Chapter 1181:- Test (3)
"By the way..." Xue Ying seemed to think of something and said, blinking her beautiful eyes, "I heard that our disciple hasn't become a spirit cultivator. With her strength, she will not be able to pass the test of the academy! Why don't we just let her pass it now?"
"That's a good idea. Our disciple is delicate. How can she stand the test? I think we should just let her pass!" Ling Hai agreed with Xue Ying.
Since Yun Luofeng had become their disciple, there was no need for her to participate in the test and she could be directly admitted to the Academy.
"No." Yun Luofeng, however, shook her head and refused their kindness. "I can get into the academy with my own strength, and I don't need any back door."
"Haha." He laughed, stroking his snow-white beard and nodding with satisfaction, "Good! Okay, you can take the test if you want! But if you really can't handle it, you can give up. I'll let someone protect you."
Because the stone didn't detect Yun Luofeng's level, they thought she hadn't started cultivation, so they had this concern. Yun Luofeng didn't refuse their kindness, or explain it to them.
She came here for the Soul Fruit. Before taking it, she had to hide her strength. Otherwise, if others found out about her strength, they would certainly doubt her purpose for entering the Academy.
She would never expose her real strength until she had the Soul Fruit!
"Disciple, have you decided which course you'll take?" Xue Ying looked at Yun Luofeng tenderly and spoke kindly.
"On this continent, the profession of physician is very popular. Disciple, learn medical skills with me and you will be highly esteemed," said Ling Hai with a chuckle.
"Medicine is boring, not as interesting as beast taming! My baby disciple, learn beast taming with me. I'll catch a spirit beast for you as your ride."
"No! She is good at cultivation, so she should concentrate on cultivation. Medicine and beast taming are not suitable for her."
The elders began to argue again. They violently exchanged words and their faces flushed with anger, as if they would not stop until they reached their goal.
The corners of Yun Luofeng's mouth twitched as she watched them argue. She turned to the old man who brought her here and asked, "So is this the way your elders communicate with each other?"
The old man was so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to hide in.
"They do often argue for an item or a talent, but this is the first time they have argued so violently."
He meant that they would not have argued like this had it not been for Yun Luofeng.
Yun Luofeng interrupted the old men's argument with a smile on her lips.
"Stop arguing. I prefer liberal studies!" Yun Luofeng stroked her chin and blinked, and a wicked smile appeared over her lips, "So maybe I'll be frequently absent from the courses of the academy. I would like to tell you about this in advance."
When she was in Huaxia, she was also frequently absent from school, because she preferred self-study to classroom learning ...
Xu Kong sighed helplessly, "You can do as you like. Since you're our disciple, you'll have this freedom. You can study by yourself if you don't want to go to class! But if you have any problem, you can ask me anytime..."

Chapter 1182:- Test (4)
"Okay," Yun Luofeng said, lazily stretching herself and casting a wicked glance at the elders. "If you've finished, I'll leave for a rest."
"Go ahead."
Xu Kong waved, "If anyone in the Academy bullies you, just tell us, and we'll avenge you."
Hearing this, Yun Luofeng stopped and a warm feeling ran through her heart. She came to the Western Province Academy for a purpose. Though she recognized these people as her teachers, she still hid her purpose from them.
But they really treated her as their disciple...
...
After she left, the elders withdrew their gaze, and the smiles on their old faces faded away.
"What happened?" Xu Kong asked coldly, his face somber.
Xue Ying looked at him and shook her head helplessly, "The Infinity Sect was annihilated."
"What? The Infinity Sect?" Ling Hai's eyes filled with shock, "It's no weaker than our academy. Who on earth has such a great power to annihilate the entire Infinity Sect?"
Xue Ying gave a wry smile, "Do you forget what happened the other day? The Infinity Sect had a conflict with a young man and sent all its masters to hunt him. During this process, some other powers also intervened. However, all of them couldn't beat him, and in the end, the Infinity Sect was even annihilated by him."
Alas!
The elders all gasped in shock.
"What's that young man's name again? I remember he has a title..." Xu Kong patted his head and asked with a frown.
"I know," Qiong Tian jumped to his feet and said with a smile as soon as he heard this. "His title is -Ghost Emperor!"
Ghost Emperor!
Hearing the two words, Xu Kong sank into a reverie. After quite a while, he asked, "What's the reaction of the other powers that intervened in their conflict? I don't think they can keep away from it."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Xue Ying's face, "They want our academy to help them deal with the Ghost Emperor."
"Help them?" Hearing this, Xu Kong frowned again, "Our academy never meddles in the conflicts of the powers on the continent. Besides, they offended the Ghost Emperor because they wanted to rob him. How can they have the nerve to ask us to help them?"
"I think my brother made a good point."
Xu Wu took a glance at his brother. "The Ghost Emperor is very powerful. We'd better not get involved in it. Otherwise, we may end up being the next Infinity Sect."
"Haha," Ling Hai laughed, "to be honest, I appreciate the Ghost Emperor a lot. If I had met him earlier, I would have tried to take him as my disciple."
"You'd better forget it." Xue Ying gave a wry smile. "The Ghost Emperor will bring you a lot of trouble. If he becomes your disciple, you'll be busy solving troubles for him all day long. Look how many people on this continent want to kill him! But he never backs down and doesn't yield even an inch! He annihilated the Infinity Sect without blinking! Isn't he afraid of arousing public anger? I think Feng'er is much better than him. As a girl, she must be more sensible than the Ghost Emperor and won't cause so many troubles like him."
At this time, Xue Ying didn't know that the troubles caused by Yun Luofeng would no less than those by Yun Xiao.
By the time she realized it, it was too late, and she could only solve the troubles for her while secretly shedding remorseful tears.
.

Chapter 1183:- Test (5)
Thinking of Yun Luofeng, the elders immediately forgot the tragedy of the Infinity Sect and a proud smile appeared on their faces.
"We were really lucky to have such a gifted disciple, and when the other elders learn about it, I wonder if they will have an urge to cry, haha!"
There were many elders in the West Province Academy. However, some of them didn't stay in the Elders' Office that day, so they didn't know about Yun Luofeng...
...
The Western Province cultivator Academy arranged cultivation rooms for disciples and they would even sleep in them.
The cultivation rooms fell into four types according to a student's level, which were respectively heaven-level, earth-level, black-level, and yellow-level rooms. Among them, as the worst ones, the yellow-level cultivation rooms were only common small rooms with very little spirit energy. On the contrary, the heaven-level rooms were as luxurious as residences of rich families and the spirit energy in them was so dense that it had turned into a thick fog.
If you cultivated in it, you would get twice the result with half the effort.
As for the ranking of the students...
There were four rolls with student rankings, which were also named after heaven, earth, black, and yellow.
All newly-enrolled students were listed on the Yellow Roll. If anyone wanted to have a rise in rank, he had to challenge a disciple listed on the Black Roll; and those on the Black Roll who wanted to have a rise in rank also had to fight with disciples listed on the Earth Roll.
Except for the Yellow Roll, all other rolls had a limitation on the number of disciples...
There were only fifty disciples on the Black Roll, twenty on the Earth Roll, and ten on the Heaven Roll! So if anyone was defeated by a disciple on the Yellow Roll, he would be demoted to the Yellow Roll and had to hand over his cultivation room.
If he wanted to return to the Black Roll, he had to challenge a disciple of the Black Roll from scratch...
This was the rule of the West Province Academy!
"This is your room."
A disciple took Yun Luofeng and the other people into a cultivation room and said expressionlessly, "If you can't pass the test in three days, you have to hand over this room and leave the academy."
An Zihao frowned in disgust. "Isn't there a better room? This room is dirty and messy. How can my Miss live here?"
The disciple sneered and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face. "Yes, there are better rooms. But those rooms aren't for people like you. You'd better just shut up and take it."
A guard, a several-year-old girl, and a teenage girl who hadn't even started cultivation, what made them think they could choose a cultivation room? Every disciple started from this kind of room! He didn't even complain. What made them think they could?
"Be polite!
Angered by his attitude, An Zihao glared at the disciple. He didn't mind being insulted, but he would never allow anyone to insult his Miss.
Just as An Zihao was trying to get a better room, Yun Luofeng quietly pushed the door open and walked into the room. She sat down, took out the tea set and tea leaves from her space ring and made herself a cup of tea, her face calm and her black, unfathomable eyes impassive.
An Zihao immediately stopped talking.
Even Yun Luofeng didn't complain about the living conditions. As a man, why couldn't he bear it?
But...
"Miss, I'm sorry I can't find a better room for you." An Zihao lowered his head and said apologetically.
Even in those days when they were on the run, he never let Miss live in such terrible conditions! Even if he went begging, he would let Miss live a comfortable life.
But... when they came to the West Province Academy, his Miss who had never gone through any real hardship had to live in such a shabby room.
.

