Shen Xinghai took a step back.
The unsportsmanlike little cloud beast shook its head and took a step forward with its four swift paws.
It gave a clear chirp, its voice soft and gentle like a lamb.
"Mee!"
Shen Xinghai didn't understand the meaning at first, but soon he knew what the bleating sound meant.
However, he saw that the numerous clouds behind the little cloud beast gradually condensed into four tiny claws, which rushed towards him like a gust of wind, with their mouths wide open and sharp teeth showing, looking very ferocious.
Shen Xinghai no longer dared to hope for the best, and immediately turned around and ran away, limping.
He tried his best to jump to the place where the red leaf forest was dense, but the cloud beast could even swallow the cloud island, let alone these trees. The continuous "crackling" sound behind him made his hair stand on end.
Shen Xinghai's heart sank at this moment, knowing that he could not escape from these cloud beasts, so he simply drew his sword and turned around to confront the cloud beasts head-on!
Before the battle, it is customary to shout.
Although his voice was bitter, his momentum was as strong as ever.
"A man should be as determined as iron until his death. Try your hand and kill Huang Tian!"
The sound was so powerful and righteous that it caused the red leaves in the forest to fall to the ground.
However, it was of no use. The cloud beasts could not understand his nonsense, nor did they comprehend his heroic spirit. They opened their mouths and bit towards Shen Xinghai without giving him any face!
But the mouth couldn't bite down.
A violent gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing the group of cloud beasts away in a spiral, but Shen Xinghai was caught by a fat dragon tail and did not fly far away.
The little fire dragon flicked its tail lazily, and Shen Xinghai rolled onto its broad back like a parabola.
The frustrated swordsman lay flat on the dragon's back with his arms and legs spread out, not moving. Zhu Erchong beside him was very excited and shook his shoulders: "Junior Brother Shen! Fortunately, you are okay! I was so worried!"
Su Yuan Zhenren stood with his feet up beside him and sneered, "I was worried, but you were almost dead asleep at that time."
After hearing Master Su Yuan's voice, Shen Xinghai finally responded. He propped himself up with difficulty and said happily, "Senior, it turns out you are not dead."
Although he knew that his two disciples meant well, the way they spoke sounded like they were cursing him to death.
Master Suyuan was really feeling miserable.
Seeing that not only was Master Su Yuan still alive, but even Ye Shubai and Wen Yun had arrived, Shen Xinghai was very happy and immediately forgot the pain in his body.
After he told his story in a few words, he sat on the dragon's back and shouted at the group of cloud beasts below.
"Come on! Aren't you going to have a group fight?"
Are you the only ones who know how to call people
Sorry, I have brothers too!
Unexpectedly, these words really worked. The cloud beasts that had been gradually retreating stopped moving. The little cloud beast in the lead bleated, kicked its hind legs, and angrily charged towards Shen Xinghai!
The little fire dragon didn't bother to pay attention to these cloud beasts. It flapped its wings and blew them away. It snorted disdainfully and flew back leisurely with a group of people.
The mighty Fire Dragon looks down on these cloud beasts. Isn't it just a matter of wings
However, no one expected that the cloud beast could hold a grudge to such an extent.
Because the Cloud Sea Realm is so vast, it takes more than a month to get back to one's own Cloud Island from here. When the little fire dragons responsible for carrying people get tired, they will land on some small Cloud Island to rest for a while.
Whenever this happened, the cloud beasts would sneak in in the dark and launch a surprise attack.
Often, when the little fire dragon closed its eyes and took a nap, a group of cloud beasts would rush over to bite it. It was so tired after flying all day that it could only force itself to fan them away.
The little fire dragon, who couldn't even sleep well, was disturbed by this. If Wen Yun hadn't let it go back to the staff to rest and everyone had flown back to the island on swords, the dragon would probably have gone crazy and rushed to fight with the cloud beasts.
