There was unprecedented happiness in little Ji Mingyu's eyes, but Xi Yue felt uneasy.
She couldn't help but secretly follow the masked man.
After walking away for a distance, the masked man turned around and looked in the direction of the wooden house and the waterfall, then took off the mask on his face.
Seeing the face behind the mask, Xi Yue showed a look of surprise.
It was an extremely terrifying face.
Most of the flesh and skin had rotted away, and the remaining skin that had not rotted away was wrinkled and bluish-white, as if it had been separated from the flesh and bones.
Then, she heard the man's deep voice, "Too slow, still too slow. It will take at least ten thousand years for my body to grow... No, at least, I need him to ascend to the Divine Realm within a hundred years, so that I can safely set traps in the Trial Space."
"Haha, Ji Mingyu, my good disciple, don't you want to fulfill your filial piety? Master will give you this opportunity!"
Xi Yue took a deep breath and felt her whole body and even her soul go cold.
This person is indeed Ji Chengfeng.
So this is what Ji Chengfeng meant when he said that Ji Mingyu was just a shell he raised.
It turns out that Ji Chengfeng was once Ji Mingyu's master.
However, this master educated his apprentice only to take over his body, but did not give him the slightest kindness, only calculations and punishments.
Xi Yue took a deep breath, a firm and stern look on her face.
No matter what Ji Chengfeng's purpose is, now that she is here and beside Ji Mingyu, she will definitely not allow Ji Chengfeng's conspiracy to succeed.
Xi Yue returned to little Ji Mingyu.
The days that followed returned to peace.
Little Ji Mingyu's daily life is monotonous, just practicing, practicing, and practicing.
Moreover, this time, he practiced more diligently and desperately than before, so his strength naturally improved by leaps and bounds.
After a while, the spirit pet egg left by Ji Chengfeng hatched.
What came out was a very strange-looking monster with horns and wings.
Xi Yue couldn't recognize what species this monster was, she only knew that it had a very high IQ.
And maybe as soon as she opened her eyes and saw Xiao Mingyu, she treated him as her closest person and stuck to him all day long.
Little Mingyu also liked the little monster very much. He named it "Xiaotian" and kept it with him all day long.
One man and one beast, they practice together, hunt together, and occasionally play together.
It was the first time that Xiyue saw a smile on little Ji Mingyu's face. Although it was a very faint smile, it made Xiyue feel better.
However, when Xi Yue thought of the name "Xiaotian", she felt a little uneasy.
When Ji Mingyu and Ji Chengfeng were fighting for control of the body, she seemed to hear Ji Chengfeng mention the name "Xiaotian".
In the illusion, time passes by without knowing the sun or the moon.
Clearly several years have passed, but to Xi Yue, a bystander, it was just a change of scenes.
During this period, Xiaotian grew up and became a powerful pet that could soar in the sky with great majesty.
Ji Mingyu, who looked like a child, grew up to be a handsome young man.
Xiaotian often carried Ji Mingyu to soar into the sky, seeing every corner of the forest.
However, there was an extremely powerful barrier surrounding the forest, and no matter what the two tried, they could not fly out.
During this period, Ji Chengfeng came back several times to check on Ji Mingyu's cultivation progress.
If Ji Mingyu was found to have delayed his training for the slightest, he would be punished with a whip.
Moreover, that whip is a divine whip. (To be continued)