Chapter 1184:- Test (6)
"It's alright, Brother Zihao," the little girl said with a cute smile. "We can't afford that much now. It would be nice just to have a place to live."
An Zihao was moved to tears. His Miss was always so sensible. She knew it was not easy for him these days, so she didn't forget to comfort him even at this time.
"Boohoo," An Zihao wiped away tears. "Miss, I swear I'll let you live a good life in the future."
Listening to their sentimental words, Yun Luofeng poured herself a cup of tea and slowly took a sip of it. Staring at them, it was like she was watching a funny drama, and the smile on her face spread.
"Miss Yun."
An Zihao wanted to enter the room to greet Yun Luofeng only to see the girl raise her hand and slam the door shut with a bang. She just turned a cold shoulder to him.
He rubbed his nose, but he didn't look downcast at all. "Miss, we live next door to her now. We're so close to her. I believe we'll befriend her someday."
"Brother Zihao..." the little girl bit her lips, "I think we should just give it up. She seems to take us as troublemakers and doesn't want to get close to us...
"No! Miss, although we managed to escape here and temporarily hide from those people, we're still in danger. If we can have her protect us, we'll be safe, so we can't give up on it."
Looking at the confident An Zihao, the little girl didn't want to disappoint him, so she didn't say a word.
At that moment, Xiao Mo suddenly appeared in front of Yun Luofeng and blinked. "Master, you're not going to help Arale?"
"Arale?"
Yun Luofeng paused and cast him a doubtful glance.
"The little girl whom you shut the door on. Don't you think she looks like an Arale? I don't know her real name, so I call her by this name."
Yun Luofeng hadn't noticed it. Now hearing Xiao Mo's words, she found that the little girl did look like an Arale.
"No, it's too troublesome."
Yun Luofeng took a sip of tea and glanced at Xiao Mo, "You want to help her? Did you forget Xiao Bai?"
Xiao Mo coughed in embarrassment. "How can I forget Xiao Bai? Oh, no, we're clean. I mean...we are just friends... "
Saying this, he suddenly realized he made a mistake and cast an aggrieved glance at Yun Luofeng.
"Master, this girl is quite special. Don't you smell the faint fragrance her body gives off? A human being wouldn't have such a body odor. She is probably a spirit fruit or something..."
Yun Luofeng was stunned and quieted down. Her fingers pressed tightly against the cup and she asked, "What do you mean?"
"Master, Little Tree is a tree, but it can turn into a human shape, so I suspect that Arale is a humanoid fruit! It is said that after taking a humanoid fruit, your spirit energy will be increased a lot!"
Yun Luofeng's fingers froze and a smile rose from the corners of her lips. "Xiao Mo, are you trying to trap me again?"
Xiao Mo said with a low voice, "Master, do you think I'm that kind of person? You're the last person in the world whom I'll trap!"
"Yeah, but you've trapped me more than once! You told me Xiao Bai had a special constitution, so I took her as my disciple. And then you told me her constitution would bring me trouble, or even danger..."
.
.

Chapter 1185:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (1)
Because she had taken Xiao Bai as disciple, she had to be responsible for her. But if Xiao Bai and she were just strangers, would she try so hard to save her?
The answer was no!
But now, no matter what kind of danger Xiao Bai faced, she would keep her safe even at the expense of her own life!
Xiao Mo decided to tell her the truth. "Okay, Master, let me tell you the truth. Arale is only six years old now and she isn't aware of her own identity. The strong masters of the continent haven't noticed her, but in two years, her body odor will increase and then she will be pursued by these strong masters."
Yun Luofeng took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "So you want me to be hunted down with her?"
"Master, no, you misunderstood me," Xiao Mo said with an aggrieved look. "It's good for you. Don't you want to own such a magnificent creature?"
Listening to his tempting words, Yun Luofeng spat out the answer without even thinking about it.
"No!"
"Master..." Xiao Mo was speechless. "In fact, I sympathize with Arale. As a humanoid fruit, she can only live to ten years old even if she isn't pursued by strong masters, unless... unless she becomes a sage-level spirit cultivator by the age of ten! Of course, she can't do it on her own, unless you help her."
Yun Luofeng stood up and said lazily, "I'm going to sleep."
Seeing that Yun Luofeng was going to turn around and walk to her bed, he became anxious. "Master, don't you want to heal your arm? Besides the holy water of the Saintly Virgin Tribe, there is also something that can be used as a kind of medicine to heal your right arm. I didn't tell you before because this medicine was too difficult to get."
Sure enough, Yun Luofeng paused and listened to him, with her back to him.
"That is the juice from a humanoid fruit!"
Yun Luofeng looked back at Xiao Mo, "Juice?"
"Yes," Xiao Mo nodded, "the juice is Arale's tears."
Yun Luofeng's fingers stroked her chin and her eyes flickered, "Aren't you trying to trick me again?"
Xiao Mo turned black. Why didn't Master believe him though he was telling the truth? Was he so unreliable in her mind?
"Master, I promise I'm not hiding anything from you this time."
Yun Luofeng glanced at Xiao Mo. "Let's see. If Arale's enemies are more troublesome than the Saintly Virgin Tribe, I'd rather go to the Saintly Virgin Tribe for the holy water..."
Xiao Mo lowered his head and sighed. Yes, this seemed to be the best choice...
...
Three days later.
On the academy's square, countless people were whispering and talking curiously.
"Cough!"
A dry cough rang and made the whole square quiet for a moment.
"This time, your test mission is to spend seven days in the God Burial Mountain, and if you leave the mountain safely after seven days, you will be admitted to the academy. Otherwise you will be expelled. Of course, you don't have to worry about safety. If there is any danger, someone will come and save you."
Hearing the old man's words, the crowd was in an uproar.
It was said that the God Burial Mountain was so dangerous that even god would be buried there. Especially the top of the mountain. Even the elders of the academy might not dare to go there.
Fortunately, the academy just asked them to stay in the mountains for seven days, not to finish some tasks there. All they had to do was to find a safe place to stay for seven days.
.

