Chapter 678: Waiting by the Stump for the Rabbit

Seeing that Ye Yuan showed no reaction, Yue Mengli continued.

"The peerless Alchemy Emperor Qing Yunzi's wrath for his beloved became a celebrated tale throughout the Divine Realm. Yet for some reason, after Lingxue Divine King stayed at the Medicine King Hall for a month, she still left. Later, Lingxue Divine King spread word that she had paid Qing Yunzi with the 'Heavenly Illusion Ice Soul' as compensation, and the two were even from then on! Since then, Lingxue Divine King has been in seclusion until today."

Yue Mengli wanted to gauge Ye Yuan's reaction, keeping her eyes fixed on his, but still saw no change, as if he were listening to a story unrelated to him.

This disappointed Yue Mengli greatly.

If only Ye Yuan were Qing Yunzi—how wonderful that would be!

But if he were not Qing Yunzi, where else could he have obtained a top-tier technique like the 'Heavenly Illusion Ice Soul'?

Yue Mengli had never heard of anyone in the Divine Realm besides Lingxue Divine King and her disciples knowing this technique.

The only possibility was Qing Yunzi himself!

Ye Yuan suddenly laughed. "What an unromantic Qing Yunzi! Haha, not a bad story."

Yue Mengli was taken aback. That was it?

Just then, Lü'er's technique retracted as she completed her breakthrough!

She leaped straight into Ye Yuan's arms, beaming with excitement. "Young master, I can finally cultivate again!"

Seeing Lü'er so happy, Ye Yuan was delighted too. He fondly rubbed her head and chuckled. "Hehe, looks like you've been holding in a lot of energy. This time, you've broken straight through to the Liquid Realm!"

Lü'er said happily, "Yes, I don't want to become a useless person. Even if I can never catch up to young master, I hope to have the ability to protect myself, so at least I won't be a burden to you."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan tapped Lü'er on the head and laughed. "What burden nonsense? Say that again, and I'll really get angry!"

Lü'er playfully stuck out her tongue. "I won't say it anymore!"

But her eyes revealed a strong desire—the desire to grow stronger.

This heartwarming scene left Yue Mengli in a daze.

Could she really have been wrong? Was the 'Heavenly Illusion Ice Soul' just a coincidence?

In Yue Mengli's memory, Qing Yunzi was an exalted deity, always aloof and reserved.

But Ye Yuan at this moment was completely different from the person in her impression.

Well, no matter what, as long as she kept following Ye Yuan, there would always be a chance to find out.

With Ye Yuan's state of mind, how could Yue Mengli easily probe him?

It wasn't that Ye Yuan didn't trust Yue Mengli; he simply didn't want to drag her into trouble.

The Medicine King Hall was one of the top forces in the Divine Realm. Although Brightmoon City was formidable, it was far inferior to the Medicine King Hall, let alone a weak woman like Yue Mengli.

The more she knew, the more dangerous it would be for her.

Not to mention yesterday's events, Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli had been through life and death together; naturally, he didn't want to involve her.

With Lü'er's matter settled, Ye Yuan was eager to return home.

However, there were still some things he had to deal with in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain.

During this time, one thing happened: the Green Spirit Tree, claiming to have no name, gave itself one—Ye Qing.

Ye Yuan, with Ye Qing, directly stormed the Thousand Mountain Roc Clan's lair and issued a stern warning to the Roc Clan.

If the Roc Clan dared to harm a single hair on the Bear Clan or Fox Clan, he would one day massacre the entire Thousand Mountain Roc Clan.

With Ye Qing, a seventh-order expert present, the Roc Clan didn't even dare to squeak.

The same happened with the Tiger Clan.

Although the Tiger Clan's strength had declined greatly after this battle, they were still stronger than the Bear and Fox Clans, so a warning was necessary.

After everything was settled, Ye Yuan led the group toward the Devouring Mist once more!

...

"Haha, big brother, we're finally out!" Bai Guang said excitedly.

Ye Yuan looked at him oddly. "The Devouring Mist had no effect on you at all! When I first entered, I almost perished inside. If I hadn't broken through to the Heart Like a Rock state at the last moment, I'd probably be a pile of bones by now!"

"Hehe, big brother, you're blessed with deep fortune. How could a mere Devouring Mist defeat you?" Bai Guang laughed.

Ye Yuan shook his head and said nothing.

It sounded simple, but at the time, he had been hanging by a thread.

As for being blessed with deep fortune, Ye Yuan never really believed it. When it came down to it, he relied on himself.

With a thought, Ye Yuan summoned Yue Mengli, Yan'er, and Ye Qing to his side.

These two had been clamoring to come out for some fresh air in the Divine Forbidden Demon Domain, and now that they were out of the Devouring Mist, Ye Yuan released them.

Having taken the Green Spirit Heart Fusion Liquid, Yue Mengli's mental state had greatly improved.

Though she still couldn't use her pupil power, she could occasionally use her yuan power.

Ye Qing, full of curiosity about the outside world, insisted on coming out to see.

Ye Yuan had no choice but to agree.

As for Lü'er and Yuan Fei, they remained in the Heavenly Pagoda to cultivate.

Lü'er, in particular, had been training like crazy these days, breaking through at an astonishing speed, and was now close to the Crystal Realm.

However, Ye Yuan warned Ye Qing not to use power beyond the fifth order once outside, or it would cause the entire Boundless Space to collapse.

Seventh-order strength was enough to destroy a small world like Boundless!

Every small world has its own operating rules, and martial artists born there are bound by those rules.

But for experts surpassing the world's rules, some rules no longer apply.

If Zhao Tianyin came to Boundless, he would only bring destruction and could not ascend from here, because he bore the imprint of the Hurricane Realm from birth.

Yue Mengli was born in the Divine Realm, carrying the rule power of the Divine Realm.

But the rule power of the Divine Realm was clearly superior to that of Boundless, so Yue Mengli would not undergo tribulation here but could break through space to enter the Divine Realm.

Before this, Ye Yuan had repeatedly warned Ye Qing. This was Ye Yuan's homeland, and he didn't want his parents to perish along with the small world's collapse.

"Big brother, since we're out, let's hurry back. After half a year, the war between the two realms must have spiraled out of control!" Bai Guang urged.

Ye Yuan glanced at the black mark on his palm and smiled. "No rush. There's still a small fry coming to die. Let's send him off first."

Bai Guang was stunned, then slapped his forehead. "Ah, look at my memory, I almost forgot that bastard! Now that both of us have greatly improved, we're going to give him a proper welcome!"
