The night is silent.
There was only the sound of wind and waves hitting the boat, playing slowly and lingeringly.
It's like music under the moonlight, lulling people to sleep.
At the stern of the boat, Luo Qingzhou hugged the person in his arms tightly, refusing to let go.
After a long time.
He looked at her and spoke again: "Okay?"
Yue Yao looked at him quietly, her face still expressionless, and said, "Not good."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Why?"
Yue Yao left his arms in a flash, and stood at the bow. She gave him a cold back view with fluttering sleeves, and said, "Go back and ask your queen how she calls me."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly froze.
Long Er complained angrily, "Sir, that little licker... Well, your queen called me a concubine, and even held the baby and arrogantly asked me to call her good sister."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Headache.
"Sister Yue, in fact, according to the real Da Yan Marriage Law, she also..."
Just when Luo Qingzhou was about to say it out loud, he suddenly stopped.
No, you can’t say that!
If Long Er goes over to mock and provoke Your Majesty, it will be the end of you.
Moreover, Your Majesty now has his baby and is the noble Queen of Dayan. It is impossible for her to be a concubine no matter what.
Also, when the second young lady married him, she was actually being treated as a concubine.
In other words, the queen was originally the legal wife.
If we talk about the people who really followed the marriage ceremony according to the Great Yan's "Marriage Law", the only ones who can be considered as his legal wives are the eldest lady and Her Majesty the Queen.
The identities of these two people are well-deserved and unshakable.
so…
"Sir, what happened to her?"
Long Er asked curiously.
Luo Qingzhou shrugged and said, "Nothing."
Then he looked at the figure at the bow and said, "Sister Yue, don't bother with her, just ignore her. You know her personality, she likes to be competitive and likes to compete with you. In fact, she is very grateful to you and admires you very much."
"so what?"
Yue Yao turned her head and looked at him, and said indifferently: "Will you let me call her sister?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
There was silence for a while.
He whispered, "Sister Yue, I will take care of this matter."
Yue Yao said nothing more and looked into the darkness in the distance.
Luo Qingzhou didn't dare to continue the topic, so he walked over and said, "By the way, Sister Yue, where's Huagu?"
Long Er said in the water: "Sir, Hua Gu has regained consciousness. But it still needs to be nurtured for a while, so that the soul and body can be completely integrated and familiar with each other. After all, they have been separated for too long."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Where is she now?"
Long Er glanced at his side and didn't answer.
Luo Qingzhou also glanced at the side, paused, and said: "Okay, let her rest well."
Then he said, "Sister Yue, after I ate that fiery red spiritual fruit, my cultivation speed has indeed increased a bit in the past month. Now the progress of my physical body is 38, and the progress of my soul is 92, but... there are only two months left, I am afraid it will be too late. Is there any other way to speed up the cultivation speed?"
Yue Yao withdrew her gaze from a distance and said, "It's already very fast."
After that, she took out a wooden box, handed it to him, and said, "This pill is originally for use after the progress reaches 100, and then you can break through. But your situation is special, so you can take it now, and it should increase your cultivation speed. But I don't know if you can successfully break through later."
Luo Qingzhou took the wooden box and opened it carefully.
A strong medicinal aroma suddenly hit my nose.
At the same time, a golden light appeared, flickered a few times, and then went out.
In the wooden box, there is a golden elixir. No matter its color, shape, or fragrance, it is enough to make people excited and salivate.
“Smells so good…”
Long Er in the water swallowed his saliva and said with envy, "There is also golden light. This pill is at least a top-grade elixir. My lord, you are so lucky. Sister treats you so well."
Luo Qingzhou stared blankly at the elixir in the wooden box, and his mind once again recalled the scenes of Sister Yue running around asking people for help and suffering all kinds of grievances in order to find the elixir for alchemy.
"Sister Yue..."
"Even if you successfully break through to the Martial King realm, there is still one thing missing."
Yue Yao interrupted him coldly.