Chapter 1186:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (2)
"If you're ready, we'll set off now," the old man said in a cold voice, his gaze sweeping across the crowd.
Soon the rowdy crowd quieted down again, waiting for the old man to take them to God Burial Mountain...
...
God Burial Mountain.
God Burial Mountain was nine levels high. On each level higher there were more spiritual beasts and traps. Generally speaking, the spirit cultivators below sage level only dared to wander on the three lowest layers. If they accidentally stepped into the fourth layer, they would probably die without a complete corpse.
At this moment, a group of people was marching towards God Burial Mountain. When they reached the foot of the mountain, they stopped.
The group was led by an old man who, after stopping, turned back and said, "God Burial Mountain is here, and I wish you good luck! Well, now you can go to God Burial Mountain and I'll pick you up in seven days."
With this, the old man walked slowly away with his hands on his back.
"Miss Yun."
An Zihao spotted Yun Luofeng who was standing in the crowd, came towards her after hesitating for a while and said with embarrassment, rubbing his head, "God Burial Mountain is very dangerous. Can I stay with you?"
He hoped to pass the test with the help of Yun Luofeng. Of course, if he were alone, he wouldn't have had the gall to beg Yun Luofeng for her help. But now Miss was staying with him, so he had to keep her safe.
He would do anything for her.
Yun Luofeng glanced at him and strode towards the mountain, without answering him.
"What does she mean?" An Zihao looked at her receding figure in astonishment, wondering what she meant, "She neither refused us or agreed. What does she mean?"
The little girl blinked, her cute little face shining under the sunshine. Her eyes were fixed on Yun Luofeng's receding figure and she said in a childish voice, "Maybe she agreed to allow us to follow her since she didn't say no."
Quite glad to hear this, An Zihao patted his chest and promised, "Miss, don't worry. I will make her accept us. If we have her protect us, we won't be afraid of that woman."
The little girl sighed. Yun Luofeng didn't refuse them, nor did she accept them. It wouldn't be easy to get her protection...
But she didn't want to disappoint An Zihao, so she could only choke her words back.
...
With fine scenery, the God Burial Mountain was rich in spiritual energy. Yun Luofeng had scarcely arrived at the God Burial Mountain when she heard a loud clamor in front of her.
A scholar-like young man was knocked to the ground, his hair set loose and his handsome, fair-skinned face full of anger. He glared at those people who were bullying him and firmly held the medicinal herb in his hand.
A young man reached out his hand to the scholar who was lying on the ground and arrogantly said, "Jing Jiang, give me the medicinal herb in your hand!"
The scholar grasped the medicinal herb tightly in his hand. "No, I have to use this medicinal herb to save a person important to me. I can't give it to you. Besides, I found it first, so why should I give it to you?"
"If you don't give me the medicinal herb now, your death will be swift!"
.
.

Chapter 1187:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (3)
The young man's eyes darkened, a ferocious gleam flashed through his eyes, and a grim smile appeared on his face.
Boom!
Just as he was going to kill the scholar, a red light suddenly appeared in the sky. It was a gorgeous girl who was about six or seven years old, with eight tails sticking out behind her, her eyes bloodshot and flames rising high from her body.
"Huohuo?"
Yun Luofeng frowned, looked at Huohuo who had just run out from the Medical God Code Space, and a light flickered across her eyes...
Her eyes turned to the scholar who was lying on the ground. If she was right, Huohuo flew into a rage after seeing the scholar being bullied. Was the scholar an acquaintance of hers? Otherwise, from what she knew of Huohuo, she wouldn't be angry for no reason...
"Go to hell, all of you!"
The flames spread, painting the whole sky a crimson red. The little girl stood in the sky and looked down at the crowd on the ground. Before they could scream, they had been burned to ashes by the flames that Huohuo released.
On the mountain road, except for Yun Luofeng and her friends, there was only the scholar left.
The scholar rose from the ground, made an obeisance and said gratefully, "Thank you for saving me, little girl."
Huohuo's eyes stared at him without blinking. "Why did you become like this?"
"..."
The scholar was stunned for a moment and looked at Huohuo with doubt, wondering what she meant.
"Girl, did you mistake me for someone else? I don't think we ever met before and I hardly know you."
Huohuo shuddered and stepped back.
At this time, Yun Luofeng walked up to her and hugged her shoulders gently. She could clearly feel that Huohuo's shoulders were trembling and her delicate little face was ghastly white.
"How could you forget me? You asked me to stay in the Ye Family for recuperation and you said you would protect me. Then you left the Ye Family to deal with something urgent and asked your disciple to take care of me. But you never came back. I waited for you in the Ye Family for so many years. How could you just forget me?"
The Ye Family?
Yun Luofeng's eyes darkened. So this scholar was the reincarnation of the Ye Family ancestor and the man... Huohuo liked?
"Little girl, I really don't know what you're talking about. What Ye Family? My name is Jing Jiang and I have never heard of the Ye Family you just mentioned." The scholar's eyes were filled with doubts, and he felt she was strange.
Was this girl mad? Why did she keep saying something strange to him?
Huohuo shook her head desperately, "You have his smell on you. You must be him! But you are very unlike him."
Suddenly, a gentle and elegant man appeared in her mind. The man stood on the peak of the mountain, guiding the world. With a single wave, he could overturn the sky and the earth, and dim the sun and the moon. He was so powerful the whole world would tremble at his feet.
However, the man in front of her was so weak. How could he be the one who she hid in her heart for a thousand years?
"My fiancée is very ill, little girl. I have to go back to save her. I'll thank you another day."
Fiancée?
Huohuo tightly bit her lips, her face pale, and she raised her big bright eyes which looked heartbreaking.
.
.

Chapter 1188:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (4)
"You left me behind in the Ye Family, telling me that you would come back and marry me after I recovered, but in the end, I couldn't even find your smell..."
His smell was gone, which meant he was dead and about to be reincarnated. It didn't occur to her that when she sensed his smell again, he would already have a fiancée...
How ridiculous this was!
He just forgot her and even thought that she was insane.
"Are you kidding me, little girl?" Jing Jiang sneered, "I'm not a pedophile. I would never love a little girl as young as you. Besides, I really don't know you or the Ye Family you talked about. I have to go now and I'll thank you another day."
With that, the scholar made an obeisance again and left without looking back.
When his figure disappeared, Huohuo couldn't help but lean against Yun Luofeng's chest. Tears fell down silently.
"Master... he promised me he would come back to me, but now he has forgotten me and has a fiancée. What should I do?" Huohuo tightly clutched Yun Luofeng's clothes, her face shockingly pale.
Yun Luofeng squinted. "Huohuo, are you sure he's the Ye Family ancestor?"
She doubted it. How could a person as powerful as the Ye Family ancestor be bullied by a group of hooligans?
Huohuo nodded with certainty, "He has Ah Ye's smell in him. It must be him. This can't be wrong! Master, what should I do now? He has completely forgotten me..."
In her life, she had been waiting for two persons.
One was Yun Luofeng, and the other was the Ye Family ancestor.
She had found Yun Luofeng, but the Ye Family ancestor had forgotten her...
"Huohuo, let's confirm that he really is the Ye Family ancestor first."
The girl reached out her hands and hugged Huohuo. She stroked her hair and tried to comfort her.
"Master," Huohuo wiped the tears from her eyes, "I'm sorry. I couldn't control myself and just ran out of the Medical God Code Space when I saw him being bullied. Sorry to cause you trouble."
"Huohuo," Yun Luofeng said, looking down at Huohuo with a serious expression, "To me, it isn't a trouble! If he's really the Ye Family ancestor, I would save him anyways even if you didn't do anything! So, I won't blame you for this. Don't worry."
"But... the academy has people tracking you. Once I showed up, my identity is exposed."
Huohuo looked carefully at Yun Luofeng. She failed to control herself just now, and now she realized that she had made a great mistake.
Yun Luofeng squinted, "The people who came to God Burial Mountain are all my teachers' students, and I'll explain it to them. You don't have to worry about this."
Huohuo nodded, and then... turned her bloodshot eyes to An Zihao.
Being stared at by Houhuo, An Zihao shuddered and hurriedly promised, "Don't worry. I didn't see anything and I won't say anything."
The little girl also nodded, "I didn't see anything either."
"Humph!" Huohuo snorted, "If I find out that you have leaked anything about this, you will end up like those people who were burned to ashes by me just now!"
.
.

