The Golden Crow Immortal's true form could traverse a thousand miles in an instant. After taking to the sky, she transformed into her true form.
Ming Yue, utterly bewildered, was carried on her back.
With a flap of her wings, they left the vicinity of Sifang Mountain.
It had taken Ji Shiyou and his companions nearly half a month to travel that distance.
She returned to the Golden Crow Palace in the time it takes an incense stick to burn.
The Golden Crow Palace was situated atop Mount Wuliang, the highest peak in the Moonflower Realm.
Perpetually shrouded in mist, it appeared as though.
A magnificent palace, faintly visible amidst the clouds.
The Golden Crow Immortal, carrying Ming Yue, swooped down from high in the sky.
She landed on the plaza before the Golden Crow Palace, then reverted to human form.
"Wow! Wow! Wow!
Where is this? It's simply, simply too rich!"
All the way, Ming Yue's heart had been filled with unease.
She didn't know why the Golden Crow Immortal had abducted her.
But she had a premonition that the Golden Crow Immortal meant her no harm.
So she hadn't considered escaping, intending to ask for clarification once they landed.
But upon seeing the palace before her, she forgot everything.
Having never been educated, her vocabulary was limited, and she could only exclaim in awe.
Her sole adjective was "rich."
For her, a money-grubber, "rich" was the highest praise for anything.
The palace before her was resplendent, covering an area of over ten mu.
Its walls were built with golden bricks, and its doors and windows were carved from jade.
The paths were paved with emeralds, and pearls, agate, and coral gems served as decorations.
The brilliance was so dazzling that Ming Yue couldn't open her eyes. The Purple Gold Palace she had obtained at the bottom of the Azure Wave Pond.
Compared to the palace before her, it was utterly insignificant.
This made her, a devoted money-grubber, fall in love with the place instantly.
"Sister, this is the Golden Crow Palace. From now on, it's our home."
The Golden Crow Immortal looked at Ming Yue and said gently.
"Golden Crow Immortal, my name is Ming Yue.
Given your age and status, how can you call me sister?"
Although Ming Yue found it pleasant to hear the Golden Crow Immortal call her sister,
She still inquired out of curiosity and introduced herself politely.
"Of course, I know your name is Ming Yue, Sister. I am Bao Bao, Sister!
The little sparrow, do you remember?
She was so tall, dark, and scrawny.
That ugly girl covered in freckles, do you remember?
What you said back then was right, you said that girls change as they grow, becoming more beautiful with age.
Sister, look, haven't I become prettier?
Sister, why have you come to this world?
Do you miss me and have come to this world to see me?
I have cultivated diligently all these years.
My only goal was to ascend to the Heavenly Realm and return to find you.
Legend says that once one ascends to the Heavenly Realm, they can travel through time and space.
They can visit other worlds, and then I can return to see you and everyone else.
Sister, how did you get here? Where is Brother-in-law?
And what about Ba Jiu? These past few years, besides missing you.
My greatest longing has been for him, and are Brother Wen and the others doing well?
Sister, let me tell you.
You've changed your appearance now. If you hadn't transformed me into a Witch Clan bloodline back then.
And if we weren't connected by blood, I wouldn't have recognized you today, and we would have missed each other.
Sister, do you remember? Who am I?"
The Golden Crow Immortal, who was hundreds of years old, seemed like a child in front of Ming Yue.
Excitedly, she gestured and spoke. Ming Yue grew more and more confused.
"Bao Bao?"
Hearing the Golden Crow Immortal ask her, Ming Yue replied hesitantly.
"That's right, Sister, you remember?"
Hearing Ming Yue utter her name, the Golden Crow Immortal excitedly embraced her.
"Wait, you were the one who said you are Bao Bao.
I still don't understand what you just said. I am not your sister.
I have other matters to attend to. My family is waiting for me to eat.
仙子 is busy, so I won't intrude.
Farewell!"
Ming Yue felt a sense of fear. Was this Golden Crow Immortal mentally unstable?
Ji Shiyou was not by her side, and she wanted to leave this place.
So, she found a clumsy excuse and timidly pushed the Golden Crow Immortal away.
She intended to leave immediately and flee down the mountain.
"Alas, it seems Sister didn't come to see me. She must have entered reincarnation.
And been reborn into the Moonflower Realm, losing her memories of her past life.
Alright, let's go inside.
I will slowly tell Sister about our past."
The Golden Crow Immortal sighed and pulled the slowly retreating Ming Yue into the Golden Crow Palace.
