Seeing Nangong Yueze's uncomfortable look, Jiu Ge's heart tightened. Just when he was about to step forward, Yao Ji rushed to him first, "How are you?"
Nangong Yueze waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.
"I'm sorry, I was impulsive just now..." Yao Ji said with her eyebrows twisted.
Nangong Yueze glanced at her and sighed softly, "That's all, I know your stubborn temper all too well. You say you are impulsive, but you must still be blaming me in your heart..."
"I..." After Nangong Yueze hit the target, Yao Ji simply stopped talking.
"Okay, I'll go with you to your training ground first. If I continue talking, those people around me will question my identity again."
Yao Ji nodded, and without waiting for anyone to react, she took Nangong Yueze directly with her, waved her hand and disappeared in front of everyone...
"Oze..." Looking at the two people who disappeared, Jiu Ge frowned, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes...
…
North Sea ice field, floating jade fairyland.
Nangong Yueze followed Yao Ji through layers of cold fog and soon arrived at the fairy mirror.
Inside the fairy mirror, there is fairy mist everywhere and a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air, making you feel like you are in a paradise.
"Senior sister, I hope you don't take what happened just now too seriously. My hatred for the demon world is no less than yours. However, Zi Moxi is Jing Yu's biological mother and has never done anything harmful to nature. Therefore, I really I can't bear to let you hurt her." Nangong Yueze looked at Yao Ji and explained again.
Hearing this, Yao Ji was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I know what you mean, forget it, let the past be bygones."
After a pause, she looked sideways at Nangong Yueze, and then said: "Speaking of which, you haven't told me yet, why did you come to the mortal world? Or did you appear as a mortal? Also, who is that mortal girl? How can I make you risk your life to save me?"
"Haha." Nangong Yueze raised his lips and smiled, "Senior sister asked me so many questions at once, where should I start?"
"That's all, I'd better heal your wounds first, and then you can tell me slowly."
"Yeah." Nangong Yueze nodded.
Soon, the two of them found a flat stone slab and sat down beside the lake not far away.
Yao Ji closed her eyes and turned her palms, condensing countless golden rays of light, and then sent them around Nangong Yueze.
Those rays of light wrapped around Nangong Yueze's wounds like threads, quickly repairing his damaged heart.
Within a moment, the blood hole on Nangong Yueze's chest gradually healed, the light dissipated, and a trace of blood returned to his face.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for your rescue today. I feel much better already."
"How can I thank you? Master has allowed me to practice various healing techniques since I was a child, so that I can heal you at a critical moment." Yao Ji slowly opened her eyes and said, "Fortunately, this is just an injury to your mortal body. , if it were your divine body and you were so seriously injured, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to save you even if I exhaust all my cultivation.”
"Senior sister..." Nangong Yueze opened his mouth, but hesitated. He knew that his injury made Yao Ji emotional, thinking of Situ Yunyao who died in the battle between the demons.
"If my cultivation can break through to the realm of the God Emperor like yours, maybe I can save your senior brother." Yao Ji murmured, her tone full of guilt.
"Senior sister, don't blame yourself too much." Nangong Yueze stood up and came to Yao Ji, patting her shoulder lightly, "Senior brother, if you are still alive, I definitely don't want to see you like this."
Yao Ji wiped her reddish eyes and forced a smile, "Okay, don't talk about me anymore, let's talk about you."
"Okay." Nangong Yueze nodded and began to tell Yao Ji in detail what happened in the mortal world over the years.
…
The other side.
After resting in Wangsipo for most of the day, the group began to move in the direction of the iceberg mentioned by Yao Ji.
The iceberg is about eighty miles away from Wangsipo. It can be reached in two days at most by hiking.
Along the way, Jiu Ge seemed worried. She didn't know where Yao Ji had taken Nangong Yueze, let alone how he was recovering from his injuries.
"Little Junior Sister, you don't have to worry about Your Majesty. He will be fine after being taken away by the Lord of Heaven." Seeing her strange expression, Helian Yuanjie comforted her loudly.
"Yeah." Jiuge forced a smile, "I hope so."
This incident further deepened Jiuge's feelings for Nangong Yueze.
She believes that a person who is willing to risk his life for her is worthy of her life.
…
The floating jade wonderland.
After the injury was almost recovered, Nangong Yueze followed Yao Ji to the forbidden area of the fairyland - the Fuyu Fairy Pond.
The fairy pond is built with various spiritual grasses. It is full of spiritual energy and the water is crystal clear.
In the center of the fairy pond, a white snow lotus blooms.
The snow lotus has dense branches and leaves, thick roots and white leaves, and each leaf is blooming with gleaming light.
And a wisp of divine soul of Lord Yunyao is being placed here.
Seeing the snow lotus, Nangong Yueze did not hesitate and stepped directly into the fairy pond.
When he came to the snow lotus, Nangong Yueze stretched out his fingers and gently touched the petals of the snow lotus. After a long time, he spoke and murmured: "Senior brother Yunyao, I'm here to see you again."