Chapter 1189:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (5)
With these words, she released a powerful aura that shook heaven and earth and made people gasp for breath.
Just as An Zihao and the little girl were about to collapse, Huohuo finally withdrew her aura. She turned into a red light and disappeared into the Medical God Code Space...
What happened today had been such a blow to her that she needed to calm down.
...
"It's you!
Suddenly, a cocky voice came from the side.
An Zihao shivered with fear after hearing the sound. The little girl hid behind him with a timid look.
Yun Luofeng frowned and looked at the source of the voice only to see a well-dressed young man swaggering up to them, escorted by a crowd. Keeping his chin up, he haughtily walked up to them.
"What... what are you trying to do again?"
Pointing to the young man, An Zihao shouted, "I warn you to stay away from us, or else... "
"Or else what?" The young man laughed sarcastically. "You destroyed my medicinal herb and ran away! Are you surprised that we met again here?"
An Zihao bit his lips. "It wasn't your medicinal herb! It grew in the mountains and you didn't even pick it. I accidentally stepped on it! Besides, you discovered it after I trampled it. When did it become yours?"
That day, he and Miss passed a forest when they were on the run, and he accidentally trampled a medicinal herb in the forest. Then the arrogant young man jumped out. He insisted that it was his medicinal herb, and An Zihao had to compensate him.
If An Zihao hadn't been familiar with the forest and escaped with the help of traps, he and Miss wouldn't have been able to make it safely to the Western Province Academy.
"I don't care. All I know is that I wanted to pick that medicinal herb but you destroyed it, so you have to compensate me!" The young man sneered and glanced at the little girl hiding behind An Zihao and Yun Luofeng, a greedy gleam in his eyes, "But the two belles are not bad. Give them to me and I'll let you go."
An Zihao almost hit the young man in the face with a blow of anger and he angrily snapped, "In your dreams!"
"Haha!"
The young man laughed, "How dare you speak to me like this? Don't you know who my uncle is? Let me tell you, my uncle is a teacher of the academy, and you must obey me if you want to stay here!"
He licked his lips and stared lasciviously at Yun Luofeng.
"Beauty, you won't have any future if you follow this guy! Why don't you just follow me? I'll grant you a good life! My uncle is a teacher of the academy and has a lot of power in it. As long as you follow me, I promise no one would dare to bully you."
With that, he reached out his hand to touch Yun Luofeng's face...
An Zihao hurried to cover the little girl's eyes with his hand. "Don't look."
It was going to be bloody and adults-only.
Crack!
A cracking sound and then a shrill scream resounded throughout the sky.
The young man held his hand whose bones were broken by Yun Luofeng, breaking into a cold sweat, and his face turned pale with pain.
"Bitch, how dare you attack me?!"
.

Chapter 1190:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (6)
"Go away!"
The girl moved her red lips and her domineering voice reverberated in the mountain for a long time.
A middle-aged man, who had been napping on a tree, was suddenly awakened by this sound. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked curiously at Yun Luofeng.
The elders sent him to protect Yun Luofeng, but...
What was happening now? Wasn't that Wang Mujing, Wang Yizhi's nephew? Why did he quarrel with Yun Luofeng?
"You... you just wait!"
Wang Mujing gnashed his teeth, glared hard at Yun Luofeng and ran away, fearing that the white-clad girl would attack him again if he stayed for a little longer!
He had his uncle to back him up. We'll see!
...
Seven days soon passed, and within the seven days a lot of people had left the God Burial Mountain and failed the test. Of course, some people just found a place to hide for seven days.
At the moment, in the Elders' Office of the Western Province Academy, hearing the report of the middle-aged man, the elders looked at each other in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock.
"You mean Feng'er has a humanoid spirit beast?" Xu Kong asked, his eyes solemn.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, that's what I saw. That spirit beast is an eight-tailed fiery fox and is quite powerful."
The old man, who had been silent, changed his expression upon hearing it. "If Feng'er has a humanoid spirit beast, then we don't need to worry about her safety."
Xue Ying gave a faint smile, "Yes, but we must keep it secret. Otherwise, if those powers of the Western Province hear about it, they might try to snatch this spirit beast from her!"
"Yes, Xue Ying is right," Xu Wu nodded, "For the safety of our baby disciple, we must not leak it. Besides that, other than a humanoid spirit beast, was there anything else that happened to Feng'er?"
The middle-aged man blushed and touched the back of his head in embarrassment. "That eight-tailed fox appeared to be disappointed in a love affair and Miss Yun was trying to comfort her. I felt bored, so I took a nap. When I woke up, I saw Miss Yun and Wang Mujing quarreling."
"Wang Mujing? Who is that?"
Ling Hai frowned. With his current status, he certainly wouldn't remember the name of a negligible student.
The middle-aged man wiped the cold sweat from his lower forehead, "Wang Mujing is Wang Yizhi's nephew."
"Wang Yizhi, who is that again?" Ling Hai frowned again.
The middle-aged man sweated more and more, "Elder, Wang Yizhi is a teacher of the academy."
"A teacher of the academy?" Ling Hai sneered, "How dare a teacher's nephew be so presumptuous as to bully my disciple? I cherish her like my eyes and I'll never allow those bastards to bully her!"
Among the elders of the academy, Ling Hai was the most irascible. If he really got angry, no one could stop him.
"Elder, I didn't see the whole process, so I don't know whether Miss Yun was bullied or not," the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth twitched, "but when Wang Mujing left, I found that his hand seems to have been broken."
However, Yun Luofeng was unscathed.
Ling Hai gave him a black look, "Do you mean my disciple bullied him? She is such a good girl, how could she bully anyone? I think Wang Mujing must have done something wrong to irritate her!"