Although Wen Yun and Ye Shubai also helped to chase away the cloud beasts, these guys were very persistent and intelligent. They were afraid of Wen Yun and the other three who had high cultivation levels and did not dare to provoke them, but when it came to Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai, they were not afraid at all.
Often when they were flying happily in the clouds, an ordinary white cloud beside them would suddenly grow a big mouth and bite them down.
Especially Shen Xinghai, who became the first target of the cloud beast's attack.
Even with Wen Yun's protection, he was still bitten several times. Fortunately, his flesh was not bitten off, but half of the sword on his waist was bitten off, which made the strong man cry for two days.
Fortunately, after returning to the more populated Cloud Island, the cloud beasts quietly disappeared and no longer wandered around.
Shen Xinghai jumped off the little fire dragon, turned his head worriedly to look at the roiling sea of clouds, and said hesitantly: "For some reason, I feel like they are still staring at us."
Wen Yun, who was also troubled by the cloud beasts, was alert and quickly restrained Shen Xinghai: "Brother Shen, you are tired from the journey. Come with me to visit this cloud island."
But we can't let Shen Xinghai continue talking. If he doesn't speak, it's fine. But once he opens his mouth, trouble will really come.
In fact, several decades have passed since Master Suyuan left the Yunhai Realm.
The island that Wen Yun insisted on keeping as the gate of the Qingliu Sword Sect has now undergone tremendous changes.
The most eye-catching thing is the layers of green mountains in the middle of Yun Island. Master Su Yuan remembered that there was originally only a solitary peak, but now there are ten mountains of different heights!
Standing at the foot of the mountain, they vaguely had the illusion that they had returned to the Qingliu Sword Sect.
"Huh? Did I remember it wrong or did you guys change the island?"
Wen Yun suppressed his laughter and pointed at Ye Shubai beside him: "Don't look at me, he did it."
He was quite calm, standing in front with a sword in hand, and spoke calmly as if he was talking about a trivial matter: "I cut off the mountains from several other Cloud Islands and moved them here."
Of course, the previous branch peak of the Tenth Peak was also moved here.
This was not the first time he had done this, and he was now very skilled at it. The mountains were sitting firmly on the island and showed no signs of collapsing.
Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai, who had long been accustomed to this man's perversion, were silent for a moment, and then felt that this kind of thing didn't seem so strange, so they happily began to build their own courtyard on the peak to settle down.
One of them ran to the first peak, and the other ran to the second peak, and both started building houses according to the location they remembered.
Wen Yun was not in a hurry to return to Yunhai Tower at this moment, so she helped the two of them build the courtyard with great interest. With her help, the two projects were completed after dusk.
"Junior Sister Wen, it's been a long time since we last met. You can't leave today."
Zhu Erchong smiled and slowly took things out of the mustard seed sac.
"This is plum wine brewed by Senior Sister Meng Ran. She said that this jar was buried on the day you ascended to heaven. Now..."
Zhu Erchong carefully calculated with his hands, frowning for a long time but couldn't come up with an answer.
Wen Yun smiled and replied softly, "It has been seventy years and two months now."
Her memory was not very good, but for some reason, she had a deep impression of the early morning of her ascension day. She even remembered clearly the appearance of the birds flying in front of the mountain gate and the dewdrops hanging on the treetops.
"Yes, yes, yes, she asked me to bring it to you." Zhu Erchong poured the wine and took out a bunch of food from it: "This is a roasted helicopter chicken, which was specially roasted by your second senior brother. It turns out that the people from your Tenth Peak are all good at cooking. And this, is..."
Before we knew it, the small stone table was already filled with all kinds of food.
Zhu Erchong has always been talkative, and all the major events in the world of cultivation become particularly vivid and interesting when he tells them. Although Shen Xinghai is a man of few words, his occasional words are very interesting.
Wen Yun listened with a smile and refilled the glasses for the two from time to time. Before they knew it, the jar of plum wine was empty and the words uttered by the two sword cultivators gradually became unclear.
"Junior Sister Wen, I haven't seen you for decades, and you're still so pretty, hehe, so pretty!"
