Chapter 3321

After washing up at Ling Yin Qin’s secluded residence, Yang Kai put on a new set of clothes and sat down with his legs crossed to adjust his breathing for an entire night. At the break of dawn the next day, he stepped out of the house, feeling re-energized.

When Ling Yin Qin and Lan He, who had been standing guard outside the house for the entire night, saw him, they were shocked by his incredible restorative ability. After the battle with the purple-robed man yesterday, there was basically no spot on Yang Kai’s body that was still intact; however, after only one night, not a single trace of injury could be seen.

This kind of restorative ability was inconceivable.

The old man was outside the house as well. A glint flashed across his eyes when he saw Yang Kai as he called out respectfully, “Young Master!” 

Yang Kai shot him a look and grinned.

After one night of rest, he had figured many things out. Although he still wasn’t sure about the old man’s identity, or which Divine Spirit the latter was, he was certain that there was only one reason that the old man was willing to disparage himself by calling him ‘Young Master’. 

[This old fart wants to seek my protection!]

The previous day, the old man had said that even if Li Wu Yi wanted to bring him back to Spirit Beast Island, he had to ask for Yang Kai’s permission first.

[Do I even have the right to interfere in such a matter? If Li Wu Yi wants to take him back to Spirit Beast Island, I’d definitely agree to it. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this old man looks pure evil. If he stays by my side, he might do something immoral and ruin my reputation. Moreover, given the power he showcased, I would not be able to suppress him.]

Therefore, although Yang Kai was pleased that someone so powerful was calling him ‘Young Master’, he wouldn’t want to accept this walking disaster.

Even if Yang Kai was able to give shelter to this old man, he didn’t find it necessary to do so, to say nothing of the fact that he wasn’t capable of doing it in the first place.

The old man didn’t seem to be aware of Yang Kai’s meaningful grin as he said, “Young Master, what are your orders?”

“I wouldn’t dare to order you around!” Yang Kai waved his hands, then turned to look at Lan He, “Where are the two Seniors?”

Lan He replied, “The two Seniors are staying at Heavenly Wolf Valley’s reception palace.”

“Lead the way, please.”

Lan He nodded and brought Yang Kai to meet Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng. Ling Yin Qin didn’t follow them as she wasn’t familiar with the two. Moreover, there was a huge gap between their statuses, so she didn’t find it necessary to tag along.

It turned out that Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng weren’t at the reception palace and instead had moved to a gazebo on the peak of a certain mountain.

Lan He and Yang Kai searched around for a long time before they found the pair standing by the railing and gazing out at the valley. While Lan He stopped at a spot that was still far from the gazebo, Yang Kai directly flew over. As for the old man, he followed after Yang Kai, as though determined to protect him.

After stepping into the gazebo, Yang Kai seriously cupped his fists, “Greetings, Seniors.”

While Li Wu Yi arched his brow, Jiu Feng replied with a smile, “You called us Big Sister and Big Brother yesterday, so why do you call us Seniors today?”

Yang Kai explained with a smirk, “Today is a new day, different from yesterday. This Junior knows that two Seniors intended to make it seem that we were close in order to raise my status and force my enemy to back down. Junior is grateful for what you’ve done. Since my enemy is gone now, I cannot keep addressing you so informally.” 

Yang Kai then paused for a moment before continuing, “Moreover, Xiao Qi and I call each other Brother and Sister, and she calls you Uncle and Aunt. If I claim to be of the same generation as you two, the seniority would become a mess. Once that happens, what should I call Xiao Qi from now on?”

“Seems you’re not too foolish.” Jiu Feng’s eyes flashed a meaningful light.

Li Wu Yi stated, “It’s just a form of address, so we don’t mind either way. By the way, I thought you had gone to a Lower Star Field. When did you come back?”

“Not long ago.”

With a serious expression, Li Wu Yi asked, “Did you find Wu Kuang?”

Upon hearing the name, the old man, who had remained silent to the side, raised his brow and shivered slightly. Although he wasn’t born in the same era as Wu Kuang, he was aware of what horrible crimes the latter had committed.

Yang Kai heaved a sigh, “I found him, but there was nothing I could do.”

At that time, Yang Kai was in a rush to return to the Lower Star Field because he was worried that Wu Kuang would devastate Heng Luo Star Field. Now that he had refined the Star Field Source of Heng Luo Star Field though, Wu Kuang would not have the chance anymore. Wu Kuang would also be suppressed by the Heavenly Way when he was in a Lower Star Field unless he refined the Star Field Source first.

After a moment of deliberation, Yang Kai went on to explain, “Moreover, Wu Kuang’s condition is special now. Even if I had the power to deal with him, I wouldn’t know how to handle him.”

Li Wu Yi understood what Yang Kai was worried about, so he nodded and replied, “It’s indeed a thorny issue.”

Two Souls were residing in the same body at the moment. It wouldn’t matter if it was a random individual, but it was Bustling World Great Emperor’s body and Soul Wu Kuang was sharing at the moment. Even if they had a chance, they couldn’t possibly kill both Wu Kuang and Bustling World Great Emperor. After giving it a thought, Yang Kai knew that it would ultimately be up to Bustling World Great Emperor to resolve the issue himself. Unless Duan Hong Chen forced Wu Kuang’s Soul out of his body, no one else would be able to intervene.

Moreover, the person at fault for this whole mess was actually Yang Kai.

Each time the Shattered Star Sea opened, Bustling World Great Emperor would waste his cultivation and begin cultivating from the beginning so he could enter that place and search for the whereabouts of Wu Kuang’s Soul. This time, Duan Hong Chen had the chance to die together with Wu Kuang, but Yang Kai interfered, and after a series of coincidences, managed to save both of them. Now, the Souls of the two Great Emperors had been intertwined.

Li Wu Yi suddenly put on a smile, “If the sky falls, those who stand above us will hold it up, so don’t worry about it too much.”

Yang Kai understood that they should just let the Great Emperors deal with their own internal affairs. It was pointless for them to keep thinking about it.

Nodding, Yang Kai changed the subject, “There’s something I need to ask you two… After I left Dragon Island, what happened?”

Jiu Feng asked with a smile, “You want to ask about that Dragon girl, right?”

Yang Kai coughed, “Senior Jiu Feng, please tell me.”

A dejected Jiu Feng sighed, “Things ended quite miserably for her. Members of the Dragon Clan are arrogant and xenophobic, so what she did was intolerable to them. She was thrown into the Dragon Grave to perish on her own.”

“They court death!” Yang Kai was enraged as his murderous intent flared like a blinding sun, causing Jiu Feng to widen her eyes. The old man also looked at him in shock. It was incredible that he was able to release this kind of murderous intent in his realm. [Who is this Dragon girl? She seems to be his reverse scale. Has this brat hooked up with a woman from the Dragon Clan or something? How interesting! It’s no wonder that he’s able to transform into a 300-metre-tall Half-Dragon form. He must be some kind of Dragonkin. Tsk. What a rare opportunity.]

Feeling his head aching, Li Wu Yi rubbed his temples and uttered, “Don’t listen to this crazy woman.”

“Eh?” Yang Kai’s aura suddenly deflated as he turned to look at Jiu Feng, only to see that she was looking back at him teasingly with a meaningful smile.

[She tricked me!] 

Yang Kai couldn’t help rolling his eyes, “Senior Jiu Feng, you’re too mischievous. Does Senior Martial Beast know this?”

Jiu Feng rolled her eyes back at him, “What does this have to do with him?”

Yang Kai ignored her and turned to look at Li Wu Yi, “Senior Li, did the Dragon Clan do anything to Zhu Qing?”

Li Wu Yi replied, “What could they do to her? She was just confined within Dragon Island to reflect upon her actions. In the end, she’s an Elder within the Dragon Clan.” Despite what he just said, he felt that the only reason Zhu Qing received such a light punishment was that the Dragon Clan had to show enough respect to Yang Kai.

Fu Xuan was also an Elder of the Dragon Clan, but after her affair with Martial Beast Great Emperor was exposed, she was still thrown into the Dragon Grave.

However, Yang Kai commanded more respect than Martial Beast Great Emperor due to the special Source he carried.

“It seems they know their place after all,” Yang Kai snorted. Being confined to Dragon Island wasn’t a serious punishment. If Zhu Qing was really thrown into the Dragon Grave, he would definitely turn the island upside down again. Having calmed down, Yang Kai asked, “What about the Third Elder?”

The Third Elder of the Dragon Clan, Fu Xuan, was Mo Xiao Qi’s mother, as well as Martial Beast Great Emperor’s wife. They were enemies turned lovers. Martial Beast Great Emperor’s Dao was taming Monster Beasts, and he had done so to countless powerful Monster Beasts across the Star Boundary. Whatever order he gave, Monster Beasts wouldn’t dare to disobey him. Technically, members of the Dragon Clan were also Monster Beasts, the distinction only being that they were of an extremely high rank. Since Martial Beast Great Emperor wanted to tame all Monster Beasts, he would certainly have his eyes on the Dragon Clan. He wanted to tame at least one of them, and since both Spirit Beast Island and Dragon Island resided in the Eastern Territory, it was convenient for him to act towards that goal.

After some plotting and waiting, he was finally able to tame a member of the Dragon Clan; however, he didn’t do it with brute force but by using a different method. In the end, they even had a daughter together.

Whenever Yang Kai thought about this, he had nothing but respect for the Great Emperor.

Normally, the higher one’s cultivation was, the lower the chance they had of having a child. As for the probability of a Dragon and a Human having a child together, it was even lower. The odds that such a couple could even have a child together were incredibly long.

Despite that, Mo Xiao Qi was born. It could almost be considered a miracle.

However, during Yang Kai’s time with Mo Xiao Qi, he had never sensed a drop of Dragon Blood within her. He wasn’t sure whether she didn’t have any or whether Martial Beast Great Emperor had sealed it using some Divine Ability.

“Mistress?” When Li Wu Yi thought about Fu Xuan and what happened on that day, he put on a wry smile, “She’s keeping Zhu Qing company.”

At that time, after Yang Kai left, all members of the Dragon Clan were exhausted both physically and mentally; after all, they had just gone through a grand battle, and Wu Kuang had even killed one of them when they were not paying attention, so they had suffered a huge loss. There were only a small number of Dragon Clan members, and more often than not, no new member was born even after thousands of years, so every death was a huge loss for them.

Martial Beast Great Emperor had wanted to leave Dragon Island together with Fu Xuan, bringing her back with him to Spirit Beast Island. As long as they returned to his island, the Dragon Clan would never be able to touch her again.

However, Second Elder Fu Zhun would never agree to this. Yang Kai had witnessed how obstinate that woman could be. She was always icy and bitter, as if she had never experienced happiness in her life before. With her blocking the way, Martial Beast Great Emperor was, as expected, furious, and a fight almost broke out again.

In the end though, it was Fu Xuan who requested to stay on her own. As a compromise, Fu Zhun could not even mention throwing Fu Xuan back into the Dragon Grave. Now, the two Dragon Clan Elders were confined to the island to reflect upon themselves after having committed the same mistake.

I Am the Fated Villain

Pretty sure many of you have read the manhua. A few guys asked me to pick it up and one even offered a commission.

Well, I took it as an experiment to see what would happen if I uploaded at quite an impressive release rate from the start. Will be in red for this one. It will be 14 chapters a week.

Chapter 3322

In the end, Martial Beast Great Emperor had no other choice. If Fu Xuan was willing to follow him, he would have done everything within his power to bring her away; however, she didn’t want the relationship between the Great Emperor and Dragon Clan to turn sour once again, so he had no choice but to go back alone and dejected.

Before Mo Huang left though, he threatened that if Fu Xuan suffered any grievances, he would destroy Dragon Island.

After Li Wu Yi finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked, “Are you going to Dragon Island again?”

Yang Kai nodded, “Of course. I’ve come to the Eastern Territory for two reasons. First, I wanted to look for you to discuss the Dao of Space. Second, I planned to visit Dragon Island to bring Zhu Qing away.”

Upon hearing that, Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng stared at him as if he was some kind of madman.

“What’s wrong?” Yang Kai stared back at them.

Jiu Feng replied with a smile, “Nothing, I wish you all the best.” 

Despite what she had just said, she didn’t think Yang Kai could accomplish this. Even Martial Beast Great Emperor couldn’t leave with Fu Xuan, so how could Yang Kai take Zhu Qing away?

Yang Kai nodded and said, “But before that, there’s something I need to ask two Seniors.”

Li Wu Yi replied, “Just ask us without holding back. I had indeed intended to raise your social status in front of Brother Cang yesterday, but I meant it when I said that you’re also a part of Spirit Beast Island. Whether or not you acknowledge it, you’re related to our island, do you understand?”

If something happened to Spirit Beast Island, there was no way Liu Yan would stand by and watch, which also meant that Yang Kai would also need to help them out. In other words, if something happened to Yang Kai, those from Spirit Beast Island would never turn a blind eye to it. Their fates had become intertwined.

Yang Kai nodded and said with a smile, “Junior understands, which is why I won’t be overly polite with you two.”

“Very good.”

Having come to a mutual understanding, Yang Kai nodded before pointing his finger to the side and asking bluntly, “Who is this old fart?”

The old man’s face twitched as he protested, “Young Master, how could you call this Old Master an old fart!”

Yang Kai ignored him directly and went on to say, “Senior said that you’ve come all the way here for him and want to take him back to Spirit Beast Island. I can see that he’s a Divine Spirit, but why does he call me Young Master and why is he seeking my shelter? Senior Li, why did you say that I should know him and that he didn’t call me Young Master for no reason? I’m really puzzled about this. Please enlighten me.”

