Hell Emperor.

Chapter 483 Li Fei'e - Farewell
Seeing that Ye Jie had completed his request, built the Yama Furnace, and added the guardian beast to the administrative agenda, the Lord of the Nether Spirit Hall also showed a satisfied look:
"In this way, the chaos in the Netherworld Palace can be gradually calmed down. With the wonders and the mythical beasts, the morale of the ghosts in the palace has been greatly boosted, and they can get temporary peace. As for what will happen in the future, it remains to be further tested."

At the end, there were some complicated emotions in her eyes when she looked at Ye Jie. It was obviously because of Ye Jie that the Nether Spirit Palace lost its main account, which led to the overthrow of order in the palace and the displaced ghosts. But now she had a request from him and needed to use the power of the main account in his hands.

Ye Jie looked up and couldn't help but feel a little curious:
"Although the administrative option of the divine beast guarding the temple has been unlocked, a real divine beast is still needed to maximize the effectiveness of this administrative option. I have heard about the relationship between the Nether Palace and the Xuannv Sect for a long time. I wonder what kind of divine beast the Lord of the Nether Palace will choose to guard the temple?"

Ming Ji closed her eyes slightly and did not answer his question: "The selection of the divine beast is related to the secrets of the palace, which cannot be disclosed to outsiders."

Ye Jie also knew what to do and didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he clasped his fists and said:

"Since the Lord of the Underworld Palace has achieved his wish, can you tell me the whereabouts of the Underworld Soil according to the previous agreement? I will go and look for it."

Seeing Ye Jie asking this, Ming Ji did not hide anything and answered truthfully:
"Not long ago, Elder Mo Wen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave came here and bought the only remaining Netherworld Soil in the hall. If you really want to find this thing, go to Scarlet Scale City to look for information. Elder Mo Wen went there last."

After learning the information, Ye Jie thanked him and left.

Back on the Tianji, everyone gathered around with curiosity and listened to Ye Jie's account of the trip.

"...The Lord of the Nether Spirit Hall told me that the Netherworld Soil was bought by the elders of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave. If you want to obtain the Netherworld Soil, you have to go to Red Scale City to find out."

"The elder of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingge and Ren Changhong seemed to remember something and couldn't help but look at each other.

Seeing this, Ye Jie asked: "Do you know anything about that place? Can you tell me the news?"

Ren Changhong nodded slightly: "In this continent, if Xuannv Sect is the leader of the immortal sects, then Wanshe Cave is the second-rate super-first-class immortal sect. Except that the strength of their top immortals is not as good as Xuannv Sect, the rest of them, whether in terms of the number of disciples or the sphere of influence, are not something that ordinary immortal sects can reach. For example, the Tianji Sect before was just a third-rate sect. Compared with Wanshe Cave, it is not at the same level at all."

Shen Qingge's eyes were calm, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "The people in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave are always insidious and cunning. If the opponent is an elder of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, you must be careful."

Feeling her kindness, Ye Jie also kept the information in mind.

Speaking of which, the Nine Transformations of the Spirit Snake that he had learned before was exactly the technique found in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes. With Ye Jie's current strength, he could only use the power of the fifth transformation, which was enough to show the potential hidden in this technique.

Although he was unwilling to provoke such a strong man, but thinking of the whereabouts of the underworld soil, Ye Jie had no choice but to go to Chilin City to find out.

The Tianji set sail again. Ye Jie looked around and was suddenly surprised: "By the way? Where is Mo'er? Why can't I see her?"

Ye Jie looked left and right, and even if he let go of his senses, he still couldn't find Li Fei'e's whereabouts. He thought he had left her in the Nether Palace, and he felt anxious.

Beside him, Shen Qingge sighed softly, "E'er stayed. She plans to follow the Styx in the palace and return to the Lonely Luan Peak of the Xuannv Sect alone to confine herself and reflect on her mistakes. If there is no special situation in the future, I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a long time."

"What..." Ye Jie's eyes trembled. He didn't expect the situation to be like this. "I haven't said goodbye to her yet. Why did she leave alone?"

Shen Qingge's face was calm, but her tightly clenched hands and pale knuckles showed that she was not at peace in her heart:

"I think maybe the moth didn't like the sadness of separation. When she left, she still had a smile on her face, trying her best to act as if she didn't care. But I know she must be feeling bad inside, she just didn't want to show it, and would rather bear the sadness alone."

Ye Jie lowered his head, silent. When he looked up again, his eyes were more determined, like two sharp swords: "I want to see her again."