Chapter 1191:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (7)
In Ling Hai's eyes, Yun Luofeng was a good girl. How could she bully others? It must be Wang Mujing's fault. He must have offended Yun Luofeng, so her spirit beast broke his hand!
It never occurred to Ling Hai that his hand was broken by Yun Luofeng... because Yun Luofeng didn't show any cultivation level in the test a few days ago, which meant that she hadn't started cultivation yet.
Sweating all over, the middle-aged man secretly felt sorry for Wang Mujing. He'd better be sensible and not provoke Yun Luofeng anymore. Otherwise, he and his uncle would not be able to cope with the anger of these elders...
...
After the middle-aged man left, Yun Luofeng, in a snow-white robe, walked into the Elders' Office.
Seeing the angry old men, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What happened? Who has offended you?"
Her words brought Ling Hai back, and a smile appeared on his angry face when he saw Yun Luofeng walking into the room.
Xu Kong and others looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Over the years, unlike them who had taken many disciples, Ling Hai didn't take any talent seriously. Yun Luofeng was the only disciple he had accepted. How could he not shield her?
"It's alright." Ling Hai answered her with a smile and walked up to Yun Luofeng, his eyes shining with satisfaction. "It seems that you've passed the test. From now on, you are a student of the Western Province Academy."
Seeing that none of them asked about Huohuo, Yun Luofeng didn't mention it either. She nodded, "I'm here to ask for some time off."
"Why?" Ling Hai cast a doubtful glance at Yun Luofeng, "You're just been admitted into the Western Province Academy and you want to take some time off?"
"Yes, I have something urgent to attend to. I'll be back in a month at the latest."
Huohuo was in low spirits. If she didn't undo the knot in her mind, she might... never be able to walk out of the shadow.
"Okay," sighed Ling Hai, a little despondent, "is there anything I can do for you? Do you need some guards to protect you?"
"No," Yun Luofeng smiled and shook her head, "I can handle this on my own. My teachers, take care."
She made an obeisance and turned to walk out.
Gazing at her figure, Ling Hai didn't withdraw his gaze until her figure completely disappeared.
"She has an eight-tailed fiery fox. No one can hurt her. Don't worry." Xu Kong walked up to Ling Hai and patted him on the shoulder, trying to comfort him.
Ling Hai could only nod his head, even though he was still worried about her.
"I hope so... "
...
The sun was setting.
The afterglow of sunset clouded the gate of the academy that gave off a golden, brilliant light.
Yun Luofeng spotted An Zihao waiting at the door as soon as she walked out of the academy. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you found any information about the man I asked to check out?"
An Zihao hurriedly nodded, "Yes. The man called Jing Jiang is the Young Master of Jing City. Unfortunately, he is really weak, so he is always bullied! But... it was true that Jing Jiang went to God Burial Mountain to find the God Burial Flower to save his fiancée."
After saying this, An Zihao carefully glanced at Yun Luofeng with some trepidation.
.
.
.
Chapter 1192:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (8)
He could tell that the little girl in red was deeply in love with Jing Jiang, but he already had a fiancée, so she was doomed to be disappointed.
"Thank you for doing this for me, and I'll pay you back later." Saying this, Yun Luofeng was going to leave.
An Zihao paused and quickly asked, "Can Miss and I follow you?"
Yun Luofeng stopped and shook her head. "It's more dangerous for you to follow me."
She didn't know how many enemies she would encounter on this continent, so she wouldn't take An Zihao and Arale with her.
"Besides..." she continued after a pause, "can you ask for leave?"
An Zihao lowered his head in frustration, wondering.
Looking back at him, Yun Luofeng gave him a comforting grin. "Don't worry. While you are in this academy no one will hurt you. But if you follow me, you might even lose your lives."
After saying this, she turned back and walked away without looking back. Her figure soon disappeared from the street...
...
Jing City.
It was not far from the West Province Academy, and it only took half a day to get there.
At this moment, at the gate of the Jing City, a girl in white stopped her steps. She stroked her chin and gazed at the ancient gate with narrowed eyes.
Swoosh!
A flame shot out of her body and turned into a cute little girl, who landed by her side. She looked so nervous that she didn't know where to put her hands.
Holding her little hand, Yun Luofeng asked, "Huohuo, will you regret coming to visit him when you see him?"
Huohuo shook her head, her face resolute, "Master, after the Medical God Code threw me out, I was chased by a group of people and seriously injured. At that time, he showed up and saved me. Now he is in trouble, and I should help him no matter whether because of reason or emotion."
A touch of bitterness appeared on Huohuo's face, yet she looked a little bit relieved.
"After I help him solve his troubles, we'll... be even!"
We'll be even!
Yun Luofeng's heart was shaken by the words coming from Huohuo's mouth.
"Huohuo, since he has forgotten you, you should try to forget him."
"Yes," Huohuo said seriously," I'll forget him after I help him fix his troubles. I won't allow myself to think of him again for the rest of my life."
No one knew that when Huohuo said this, her heart was bleeding. The beautiful pictures of their good old days kept flashing in her mind, and she was about to burst into tears. However, she held the tears back because she didn't want Yun Luofeng to worry about her.
...
The City Master Estate.
At the gate, Yun Luofeng was stopped by two guards.
"No unauthorized personnel shall enter the City Master Estate."
Huohuo raised her delicate little face, her big, glistening eyes staring at the guards.
"I came here to visit Jing Jiang!"
The two guards looked at each other with a shadow of doubt in their eyes.
Thinking for quite a while, a guard replied, "Young Master isn't in the estate right now, but I can report to Miss Xiao."
Miss Xiao?
Before Huohuo figured out who this Miss Xiao was, a guard had walked in to report. After a while, he came out and respectfully beckoned them in.
"Miss Xiao will let you enter."
Huohuo tried to keep calm before slowly stepping into the courtyard.
.

Chapter 1193:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (9)
The courtyard was quite spacious.
A woman was sitting in a pavilion. She was in a beautiful cyan robe and with a purple belt around her slender waist and was as beautiful as a celestial being.
Noticing Yun Luofeng and Huohuo walking in, she looked up at them. The moment she saw Huohuo, a ray of light flashed through her eyes and the smile on her face widened.
But... with a pale face and whitened lips, she looked ill.
However, as soon as Huohuo saw her face, she jumped up and shouted, gnashing her teeth, "Xiao Ru! It is you! I never expected that it was you!"
"Huohuo, do you know her?" Yun Luofeng asked, lowering her eyes.
Huohuo was trembling with anger. "Ah Ye saved me and founded the Ye Family as my shelter! This woman was one of his disciples who he took after founding the Ye Family! But she was then driven out by Ah Ye because she wanted to seduce him. Why is she here?"
If her heart was broken by the fact that Jing Jiang forgot her, then Xiao Ru's presence made her heart filled with despair!
How could this be?
Ah Ye didn't like her at all. Why did he choose to be with Xiao Ru after forgetting her?
Xiao Ru smirked and walked forward. Her pace was brisk, and her purple belt was fluttering in the wind. No one could deny she was a beautiful woman.
"Huohuo, it's been a long time."
Huohuo's pupils constricted. "Do you know me? No, it's impossible. You're just a human being. You can't live for so many years. How can you still remember me?"
Xiao Ru smiled, "Luckily, I learned the skill of spirit possession. Every time I get old, I will commit suicide and find a beautiful young woman to possess! And as time goes by, the woman I possess will gradually look like me! Huohuo, you took Master's heart. For you, he even gave a ridiculous order to the Ye Family's descendants that the whole Ye Family should serve you forever!"
"But now, I'm his fiancée. Though he is not as powerful as he used to be, I don't care. I love him as a person, not for his power! I just want to be his wife, no matter how weak he is now." A smile appeared on Xiao Ru's pale face. "I believe he is just weak for now and he will be strong again. So I wounded myself and forced him to go to the God Burial Mountain to find me the God Burial Flower."
Huohuo's eyes were burning with anger, "Did you ever think that with his present strength, he might die if he took such a risk?"
"So what? If he dies, I'll continue to look for his next incarnation." Xiao Ru smiled, "Huohuo, as you can see, Master treats me so well now and he is even willing to risk his life for me. You know what, I spent one thousand years to find his reincarnation!"
Huohuo's body was shaking more and more violently. She had already made up her mind to respect Ah Ye's decision and give him and his fiancée her sincere wishes. But she never expected that the one who had stolen Ah Ye's heart from her was this woman!
Suddenly, Xiao Ru, who was all smiles, suddenly changed her expression and began to sob. She covered her face with her hands and her eyes were full of grief.
"Ru'er, what's wrong?"
At first, Huohuo didn't understand why Xiao Ru suddenly acted like this, but then a familiar voice came from behind.
Jing Jiang quickly walked up to Xiao Ru with a nervous look. Looking anxiously at Xiao Ru who was sobbing, he didn't know what to do.
.

