Mingyue's face flushed, and Ji Shiyou's words.
In her mind, the scene at the bottom of the碧波潭 (Bìbō Tán - Green Wave Pond) reappeared.
Thinking to herself, this method of restoring her body.
Only lasted for a day. To return to normal.
Wouldn't that mean she had to be intimate with Ji Shiyou every day?
How could she leave Ji Shiyou then? This was too much of a scam!
"Is there no other way?"
Mingyue frowned and asked, her face full of reluctance.
"There should be, but we haven't found it yet.
For now, this is the only way, and I'm willing to cooperate.
My body is fine, once a day is no problem."
Ji Shiyou put on a confident demeanor, his eyes filled with teasing.
"Ji Shiyou, what is that look on your face?
Who wants to be with you once a day? You pervert!"
Seeing Ji Shiyou's expression, Mingyue felt a pang of guilt and shouted fiercely, though her voice lacked conviction.
She hadn't expected that Ji Shiyou, who had always presented himself as a dignified gentleman,
would change so much after confessing his feelings to her.
He had become like a scoundrel, with a lewd expression and speaking to her flirtatiously.
So she rushed to the bedside and raised her hand to strike.
"Don't hit me. I'm in your body now.
Hitting me is hitting yourself. I was just joking earlier.
I was just saying whatever came to mind, following your lead. Listen to me.
Do you remember, at the bottom of the 碧波潭 (Bìbō Tán)?
Before we did that, our bodies had already switched back.
So, the method to restore our bodies is definitely not what you're thinking.
It's related to something we did before. Let's recall carefully.
We will definitely find a way to switch back and restore our bodies."
Seeing Mingyue lunging at him, Ji Shiyou shouted.
He dodged and weaved on the bed, but in his heart, he thought.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if their bodies switched back now.
Not only would it resolve the awkwardness of Mingyue ignoring him, but he wouldn't have to worry about Mingyue leaving without a word.
Even though he hadn't won Mingyue's heart, he had at least kept her body.
"Then hurry up and think. Think now.
What did we do before we switched back?"
Thinking about it, Ji Shiyou was right. Ji Shiyou was currently using
her body. Hitting him would be like hitting herself!
Mingyue suddenly stopped, but her anger hadn't subsided.
She shouted loudly, completely unaware.
That the person she was yelling at had, the previous night,
killed the White Tiger Emissary of the Heavenly Dao Sect with a single sword strike and scared the Elder of the Heavenly Sound Sect back home.
Although her cultivation was low, in front of Ji Shiyou,
she could still issue commands, and Ji Shiyou had never resisted.
"As you command, I'll think immediately."
Mingyue's command was not to be disobeyed by Ji Shiyou.
Mingyue also sat on a chair, far away from Ji Shiyou.
Ji Shiyou now gave her a strange feeling, hard to describe.
It was like a docile sheep that was actually a wolf in sheep's clothing.
She felt like he could pounce on her and devour her at any moment.
This was Mingyue's innate sense, but she didn't have time to investigate it further.
She calmed herself and carefully recalled the events at the bottom of the 碧波潭 (Bìbō Tán).
From descending to the bottom of the pond, to fighting with the clam demon Luo Qi.
All the way to collecting the Purple Gold Palace.
And breaking the Charm Pearl with the Sumeru Mustard Technique.
She found no anomalies that seemed related to restoring their soul swap.
Just then, there was a knock on the door from outside.
It was Tian Jian, calling them for breakfast. The two had to put their thoughts aside.
Mingyue was already adept at playing Ji Shiyou.
This time, without any instructions, she switched to Ji Shiyou's mode.
She walked out of the room with a blank expression, while Ji Shiyou entered Mingyue's identity and followed closely behind.
They arrived at the first-floor lobby and saw that people from the Sword Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace were also dining.
Shi Li wasn't eating either, standing beside Gui Zi.
She was still explaining her words from yesterday, while Gui Zi looked indifferent, occasionally retorting.
Seeing the disciples of the Sword Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace keeping their distance,
Ji Shiyou and Mingyue felt awkward about going over to greet them.
They sat at the table with the disciples of the Golden Crow Palace, eating and observing the scene.
After the meal, the three sects left the inn together and headed into the mountains.
At the mountain pass, they saw many people dressed as cultivators gathered there.