Li Wu Yi asked with a smile, “Do you really have no idea?”

Yang Kai truly had no idea. 

He speculated that it might have something to do with Zhang Ruo Xi, but he soon realised that it was impossible. Although the Divine Spirits had found out about his relationship with Zhang Ruo Xi, they would only be wary of offending him, not try to flatter him because fawning over him was pointless to them.

Thus, he shook his head and waited for them to enlighten him.

“It was you who released him,” Li Wu Yi gave him a reminder.

“I released him?” Yang Kai was startled, “From where?”

Jiu Feng smiled charmingly and replied, “The Four Seasons Realm.”

“Four Seasons Realm?” A shocked Yang Kai immediately recalled something as he turned to stare at the old man, “Then, you must be…”

The old man bowed and said, “Qiong Qi greets Young Master.”

Yang Kai gasped and almost jumped up in shock. [Qiong Qi! This old fart is Qiong Qi!?]

When he combined the Four Seasons Realm and a Divine Spirit, Yang Kai immediately realized this old man’s identity; after all, he knew Qiong Qi resided inside the Four Seasons Realm in the past. However, Yang Kai was still shocked when he heard the answer from the Divine Spirit himself.

[He’s really Qiong Qi!? The mount of Flowing Time Great Emperor…] Yang Kai sized him up and wondered why the latter looked so hideous after he assumed Human form. He did not look handsome and imposing; instead, he was chubby and wrinkled with a hideous glint in his eyes. It was as if the words ‘I am evil’ had been engraved on his forehead.

There had been many Great Emperors throughout history, but only Flowing Time Great Emperor was able to make a Divine Spirit become his mount. Although Martial Beast Great Emperor was able to tame Monster Beasts from around the world, and he had a member of the Phoenix Clan like Jiu Feng on Spirit Beast Island, they were closer to family than Master and mount.

Even though the Divine Spirits were not as powerful as the Great Emperors, they were noble existence who would rather die than become someone’s mount. Qiong Qi was the only exception. No one knew how Flowing Time Great Emperor managed to tame this ominous ancient beast, much less gain so much loyalty that even after the Great Emperor’s death, Qiong Qi decided to hibernate in the Flowing Time Temple to guard it for so many years.

Qiong Qi only left that place when Four Seasons Realm last opened up.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t capable of leaving. Given his power, he could leave the Flowing Time Temple whenever he wanted; however, for some reason, he remained in that place. When Yang Kai was still weak, he had explored the Flowing Time Temple and felt Qiong Qi’s aura on the Flowing Time Stairs when Zhang Ruo Xi, who was with him at the time, was taken away by Qiong Qi.

At that time, Yang Kai even thought that Zhang Ruo Xi had lost her life; however, quite to the contrary, she soon returned without a scratch on her, She then told him that she had met a big Monster Beast called Qiong Qi who just like a benevolent elderly neighbour treated her well and even gifted her a defensive Emperor Artifact, the Pink Clouds Phoenix Robe. As far as Yang Kai knew, she was still wearing it up until this day.

Upon hearing her story, Yang Kai thought that Qiong Qi must have gone senile from old age. Otherwise, why would he whisk away a little girl, treat her so well, and even give her a rare and precious treasure?

Now, of course, Yang Kai understood that Qiong Qi hadn’t lost his mind. Instead, he was quite wise and far-sighted. He must have sensed the hidden Bloodline Power within Zhang Ruo Xi’s body; otherwise, he wouldn’t have treated her so well.

He could not afford to offend the descendant of Heavens Order.

After the Four Seasons Realm closed, Yang Kai learned from Gao Xue Ting that Qiong Qi had broken free and re-emerged. When Qiong Qi appeared that day, all were shocked. Fortunately, Bright Moon Great Emperor’s Soul Manifestation appeared and resolved the situation in a peaceful manner.

There hadn’t been any news about him for the next several dozen years. It wasn’t until yesterday that Yang Kai met him again.

Yang Kai stroked his chin and curiously circled around Qiong Qi. Then, he tutted and stopped in his tracks, “Are you really Qiong Qi?”

Qiong Qi nodded firmly, “Of course.”

Yang Kai nodded, “There are righteous Divine Spirits and wicked Divine Spirits. If I remember correctly, Qiong Qi is famed as one of the most, if not the evilest of the Divine Spirits, so there are no benefits in impersonating him. Good, it seems that you’re really Qiong Qi. It’s no wonder that bastard called you an Evil Spirit.”

Qiong Qi coughed, “Rumours shouldn’t be believed so easily. This Old Master has changed his ways and is now a kind-hearted soul who treats all benevolently.”

“Really?” Yang Kai snickered, clearly not believing him.

After a sigh, Qiong Qi muttered, “My bad reputation has held me back.” 

He appeared heartbroken, as if he wanted to kill himself to prove his innocence.

Yang Kai turned back to Li Wu Yi and cupped his fists, “Senior, please use your Divine Ability to capture this Evil Spirit so that he cannot bring chaos to this world.”

Qiong Qi widened his eyes, anguished but unable to shed a tear as he cried out, “Young Master!”

“Enough!” Yang Kai raised his hand, “You call me Young Master because I’ve obtained Flowing Time Great Emperor’s inheritance and cultivated the Time Flies Seal, right?” 

Then, he suddenly thought of something, “Did you find me because I used Time Flies Seal earlier? You felt the Time Principle fluctuations?”

“En.” Qiong Qi nodded, “The reason this Old Master stayed in the temple for so long was to wait for the right person to inherit the Great Emperor’s legacy. After years of waiting, a candidate finally appeared. Young Master, you are the Great Emperor’s successor.”

Yang Kai sneered at him, “It’s true I obtained some benefits from Flowing Time Great Emperor, but I doubt this can be considered his true inheritance. Moreover, he was Flowing Time Great Emperor, and I am Yang Kai, so please don’t confuse us. You are the Great Emperor’s mount, and I admire the fact that you’ve stayed loyal to him for so many millennia; however, I’ve heard much about you, and I have no right to be your Young Master, so please stop calling me that.” 

Yang Kai would have accepted the old man if the latter was a different Divine Spirit; however, Qiong Qi was an infamous character, so he didn’t want to have anything to do with him. After a pause, he said, “Actually, Old Qiong…”

[Old Qiong? How could he call me Old Qiong?] Qiong Qi couldn’t help but shoot him a glare.

“Spirit Beast Island is a nice place with beautiful scenery and kind-hearted people. You’re pretty old now, so you should stop gallivanting around. It’s good for you to spend your retirement years on Spirit Beast Island. I believe Senior Martial Beast, Senior Li, and Senior Jiu Feng will not treat you poorly so long as you don’t cause trouble.”

Li Wu Yi spoke up, “He’s right. Old Qiong, although you haven’t done anything evil since you became a mount, the Great Emperor is worried that your wild nature will re-surface. That’s why he wants us to bring you back to Spirit Beast Island. Don’t worry. You will be well received on the island. As long as you stay there, you can do whatever you want.”

[You’re also calling me Old Qiong now? Do you think I don’t dare to eat you!?]

An exasperated Qiong Qi bellowed, “You want to confine this Old Master just because of some worries?”

Li Wu Yi replied with a frown, “Please understand.”

Jiu Feng continued, “We’ve followed you all the way to this place, but we’ve never used force. We’ve persuaded you for a long time, but you still always try to run away from us. What’s not good about Spirit Beast Island? We don’t intend to confine you. If you want to leave the island in the future, you will have a chance to do so.”

Qiong Qi shook his head, “For this Old Master’s entire life, he has only acknowledged Flowing Time as his Master, and though Flowing Time has fallen, he has a successor now. I am willing to stay by his successor’s side. If his successor doesn’t want me, I’ll just travel around the world, but I’ll never submit to Spirit Beast Island.”

“Are you really so resolute?” Li Wu Yi knitted his brows together. If possible, he didn’t want to fight with Qiong Qi. Although Qiong Qi was old, he was a highly ranked Divine Spirit, so it would be difficult to deal with him. Even if Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng joined forces, they only had a fifty percent chance to capture him.

Qiong Qi replied, “Please don’t make things difficult for this Old Master.”

Li Wu Yi heaved a sigh while Qiong Qi appeared determined. At that instant, the atmosphere around them became dangerous.

“Are you really willing to follow this boy and acknowledge that he’s your Master?” With a weird expression, Jiu Feng gazed at Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi replied, “I don’t want to be confined to Spirit Beast Island. Besides, I have no other choice but to follow him.” If he didn’t follow Yang Kai, he would have to go against Spirit Beast Island unless he could stop Li Wu Yi from tracking him.

Nevertheless, he had been planted with a Space Seal by Li Wu Yi, so as long as Li Wu Yi wanted to look for Qiong Qi, he could find out his location with a simple thought. There was no way Qiong Qi could shake him off. 

After giving it a thought, Qiong Qi knew that he could only seek refuge from Yang Kai; moreover, it was a coincidence that he came across Yang Kai in the Eastern Territory. He even felt that it was Flowing Time Great Emperor who had protected him from the Heavens; otherwise, why would he detect the aura of Time Flies Seal when he was already at a dead end?

Chapter 3323

“Yang boy, this old man seems determined to follow you. What do you think?” Jiu Feng looked smilingly at Yang Kai and winked at him, “It’s a rare opportunity to get a Divine Spirit to acknowledge that you’re his Master.”

If anyone else came across such an opportunity, they probably wouldn’t care about whether Qiong Qi’s reputation was good or bad. They would be elated and immediately agree to it; however, Yang Kai appeared disdainful as he snorted, “It’s not like I don’t have one already.”

[What do you have?] Qiong Qi widened his eyes.

It was then that Jiu Feng remembered Liu Yan and thought that he was right. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for other people, but Yang Kai already had Liu Yan, a member of the Phoenix Clan, ranked higher than Qiong Qi. Although Liu Yan might not be as powerful as Qiong Qi at the moment, her potential for growth was much greater. To Yang Kai, it was not that attractive to get Qiong Qi to acknowledge him as his Master. Moreover, anyone could tell that Qiong Qi was just trying to seek protection and it wasn’t certain whether he was sincere in wanting to follow Yang Kai or not.

Yang Kai could take him in now, but what if Qiong Qi went back on his word and killed him in the future? It would be akin to lifting a stone then dropping it on his foot.

Jiu Feng turned to look at Qiong Qi, “You’ve heard him. Just follow us back to Spirit Beast Island.”

With a grim expression, Qiong Qi said, “I don’t want to fight with you two.”

Jiu Feng replied dispassionately, “It’s not like this Queen wants to either.”

Although Li Wu Yi remained silent, his determined gaze suggested that if they got into a scuffle, there would be no holding back.

All of a sudden, Qiong Qi turned to look at Yang Kai and pushed his Divine Sense.

Yang Kai, who seemed to be enjoying the view of the valley had his expression change abruptly as he turned to stare at Qiong Qi. At the same time, he pushed his Divine Sense to respond.

The two of them directly communicated with each other using Divine Sense right in front of Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng. The two darted their gazes between the man and beast and then looked at each other before smiling helplessly.

Although they had no idea what the two were talking about, they speculated that Qiong Qi must be negotiating with Yang Kai on acknowledging him to be his Master. Moreover, he must have come up with an offer that could move Yang Kai.

As they observed Yang Kai, they could see that his expressions kept changing between shocked, amazed, and surprised as he scratched his face.

In the end, he calmed down and fell silent while Qiong Qi stared fixedly at him. A moment later, Yang Kai heaved a sigh, “Old Qiong, you’ve won.”

Qiong Qi put on a grin, “Many thanks, Young Master.”

“Don’t thank me yet,” This time, Yang Kai didn’t stop the old man from addressing him in such a way. Then, he shifted his attention to Li Wu Yi, “Senior, can I request to keep this old man by my side so that he doesn’t have to go to Spirit Beast Island? You and Senior Martial Beast can rest assured that I’ll keep watch over him and make sure that he won’t do anything immoral.”

Li Wu Yi asked with a frown, “Do you really want to shelter him?”

Yang Kai laughed, “He’s shared a piece of interesting information with me, so it’s difficult for me to reject him.”

[I knew it!] 

However, Li Wu Yi wondered what Qiong Qi had told Yang Kai that made him change his stance. Earlier, Yang Kai had been openly disdainful of this old man, but he was willing to protect him now.

A solemn Jiu Feng said, “Qiong Qi isn’t like Liu Yan. Can you keep control of him?” 

Liu Yan had been following Yang Kai for a long time now, and it could almost be said that it was Yang Kai who brought her up by helping her attain form, sentience, and strength. Liu Yan was absolutely loyal to Yang Kai, but it was a different case for Qiong Qi. He was infamous for his ferocity and he was incredibly powerful, so Jiu Feng was worried that Yang Kai couldn’t hold his reigns. Instead, he might be taken advantage of in the end.

Yang Kai put on a smile as he replied, “Since I’ve said so, I have a way to keep him in line.” He then turned to gaze at Qiong Qi. 

“Let me tell you something important in return for what you told me. The little girl you came across in the past, her bloodline has fully awakened and she is currently inheriting her ancestor’s power. So, I suggest that if you’ve had any ill intentions, forget about them right now, otherwise there’s no guarantee you’ll keep your life.”

A shocked Qiong Qi shuddered and asked, “Her bloodline awakened!?” 

Although Yang Kai didn’t say who the little girl was, Qiong Qi understood who he was referring to. In the past, the reason he treated Zhang Ruo Xi so well was that he could feel Heavens Order’s aura slumbering inside of her. He hadn’t expected that her bloodline would awaken so soon though as based on his observations at the time, it should have been a few hundred more years before the process even began. Since the awakening happened earlier though, some great unexpected change must have taken place.

