It had been a day since he had returned to Gemini Island, but before he had even arrived, the fog had already parted to the left and right, forming a passage. A figure walked up to him and cupped his fists, “Greetings, Sir Yang!”
This person was none other than the Open Heaven Stage master who had sent the message to the Proprietress last time. It was likely arranged by the two Island Masters of Gemini Island. They had also witnessed Yang Kai’s display of power on Gemini Island and was shocked by the strength of this young man.
Yang Kai nodded lightly.
The man said, “The two Island Masters have ordered that if Sir Yang returns, you may enter the island on your own!”
“Many thanks to the two Island Masters for their kind intentions,” Yang Kai stepped forward and asked, “Where is my Proprietress now?”
The man respectfully replied, “Rest assured, Sir. Madam Lan is already recuperating in a quiet room and should be fine. After Sir enters the island, someone will lead you there.”
Yang Kai nodded and stepped inside.
Entering Gemini Island, a faint fragrance wafted over. Inside this island, the scenery was beautiful, with birds singing and flowers blooming, a stark contrast to the desolate outside world.
A young woman with a pure appearance was waiting for him. After seeing Yang Kai, she stepped forward to greet him and led him towards the Proprietress’ healing area.
A moment later, in the depths of a bamboo forest on Gemini Island, Yang Kai stopped. There were a few simple bamboo houses in this bamboo forest, but this place was quiet and elegant, truly suitable for healing injuries.
Chef and the Accountant were standing guard outside a bamboo house, sitting cross-legged on either side.
As if they had heard some noise, they opened their eyes and looked up. Seeing that Yang Kai had returned, all of them were overjoyed and quickly stood up.
Yang Kai waved his hand and dismissed the woman who had led him here. Taking a few steps forward, he looked at the bamboo house that was surrounded by restrictions and asked in a low voice, “How is the Proprietress?”
Chef and the accountant both shook their heads.
Chef said, “After Proprietress arrived here, she went into seclusion to recuperate, but we don’t know the details.”
The accountant' dead fish eyes glanced at Yang Kai and asked, “Are you injured?”
Naturally, Yang Kai couldn’t escape unscathed from the battle at the Profound Yang Mountain, not to mention the fact that Mao Zhe had broken the back of his hand, Yang Kai had also eaten many of the Open Heaven Stage's Divine Abilities and Secret Technique, but his physique was extremely strong, so some of his injuries weren’t serious.
“It's nothing,” Yang Kai shook his head, “What the hell is that Battle Armor of the Proprietress?”
Although the power of that set of battle armor was extraordinary, the repercussions were too great, causing the Proprietress to disregard all her relatives and even attack him. If it weren’t for the fact that he had used the Soul Warming Lotus to protect her, it would have been impossible for the Proprietres to wake up so easily.
Chef sighed and said, “We don’t know what it is either, we only know that the Proprietress called it the Blood Monster Battle Dress, but we have never seen her use it before, this is the first time.”
Yang Kai frowned, “That’s not a good thing, it’s better to use it less.”
Chef said, “When the Proprietress comes out, you should talk to her yourself and see if she listens to you.” Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and looked at Yang Kai suspiciously, “But you little brat, how did you break through from Fifth Order to Sixth Order in just a month? And didn’t you just break through to Fifth Order?”
The Accountant also looked over suspiciously.
Yang Kai’s sudden display of strength at the Sixth Order caused not only Yun Feibai and the others shock, but even Chef and the Accountant were shocked, thinking they had seen wrongly, but he had indeed beaten Yun Feibai and the others to the point where they had fled like rats.
At this moment, Yang Kai’s aura was indeed that of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master.
There was nothing to hide from the two of them, so Yang Kai pondered for a moment before asking, “Have you ever heard of World Fruits?”
…
Inside a palace on Gemini Island, Hua Yong held a Message Bead in his hand as his expression changed.
Shu Mudan looked up and asked in confusion, “Old Master, what’s wrong?”
Hua Yong said, “Yang Kai is back.”
Shu Mudan smiled, “Since he's back, why do you look like you’ve been troubled?”
Hua Yong said, “He said he wanted to go to the Profound Yang Mountain, but after only a few days, he’s actually back. This Profound Yang Mountain… did he go or not?”
Shu Mudan said, “Whether he goes or not is his business, what does that have to do with us?”
Hua Yong couldn’t help laughing, “Madam, everyone knows that a pregnant woman can become a fool, but I didn’t believe it. Now that I see you like this, I believe it a bit more.”
Shu Mudan couldn’t help glaring at him flirtatiously.
Hua Yong said, “He said he was going to pay a visit to Profound Yang Mountain, but what kind of place is the Profound Yang Mountain? It’s Shadowless Cave Heaven's number one force, and that Mountain Lord Mao Zhe is an existence infinitely close to the Seventh Order, and his subordinates are all strong. If he went there, how could he return safely?”
“Then he didn’t go,” Shu Mudan said.
Hua Yong remained silent. If Yang Kai could really return from Profound Yang Mountain after going there, his strength would be terrifying.
Shu Mudan said, “If you send someone to Profound Yang Mountain to take a look, you’ll understand everything. This trip won’t take more than a few days.”
Hua Yong nodded, “Madam is right.”
Shu Mudan glared at him and said, “I wonder who the fool is now.”