There were groups of sect disciples and lone rogue cultivators.
All of them had heard the news of a rare treasure emerging and had rushed from all directions of the Moon Splendor Realm.
Heavenly treasures and earthly wonders depended on fate.
Although their strength was not comparable to the Five Great Sects,
what if they got lucky and found something? Such things were not impossible.
Even if they couldn't obtain the treasure, they could still gain some knowledge and experience.
Which would also be beneficial for their cultivation.
Therefore, the Four Directions Mountain was bustling with cultivators, lively and crowded.
Four Directions Mountain was a mountain range, stretching for a thousand miles.
They were heading to the main peak of Four Directions Mountain, Furong Peak.
Furong Town was located at the entrance to Furong Peak, and it was named after it.
Mingyue looked at the bustling entrance and felt a surge of excitement.
According to Ji Shiyou's account, the rare treasure that was about to emerge was no ordinary item.
It was personally verified by a living immortal, who had even declared.
That this treasure was a major variable for the Moon Splendor Realm.
It would not only enhance the cultivation of practitioners but also change the landscape of the immortal sects in the Moon Splendor Realm.
This was why everyone was flocking to Furong Peak.
The immortal sects of the Moon Splendor Realm were ranked as Three Sects and Two Palaces.
They were the Heavenly Sound Sect, the Heavenly Dao Sect, the Sword Sect, the Golden Crow Palace, and the Hundred Flowers Palace.
These five great sects were powerful, either with deep foundations or with sect leaders of immense cultivation.
They had always dominated the top of the immortal sect rankings, but they did not fully represent the strongest forces in the Moon Splendor Realm.
The complete saying was, Three Sects, Two Palaces, and One Living Immortal.
The "One Living Immortal" mentioned later was that living immortal.
He did not belong to any sect but was a rogue cultivator.
However, he had been famous for two hundred years and was said to be a figure akin to a terrestrial immortal.
This person not only had profound cultivation but was also skilled in astrology and divination.
His predictions of celestial phenomena and auspicious timing were always accurate.
But his whereabouts were elusive, like a dragon that showed its head but not its tail.
He had been unheard of for the past decade or so, and everyone thought he had ascended.
And left the Moon Splendor Realm. Who knew that a month ago.
He suddenly appeared and announced the news of a rare treasure emerging in Four Directions Mountain to the public.
Therefore, from the Five Great Sects to the rogue cultivators,
everyone was flocking to Furong Peak in Four Directions Mountain.
"Brother, I'll be heading ahead with my sect.
When the treasure emerges, I won't go easy on you!"
She Conghu shouted to Mingyue from atop his flying sword.
The entrance was still twenty miles away from Furong Peak.
Shi Li was leading the Sword Sect disciples to fly their swords.
She Conghu had to follow his sect, so he bid farewell to Ji Shiyou.
Mingyue remained silent, waving her hand, implying "Excellent, hurry up and go."
She was really afraid of being pestered by this chatterbox, who might ask all sorts of questions.
It would be easy to expose herself. It was best that he left.
Elder Gui Zi also led the Hundred Flowers Palace disciples, ascending into the sky amidst a shower of flower petals.
"Senior Brother, shall we also fly our swords into the mountain?"
Seeing the Sword Sect and Hundred Flowers Palace people leave, Tian Jian was anxious and came to urge them.
Mingyue was momentarily at a loss for how to answer. Flying swords? She didn't know how!
She wondered if her flying in the pear blossom rain would startle the Golden Crow Palace disciples. As she pondered,
she felt the Yingyue Sword behind her unsheathe and lift her body.
Ji Shiyou appeared in front of her, and she knew it was Ji Shiyou's doing.
With him secretly controlling the Yingyue Sword, she was finally able to relax.
Before she could even order the Golden Crow Palace disciples to enter the mountain, the Yingyue Sword transformed into a streak of light.
And flew towards Furong Peak. Tian Jian and the others immediately followed suit by flying their swords.
The twenty-mile distance was covered in an instant.
Furong Peak was right before their eyes, but as they descended from the air,
they felt sword light flashing and flower petals flying below.
Immediately after, black mist billowed, soaring straight into the sky.
"Not good, demonic cultivators have also come to Furong Peak."
Ji Shiyou's brow furrowed upon seeing the black mist.
