Chapter 362: Loyalty

Finally gone!

At this moment, countless people in the Fourth Heaven saw Lu Ye ascend and disappear at the end of the sky, and they couldn’t help but feel a rush of tears.

What a disaster!

Now that the nuisance has left, the Fourth Heaven is finally going to be peaceful.

But, it also means a significant drop in resources for the Fourth Heaven.

Nevertheless, as long as Lu Ye is gone, no matter what, almost everyone feels happy.

Similarly, many people began to contact their sects, urging them to reach out to the Fifth Heaven and inform them of Lu Ye’s ascension.

News of Lu Ye’s ascension spread quickly across the entire Fourth Heaven, and some people even started setting off firecrackers to express their joy.

In a courtyard.

Shangguan Huanling also learned about Lu Ye’s ascension, and her gaze couldn’t help but darken a bit.

Coming to the Fourth Heaven, she had only met her elder brother Lu Ye once—what a huge loss.

Right now, countless people in the Fourth Heaven were looking for Shangguan Huanling.

Some were trying to capture her to uncover the Great Emperor’s secrets, while others wanted to buy the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation.

The current situation was such that some people had learned the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, while others had not.

Those who had learned it were obviously feeling powerful, but those who hadn’t were suffering.

Originally, everyone was pretty even, but now because someone mastered a technique, they were vastly stronger—who could tolerate that?

Some even raised their prices just to buy it.

Hearing all this, Shangguan Huanling’s mouth was watering.

But she had to take care of Yue Hongling!

Right now, Yue Hongling was sometimes acting all crazy, and that state was just too frightening.

Humanity can be so wicked—when she was little, her mother had terrified her to keep her from running off by taking her to see a crazy woman on the outskirts of the city.

That woman didn’t seem to know how she had lost her mind, hair unkempt and looking a mess, yet she had seven children and was even pregnant when they went to see her.

A bunch of people crammed into a tiny house filled with bugs—those kids…

That scene was horrifying!

Just thinking about it made Shangguan Huanling’s heart ache for Hongling if she were to become like that.

Actually, in her previous life, they had considered having children with Lu Ye.

But Lu Ye rejected it because he was an orphan; without a stable environment, he wouldn’t think about having kids.

After all, he was cultivating the Nine Lives Scriptures—which granted him nine lives and was already down to one left—how could he think about having children under such circumstances?

Besides, in his previous life, Lu Ye felt that the moment he died, if two out of the eight women survived, it would be because his enemies were too merciful.

So, Shangguan Huanling really couldn’t leave Yue Hongling alone.

But if she couldn’t leave her alone, she wouldn’t be able to sell the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation.

She couldn’t exactly carry Yue Hongling around…

Shangguan Huanling paused.

Ah, how did she not think of carrying Hongling?

Over five years, she thought about so many things, and yet this never crossed her mind.

“I’m really dumb!”

“Hongling!”

Shangguan Huanling called out to Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling looked at her, somewhat confused.

“How about I carry you out to play?”

“Is there a Senior Brother?” Yue Hongling asked.

“No Senior Brother, just me!”

Yue Hongling immediately shook her head, “No Senior Brother? I’m not going! My Senior Brother doesn’t let me play with crazy people!”

Shangguan Huanling was puzzled.

“Don’t worry, we’re not going to play with crazy people, it’s just the two of us—no crazy people.”

“Not going, not going, don’t play with crazy people.”

Shangguan Huanling assured her kindly, “Don’t worry, no one will see you as a crazy person.”

Yue Hongling shook her head even faster.

She kept mumbling about not playing with crazy people.

Shangguan Huanling shook her head helplessly; clearly, Yue Hongling sensed something—she didn’t want to admit that she was crazy, and if she played with a crazy person, it would mean she was crazy too.

Poor Hongling!

“Then how about I take you to find your Senior Brother?”

As soon as Yue Hongling heard this, her eyes lit up.

She nodded repeatedly, “Good, good, good!”

“Then you have to stay still, just lie on my back, and I’ll take you to find your Senior Brother!”

The moment Lu Ye was mentioned, Yue Hongling turned particularly quiet and obedient, laying right on Shangguan Huanling’s back.

Shangguan Huanling found a spirit rope that she hadn’t absorbed yet, tied the two of them together, and walked out of the courtyard.

Radiant lights flowed around the courtyard; this was the barrier Yue Hongling had set up with her last ounce of strength before going mad, meant to shield against prying eyes from all sides.

Otherwise, they probably would have been exposed long ago.

Sun Ruowei had actually been inquiring about Yue Hongling’s whereabouts for a long time.

Shangguan Huanling, the dealer of the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, had disappeared for quite some time, and her sudden return caused quite a stir.

Finally out!

Right now, without the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, the cultivation world in the Fourth Heaven would barely survive.

Those who possessed the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation were practically bullying everyone else.

Therefore, one by one, the strong folk rushed towards Shangguan Huanling’s location.

Sun Ruowei also heard the news and hurried over, filled with worry.

It’s important to know that Shangguan Huanling’s circumstances were very different from before.

Previously, she was just a technique dealer—not worth spending too much effort to capture.

But now, she was the reincarnation of the Empress; who knows how many secrets she has, and how many people are coveting her?

So, Sun Ruowei had to go over. Even though her cultivation level wasn’t high, she would still lend a hand if she could.

At this moment, Shangguan Huanling, with Yue Hongling on her back, appeared atop the city walls.

“Stay at least ten miles away from me. If you want to buy the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, I will point out who can come over; otherwise, I’ll leave immediately—this is no joke!”

Just as her words fell, a figure had already breached the ten-mile mark.

In an instant, Shangguan Huanling turned into a streak of blood light and vanished, leaving behind a bunch of people staring at each other in confusion.

“What’s the hurry? Can’t you wait until we get the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation before making a move? It drives me crazy!”

Someone with a short temper exploded, even striking that person with a palm!

“Let me be clear—if anyone acts before we get the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation, don’t blame us for being ruthless!”

“Exactly, whoever interferes with us obtaining the Heavenly Silkworm Transformation will be beaten up!”

Shangguan Huanling was already in another spot, and it was quite far from where she had just been!

This time, the rule still stood: no one could approach within ten miles, and if they did, she would immediately escape.

Also, only those trading with her could enter within five miles—otherwise, she would vanish again!

One could only say that Shangguan Huanling had become a master of cleverness.

Meanwhile, Sun Ruowei changed locations several times before finally locating Shangguan Huanling.

“Huanling, it’s me, I’m Sun…”

Shangguan Huanling’s expression changed, and her figure instantly…

Huh? Sister Sun?

As soon as the red light appeared, Shangguan Huanling froze.

“Elder Sister Sun, come quickly!”

At this moment, Yue Hongling had a brief moment of clarity, her expression changing dramatically as she hurriedly said.
