, and walked off ahead.

This is… like winning an eight-million lottery or something?

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu scratched her head in a daze. As for Bai Daya, she had no such thoughts — after Fang Yue told her not to follow, she jumped right back into the fish pond, eating black mud, eating lotus flowers, eating goldfish… she'd eat anything, basically.

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu sighed again — if only she had that kind of appetite, why couldn't her strength improve.

She heard from Qing Chen that if your attribute points are maxed out and then you gain more attribute points, you can obtain 【Realm Breakthrough Progress】.

With her and Bai Daya's combined bite force, forget Realm Breakthrough Progress — she'd eat gods for you to see!

Thinking this way, Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu suddenly felt she was still pretty strong, with a kind of prideful illusion of looking down on the whole world.

But very soon, her bulging belly brought her back to reality.

Anyone who didn't know would think she was pregnant! So embarrassing…

Tian Dan Zhi Yuan Wu sulkily rubbed her little belly, and in a daze fell asleep again.

Bai Daya, who was eating in the pond, suddenly paused strangely, looked up in confusion toward the distance, and spaced out for a moment.

But very soon, she returned to normal and happily went back to eating black mud.

…

"Lord Han, Lord Jun, Lord You."

Fang Yue gathered everyone, then shared the intelligence Jing Yan had gathered.

"Three days!" Tian Erjun's expression was somewhat excited and thrilled.

"If the wraiths keep advancing at this speed, then we have plenty of time to gather everyone from the sects! Also, the seal on the entrance, and the various defensive arrays around the entrance — we can start inscribing those too."

With sufficient intelligence, many things could now be done with peace of mind.

You Sisi deliberated: "Should we first transfer the common folk of Qingsi County to the surrounding villages?"

"Three days isn't enough."

Lord Jun shook his head slightly.

Three days — for a person riding a Qingsi Horse, was enough to visit every sect in the area and have those powerhouses rush over without sparing their internal energy, naturally arriving with ease.

But for a large-scale relocation of villagers, this time was far from sufficient.

Even how far they could get out was a question.

After all, if villagers were to be arranged to leave, someone would definitely need to escort them.

"Then let's arrange them all into the southern corner and have them put up with it for a few days first." You Sisi thought for a moment and chose a compromise.

"That's fine, you handle it."

On these small matters, You Sisi already had the ability to handle things on her own.

And as the Chief Green-Robed of Qingsi County, it was only right that she show herself more often, letting more villagers know she had become the true new master of Qingsi County.

Glancing at Fang Yue, whose aura seemed to have grown stronger by another few points, You Sisi said: "I need some hands. Will Ye Baiyi accompany me to handle this?"

"Me? I can't really be of much help." Fang Yue still wanted to switch Heart Methods, and was planning to cram in extra cultivation at the last minute.

"You can't put it that way. In the eyes of the common people, Jing Yan is the hero who discovered the underground passage of the Underground Stronghold, and you, the Captain of Gu Yue Cun, who destroyed the Phoenix Organization inside the Underground Stronghold and killed the anomaly, are equally a hero in their eyes. You only need to stand by my side and show your support, and it can instantly settle a lot of unnecessary arguments."

Look at that — now that's what I call professional flattery.

Parchment, come out and learn some new knowledge!!

Parchment?

You not making a sound is really awkward for me.

Fang Yue called out to the Parchment twice in his heart, but was ignored.

It couldn't be… really angry and ignoring me now, could it?

Don't be like that, can't I just admit I was wrong…

…Fine, you win. Just come out on time to work in three days!

Fang Yue had already thought it through — with his strength at the Xiantian Realm, he might be able to withstand another 【Anomaly Transformation】 in exchange for one chance for the Parchment to act.

Of course, it would be best if he didn't need to use it. After all, Fang Yue himself wasn't sure about this matter. Not only was Anomaly Transformation irreversible, he also didn't know if it would instantly cost him his life — it was truly dangerous.

So unless it really came down to a point where there was no other choice, this great trump card called Parchment should remain sealed for now.

"Ye Baiyi? What do you think? If you don't speak, I'll take it as your silent agreement."

"Uh… following you is no problem, but I need to go to the Qingsi Bureau first to look at Heart Methods and switch to a Xiantian Heart Method to cultivate. Oh right, have my Merit Points from the 【White Robe Token】 come through yet?"

"They have. Go register at the Gong Xun Dian later, and all the Merit Points will be inherited onto your 【White Robe Token】."

Hearing that Fang Yue was willing to help, the corners of You Sisi's mouth curved up slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood: "Also, I've discussed it with Tian Erjun — if we can hold Qingsi County in three days, we'll promote you to Blue Robe, the third Blue Robe of Qingsi County! How about it, happy?"