Understanding the situation well, Qiong Qi cupped his fists and said, “Young Master may rest assured, since you are Master’s successor, this Old Master will follow you and serve you well, this I swear.”

After that, Yang Kai looked at Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng before saying with a smile, “Seniors, what do you think?” He paused for a moment, “Of course, if you insist on taking him back to Spirit Beast Island, I won’t raise a fuss.”

Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng traded glances as they pondered on the same issue.

[Who is this ‘little girl’ he mentioned? Why did Qiong Qi suddenly become so fearful at the mention of her? Who else could make Qiong Qi terrified other than the Great Emperors? They also mentioned something about bloodline awakening…]

The two quickly seemed to think of something as a glint flashed across Li Wu Yi’s eyes while Jiu Feng shuddered as she wanted to ask Yang Kai about the identity of this ‘little girl’ but was too afraid to do so.

A moment later, Li Wu Yi said, “I’ve said that you’re also a part of Spirit Beast Island, so since you’ve decided to keep him by your side, he’s also under the surveillance of Spirit Beast Island, which doesn’t contradict my mission. However, I have to get the Great Emperor’s approval first.”

Yang Kai nodded, “I understand. Since that’s the case, let’s go to Spirit Beast Island first.”

Since Li Wu Yi was here, Yang Kai didn’t have to go to Spirit Beast Island; however, as they had to get Martial Beast Great Emperor’s permission for this matter, it seemed he had no choice but to visit the island.

Li Wu Yi, however, replied with a smile, “There’s no need for that.”

Upon finishing his words, he fished out a jade slip and infused his message into it using his Divine Sense. After that, he flicked the jade slip with his wrist and shouted, “Go!”

The jade slip immediately slipped into the Void and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Yang Kai widened his eyes and asked curiously, “Senior, did you just send a message back to Spirit Beast Island?” 

Just now, Li Wu Yi had apparently used Space Principles to send the jade slip, which contained his message, back to Spirit Beast Island. However, this place was pretty far from the island, so even though Li Wu Yi was a Master of the Dao of Space, how was he able to send something so far and so accurately?

At that moment, Yang Kai couldn’t wait to ask him about it.

A smiling Li Wu Yi replied, “It’s a novel use of Space Principles. I’ll tell you all about it later. Given your mastery now, you can easily learn it.”

Yang Kai grinned from ear to ear, “Many thanks, Senior.”

Li Wu Yi raised his hand, “There are many people in this world who have cultivated the Dao of Space, but there are not many who have mastered it like you and me. Discussing it with you is beneficial for me as well.”

“Senior is too humble. I have a lot to learn from you.” Yang Kai replied seriously.

Jiu Feng pursed her lips, “What’s the point of flattering this oaf?”

Just then, Qiong Qi chimed in arrogantly, “Space Principles might be profound, but are still not comparable to Time Principles!”

Yang Kai immediately shot him a look, “Can you use Time Principles?”

Qiong Qi’s face twitched as he replied in embarrassment, “No…” 

He was just Flowing Time Great Emperor’s mount, and although he had followed the Great Emperor for a long time and seen the latter use the powerful Time Principles, he had never been able to cultivate them himself.

Yang Kai said, “The power of a Principle depends on the user, all have their advantages and strengths, none is superior to another.”

Li Wu Yi’s eyes brightened, “You’re right. It takes the right person to unleash the true power of a Principle.”

As he spoke, his expression changed as he lifted his hand, after which a jade slip broke through the air and came into contact with his palm. Obviously, the Great Emperor on Spirit Beast Island had sent a reply.

[That was quick!]

It had only been a short moment since the jade slip was sent out, so Yang Kai realized that Li Wu Yi’s jade slip must have immediately reached the Martial Beast Great Emperor, which was why he could get a reply so soon.

Qiong Qi appeared nervous as he stared fixedly at Li Wu Yi. He thought to himself that if things didn’t go as he had wished, he would quickly flee this place. There was no way he would accept being confined to Spirit Beast Island.

However, Li Wu Yi’s expression remained calm and there didn’t seem to be anything that was off. The apprehensive Qiong Qi wondered what Martial Beast Great Emperor’s decision was.

A moment later, Li Wu Yi finally finished reading the reply as his gaze darted between Qiong Qi and Yang Kai, “Sir has said that… He will leave the decision to you.”

Upon hearing that, Qiong Qi heaved a sigh of relief, then he anxiously turned to look at Yang Kai. Since Yang Kai had the final say now, it depended on whether Qiong Qi’s proposal earlier was useful at all.

[It’s definitely useful…] Qiong Qi prayed in his heart.

“I get to make the decision?” Yang Kai touched his chin and chuckled, “It seems that the Great Emperor thinks pretty highly of me.”

Li Wu Yi said with a smile, “Sir has written that since you’re somewhat related to Old Qiong, you’re the best candidate to keep watch over him. If he really goes back on his word in the future, it won’t be too late for us to step forward and settle it.”

“Good.” Yang Kai nodded, “Since the Great Emperor has so much trust in me, I’ll take up the responsibility.” 

Yang Kai turned to look at Qiong Qi, “Old Qiong, you’ll follow me from now on. You’ve heard what the Great Emperor has said. You have to help more people so that your reputation gets rectified. If you dare to commit any kind of evil, both the Great Emperor and I will not let you off. Understand?”

“Yes,” Qiong Qi replied respectfully, then put on a bitter expression, “Young Master, can you stop calling me Old Qiong?”

“How do you want me to call you then? Old Qi?”

Qiong Qi replied, “No, but it’s pretty close. In the past, my old Master would always call me Xiao Qi. You see, it does sound better than Old Qiong. If you’re fine with it, you can call me Xiao Qi… Hmm? Why are all of you looking at me that way?”

At that instant, Yang Kai, Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng were all staring at him with weird expressions.

Yang Kai’s face twitched before he dismissively waved his hand, “Old Qiong is a good name. There’s no need to change it.”

[Why does he want to be addressed as Xiao Qi?]

Mo Huang’s daughter, the Little Princess of Spirit Beast Island, was named Xiao Qi. Both of them shared the same name; however, one of them was an innocent young girl, while the other was a hideous-looking old fart. There was no way Yang Kai would call Qiong Qi Xiao Qi, and obviously Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng thought the same.

I Am the Fated Villain

Pretty sure many of you have read the manhua. A few guys asked me to pick it up and one even offered a commission.

Well, I took it as an experiment to see what would happen if I uploaded at quite an impressive release rate from the start. Will be in red for this one. It will be 14 chapters a week.

Humanity’s Great Sage

Same author as Martial Peak. MoMo. We have been translating for awhile and it seems to be slowly gaining traction. Like Martial Peak, starts out slow and it is building up quite well.

Chapter 3324

“Good, Old Qiong then.” Qiong Qi reluctantly decided to take a step back.

Yang Kai nodded, “You can find somewhere else to rest for now, there’s something I need to discuss with Senior Li.”

“Understood,” Qiong Qi replied respectfully and turned around before he flew into the distance. After landing on a particularly large branch of a tree, he placed his hands behind his back as his hair and clothes swayed with the wind. If it weren’t because of his tacky red robe, he would have looked like a reclusive martial expert.

Inside the gazebo, Yang Kai said, “Both of you and the Great Emperor can rest assured regarding Qiong Qi, I’ll keep watch on him and discipline him appropriately.”

Jiu Feng replied, “Remember not to be too harsh on him; after all, he’s an Ancient Divine Spirit, even older than I am. Although he’s acknowledged you as his Master, and he doesn’t seem forced, it wouldn’t be good if you’re too strict with him. I believe that you can handle the matter well.”

“Got it,” Yang Kai nodded. Although it was intimidating to let an Evil Spirit follow him around, Yang Kai wasn’t a pushover, nor was he a rookie who had just ventured into the world. As for Qiong Qi’s temperament, he would spend some time observing it in the future.

Since the matter regarding Qiong Qi had been settled, Yang Kai couldn’t wait to discuss the Dao of Space with Li Wu Yi. It was the first time he was able to discuss this topic with someone since he began cultivating the Dao of Space, so he was naturally excited.

“Senior Li, how did you send the jade slip back to Spirit Beast Island? Can you show it to me again?”

Li Wu Yi replied with a smile, “It’s really not difficult.” 

As he spoke, he stuck out one finger as the Space Principles around it undulated. Then, he started drawing something on the stone table without touching it.

Yang Kai looked attentively at the table and realised that Li Wu Yi was drawing a kind of abstruse array. As the array took shape, Yang Kai was surprised to see that this array was similar to that of his Cross-Territory Space Array, but with some slight differences.

A moment later, Li Wu Yi stopped drawing. The stone table didn’t change one bit, but Yang Kai could feel Space Principle fluctuations from it. The intangible array had been branded on the stone table using Space Principles.

Li Wu Yi threw an empty jade slip to Yang Kai and said, “Infuse something into it.”

After a nod, Yang Kai grabbed the jade slip and activated his Divine Sense as he engraved his Soul Imprint.

“Give it to me.” Jiu Feng extended her hand.

Although Yang Kai didn’t know what she intended to do, he still obediently passed the jade slip to her.

After taking the jade slip, Jiu Feng moved and shot into the distance.

Gazing in the direction she had left, Yang Kai fell into deep thought.

About a quarter-hour later, the stone table suddenly shone brightly. Yang Kai turned to look at it, only to see that the jade slip had suddenly appeared on it. Arching his brow, he said, “This…”

Li Wu Yi replied with a smile, “Take a look for yourself.”

Yang Kai picked up the jade slip and probed it, after which, he was shocked to learn that it was the one that he had left a Soul Imprint, clearly the one that Jiu Feng had taken away. However, it now appeared again out of thin air.

Pointing at the stone table, Li Wu Yi explained, “I can use Space Principles to engage a Space Beacon. Whatever the location left with a Space Beacon, I or anything that has passed through my hands before can reach the Space Beacon in an instant.”

Yang Kai’s gaze brightened, “It’s just like a Space Array.”

Li Wu Yi nodded, “Good. Normally, you use a Space Array to send people. Meanwhile, all I am doing right now is delivering items, so it’s less difficult; however, the basic principles are the same.”

An amazed Yang Kai said, “This table is made from ordinary stones. Can it be left with a Space Beacon as well?”

Li Wu Yi replied, “Yes, but it will only last for a short while. If you want it to be effective for an extended period, you have to use some special materials.”

Yang Kai arched his brow, “Like Space Spirit Crystals or Space Spirit Jades?”

A smiling Li Wu Yi replied, “Correct.”

“Got it,” Yang Kai appeared elated, as if he had just obtained a priceless treasure, “It’s marvellous that we can use this to deliver messages. It’s more effective than using a communication artifact.”

A communication artifact had its limitations as messages couldn’t be delivered if the destination was too far away; however, this method was different. No matter where the destination was, messages could be sent in an instant.

Martial Beast Great Emperor must have a Space Beacon that Li Wu Yi had left behind, which was why the jade slip could be delivered in an instant. Correspondingly, Li Wu Yi could also immediately receive the Great Emperor’s reply.

An excited Yang Kai hurriedly started drawing a Space Beacon on the stone table.

Li Wu Yi watched on the side and corrected him from time to time. Soon, Yang Kai was able to master the technique as a new Space Beacon had been formed.

Rising from the chair, Yang Kai guffawed, “I’ll be right back.”

After that, he shot into the air and came across Jiu Feng, who was returning to the gazebo. As they rubbed shoulders, Jiu Feng doubtfully turned to look at him and then shifted her attention to Li Wu Yi, “He already managed to learn it?”

Li Wu Yi nodded, “His understanding of the Dao of Space is comparable to mine. He just needs time to accumulate more experience. It’s just a simple technique, so he can easily learn it.”

Jiu Feng said, “Why do you seem happy after someone has stolen a skill of yours?”

A smiling Li Wu Yi replied, “Weren’t you happy when you found out that Liu Yan exists?”

Jiu Feng’s expression changed, and then she nodded, “I see.”

As they spoke, the stone table shone as a piece of High-Rank Source Crystal appeared out of thin air. Li Wu Yi picked it up and weighed it in his hand, “He can even send other items now…”

Before he finished speaking, a one hundred kilogram boulder appeared on the table. It was a wonder where Yang Kai found it before sending it to the Space Beacon.

The stone table shone again as a big wolf appeared in front of Li Wu Yi, the kind of Monster Beast that could be found everywhere in Heavenly Wolf Valley. The Monster Beast was pretty powerful as it was an Eleventh-Order, but as soon as it appeared, it looked around in a panic and howled fearfully, after which, a visible wind blade shot out from its mouth and headed towards Li Wu Yi.

Li Wu Yi flicked his finger to break the wind blade and burst into laughter, “It wasn’t me. You’ve got the wrong person.”

Following that, he waved his hand as a breeze swept the wolf away for more than a thousand metres before it landed on the ground lightly. The turn of events made the wolf so terrified that it was as if its soul had left its body. After making sure that it was safe, it ran away with its tail between its legs and disappeared into the distance.

Just then, a figure appeared in the gazebo. Yang Kai gave it a thought and said, “There are limitations regarding size and weight when delivering items. It’ll be useless if the item exceeds those limitations.”

Li Wu Yi replied, “Of course. If there were no limitations, were you going to send a mountain over? However, it’s more than enough to deliver messages.”

“En, it’s as Senior says.” Yang Kai lowered his head in contemplation, “It’s already incredible that it can be used to transport living creatures. By the way, can I use it to transport a person?”

Li Wu Yi said, “Yes, you can.”

Touching his chin, Yang Kai said, “If I place many Space Beacons around the Star Boundary, does it mean that I can go wherever I want at will?”

