Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 309 You are Bai Ze

The Seven Flames Elixir was remarkably effective; the golden beast instantly became lively and energetic, flying from Yun Yi's palm while making continuous "whimpering" sounds.

"Thank you for saving me~"

Yun Yi and the little guy got along quite well, so he patted it and said, "It's good that you're alright."

"I will definitely repay you!"

"Once you say that, you can't take it back!"

The little golden beast tilted its head and noticed that the man in front of it had suddenly changed his expression.

Yun Yi revealed a mischievous smile: "Do you know the auspicious beast Bai Ze?"

Although the golden beast reacted quickly, Yun Yi still caught its momentary pause.

It shook its head hurriedly, and Yunyi watched it pretend to be stupid.

Yun Yi: "Why don't you just spit out the Seven Flames Treasure Pill and give it back to me? That treasure is very precious, and it was given to me by a girl who is very important to me."

The golden beast froze on the spot. Although it didn't make a "whimpering" sound, it was clear that it felt as if it had been struck by lightning.

The entire demon was instantly in a bad mood.

Yun Yi laughed and said, "Just kidding. You'd better take me out first. That bad woman is on her way to you. You'd better find a secluded route."

The little golden beast breathed a sigh of relief, puffed out its chest, and whimpered, "I know Lung Mountain too well, she definitely can't catch me!"

After saying that, the little guy began to lead the way, deliberately suppressing its flight speed, afraid that Yun Yi would not be able to keep up with it.

This mountain, known as the Lung Mountain, may be fraught with danger for newcomers. It is teeming with poisonous miasma and monstrous beasts, and its narrow, cramped terrain makes it difficult to maneuver freely, inevitably restricting one's movements.

However, the golden beast once again demonstrated its wondrous nature.

For some reason, wherever it went, the monsters would inadvertently avoid it.

It was said to be unintentional because either the monster suddenly got sleepy, or it had a sudden lapse in judgment and went somewhere else.

In short, the journey was smooth sailing; they encountered no troublesome monsters and didn't even see a trace of poison.

Yun Yi silently labeled this beast as a "master" in his heart.

This little thing is incredibly lucky, could it be pretending to be weak while actually being strong?
The little golden beast was as innocent as a blank sheet of paper, completely unaware that the person behind it was plotting against it, and happily led the way.

Before long, the man and the beast arrived at the exit of Lung Mountain.

This place is right behind the entrance. I didn't hear any sound from Lan Zhenxin along the way, so she must be busy taming her favorite monster, which is why she was delayed.

The little golden beast circled Yun Yi twice, looking like it wanted praise.

Yun Yi then praised, "Bai Ze is truly amazing! I've long heard that you have incredible luck, and seeing it today confirms it!"

The golden beast was smug and couldn't shake off its self-satisfaction.

"If you ask me, Bai Ze is the cutest in the entire Demon City. He's both cute and lucky, no other demon beast can compare."

"Eek." The little guy nodded repeatedly in agreement.

It still didn't realize something was wrong until it noticed that the man in front of it had stopped talking and was just looking at it with a half-smile.

Yun Yi: "You are Bai Ze."

The little golden beast shook its head hurriedly, but the more it shook, the more guilty it felt. It gradually stopped and then gently nodded its head twice.

"How did you become like this?"

Bai Ze sobbed, "I don't know either, I was born this way."

"Why did you lie to me when I asked you about Bai Ze's whereabouts?"

"Gah?!"

"The little thing is dishonest; it's full of secrets it won't tell."

Knowing he was in the wrong, Bai Ze dared not argue back. Yun Yi then said, "With your appearance, you might as well not be called Bai Ze anymore, but Huang Ze instead."

At this point, Yun Yi suddenly revealed his familiar mischievous smile: "By the way, the seal on the Demon Capital has been broken. What are you planning to do now?"

"Of course we want to go out and have fun! We're so bored here!"

"However, there will be many cultivators outside who want to capture you, such as that wicked woman, and a big guy named Wen Daoxian. I think you have already dealt with them."

Bai Ze's face fell at the thought of Lan Zhenxin. To it, opponents at the Dao Integration Realm were too strong, and even with luck, it would be difficult to escape unscathed.

But then it looked at Yun Yi, and had a plan, "How about I come with you?"

Tsk, they took the bait so easily, how boring.

You should at least pull it a couple of times.

Yun Yi gently supported Bai Ze with his palm and agreed, "That works, but he can't cause me any trouble."

"No, no, I'll only bring you good luck!"

The man and the beast hit it off immediately and decided to travel together.

However, Yun Yi still had important matters to attend to before leaving the Demon Capital.

He asked, "Do you know about Tianzhu?"

Bai Ze tilted his head: "Tianzhu?"

"It's a golden pillar of light, which should be somewhere in the Demon Capital."

Unfortunately, Bai Ze still shook his head, indicating that he had never seen it before.

Seeing that its expression didn't seem fake, Yun Yi figured it wasn't lying this time, so he didn't think much of it.

Little did they know that Bai Ze turned around, stuck out his tongue, and revealed a guilty expression.

The little guy was caught lying before, so now he's learned to lie through his teeth without being taught, and sure enough, he didn't give himself away.

Unfortunately, it left Yun Yi with an impression of being "naive and childish." He never imagined that the little thing could turn bad in an instant, and he actually believed its lies.

Yun Yi thought that perhaps something went wrong with the Heavenly Pillar, or perhaps it was hidden in a deeper place. But no matter what the case was, it was difficult for the people of Futian Pavilion to find the Heavenly Pillar, so it wasn't a bad thing.

……

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuxiang returned to the devastated Longxin Palace.

He wasn't interested in the monster corpses on the ground, nor did he care what had happened there before.

All he wants now is to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Pillar.

The Pavilion Master had finally assigned him a task by himself; if he failed, he didn't know how long his colleagues would laugh at him when he got back.

Especially that old fortune teller, who insisted on casting a divination before I left, saying that Zhao Wuxiang's trip was very unlucky and that his wishes would not come true.

Pah! You think you're the best fortune teller just by talking? I could say you'll trip over your own feet and fall to your death!

Zhao Wuxiang grew angrier the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but stomp his foot hard.

The Dragon Heart Palace was incredibly sturdy and remained undamaged, but an echo emanated from this palace formed from a heart.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuxiang's eyes lit up as he discovered there was a secret room within the palace.

He pondered for a moment. Although he had never seen what a dragon's heart looked like, he figured it should be quite similar to a human's.

The Dragon Heart Palace is probably just a chamber; there are other hidden places besides this one!

Zhao Wuxiang acted on impulse, immediately extending his divine sense to search all directions, and sure enough, he found a hidden door in the main hall.

Behind the door was a long, narrow passageway resembling a blood vessel, its destination unknown.

At this moment, he disregarded any potential dangers and transformed into a white shadow, slipping inside.