Chapter 1194:- Huohuo's Acquaintance (10)
Huohuo's face turned stiff. She clenched her hands on both sides of her body and stared at Jing Jiang who looked so worried about Xiao Ru. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe.
"Brother Jing," Xiao Ru sadly leaned against Jing Jiang's chest, "Did I put you in danger? Just now the girl blamed me for the fact that you almost died on God Burial Mountain because I asked you to find me the God Burial Flower there. I knew that God Burial Mountain was very dangerous and if you were unlucky, you might not be able to come back alive... "
Hearing this, Jing Jiang became furious. He turned to Yun Luofeng and angrily said, "Miss, thank you for saving me. But it doesn't mean you can hurl abuses at my fiancée! I'm even willing to jump into a frying pan for Ru'er, let alone to go to God Burial Mountain to find her a medicinal herb! What makes you think you can blame my fiancée?"
"Brother Jing, it doesn't matter," Xiao Ru plucked at Jing Jiang's arm, "I know I was wrong. I'll never ask you to take risks for me. After all, I just want you to stay by my side. It's my fault. I've asked too much of you. "
Jing Jiang's heart ached and he carefully wiped off Xiao Ru's tears, "Ru'er, what are you talking about? I am a good-for-nothing person, and it has been a blessing for me to have a gentle and beautiful girl like you as my fiancée."
Tears flew down from Xiao Ru face, and she lowered her head to conceal the triumphant smile over her lips.
Huohuo, in our previous life, Master didn't hesitate to fight against the entire world just to keep you safe.
However, in this life, his heart belongs to me...
"Why are you still here?" Jing Jiang looked up at Yun Luofeng and Huohuo and shouted angrily, "Get out of here! Don't disturb my fiancée anymore!"
"Brother Jing," Xiao Ru raised her head piteously, "don't blame them. They're doing this for your own good. Even though this little girl asked me to leave you, she didn't mean to hurt you."
"What?" Jing Jiang flew into a rage. At this moment, he looked like a different person from the one they met on God Burial Mountain, his eyes filled with resentment, and he glared at Huohuo as if looking at an enemy, "Little girl, I told you before. I will never be interested in a child like you! How dare you come to the Jing City and try to sabotage the relationship of my fiancée and me? It's for my own good to ask my fiancée to leave me? If you really want to do me good, never ever appear before me for the rest of my life!"
Huohuo raised her head and stared at Jing Jiang with her big glistening eyes.
"Do you really... believe everything she says?"
"Of course! She is my fiancée. Who are you?" Jing Jiang sneered, "Our love is predestined. Ru'er told me that we were lovers a thousand years ago and she spent a thousand years to find me. Tell me, would you let down a person who loves you that much? "
They were lovers a thousand years ago?
Huohuo laughed and looked at Xiao Ru sarcastically.
How could she have the nerve to tell Ah Ye this?
And Ah Ye believed it?
"Huohuo," Yun Luofeng patted Huohuo gently on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "stand aside."
Huohuo paused, but she would never disobey Yun Luofeng's orders, so she backed off a few steps.
Yun Luofeng walked lightly to Xiao Ru.
"What are you trying to do?"
Jing Jiang's face greatly changed. Just as he was going to stop Yun Luofeng, a gust of wind shot from her sleeve and slammed him away.

Chapter 1195:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (1)
Bang!
Yun Luofeng gave Xiao Ru a sharp kick, kicking her out of the pavilion. Her body rolled and fell into the nearby lotus pool with a splash.
"This one is for you making Huohuo sad!"
When Xiao Ru struggled to climb out of the lotus pool, Yun Luofeng came to her, pulled her out of the pool and kicked her in the chest again.
"This one is for you framing Huohuo!"
The girl flicked her sleeve and cast a domineering glance at Jing Jiang who was standing in amazement, her voice arrogant and full of killing intent.
"As long as I am here, no one is allowed to bully her!"
"You..." Jing Jiang turned purple with anger. Pointing at Yun Luofeng with trembling fingers, he was going to shout abuse. However, before he could utter his words, he was interrupted by the cold voice of the girl.
"I don't think you're the one in Huohuo's heart, because Huohuo... wouldn't like a man who doesn't know right from wrong!"
Saying this, Yun Luofeng turned around, walked up to Huohuo and gazed at her.
"You came here to help him to repay his kindness, but he doesn't need your help!" Yun Luofeng paused and continued, "Besides, you saved him on God Burial Mountain. You don't owe him anything. Let's go."
Huohuo nodded and followed Yun Luofeng. Maybe because she was really hurt, she didn't even look at Jing Jiang before she left.
"Ru'er."
Jing Jiang rushed to Xiao Ru and supported her, his face filled with nervousness and worry.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Ru's heart was filled with anger.
In the past, to protect Huohuo, Master had taken all kinds of risks. And in the end, he still managed to survive the hunting of so many strong masters! He said that he would spend his entire life to protect Huohuo! He took pains to achieve breakthroughs and improve his strength, just to keep Huohuo safe.
Why did he become so weak when he was trying to protecting her?
"I'm fine." Xiao Ru stood up, and a restless and angry light flickered across her lowered eyes.
Did she really like the present Jing Jiang? No, she always believed that one day Jing Jiang would change back into that powerful master from a thousand years ago! But now she couldn't help but doubt if she was wrong...
He was not that powerful Ye Family ancestor!
"Ru'er..." Jing Jiang looked at Xiao Ru nervously, "are you really alright?"
Xiao Ru shook her head and said wearily, "I'm a little tired. I want to have a rest."
"Ru'er!" Seeing that Xiao Ru was reluctant to talk to him, Jing Jiang becomes more and more anxious, "I'm sorry. I was so useless and couldn't protect you..."
Xiao Ru stopped her step, and a sarcastic smile appeared over her lips.
"Brother Jing, I am a woman and I hope my man can protect me, but you looked so indifferent when someone was bullying me. I'm really disappointed!"
Jing Jiang wasn't indifferent. He was just too scared. Yun Luofeng moved so fast that he didn't even have the time to react.
"What should I do to make you forgive me?"
"Very simple. I want you to subdue the other families in the Jing City and annex the other cities with your own strength in the coming days. I want you to become strong. Can you do it?" Xiao Ru turned to Jiang Jing, her eyes glistening with tears, "After all, I don't want to be bullied anymore! Only when you become strong can you protect me."