This Golden Crow Immortal was indeed Bao Bao, the little sparrow.
Back in the apocalypse, Bao Bao had been captured and killed by Xuan Ming.
She was supposed to self-detonate her soul with Ming Yue to stop Xuan Ming from destroying the world.
Ming Yue, unable to bear Bao Bao's soul being scattered, used her moonlight to protect Bao Bao as she entered reincarnation.
That moonlight was a gift from Ji Shiyou during the Primordial Era, the essence of the Moon Palace.
Under its protection, Bao Bao's soul underwent reincarnation.
Preserving all her memories from her past life, essentially a rebirth in another world.
She arrived in the Moonflower Realm and was reborn as a Golden Crow.
With her memories of her past life intact, she cultivated for a hundred years before transforming into human form.
By chance, she joined the Golden Crow Sect.
She cultivated diligently because of a legend in the Moonflower Realm:
That by cultivating to a certain level, one could ascend to the Heavenly Realm.
Becoming a true immortal, capable of traversing time and space.
Then she could return to the apocalypse, because ever since she arrived here.
She had been constantly missing her sister, Ming Yue.
Missing Ba Jiu and everyone at Ming Yue's base.
She wanted to go back, to play with Ba Jiu in the farmland below the base.
To eat the meals cooked by Ji Shiyou himself, and she even missed the man-eating plant at the entrance of the base.
That's why, years ago, when she heard a five or six-year-old boy claiming to be Ji Shiyou.
She unhesitatingly brought him back to the Golden Crow Palace and took him as her disciple.
It was because of this name that in her past life memories.
It was her brother-in-law's name, connected to her sister.
Today, she went to Furong Peak, and after killing Diao Shou, she landed on the ground.
She felt the Witch Clan bloodline within her, which had been calm for a long time, surge violently.
It was her sister's presence. At that moment, she was overjoyed.
Although Ming Yue had changed her appearance, their bloodlines were the same and connected, so there was no mistake.
Therefore, she assumed that Ming Yue must have missed her.
And had come to the Moonflower Realm to find her. Because in her heart, her sister.
Was omnipotent and capable of anything.
So she hastily gave Ji Shiyou a few instructions and brought Ming Yue back to the Golden Crow Palace for a reunion.
The result was completely different from what she had imagined. Ming Yue had simply reincarnated.
She hadn't come to see her intentionally, and remembered nothing.
And was even trying to escape. How could that be allowed?
The Golden Crow Immortal, having finally reunited with Ming Yue, would not let her leave.
If she couldn't remember, then she would tell her.
Thus, the Golden Crow Immortal forcefully brought Ming Yue into the Golden Crow Palace.
Then she recounted everything she knew from her past life, from beginning to end.
"Sister, do you understand now?"
The Golden Crow Immortal took a sip of tea. She had spoken for two hours and her throat was dry.
"It's a very nice story, and I enjoyed listening to it.
But Immortal, I am just a greedy little tree spirit.
I merely share the same name as your sister, and am not the same person at all.
I am not your sister, Immortal. I will take my leave now."
Ming Yue listened intently, but she was truly just listening to a story.
She simply didn't believe she was the person in the story.
Because they were too different, with no similarities whatsoever.
In the Golden Crow Immortal's description, her sister named Ming Yue.
Was a powerful cultivator, decisive and ruthless.
She could lead everyone to survive in the apocalypse, and there was no problem she couldn't solve.
Whereas she herself was of low cultivation, timid in personality, indecisive, and easily swayed.
The two had no resemblance at all, they couldn't possibly be the same person.
Therefore, she stood up, bowed to the Golden Crow Immortal, and bid farewell.
"Greedy?
Sister, as long as you stay here with me.
All the treasures in the Golden Crow Palace's treasury will be yours.
You must know, the Golden Crow Palace is the wealthiest immortal sect in the Moonflower Realm.
Its gold, silver, and jewels are enough to rival a nation, and its magical treasures and weapons are countless."
Seeing that her efforts to persuade her sister were in vain,
And that she insisted on leaving, the Golden Crow Immortal felt anxious.
Hearing Ming Yue call herself greedy, she quickly shouted.
She thought that no matter what, she had to keep her sister here first.
Everything else could be discussed later.
"Sister Bao Bao, are you telling the truth?"
This tactic was incredibly effective. As soon as the Golden Crow Immortal finished speaking.
Ming Yue, who had already reached the doorway, quickly turned around, her face filled with sisterly affection.