This was indeed more convenient than tearing space and entering the Void, and it was easier to implement than building a network of Space Arrays. Nevertheless, although it was convenient, it didn’t have the same utility as a Space Array because it couldn’t be used to transport a large number of people or cargo in one go.

Li Wu Yi replied, “Theoretically, it’s feasible.”

“Does it have the same effect if I draw a Space Beacon on a Space Spirit Jade?”

A smiling Li Wu Yi said, “You can give it a try.”

Without hesitation, Yang Kai fished out a palm-sized Space Spirit Jade and began engraving it. Although the jade was small, he was able to draw the Space Beacon Array on it because he was fairly adept at such tasks already.

After he finished drawing, Yang Kai carefully examined it to make sure that there were no errors.

Thinking of something, he looked at Li Wu Yi and said, “Senior, please give me a way to contact you. It’d be convenient for us to be able to communicate with each other in the future.”

“That’s what I was thinking as well,” Li Wu Yi put on a faint smile, “I was wondering how long it would take you to think of it. I didn’t expect that it’d be so quick.”

Yang Kai grinned at him, “It just came to mind now.”

After that, Li Wu Yi passed him a rounded bead, which was apparently polished from a Space Spirit Jade. Moreover, it had been strung with silk so the user could wear it on his wrist or hang it on his clothes.

“Although it’s convenient for us to contact each other this way, a Space Beacon can be cut off if it’s isolated from the outside world, so it’s useless if you put it into a Space Ring. You can wear it on your wrist so that we can contact each other whenever we want to.”

“Senior is indeed considerate,” Yang Kai took a look at the beads that had been wrapped around Li Wu Yi’s wrist and thought that the latter must have given this mode of contact to others as well. Gazing at Li Wu Yi’s Space Spirit Jade, Yang Kai could tell that his own beacon paled in comparison. Then, he asked, “Why don’t I make one more that looks the same for you so that you can bring it with you?”

Li Wu Yi nods, “Good.”

After that, Yang Kai started polishing a Space Spirit Jade, and soon a bead was made. It was then they officially traded Space Beacons that could be used to contact each other.

With a solemn expression, Li Wu Yi said, “We’re both Masters in the Dao of Space, and we have each other’s Space Beacons in the form of these beads, which makes it convenient for us to communicate with each other. However, if others want to do the same, they must use a pair of matching Space Spirit Beads. That’s because they can’t use Space Principles to locate us, so they can only rely on the matching Space Spirit Bead to localize our Space Beacons.”

“En, I understand,” Yang Kai nodded. He had realized this point even without Li Wu Yi mentioning it as earlier, when Jiu Feng sent the jade slip back, she didn’t use any Space Spirit Bead.

Li Wu Yi had left some Space Principles on the jade slip, so Jiu Feng just had to activate it, after which the jade slip would automatically return to the corresponding beacon.

Yang Kai then said, “Allow me to reciprocate. Since I’ve learned how to create Space Beacons from Senior, I’d like to invite you to examine the Space Array I’m going to arrange.”

A curious Li Wu Yi asked, “You can arrange Space Arrays?”

With a faint smile, Yang Kai appeared inscrutable, “Please look forward to it, Senior. However, it’s a fair bit more complicated to set it up, and I’m not as skilful as you are yet, so please be patient with me.”

Chapter 3325

Yang Kai was pretty skillful at arranging Space Arrays. Without even moving somewhere else, he directly started working on it in the empty space beside the gazebo.

With his hands behind his back, Li Wu Yi watched silently from the side as a myriad of expressions came over him including surprise, doubt, shock, and enlightenment, as if he had gained a great deal of insight and inspiration by just observing.

Half a day later, the Space Array had taken shape. After examining it to make sure that there were no issues, Yang Kai turned to look at Li Wu Yi, “Senior, please have a look.”

Li Wu Yi shot him a meaningful look before stepping onto the Space Array. As Space Principles fluctuated, he closed his eyes and silently sensed his surroundings.

A moment later, he said, “Have you added some kind of restriction to this Space Array? It seems that a special method is required to activate it.”

Yang Kai put on a grin, “Senior is quite perceptive. A specially made Space Token is needed to activate any Space Array that I’ve arranged. Without a token, it will be useless.”

Li Wu Yi nodded his head, “This restriction is indeed ingenious as it can prevent any ill-intentioned people from misusing this array. It also seems to be connected to many places, but…”

“But what?” Yang Kai looked smilingly at him.

Li Wu Yi frowned and spoke in a way as if he was asking himself a question, “But why do the connected places feel so distant from each other?” He suddenly opened his eyes as a glint flashed across them and exclaimed, “This is a Cross-Territory Space Array!?”

“Cross-Territory Space Array!?” A shocked Jiu Feng widened her mouth in an alluring manner. Gazing at Li Wu Yi, she asked, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Li Wu Yi slowly shook his head, “Although I don’t know where the places this array is connected to are, there are multiple locations and they’re quite far from each other, far exceeding the limits of what ordinary Space Arrays are capable of. Yang Kai, is this really a Cross-Territory Space Array?”

Yang Kai nodded, “Senior really does have sharp vision. This is indeed a Cross-Territory Space Array.”

Jiu Feng turned to look at him in disbelief, “To think you can build a Cross-Territory Space Array…”

An embarrassed Yang Kai said, “Compared to Senior Li’s Space Beacon, my array is too complicated and inflexible.”

Jiu Feng couldn’t help but roll her eyes, “En, in comparison, his technique is too simplistic.”

Ignoring her snipe, Li Wu Yi remained on the array as he studied it in amazement. He had seen some Cross-Territory Space Arrays before, but there were only a small number of them in the entire Star Boundary, and all of them were relics from ancient times. Although some were still intact, most were no longer usable. He had studied them for some time, but he couldn’t unravel the secrets behind them. Nevertheless, he managed to invent Space Beacons thanks to his efforts.

However, he had never expected that Yang Kai would be able to arrange a Cross-Territory Space Array.

“Where are the places that this array is connected to?” Li Wu Yi asked curiously.

“It’s connected to the Southern Territory and the Northern Territory. We can also go to the Ancient Wild Lands in the Eastern Territory.”

Li Wu Yi was at a loss for words for a moment, “It seems that you’ve been to many places.”

Yang Kai had to personally go to those places to arrange a Cross-Territory Space Array as well as make necessary calibrations before they could be linked together and used.

Li Wu Yi understood this and if it were him, visiting so many places throughout his life would not be odd, but Yang Kai was still quite young. Nonetheless, he had seemingly managed to travel to every Territory in the Star Boundary. He had even visited a place like the Ancient Wild Lands and left behind a Space Array there. His experiences alone far outstripped those of his generation.

After giving it a thought, Li Wu Yi said, “I’m curious about where you obtained this array chart from. Did you come up with it yourself?”

The foundation of a Space Array was its chart. Everything was built around that, a blueprint in essence. Without this array chart, it would be a dead creation, a useless collection of rare materials. In the past, Li Wu Yi had spent some time trying to design just such an array chart, but he couldn’t really piece one together. However, he hadn’t expected that he would come across a complete array, drawn by Yang Kai, here. Thus, he was curious.

After pondering on it for a moment, Yang Kai asked, “Senior, do you know Yang Yan?”

“Yang Yan?” Li Wu Yi arched his brow, “You mean the one in the Star Court?”

A smiling Yang Kai replied, “It seems that Senior does know her.”

A curious Jiu Feng asked, “What’s wrong? Do you know her?”

Yang Kai said, “We’re old friends.”

[Old friends?] Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng traded glances as they were rendered speechless. Yang Yan was basically in the same realm as them, and although Yang Kai’s cultivation was fairly high, he was still only a Second-Order Emperor. Moreover, he was only about a hundred years old, so they couldn’t believe that he claimed to be Yang Yan’s ‘old friend’.

If anyone else had said such a thing, they would have thought that they were bluffing. However, since it was Yang Kai who said so, it didn’t seem that absurd at all.

“As Seniors know, I’m from a Lower Star Field. In the past, Yang Yan also lived in that same Star Field; however, her body was seriously injured and forced into a comatose state while her Soul Clone was trapped there. It was during that time that her Soul Clone and I got to know each other, and I obtained this array chart from her.”

As Yang Kai spoke, he walked down memory lane and felt nostalgic, “She truly helped me a lot back then.”

“So, it’s her!” Li Wu Yi fell into a dazed state.

Jiu Feng said, “I heard that she’s unrivalled in both the Dao of Spirit Arrays and the Dao of Artifact Refining, but I’m not sure if it’s true. However, if it’s her, everything falls into place.”

Although Yang Yan knew nothing about Space Principles, her mastery of Spirit Arrays was peerless. Nanmen Da Jun and the other Array Masters were not comparable to her at all. A Space Array was also a kind of Spirit Array, so it wasn’t strange that Yang Yan knew how to design one. However, since she couldn’t use Space Principles, she was unable to actually arrange a Space Array.

Li Wu Yi nodded before pondering, “At the mention of that woman, I recall a certain rumour.”

“What is it?” Jiu Feng looked curiously at him.

Li Wu Yi replied, “There was a man in the past who was so adept in the Dao of Space that he was qualified to become a Great Emperor. His achievements and comprehension even exceeded my own. He could be said to be one of the most talented Masters in history, but he disappeared all of a sudden one day. No one knew where he went. It’s said that Yang Yan is his friend, and they were on very good terms.”

Upon finishing his words, he shook his head, “It’s just a rumour, and I don’t know whether it’s true or not.”

While he was unsure, Yang Kai had his expression change upon hearing that. That was because when Yang Yan passed the Sealed World Bead to him, she said it was given to her by a friend. As for who her friend was and whether he was alive, she didn’t mention anything at all. However, she decided to give the bead to Yang Kai because he cultivated the Dao of Space, so the bead would be useful in his hands.

Connecting that to what Li Wu Yi had said, Yang Kai knew that there must be some truth to this rumour.

The Sealed World Bead was an independent world unto itself, but it wasn’t a natural creation. Someone must have refined it, and anyone capable of such a feat would need an extremely high comprehension of the Dao of Space. Yang Kai knew that he wasn’t capable of this even with his current achievements.

Jiu Feng said with a smile. “Since it’s just a rumour, we can’t believe it completely.”

Li Wu Yi burst into laughter, “Forget it, then. However, this array does give me a lot of inspiration. Please allow me to take more time to study it.” With that, he closed his eyes and stood there.

Yang Kai and Jiu Feng then returned to the gazebo and waited for him.

An hour later, Li Wu Yi came back with a joyful expression as he looked at Yang Kai, “After I return to Spirit Beast Island, you should come over at some point and arrange a corresponding array there so that we can visit each other more conveniently.”

Yang Kai laughed heartily, “Good.”

Li Wu Yi had a Space Spirit Bead that Yang Kai had just refined, so if Li Wu Yi was on Spirit Beast Island, Yang Kai could immediately head there, and it wouldn’t be difficult for him to arrange another Space Array.

His expression suddenly turning solemn, Yang Kai said, “Senior, there’s something I need you to enlighten me on.”

Li Wu Yi replied, “Go ahead.”

“Senior is familiar with the man I fought earlier, correct?” Yang Kai asked.

“You mean Cang Mo? En, we can be considered acquaintances,” Li Wu Yi replied.

[So that bastard’s name is Cang Mo… I was planning to force him to tell me himself one day after he disdained me back when we first met, but I suppose it’s irrelevant now…] Yang Kai thought to himself. 

Shaking off this extraneous thought, Yang Kai continued, “When I was in a battle against the two Sects earlier, the space around us had been blocked off somehow; however, even after carefully probing my surroundings at the time, I couldn’t find any traces of an array. No one from those two Sects was capable of such a thing, so I assume it was that Cang Mo’s doing. Without a Spirit Array designed to isolate space though, how did that purple-robed bastard accomplish that? I know he is at best a novice in the Dao of Space, so what method did he use to seal that space?”

He had to get to the bottom of it. Otherwise, if he came across any formidable enemy who was able to block off the world like that again, he wouldn’t be able to break free.

Seeing that Yang Kai was looking inquisitively at him, Li Wu Yi suddenly appeared embarrassed while Jiu Feng burst into a fit of laughter to the side.

Yang Kai asked curiously, “Senior, why are you laughing?”

[Was there something funny in my question?]

Between bouts of laughter, Jiu Feng explained while pointing at Li Wu Yi, “You can blame him for that. It wasn’t Cang Mo who isolated that area, but him.”

Upon hearing that, Yang Kai was astounded, “Two Seniors were already there at that time?”

Jiu Feng waved her hands, “That’s not what I meant. What I mean is…”

Li Wu Yi heaved a sigh, “It’s alright, I’ll tell him.”

Coughing awkwardly, Li Wu Yi explained, “This is what happened. As you know, there are not many people in this world who cultivate the Dao of Space, so it’s hard to find anyone to hold even a cursory discussion about it with. Honestly speaking, before I met you, there was no one in the entire Star Boundary that I could really discuss the Dao of Space with. It felt quite lonely when I was the only one pursuing this Dao, so whenever anyone came to me to seek advice about it, I gained a habit of explaining things without any reservation.”

A solemn Yang Kai said, “Senior is most generous to share his wisdom. This Junior is impressed.”

Li Wu Yi appeared even more embarrassed at those words as he continued, “A few months ago, Cang Mo suddenly came to Spirit Beast Island and asked me some questions about Space Principles, so I had a chat with him.”

Then, he looked meekly at Yang Kai, “We discussed a few issues, and one of them was the most effective method to isolate a region of space from the rest of the world…”

Yang Kai’s jaw dropped as he fell into a dazed state for a moment before he pulled himself together and asked, “So, it was Senior who taught Cang Mo how to seal off space?”

