"Hmph, Daddy, why don't I have any?" Xiaobai was unhappy. What was wrong with her dad? To be so generous to this strange woman?
"Huo Huo, what's wrong? You have them too. Daddy has plenty. I'll give them all to you..." The Dragon God, seeing his precious daughter throwing a tantrum, quickly tried to appease her.
"Hmph, Daddy, you're playing favorites. You didn't give me any! Now I'm angry!" Xiaobai felt a sourness in her heart. She had only met them once and they were already doting on her, she might be an annoyance to her daughter!
"Haha, Huo Huo, you are Daddy's darling. Daddy loves you the most, how could he play favorites? Those two will be of great help to you in the future." The Dragon God's heart softened as he watched his precious daughter's childish antics. He had never imagined he would see his living daughter before.
"Huo Huo, stop fooling around." Ju Yin watched Xiaobai with amusement. He took out a glowing pearl from his embrace and tossed it to her.
"Here, I found this in the cave, it's for you!" Ju Yin took out the pearl he had found in the cave of the exotic beast king on Mount Fu and tossed it to her.
"Thank you, sister, it's so beautiful!" Xiaobai was immediately appeased and happy.
"Miss Qu, please excuse me, Huo Huo is spoiled," Ju Yin said with a sigh as he watched Xiaobai run away.
"Fairy Ye, please don't say that. Huo Huo is very cute. Thank you! My brother is slowly recovering." Qu Biyao was still full of gratitude for Fairy Ye saving her brother.
"Your Excellency, since the matter in the secret realm is settled, should we leave now?" Feng Chu suddenly said. He felt that his realm would ascend within half a year.
Chao Yangzi had noticed this long ago. He saw that the cultivation levels and spiritual energy of Feng Chu and Ju Yin's group seemed different, indicating they had encountered fortunate encounters in the secret realm.
"Qing Yang, you can't beat me now. How about it? Do you dare to fight me?" Feng Chu, relying on his immortal spiritual energy, provocatively challenged Chao Yangzi, unafraid of death.
"What is there to fear?" Chao Yangzi had discovered this upon arriving at Mount Fu. The spiritual energy within his body and the immortal spiritual energy of this secret realm were mutually eroding. The immortal spiritual energy was not abundant, but it was very domineering, subtly gaining the upper hand within his body.
"Feng Chu, you can't beat Qing Yang. Qing Yang's body is already slowly converting to immortal spiritual energy," Ju Yin had long seen the difference between Chao Yangzi and Chao Xiangzi.
"What? They haven't been here for long? How can they be so fast? They are simply monsters!" Feng Chu furiously fanned himself.
"It can't be helped, geniuses are always lonely." Chao Yangzi flashed a smile across his handsome face. Chao Yangzi had also bought immortal spiritual stone ore from Tu Yue.
"Hmph! Truly a petty person who has achieved success!" Feng Chu became even more angry. He truly had a natural antipathy towards this odious person!
Suddenly, Qu Biyao's face turned bright red, and her body swayed as if she would fall.
"Cousin, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, your cousin's spiritual energy within her body is fighting with the immortal spiritual energy of this secret realm. I will help her sort it out. Don't worry!" Ju Yin knew what was happening just by looking at Qu Biyao. Her meridians could not withstand the immortal spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy within her body was trying to protect itself, causing the two energies to fight.
Tu Yue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. His cousin's appearance was exactly like the people of his family's ancestors, with surging meridians, and the spiritual energy within her body seemed on the verge of exploding.
It turned out to be because she had absorbed the immortal spiritual energy.
Ju Yin took out two jade pendants, which were containers she had made. They were initially made for Uncle Zhu's family, and she had made two extra, which were now useful. They could absorb the immortal spiritual energy in Qu Biyao's body, and after her body adapted, it would be slowly released, effectively acting as a container for immortal spiritual energy. Qu Biyao and Tu Yue's cultivation levels were still too weak, only at the Nascent Soul mid-stage, and they had not undergone the tribulation to temper their bodies. They could only use this method to alleviate the pull between the two spiritual energies within their bodies.