Chapter 1196:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (2)
Jing Jiang nodded seriously, his eyes resolute. "Okay, I'm going to those families now. If they don't agree to yield to me, I will fight them to the death!" Saying this, Jing Jiang took a final look at Xiao Ru and walked out of the courtyard, his eyes determined.
Xiao Ru gazed at his receding figure and smiled. "Without some stimulation, his potential will never be achieved. If he wants to subdue those families with his present strength, he has to risk his life, and only then will his potential be brought out into full play."
In Jing City, the City Master was no longer as respected as he used to be, especially after people found out that Jing Jiang, his son, was so weak. So she asked Jing Jiang to subdue those families and show her his ability.
"Don't blame me for being cruel to you, Master. I really miss the past you who stood high on the top of the world."
Xiao Ru's eyes shone with a maniacal fervor. If Jing Jiang successfully restored his former strength this time, she would certainly stay by his side for the rest of her life.
Otherwise...
She didn't mind killing him herself and giving him a chance to start over again!
...
Outside the City Master Estate.
Huohuo released Yun Luofeng's hand, her big bright eyes filled with grief.
"Master, let's go back."
"You don't want to stay here anymore?" Yun Luofeng smiled and looked into her eyes.
Huohuo bit her lips, "He's forgotten me. What's the point of me staying here? Master, is it so easy to forget a person you met in your previous life?"
Yun Luofeng pondered for a while before raising her head and staring at the blue sky with her deep black eyes, "If there is really an afterlife, I will still recognize Yun Xiao at the first glance."
Among the boundless huge crowd, only he would give her a special feeling, so she could recognize him at a single glance.
Huohuo lowered her head and kept silent.
Suddenly a figure rushed out of the City Master Estate and ran down the street.
Huohuo was stunned, "Ah Ye, what is he going to do?"
"Are you worried about him?" Yun Luofeng glanced at Huohuo and smiled. "If you're really worried about him, we can follow him."
Huohuo's heart suddenly quivered. She wanted to turn around and leave, but Jing Jiang didn't look right and she was really worried about him.
"Master, I... want to have a look."
How could she just throw away the love that had lasted for a thousand years? Had it not been for Ah Ye, she could not have seen Master alive again.
"Let's go."
Yun Luofeng shook her head helplessly. Even though Huohuo promised to forget him, it wasn't so easy for her.
...
The Ling Family.
Two guards were guarding the gate. Seeing the aggressive Jing Jiang, they were stunned.
"Young Master, our Master is having tea with guests. Please let me report to him before you go in."
Jing Jiang snorted coldly and tried to intrude into the estate, ignoring the guards' words.
The guards quickly stopped him, "Young Master, our Master is busy. Please allow us to report."
"Get out of my way!"
Jing Jiang shouted angrily and tried to break in. At that moment, the Master of the Ling Family, who was receiving guests in the hall, heard the noise at the gate. With a deep frown, he said to the guest beside him, "Sorry, I'll be back soon."
Then he quickly walked out of the hall only to see Jing Jiang who was trying to intrude, and a cold gleam flashed through his eyes.
.

Chapter 1197:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (3)
"Young Master, may I ask why you broke into my house?"
Jing Jiang paused. Staring at the Master of the Ling Family, he came straight to the point, "I want your Ling Family to pledge allegiance to me."
Master Ling was stunned for a moment and then laughed.
"Did I hear that right? You want me to pledge allegiance to you? Hahaha, Young Master, we're being polite to you for the sake of the City Master. Otherwise, you don't deserve to be treated differently by us!"
Jing Jiang looked angry, "I don't care. You have to pledge allegiance to me today! Only if you do will Ru'er marry me!"
Master Ling sneered, "It's said that Young Master was bewitched by a coquette and even risked your life to go to God Burial Mountain for her. Now it seems that it's true! You would mess with our Ling Family just for a woman? Have you ever thought about your own abilities?"
"I won't allow you to speak ill of Ru'er! She is the best woman in the world. None of you understand her!" Jing Jiang became furious. He would never allow anyone to insult Xiao Ru.
"Ru'er is willing to marry me despite the fact that I am weak. Though she can find a better man with her appearance and ability, she chose me. For her, I'm even willing to jump into hell let alone subdue your Ling Family!"
Master Ling said coldly, "I don't think you can subdue us. This time, you provoked us first. Even the City Master will not be able to blame us when he comes back! Guards, give this guy a good beating!"
"Yes, Master!"
A number of figures suddenly appeared in the Ling Family's courtyard from nowhere. These people rushed to Jing Jiang, and they hit him hard with their fists.
Jing Jiang felt that his body was like being hit by many hammers at the same time, and the pain was simply unbearable. However, when Xiao Ru's anticipating face popped up in his mind, he endured it.
For Ru'er, he couldn't give up!
Bang!
Bang bang bang!
These people were kicking and punching Jing Jiang hard. Jing Jiang protected his vital parts with his hands and clenched his teeth in silence.
"Master." Huohuo's face changed when she realized that Jing Jiang was going to be beaten to death by them.
Yun Luofeng stopped her as she tried to go forward. "Are you really going to do this? Even if you save him, he won't appreciate it and may even blame you for meddling in his affairs."
Huohuo paused and shook her head with a bitter smile. "Master, I can't sit and watch him die because I can't forget the days when we were together. Even if he doesn't appreciate it, or even blames me for disturbing him, I just don't want him to die. That's all."
With that, she raised her resolute little face and strode into the house.
"Stop it!"
A girl's voice rang in the courtyard, which made the people all stop and look at Huohuo in surprise.
"It's you again!" Jing Jiang shouted angrily, "I don't need you to meddle in my affairs. Go away!"
Huohuo didn't speak. Her big bright eyes gazed at Master Ling. "Can you let him go?"
A special light flashed through Master Ling's eyes, and he smiled. "Let him go? Yes, I can, but there is a condition."
"What is the condition?
"I want you to be my son's child bride."
Tut, such an adorable girl was really rare to see. My son is only 10 years old but likes flirting with maids. If I give this girl to him as a gift, he will certainly be very happy.
.
.
.
Chapter 1198:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (4)
Huohuo smiled. Her smile was brilliant and adorable, but an eerie coolness covered her eyes.
"Do you know why I asked you politely? Because the one at fault is Jing Jiang. I didn't want to deal with you, and just wanted you to release him, but... you want to make me your son's child bride? It will depend on whether your son has the life to enjoy it!"
Huohuo's features were domineering as she looked down on Family Head Ling with her chin slightly tilted up.
Family Head Ling was startled. This little girl was merely seven or eight, why were her words so unlike other girls of the same age?
"Release him this instant! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!" Huohuo harshly shouted.
"Hehe." Family Head Ling recovered his wits and snorted. "I would like to see how a little girl will be merciless to me."
Bang!
As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed past, and Huohuo's fist heavily landed on his chest. Before he could react, his body suddenly shot through the air and forcefully slammed against a pillar.
"Family Head!" Everyone ran to his side and hastily helped him up from the floor.
Family Head Ling wiped the blood from his mouth. His eyes darkened as he coldly declared, "You darn girl, you dare to hit me?! I will show you! Guards, seize this girl!"
Bang!
In an instant, rage rushed through Huohuo and a bright red flame floated around her, imposing and ostentatious.
The Ling Family guards did not dare to approach and only hid far, far away, using the swords in their hands to threaten her...
"What happened?" A geriatric voice came from behind them. There was a heavy pressure in it, making people's hearts unconsciously jolt.
Yun Luofeng narrowed her eyes and looked at the elderly man slowly walking out of the main hall. This man wore a loose, long robe. His face was lumpy, giving him an extraordinarily frightening appearance. However... his aura was dreadful, causing Yun Luofeng's eyebrows to tightly knit together.
After feeling the threat posed by the old man, she shouted, "Huohuo, come back!"
Huohuo was startled and was about to turn around and go to Yun Luofeng's side when that old man acted.
"You disturbed my conversation with Family Head Ling, yet you want to leave so quick?"
"Huohuo!" Seeing the old man's hand reaching for Huohuo, Yun Luofeng swiftly charged over. However, it was too late.
The elderly man had already appeared behind Huohuo, a fearsome power emanating from his palm.
Boom!
Just as the old man's palm was about to make contact with Huohuo, a powerful energy exploded out of the dumbfounded Jing Jiang. This energy was a few degrees more powerful than the old man's, pushing him back several steps.
"It succeeded?"
Joy entered the heart of Xiao Ru, who was secretly watching, but when she realized the power only burst out of Jing Jiang in order to save Huohuo, displeasure plagued her heart.
But... as long as Jing Jiang could recover his original strength, everything that she did was worth it!
The smile on Xiao Ru's face grew bigger and bigger until it froze. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief, shock filling her eyes, and even her body started shaking.
How could this be possible? Impossible! Everything she was seeing must be fake!
Inside the courtyard, Jing Jiang was completely stupefied when he saw another figure split from his body.
This man also dressed like a scholar. Compared to Jing Jiang though, this man was gentle and refined with a hint of frost in his features, as though he could control the lives of thousands of people however he wanted.
.