Luo Qingzhou was startled when he heard this, then he came to his senses: "Boxing?"
Yue Yao looked at him with cold eyes and said, "For you, whether it's boxing, swordsmanship, or stickmanship, it's all fine. When you reach the Martial King realm, you can master any martial arts and use them freely. What you lack now is the martial arts of the Martial King realm, and I don't have any of them."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "Sister Yue, do you know where it is?"
Yue Yao said, "I know."
Luo Qingzhou hurriedly said: "Where? Sister Yue, tell me and I will go get it right away."
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Netherworld."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned: "The Netherworld?"
Long Er immediately said, "Sister, you are talking about the ghost world, right? Long Er has also heard from Daddy that many powerful skills and treasures in our ancient times have disappeared, and it seems that they have all gone to the ghost world..."
Yue Yao said calmly, "It's not that they went to the ghost world. When anything in the human world dies or disappears, there will be a shadow there, whether it's a person, an animal, a technique, a treasure, or a mountain, etc."
Long Er was surprised and asked, "Shadow? Is it a soul?"
Yue Yao looked towards the dark night in the distance and said, "I don't know either. I just found some records in books."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue, do you know how to get there?"
Yue Yao seemed to show a hint of hesitation in her eyes. After a moment of silence, she said, "It is said that there is a Flame Mountain in the Qilin Mountains. On every full-moon night, one can enter the Netherworld from the innermost magma pool."
"Qilin Mountain Range? Flame Mountain?"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned when he heard this and said, "Isn't it the ancient ruins we visited last time? Sister Yue, is that the place?"
Yue Yao looked into the distance and said calmly, "I haven't been there, how would I know?"
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Then he remembered that Sister Yue had turned into a little white rabbit there and was...
No, that’s not Sister Yue, no.
"Then I'll go now!"
He couldn't wait to say it.
There are only more than two months left until the Kyushu Conference.
He also had to take elixirs to practice and strive to reach the realm of Martial King, so time was already insufficient.
If you don't hurry up, it will be too late.
Long Er said quickly, "Sir, you can't just go into the ghost world casually. Even if there is an entrance, you may not be able to get in. Daddy said that place is not for humans to go to. If you go in, you can never come back."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou looked at Sister Yue.
Since Sister Yue told me the place, then she should have a way to get in.
Yue Yao was silent for a moment, then said, "Long Er is right, that place is not for human beings to enter."
Luo Qingzhou's expression changed, and he immediately understood what she meant: "Sister Yue means that humans cannot enter, but ghosts can. In other words, our spirits should be able to enter, right?"
Yue Yao looked at him, her eyes moved, and said, "The soul should be able to recover. However... if there is any mistake, it will never come back."
Long Er then threatened: "If the spirit can't come back, the body will slowly rot and disappear. Then, your Majesty the Queen and the baby, the eldest and second young ladies, Chanchan Bailing, the master and uncle, and the lovely Long Er, will never see you again... You will never be able to see or play with their feet again."
Luo Qingzhou was not joking with her, and said solemnly: "Sister Yue, you know that I don't have much time, so I must try. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I am willing. Tell me how to get in, and I will go tonight."
Yue Yao stared at him for a while and said, "If you really want to go, you need Xiao Yue to accompany you. I will go too."
Luo Qingzhou's face changed.
Long Er also hurriedly said: "Sister, Long Er will go with you too."
Luo Qingzhou immediately said, "Sister Yue, His Majesty...she can't go. She just gave birth to a baby, and she is the ruler of a country. The border is not peaceful right now, so I can't let her accompany me to that kind of place. And Sister Yue, you have done too much for me, you can't go either. I can go alone."
Yue Yao said calmly, "The Flame Mountain is not an ordinary volcano. The temperature and flames inside are stronger than those of ordinary volcanoes. Only if Xiaoyue is with you can you go to the innermost part. Otherwise, you can't even get in the door. And I can only protect myself and can't help you. Only her fire spirit body can protect you to get in."
