A quick journey through the stars

Lingxi's Cave

Yinreng, Yinlu, and Yin'e walked towards Linghu Lake where Lingxi often fished, but they didn't see Lingxi. Yin'e was puzzled: "Why isn't the master here today?"

Yinzhen and the other man shook their heads. A quarter of an hour later, the three of them saw their master playing chess with a handsome young man with an ethereal air under a peach tree that was so big that it took a hundred people to hug it.

The three of them didn't dare to walk up to Lingxi, so they saluted Lingxi and the young man and stood aside obediently.

The young man, Northern Emperor Yue, was a little surprised to see Yinreng and the other two, and then joked: "You have taken in three at once, I'm afraid your little snake will be restless."

Lingxi smiled fondly and said, "No, my Teng Snake has a good temper and is kind-hearted. He is innocent as a god."

Upon hearing this, the corner of Northern Emperor Yue's mouth twitched: "Haha, your eyes have been feeling uncomfortable recently."

Lingxi said calmly: "No"

Yue: "If Lin and Mo heard what you said, they would probably fight."

Lingxi paused: "But Teng Snake went to the Southern Sky Realm and the Western Sky Realm."

Yue thought of the scene and laughed: "Yes, it's a pity that the Nether Flower that Lin had carefully cared for for three thousand years and the feathers of Mo's mount, the Ice Phoenix, were wasted."

Lingxi's mouth twitched: "Haha, Teng Snake has indeed become more lively after being raised by me. Is Teng Snake okay?"

Yue: "I was punished to copy all the books in the library of the Western and Southern Heaven Realms."

Lingxi was quite protective: "Mo Helin is over 100,000 years old, why would he bother with Tengshe, a 7,000-year-old kid?"

Yinreng and the other two were shocked when they heard this. A child who was more than 100,000 years old or 7,000 years old.

Yue shook his head and smiled: "It's because you're so protective of Teng Snake that he's become more and more noisy."

Lingxi smiled and said, "When I picked up the Teng Snake, it was still an egg with its life force fading. I used my divine power and blood essence to keep it alive, and then I lost thousands of years of divine power to let it break out of its shell.

I spent countless efforts to raise my child. If I don't protect him, who will? He paused and continued: "Who among us doesn't protect others?"

Yue nodded in agreement and said gently, "Indeed, but if that kid finds out that you didn't go into seclusion, he might want to ask you to reduce your punishment."

Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyebrows: "Just tell me, you three are the only ones who know that I'm not in seclusion."

Yue took a look at the chessboard and said, "It's over. I still have some things to deal with." Then he cancelled the Duanzhou technique.

At the same time, Lingxi took out the spiritual mirror with a helpless look on her face, and saw the mirror flash and turn into a water mirror, in which appeared a handsome young man with silver hair and wearing white clothes.

This young man was Teng Snake. When Teng Snake saw Lingxi, he began to complain: "Emperor, where did the Emperor go? Why didn't you take me with you?

Emperor, you have to save me, otherwise my hand will be broken." He said this and placed his hand in front of Lingxi pitifully.

Lingxi said with a straight face: "Tell me, what did you do?"

Seeing Lingxi's sullen face, Tengshe dared not complain and admitted his fault with a bitter face: "Emperor, I'm sorry, Tengshe was wrong. I shouldn't have destroyed Xuanwu's new fan when I knew you were in seclusion, shouldn't have added phantom powder to Qinglong's food, shouldn't have secretly drunk Zhuque's wine, and shouldn't have plucked the hair off Baihu's tail while he was sleeping.

Fearing they would come after me, I went to the Western and Southern Heavenly Realms and clipped the feathers of the Ice Phoenix, the mount of the Western Emperor, and plucked all the Netherworld Flowers from the Southern Emperor.

Lingxi: “…”

Yin'er and the other two: Master, this is what you call a lively and good-tempered person.

Lingxi was helpless: "How much did you copy?"

Teng Snake: "100 books"

Lingxi: “Tell the truth.”

Tengshe was not confident: "Just, just half of the book, half, no, less than"

Lingxi held her forehead and said, "I'll finish copying ten books."

Teng Snake bargained: "Ah, Emperor, copying ten copies is like killing me. No, no, three copies is enough."

Lingxi: “Twenty”

Tengshe continued to bargain: "Emperor, five books, five books is okay, right?"

Lingxi said lightly: "Thirty"

Hearing this, Tengshe did not bargain: "Ten copies, ten copies for me to copy, is it okay for me to copy?"

Lingxi: "Come back and I'll check"

Tengshe let out a weak "oh" and Lingxi put away the spiritual mirror.

Lingxi looked at the three people who seemed to be hesitant to speak and said: "Just ask whatever you want to ask, why are you acting like this?"

Yin'e asked cautiously: "Master, how old are you now?"

Lingxi smiled and said, "No more, no less than 180,000 years old."

The three of them narrowed their eyes and opened their mouths wide enough to fit an egg. Lingxi smiled and said, "If you want to save that little guy (Honghui), then go ahead and save him."
