The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Upon hearing his sect leader's words, the Youluo Sect elder was completely bewildered.

They don't look like humans... people?

Who is that person...? Could it be someone with three heads and six arms?
"Sect Master, they are not human... Who are they?" After thinking for a moment, fearing he might have misunderstood the Sect Master's meaning, the elder quickly asked.

"They look to them and they're not much different from humans."

"However, the aura they exude is somewhat like... the kind of aura that comes from people who spend a lot of time in dark places. It's quite unique, and you should be able to sense it once you encounter them."

After a moment's thought, the black-robed Youluo offered an explanation.

She was referring to the people of the Nine Netherworld, and indeed they were human.

However, upon closer inspection, some differences can still be detected.

Youluo also wanted to take advantage of the convenience of the Youluo Sect to discover as soon as possible those Nine Netherworld people who had arrived in the northern border of Xuanzhou and were hiding in various places.

Now that they are a complete family, she doesn't want to put all the burden on Lu Ye.

Although somewhat confused, the elder nodded: "Sect Master, I understand. I'll take care of it right away."

Seeing that her subordinates had grasped her meaning, Youluo nodded in satisfaction from within her black robe.

"My lord, my husband, should have seen my lord by now, right?"

Thinking of Lu Ye, Youluo felt that it hadn't been long since he left.

But if my lord and husband aren't with me, I might want to go find him again. My lord and husband are so much more fun!
It's so much fun!

"Let's talk about it in a few days, hehehe..."

Thinking of something pleasant, Youluo revealed a triumphant smile beneath her black robe.

...

Inside the cave, when Lu Ye returned to Jiang Qingge's place, she was carrying in a pile of firewood, seemingly about to do something.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing her actions, Lu Ye was a little puzzled. Was she trying to keep warm?
The problem is, it's not the right time to get warm yet, and with Jiang Qingge's abilities, she should already be immune to both cold and heat.

"Ah... I was thinking of making you something to eat." Jiang Qingge turned around and said as she saw Lu Ye walk in.

Although their cultivation levels were such that not eating wouldn't be a problem for them.

But Jiang Qingge felt that if she did it herself, it would have a slightly more rustic feel to it.

There was another saying, which she had seen in a book before.

To win a man's heart...

Therefore, Jiang Qingge took this action after seeing Lu Ye return.

She knew that her cooking skills weren't very good, but at least they wouldn't kill anyone.

But if you don't practice more, you'll never make any progress.

Lu Ye: “?”

Is this still the same Jiang Qingge from before?

“Come with me, let’s find somewhere outside. If we light a fire here, the thick smoke won’t escape,” Lu Ye said.

Although Jiang Qingge wanted to do something, she clearly lacked experience in this area.

If a fire is lit inside a cave, and there is no proper ventilation, the thick smoke will simply spread wildly throughout the cave.

"Oh……"

Jiang Qingge nodded obediently and followed Lu Ye out of the cave.

She hadn't observed these intricacies carefully before, so she really didn't know them.

Originally, I just wanted to find an open space so that Jiang Qingge could keep busy for a while. Once she lost interest, there would be no need to say anything more about it.

But after exiting the cave, I looked around a bit...

Lu Ye actually thought that the Floating Cloud Mountain Range in front of him seemed pretty good.

It could be used to create a secluded retreat. So, Lu Ye said, "You do this for a while, I have something to do, I'll come back later..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ye disappeared in a flash, leaving Jiang Qingge standing there with a blank expression.

"Where...where did he go?"

On the other side, Lu Ye was traversing the Floating Cloud Mountains.

His spiritual sense spread out, covering an area of ​​about one kilometer in radius.

It can sense farther away, but with each additional distance, the consumption of spiritual energy also increases significantly, so a range of one kilometer is just right.

After traveling for about twenty or thirty miles, Lu Ye did not find a place he liked in his spiritual sense. As he went deeper into the area, he actually encountered a Shadow Leopard with the strength of a second-tier peak.

These ferocious beasts that have reached a certain level already possess a sense of territory. Upon sensing the arrival of a human two-legged beast, they immediately bared their teeth and claws, trying to scare Lu Ye away.

But suddenly...

This second-tier Shadow Leopard, comparable to a fully-fledged Acquired Realm cultivator, began to tremble with agility, the pressure from the human opposite it was putting on it…

Even stronger than the beast king of this mountain range!
Run away quickly!

With a howl, the second-tier ferocious beast immediately tucked its tail between its legs and scurried away.

"This beast's instinctive senses are really useful; I haven't even gotten close yet."

The next moment, Lu Ye, who had landed there, looked at the Shadow Leopard that had disappeared like a black shadow and shook his head slightly.

However, Lu Ye casually looked around and actually thought the scenery here was not bad.

In addition, there is a rather clear and wide stream that flows out from deeper into the mountains.

Upon seeing the river, Lu Ye's expression shifted, and he decided to follow the stream to take a look.

Lu Ye moved extremely fast, and soon followed the stream to the depths of the mountains.

The source of the stream was actually a pool, and above the pool was a waterfall.

Water cascades down from a cliff more than ten meters high, falling into a pool below with a splashing sound.

"The location here is quite good, and the source energy is also quite abundant..."

Standing before the pool, feeling the mist rising from the cascading waterfall, Lu Ye's expression shifted slightly.

If we were to build something here, it would seem like a feasible solution.

Lu Ye walked around the neighborhood for a while, then went back, intending to have Jiang Qingge come and take a look.

Although it was a secluded place, Lu Ye knew it.

He wanted to improve quickly, and once his resources were exhausted, he would have to go out and find more.

Various secret realms and opportunities will open up, and you can't afford to miss them.

Therefore, the actual amount of time spent staying in one place without moving is not much.

The people living here are most likely Jiang Qingge and her group.

Therefore, Lu Ye planned to have Jiang Qingge come and see if she liked the place.

A short while later, Lu Ye reappeared in the open space where he had parted ways with Jiang Qingge.

Jiang Qingge was no longer there; instead, there was a pile of firewood.

Lu Ye spread his spiritual sense and, sure enough, found Jiang Qingge, who was about to catch a wild pheasant, two miles away.

When Lu Ye arrived, she was crouching behind a tree, ready to strike at any moment.

However, judging from his expression, he seemed a little nervous, as he had never done anything like sneaking around catching chickens before.

Seeing this, Lu Ye shook his head with amusement.

With her current strength, not to mention an ordinary wild pheasant, even a spirit bird wouldn't be able to escape her.

Why be so cautious...? (End of Chapter)
