Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing, “I know, I’ll be careful.”
Yu Rumeng continued to remind him for a while, as if she was a young married woman who had stayed at home to remind her husband that was about to go into battle. She no longer had the dignified aura of a Demon Saint and instead only had endless reluctance and worry.
Yang Kai just smiled at her, memorizing every word she said.
“Are you not going to stop nagging?” Bei Limo, who had been standing not too far away, looked up at the sky full of stars. At this moment, she couldn’t help but turn around and say to Yu Rumeng, “Since you’re so reluctant, why don’t you go with him?”
Yu Rumeng glared at her, “If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute.”
Yu Rumeng naturally wanted to accompany Yang Kai, but she couldn’t.
Chang Tian and Bei Limo were worried about these Great Emperors, how could Yu Rumeng be at ease with them? Yang Kai had left, and if she left as well, the two who had obtained several thousand Demon Kings and several dozen Half-Saints might have some kind of ulterior motive. If Yu Rumeng stayed, she could at least try to restrain Chang Tian and Bei Limo, especially Bei Limo. She still had Yang Kai’s Soul brand in her mind, so if she is left unattended, who knew if she would try to break it?
She didn’t tell Yang Kai about this because there were some things that didn’t need to be said so clearly.
However, there was no need to be impatient with Bei Limo. After exhorting him for so long, Yu Rumeng finally sighed and clapped her hands.
Two figures quickly approached from the side, and when they got close, Yang Kai discovered that these two were old acquaintances.
Bai Zhuo, Bai Ya!
One was a Half-Saint under Yu Rumeng’s command, while the other was a Half-Saint under Bei Limo’s command, both of whom had fought with Yang Kai many times.
Bai Zhuo was originally in the Two World Battlefield, but when Yang Kai was preparing to swallow Yu Rumeng’s continent, Bai Zhuo received an order to return from the Two World Battlefield.
When the two sides met, Yang Kai nodded towards them before turning to Yu Rumeng with a questioning look.
Yu Rumeng said, “If you go out with them, I’ll be more at ease.”
“There’s no need for that,” Yang Kai laughed, “I have Wind Chaser, I still have my Embodiment.”
“That’s not the same,” Yu Rumeng shook her head, “I’ve stayed in the Star Boundary before, so I know it’s not peaceful here. If something happens, they can help.”
Not only could they help, but with two Half-Saint masters helping him, unless the Great Emperor personally took action, who could do anything to Yang Kai?
Bei Limo also said, “If you don’t bring the two of them with you, don’t leave. You’re our key. If something really happens to you, what will we do?”
Their escape route had been cut off, and all of their hopes were on Yang Kai. No matter what, they had to ensure Yang Kai’s safety.
Since the two Demon Saints had said so, it was likely that Chang Tian had the same idea. Even if Yang Kai wanted to refuse, he wouldn’t be able to. Helpless, he could only nod and say, “Fine, bring them along.”
Yu Rumeng turned her head, a stern look appearing on her charming face, “The two of you must follow my husband at all times, no matter what, you must ensure his safety. If anything happens to him, the two of you can come and see him!”
Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya both cupped their fists and solemnly said, “Rest assured, Saint Venerables, we will protect Sir Yang with our lives.”
“Thank you for your trouble,” Yang Kai cupped his fists towards them.
“We wouldn’t dare!” Bai Zhuo and Bai Ya quickly replied.
In the past, when they had interacted with each other, they had always referred to each other as brothers. Now that Yu Rumeng had even called him ‘husband’ in front of them, how could they dare to act arrogantly?
At this moment, Chang Tian also walked over. Before he arrived, his voice rang out, “If everything is settled, then let’s set out. The sooner we settle this matter, the sooner we can relax.”
There was no need to prepare anything, so Yang Kai immediately put Bai Ya and Bai Zhuo into the Mysterious Small World, bid farewell to Yu Rumeng and the others, and soared into the sky.
Under the starry sky, Yang Kai transformed into a streak of light and headed south.
Staring at his disappearing back, Yu Rumeng let out a long sigh.
Bei Limo glanced at her and sneered, “You look like a resentful woman, can’t bear to part with him?”
Surprisingly, Yu Rumeng didn’t argue with her this time. Instead, she simply watched Yang Kai leave before turning around and leaving, causing Bei Limo to feel like she had just punched cotton.
…
A hundred kilometers away from the Mysterious Small World's Third Peak, there was a tall mountain covered in dense trees. On the trunk of a large tree, a graceful figure was lying on the ground with a relaxed look on her face, her long and slender legs dangling in the air. Bo Ya was holding a one foot arrow in her hand and was currently using her Demonic Qi to refine it.
Suddenly, a figure appeared out of thin air, less than three feet away from her.
Bo Ya’s reaction was extremely fast, her original languidness disappearing as she leapt up, the long arrow in her hand disappearing at the same time, replaced by a sharp dagger, which she held in her hand as she stabbed forward.
However, in the next instant, Bo Ya’s figure suddenly came to a halt, the dagger in her hand only three inches away from the figure. Letting out a long sigh, she patted her towering chest, “You scared me, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?”
Her chests was tumbling…
The newcomer was naturally Yang Kai. The only one who could appear here so suddenly was Yang Kai.
Yang Kai smiled, “Good vigilance.”
