“What gift?”
The luxuriously-dressed youth was first stunned before his face was filled with ecstasy. He hurriedly spoke.
“It’s the star dragon marrow. I heard from the Lan family that immortal art will cause damage to your body, so I specially obtained this marrow from the ancestor for you…”
As he spoke, the luxuriously-dressed youth immediately took out a jade bottle from his storage bag.
At the next instant, Erniu’s figure disappeared in the distance. When he reappeared, he was in front of the luxuriously-dressed youth. He took the jade bottle and opened it. After taking a sniff, he placed it in his pocket and calmly spoke.
‘Tll accept your gift but your previous actions still make it impossible…” The luxuriously-dressed youth was excited. He had pursued Yue Dong for many years and this was the first time she had accepted his gift. Hence, his heart was boiling. He felt that this was a signal.
This was a sign that she was touched by him!
‘I have to strike while the iron is hot!’
As Erniu spoke, he quickly took out a bracelet.
Dong’er, this is also a gift I prepared for you. It’s made of star crystals.”
Erniu instantly paused.
Looking at the sparkling bracelet, he blinked. After taking it, he coughed.
“Forget it, forget it. Your sincerity…”
Miss Dong’er, I still have a gift. This hairpin is naturally made from top-grade immortal jade…”
The luxuriously-dressed youth became increasingly excited and kept taking out gifts one after another. As for Erniu, his eyes grew brighter and brighter as he put them away. In the end… the luxuriously-dressed youth suggested the idea of escorting him.
Erniu hesitated for a moment before the luxuriously-dressed youth took out another gift.
Looking at the gift, Erniu took a deep breath and couldn’t refuse anymore. He could only smile and nod.
This smile caused the thoughts of the luxuriously-dressed youth to soar.
Xu Qing, who was at the side, saw everything. He paid even more attention and continued to watch the show.
On the way, the luxuriously-dressed youth talked about the things that had happened in the holy land during the more than five hundred days since Yue Dong left. Every word he uttered was incredibly gentle, and each term of endearment was filled with deep affection, accompanied by one gift after another…
It was obvious that whether it was in Erniu’s present life or his many previous lives, he had never experienced such an experience. In the end, his expression revealed some confusion.
Through this luxuriously-dressed youth, Xu Qing also gained a deeper understanding of the latest developments in the Demon Feather Holy Land. This was especially so when the other party mentioned the disciple of the Great Emperor Nether Flame, Lu Lingzi, and the Lan family.
Erniu was also paying attention, so he asked about it.
Faced with Erniu’s question, the luxuriously-dressed youth explained in greater detail.
Lu Lingzi had returned a month ago!
“Regarding the matter between Lu Lingzi and the Lan family, what I saw in the past was only the surface. So, Miss Dong’er, don’t blame me for not telling you in the past.”
“It was only during this time when my family’s status increased and I heard the ancestor’s discussion that I found out… that the higher-ups of the holy land knew the reason for the conflict between the Lan family and Lu Lingzi “However, they didn’t interfere. Whether it was the Lan family’s victory or Lu Lingzi’s, it didn’t matter to them. They just had to support the final victor.” “A month ago, Lu Lingzi returned as a Ruler and told everyone that the Lan family wanted to harm him. He beat them at their own game and borrowed their strength to break through to the Ruler realm before killing the Lan family’s ancestor.”
“This matter is somewhat fishy, but the attention of all parties is no longer here. This is because after Lu Lingzi returned, he did two things. The first was to publicize that he had obtained the pure bloodline of the Lan family and fused the bloodline into his magical eye.”
“It can be said that the current Lu Lingzi can already be considered the true successor of the Great Emperor Nether Flame!”
“And because he has advanced to the Ruler Realm, he is now soaring like the sun in the sky!”
“The second thing Lu Lingzi did was to inform all parties that he would head to the place where the Great Emperor Nether Flame was in seclusion in three months to carry out the final inheritance.”
“At the same time, Lu Lingzi proposed to take all his fellow Rulers and five heaven’s chosens from the race with him, regardless of their faction, to share in this fortune!”
“This method obtained praise from all parties in the holy land. Even the Demon Feather Great Emperor allowed it.”
“After all, the place where the Great Emperor is in seclusion is considered sealed. If you want to open it, you need a specific method. Right now, the only person who can open the place where the Great Emperor is in seclusion is Lu Lingzi, who has fused with the Lan family’s bloodline and is almost a successor. Moreover, he also needs the help of the other disciples of the Great Emperor.”
“Hence, one can imagine that in the next three months, undercurrents will definitely surge in the holy land. Everyone will be fighting for these five spots.” “However, Dong’er, you’re still the smartest. Presumably, although you have a good relationship with the Lan family, you didn’t participate in the matters between the Lan family and Lu Lingzi. Hence, when Lu Lingzi returned, he didn’t mention you at all.”
The luxuriously-dressed youth spoke gently.
When Erniu heard this, his heart trembled. His gaze then swept imperceptibly toward Xu Qing who was beside him.
Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever but there were also waves in his heart.
They knew the truth.
So now, hearing about this matter… no matter how they looked at it, it seemed suspicious.
But at this moment, with outsiders present, Xu Qing and Erniu did not communicate with each other.
Just like that, under the continuous mushy words of the luxuriously-dressed youth, three days passed.
Under the escort of the other party, Xu Qing and Erniu finally arrived at a city. This was the destination they had decided on previously.
The luxuriously-dressed youth looked reluctant to leave. However, as his jade token continued to vibrate, he finally helplessly bade farewell and started to head to the battlefield.
Before he left, he affectionately gave Erniu some gifts.
As Erniu held them, his expression became complicated.
After the luxuriously-dressed youth left, Xu Qing glanced at his eldest senior brother beside him and calmly spoke.
Eldest Senior Brother has had quite the romantic encounter.”
Erniu had a strange expression on his face. After a long time, he sighed. “Damn it, in my next life, I’ll reincarnate as a woman! The gifts I received on the way made me feel that it’s not a loss for us to leave the holy land now…” Seeing that his eldest senior brother was sighing, Xu Qing didn’t continue teasing him. Instead, he mentioned Lu Lingzi.
When Erniu heard this, his eyes narrowed.
“I feel that there’s something wrong with Lu Lingzi’s identity. Did I guess correctly back then?!”
Erniu looked at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing fell silent and was also thinking about this matter.
A long time later, Erniu coughed.
“No matter what, he can stop thinking about hogging it all for himself! In three months, we have to think of a way to sneak in.”
“Now, I’m going to make a trip to the Immortal Arts Hall of the East Demon Feather to help Yue Dong fulfill her dream. Little Qing, what about you? Do you want to join me?”
Xu Qing shook his head and looked into the distance.
“I won’t go to the Immortal Arts Hall. I’ll go get my identity.”
At the same time, in the East Demon Feather, not far from the Great Emperor
Nether Flame’s Dao altar, there was a huge and majestic mountain.
This mountain didn’t exist a month ago.
It had only risen recently.
It was the tenth Ruler Mountain that Lu Lingzi had built after he returned because of his Ruler cultivation.
At that moment, in the main hall on the mountain peak, Lu Lingzi, who was wearing a golden robe, was meditating with his eyes closed.
His breath echoed like heavenly lightning, shaking the main hall and echoing through the mountain, forming a terrifying pressure.
At the next instant, his eyes suddenly opened. It was as though there were stars inside them, emitting a resplendent light in unison.
He frowned slightly and took out a jade token.
Lu Lingzi’s frown deepened when he sensed the information about Yue Dong’s appearance from the jade token.
“I already sent them so far away, but they still came here!”