Li Wu Yi placed a fist on his mouth and coughed, “Cang Mo and I have known each other for years, and although we don’t share a deep friendship, we’re not on bad terms either. He knows a thing or two about the Dao of Space as well, so speaking with him was refreshing. En… I really didn’t expect that his intention in asking such a question was to deal with you.”

Chapter 3326

If Li Wu Yi knew that Cang Mo had such an ulterior motive, he wouldn’t have shared his knowledge with him for the latter to use against Yang Kai.

In his defence, Li Wu Yi wasn’t even aware that there were grudges between Yang Kai and Cang Mo; after all, there was a huge gap between the latter two when it came to their power and status. While one was a Pseudo-Great Emperor and a member of the Star Court, the other was a rising star who was in the Second-Order Emperor Realm. Yang Kai and Cang Mo logically wouldn’t even come into contact with each other for another few hundred years.

So, when Cang Mo asked him about Space Principles, Li Wu Yi didn’t conceal anything. Now that Yang Kai asked about it, however, Li Wu Yi felt slightly embarrassed. Although he didn’t mean to, he still had caused some trouble for Yang Kai.

Fortunately, Yang Kai had many cards up his sleeves. Any other Second-Order Emperor Realm Master would’ve fallen into Cang Mo’s hands by now, and their life or death would no longer be their own to control.

“So that’s how it is!” Yang Kai nodded gently and put on a smile, “Senior need not blame himself, Cang Mo was the only one with ill intentions, so this matter has nothing to do with you.”

An embarrassed Li Wu Yi, however, shook his head, “No, I’m still partly responsible for what happened. Fortunately, nothing serious happened to you…”

Yang Kai changed the topic by saying, “So, what did you teach him? Given his comprehension of the Dao of Space, I’m curious about how he was able to seal off a region of space without my noticing.”

Li Wu Yi explained, “Space is ubiquitous, and even when damaged by external forces, it is able to heal itself under the influence of World Principles. I’m sure you understand this much.”

Yang Kai nodded, “Naturally, I’ve torn space countless times before.”

A smiling Li Wu Yi went on to ask, “When you tear space to enter the Void, did you notice that the barriers of said space have strong and weak points?”

Yang Kai nodded once more, “En, the fabric of space in some places is quite tough, while it’s relatively weak in others. It takes far more effort to tear about strong points in space than weak points.”

Li Wu Yi said, “That’s right. Even space has strong and weak points, and the points where space is the frailest are referred to as Space Nodes.”

“Space Node?” Yang Kai arched his brow.

Li Wu Yi waved his hand as Space Principles undulated and covered a radius of about a thousand metres around them, “Sense it and tell me how many Space Nodes there are in this region.”

Yang Kai closed his eyes and probed. A moment later, he opened his eyes and replied, “There are three. There’s one that is three hundred metres to Senior’s left, another one hundred and fifty metres behind you, and the last is seven hundred metres away to your right.”

“Good, these three places are what I’m talking about. If you want to leave this place using instantaneous movement, you would have to make use of one of these three Space Nodes to enter the Void. Now look…” As Li Wu Yi spoke, the Space Principles around them undulated and a seemingly tangible substance rapidly filled in those three Space Nodes.

Yang Kai’s expression changed, “The space has been sealed off!”

Li Wu Yi looked smilingly at him and stopped using his Divine Ability, “Do you understand now?”

After pondering on it for a moment, Yang Kai lifted his head and asked, “Senior, do you mean that if someone can seal off all the surrounding Space Nodes, they can essentially block off this region of space without anyone knowing and make it impossible to enter the Void?”

“That’s right.” Li Wu Yi nodded, “If we liken the world to a bottle, these Space Nodes are like fissures. When we use instantaneous movement, we need to pass through these fissures to leave the bottle. Once these loopholes are blocked, we become trapped inside the bottle.”

It wasn’t the first time Yang Kai had heard the world referred to as a bottle. Nevertheless, Li Wu Yi’s explanation was clear and precise.

In fact, Yang Kai had realised this truth a long time ago and he had been making use of it ever since; however, after hearing Li Wu Yi’s explanation, it was as if a realisation dawned upon him.

Still feeling puzzled, however, he asked, “Senior, given your mastery over the Dao of Space, it isn’t hard for you to block these Space Nodes. But how did Cang Mo do it?”

Given Cang Mo’s attainment in the Dao of Space, even if he could detect Space Nodes, there was no way he could secretly block them.

Li Wu Yi explained, “My guess is he made use of an artifact. That was a suggestion I gave him. It seems that he asked someone to refine a special artifact for this purpose. As for what that artifact was, we probably would not be able to find out now. Your battle with him undoubtedly destroyed all the blockades. Although space can technically be blocked using this method, it’s still possible to break through with enough force.”

Yang Kai took a deep breath, “If he could overpower me, he could have captured me with ease.”

Cang Mo’s plan would have been perfect, if he had not underestimated just how much Yang Kai’s strength had grown since their last encounter. Any other Second-Order Emperor Realm Master could never have escaped in that kind of situation even if they were an expert in the Dao of Space.

However, Cang Mo’s opponent was Yang Kai, who was able to transform into a 300-metre-long Half-Dragon, and with the help of the Embodiment, Yang Kai was able to fight against him head-on.

Upon understanding the method employed, Yang Kai believed that hardly anyone could deal with him using this same tactic again. At the very least, he could have his guard up in advance. Even if the Space Nodes were blocked again, he could focus on breaking through them to flee.

As the sun sank and the moon rose, Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi sat across from each other and continued their discussion, all while Jiu Feng kept them company to the side, looking quite bored. 

In the end, their discussion lasted for three full days.

During the past three days, Tang Sheng and Qian Xiu Ying from Heavenly Wolf Valley had visited several times; after all, with Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng as guests, the Valley Master and Vice-Valley Master had to show appropriate hospitality. However, they didn’t expect that they couldn’t even meet their guests.

Before they even approached the gazebo, they could feel the surrounding space vibrate, as if it was going to collapse at any moment; however, looking from afar, they could only see Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi chatting happily as they occasionally made gestures with their hands.

Sighing many times over the past three days, Tang Sheng often thought how bright Yang Kai’s future would be. As a Second-Order Emperor Realm, he was able to have a discussion on cultivation with a top Master like Li Wu Yi. When he became more powerful in the future, he would be a force to be reckoned with.

Their valley had truly missed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Tang Sheng secretly heaved a sigh again. He had lived for many years, but it seemed his vision was poorer than that of his Disciple.

Three days later, both Yang Kai and Li Wu Yi appeared refreshed and energetic. Although they had spent almost the entire time discussing the Dao of Space, they were not exhausted at all and instead were more vigorous as each of them had gained much from their exchange.

Yang Kai suddenly uttered, “Senior, I have a request for you.”

Li Wu Yi looked smilingly at him, “Do you want to spar with me?”

A shocked Yang Kai asked, “Is it that obvious?”

Li Wu Yi put on a faint smile, “Your gaze suggests that you’re tempted to have a fight. How could I not notice?”

Yang Kai nodded and replied seriously, “I’ve never competed against someone who is also a Master of the Dao of Space. Please forgive this Junior’s presumptuous request, but can Senior fight and enlighten me?”

Li Wu Yi uttered, “What a coincidence. I had a similar thought in mind.”

After trading glances, the two flew out of the gazebo. The next moment, they were hovering mid-air across from each other with a distance of about a thousand metres between them, as if they had agreed upon it beforehand.

With a solemn expression, Yang Kai shouted, “Senior, your cultivation is incredibly profound, so I won’t hold back at all. Please take note.”

Li Wu Yi replied, “Although I won’t go all out, I won’t suppress my power too much either. Hopefully, you’ll have a graceful loss.”

Yang Kai grinned and bellowed, “Let’s begin!”

Upon finishing his words, he clapped his hands together before sliding them apart, drawing a Moon Blade between them as he said with a grin, “This is a Space Divine Ability that I created. I call it Moon Blade. Please have a try!”

With that, he hurled the pitch-black Moon Blade at Li Wu Yi.

A serious-looking Li Wu Yi praised, “You’re able to condense the power of the Void into a thin crescent blade, wonderful!”

Despite his solemn expression, his demeanour still appeared nonchalant. Faced with the Moon Blade, Li Wu Yi didn’t even have the intention of evading and it wasn’t until the Moon Blade neared him that he waved his hand.

As Space Principles rippled, the dark Moon Blade vanished into thin air. The Space Divine Ability was disrupted by Li Wu Yi using pure Space Principles. It was the first time Yang Kai’s Moon Blade had ever been erased by an opponent in such a manner.

“Fascinating!” Yang Kai complemented but didn’t slow his movements. With a flick of his fingers, he launched a dense barrage of smaller Moon Blades at Li Wu Yi, as if trying to slice him into a million pieces.

Li Wu Yi burst into laughter, “The same move won’t have any effect on me.” He lifted his hand before pressing down, upon which all the Moon Blades vanished before they could even approach. All of a sudden, though, Li Wu Yi’s expression turned solemn as he arched his brow, “You hid a fatal move inside the storm of blades.”

With a grin, Yang Kai made a grabbing gesture and shouted, “Exile!”

Right then, a huge black hole appeared on the spot where Li Wu Yi was located. Like an ominous beast that had opened its mouth wide, the hole sucked its target inside.

In a flash, both the black hole and Li Wu Yi disappeared from sight.

An excited Jiu Feng asked, “Did you kill him?”

Looking from afar, Qiong Qi shot her a look as his face twitched, [What’s wrong with this woman? Why does she look so happy at the thought of Li Wu Yi getting killed? Aren’t they together?]

Without answering her question, Yang Kai’s expression remained quite solemn as his eyes darted about.

Just then, Li Wu Yi’s voice could be heard from all around, as if the world itself was speaking, “Brat, take my fist!”

As soon as those words were spoken, a fist suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai without any warning. Moreover, only a fist had appeared, without an arm or body at all, making it look quite eerie. However, judging from the skin colour and size of the fist, it obviously belonged to Li Wu Yi.

Although Yang Kai had his guard up the whole time, he never expected that Li Wu Yi would attack him in such a strange way. Nevertheless, it was too late for him to dodge so he swiftly pushed his Space Principles, “Nihility!”

At that instant, Yang Kai’s figure became transparent as his body merged into the Void in an attempt to avoid the attack.

“Oh?” Li Wu Yi could be heard exclaiming in surprise. He hadn’t expected that Yang Kai would evade his strike at the most critical moment by using such a move.

Nevertheless, he still had a way to deal with Yang Kai. A ripple was suddenly formed around the fist, which then vanished into thin air.

The next moment, Yang Kai showed up again in a nearby place, but his expression was grave. Then, he immediately disappeared into the Void again.

After repeatedly appearing and disappearing a few times, Yang Kai stopped moving and patted his own chest with a bitter smile. Shaking his head, he uttered, “Senior’s methods are powerful and profound. This Junior admits defeat.”

Chapter 3327

“Tsk. You are going to admit defeat just like that?” Jiu Feng shot Yang Kai a look. It was a rare opportunity to witness two Masters of the Dao of Space fight, so she thought that the battle was going to be intense and exciting. However, after only trading a few moves, Yang Kai decided to give up, which caused her to be unable to enjoy herself to the fullest. After sizing Yang Kai up, she asked, “Did he hit you?”

Yang Kai nodded but didn’t explain himself.

Although Jiu Feng was powerful, she was unable to make out Li Wu Yi’s move just now. His fist took twists and turns in the Void as it relentlessly tailed Yang Kai. No matter how hard Yang Kai tried, he could never evade it. In the end, Li Wu Yi’s fist lightly came into contact with Yang Kai. It was one hit but once it landed, Li Wu Yi immediately retracted it. In their competition on the use of Space Divine Abilities, Yang Kai had undoubtedly lost. While his moves were useless against Li Wu Yi, the latter was able to hit him with ease. It was apparent who the stronger one was.

“I’m grateful for your guidance today, Senior.” Yang Kai cupped his fists respectfully, “I’ll work harder so that I’ll be able to defeat you one day.”

Li Wu Yi guffawed, “Good. I’ll be waiting for that day.”

A smiling Yang Kai said, “I have nothing else to do, so I’ll take my leave now. I’ll go to Spirit Beast Island to visit two Seniors another day.”

Li Wu Yi raised his hand, “There’s no hurry. Don’t leave first. There’s something I need you to help me with.”

A doubtful Yang Kai asked, “What is it?”

“Just wait a moment,” upon finishing his words, Li Wu Yi moved and disappeared from sight.

After investigating the surroundings with his Divine Sense, Yang Kai realised that he couldn’t detect Li Wu Yi’s aura and determined that he must have used his Space Beacons to instantly move somewhere far away.

As such, Yang Kai turned to look at Jiu Feng with an inquisitive gaze, to which she said, “Stop looking at me. I don’t know what he’s up to.”

Yang Kai nodded. Since Jiu Feng had said that she had no idea, it must be the truth. Realising that it was pointless to ask anything further, he decided to wait patiently.

After the time it would take to boil a cup of tea, a visible fluctuation of Space Principles could be seen beside Jiu Feng. Following that, Li Wu Yi’s figure appeared together with one other person.

She was a young girl with a butterfly-shaped mark on her alluring face. She gave off an innocent and youthful charm; however, the butterfly mark, which covered half of her cheek, ruined her overall beauty. She was clad in a modest green dress, which perfectly outlined her rather curvy figure which contrasted with her baby face.

As soon as the young girl appeared, she looked around dazedly before quickly meeting Yang Kai’s eyes.