Bo Ya snorted, “Traveling alone, if i weren’t so vigilant, i would have been killed countless times already.” Saying so, she sized up Yang Kai and asked suspiciously, “Your body… are you dead?”
“It’s just a projection,” Yang Kai replied.
Yang Kai’s main body was still on the road, and what appeared in the Mysterious Small World was just a projection of his Divine Sense. At the very least, he was now a Third-Order Emperor Realm master, his Divine Sense was even stronger than a Half-Saint’s, so it wasn’t a problem for him to divide his attention.
The Divine Sense projection seemed to be quite vague, so Bo Ya thought that Yang Kai had encountered some kind of trouble and was only left with his Soul Avatar. Since the last time they were in the Eternal Heaven Continent, Bo Ya had risked her life to block an attack for Yang Kai, and after returning to Cloud Shadow Continent, Yang Kai had returned the Soul Puppet to Bo Ya, so even if something happened to Yang Kai now, Bo Ya would not be implicated.
As he spoke, Yang Kai turned his head and looked a hundred kilometers away, “Is everything alright over there?”
Bo Ya replied, “What’s the matter? Those three are getting along better.”
A hundred kilometers away, in the Myriad Flower Valley, on the mountain peak where Li Shiqing was located, a simple long table was set up. On the table were several plates of exquisite delicacies, several jugs of fine wine, Huo Lun, Mo Sheng, and Li Shiqing, all of whom were sitting on three sides, chatting happily.
Chang Tian wanted all the masters of Demon Kings and above in the Mysterious Small World, so Yang Kai also satisfied him. However, Mo Sheng and Huo Lun from the Myriad Flower Valley didn’t move and was left behind, naturally because of Li Shiqing.
It could be seen that the three of them were getting along quite well, and although he didn’t know what they were talking about, all of them had happy expressions.
“Have you investigated Mo Sheng’s background?” Yang Kai asked.
Bo Ya said, “Investigate carefully, it’s just a fallen Demon King from the Sunken Frost Continent. Although his cultivation is not bad and he is a High-Rank Demon King, because he is too arrogant, he is not welcomed by the other Demon Kings and the Sunken Frost Continent’s Half-Saint. In the past, he also submitted to that Half-Saint, but later on, because of some matters, he left the Sunken Frost Continent and cultivated alone like I did, not being controlled by anyone.” Saying so, she added, “Right, Sunken Frost Continent is the territory of Saint Bei Limo.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly and said lightly, “In your opinion, did he deliberately approach Li Shiqing, or did he come here by coincidence?”
It was just a casual question, there was no deeper meaning to it. The main point was that Li Shiqing had just arrived at the Myriad Flower Valley and he had followed her here. Coincidentally, a hero had come to save the damsel in distress and had even settled down in the Myriad Flower Valley. Yang Kai couldn’t help thinking about it.
“Coincidence?” Bo Ya asked. The last time Yang Kai had asked her something similar, so she had paid more attention to it. During this time, she hadn’t discovered any ulterior motives from Mo Sheng. The three of them would only meet once every two months, they were usually busy with their own things.
Yang Kai nodded and didn’t say anything more, just quietly observing. Although Bo Ya could see what was happening a hundred kilometers away with her Eye Ability, she couldn’t hear what was being said.
Yang Kai could hear it. As long as he wanted to, nothing in the Mysterious Small World could escape his senses.
At this moment, Huo Lun was asking some unfamiliar questions about cultivation, Mo Sheng didn’t try to hide anything and explained his own cultivation insights in detail, causing Huo Lun to look like he had benefited greatly.
Li Shiqing was also quietly listening, occasionally interrupting, but every time she did, she would hit the nail on the head, causing Mo Sheng to praise her greatly. After all, she was a disciple of the Great Emperor and had received excellent training since she was a child, so she naturally had a deep understanding of the Dao of Cultivation. Although Human and Demon were different, their pursuit of strength was unanimous.
After a brief exchange, Mo Sheng agreed to Huo Lun’s request and went off to spar.
The difference between the two Demon Race’s realms was two minor levels. One was a High-Rank Demon King while the other was a Low-Rank Demon King. Originally, there was a great disparity between them, but now, the World Laws of the Mysterious Small World only allowed Principle Source Stage cultivators to appear. Even with Mo Sheng’s powerful cultivation, it was difficult for him to use his full strength, so it was relatively fair.
This battle wasn’t interesting at all. Mo Sheng’s final skill was higher, and Huo Lun admitted defeat.
Half a day later, Huo Lun and Mo Sheng took their leave.
After Li Shiqing packed up her things and returned to her pavilion, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared and she turned around to leave.
With a bang, the door suddenly closed. Li Shiqing used all her strength but was unable to open it.
After a while, Li Shiqing turned around and glared at Yang Kai, “What do you want?”
Yang Kai looked at her and said lightly, “I’m going back to the Star Boundary.”
Li Shiqing blinked, seemingly unable to hear or confirm what he was saying. After a long pause, she asked, “You went back to the Star Boundary?”
“Yes,” Yang Kai nodded, “You should be able to leave soon.”
Li Shiqing was silent, not as happy as Yang Kai had expected. After a while, she raised her head and stared at him with a complicated look, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Master what I saw that day?”
