After coming out of the black city, Nangong Yueze and Jiuge returned to the entrance of the Ice City.
"Congratulations to both of you for successfully passing the first round of trials." Bing Mengdie's figure appeared in front of the two of them for the first time. "This is your reward for passing the first round of trials."
After speaking, she took out two pills and handed them directly to the two people in front of her, "These are two top-quality marrow-cleansing pills. After taking them, the spiritual power in your body will be purified, and your cultivation will be further improved. "
Nangong Yueze took the marrow-cleansing pill, and then handed it directly to Jiuge beside him, "Ge'er, I'll give you this marrow-cleansing pill too."
"Huh?" Jiuge blinked in confusion. She raised her head and looked at Nangong Yueze in confusion, "What, don't you want it?"
"My cultivation has reached the highest level of mortal cultivation. These things are completely useless to me, so don't waste them on me."
"But..." Jiuge hesitated, seemingly hesitant.
"Stop it, take it quickly." After saying that, Nangong Yueze directly stuffed the Marrow Cleansing Pill into Jiuge's mouth.
Jiuge couldn't resist him and could only silently swallow the pill.
After a moment, she felt a mysterious spiritual power flowing through her body, and then gradually integrated into her limbs and bones.
This state lasted for a long time, and Jiuge gradually returned to calm.
"Oze, the spiritual power in this marrow cleansing pill is simply too pure." Jiuge couldn't help but say.
"That's natural." Nangong Yueze smiled slightly, "This is something from the Lord Yao Ji. How can it be compared with ordinary pills?"
"Yeah." Jiuge nodded and paused for a moment. She suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Bing Mengdie, and asked: "By the way, Fairy Mengdie, my master, senior brother, and the seniors of Yinyue Pavilion. Well, where are they now?"
Bing Mengdie smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about them anymore. Look at the time, they will be out soon. Before starting the second round of trials, you can rest here for a day. I have already prepared for you at the inns on both sides of the entrance to Ice City. You have prepared a place to rest and delicious food.”
After finishing her words, she waved her hand, and the air beside her immediately surged. Then, some maids came out of the void carrying food.
Soon, they filled the tables of the inns on both sides of the road with these exquisite foods.
After all the food was placed, other trialists also came back one after another.
The expressions on each of their faces were different, but fortunately, all of them passed the first round of trials smoothly.
"Everyone has worked hard, let's eat something and rest first." Looking at everyone's tired faces, Bing Mengdie reminded them gently.
When they heard that there was food, everyone suddenly became excited, rushed into the inns on both sides, sat down around the table, and began to enjoy this sumptuous meal...
Jiu Ge was also starving. Her previous fight with the skeleton soldiers had consumed a lot of her energy. Seeing the food now, her stomach started to ring in time.
Seeing this, Nangong Yueze raised her lips and smiled lovingly, "Silly girl, eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
"Yeah!" Jiuge nodded and ate hungrily...
After feasting for a while, Bing Mengdie began to tell everyone about the rules of the second round of trials.
"The second round of trials will be a little difficult. You will enter different illusions respectively. Everything in the illusion may be true or false. In the illusion, your existing memories will be sealed. You may even not recognize each other. , so the only thing you can do is to live in the illusion as much as possible."
After listening to Bing Mengdie's introduction, everyone fell into deep thought.
After a long while, Helian Yuanjie couldn't help but ask, "Fairy, is the second round of trials also at twelve hours?"
"No!" Bing Mengdie shook her head slightly, "The second round of trials lasts for three days, which is thirty-six hours. As long as you can come out of the illusion alive, you will pass the trial."
"Huh??" Zhao Feiyang was shocked when he heard this.
Coming out of the illusion alive?
Although this condition seems simple, it is actually not easy to achieve.
Because no one knows what will happen in the fantasy world.
"Fairy, I just want to ask, if we are killed in the illusion, will we really die because of it?" Zhao Feiyang asked again.
"That's the problem..." Bing Mengdie said with a smile, "Of course not, because death will only be temporary. After you come out of the illusion, you will naturally be out of danger."
"So that's it." When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, there is no problem with life.
Next, Bing Mengdie told everyone the details of the second round of trials...
After one stick of incense.
After Bing Mengdie said the last word, she stepped aside.
"I have said everything that needs to be said. I wish you good luck." Bing Mengdie said to everyone with a slight smile.
"Thank you fairy for your advice!"
Everyone bowed their hands to Bing Mengdie and began to look for a place to practice or rest.
Nangong Yueze originally wanted to talk to Jiuge about the upcoming trial, but before he could reach her, Bing Mengdie walked straight towards him.
"Your Highness, please stay..."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Nangong Yueze turned to look at him.
"Your Highness, His Highness Pluto just made an appointment with Divine Monarch Yao Ji to taste tea at the Fairy Pond in the North Territory. Divine Monarch Yao Ji didn't want to go to the meeting alone, but she couldn't refuse His Highness Pluto, so she asked the little fairy to come over and invite you to come with her. ." Bing Mengdie said cautiously.
"This Ye Canglan really doesn't give up on my senior sister..." Nangong Yueze frowned and said, "Okay, I know about this, please go aside and wait for me."
"Yes." Bing Mengdie nodded, stood aside and stopped talking.