“Xiao Qi?” Surprise was written all over Yang Kai’s face.

“Big Brother Yang?” Mo Xiao Qi’s gaze brightened as she appeared elated. Then, she hurriedly left Li Wu Yi’s side and charged toward Yang Kai. Suddenly realising something, she stopped in her tracks and stabilised herself on a spot that was ten metres away from him. With a flushing face, she asked, “Are you really Big Brother Yang?”

“Of course it’s me. Who else could it be?” Yang Kai put on a faint smile and combed his hair back with both hands, as if he wanted to allow Mo Xiao Qi to see his face clearly.

A pleasantly surprised Mo Xiao Qi tilted her head slightly and asked, “Why are you in the Eastern Territory?”

“I came here to attend to some matters when I happened to come across Senior Li and Senior Jiu Feng.”

Mo Xiao Qi shot him a glance and pouted, “Since you came to the Eastern Territory, why didn’t you visit me on Spirit Beast Island? Did Big Brother Yang forget all about me?”

A smiling Yang Kai replied, “I wanted to go to Spirit Beast Island, but I didn’t know how to get there, so I was delayed.”

“I see…” After a nod, Mo Xiao Qi placed her hands behind her back and leaned forward slightly as she said coquettishly, “Alright, then. The next time you come to the Eastern Territory, you must come to Spirit Beast Island first!”

“Of course, of course.” Yang Kai gave a nod.

Looking from a nearby spot, Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng couldn’t help but sigh.

Jiu Feng spoke to him using her Divine Sense, “Things are looking terrible. Why did you bring this little girl here?”

Li Wu Yi replied, “When I sent a message to the Great Emperor a few days ago, I mentioned that Yang Kai was going to Dragon Island, so Sir wanted me to fetch Xiao Qi so that she could follow this boy to meet Mistress on Dragon Island.”

Upon learning the reason behind it, Jiu Feng heaved a sigh, “It’s indeed time they met. It’s been so many years since Xiao Qi was born, but she has never met her mother. Poor girl, when she was a child, she kept asking me whether she was picked up by the Great Emperor from somewhere…”

Li Wu Yi sighed as well, “Our previous mission there was too dangerous, so we didn’t bring Xiao Qi along. She has been pouting because of that ever since.”

Upon hearing that, Jiu Feng recalled what happened more than ten years ago and shuddered. After a nod, she said, “It’s good for Xiao Qi to meet her mother; however, isn’t the Great Emperor worried that those old Dragon Clan coots will… En, with Mistress around, those Dragons wouldn’t dare to do anything to Xiao Qi. Moreover, Yang Kai is going as well. They are going to have a hard time dealing with him alone, so they won’t have any time to harm Xiao Qi. Hahaha. That’s a great move by Sir. He wants Yang Kai to be the centre of hatred so that Xiao Qi and Mistress can have a proper reunion.”

As they communicated with each other using their Divine Senses, Yang Kai and Mo Xiao Qi were also whispering among themselves. As if they were talking about something funny, Mo Xiao Qi covered her mouth and giggled while Yang Kai shook his head with a helpless smile.

Li Wu Yi stepped forward and said, “Yang Kai, since you’re going to Dragon Island, bring Xiao Qi with you. Someone is waiting for her over there…”

Upon hearing that, Yang Kai took a look at Mo Xiao Qi and understood what was going on. Fu Xuan must be missing her daughter, so he spoke to Li Wu Yi using his Divine Sense, “Is Xiao Qi aware of this?”

Li Wu Yi gave a nod and replied, “En. The Great Emperor did not hide anything from her; however, you have to take care of her when both of you are there.”

With a solemn expression, Yang Kai stated, “Senior, please rest assured, no harm will come to Xiao Qi.”

A smiling Li Wu Yi said, “If the Great Emperor didn’t trust you, he wouldn’t have allowed Xiao Qi to come here. Good. After you’re finished, remember to bring Xiao Qi back to Spirit Beast Island.”

“En.” With that, Yang Kai cupped his fists, “We’ll take our leave first, then.”

“Be careful on your way there.” Li Wu Yi gave a wide smile and an affirming nod.

Yang Kai turned to look into the distance, only to see Lan He gazing at him from afar. With a smile, he waved to her. Lan He was startled for a moment before she understood what he meant. In response, she also waved.

Since Ling Yin Qin was nowhere in sight, Yang Kai decided not to disturb her. Then, he beckoned to Qiong Qi and said, “Let’s go.”

Stepping forward, Qiong Qi sized Mo Xiao Qi up and understood why Yang Kai wouldn’t want to call him ‘Xiao Qi.’ It because there was already a young girl with the same name.

His wrinkled face and beady eyes made Mo Xiao Qi feel apprehensive as an idea sprang into her mind. [This old man is a bad person!]

Qiong Qi flashed what he thought was a harmless smile at Mo Xiao Qi, but the latter just shrunk back slightly and pursed her lips, as if wary of him.

A frustrated Qiong Qi turned around, only to see Yang Kai staring fixedly at him. Straightening his face, he asked with curiosity, “Young Master, what can I do for you?”

A surprised Yang Kai replied, “Do I even need to give you such simple orders? Since you’ve acknowledged me as your Master, you should assume your duties.”

Upon hearing that, Qiong Qi was puzzled for a moment. Nevertheless, he soon understood what Yang Kai meant as his face twitched, “Young Master, do you…”

“Hmm?” Yang Kai shot him a look.

Qiong Qi appeared bashful and hesitant as his gaze darted around.

Seeing that, Yang Kai immediately turned and cupped his fists to Li Wu Yi, “Senior, I’m afraid I must go back on my word. Please use your Divine Ability and take this old fart away.”

Right after he finished speaking, Qiong Qi roared and transformed into a 50-metre-long, ten-metre-wide gigantic beast. He looked like a winged tiger with two horns on his forehead. All his fur was red and his wings were so huge that they seemed able to shade Heaven and Earth. He also appeared imposing and majestic.

As he snorted, visible fiery breaths could be seen puffing out of his nostrils.

An elated Yang Kai thought to himself, [It seems this old man does know how to act.]

After circling around Qiong Qi once, Yang Kai nodded in approval before leaping up onto his back. Then, he beckoned to Mo Xiao Qi, “Come on.”

At that moment, Mo Xiao Qi was dumbfounded. Although there were many Monster Beasts on Spirit Beast Island, and even a Divine Spirit like Jiu Feng, it was the first time she saw a mount like Qiong Qi. She had just seen the old man’s Human form, but recalling his fleshy face, she instinctively felt repulsed.

Nevertheless, after Yang Kai beckoned to her, she still joyfully jumped onto Qiong Qi’s back.

“Farewell!” Yang Kai cupped his fists at Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng before he tapped Qiong Qi with his foot.

After that, Qiong Qi flapped his wings and shot into the sky. Upon turning into a beam of red light, he dashed into the distance at incredible speed. If he did not have such incredible speed, he would have been captured by Li Wu Yi long ago.

Looking in the direction Yang Kai had left, Li Wu Yi said, “Let’s return.”

Jiu Feng nodded. The reason they came all the way here was to capture Qiong Qi, but since the latter was now under Yang Kai’s wings, whatever he did had nothing to do with them anymore, as Yang Kai would be responsible for keeping him in line. If Qiong Qi really did commit some great evil, it wouldn’t be too late for them to make a move.

The next moment, Li Wu Yi manipulated the Space Principles and disappeared from the spot with Jiu Feng.

Moments later, Tang Sheng and Qian Xiu Ying, who had been looking from afar, moved forward to take a look around. Upon making sure that all their guests had really left, they heaved a sigh of relief. It was indeed an honour for Heavenly Wolf Valley to receive such illustrious figures; however, the huge gap between their powers made it stressful to serve them.

Since their guests were gone, they could finally be at ease.

Although their guests were no longer around, there seemed to be some remaining fluctuations of Space Principles around the gazebo. There was even an array that had been left behind. Tang Sheng and the others observed the array for a long time before they concluded it was a Space Array. They weren’t sure whether the array was arranged by Li Wu Yi or Yang Kai; however, after several attempts, they realised that they couldn’t activate it. Of course, they wouldn’t dare to destroy it either. Left with no choice, they decided to make the gazebo a Restricted Area, and the average disciples were not allowed to come here; after all, this place was where two great Masters of the Dao of Space had held a lengthy discussion, so it would be a shame if it was simply neglected. Sometime later, they decided to pick some disciples with outstanding aptitude to come here to study the array and see whether they could gain any useful insights.

It would be beneficial for the valley if even one of their disciples happened to be able to cultivate the Dao of Space.

Chapter 3328

The sun was high above the sky and no clouds could be seen.

A beam of red shot across the Heavens and disappeared into the distance. Even if anyone happened to see it, they couldn’t make out what the red light was.

Qiong Qi’s speed could only be described as lightning fast.

He indeed lived up to his reputation as a highly ranked Ancient Divine Spirit. Although he wasn’t as prestigious as Dragons or Phoenixes, he could still arouse awe and fear from others.

More importantly, Qiong Qi’s back was broad and comfortable, so Yang Kai and Mo Xiao Qi could sit across from each other while not feeling cramped at all. Mo Xiao Qi had laid a thick layer of animal skin rug on Qiong Qi’s back and she and Yang Kai were seated on it chatting happily.

The last time they met was in the Shattered Star Sea. At that time, Mo Xiao Qi had become enraged and lifted the seal on her face, almost going berserk in the process. It was only thanks to Zhang Ruo Xi’s blood that this rampage was suppressed.

Many years had passed since that incident.

Time flew by, but a friendship forged could last forever. Since Mo Xiao Qi was born, she had spent most of her life on Spirit Beast Island. The first time she snuck out from home, she came across Yang Kai in the Southern Territory. Naturally, she treasured this precious friend of hers. 

In fact, Yang Kai was still wondering how Mo Xiao Qi managed to go from the Eastern Territory to the Southern Territory at that time. She wasn’t powerful back then, and there was a vast distance between the two territories. Without any escorts, how was she able to travel across such a long distance?

Now, it was apparent to Yang Kai that it was Li Wu Yi and Jiu Feng who had been protecting her in secret. Of course, the young girl still thought that she had successfully snuck out of her home and was proud of her achievement.

Mo Xiao Qi was an inexperienced girl while Yang Kai had travelled widely and seen many things, so there were a lot of topics they could talk about; however, most of the time, it was Yang Kai who did the talking while Mo Xiao Qi cupped her face and listened attentively to him.

At the mention of the old swindler they came across in Maplewood City, they tacitly laughed.

In the past, they were truly two reckless youths. Bustling World Great Emperor had disguised himself as an ordinary person as he roamed around the world, but he was regarded as a swindler by them. They were still somewhat annoyed with the Great Emperor because of this.

As time passed, Yang Kai could clearly feel a change in Mo Xiao Qi’s emotions though. She became increasingly nervous, hopeful, and hesitant as they got closer to Dragon Island.

Apparently, she was extremely restless in her heart, as she was going to meet her mother for the first time. She wasn’t even sure how she should face this woman who had given birth to her because she had never met her before.

In the end, she fell completely silent. Even if Yang Kai tried to tell her some funny jokes, she would only force a smile in response.

At that, Yang Kai didn’t have a better solution, so he decided to allow her time to think.

Qiong Qi seemed to know the route to Dragon Island, so Yang Kai didn’t have to use the Dragon Island Token to seek their destination.

A few days later, Qiong Qi landed on a small island in the vast blue ocean.

Yang Kai looked around and asked, “Is this the island closest to Dragon Island?”

Qiong Qi replied in a hushed voice, “Young Master, there’s no island that’s closer to Dragon Island than this one.”

He didn’t understand why Yang Kai wanted to look for such an island; however, since Yang Kai had given the order, he just had to execute it.

“Good. Here will do, then.” Yang Kai nodded and jumped off Qiong Qi’s back with Mo Xiao Qi. After that, he investigated the surroundings with his Divine Sense and found a suitable place.

“Big Brother Yang, what did we come here for?” Mo Xiao Qi looked around curiously. There were countless such islands in the ocean, so this one was nothing special, and nothing precious could be nurtured here; therefore, she didn’t understand why he asked Qiong Qi to look for such a place.

“I want to arrange a Space Array here,” Yang Kai explained.

Just like the Sealed World Bead, Dragon Island was a Sealed World with its own World Principles. Even if Yang Kai arranged a Space Array on Dragon Island, he couldn’t connect it to the other Space Arrays around the Star Boundary because there would be a World Barrier separating them.

Yang Kai knew that he would come into contact with members of the Dragon Clan more often in the future, and it was inconvenient to always fly all the way here, so to save time he decided to leave a Space Array here.

Although he still had to travel a bit to reach Dragon Island, it was much better than if he flew all the way from the Ancient Wild Lands.

Mo Xiao Qi nodded in acknowledgement. Even though she didn’t understand Yang Kai’s intentions completely, she didn’t ask any questions and just obediently followed him around.

Soon, they reached a cave that seemed to be naturally formed with its mouth near the ocean and extending towards the middle of the island.

The inside of the cave was dry, like a natural shelter.

Yang Kai then started working on the array as Mo Xiao Qi assisted him from the side. Of course, being completely inexperienced in this field, she was more of a hindrance than a help, but instead of blaming her, Yang Kai gave her a lot of encouragement, which allowed her to stay motivated.

Half a day later, a new Space Array had been set up. After examining it and making sure that it was functioning properly, Yang Kai and Mo Xiao Qi left the cave.

After they got onto Qiong Qi’s back, the old man flapped his wings and turned around to ask, “Young Master, are we really going to Dragon Island?”

