Heavenly Human Realm!
The moment these three words were uttered, it was as if a thousand thunderbolts struck the minds of Fu Tianxing and the others. They even wondered if they had heard incorrectly.
"You... What did you say, Heavenly... Heavenly Human Realm?"
Fairy Luoxia's expression was somewhat blank, and her voice even trembled. Cold sweat broke out on her palms at this moment.
Ye Ming simply nodded, looking at her with a smile, and did not offer further explanation.
There was no need for it.
"No... Impossible? How could it be? This... this..."
Fu Tianxing even retreated several steps, his head still buzzing.
As for Xi Yao and Fu Zhantian, they simply looked at Ye Ming as if he were a monster, their eyeballs nearly popping out.
Compared to them, Bu Jianqiu and his daughter appeared quite calm.
The reason was simple: they had no idea what the words "Heavenly Human Realm" meant.
It took nearly a full minute before Fu Tianxing and the others slowly came back to their senses, but their emotions were still difficult to quell.
That was the Heavenly Human Realm!
Although they had never witnessed how terrifying a Great Master of the Heavenly Human Realm could be, from the most basic division of immortal cultivation realms, they understood that it was a true powerhouse.
A being at the very pinnacle of the pyramid.
"Ye... Little Brother Ye, you... you're not trying to scare the powers outside the mortal world, are you?"
Fu Tianxing still found it hard to accept.
This was the only reason he could think of.
"Scare them?" Ye Ming shook his head and chuckled. "Do you think I have any need to do that?"
Upon hearing this answer, Fu Tianxing was unable to refute.
Ultimately, no matter how unbelievable it was, he had to accept it.
"You... Amazing!"
He gave a thumbs-up, which was his last ounce of defiance.
"Sister Luo, you don't have to stare at me anymore!" Ye Ming saw Fairy Luoxia still gazing at him and couldn't help but tease, "I know I'm quite good-looking, but not to the point where you'd be so infatuated, Sister!"
Shameless!
"You..."
This time, the shock in Fairy Luoxia's mind vanished, replaced by a hint of shyness and anger. "You brat, teasing me, are you!"
With that, she gave Nangong Qianyu a look, her lips curving slightly.
The latter immediately understood, and with a jade hand, she swept across Ye Ming's waist, pinching a piece of tender flesh between two fingers.
Just a twist.
"Hiss!"
Ye Ming gasped sharply, his eyes widening. "Let go! Let go, I was wrong, I won't dare again!"
"Hmph!"
Nangong Qianyu snorted, twisting it back and forth twice before releasing him.
"Hahaha!"
This drew a burst of laughter from everyone present.
This also served to ease the tension in a rather unique way.
"Yao'er, let's go!"
Finally, Fairy Luoxia gave Ye Ming a deep look and turned to leave.
"Ah... Master, wait for me!"
Xi Yao immediately followed, waving goodbye to Ye Ming with her back turned. "Brother Ye, may we meet again!"
"Let's go!"
Fu Tianxing patted Ye Ming's shoulder and, after all, cautioned him, "Little Brother, do not underestimate the powers outside the mortal world!"
"I understand, Island Master Fu, you are very kind!"
Ye Ming nodded.
After they all left, the scene returned to tranquility.
"That... that! Qianyu, what realm is the Heavenly Human Realm?"
At this moment, Bu Qingyu, whose curiosity had long been overflowing, could no longer contain herself and asked.
She hadn't had a chance to ask before, and now she could finally find out.
Upon hearing this, Bu Jianqiu also looked over.
"This... this is a bit..."
Nangong Qianyu kindly patted Bu Qingyu's shoulder and said very seriously, "Qingyu, listen to me, it's better for you not to know."
This was a genuine kind reminder.
Some things, if you don't know them, you won't be disheartened.
"Ah! I..."
Bu Qingyu was once again a little bewildered.
"Forget it! I don't want to know anymore!"
Compared to Bu Qingyu, Bu Jianqiu, as her father, was more perceptive.
"Uncle, although I want Heavenly Sword Mountain to subdue the surrounding ancient martial forces, this matter cannot be rushed," Ye Ming sat down and continued. "As you heard from Island Master Fu and the others, the outside world is already stirring. For the safety of your Heavenly Sword Mountain, I will send some people to assist you. It won't be too late to act after they arrive."
"Alright! I'll listen to you!"
Bu Jianqiu nodded, naturally understanding the danger involved.
"Oh, and this is for you!"
Ye Ming waved his hand, and a piece of white jade appeared before Bu Jianqiu. "This is a spatial sound transmission stone. When you return to Heavenly Sword Gate, if any unexpected situation arises, you only need to inject energy into it, and I will be able to sense it and assist you."
"Thank you!"
Bu Jianqiu looked at the jade stone in his hand, the importance of this small item being self-evident.
"Then I have no further concerns."
Bu Jianqiu put away the jade stone and looked at his daughter. "Qingyu, learn properly by Mr. Ye's side, understand?"
"I... I understand."
Bu Qingyu lowered her head, her voice as quiet as a mosquito's hum.
"Hahaha!"
Bu Jianqiu laughed heartily and left upon seeing this.
But as he left, the atmosphere in the room became somewhat heavy.
"Little Sister Qingyu, do you know what Uncle's last words meant?"
Ji Hongying looked at Bu Qingyu, who was still lowering her head and looking at her fingers, her eyes curving into crescent moons as she couldn't help but tease.
"I... I don't know!"
At this point, Bu Qingyu probably dared not look up even more.
"Sister Hongying, how can you bully Qingyu?"
As Bu Qingyu's good friend, Nangong Qianyu naturally had to step forward to help her. She directly put her arm around her. "Qingyu, don't worry, with me here, I absolutely won't let you be 'eaten' by someone."
Someone?
In this setting, it was almost as if she was naming names.
Regarding this, the "someone" also wore a wry smile.
"Alright, Qingyu, don't listen to their nonsense!" Ye Ming looked at Nangong Qianyu helplessly, then said, "Now let's talk about the problem with you!"
When he said the latter sentence, Ye Ming's tone became noticeably serious.
"I..."
Hearing herself mentioned, Bu Qingyu stopped acting like a little ostrich and finally raised her head, daring to face everyone. "What exactly is wrong with me?"
This question had been entwined in Bu Qingyu's heart for over ten years.
Now, she could finally know the truth.
Previously, Ye Ming had already learned about Bu Qingyu's peculiar situation from Nangong Qianyu. Combined with his long-term observation, he was now almost certain.
"Qingyu, before I tell you about your body's condition, you must first understand a type of special person," Ye Ming said, looking at her.
"What special person?"
Bu Qingyu did not show any timidity and directly met Ye Ming's gaze.
Ye Ming then said faintly, uttering a single word:
Ling!