Luo Qingzhou said: "Sister Yue, I also have spiritual fire to protect my body. When I was with Xiaoyue..."
He stopped talking immediately.
Yue Yao glanced at him indifferently and said, "Even if she gave you some, it is far from enough."
Luo Qingzhou fell silent and said nothing more.
Yue Yao looked at him for a while and said, "I'm just telling you the method. You need to make your own choice. In fact, as long as you break through the Martial King realm, even if your technique is weak, coupled with your lightning, most practitioners in the Guiyi realm will not be your opponents. Also, I'm still refining your wooden stick. After adding the fruit core, its power should be even stronger."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly remembered something, searched his body, took out another fiery red fruit core, handed it over, and said, "Sister Yue, this is the second spiritual fruit core, can you see if it can be used?"
Yue Yao took a look at it, her eyes moved slightly, she took it in her hand, and said nothing.
Luo Qingzhou said: "That's it, I will go into seclusion to practice. As for the matter of the technique, we can talk about it later when we have the chance."
Long Er sighed and said, "The three major immortal sects should have it, but unfortunately this kind of skills are extremely rare, and they will not show it to outsiders."
Luo Qingzhou said with a relaxed expression: "It's okay, I still have thunder and lightning."
Yue Yao put away the fruit core, looked at him and said, "After taking the elixir, if you feel any abnormality in your body, remember to tell me."
Luo Qingzhou nodded and said, "Okay."
Then he suddenly said, "Sister Yue, since you have finished refining the elixir, why don't you come with me to practice underground in the palace? That way, if I need help, I can always ask you for advice."
Yue Yao looked into the distance and said, "I have something else to do."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "What's the matter?"
Yue Yao did not answer. With the moonlight flashing on her body, she was about to leave.
Luo Qingzhou quickly pulled her aside and said, "Sister Yue, I want to ask, how did you get all the spiritual medicines to make this elixir?"
Yue Yao looked into the distance and did not answer.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her dim figure in the moonlight and said softly, "I know you are after those elixirs..."
"Practice well."
Yue Yao's figure flashed and disappeared.
A ray of moonlight flew up into the night sky, and soon flew into the clouds, disappearing without a trace.
Luo Qingzhou stood on the boat for a while, turned his head and looked at Long Er in the water, and said, "Practice well."
After saying that, his figure flashed, he got on shore, and went straight to the palace.
The Queen and the baby are sleeping.
Luo Qingzhou took a quick look, then went underground and came to the heart of the spiritual mine.
Without the martial arts skills at the King of Martial Arts level, one's strength would indeed be greatly reduced.
But as long as he breaks through to the Martial King realm, relying on the strength of his body and the powerful force of qi and blood, plus his thunder and lightning, I believe that except for the practitioners at the peak of the Return to One realm, he will not be inferior to the practitioners at other Return to One realms.
Of course, even a cultivator at the peak of the Guiyi realm cannot possibly think of injuring a Martial King.
Therefore, as long as he breaks through the Martial King realm, unless the opponent sends out a master of Thunder Tribulation, there is no chance of taking his life.
And if he fights for his life, even a master at the peak of the Guiyi realm will have to shed a layer of skin!
So, let’s break through quickly.
There are more than two months left.
He hoped that the elixir Sister Yue gave him would produce unexpected effects.
The energy of the fiery red spiritual fruit has not been completely consumed. Red rune-like things are still swimming in his elixir sea, and can continue to bring him more energy.
Of course, there is also his spiritual fluid.
Calm your mind and concentrate.
He calmed his mind and stayed quiet for a while, then slowly opened the wooden box in his hand, prepared to take the elixir given to him by Sister Yue, and then began to retreat.
Just as he took out the elixir and was about to take it, a baby's cry suddenly came from the door: "Aiya..."
He looked up immediately.
The queen was wearing a bright red nightgown, holding the baby in her arms, and was standing at the door looking at him.
The baby was opening his big black eyes, looking at him curiously, while stretching out his little hands, as if wanting to grab him.