Zhu Erchong did not persuade Wen Yun to drink, but instead drank a glass of wine himself. After hearing this, the drunk Shen Xinghai nodded blankly.
His cheeks flushed, and he held the wine glass and smiled foolishly: "I was still telling Junior Brother Shen on the way here, you and Senior Brother Ye... No, it's Grandmaster Ye who have been in the Cloud Sea Realm for decades. I'm afraid that the children will be soy sauce when they meet again. How come the result is still the same as before? Grandmaster Ye is not good enough!"
"No way!" Shen Xinghai howled.
"… "
If we let them continue shouting, I'm afraid they will say more weird things.
Wen Yun did not hesitate and decisively took the jar of wine and poured it into Zhu Erchong's mouth.
The latter gulped down several big mouthfuls of wine and became more and more dizzy. The words he spoke became unclear and finally he tilted his head and fell into Shen Xinghai's arms.
Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and couldn't help but be glad that Ye Shubai didn't come.
Just as he was thinking this, a very light breeze suddenly rose from the clouds and grass not far away. Wen Yun was startled, thinking that Ye Shubai had come to pick him up, but he didn't expect that the wind was caused by a huge white cloud.
"Cloud beast!"
It turned out that they did not retreat back into the depths of the sea of clouds, but were lurking nearby, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge. Now their target was quite clear, and they went straight towards the drunk Shen Xinghai.
Wen Yun quickly summoned the dragon bone staff, opened and closed his upper and lower lips quickly, and the golden source power turned into a strong wind that blew towards the oncoming cloud beasts.
"The hurricane is howling!"
The cloud beasts were soon blown away by the strong wind, but one of the little beasts with a thin rope tied around its neck let out a bleat and bit Shen Xinghai's leg. No matter how strong the hurricane blew, it refused to let go. It seemed that it was determined to take revenge.
But unfortunately, Wen Yun would never let it hurt the people he wanted to protect!
If it were someone else, it would probably take a lot of effort to deal with these immortal cloud beasts, and even if they were exhausted of their energy, they might not be able to defeat them.
But Wen Yun is different.
She always fights with her brain, not just brute force!
The water vapor brought by the running cloud beasts hung on her cheeks, and even condensed into tiny beads of crystal dew on the top of her hair and the ends of her eyebrows.
In the night wind, the girl in a moon-white gauze skirt gracefully waved the giant staff in her hand. An icy breath condensed from the tip of the staff and flew accurately towards the little cloud beast.
"Mee!"
After a soft scream, the little cloud beast kicked up its four legs and froze into an ice cube with its mouth wide open, and fell to the ground with a thud.
Shen Xinghai, who had been bitten for a long time, opened his eyes belatedly, frowned and asked vaguely: "Junior Sister Wen, why do I feel a little pain in my legs..."
Wen Yun took a look and confirmed that Shen Xinghai's leg was not bitten off, so he comforted him casually: "It's okay, you slept in the wrong position and it hurts."
After hearing this answer, Shen Xinghai took it seriously. He kicked Zhu Erchong, who was sleeping on his legs, away and turned over drunkenly to continue sleeping.
The little cloud beast that was frozen into ice opened its mouth wide and stared at Wen Yun who was walking towards it with fear.
Wen Yun put down the dragon bone wand, squatted slowly, and knocked on the hard ice.
In fact, it was not only Shen Xinghai who wanted to capture a cloud beast as a mount. There were actually quite a few people in the Cloud Sea Realm who specialized in capturing and selling cloud beasts. However, the price of a cloud beast was comparable to that of a small cloud island, which was extremely expensive, so they all kept their respective capturing methods secret and were unwilling to disclose them.
At least Wen Yun had never heard of how to capture cloud beasts before.
It suddenly occurred to her that these cloud beasts seemed to carry a very thick layer of water vapor on their bodies. It might be difficult to catch them by other means, but if they were frozen into ice, wouldn't they be within her grasp
In fact, it was only because the person who cast the spell was Wen Yun, and the little cloud beast was biting Shen Xinghai tightly and refused to let go, that it was able to be frozen so easily. Otherwise, with the speed of the cloud beasts, I'm sorry, ordinary spells could not catch up with their speed.