With a smile, Yang Kai asked, “What’s wrong? Are you afraid?”

Qiong Qi replied through gritted teeth, “Nonsense; however, those Dragons have always been so xenophobic, so it’s best to act carefully.”

In fact, he was curious about Yang Kai’s relationship with the Dragon Clan. When he saw Yang Kai transforming into a 300-meter-tall Half-Dragon, he knew that the latter must have a Dragon Bloodline; however, members of the Dragon Clan were extremely disdainful of those who had impure bloodlines. To them, impure Dragon bloodlines were even more repulsive than other races.

Since Yang Kai was just a Dragonkin, he should naturally stay as far from the Dragon Clan as possible instead of venturing into Dragon Island. His actions were akin to walking right into a death trap.

Qiong Qi wanted to warn Yang Kai that there was a Half-Dragon City on Dragon Island where most of the residents were Half-Dragons. They might appear powerful, but they were actually prisoners of the island. Whenever the Dragon Clan needed them, they would be brought to the main island to get their blood drained to nurture Dragon Blood Flowers.

Yang Kai might be trapped in Half-Dragon City and then be taken away to have his blood drawn. Given his Half-Dragon bloodline and his 300-metre Dragon Form, a lot of blood could be drawn from him.

Qiong Qi was annoyed at the fact that Yang Kai bossed him around and regarded him as a mount; however, if Yang Kai really lost his freedom on Dragon Island, those from Spirit Beast Island would come to hunt him down again. Considering his future, he thought that he had to give Yang Kai a warning.

Just then, Yang Kai said with a smile, “No matter how xenophobic they are, they can’t do anything to this Young Master. If they dare to offend me, this Young Master doesn’t mind beating them up.”

Upon hearing this, Qiong Qi had the urge to roll his eyes and thought that his new Master was such a shameless man. Although Yang Kai was fairly powerful, and he was even able to deal with the likes of Cang Mo, Dragon Island was where all members of the Dragon Clan gathered including ten or more Great Dragons. Even Qiong Qi had to be obsequious when he was on the island, otherwise, he would be beaten up and tossed out.

If Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun went all out, even a Great Emperor would find it hard to deal with them. Hence, there was no way Qiong Qi was a match for them. To Qiong Qi, it was laughable that Yang Kai threatened to beat up such powerful Masters. He had lived in this world for many years, but it was the first time he heard this level of shameless boasting.

Yang Kai seemed to have seen through Qiong Qi’s thoughts and leaned forward to ask, “What’s wrong? You don’t believe me?”

Qiong Qi replied, “Of course this Old Master believes you, Young Master. With Young Master’s powerful Divine Ability, how could a few mere lizards match you?”

“It seems that you don’t believe me.” Yang Kai snorted and rolled his eyes, “What if I prove I can put those guys in their place? What will you do?”

With widened eyes, Qiong Qi stared at him, “If Young Master can achieve this, this Old Master will sincerely acknowledge you as his Young Master. Whatever order you give, this Old Master will never dare to disobey.”

“Oh…” Yang Kai said in a weird manner, “Hmm… So, it seems that you have not been sincere when you call me Young Master…”

Shaking his head, Qiong Qi replied, “This Old Master had no choice in that kind of situation. Young Master is an intelligent person, so there’s no point in feigning ignorance.”

Yang Kai nodded, “I’m glad you’re honest with me. If you showed total obedience to me right away, I would have to suspect whether you have ulterior motives.”

“Haha. Please don’t blame me, Young Master, I had no other choice. However, if you can make the members of the Dragon Clan submit to you, you’ll naturally have the right to be my Master, and it won’t be humiliating for me to follow you.”

Qiong Qi paused for a moment, “Nevertheless, if you can’t do that, I only have one request.”

“Go on.”

Qiong Qi put on a smirk, “Please don’t treat me like a mount again. Yes, I was a mount for old Flowing Time; however, I’m pretty old now, so I need to protect my dignity.”

“Good!” Yang Kai nodded casually.

Qiong Qi was both excited and elated as he thought that Yang Kai was such a boastful person. [You’re definitely going to lose this time!]

Although he didn’t mind following Yang Kai around, he was displeased at the fact that he was regarded as a mount.

Flowing Time Great Emperor and Yang Kai were two different people. Yang Kai had cultivated the Time Flies Seal and knew a little about Time Principles, so he could be considered a successor to Flowing Time Great Emperor; however, how could the current Yang Kai be compared to a true Great Emperor?

“Young Master, Dragon Island is right there. Both of you should hold on to me tightly.” Qiong Qi suddenly growled as his gigantic figure moved and plunged into the ocean.

Before he even came into contact with the ocean, the water seemed to separate and reveal a circular passageway that led to its bottom.

As they rapidly passed through the passageway, they realised that not even a drop of water could wet their clothes.

While Yang Kai and Mo Xiao Qi were still admiring this phenomenon, a huge Void Corridor appeared at the bottom of the ocean which led to an unknown place.

Having gone through this experience before, Yang Kai knew that the Void Corridor was connected to Dragon Island. Previously, if he hadn’t used a Dragon Island Token to find this location, he wouldn’t have even imagined that the entrance to Dragon Island lay beneath the sea.

Apparently, it wasn’t the first time Qiong Qi had come to Dragon Island as he plunged into the Void Corridor without any hesitation. At that instant, all the ocean water disappeared, which was then replaced with endless nothingness.

Even the time and space around them seemed to have frozen.

“Em?” Qiong Qi exclaimed as this Void Corridor gave him a feeling that he had been surrounded by murderous intent. It wasn’t like this the last time he came to this place; moreover, upon closer inspection, he realised that he couldn’t find the exit anymore.

At that instant, he tensed up because they would be doomed if they were lost in this Void.

Chapter 3329

While Qiong Qi was nervous, he suddenly heard Yang Kai passing him directions. It was then he recalled that his current Master was an expert in the Dao of Space. Anyone else would get lost in this place, but not Yang Kai. At that instant, he quickly followed his instructions and moved in that direction.

As they took twists and turns, it was as if they were moving in a labyrinth.

A long time later, they finally saw a beam of light in front of them.

Qiong Qi didn’t need any instructions anymore as he knew that it must be the exit. As he flapped his wings, he accelerated his pace and shot out of the Void Corridor.

Their vision brightened as they entered a different world where ample World Energy came right at them. The World Principles, which were slightly different from those of Star Boundary, lingered in the air lightly.

They had arrived at Dragon Island.

Just then, a high-pitched Dragon Roar broke through the sky as a Dragon’s aura could be felt coming from the east. In just a short moment, a 100 metre long Dragon was seen hovering in the air in front of them. The Dragon was covered by a purple aura with two horns on its head, and all its Dragon Scales were glowing faintly. Blocking Qiong Qi’s way, the Dragon raised its head as its Dragon Pressure permeated the place. Looking down, the Dragon spoke in a deafening voice, “How dare you break into Dragon Island!?”

The voice was more feminine than masculine, so it was apparently a female Dragon.

Right after the female Dragon finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes, “Qiong Qi? Is that you, you old fart!”

Obviously, she recognised Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi shook his head and puffed out a visible hot breath. He didn’t appear fearful as he stood arrogantly mid-air. A 100 metre long Dragon was a mere Sixth-Order at most, and such a Dragon could never harm him. Moreover, the reason he came to this place was because he was under Yang Kai’s order. Whatever happened, Yang Kai would be the one to deal with the trouble, so he decided to keep his mouth shut.

On Qiong Qi’s back, Mo Xiao Qi lifted her head to take a look. It was the first time she saw a Pureblood Dragon, so she was curious. In her heart, she wondered if her mother also looked like this in her Dragon form. Meanwhile, she also wondered why she did not have any of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline in her?

“Em?” The Purple Dragon looked at the people on Qiong Qi’s back and stared fixedly at Yang Kai. With her gaze beaming with pleasant surprise, she called out, “Brother-in-law?”

[Brother-in-law?] Qiong Qi was dumbfounded. [Who is your Brother-in-law? Who could be your brother-in-law here? I definitely have nothing to do with the Dragon Clan. Mo Xiao Qi is just a Human girl. Could it be…]

At the thought of this, Qiong Qi’s look was transformed by shock.

Yang Kai could be heard speaking from the old man’s back dispassionately, “Stop spouting nonsense. Who is your Brother-in-law?”

Ignoring his refutation, the Purple Dragon flashed as her 100-metre-long figure contorted and transformed into a young woman clad in a purple dress. She was Fu Ling, who once brought Yang Kai to the island where Dragon Blood Flowers were nurtured.

There were around twenty members of the Dragon Clan on Dragon Island, and all of them had very pure bloodlines, but their ranks were vastly different. The longest and mightiest Dragons were the Great Elder and Second Elder, who had Tenth-Order bloodlines. Following that, Fu Xuan, Zhu Kong, and Zhu Qing had Ninth-Order bloodlines. Then, Eighth-Order, Seventh-Order, Sixth-Order, Fifth-Order and so on.

A Dragon Clan member’s bloodline would become purer as time passed. It could be said that the longer one lived, the higher rank their bloodline would become. Certainly, aptitude and the benefits of consuming Dragon Blood Flowers had to be taken into consideration as well.

The female Dragon here, Fu Ling, was a Sixth-Order Purple Dragon.

Previously, after she was forced to bring Yang Kai to the place where Dragon Blood Flowers were nurtured, Yang Kai had basically stolen all the mature spirit flowers. After the matter was exposed, Fu Ling was naturally punished, sent here to guard the entrance to Dragon Island.

If it weren’t because the Elders knew that Yang Kai had such a strange bloodline, and the fact that Fu Ling was powerless to resist him, she would have been thrown into the Dragon Grave and left alone to perish for committing such a crime.

After Fu Ling assumed Human form, she leapt onto Qiong Qi’s back and faced Yang Kai. They were just a hand’s length apart as the fragrance on her body came right at him. With her hands behind her back, she looked like an inexperienced young girl as she leaned forward and put on a smirk, “Of course it’s you. Who else in the world has the right to make me call him brother-in-law?”

Yang Kai subconsciously leaned backwards as he was worried that he would accidentally come into contact with her plump bosom.

Seeing that, Fu Ling decided to be cheeky as leaned forward further.

With a dark expression, Yang Kai scolded, “We have nothing to do with each other, so how could you call me brother-in-law? Fu Ling, please stop spouting nonsense.”

A grinning Fu Ling said, “I’m not speaking nonsense. You’re indeed my brother-in-law.” As she spoke, she took a step forward.

Before Yang Kai managed to step backwards, Mo Xiao Qi suddenly charged forward and wedged between Yang Kai and Fu Ling. With her arms spread wide, she seemed determined to protect Yang Kai as she rebuked with a flushing face, “What are you doing? Why do you have to lean so close to Brother Yang when you’re just talking?”

Apparently, she had seen through Fu Ling’s intentions, so she was furious that someone was coveting the man she liked.

Fu Ling shot her a glance and snorted, “Where did an ugly girl like you come from? I’m talking to my brother-in-law, so what does it have anything to do with you? Shoo shoo, if not, Great Aunt here will beat you up.”

Mo Xiao Qi had never experienced such humiliation before. She was the Little Princess of Spirit Beast Island whose power was second only to her father. She was always respected and treasured, so she had never met a rude and aggressive woman like Fu Ling. Despite the fact that she was shuddering in fright, she still steadfastly spread her arms and glowered back at her.

Yang Kai shot a cold glare at Fu Ling and said, “Who do you want to beat up?”

Sensing the chill in his voice, Fu Ling’s chest tightened as she smirked, “Please don’t get mad at me, brother-in-law, I was just pulling a prank on her. However, why have you brought a young woman with you when you’re visiting Big Sister Qing? If she finds out about it…”

She gave Yang Kai a wink to hint that he should understand the consequences.

“None of your business!” Yang Kai snorted. Looking around, he asked curiously, “Why are you here instead of staying on Dragon Island?”

This was just the entrance, and the real Dragon Island was still some distance away. The core of Dragon Island was called Dragon Palace by those from Half-Dragon City. Dragon Palace was where those from the Dragon Clan would reside and normally they would not leave.

Fu Ling’s face fell when she heard the question. Appearing to be aggrieved, she started sobbing and said in a choking voice, “Brother-in-law, I’ve ended up in such a state because of you.”

Yang Kai scoffed, “What does it have to do with me?”

Fu Ling’s eyes turned bloodshot as tears started streaming out of her eyes. With a watery gaze, she looked at Yang Kai and asked, “Have you forgotten about the Dragon Blood Flowers?”

“Dragon Blood Flowers?” Yang Kai was startled upon hearing that, then he covered his mouth with his fist and coughed, “Why mention those flowers all of a sudden?”

Fu Ling went on to say, “Previously, I brought you to steal a lot of Dragon Blood Flowers, and after you left, the Elders found out about it and wanted to throw me into the Dragon Grave! Fortunately, Third Elder and Big Sister Qing were kind-hearted enough to put in a good word for me so that I could be spared the ordeal. However, as a punishment, I have to keep watch on the entrance for a hundred years.”

As she spoke, her face was already drenched in tears. It seemed that she was truly sorrowful.

In fact, she wasn’t the one who stole Dragon Blood Flowers, she was only forced to assist Yang Kai, but in the end, she was ordered to keep watch on the entrance for a hundred years and couldn’t return to Dragon Palace as she pleased. She ended up in such a state because of Yang Kai.

More than a thousand Dragon Blood Flowers, which included Low-Rank, Mid-Rank, High-Rank, as well as two Peak-Rank Dragon Blood Flowers that the Great Elder and the Second Elder had been nurturing for years, had all been stolen by Yang Kai.

