In the cave dwelling, Hua Miaochai looked at ng Yu with pitiable eyes and shrank into the corner.
She was afraid ng Yu would hit her.
Being hit was very painful, especially in her heart; it proved she had done sothing wrong, like the ti Bai Qianqian had hit her several tis, crying in anger while scolding her for being so stupid and foolish!
"You actually followed a flower demon you've only known for a few days, aren't you afraid of being eaten by others!"
"You see soone pitiful and you save them, do you know the consequences?"
"Look, if I hadn't co quickly, you would have already beco a thesis defense!"
Flower demons mature slowly, and being raised by Bai Qianqian, a severe beating wasn't scary, but the terrible things that happened made her beco a hobody.
ng Yu stared hard at Hua Miaochai for several minutes, making her heart pound erratically.
Today, ng Yu's scolding was actually not wrong; that is, if she had followed the rules and not attended the gathering on her own but remained at the array's control point, the incident with Song Wuqiu wouldn't have happened, as ng Yu had repeatedly emphasized the rule that six people must not be present at the sa ti.
"Do you still rember the Eternal Cycle Divine Technique I passed on to you? Have you mastered it?"
"I have."
Previously, Bai Qianqian had required everyone to practice a certain ntal thod for playing dead, but only Hua Miaochai had perfected it to the point where she could play dead and be put into a storage bag. However, this was not enough, and ng Yu subsequently introduced another Cultivation Technique, the Eternal Cycle Divine Technique.
This was a Cultivation Technique that plant-based mbers of the Demon Race found easy to practice. Hua Miaochai picked it up quickly and, in ng Yu's words, the difference between this technique and the previous one was that the forr required the power of the Golden Core and the activation of Bloodline Divine Abilities, but once seriously injured, it would be ineffective. The Eternal Cycle Divine Technique, however, allowed one to avoid this issue, enabling entry into a state of suspended animation even with a breath's life left.
"I need you to do sothing, and whatever happens next, unless I agree, whether it's for a few days, a few months, or a few years, you must keep it secret and swear never to reveal it, pledging on your honor, your everything."
"I, Hua Miaochai, swear on my demon honor that no matter what Ah Yu does to , I will never reveal it, nor will I have any complaints."
"Good, rember your promise."
After Bai Qianqian joined the Immortal Sect, she began to prepare a secret healing facility. Ti passed at different rates there—one hundred to one—which ant that if Hua Miaochai and the others were severely injured on this side, they could enjoy the highest level of dical care in the Immortal Sect and take their ti healing.
Essentially, it gave those who had perfected the Eternal Cycle Divine Technique an almost infinite lifeline, as long as they didn't die!
"Ah Yu, are you going to take with you to your side?"
Suddenly, Hua Miaochai asked this.
"Yes."
For a long ti, ng Yu had used various thods, such as the necessity to activate the Teleportation Array to travel with Bai Qianqian, and such visits were rare, most of them not even disclosed to everyone. However, as the controller of the Long River Nine Bends Array, Hua Miaochai knew much more than others.
"Brother ng, I won't go."
Hua Miaochai firmly shook her head, "The great battle is about to begin. If I go, who will control the Long River Nine Bends Array, who…"
"You're afraid I'll run away, aren't you?"
ng Yu suddenly asked this.
"No, that's not what I an. We are the ones who have wronged you. I just... I just don't want to leave everyone. There are many good friends here... wuu wuu wuu."
Suddenly, Hua Miaochai burst into tears.
Alright, another crybaby. Bai Qianqian used to beat her while crying herself.
"Do you trust ?"
ng Yu reached out his hand, grasping Sister Hua's soft hand.
"Mhm."
"Alright, stop crying and co with . Let's go welco Qian Qian back."
"Mhm."
She nodded, and then, fell into a deep sleep.
…
Immortal Sect, Qingfeng Star, one month later.
ng Yu woke the sleeping Hua Miaochai.
Bringing Hua Miaochai to the Immortal Sect did not an he was going to hand her over to Bai Qianqian right away. ng Yu strictly adhered to his own rules, taking the sleeping Hua Miaochai out and placing her there. After a one-month cooling-off period, he finally woke her up.
"We are going to see Qian Qian. She has a way to cure your illness, and don't worry about things here, I've already sent three Golden Core Experts to help oversee the bigger picture. They are very capable, nothing will go wrong."
"Really?"
"Really, but from now on, you'll have to be mute. Rember, don't speak a word to anyone except and Qian Qian, understand?"
ng Yu stroked Hua Miaochai's head.
Saying that Golden Core Experts were in charge was to settle her mind so she wouldn't worry, and telling her not to speak was because she was nearing the mastery of ng Yu's core secrets.
The Ti series.
Although ng Yu was also preparing to sell this trump card at a good price, only he could have control over it.
"Actually... Yu Paopao and the fox, they are sincere."
Hua Miaochai suddenly said this.
"Ah?"