The little cloud beast couldn't move or call at this moment, and could only let her do whatever she wanted.
The other cloud beasts that had been blown away by the hurricane now ran towards them like crazy, bleating in low or sharp sounds. They wanted to go forward but were worried that Wen Yun would do something bad to the little cloud beast, so they could only stare at her in fear and threat.
Wen Yun stretched out his hand, and the cloud beasts all roared angrily.
"Mee!"
"What are you talking about? I didn't mean to hurt it."
She patted the little cloud beast, and the hard ice suddenly turned into a pool of water in her palm.
The little fellow who had just been frozen in there rolled his eyes and bleated pitifully yet fiercely, but because his body was frozen, he could not escape for a while.
Wen Yun was not at all panicked despite the intimidation from the cloud beasts. He took the opportunity to rub the cloud beasts happily. After he was satisfied, he put the little guy on the ground and pushed it gently.
The little cloud beast that she had rubbed felt that most of the coldness in its body had dissipated. The moment it landed, it spread out its four short legs and ran quickly towards the group of cloud beasts.
Hiding behind its elders, it cautiously poked its head out to look at Wen Yun, and bleated twice with unclear meaning.
She smiled and said gently, "My senior brother offended you before. He was wrong, but he also suffered because of you. I will let you go this time. How about we call it quits?"
Wen Yun did not intend to kill all these cloud beasts.
It was indeed Shen Xinghai who initiated the incident this time, so he doesn't blame others for holding a grudge against them.
The little cloud beast bared its teeth at Shen Xinghai, looked at Wen Yun, turned its head away, and bleated as a response. However, this creature held a grudge, and perhaps was angry, so it opened its mouth and wanted to bite the cloud soil under its feet to vent its anger.
"No!" Wen Yun stopped them immediately, and irresponsibly pointed in another direction: "This Cloud Island is mine, you are not allowed to eat it. If you want to eat it, go eat it over there!"
The little cloud beasts pawed the ground impatiently with their hind legs and bleated a few times, cursing and bleating, but still, under the intimidation of Wen Yun, they obediently led their tribe to leave her Cloud Island and flew away to find food.
After eating and drinking their fill, they swaggered back in the form of clouds and mist, hovering above Shen Xinghai's yard, unwilling to leave.
So the whole island was sunny, except for Shen Xinghai's yard, which was cloudy and rainy, and looked very bleak at first glance.
Wen Yun glanced leisurely at the group of cloud beasts.
They shrank back but still refused to leave. Instead, they shook their limp bodies even more frantically. As a result, the rain in Shen Xinghai's yard became heavier, almost drowning the two people on the ground.
She watched for a while, and when she found that these cloud beasts had no intention of biting anyone again, she let them go free.
Anyway, sword cultivators have thick skin and strong flesh, so they will be fine if they get caught in the rain.
Moreover... they probably wouldn't find the rain strange. According to the divergent thinking of these two people, they would probably just think that this is a characteristic of the Cloud Sea Realm.
Sure enough, after waking up the next day, neither of them noticed that there was anything wrong with the clouds above their heads.
Because they are busy fighting at the moment.
After waking up, Shen Xinghai, who was soaked all over, was busy chasing Zhu Erchong, who was also miserable, all over the mountain. Although he was limping, it could not slow down his speed.
Wen Yun looked at it in surprise. Weren’t these two able to sleep in each other’s arms yesterday? Why were they fighting again now
"What's going on?"
"Junior Brother Shen insisted that I broke his foot!" Zhu Erchong cried aggrievedly, "How could I be so heavy that I could break the leg of a Jindan-stage cultivator!"
Wen Yun quickly cast a healing spell on Shen Xinghai and called the two of them: "Today is the beginning of the month again. Xiaobai and I are going to practice in Yunhai Tower. Do you want to go and take a look, or practice here?"