Shen Qingge shook her head: "She won't see you. After all, she is now at the peak of the first level of the Celestial Realm. If she insists on hiding her aura, where are you going to find her in this huge Nether Spirit Palace? In order not to worry you, she even stayed..."

"I have my own way. We'll talk about the rest later."

Ye Jie had a determined look on his face. He turned around and went to a quiet room on the middle floor of the Tianji, where he saw a woman in a red veil kneeling there.

The quiet room is dim, the candlelight flickers, and a woman wearing a red veil sits there quietly, with her hands intertwined in front of her. Everything in the outside world seems to have nothing to do with her. The red cloth symbolizing a wedding covers her face. No matter how many years have passed, she is always waiting for the person who will never come.

"I want to see Li Fei'e, please help me."

The deathly silence and stillness were broken by Ye Jie's words.

In response to his request, the woman with red veil did not respond. She slowly reached out her hand and lifted up the red cloth on her head.

Not sure if it was Ye Jie’s illusion, he seemed to hear a faint sigh, but soon, the scene in front of him attracted Ye Jie’s attention.

As the veil was lifted, Li Fei'e's face was revealed. Her once pretty and energetic face was now tearful, with her facial features wrinkled and tears falling like pearls from a broken string.

She hugged her knees, curled up her frail body like a helpless lost animal, and her trembling shoulders told of the distress in her heart.

"Are you ok?"

Li Fei'e's heart trembled when she heard a concerned voice in her ear. She raised her eyes tremblingly and saw Ye Jie's familiar face.

"You... who told you to look for me with a red veil?"

Realizing what had happened, Li Fei'e's lips trembled, her teeth bit her lower lip, and there was a hint of anger in her red eyes.

"You left without saying goodbye, and I was worried about you." Ye Jie replied.

"Who made you worry..."

Li Fei'e grumbled something, and although she still sobbed from time to time, her complexion had obviously improved. Ye Jie's words were like a spring breeze, warming her wounded heart and making her no longer feel alone.

"I will be confined in Lonely Luan Peak for thirty years. After that, I may never see you or anyone else again."

When he thought that he would have to spend his lonely years on Guluan Peak from now on, Li Fei'e felt sad from the bottom of his heart, and his voice choked up again.

Just when her eyes were dazed and she was filled with distress, Ye Jie suddenly held her hand.

"Don't worry, I promise you, I will come to find you and will never let you stay alone for so long." With Ye Jie's promise, staring into his firm eyes and feeling his determination, Li Fei'e finally burst into laughter and her heart relaxed. She knew that no matter where she went, Ye Jie would not forget her, and he would reunite with her even if they were separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

"No matter how long it takes, I...I will wait for you."

Li Fei'e smiled. Although there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her gaze was as broad as spring water, with a gentle affection in it. In her pupils, Ye Jie's reflection was clearly visible.

"By the way...did you receive the gift I left for you?" Li Fei'e asked suddenly.

"Gift? What gift?" Ye Jie was surprised. He didn't expect that Li Fei'e would leave a gift for him before leaving.

Li Fei'e puffed her lips: "Master, you are such a fool. I clearly told her to give the gift to you as soon as she saw you..."

Thinking of how Shen Qingge seemed to have something to say but was interrupted by him, Ye Jie also realized what was going on and smiled, "Don't blame Qingge. I'll check with her later."

The two looked at each other, their eyes seemed to remember each other's appearance in their hearts, and there was an unbreakable bond between them. Even if they were separated, they would meet again one day.

"Then... I'm leaving first. You have to take good care of yourself."

Li Fei'e spoke softly, making up for the regret of not being able to say goodbye in person, then picked up the red cloth beside her and carefully covered her face with it, and her breath gradually calmed down.

The spiritual consciousness faded away, and the red veil appeared in front of Ye Jie again. She sat back in the same place, as if nothing had happened.

"You helped me a lot, thank you, if you need anything, please let me know."

When Li Fei'e's breath disappeared, Ye Jie looked at the woman in red veil sitting there quietly and thanked her respectfully.

In fact, if the red veil did not have such power, he would not have been able to say goodbye to Li Fei'e, and she would have to bear the pain of separation alone, which was undoubtedly a situation that Ye Jie did not want to see.

Facing Ye Jie's thanks, the woman with the red veil remained motionless and silent, like a wooden sculpture or clay statue, and just waved her hands.

After leaving the quiet room, Ye Jie was very concerned about the gift Li Fei'e mentioned. He immediately found Shen Qingge who was standing beside him and said curiously, "E'er said that she left a gift for me and asked you to pass it on to me."

