**Chapter 376: Yun Yue Yao: From Now On, Dual Cultivation Will Be Much More Convenient**
“Darling, did you miss me?”
In the blink of an eye, a petite figure suddenly popped out from behind a tree and ‘collided’ right into him.
Bai Feng caught the flying figure with a somewhat exasperated look: “What were you hiding behind the tree for?”
“I wanted to give you a surprise.” Yun Yue Yao said with a small smile, “After all, life needs a little fun, right?”
“You should know that I have my divine consciousness on you, so I can…”
Before Bai Feng could finish, Yun Yue Yao placed a finger on his lips: “Shh, don’t ruin the mood with such boring talk.”
“…Should I be more surprised and excited, then?”
Bai Feng couldn’t help but quip.
Yun Yue Yao quickly nodded: “Yes, yes!”
“With you so serious, I’m not sure how to react…”
Bai Feng couldn’t help but smirk, reaching out to pat her head. Yun Yue Yao responded by rubbing her head against his palm, looking utterly pleased.
After a moment of head-patting, he set Yun Yue Yao down and got to the point: “By the way, did you see any Demon Path cultivators on your way here?”
Yun Yue Yao nodded: “Yes, I encountered some, but I’m not sure why they were heading to that place. I remember there was nothing special there.”
“I have a few guesses.”
Bai Feng stroked his chin, then glanced at the curious-looking Yun Yue Yao, a grin spreading across his face: “Let’s change locations. We’ve traveled a long way and could use a break.”
“Did you discover some secret area?” Yun Yue Yao asked, intrigued.
“Something like that.” Bai Feng nodded. “But don’t resist.”
He then looked at Tian Yan, who was standing nearby: “Want to join?”
Tian Yan nodded: “Of course, wherever you go, I go.”
“…I’ve noticed you’ve become quite chatty, and you love making comments that can easily be misunderstood.”
“That’s probably because I’ve been hanging around someone for too long and picked up some bad habits.” Tian Yan replied, her expression unchanging.
Bai Feng couldn’t help but shake his head in mock frustration: “How can you be a good Holy Maiden Tian Yan with an attitude like that?”
Tian Yan shot him a glance, speaking in a calm and confident tone: “I am Holy Maiden Tian Yan. Whatever I am, that’s what a Holy Maiden is—there’s no question of whether I can do it well.”
“…”
Even though that sounded cool, it doesn’t justify your shameless deflection.
Bai Feng sighed, feeling a bit at a loss when it came to managing Tian Yan, but then again, she had always had thick skin; she just spoke less back in the day.
After mentally scolding Tian Yan for a bit, he finally raised his right hand, adorned with a ring, and in an instant, the three of them vanished from sight.
As a celestial ring, it wouldn’t result in Bai Feng dropping his ring if he entered it. However, the entrance and exit are fixed, so you always come out where you went in, which means a little setup before entering is necessary—to set up a few arrays just in case.
Inside the Celestial Ring.
“How is it?”
Bai Feng stood next to Yun Yue Yao. Before them lay a vibrant meadow and forest, a stark contrast to the desolation he encountered when he first got the ring.
“What is this place…”
Yun Yue Yao kept glancing around, feeling the strong aura of spiritual energy. It was like an independent space, almost like a secret realm.
Bai Feng waved his right hand, adorned with the ring, in front of her: “This is it—the ring I got after dealing with that certain finger.”
“Finger?”
Yun Yue Yao was momentarily taken aback, then quickly realized what Bai Feng meant.
“I’m grateful for you; otherwise, I would have had a tough time handling it.”
“Hehe, I told you, you’d definitely use it!” Yun Yue Yao quickly understood Bai Feng’s meaning, her lips curling up in a hint of pride. Then she regarded Bai Feng intently and added with more concern, “By the way, why don’t you tell me what happened in the secret realm in just a few days?”
“It wasn’t too complicated. First, let’s find a place to rest, then I’ll tell you everything.”
A few minutes later…
Bai Feng sat in a hastily built gazebo, a few plates of snacks laid out on the table.
As he munched on a pastry, he recounted his experiences to Yun Yue Yao, while conveniently bribing Tian Yan with some cake to help him ‘plant crops.’
“In summary, that’s how it went down. So when I found out the Demon Path cultivators were gathering at a certain location, I hurried to find you.”
He left out the details about the system, just mentioning how the Tian Yan sword and the celestial ring collided, causing the lingering soul within the ring to dissipate.
“So that’s how it was…” Yun Yue Yao nodded slightly, murmuring, “As expected, secret realms related to immortals never lead to anything good.”
“But at least I gained a lot; I can now be considered someone possessing an immortal artifact.” Bai Feng chuckled, recalling something, then pulled out a sword and handed it to Yun Yue Yao. “Speaking of which, here’s the Tian Yan Sword back to you.”
“I think you should keep it for self-defense.”
After all, just the thought of having an Immortal Fragment hidden in the secret realm made her somewhat anxious.
“But this sword can only reach its maximum power in your hands, right?” Bai Feng shook his head, “Now that we’ve reunited, are you planning to go solo?”
“No way! I’m sticking to you like glue!”
With that, Yun Yue Yao wrapped her arms around him.
“That might be a bit much…”
Bai Feng didn’t push her away, letting her hug his neck.
“By the way…” Yun Yue Yao loosened her grip a bit, looking around at the surroundings, “This celestial ring is super convenient.”
Bai Feng nodded: “Yep, we won’t have to book an inn or cave dwelling anymore, and we can remodel it however we like…”
“From now on, dual cultivation will be much more convenient.” Yun Yue Yao smiled slyly.
Bai Feng: “…”
Is that all you can think about with this amazing ring?
“So, how about we…”
Before Yun Yue Yao could finish, Bai Feng flicked her forehead: “Stop messing around! Tian Yan and Zuo Qiu are here too!”
“Ugh—”
Yun Yue Yao let out a very disappointed sound.
“Plus, Yu Mo is in that direction. Although she’s pretty far from where the Demon Path is gathering, it’s safer for us to find her first.”
“Is Yu Mo also heading this way?” Yun Yue Yao asked, her demeanor turning serious.
Bai Feng shook his head: “No, it seems she stumbled upon some sort of fortuitous encounter and hasn’t moved.”
“Then let’s tackle the Demon Path first! We can’t let them run amok in the secret realm.”
Especially with the Divine Monarch keeping an eye on Bai Feng. We certainly can’t let them get their hands on the Immortal Fragments. They’ve got to be taken care of!