She was just asking casually. These two people have not yet practiced the skills from the upper realm and are only in the Jindan stage. If they go there, they will probably be beaten out immediately.
But what no one expected was that they not only wanted to see the Yunhai Tower, but also wanted to have a fight inside the Yunhai Tower!
Wen Yun frowned and wanted to object, but Ye Shubai, who had been silent, spoke up: "Let them go. They can't grow into giant trees in a greenhouse. How can the younger generation of our Qingliu Sword Sect shrink back and not move forward?"
"… "
Xiaobai, it makes sense that Zhu Erchong has been in the greenhouse all the time, but as for Shen Xinghai, not to mention his previous painful experiences, he was just beaten by a cloud beast last night!
Even though he complained thousands of times in his heart, Wen Yun still gave face to Ye Shubai in front of the juniors.
After all, we are all ancestors.
She did not object this time and still led the enthusiastic Zhu Erchong and Shen Xinghai to fly to the Yunhai Tower.
Before leaving, she looked back.
But I saw the golden warm sun spreading over the entire Cloud Island, reflecting a circle of extremely soft light.
The only exception is Shen Xinghai's courtyard.
There was a thick layer of dark clouds over there, and the drizzle had long since turned into heavy rain. I thought the place would be flooded in two days.
Creatures like cloud beasts...really hold grudges.
The group rushed towards Yunhai City.
As usual, Master Su Yuan took the two newcomers to the Silver-Armored Guards to receive the Cloud Cards, and did not forget to brag about his glorious past.
Anyway, you can brag about it to them as you like, without having to worry about being cruelly slapped in the face like what happened to Wen Yun and Ye Shubai.
When Wen Yun was about to go to the fourth floor, he suddenly heard a familiar voice—
"It's really abominable! I don't know why those cloud beasts dared to come to a place with so many people, and they ate up all the Cloud Island where I live! They only left me a palm-sized space. If I didn't have wings, I would have fallen directly under the sea of clouds!"
"I wanted to catch them, but Yifei hid somewhere else! I searched for a long time but couldn't find him!"
The winged man Yi Yu was now shaking his wings and complaining angrily to his fellow tribesmen. The object of his accusation was the cloud beast that should not have appeared in this area.
Wen Yun felt a little uneasy. If she guessed correctly, she was the one who lured the cloud beast over there
What's even more coincidental is that the group of cloud beasts seemed to be planning to settle down at her place, and judging from their vengeful attitude, they would never give up unless Shen Xinghai's yard was watered for a year or two.
She turned quickly and prepared to hide in the Yunhai Tower, but unfortunately, Yi Yu was also walking into the tower at this time, and the two happened to meet.
When Yi Yu saw Wen Yun, his eyes lit up and the anger on his face instantly turned into a sweet smile.
"It's been several years since we last met, my dear sister." He quickly came forward and looked at Wen Yun with a bright smile: "I have asked you out seven times, but you didn't agree once. Can you agree this time?"
After he finished speaking, he weighed his cloud card, only to see that the number on it had become number ninety-nine on the fourth level.
"I am already a fourth-level expert. Among young people under a thousand years old, I am not the best, but I am outstanding. You rejected me before because I am only at the third level. You wanted to wait for a good price, right?"
Yi Yu showed off her tail feathers, and then she ruffled her hair, and said to Wen Yun leisurely: "A beauty must choose a strong man to rely on, and I am not only strong but also handsome. If you miss me, you will never find a better spouse. When you are older and not as beautiful as you are now, I will not choose you again."
Although he is ordinary, he is extremely confident.
Wen Yun raised his eyelids lazily, smiling: "Oh, then I have to congratulate you, it turns out that you have reached the fourth floor."
Yi Yu wondered: "Also?"
The cold girl shook the cloud card in her hand, and the number on it was exactly after his, one hundred.
"Stop talking and go in and get beaten."
Sorry, I am a beauty, but I am also a strong person.