Nangong Yueze quickly came to Jiuge. He first stroked her hair, and then said softly: "Ge'er, I have something to do and have to leave for a while. You have a good rest. I will be back soon. .”
"Oze..." Jiuge pursed his lips, "I just heard the conversation between you and Fairy Mengdie. Was it the Lord Yao Ji who was looking for you?"
"Well, Pluto Ye Canglan made an appointment with Yao Ji Shenjun alone in the Northern Immortal Pond, but she didn't want to go to the appointment alone, so she wanted me to accompany her. With me here, Ye Canglan didn't dare to do anything in front of her. An outrageous move." Nangong Yueze explained patiently.
Jiuge lowered her eyes, covering up the loneliness in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she finally nodded, "I understand... you go quickly..."
Although she didn't know what the relationship between Nangong Yueze and Yao Ji was, she always felt that their relationship seemed very subtle, as if there was some unknown secret sandwiched between them.
Could it be that she is the second Luo Yushang and his fiancée?
This idea just emerged in his mind and was quickly denied by Jiu Ge.
No, this is impossible...
Nangong Yueze loved her, so how could he have a relationship with another woman without telling her?
She's just... just jealous.
Yes, that’s definitely the case!
Nangong Yueze didn't notice Jiuge's abnormality, he just leaned over and kissed her forehead, then turned around and left with Bing Mengdie.
"Ozawa..." Seeing Nangong Yueze's back disappearing into the distance, Jiuge murmured in a low voice. He immediately gathered all the emotions in his heart, found a vacant place on the first floor of the inn, and began to close his eyes. Start practicing.
…
North Sea Icefield, Northern Fairy Pond.
This is the coldest place in the entire North Sea Icefield. Even if the sun is shining, it still has a bone-chilling chill.
At this time, Nangong Yueze, who was wearing a white robe, was sitting in a pavilion drinking tea by the Fairy Pond of the North Territory. Behind him was Bing Mengdie, who was holding an exquisite teapot.
Not long after, two rays of light and shadow cut through the sky and landed steadily under the stone steps of the pavilion.
One of the two people who suddenly appeared was Ye Canglan and the other was Yao Ji.
Just when Ye Canglan was about to set foot on the stone steps to the pavilion with Yao Ji, he suddenly noticed that there was a white figure at the end of the stone steps.
Taking a closer look, the figure turned out to be Nangong Yueze.
"Your Highness Fufeng, why are you here?" Ye Canglan asked in surprise.
"I heard that the scenery here is pretty good, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look. What a coincidence, His Highness Pluto is also here?" Nangong Yueze said with a slight smile on his lips.
"I..." After hearing this, the expression on Ye Canglan's face became a little embarrassed.
He deliberately chose this hidden place to meet Yao Ji, but he never expected to bump into Nangong Yueze.
"Junior brother, His Highness Pluto just said that he wanted to invite me to have tea together, and you happen to be here too, so come with us." Yao Ji looked at Nangong Yueze with a smile and said deliberately.
"But why do I feel that His Highness Pluto doesn't seem to welcome me?" Nangong Yueze raised his eyes to look at Ye Canglan and asked with raised eyebrows.
"Haha, what are you talking about?" Ye Canglan laughed dryly. "Since His Highness Fufeng is here, let's stay. Otherwise, I will neglect you and I will not be able to go to heaven again next time."
Seeing this, Yao Ji looked at Nangong Yueze again and said with a smile, "Yes, little junior brother, just stay. It just so happens that senior sister still has a lot to say to you."
"Well..." Nangong Yueze pretended to hesitate for a moment, and finally nodded, "Since His Highness Pluto has given you such a warm invitation, I would rather obey your orders with due respect."
"Hahaha..." Ye Canglan laughed loudly, then looked sideways at Yao Ji, and when he was about to speak, Yao Ji walked straight towards Nangong Yueze.
Seeing that the other party completely ignored her, Ye Canglan's face suddenly stiffened, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself: "I'm so redundant today..."
He had prepared a lot of things to say to Yao Ji, but now that Nangong Yueze was present, he couldn't say anything in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Canglan finally calmed down and walked towards the two people in the pavilion...
That day, the three of them drank tea and admired the scenery in the pavilion for two full hours. During the whole process, Nangong Yueze and Yao Ji talked happily, but Ye Canglan couldn't say a few words at all, so he could only Sitting in silence drinking tea.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that Nangong Yueze turned to look at Ye Canglan, raised his lips and asked, "Your Highness, the scenery in this mortal world is much more beautiful than that in the underworld, isn't it?"
"Well, the underworld is dark and gloomy all year round, how can it be compared to this place?" Ye Canglan shook his head, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Haha, I think so too. The beauty of the mortal world is unmatched by many places in the heaven." Nangong Yueze smiled faintly and immediately changed the subject, "By the way, I wonder how long His Highness Pluto plans to stay in the mortal world this time." How long?"
Ye Canglan secretly glanced at Yao Ji and replied: "I will stay in the mortal world as long as the Lord Yao Ji stays in the mortal world."
"Oh?" Nangong Yueze raised his lips with interest, "Your Highness Pluto, aren't you afraid that I will come here often to disturb you in the future?"