Shen Qingge nodded and said helplessly: "I was going to give it to you, but you left in a hurry and didn't hear what I said."

As she spoke, Shen Qingge stretched out her hand and a delicate and agile butterfly emitting a bright purple light flew over and landed in her palm: "Do you need me to introduce you again?"

Looking at the butterfly that seemed to be woven from a dream, Ye Jie's eyes trembled, and he said in disbelief: "E'er left Youdie to me? This is her companion butterfly. What if she feels lonely without Youdie?"

Shen Qingge held Youdie in both hands and handed it over:

"This is what Mo'er meant. I believe she must have thought it over carefully before making the decision. To her, the companion butterfly is like an extension of her soul. When you see the butterfly, you will think of her appearance. She left the butterfly to you in the hope that you would not forget her."

"She's my family, how could I forget her?"

Ye Jie let out a long sigh, took over the ghost butterfly, and started to use the Nether Spirit Divine Art. The tiny butterfly transformed into a palm-sized pocket-sized girl. She was wearing a purple dress, the hem of which danced lightly. Looking closely, her face was clearly 90% similar to Li Fei'e.

After transforming Youdie into Xingyue Linglong'e, Ye Jie also recalled every moment he spent with Li Fei'e. Her words and her smile had unknowingly become a part of his life. Now that she was gone, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Ye Jie put Xingyue Linglong'e on his shoulder. With her, he could think of Li Fei'e at any time.

"Hey, Ye Jie, I remember you used this dark spirit magic weapon to defeat me, right?"

An untimely voice came over, and looking in the direction of the voice, Su Miao's face appeared in front of Ye Jie. She curled her lips and looked at Xingyue Linglong'e with scrutiny in her eyes.

Ye Jie stroked his forehead and said, "Fairy Miaorou, I remember that you were going to return to the Netherworld Palace to resume your duties. We have just arrived at the Netherworld Palace, why are you still here?"

Su Miao snorted lightly: "Do you think I want to stay? It was the Grandmaster Mingji who gave me the task to escort the offending descendant of Xuannv to the North Sea for punishment."

As she spoke, Su Miao's eyes also fell on Shen Qingge who was standing beside her: "For the sake of our previous friendship, I won't tie you up. I believe you know the consequences of refusing to accept punishment, so don't run around casually."

Shen Qingge's eyes dimmed, and he said slowly: "Master Miaorou is right. If you make a mistake, you should be punished. Qingge naturally understands this principle. E'er only needs to face the wall for 30 years to regain his freedom. I don't know when I can achieve the heavenly merit and escape when I go to the North Sea..."

At the end, there was a hint of loss in her eyes. It seemed that this land of the North Sea would be her last journey.

Ye Jie was silent. He had already known about the punishment, but when the day of separation came, he still couldn't bear it. He asked, "Qingge must make a heavenly merit to end the punishment, but what exactly is a heavenly merit? Isn't there a standard?"

Su Miao pondered for a moment before speaking, "Whether it is a heavenly merit or not is determined by the Grandmaster. If the Grandmaster is not satisfied, it will be useless even if she helps more people. In short, as long as the Grandmaster is satisfied, that's all. Grandmaster Ming Ji said that the Nether Spirit Palace is still lacking a palace guardian beast. The North Sea is rich in exotic beasts of many kinds. If she can capture a powerful palace guardian beast, maybe she can end the punishment and regain her freedom."

The corner of Ye Jie's mouth twitched. It turned out that the Lord of the Nether Spirit Palace had not prepared any divine beasts to protect the palace.

"Since you are going to Beiming, why are you still staying on the Tianji?" Ye Jie asked curiously.

Su Miao crossed her arms and hummed twice with pride: "Do you think I'm stupid? I'm going to cross half a continent by myself to send her to the other side of the North Sea? Even if I can fly a sword, it's not as comfortable as riding a spirit boat. Of course you will send her there."

Ye Jie's eyes twitched, and he really didn't know what to say. It seemed that Su Miao was quite lazy. However, her actions also gave Ye Jie and Shen Qingge more time to say goodbye, which was a blessing.

"You have a reason to stay, but why did Fairy Yaoyin stay as well?"

Ye Jie scratched his head and said in confusion, so Li Fei'e was the only one who left this trip to the Netherworld Palace.

In response, Yao Yin simply replied: "Palace Master Ye, have you forgotten what you asked me to do before? I will stay here until Nan Linghe learns to refine pills skillfully."

"I see……"

After understanding the reason why Yao Yin stayed, Ye Jie nodded and steered the spirit boat towards the direction of Chilin City.