Tu Yue was filled with gratitude. He was very fortunate to have met Fairy Ye and the others. If they had entered on their own without such treasures, they would have also exploded and died. As soon as he held it, he knew that this jade pendant was already a treasure of a certain grade, yet Fairy Ye had casually given it away.
Feng Chu watched clearly from the side. He would not tell Tu Yue that these two jade pendants were casually made by His Excellency. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss!
"Young Master Tu, the spiritual energy in this secret realm is different from that of the Tianchen Continent. It will not be too late to refine it slowly when your cultivation advances," Feng Chu kindly reminded him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Young Master Feng. I am extremely grateful!"
"No need, no need. Consider it repayment for your kindness in selling me stones," Feng Chu waved his hand.
Tu Yue was choked. Could he regret it? He knew now that the raw stones were immortal spiritual stone ore. He had lost out big time!
"Qing Yin, do you feel any discomfort?" Ju Yin looked at Chao Xiangzi, who had been silent beside him.
"No, Your Excellency, I have adapted," Chao Xiangzi replied quickly upon hearing Ju Yin's concerned words. His Excellency still cared about him.
After a while, Qu Biyao regained consciousness. The group then discussed leaving the secret realm.
"Brother, shall we see if we can find an exit on the way we came?" Ju Yin asked Ji Wu Ye.
"Yes, going up from the waterfall is easier to find than other places." Ji Wu Ye had come down from the waterfall with his sister, and intuitively felt the exit was somewhere around there.
The reason Ju Yin asked her brother was that she was impressed by Ji Wu Ye's intuition, which was more useful than divine sense.
"Hey, can we eat our fill before setting off? I'm starving." The Dragon God couldn't hold back.
"Sister, I'm hungry too." Xiaobai, who had returned from afar, heard her father's words and also wanted to eat.
Chao Yangzi chuckled. He remembered that an hour ago, he had seen the Dragon God gnawing on two chicken legs.
"Alright, then we'll cook and set off after we've eaten our fill." Ju Yin did not hesitate to produce a table, stools, pots, pans, and other items in front of Qu Biyao and Tu Yue. As for inviting them into her space, that was impossible. They were not yet familiar enough to share the secret of her having a space. For now, Tu Yue thought she had taken them out of a spiritual ring.
Qu Biyao didn't think much about it. She had been stunned since she saw Ji Wu Ye. This brother of Fairy Ye looked even more handsome. Although her cousin was also a talented and good-looking man, Young Master Ji's chiseled jawline and deep eyes made Qu Biyao's heart pound.
As early as when her elder sister had deliberately found fault, she had discovered that Young Master Ji was her type. What should she do? Cousin, save me! Your cousin is about to have an affair... No, her cousin and she had a childhood engagement, so she couldn't break her vows. Qu Biyao struggled with the choice.
Long Huohu inadvertently saw Miss Qu staring at Brother Wu Ye. She immediately became unhappy. This odious woman wanted to snatch her father, and now she wanted to snatch her Brother Wu Ye.
She swiftly stood in front of Qu Biyao, staring at her with unfriendly eyes.
Qu Biyao, who was engrossed in staring at Ji Wu Ye, suddenly had her vision blocked and impatiently pushed away the obstacle in front of her.
She only came back to her senses when she found she couldn't move it.
"Huo Huo, why are you blocking me?"
"What are you looking at?" Xiaobai's tone was unfriendly.
"Looking at Young Master Ji!" Qu Biyao blurted out, then covered her mouth in embarrassment as she realized what she had said.
"Good! How dare you have designs on my Brother Wu Ye? He's mine." Xiaobai was furious upon hearing Qu Biyao admit to looking at Ji Wu Ye, but she didn't know why she was so angry...