“It’s me who’s stupid, it’s me who’s a fool!” Hua Yong smiled apologetically and immediately sent out a message, ordering his subordinates to investigate the situation at the Profound Yang Mountain to see if there were any traces of the battle there. If Yang Kai really went to the Profound Yang Mountain, he would definitely fight with Mao Zhe, and there would definitely be traces left there.
Putting away the Message Bead, Hua Yong said, “Madam, come with me to see that Yang Kai. Whether he goes to Profound Yang Mountain or not, the strength he displayed before is already strong enough. With that Lan Youruo, I’m afraid the situation on our Gemini Island will change.”
As he spoke, he sighed heavily, not knowing if this change was a blessing or a curse.
Yang Kai and Lan Youruo both had the cultivation of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master. If they joined Gemini Island, they would definitely become the Third and Fourth Island Masters, and Gemini Island’s strength would also greatly increase. In the future, they would no longer have to worry about Profound Yang Mountain and Matchless Society.
However, if they were unwilling to submit to others and insisted on becoming the first and second Island Masters, the couple would likely have no choice but to abdicate.
The husband and wife shared the same heart, and Hua Yong sighed. Shu Mudan naturally knew what he was worried about, so she immediately held onto Hua Yong’s arm and comforted him, “Old Master doesn’t need to worry about this. We’ve had contact with that Madam Lan before, it’s obvious she’s a reasonable person. Even if she really joined our Gemini Island, she shouldn’t have done anything rude.”
Hua Yong said worriedly, “I hope so.”
…
Outside the bamboo forest, Chef was flabbergasted, “You actually have a Mid Rank World Fruit? That’s a good thing that can allow a Mid Rank Open Heaven cultivator to advance one grade. It’s said that High Rank World Fruit can allow a High Rank Open Heaven to advance one grade directly.”
The Accountant also sighed, “No wonder you were able to break through to the Sixth Order in just a month’s time. When you were unconscious before, it wasn’t to heal your injuries, but to refine the medicinal efficacy of the Mid Rank World Fruit?”
“Yes!” Yang Kai nodded.
Chef’s eyes lit up as he rubbed his hands together and smiled flatteringly, “The Mid Rank World Fruit…”
“No more!” Yang Kai spread out his hands, “In the Great Ruins Boundary, I collected three, Yue He ate one, Lu Xue ate one, and I used one myself.”
Chef’s smile froze on his face as he slapped his thigh in annoyance, “What a waste, that Lu Xue is a Fourth Order Open Heaven, why did you feed her this?”
Yang Kai said, “At that time, I encountered a powerful enemy. If I hadn’t allowed her to break through as quickly as possible, I would have died a long time ago. How could I have cared so much?”
Chef’s eyelids twitched as he wore a pained expression.
The Accountant said thoughtfully, “No wonder Yue He was able to break through to the Sixth Order so quickly. So it was because she ate the World Fruit… En? Someone came.”
The three of them immediately shut their mouths and turned their heads to look outside the bamboo forest. A moment later, two figures appeared in front of them. They were the two Island Masters of Gemini Island.
The three of them quickly stood up to greet them.
Hua Yong walked over with a smile and cupped his fists, “Brother Yang is back?”
“I just returned!” Yang Kai returned the greeting, “I was worried about my Proprietress’ injuries, so I hurried over to investigate. I didn’t have the time to pay my respects to the two of you, please forgive me.”
Hua Yong smiled and said, “Little Brother, what are you saying? Madam Lan is still injured, so it’s only natural for you to be worried about her. There’s no need to be so polite, it’s just that everyone’s presence on my Gemini Island is a great honor!”
After exchanging some pleasantries, everyone sat down.
Hua Yong asked, “Did Brother come back from Profound Yang Mountain?”
Yang Kai nodded, “Yes.”
Hua Yong’s eyes narrowed as he asked calmly, “How is the situation?”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before saying seriously, “Mao Zhe’s strength is extraordinary, he’s not easy to deal with.”
A light flashed across Hua Yong’s eyes as he smiled and said, “Mao Zhe has immersed himself in the realm of the Sixth Order for a long time. If it weren’t for the shortage of cultivation resources in Shadowless Cave Heaven, I’m afraid he would have broken through to the Seventh Order a long time ago. When me and my wife first came to this Shadowless Cave Heaven, we once sparred with him and he was indeed very powerful. Now that so many years have passed, I’m afraid his strength is even greater than before.”
Yang Kai sighed, “The Open Heaven Stage is indeed a realm that requires time to slowly accumulate.” Turning his head to look at Shu Mudan’s stomach, he smiled and said, “Madam, are you about to give birth?”
Shu Mudan gently cupped his big belly and smiled, “It’s still early, I’m afraid it will take another year or so.”
“En?” Yang Kai was quite surprised, “Haven't you been pregnant for almost ten months?” Her belly was so big, it looked like she was about to give birth soon, so why would it take another year or so?
Shu Mudan smiled lightly and said, “Junior Brother Yang is talking about an ordinary person, or perhaps a cultivator whose strength isn’t too high. With our cultivation, it’s not easy for us to conceive, so naturally we want to give our children a good future and build a foundation in their mother’s body so that they can give birth to a Spiritual Embryo, so it will take a longer time.”
Hua Yong smiled, “This child has been in her mother’s womb for more than three years.”
Yang Kai, Chef, and the Accountant were all dumbfounded.