It could be said that the Dragon Clan’s several thousand years’ worth of accumulated treasure had all gone into Yang Kai’s pocket. If they wanted to restore everything to its original state, it would take them another thousand years at least. During this period of time, those in the Dragon Clan wouldn’t have a chance to consume Dragon Blood Flowers to purify their bloodlines, which lengthened the time they needed to strengthen themselves.

For the past dozen years or so, Fu Ling had been resentful of Yang Kai as she thought about killing him when she met him again. Nevertheless, that remained just a thought, as she understood that there was no way she was a match for Yang Kai. He was able to impose bloodline suppression on her, not to mention that she had surrendered her Soul Brand to him. So, Yang Kai was able to end her life with just a thought.

Now that she finally met the culprit, she had to make a complaint.

Of course, there was a more important reason that she wasn’t willing to reveal to others. Yang Kai seemed to have the ability to significantly improve a Dragon Clan member’s bloodline purity. Initially, Zhu Qing was just an Eighth-Order Dragon, but she was now a Ninth-Order and had been conferred the position of Elder.

As long as Fu Ling’s plan worked, she could easily break through her Sixth-Order bloodline to Seventh-Order or even Eighth-Order, which was far more effective than consuming Dragon Blood Flowers.

“One hundred years isn’t a long time for you,” Yang Kai coughed. Although he was disdainful of Fu Ling’s behaviour, he was indeed the culprit behind her suffering.

Nonetheless, he felt somewhat guilty about it but he wasn’t willing to delve into this topic lest Fu Ling harped on it. Waving his hand, he said, “Why do you keep talking about the past? Where is Zhu Qing now?”

Fu Ling was aggrieved, but she wouldn’t dare to ignore his question, “Big Sister Qing is on her own Spirit Island.”

“What about the Third Elder?”

“She’s on her own Spirit Island as well.” She darted her gaze around, “You don’t remember the routes, right? Do you need me to lead the way?”

Yang Kai sized her up, “Weren’t you ordered to stay here for a hundred years? Is it okay for you to leave this place without permission?”

“It’s fine.” Fu Ling pressed her lips together and smiled, “I’ve been here for more than ten years already, but not a single person has barged into this place besides you. It’s fine for me to leave this place for a while.”

“Don’t blame me if anything happens.”

Fu Ling pouted, “Do I look like such an unreasonable person? Brother-in-law, how can you think of me in this way?”

“Enough, lead the way.”

“Good.” Fu Ling nodded repeatedly and tapped Qiong Qi with her foot, “Old fart, what are you waiting for? Move forward and leave this place now. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten where Dragon Palace is?”

Qiong Qi rolled his eyes as his dignity had been ruined since he became a mount. Even a mere Dragon girl had the guts to boss him around on his back now.

[However, what is going on? Why would this Dragon girl call Yang Kai ‘brother-in-law’? Has my Young Master really hooked up with a female member of the Dragon Clan?]

Chapter 3330

Qiong Qi was elated at the thought of this.

The other races hated the fact that those from the Dragon Clan always acted so arrogantly. Although Qiong Qi was a Divine Spirit as well, he had never been fond of anyone from the Dragon Clan; hence, he couldn’t believe that a haughty woman from their clan would ever accept a mere Human as her partner.

Now, he was eager to find out what this woman looked like. Since such a scandal had happened, he wanted to know whether those from the Dragon Clan would still dare to be haughty in front of him.

With this thought in mind, he dashed forward at a speed that was as swift as wind. On his back, Fu Ling was talking incessantly as she tried to cozy up to Yang Kai. If it weren’t for Mo Xiao Qi constantly being on guard, she would’ve already pounced on Yang Kai.

Yang Kai couldn’t bear her heated approach and thought that something must be wrong with her. Supposedly, she should be resentful of him since he had made her suffer so much; however, why was she fawning over him instead?

If all the members of the Dragon Clan were like her, they would’ve lost all their pride and authority long ago.

Waves could be seen surging on the azure blue ocean.

They whisked past a deserted Spirit Island that was filled with countless precious treasures. The precious items on Dragon Island were ample; however, these treasures that the other cultivators coveted were nothing to those from the Dragon Clan. That was because every one of them was innately powerful, so these items were useless to them. The only resources that were of use to them were Dragon Blood Flowers, which were almost entirely swiped by Yang Kai previously.

After the trio flew forward at full speed for two days, they finally saw a half-moon shaped island in front of them. The island was about one hundred square kilometres, so it was neither small nor big; more than enough for a member of the Dragon Clan to reside.

“That’s Big Sister Qing’s Spirit Island,” Fu Ling pointed at Half Moon Island and spoke in a dejected tone. Although she had spent the past two days with Yang Kai, she couldn’t get closer to him. Instead, Yang Kai had put his guard up because she was too forward in her approach, which made her feel frustrated.

There was also the ugly young girl who had been keeping watch over her as if she was a thief. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s sake, she would’ve killed this interloper with one slap. The young girl was staring fixedly at her the entire time, and whenever she made a move, the former would immediately be alerted.

“This is where Qing’er lives?” Yang Kai appeared startled as he had actually been to this island before. Previously, in order to look for Zhu Qing, he had snuck into many Spirit Islands in Dragon Palace. At that time, this place was deserted, so he didn’t expect that it was actually Zhu Qing’s Spirit Island.

A smiling Fu Ling stated, “That’s right, this is Big Sister Qing’s domain. She and Third Elder have been confined to Dragon Palace to reflect upon themselves. If there’s no accident, they won’t be able to leave for the next hundred years. If brother-in-law misses her, he should come pay her a visit more often.”

Yang Kai snorted, “One hundred years? Was it Second Elder’s order?”

Fu Ling stuck out her tongue, “Who else could it be other than Second Elder? We’re most fearful of her.”

“Good. Since we’ve arrived at our destination, we don’t need you to guide us anymore. Go back to where you’re supposed to be.” Yang Kai waved his hand.

Fu Ling pouted, “Brother-in-law, you’re so heartless! How can you just toss me away the moment you’re done with me? No! It’s really difficult for me to come back to Dragon Palace, so I don’t want to return to the entrance so soon. I want to visit Big Sister Qing as well!”

Yang Kai shot her a look, “Do you need me to teach you a lesson again?”

Upon finishing his words, he readied a hand seal.

Fu Ling’s expression changed drastically as she leapt off Qiong Qi’s back and let out a hollow laugh, “Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Good, good, I won’t disturb your reunion with Big Sister Qing.”

While she was smiling on the outside, she was cursing Yang Kai in her heart for his ungentlemanly behaviour inside. He wasn’t even interested in a beautiful woman who had thrown herself at him. Was he a man or not?

Yang Kai waved his hand at her dismissively, after which Fu Ling said longingly, “Brother-in-law, please visit me when you’re free. It’s really too boring to stay there on my own.”

Ignoring her directly, Yang Kai urged Qiong Qi to get going, after which the latter turned into a beam of red light and flew over to Half Moon Island.

There was a quaint palace on one end of Half Moon Island, and as soon as Qiong Qi’s gigantic figure descended from the sky, an alluring woman dashed out of the palace. Looking up, she immediately met Yang Kai’s eyes.

As they gazed at each other, Yang Kai flashed a smile at her.

A surprised Zhu Qing said, “You’re back!?”

Previously, after Yang Kai left the Dragon Temple to chase after Wu Kuang, Zhu Qing had naturally been worried. Although Wu Kuang was no longer at the peak of his power, he was still the infamous Heaven Devouring Great Emperor. No one knew whether Yang Kai would survive an encounter with such a terrible Master.

Seeing that Yang Kai had returned safely, Zhu Qing could finally be at ease.

Right after she finished speaking, she pounced at Yang Kai, who spread his arms and pulled her into his embrace as he took a deep whiff of the fragrance on her hair.

Qiong Qi was instantly distressed. He was already displeased that he had to be bossed around as Yang Kai’s mount, but now, this boy and his woman were even flirting with each other in broad daylight right on top of him as if he didn’t even exist. Nevertheless, he couldn’t flare up as he stiffened his body so as not to disturb the couple.

At the same time, he was flabbergasted by what he was witnessing.

[It’s true! My Young Master really conquered a dragon girl! How shocking! I’ve lived for several tens of thousands of years, but it’s the first time I’ve come across such an incident.]

Although Zhu Qing hadn’t shown her true form yet, Qiong Qi could feel that her bloodline was extremely pure. If they were to have a one-on-one fight, he might not be able to defeat her.

[Is she a Ninth-Order? Or perhaps even a Tenth-Order Dragon? Given her pure bloodline, she must hold an important position on Dragon Island! At the very least, she must be an Elder. Why would someone like her fall in love with my Young Master? Does his Half-Dragon’s bloodline have anything to do with this?]

While he was lost in thought, Yang Kai and Zhu Qing were blissfully rubbing their faces against each other. Although they were not saying anything, they could feel their longing for each other through the contact of their skin.

All of a sudden, Zhu Qing could feel that someone was staring at her. Opening her eyes, she was met with a pair of big eyes.

Mo Xiao Qi was standing behind Yang Kai as she looked dazedly at the sight with widened eyes, as if she found their behaviour unacceptable. The sight before her eyes had had a huge impact on her, and for some reason, she felt so sorrowful that she was about to tear up.

Faced with such a stare, Zhu Qing started blushing furiously as she gently pushed Yang Kai away and looked smilingly at the young girl, “Who is this?”

Yang Kai didn’t feel bashful in the slightest of course and quickly whispered something in Zhu Qing’s ear.

Zhu Qing’s gaze brightened when she heard this and quickly stepped forward, gently holding Mo Xiao Qi’s hands as she spoke, “So you are Little Sister Xiao Qi.”

Zhu Qing and Fu Xuan were the Elders of the Dragon Clan; however, to be precise, Fu Xuan was her Senior, so there was no problem with the way she addressed Mo Xiao Qi. She had heard about this little girl quite often over the past few years, but it wasn’t until now that she met her.

Mo Xiao Qi was shocked by how warmly she was being treated. Her mind was already a mess, and at this moment, great anxiety had left her completely on edge. Parting her lips, she wanted to say something, but she suddenly couldn’t bring herself to utter a word in the end, instead turning pitifully to look at Yang Kai.

A smiling Yang Kai introduced her, “She’s Zhu Qing. If you don’t mind it, you can call her Big Sister Qing.”

“Big Sister Qing…” Mo Xiao Qi said gently, but her voice sounded somewhat sorrowful. After that, she crashed into Zhu Qing’s embrace and started sobbing, her tears soon soaking the front part of Zhu Qing’s robes.

A dumbfounded Zhu Qing froze up and turned to look at Yang Kai, who also appeared puzzled.

“Did you bully her?” Zhu Qing parted her lips and asked pointedly.

In response, Yang Kai spread his palms to indicate that it had nothing to do with him. He really didn’t know why Mo Xiao Qi would suddenly start sobbing.

In fact, not even Mo Xiao Qi knew why she had done this. She just felt like crying, couldn’t stop herself, and embraced Zhu Qing half instinctually.

A helpless Zhu Qing could only drape her arms around Mo Xiao Qi and pat her back as she consoled her in a gentle voice.

Yang Kai wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and felt fortunate that Martial Beast Great Emperor was not here to witness this scene; otherwise, the Great Emperor would probably skin him alive. After giving it a thought, he could somewhat understand Mo Xiao Qi’s feelings though. Now that they were on Dragon Island, and she would soon meet her mother, it was only natural that Mo Xiao Qi’s emotions were in an unstable state. Given the situation she was in, and after becoming agitated, she certainly would need to vent out her anxiety.

While Mo Xiao Qi was crying incessantly, Zhu Qing didn’t show any sign of impatience as she softly consoled her.

Moments later, Mo Xiao Qi finally stopped sobbing as she hung her head low and left Zhu Qing’s embrace. Her face was completely red as she was wiping her tears with the back of her hand.

[So embarrassing!] 

It was the first time they met, but she suddenly broke into tears in Zhu Qing’s embrace. Mo Xiao Qi wondered just what the latter would think of her, but looking up secretly, she realised that Zhu Qing only showed worry and concern for her, calming her heart and putting her at ease.

Then, Mo Xiao Qi turned to look at Yang Kai, only to see that he was looking smilingly at her, as if he had just witnessed a good show. Stomping her foot, she shouted, “Big Brother Yang is too evil!”

Upon finishing her words, she dashed into Zhu Qing’s palace and disappeared from everyone’s sight.

A dumbstruck Yang Kai pointed at himself and asked Zhu Qing, “What does this have to do with me?”

Zhu Qing shot him a glare and didn’t bother to reply, instead chasing after Mo Xiao Qi, leaving Yang Kai and Qiong Qi behind as the ocean breeze blew past.

A moment later, Yang Kai said, “Old Qiong, are women always so strange?”

Qiong Qi simply replied, “If they’re not strange, they wouldn’t be women.”

Yang Kai asked with some surprise, “Do you have any similar experiences? By the way, are there any women of your race?”

Qiong Qi rolled his eyes, “Do you think this Old Master was born out of a boulder or something?”

Yang Kai put on a grin, “I’m just curious.”

He paused for a bit, “You should just stay here during this period of time and not wander about. When I’m done with what I need to do, we’ll leave together.”

“Rest assured, Young Master, I understand.” They were now on Dragon Island, so Qiong Qi wouldn’t dare to wander as he pleased. Then, he hesitated for a moment and gave him a warning, “Young Master, you have to be careful. It’s… difficult to deal with any member of the Dragon Clan.”

[You’ve already got together with a woman of the Dragon Clan, so there’s no way the Great Elder Zhu Yan and Second Elder Fu Zhun will let you off.]
