Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law
Chapter 446 - 444: In the Northern Territory, Someone from the Nine Nether Realm? Let Youluo Come, Youluo with the Super Sweet Little Mouth?
When Qin Qingqing finally received this message, half an hour had already passed.
Taking out the Communication Jade Token, and finishing listening, Qin Qingqing was so shocked that she abruptly stood up.
"What?! Someone, after passing through the Celestial Wolf Race’s territory, claims to be Lu Yan?!"
In an instant, Qin Qingqing felt the hazy drunkenness in her mind dissipate for the most part.
The phrase "claims to be Lu Yan" kept circling through her thoughts incessantly.
"Princess, what are you saying, Lu Yan?" The elder Mountain, who had been accompanying Qin Qingqing, spoke up: "Is it the same Lu Yan from the Human Race who just recently climbed the Demon Saint Stele?"
"It should be... him!" Qin Qingqing’s eyes suddenly became excited as she said, "Elder Mountain, let’s go to that territory and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Elder Mountain nodded and immediately left with Qin Qingqing.
...
When Qin Qingqing arrived here, two guards promptly knelt to greet her.
"Greetings, Princess!"
"That’s enough, no need for formalities. Tell me, what exactly is going on?!" Qin Qingqing, who had just arrived, waved her hand and immediately asked.
Upon hearing the inquiry, the two Celestial Wolf Race guards dared not conceal anything.
They quickly recounted the previous events in detail from beginning to end.
After listening, Qin Qingqing was somewhat taken aback.
In the earlier communication, the two Celestial Wolf Race guards didn’t explain the situation in great detail.
They merely said that a person named Lu Yan had passed through the territory and left behind... a message claiming he was Lu Yan.
It wasn’t until Qin Qingqing arrived that they recounted all the words Lu Ye had previously left behind.
Thus, after listening, Qin Qingqing became puzzled, about what Lu Yan meant by deserved consequences...
She couldn’t recall any instances of offending him.
"No, since he said that, there must be some meaning behind it..."
In an instant, Qin Qingqing thought of a possibility, and couldn’t help but feel her breath becoming slightly rapid.
During this month or two, she remembered clearly. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Since last time she was tied up by that mysterious person and had taken a beating, Qin Qingqing was intent on finding that person.
Moreover, she hadn’t made a move against anyone else.
And Lu Yan is of the Human Race, so if she offended anyone...
It would only be that instance, where the mysterious person beat her up and was later searched for by the Celestial Wolf Race?!
This time, he happened to make her lift the search on the Celestial Wolf Race’s territory.
Thus...
"Lu Yan, who climbed the Demon Saint Stele... is he the mysterious person who beat me up?!"
Upon this thought, Qin Qingqing was completely dumbfounded, standing amid the night breeze.
She never imagined the person she had been searching for months suddenly transformed into the newly emerged first place on the Demon Saint Stele List.
In an instant, complex emotions appeared in Qin Qingqing’s eyes.
"No wonder I thought he looked a bit familiar."
Gritting her teeth, Qin Qingqing seemed to see the scene of various whippings from that day.
After pondering for a moment, she spoke out: "Lift it, lift it! From today onwards, all checkpoints of the Celestial Wolf Race will be dismantled."
Since that mysterious figure is Lu Yan, so powerful, there’s no need for any checkpoints.
...
On the other side.
Having quickly left the Demon Saint Province, Lu Ye returned to the Northern Territory after a short while.
Back in the Northern Territory, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and prepared to go to the cave he had found for Jiang Qingge.
But after the time it takes for a cup of tea, he encountered a slightly peculiar-looking cultivator on the way.
The appearance was of Human Race, yet they seemed slightly different, possessing a somewhat indescribable feeling.
Suddenly, a subtle feeling arose within Lu Ye.
He recalled that this person appeared to have a faint, elusive... Nine Nether Realm’s chill aura!
This aura was rarely seen on Youluo and Jiang Qingge.
However, it had indeed been sensed previously on Ye Youyu and others!
Lu Ye guessed this was because they had long lived in the Nine Nether Realm environment, hence becoming infected with it.
And if one leaves for a considerable amount of time, this unique aura would gradually fade away.
So... this person might have just come from the Nine Nether Realm not long ago?
Linking back to the earlier message, Youluo mentioned that upon Jiang Qingge receiving the first Empress’s essence, the entire Nine Nether Realm would somehow sense it, prompting them to send someone to trace Jiang Qingge’s whereabouts...
After pondering briefly, Lu Ye feigned passing by the person and left behind a Spiritual Mark on them.
Then, immediately sent a message to Youluo.
[I discovered someone who might be from the Nine Nether Realm, but I am not too certain...]
Without much delay, a response came from Youluo.
Youluo: [What, you found someone from the Nine Nether Realm? No problem, leave it to Youluo! My lord husband, where are you now? Give me a location, I’ll come right away.]
Looking at the transmission full of excitement that nearly overflowed from Youluo, Lu Ye couldn’t help but smile.
In his perception, the person marked with the Spiritual Sense was heading in a certain direction.
Lu Ye pondered briefly and provided Youluo with an address, urging her to come quickly.
Immediately, Lu Ye waited for Youluo’s arrival.
Upon receiving the message, Youluo promptly left the Realm of Chaos.
Recently, Youluo had been cultivating in the Realm of Chaos.
The realm had shifted from Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer, lifted some Sealing Power, back to Grandmaster Eighth Layer.
When Youluo arrived, it was an hour later.
Flying at full speed, Youluo’s cheeks bore a faint blush.
Seeing the husband she hadn’t seen for a while, Youluo immediately descended from the sky.
"My lord husband, it feels like you’ve changed again since I last saw you!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye chuckled and said, "How have I changed?"
Thinking for a moment, Youluo giggled and replied, "You’ve gotten even more handsome!"
"We haven’t seen each other for a while, what sweets have you been eating? You sound so sweet." Lu Ye said with a smile.
With her eyes slightly turning, Youluo quietly leaned closer.
"Why don’t... my lord husband take a taste, and you’ll know what Youluo has been eating lately."
Lu Ye: "?"
This Youluo, her courage had grown significantly, far more daring than before.
"Can you recognize someone from the Nine Nether Realm?" Lu Ye asked after pondering briefly.
"Probably yes, if they haven’t left the Nine Nether Realm for too long." Youluo glanced at her husband who diverted the topic, without exposing him.
No rush for now, eventually... it will be worth a try!
"Alright, follow me." Sensing where his Spiritual Mark currently was situated, Lu Ye led Youluo to pursue them promptly.
Sometime later, Lu Ye and Youluo arrived before a dense forest and came to a stop.
At this moment, in Lu Ye’s perception, there was more than one person!
