Chapter 710: Chapter 8 The Flute of the Rising Tides in the Azure Sea Chapter 710: Chapter 8 The Flute of the Rising Tides in the Azure Sea The two continued to scour the room.
Although the treasures seed plentiful at first glance, they were just piled together concentratedly. If compared to the loot of a whole layer in any other Mysterious Realm, it appeared rather diocre.
The room itself was very small, and right outside the door was the crevice entrance that Zhou Hongyu had opened with the Great Bright Fire, aning the mont the two had stepped through the crevice, they had already fallen into the test of the Illusion Realm.
As for the corridors they had trekked, the cave-in that trapped them, the kisses and embraces, and the sudden chill—those were all the results of the two’s thoughts within the Illusion Realm—no actual physical contact had occurred.
Yan Yu quickly determined that this wasn’t the second layer of a Mysterious Realm at all, but just a “hidden map” within the first layer.
Zhou Hongyu also quickly realized that she hadn’t actually had any physical contact with Yan Yu in reality and imdiately couldn’t help being infuriated.
Does that an I’ve been daydreaming?
“That should be everything,” Yan Yu concluded at last, “Let’s go get the Pingxi Army to take over. Although your Huofeng Team has the priority to pick through these items, I guess there’s nothing really useful… But those dharma thods for calming the mind and focusing the spirit, you guys could try those.”
“Mm,” Zhou Hongyu said, her pretty face icy as she stepped forward.
“Actually, you’re the one who got the main benefit here,” Yan Yu wanted to add jokingly with a laugh, suddenly sensing sothing wrong, “Wait a second, what are you trying to do? I ca to help you get treasures… Mmph!”
Silenced by Zhou Hongyu with a throat-locking spell.
Since all the previous experiences amounted to illusions, she decided to make up for it in reality!
But as fiery as the Phoenix Team captain’s passion was, how could the Pingxi Team captain be easily subdued? The surroundings didn’t impede movent, so when silenced by mouth, he counterattacked with his hands!
Zhou Hongyu didn’t care, even if it hurt when pinched. At most, she twisted her body a few tis, insisting on kissing enough to get even.
Outside it was icy and snowy, but inside, it was as warm as spring. The two tangled through hundreds of rounds, and by the end, it was not purely driven by emotion, but mixed with a lot of thoughts about winning and losing.
I must make the other give in first!
When it ca to a matter of winning or losing, Yan Yu certainly wouldn’t accept defeat. But this was Zhou Hongyu’s ho ground, and he had team mbers worrying about him on his side; how could he possibly endlessly endure here with her?
I’m not admitting defeat; it’s just a temporary cease-fire!
He let out a few muffled noises on his side, struggled for a mont, and Zhou Hongyu readily let him go, her face breaking into a smug smile.
Ha, I won… Is this the first ti I’ve actually beaten Yan Yu?
“Your underwear fell off,” Yan Yu pointed to the ground.
“It doesn’t matter, leave it,” Zhou Hongyu said nonchalantly, “It’s dirty anyway.”
“That won’t do,” Yan Yu picked it up and handed it to Zhou Hongyu, “If the Pingxi Army cos in to scavenge later and finds a piece of underwear on the ground, wouldn’t that be the end of us?”
“I said leave it!” Zhou Hongyu grew irritable, “Consider it a gift to you, take it!”
Yan Yu was instantly amused by her. As expected, even after their feelings had been confird, Hongyu’s nature hadn’t changed, and she was still that hot-headed little Zhou who erupted at the slightest provocation.
But what man would accept underwear as a gift? This thing, if kept in my room’s cabinet, would lead them to flay my skin and pull my bones apart.
“I’ll throw this away for you,” Yan Yu suggested, “But it’s no good as a gift, you have to choose sothing else.”
Zhou Hongyu paused for a mont, removed a red hair tie from her hair:
“Here, it’s for you.”
“This is?” Yan Yu arched an eyebrow, suddenly realizing that every ti he had seen Zhou Hongyu before, she had always tied her hair up with this red tie.
“I got it from my grandma when I was younger,” Zhou Hongyu said.
“But that’s not good,” Yan Yu imdiately protested, “Your grandma gave it to you, I can’t take it.”
“Just take it,” Zhou Hongyu insisted, putting it in his hand, then smiled slightly, “Now you owe a hair tie.”
Yan Yu: …
Cunning! How does taking a hair tie beco owing you?
But it’s good this way; as long as she focuses her attention on , she probably won’t go seeking death so readily as she did in the previous life.
Sigh, for the country, people, and all living beings, my personal sacrifice is too great!
The two left the hidden room and reported to the Military Mansion Cultivators, after which Yan Yu made ready to leave.
Zhou Hongyu wanted to see him out, but Yan Yu was quicker, catching a sword light and disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Before long, Vice-Captain Zhang Huaide also arrived with a team. As the top battle team of the Pingxi Army, he had to be personally present to oversee the tally of the loot, to prevent his own team from missing out on anything good.
“Captain Yan took a flute?”
“Mm,” Zhou Hongyu said indifferently, “Don’t worry about it, I’ve explained it to the higher-ups.”
“Alright,” Zhang Huaide assud that Yan Yu must have known the use of that flute; otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken for it in advance, “What about the other loots?”
“I took a Fire Escape Technique,” Zhou Hongyu replied, “The rest, they’re all in there, take a look yourself.”
“I see,” Zhang Huaide pondered, “So we’re square then.”
The items belonged to the Pingxi Army. If the Huofeng Team didn’t benefit from them, it would an they helped Yan Yu with the upper echelons for nothing, having Zhou help escort the treasure; naturally, that would amount to Yan Yu owing them a favor—with Yan Yu’s current status in Lu Country’s cultivators, that favor was very valuable.
But since Zhou Hongyu had taken the Fire Escape Technique, it beca a situation of each getting what they needed, and there was no longer any question of owing favors.
“Square?” Zhou Hongyu didn’t like the sound of that and subconsciously denied, “No, he owes .”