"Little junior brother, thanks to your hard work, you were able to retain a ray of your senior brother's soul." Yao Ji's voice reached Nangong Yueze's ears, "If not for this, my fate with him in this life would have been severed. .”
She will never forget that day when she and Situ Yunyao went out to fight against the demon army. She survived, but Yunyao died.
At that time, she was so desperate that she even thought about going with Situ Yunyao...
Nangong Yueze remained silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly and said: "Senior brother, all the body and soul were gone, leaving only a wisp of soul. You didn't listen to the advice of master and me, and insisted on killing senior brother." The spiritual energy in the mortal world is far less abundant than in the heavenly world, so it would take millions to restore the spiritual soul of senior brother here."
"Master told me the same thing, but even if Yun Yao's soul is in the heaven, it still takes hundreds of thousands of years. Hundreds of thousands of years are too difficult for me. What's more, this is just Just to restore his soul." Yao Ji looked at the snow lotus with deep and misty eyes, "But it is different in the mortal world. It takes one million years in the mortal world, but only three thousand years have passed in the heaven. Three thousand years, I can still wait. .”
"I understand your difficulties. Since the death of senior brother, you have never stopped trying to restore his soul." Nangong Yueze sighed softly, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "But I still hope that you can be well, for Senior brother, it’s also for yourself.”
Hearing this, Yao Ji pondered for a moment and finally nodded.
After a long while, Yao Ji looked at Nangong Yueze, who was standing silently next to the snow lotus, lightly pursed her thin lips, and said: "Junior brother, it's time for us to leave. The temperature here is too low, and you have a mortal body. It’s not suitable to stay for a long time, so you’d better go to my training place.”
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze did not turn around immediately, but suddenly said with a serious face: "Wait a moment, senior sister."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Yao Ji stopped and looked at Nangong Yueze in confusion.
"I don't know why, I've been staying next to this snow lotus for so long, but I still haven't felt the presence of my senior brother's soul." Nangong Yueze said with a frown.
Hearing this, Yao Ji's face changed slightly, and she quickly rushed towards Xuelian from the edge of the pool...
"Senior sister, please don't worry. It's also possible that my current cultivation level is not enough, and my various sensing abilities are not as good as my real body..." Nangong Yueze said again.
Yao Ji nodded, came to the snow lotus, covered the snow lotus with her hands, closed her eyes and sensed it carefully.
As time passed, Yao Ji's expression became more solemn.
"Senior sister, how are you?" Nangong Yueze frowned and asked quickly.
Yao Ji opened her eyes, looked at Nangong Yueze, shook her head, and said, "Your feeling is correct, Yun Yao's soul is indeed not inside."
"What?!" Nangong Yueze was stunned for a moment. After a pause, he asked again: "Has anyone else been here?"
"No." Yao Ji shook her head again, "Except for you and Master, no one else has set foot here..."
Hearing this, Nangong Yueze lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. He frowned and murmured to himself: "Is it possible that the soul of senior brother has independent consciousness?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?!" Hearing Nangong Yueze's murmur, Yao Ji was stunned and said in confusion.
"I guess senior brother's soul has left Fuyu Fairyland." Nangong Yueze calmed down his emotions and said calmly, "Senior sister, how long has it been since you came here?"
Yao Ji thought for a while and replied: "The last time I came here was two months ago. Two months in the heavenly world and sixty years in the mortal world."
"Sixty years..." Nangong Yueze murmured to himself, and then looked at the Ten Thousand Years Snow Lotus again, "Senior brother was probably bored, so he left."
"Leave by yourself?" Hearing this, Yao Ji was startled, and then asked in surprise: "You mean, Yun Yao's soul has its own consciousness?"
"This is just my guess. Senior sister, please use the soul search technique to check first to see if senior brother's soul is still in the mortal world. If it can't be found in the mortal world, I will find a way to look for it in the heaven and underworld. ." Nangong Yueze said slowly.
"Yes." Yao Ji nodded and followed Nangong Yueze's words to perform the soul search technique.
The next second, she made a complicated mark with her right hand, and then waved her hand toward the void.
In an instant, a golden barrier enveloped the entire Fuyu Wonderland.
After doing this, Yao Ji closed her eyes and began to carefully search for Yun Yao's soul...
…
The Mountain of Ten Thousand Demons.
With a "bang" sound, a wine cup was heavily smashed to the ground.
"Seeing that Fufeng's mortal body almost died, I didn't expect that a Yao Ji would appear halfway!!" You Ming Yue's voice came from the main hall of Guigu Immortal Palace.
Seeing the furious Ming Youyue, the maids standing around were all silent, not even daring to take a breath.
Ming Youyue has a bad temper. If anyone offends her at this time, they are simply asking for death.
"Come here, tell Qingyang, the leader of the Soul-Eating Tribe, to speed up the collection of mortal souls!! I can't wait any longer!!" Ming Youyue shouted outside the palace.
"Yes! I obey!" As soon as the words fell, the respectful voices of two demon soldiers came from outside the palace door.
