Chapter 190 Trip to Qingqiu
Wen Fuyue was caught in a dilemma. She wanted to accompany Mu Yunjian to Qingqiu, but she was also worried that Yun Yici and the other two might encounter some unexpected situation if they stayed in the Ling Clan and she couldn't take care of them.
Not to mention Shen Huaichuan, who has lost all his spiritual power.
The Emperor summoned him to the Moon Worship Ceremony, and he wanted to go, but the allure of the Moon Worship Ceremony paled in comparison to the temptation of being able to openly and legitimately escape the allure of Muyun.
Mu Yunjian's unusual concern for Yun Yici was too much of an eyesore.
Seeing that the emperor had not agreed to the decree for a long time, Li Ji took the initiative to speak up: "I have not been out of town for more than two hundred years in Jiuqi City. I am thinking of going out for a walk during this Moon Worship Festival."
“You can come with me to Qingqiu. You don’t need to worry about revealing your identities or about safety.”
“There are some opportunities that you in the human realm don’t have. For you human cultivators, this is a chance that you can only come up with once in a while.”
“If Fellow Daoist Di Zhao has nothing else to do, you may come with us. There’s no rush to return to the human realm once the teleportation array is repaired.”
Wen Fuyue quickly stood up and bowed to Li Ji: "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Li Ji."
The emperor knew that Li Ji's words had wasted another good opportunity to shake off Mu Yunjian.
He snorted coldly and said nothing more, which meant he acquiesced.
With the trip to Qingqiu finalized, Yun Yici was filled with worry. What could Shen Huaichuan do?
Should we go to Qingqiu with them?
Before she could figure it out, several days passed in the blink of an eye, and the resetting of the Ling Clan's treasures was finally completed.
The teleportation array that Ling Wan destroyed in a fit of anger miraculously returned to its original state before it was destroyed.
Besides Emperor Zhaowen and Fuyue, Li Ji and Shi Tian were extremely concerned about repairing the teleportation array.
After all, Ling Wan destroyed the teleportation array, which meant that Shi Tian's father might never be able to return through it again.
So everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the teleportation array was repaired.
Li Ji even dispatched demon cultivators from Jiuqi City to guard the teleportation array, absolutely forbidding any more demons from destroying it.
Before leaving, Li Ji took Shi Tian back to Jiuqi City with her and gave him a crash course in the basics of city lordship.
That way, when she returns, Jiuqi City will have been completely ruined by that spendthrift Shitian.
Li Ji also invited Di Zhao and Wen Fuyue and their disciples to visit Jiuqi City.
Wen Fuyue naturally refused. Mu Yunjian and Shi Tian were at odds, and once they arrived in Jiuqi City, Shi Tian would have plenty of opportunities to trip them up.
Actually, the Moon Worship Festival in Qingqiu is said to last for more than a month, but the journey itself takes almost half a month.
So it wasn't long before it was time to set off.
Yun Yici was still wondering if her little spirit boat would be big enough to hold all the passengers.
Emperor Zhao only took Li Shao with him. He left Xue Lian and Hei Lian in the Ling Clan to guard their territory. As for the Transformation Grass that the two demons had been longing for, Emperor Zhao got it for them.
Then there are the five of them, master and disciples, plus Shen Huaichuan and Wannian.
That makes nine people. If you include Li Ji, that makes ten. Her spirit boat is packed to capacity.
Unexpectedly, when Li Ji arrived, she startled Yun Yici.
A giant spirit boat, capable of holding a hundred people, came riding the wind from the clouds, its sails adorned with an intricate pattern.
After Huai Chuan explained, Yun Yi Ci realized that the pattern was actually the ancient demonic script for the character "nine," representing the city of Jiuqi.
The spirit boat was very sturdy, and its exterior craftsmanship was in no way inferior to that of spirit boats in the human world.
The spirit boat was anchored at sea. Li Ji came out from the inner room, dismissed her attendants, and personally waited for them to board the boat.
The emperor's edict was issued first, followed closely by Wen Fuyue, while Yun Yici and the others followed behind Wen Fuyue.
Li Ji had already arranged for their lodgings to be prepared.
Besides them, there were also many enchantresses and attendants serving on the boat.
The person who led Yunyi away from the room was a beautiful young girl dressed in a light blue dress.
She walked ahead and said with a smile, "If you need anything, please feel free to tell me. My name is Xiaoqing."
Xiaoqing?
Yun Yici asked curiously, "Do you have an older sister?"
Xiaoqing turned around and smiled, "Our clan has multiple eggs in one litter, so naturally there are older sisters."
Huai Chuan warned, "Her true form is likely a venomous snake, and her strength should be at the Golden Core stage. Be careful of her poison."
Li Ji's original form was a coiled mountain python, and ordinary snakes could only serve her.
Yun Yici dared not be naughty anymore and obediently followed Xiaoqing to her room.
Upon entering, Yun Yici was stunned.
Inside is a huge room with a view of the sea and sky. It's not a small window that opens outwards, but a lattice window that looks like an open pavilion, where you can see the white clouds in the sky and the azure sea in the distance.
The room was very spacious, about four times the size of the room she used to live in the Ling tribe.
The bed was large and soft, with sheer curtains hanging around it. The woman's dressing table was filled with all kinds of ornaments and makeup powders, and the wardrobe was full of all kinds of women's clothing.
Xiaoqing asked, "Would you prefer me to stay in the room with you, or wait outside and call me when you need me?"
Yun Yici: "I'll call you again if I need anything."
Yun Yici had never been served by anyone, so it would have been strange for an unfamiliar person to be standing in her room.
Seeing that Xiaoqing had gone out, Yun Yici was worried that Xiaoqing would really stand outside waiting for her instructions, so she quickly told her, "You don't need to wait outside, I'm fine."
After watching Xiaoqing leave, Yun Yici strolled around the room at her own pace.
She walked to the open lattice window and looked at the vast sea of clouds, feeling her heart expand and her mood improve.
Yun Yici sat cross-legged, letting the gentle breeze caress her face, feeling all her troubles disappear.
Taking advantage of the situation, the system said, "Since you're in such a good mood, how about we try our luck with a prize draw?"
Yun Yici: "Am I complaining that life is too easy or what?"
Yun Yici increasingly felt that the system had a touch of mysticism about it.
Rewards drawn from the system are a mixed bag; the conclusion is, don't rely entirely on the system.
Thinking of this, Yun Yici remembered something very important.
"Didn't I get a love-at-first-sight halo before? It's been so long, is it still effective?"
When this was mentioned, the system chuckled and said, "Anyway, there's still a month to go on the road, and it might expire when we get to Qingqiu."
Yun Yici didn't believe it for a second. Who knew if the next person with good fortune would be male or female? She might be forced to become a scumbag woman.
Yun Yici originally wanted to try to get the system to draw a reward that could offset the Love at First Sight halo, but she was afraid that she would make things worse and draw an enhanced version of the Noob Halo.
As they struggled with their decision, darkness gradually fell, and the luminous pearls used for lighting in the room lit up one after another, illuminating the room with a soft glow.
Just then, Yun Yici suddenly heard Xiaoqing calling from outside the door, saying that the Snake Mother was holding a banquet and invited her to attend.
Yun Yici had been sitting facing the sea of clouds all afternoon and was in high spirits when she quickly opened the door and followed Xiaoqing to the place where Li Ji was holding a banquet to entertain guests.