Chapter 1199:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (5)
He watched Huohuo with deep love in his eyes and a faint smile on his lips. "Huohuo, long time no see. It appears you have finally found the person that you have been waiting for."
At this moment, Huohuo's cheeks were already streaming with tears that covered her youthful face. "Ah Ye... I finally get to see you again."
A thousand years later, they met again, but it was under these circumstances...
"Huohuo, back then, I had no alternative but to leave you, but I accidentally lost my life on a mountain peak. In the process of preserving this spirit form to see you once more, I exhausted all of my power. If it weren't for Jing Jiang's appearance, I wouldn't be able to leave that place and wouldn't have seen you again."
The man's gentle eyes had only Huohuo's figure in them, and his tone was gentle. "Previously, my spirit form resided in Jing Jiang's body, so I recovered my strength while I was at it. My purpose was to wait for your appearance. I originally only wanted to sneak a glance at you and then enter reincarnation. Who would have expected..."
"Ah Ye, you bastard!" Huohuo swiftly darted to the man, her fists fiercely pounding on his chest as she hoarsely screamed, "If I didn't encounter danger, were you planning to not appear at all? You saw me being bullied, you saw me hurt and heartbroken, but you still didn't plan to appear?"
No wonder... no wonder she could feel Ah Ye's presence in Jing Jiang. It turned out Ah Ye's spirit used Jing Jiang's body as a house and lived there.
She misunderstood everything! Ah Ye did not forget her nor did he fall in love with someone else! She mistook someone else as Ah Ye.
"Huohuo." The man grasped Huohuo's fists, his voice turning gentler. "I was truly at fault for this matter. I didn't want to let you see the current me, but I didn't expect you to be in so much sorrow. Sorry, I was wrong..."
Huohuo's sobbing abruptly halted, and she looked up with blurry eyes, his figure reflecting from her clear eyes.
"Ah Ye, I missed you..."
The man patted her shoulders, and his cold and fierce eyes turned to the old man. "After crippling your own strength, leave here. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
The old man's expression abruptly shifted, and he sent a fearful glance toward this gentle and refined man. He hardened his heart and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, go find people from the Ling Family. I'm merely a passerby."
"Sir Hui Yi, you can't do that." Family Head Ling's expression changed on the spot. "Didn't you want to encircle and annihilate Ghost Emperor? Our Ling Family's strength is quite decent and can certainly help you. I beg you to save me!"
Ghost Emperor?
Boom!
An aura suddenly burst out of Yun Luofeng, and her wicked eyes coldly watched Family Head Ling. She asked, "You mentioned the Ghost Emperor?"
Family Head Ling was started, not understanding the meaning of Yun Luofeng's question.
"Is the Ghost Emperor who you speak of a young man?"
Family Head Ling glanced at Yun Luofeng. "I'm not sure. They say that the Ghost Emperor always wears a mask and doesn't show his true appearance to people."
A mask?
Yun Luofeng's eyes slightly dimmed, and the smile on her lips revealed a chilly air.
"I don't care who is the Ghost Emperor that you speak of! I only know that you mentioned Ghost Emperor and even claim to want to annihilate him! Based on this point alone, you deserve to die!"
She did not know whether the Ghost Emperor they mentioned was Yun Xiao...

Chapter 1200:- The Ye Family's Ancestor (6)
But she would rather wrongly kill thousands than allow anyone who wanted to harm Yun Xiao to slip away!
"Ah Ye." Huohuo raised her chin. "If you want me to forgive you, then help me kill these people!"
The elderly man felt the rising killing intent from the man, and his face turned pale from fear. He called out in alarm, "No, you can't..."
Wah!
The man had already extended a finger the second Huohuo finished speaking and gently pointed it at the old man. In a flash, pain erupted in the old man's throat, and fresh blood shot out like a pillar, instantly dying the ground red.
His eyes flew open, and his body fell back with a bang, harshly crashing to the floor.
"Alright." The man turned his head, his indulgent gaze enveloping Huohuo. "Are you satisfied yet? If you aren't, just tell me. As long as it's your request, I will certainly satisfy it."
Huohuo bit her lips. "I want you to not leave me. Can you do it?"
The man's expression froze, and he stated with a bitter smile, "I've already died. I'm currently a spirit without flesh and blood. I need to be reincarnated."
"No. I won't let you leave." Huohuo's sight hastily turned to Yun Luofeng. "Master, you must have a way to allow Ah Ye's spirit to be permanently preserved, right?"
Yun Luofeng grew silent.
Seeing her taciturn expression, Huohuo's heart was harshly squeezed, and her tears flowed down without restraint.
"Silly girl." The man used his finger to gently flick away the teardrops at the corner of Huohuo's eyes and said with a gentle smile, "So what if I could stay? I wouldn't be able to marry you. Huohuo, wait 20 more years for me. I will come and find you in 20 years..."
"What if... what if you forget about me after you reincarnate? What then?" Huohuo quietly asked, her head lowered.
"I won't." The man's eyes were incredibly determined. "I can forget anyone, but I absolutely won't forget you! Huohuo, don't ever be deceived from now on. You must remember that the person who doesn't recognize you definitely isn't me! I've already engraved you into my soul, so how could I forget you?"
"Alright." Huohuo's bright eyes looked up. "Then I will wait for you! No matter how many years, I will wait for you!"
She had already waited for Yun Luofeng for several thousand years and waited for Ah Ye for a thousand years, so what was several more decades?
"Silly girl, although you have lived several thousand years, your body is too tiny. I truly wish you could grow bigger. That way, we can marry sooner." The man's hand dotingly patted Huohuo's head and left an affectionate kiss on the top of her head. "If you really can't continue growing, that's no problem either. Even if I feel like a criminal, I will still marry you for certain."
Huohuo glanced at her young body and fell into contemplation...
Suddenly, the sound of someone stumbling came from outside the courtyard.
Xiao Ru's face was incredibly pale, her body ceaselessly trembling. Her eyes were nearly emitting fire from her jealousy, and she wished nothing more than to shred Huohuo into thousands of pieces.
"Ru'er." Seeing Xiao Ru's appearance, joy seeped into Jing Jiang's heart, and he quickly strode to her side, raising his hand to support her. "Are you alright, Ru'er?"
"Get lost!" Xiao Ru ruthlessly shoved Jing Jiang away and berated with disgust, "Don't touch me with your dirty hands! You're repulsive."
Jing Jiang was taken back. There was no way he could believe that the extremely gentle Xiao Ru would say something like that to him.
