Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: Taiyi Mountain Declares War
Taiyi Mountain, lying to the west of Birdsong Forest and adjacent to Divine Dog City, gazes upon Scholar City and Miaoyin City across Biyuan Forest to the northeast and southeast respectively. Birdsong Forest and Biyuan Forest envelop the entirety of Taiyi Mountain in their midst.
In the Demon Sacred Realm, Taiyi Mountain is neither the largest nor the longest, yet it is the most beautiful of all.
Embraced by lush forests, Taiyi Mountain is a mosaic of clear waters, remarkable peaks, secluded valleys, and treacherous ravines, all adding luster to one another.
Streams like strands of sparkling jade twist through the mountain gorges, while lakes shimr like chunks of erald green jade; towering peaks rise up from the earth, and sheer cliffs are a marvel of nature; amidst thick vegetation hide countless paths leading to secret valleys, and within the narrow and obscure gullies, an uncountable number of unique flowers and rare animals can be found.
It is now late sumr, yet the mountain air is as cool as autumn, with greenery layered upon greenery, gushing springs and cascading waterfalls, ancient trees stretching to the sky, vines intertwined, and a proliferation of flowers creating a stunningly beautiful scene.
Where the sunlight touches the layered waterfalls, whether it be a trickle or a plunge from the ninth heaven, it’s as if they give birth to a rainbow mist, both real and illusory, resembling an Immortal Realm.
That evening, in the twisted anders of Yulong Stream, a small bamboo raft floated gently downstream.
Aboard the raft, a man and woman stood with arms spread wide, swaying left and right as the raft bobbed in the stream’s current, appearing quite dangerous, yet both were laughing joyfully, their bell-like laughter echoing through the valley.
These two people were Qin Sisi and Ye You. After leaving the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, Ye You brought Qin Sisi to the secret base they had built in the dark with the Panhu family.
The entire base was divided into two parts: one part was the caves on the mountainside, and the other was the wooden houses at the foot of the mountain.
There were many caves of various sizes in many mountains of Taiyi Mountain. With just a bit of refurbishing, they could beco very suitable temporary dwellings.
The Panhu family’s leadership, including the Clan Leader, as well as so of the weaker, non-combatant mbers, all resided on the mountain. The brothers Yun Wang and Yun Cheng led the bulk of the troops living in the wooden houses at the mountain’s base, which was conducive to scouting the surroundings and also convenient for practicing magic nearby.
Qin Sisi and Ye You’s dwelling was on a very tall but narrow mountain. Within the mountain, there was a cave about one hundred square ters in size, connected to several smaller ones around twenty to thirty square ters each—caves within a cave—making it very quiet and ensuring privacy.
On their first day of arrival, Ye You removed his outer robe and shirt, lying on the bed in just his trousers, and with a hook of his finger, he said to Qin Sisi, "Co and sleep with ."
Qin Sisi flushed, looking down she replied: "In your dreams. I’ll sleep in another cave."
"Why go to another cave? Haven’t we always slept together before?"
Qin Sisi glared at him: "Before, you were just a cat."
"I can still be a cat now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling light flashed over Ye You’s body. When the light had faded, his tall figure had vanished, replaced by a complacent black cat lounging on the bed, its purple eyes slightly squinting and looking at Qin Sisi with a charming "ow."
Qin Sisi watched, dumbfounded, her speech stuttered: "You, you... hasn’t your curse been lifted already?"
Ye You had Qin Sisi sit beside him and explained, "I don’t know why, but although the curse has indeed been lifted, during the night, if I wish, I can still transform into a cat."
Qin Sisi stared incredulously at Ye You, who now possessed the ability to transform. It was unbelievably fantastical.
Ye You looked at her and asked, "Do you prefer
as a human or as a cat?"
Qin Sisi thought and thought, but couldn’t co up with an answer. As a human, Ye You held her, but as a cat, she held Ye You—both feelings actually felt pretty good.
Ye You blinked, and said softly, "Let’s do it this way then. I don’t want to sleep separately from you, but together, I’m afraid I won’t be able to control myself. Being a cat might be a bit better."
With a blush on her face, Qin Sisi slowly lay down next to Ye You, holding his small and soft body in her arms.
It was as if ti had regressed to the distant past, when his curse had not yet been encountered, and she was still very weak.
As ti passed, things changed, but fortunately, their hearts remained as steadfast as ever, never changing.
After settling down in Taiyi Mountain, Ye You quickly discussed with Pu Chen and drafted a declaration of war, which was promptly made public to the world.
The declaration harshly condemned Tian Xiaozi’s cris, his honeyed words and a dagger in his cloak, winning the trust of the forr Sage Ruler, then using treacherous sches to murder the brother and seize the throne, casting a curse on His Royal Highness to transform him into a cat, tortured with ill fate; after that, he secretly slaughtered the loyal and good, and even killed his own wife, Ya Ning.
How could such a heartless and utterly wicked person be allowed to beco the Sage Ruler of the Demon Sacred Realm?
The tone then shifted, proclaiming that after overcoming hardships, His Royal Highness Ye You finally broke the curse and returned safely, to ensure that Tian Xiaozi, full of evil deeds, is punished for his actions, restoring peace to the Demon Sacred Realm.
At the sa ti, the declaration also invited the Clan Leaders of The Eight Great Families to gather at Taiyi Mountain, calling for The Nine Great Families to unite, join forces, and together defeat Tian Xiaozi.
The ti set for the gathering was the fifteenth of September, three days from today.
The source of Yulong Stream is the snow accumulation atop Hidden Cloud Peak, which is the main peak of Taiyi Mountain. As it flows down, it gathers other small streams, winding down from the summit to finally pour into Clear Lake at the base of the mountain.
After a day of practicing magic, Ye You and Qin Sisi went down the mountain on a bamboo raft, bravely navigating the swift currents, experiencing the joy and thrill of the ride.
Eventually, the bamboo raft followed Yulong Stream into Clear Lake, where its speed slowed. Qin Sisi sighed in relief, patted her rapidly beating chest, turned to Ye You, and smiled radiantly.
Ye You, smiling, teasingly flicked her cute nose and pulled her to sit with him on the bamboo raft.
The sun was tilting westward, the colored sunset light shining on their snuggling figures, edging their white and black clothing with a layer of gold.
The couple shared tender smiles and whispers, sitting quietly embraced, indulging in the peacefulness of the mont.
However, they both knew that this tranquil and beautiful ti would soon pass.
With the convening of the eting of The Nine Great Families, the Demon Sacred Realm was about to face a war that would stir the winds and clouds.
The sky gradually darkened, Ye You released his magic power to conjure a pair of translucent wings on his back and flew ashore holding Qin Sisi, then used Wood Attribute Magic Power to form a vine, pulling the bamboo raft ashore and stored it in his Portable Space without effort.
If Qin Sisi liked it, he would try his best to accompany her for such adventures whenever possible.
Hand in hand, the two returned to their cave dwelling only to discover an uninvited guest inside. Qin Sisi’s expression changed slightly, and she instinctively broke free from Ye You’s hand.