Luo Qingzhou quickly put away the elixir, stood up and walked over, saying: "Your Majesty, why are you here? Weren't you sleeping just now?"
Nangong Huoyue showed a gentle look on her face and said, "I just had a dream. I dreamed of you."
Luo Qingzhou stretched out his fingers and let the baby hold them. He said with a gentle look, "What dream?"
Nangong Huoyue looked at him and said, "Nightmare."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her and said, "Then don't say it in front of the baby."
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment, then asked, "Are you going to practice in seclusion again?"
Luo Qingzhou teased the baby with his fingers and said, "Yes, I may need to stay in seclusion for two months."
Nangong Huoyue looked into his eyes, a complex expression in her eyes, and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled, looked at her and said, "No, what's wrong?"
Nangong Huoyue was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay."
Then he added: "You practice, I won't disturb you anymore, I'm going to take the baby to sleep."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the baby reluctantly again, slowly pulled out his fingers, and said, "Okay, go to bed early, we have to attend the court tomorrow."
Nangong Huoyue said nothing more and left with the baby.
Luo Qingzhou looked at her back until she disappeared in the passage not far away, then he turned around and returned to the heart of the spirit mine.
He lowered his head and looked at his fingers.
The baby's grasping fingers still retained the warmth of his palms, and this warmth seemed like another kind of power, penetrating directly into his heart.
He took a deep breath and took out the elixir again.
At this moment, the communication token on his body suddenly vibrated.
He was stunned for a moment. Who could it be at this time
Sister Yue? Or Uncle Master
He took it out and took a look at it, and was stunned for a moment. It turned out to be a message from Xiaoyue who had "disappeared for a long time": Dear brother, sister misses you
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
What's up
Naturally, he didn't dare to call her sister anymore.
It’s not that I don’t dare, but I just feel it’s a bit shameful to continue pretending.
Xiaoyue: I heard that you need help from your sister? It just so happens that my sister is very bored these days and wants to go out for a walk. Good brother, where shall we meet
Luo Qingzhou frowned: Who told you
Xiaoyue: That little devil girl Long'er came to me and told me that her brother needs my help
Luo Qingzhou: I just said it casually. I don't need your help. Don't pay attention to her.
Xiaoyue: But she said that the senior sister has gone alone. Good brother, you asked the senior sister to help you, but you don’t ask your good sister to help you
Luo Qingzhou suddenly stood up from under the Spirit Mine Heart: Is Sister Yue gone
Xiaoyue: Brother, don't you know? Long Er said that Senior Sister is very concerned about your affairs. She left you tonight and went alone.
Luo Qingzhou's figure flashed, he rushed out of the passage, and immediately sent a message to Sister Yue.
But just after editing, he paused and suddenly deleted it.
He thought for a moment, and immediately edited: Sister Yue, I just took the elixir you gave me, and now I feel very uncomfortable in my elixir sea, and my meridians are very painful, and my whole body feels like it is about to explode.
After the message is sent.
He immediately sent another message: Sister Yue, save me, my skin is cracked and bleeding, it hurts so much
He quickly came out of the underground and came to the ground, then his figure flashed and flew into the night sky.
Just as he was about to fly quickly towards the Qilin Mountains, a familiar voice suddenly came from the roof behind him: "Brother, my sister is here!"
Luo Qingzhou was stunned, stopped and turned to look.
On the roof below, a familiar figure wearing a fiery red dress and wrapped in red light was standing there, waving at him excitedly.
Luo Qingzhou froze, and had to turn around and fly over, landing in front of her.
Xiaoyue said excitedly: "Good brother, long time no see!"
Then he said quietly, "You have ignored me for so long. Have you forgotten about me, your good sister? Humph, you even bit my socks."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Xiaoyue jumped into his arms with a smile, hugged him, and said, "Brother, where are we going? I am willing to go with you, even to the mountains of swords and the sea of fire."
