She became a god

Inside a private room on the third floor of Fulai Inn.

Ye Qingzhou served Wen Xichun the dishes with great enthusiasm, saying, "This Eight Treasure Duck is delicious, you should try it."

Wen Xichun didn't pick up her chopsticks immediately, but instead asked, "Why did we come back?"

They had finally managed to send the Lin siblings away and successfully escaped their marriage; they should have left without a trace.

But Ye Qingzhou insisted on coming back.

Faced with Wen Xichun's doubts, Ye Qingzhou poured himself a glass of fruit wine and said, "If I don't come back, then I'll really be making a losing deal."

"Didn't Lin Jingchuan say he would have his father replenish the drop of fire phoenix essence blood you provided?"

Ye Qingzhou waved his hand, "Not enough."

Wen Xichun gave her a deep look. "Are you eyeing the Ice Soul Divine Sword?"

"Correct."

“But you don’t have an ice spirit root, nor are you a sword cultivator.”

Ye Qingzhou has a water elemental root, while the ice elemental root is a mutated form of the water elemental root, and is more powerful.

If Ye Qingzhou were a sword cultivator, the Ice Soul Divine Sword might be a great temptation for her.

But she's not a sword cultivator, nor does she like using swords, could it be...?

"You want to exchange money?"

"It can be sold for money!"

This answer is both outrageous and reasonable.

"Hey Chun-jie, are you buying? I'll give you a discount."

"I have a sword."

Wenxi Spring possesses the Sword of Cause and Effect and the Sword of Thunder.

The Ice Soul Divine Sword is optional.

Having failed in his business venture, Ye Qingzhou smiled dejectedly and continued eating.

"The others?"

Wen Xichun didn't believe that Ye Qingzhou stayed behind just for the Ice Soul Divine Sword, which had little chance of success and was rather useless; she must have discovered other opportunities.

Ye Qingzhou puffed out her cheeks, swallowed the poached chicken in her mouth, and said, "Mmm... I still want to... play some more!"

"Time? Place? Person?"

Wen Xichun is not actually a person who likes to nitpick, but Ye Qingzhou is indeed an unpredictable companion.

You can never guess what she'll do next.

Even though she could hear his inner thoughts, Wen Xichun still dared not say that she could control Ye Qingzhou.

Wen Xichun used to keep her distance from people and things she couldn't control, to avoid being potentially hurt.

But she didn't want to leave Ye Qingzhou at all; perhaps it was Ye Qingzhou's honesty in the cave that day that made her reluctant to part with him.

Or perhaps it was out of lingering affection for the warmth Ye Qingzhou had inadvertently given her.

Ye Qingzhou, on the other hand, was stumped by Wen Xichun's question.

Ye Qingzhou always acts according to his heart, regardless of the current situation or what others say, only caring about his feelings in the moment.

She said she really wanted to stay and have some fun, but to be honest, she hadn't even thought about how she would play.

Just then, a waiter brought over the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish that Ye Qingzhou had ordered, which saved the day.

Ye Qingzhou generously gave a mid-grade spirit stone as a reward.

She picked up the serving chopsticks and placed a chopstick on Wen Xichun's plate. "Eat first. Once you're full, then you can think about mundane matters. Here, try my Sanhuang honey wine."

Wen Xichun drank a cup and said, "You added the Eight Merits Water."

"Mmm, isn't it delicious?"

"Too sweet, not spicy enough."

"This is fruit wine, not spirits!"

Do you drink soju?

"Of course... I won't."

Wen Xichun smiled, her beauty captivating, like a snow lotus blooming towards the sun, drawing all eyes to her.

"If you can't drink soju, then that's too..."

Wen Xichun wanted to say it was a pity, but after thinking about it, it seemed inappropriate, and she couldn't think of a suitable word for the time being.

Ye Qingzhou was very curious, "Too what?"

Sunlight streamed through the window curtains, illuminating her pretty face. Wen Xichun could clearly see the fine downy hairs on her face and exclaimed, "So cute!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhou raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You don't need to state this fact in front of me."

"Your original model must be even cuter."

Will it be as cute as the straw bear?

Wen Xichun's heartfelt sentiments jolted the lazy Ye Qingzhou awake.

I think I've done everything, right?

[Punishment, punishment, punishment!]

punish?

Does Ye Qingzhou have some kind of mission?

Judging from appearances alone, one cannot discern Ye Qingzhou's true intentions.

She continued to eat heartily, devouring meat and drinking wine.

But a string of unspoken thoughts betrayed her.

[Except for the Jiuhua Snow Lotus, everything else is on track and thriving!]

I know I can do it!

【Ah! Why hasn't Di Ziyu come to find me yet?】

[Waaah, has she forgotten the Heart Sutra of Jiuhua Mountain by Daming Lake?]

Daming Lake—when did they stay in a place called Daming Lake along their journey?

It's okay. Even if I forget, I still have Lin Jingchuan.

[Hehe, I remember now, after Brother Chuanzi killed Di Zixuan, he was put on the wanted list by the Celestial Clan cultivators led by Di Ziyu.]

But... I haven't heard this news recently?

[I hope Di Ziyu isn't in trouble. I don't think so. She's quite intelligent, cautious, and meticulous; she's unlikely to suffer any losses.]

[Sigh! Human hearts are unpredictable. I, a mere bear, have endured so much at an age when I should be carefree!]

[Squirrel-shaped mandarin fish is incredibly delicious! Once I get my hands on the Ice Soul Divine Sword, I'll secretly follow the Ye sisters.]

[If Di Ziyu gets too emotional after losing her younger brother and kills me, the world will lose so much joy—a true loss to the Six Realms!]

I knew Ye Qingzhou was confident, but I didn't know she could be so smug.

In the Yunying Continent, the lowest level of a person who can truly influence the Six Realms is a Mahayana cultivator.

There are only a little over a hundred Mahayana cultivators in the Six Realms, and even fewer Tribulation Transcending cultivators, with only a dozen or so known to the public.

Above this, below ascension, there is another realm called half-step ascension.

Cultivators prefer to call those at this level "half-immortals".

There are only about five cultivators who can reach the level of a half-immortal.

Most clans are considered powerful if they have even one cultivator at the Integration Stage.

Rumor has it that there are five Nascent Soul stage cultivators in Snow City, one of whom is in seclusion attempting to break through to the Mahayana stage.

They were going to be staying under the watchful eyes of these powerful figures, and if they made a mistake, their lives would be in danger.

Wen Xichun looked somewhat disappointed, but Ye Qingzhou smiled and pried her hand open, then slipped a sachet into her hand.

With a thought, he realized that this was an extremely powerful defensive treasure.

Wen Xichun looked up and saw only the dimples on Ye Qingzhou's cheeks.

"I almost forgot, this is a talisman my great-grandmother gave me. It can withstand three attacks from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. It's incredibly useful!"

Looking at the green bamboo sachet in her palm, Wen Xichun asked in a hoarse voice.

"how about you?"

"Me? Of course I still have some!"

Ye Qingzhou replied with a grin, "My great-grandmother loves me the most!"

Ye Qingzhou's great-grandmother was a Mahayana cultivator. However, the former Little Panda Clan Chief had retreated from the world to cultivate due to the early death of her beloved daughter Ye Wanhua, vowing never to do divination again, and had handed over the position of clan chief to her granddaughter Ye Xingming at a young age.

This also caused many cultivators to sigh with regret, after all, a little panda in the Mahayana stage could completely foresee the fate of a family, a race, or even the future of the Six Realms.