"The Mountain Stronghold is unsustainable, we all know that. When you went to bury Song Wuqiu, we had a eting. Everyone decided not to leave. It's just that we feel sorry for you and want to offer you a little compensation."
"Ah?"
ng Yu was stunned for a mont. What had he missed?
"Everyone is about to die in battle, so let it all go. Plus, if you leave, we won't look down on you. You've done well enough."
"Ah?"
"Ah Yu, there aren't three Golden Cores, are there?"
Hua Miaochai smiled sadly.
It was simple. If there were Golden Cores or support, Bai Qianqian would have returned as soon as the Sky-splitting Sword Sect's army approached. Golden Cores and even Nascent Souls would have co, too. There would have been no need for battle or to strike out—a stroll or two and showing their presence would have been enough to shatter the enemy's morale. Instead, everyone had been holed up like turtles, engaged in warfare for over half a year, believing that ng Yu had no reinforcents, just bluffing bravely.
"Qian Qian, has sothing happened?"
She continued to ask.
"She's fine. What are you worried about?"
"A month has passed."
Her smile grew even more sorrowful.
Being a Golden Core, just like Bai Qianqian, even if she had entered a state where feigned death beca real, upon awakening, she could discern the passage of ti.
"More than a month has slipped away, Brother ng, I'm grateful to you. You brought here, and everything is safe. But in truth, I wanted to stay. It was just that they said, if I didn't go, you wouldn't leave either. So if this happened, they wanted to accompany you. They would die battling at the Moon-Watching Sect. I thought... you would bring to Qian Qian to apologize, then have her co back..."
Tears stread down her face as she cried deeply and sadly.
"Slap!"
Suddenly, ng Yu lost his cool, forcefully pushed her down, and started spanking her fiercely.
"You idiots!"
At this mont, ng Yu was truly driven mad by their actions.
How did Yang Xiu die?
Acting like they knew everything, conspiring without informing their lord!
You know it all, you act all secretive like so riddlers, even exchanging glances and displaying knowing smirks like aunties, just like Song Wuqiu,
Speaking of Song Wuqiu, ng Yu felt a surge of irritation. You could have severely injured , even killed , and I wouldn't have been as upset. You'll see if you can kill then!
You could have turned tail and run, to see if I could catch you in ten or eight years and make you suffer.
But you cleanly chose to end your life!
Ending it like so riddle-master!
Slap after slap landed on Hua Miaochai's buttocks, but the pitiful Flower Demon didn't resist. The more ng Yu hit her, the angrier he beca. Just as he was about to give her a serious lecture, a sweet voice sounded from behind him.
"What's wrong, Ah Yu? Why are you bullying Huahua?"
It was Bai Qianqian. Upon hearing her, ng Yu nearly flipped out!
"You, get down too. It's ti for so family discipline!"
Suddenly, ng Yu felt as though sothing inside him had shattered.
Enough with these country lasses playing with . Bringing you along is just too exhausting.
There were the perverts, the riddlers, those obsessed with marriage, the self-righteous ones… Even the rabbit wasn't good; she was definitely peering through the window for a long ti, watching hit her good friend, without saying a word, until the end!
You Female Golden Cores sure know how to play!
...
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah?"
As Bai Qianqian listened to ng Yu recounting the events at the Moon-Watching Sect, her face grew increasingly pale. Of course, ng Yu conveniently omitted his love story with Song Wuqiu, as that was just a trifle.
"Dear, you rest. I'll continue."
Bai Qianqian, trembling with anger, took out a large white radish.
While four months had passed for ng Yu's side, it had only been a little over a month for Bai Qianqian's. The situation had turned into this ss, with her husband even planning to bring Hua Miaochai over for treatnt!
Don't underestimate this detail. It ant that her husband was prepared to expose his most crucial secret. If this information leaked out, the Immortal Sect might very well seek to eliminate ng Yu.
The Immortal Sect thought they were opening up to import resources. Who would have thought that the adversary was busy building military capabilities, ready to invade at any mont? Without aircraft carriers, everyone can be friends. But as soon as you can pull out ten aircraft carriers to blockade your door, that changes the whole situation.
These pigheaded teammates!
And then there was her own mistake. She really hadn't expected Song Wuqiu to be such a scumbag too!
But still… her death was a bit suspicious, wasn't it? It felt like sothing was missing. Why did she spare ng Yu?
"Also, I told her that I sent three Golden Cores to help, but she wouldn't believe . She thought I was lying. Sigh, I'm so disheartened... really, sigh..."
ng Yu sighed in frustration.
"Smack."
Bai Qianqian brought the radish down on Hua Miaochai's buttocks.
"You actually don't believe your lord? Why would he lie to you? There's no issue whatsoever at the Moon-Watching Sect; he really sent help. Are Golden Cores that rare? Do you know how many Golden Cores I see every day, how many want to go there for a vacation? I'm not worried at all, so what are you afraid of?"
Finally, Hua Miaochai's expression relaxed.
She looked at ng Yu, embarrassed and pitiful.