Luo Qingzhou's mouth twitched a few times, and he said: "Don't make trouble, just stay at home and coax her..."
"I'm Xiaoyue!"
She suddenly interrupted him, lowered her voice, and said shyly and somewhat proudly: "Little Moon, the licker."
Luo Qingzhou was speechless.
But no matter what, he couldn't take risks with her.
"Xiaoyue, listen to me, this matter..."
"Brother, listen first."
Xiaoyue interrupted him again and said firmly, "This time, I must go with you. Senior sister has done so much for you, but I have done nothing. I am very sad. Does your brother let you pay but not me? Does he look down on me? Or does he think that you are closer to him but not to me? Since you and I are a family, we should live and die together and face danger together, right?"
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, then said: "Xiaoyue, if it was before, I could let you go, but now, you have..."
"elder brother."
Xiaoyue looked at him lovingly and said, "If it was before, I would not be willing to accompany you on this adventure, let alone live and die with you. But now, I am willing and I have the responsibility to accompany you. If you can do it, why can't I? Good brother, give me a chance. Even if I really die there with you, I am willing and happy."
At this point, she paused, and then said softly, "If you don't want me to bear the danger with you, then I will be very sad and upset. If I am sad and upset, I may tell you all of your past embarrassments. And... my brother's baby will have no milk to drink."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
Xiaoyue leaned in his arms and hugged him tightly: "Brother, let me go with you. This matter is not just my brother's business, I also have responsibilities. Let's bear it together and face it together, okay?"
Luo Qingzhou was still hesitating.
At this time, Xiaoyue suddenly looked up into the air and said, "Senior Sister, is it okay? Can Xiaoyue go with us?"
Luo Qingzhou immediately turned his head and looked behind him.
In the night sky, a moon-white figure stood there, silent and motionless. It was unknown how long it had been there.
The moon-white figure was silent for a while, then said, "Ask him."
Before Luo Qingzhou could answer, the girl in his arms suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the lips, and begged, "Good brother, if you promise me, when I come back, I will give you all my socks to play with, okay? I will also let you play with my cute feet, okay?"
Then suddenly she added: "If you feel that this is not enough, I will grab you and let you play with your socks and feet, okay? Your socks are so fragrant and soft, and your feet..."
Luo Qingzhou immediately blocked her mouth, turned around and looked at Yue Bai's figure behind him, and said, "Sister Yue, if the three of us go together, what are the chances of coming back?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't know."
Xiaoyue immediately took his hand away and said, "Good brother, my sister has always had good luck. With my sister here, don't worry, brother, I will definitely come back safely."
After saying that, the red shadow flashed and immediately flew into the night sky, saying: "Senior Sister, let's go, Xiaoyue's Red Flame Fire Moon Spear is thirsty!"
“Wow!”
As soon as she finished speaking, a flaming red spear suddenly appeared in her hand.
And between her eyebrows, there was also a flame mark that suddenly appeared.
Luo Qingzhou looked up at the night sky.
Under the moonlight, a white figure and a red figure stood opposite each other, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
This scene is so familiar.
Just like before, those nights when he first knew them, she and she stood on the eaves of the attic, bathing in the moonlight, looking at the night, and quietly listening to his stories...
Big moon, small moon.
In the end, they stood together again because of him.
I wonder if one night in the future, they will kneel together because of him...
Bang!
He suddenly slapped himself.
"wait for me!"
He did not hesitate any longer, and in a flash he returned to the training room. He gave instructions to Yuewu and Yueying, and then sat down with the Queen's real body.
Then, his soul left his body.
Of course, there is still a wisp of soul left in the body.
The spirit flew through the roof and into the night sky, and flew in front of the two of them. It looked at them affectionately and said, "Then... let's go together."
“Hmmmm!”
Xiaoyue nodded happily.
Dayue remained cold and silent, and with a flash of moonlight, he flew high into the sky.
The night is silent.
The three figures quickly disappeared in the night sky of Dayan Kyoto.
