"Really?"

  Fag his suspicious gaze, Hei Xiaolian started sweating nervously. She had indeed used the body thiing teique to "grow up," but the real reason for her decision was her guilt over the mess she had caused with Jasmine.

  She wao make it up to him, thinking this would be a way to express her apology. However, she had po keep this ge a surprise for him, she didn't expect him to notice so soon.

  "Big brother, you're awake!" Just as Hei Xiaolian couldn't handle his gaze any longer, a fsh of vermilion light appeared, and Hong'er emerged!

  "Hong'er?" Yun Wuji's attention shifted to Hong'er, and he no longer paid any mind to Hei Xiaolian.

  'Fortunately!' Hei Xiaolia out a sigh of relief, patting her chest. For the first time, she felt a strange sense of gratitude toward this annoying girl.

  In the past, no matter how she tried to scam this little girl, Hei Xiaolian always ended up with a blood pressure spike. This girl's words were poison in so many ways! Looking at Hong'er, Hei Xiaolian couldn't help but start to miss Jasmine.

  That stupid tsundere was just too cute and easy to scam!

  "Big brother, are you alright?!" When Hong'er appeared, she first circled around him, examining him with her big eyes, then stopped in front of him and asked.

  "Hmm, I'm fine now," Yun Wuji nodded with a gentle smile, feeling warm that this little girl had finally learo show for her master.

  "Good!" Hong'er excimed loudly, then pced her hands on her hips and demanded, "Give me something yummy to eat! You slept for so long a a beautiful young dy like me starving! You're really a bad big brother!"

  "..." Bck lines appeared on Yun Wuji's forehead. He covered his face with his hand, then pulled out a few swords from his ste and hahem to her.

  "Haha, so delicious! I knew Big Brother is the best!" Hong'er held the sword in her hands, mung on it with her mouth. Every time she bit down, rge ks of the sword disappeared!

  "This little brat is ridiculous!" Hei Xiaolian whispered. No matter how many times she saw the se of a little girl eating profound swords as if they were soft cakes, it never failed to amaze her.

  "Little sister, Hong'er is not a brat! I am Hohe beautiful Hong'er!" Hoopped eating, sized Hei Xiaolian up with her vermilion eyes and spoke with the tone of an elder advising a junior. "You o eat too! Look at yourself, you're so tiny! No man will like you. You'll live aloh no husband or children, with only a small cat you'll call your daughter!"

  Critical Damage! Hei Xiaolian - 100,000 HP!

  "You..." Hei Xiaolian's eyes widened. She was used to this girl's i yet vicious words, but this... this was on another level! It pletely pierced through her defenses!

  Hong'er ignored Hei Xiaolian and resumed eating. After finishing her meal, she stretched her waist and yawhen said with sleepy eyes, "Big brother, Hong'er is so full, so I should go back to sleep... Don't be noisy and wake me up."

  With that, she turned into a streak of light and vanished bato the Sky Poison Pearl.

  "..." Yun Wuji shook his head helplessly, then walked over to the petrified Hei Xiaolian and patted her head. "Don't take it seriously, you won't end up lonely... hmm, at most, I'll get a dog for you. Yeah, dogs are more faithful."

  "Fuuuck!!! I will remember this grudge!" Hei Xiaolian finally broke, letting out a cry before running away in tears.

  "Why does this situation feel familiar?" Yun Wuji thought, sensing a strange déjà vu, but he couldn't quite recall why. He shook his head and his body disappeared, exiting the Primordial Ark.

  Outside the Ark, Yun Wuji appeared in front of a tree. He bent down, picked up the Primordial Ark, and put it away.

  After that, he spread his seo s his surroundings. A few moments ter, he realized he was in an uninhabited mountain range. His senses didn't detey humans nearby, only some profous.

  firming that no one was around, Yun Wuji activated his disguise teique, altering his face, body, and even his life aura. Once he was done, he took out a mirror and examined his appearance. Letting out a pretentious sigh, he muttered, "To think I have to hide my perfect face... it's truly a loss for all the living beings in the universe not to be able to see my true face."

  Yun Wuji quickly left the mountain. Although he was tempted to hunt down some Divine in Realm beasts and harvest their profound cores, he refrained from doing so. His first priority was to figure out where he was and find a way to reach the Snow Song Realm.

  The path he had designed before erfect for him to reach the Snow Song Realm. Along the way, he had hidden many profound jades, cores, and other resources he had 'borrowed' from many generous people. If his main body wao avoid trouble, he could easily pay for teleportation and quickly reach the Snow Song Realm.

  However, as the saying goes, man proposes, and God disposes.

  After flying for a few hours, a city appeared in his view. When he was a few hundred kilometers away, Yun Wuji nded on the ground and tinued his journey on foot.

  Most cities prohibited flying, but of course, this only applied to weaklings. A Divine Spirit or Divine King could still fly without question, who would dare to challenge him?

  As he approached the city, Yun Wuji was faced with another important problem, he didn't have the fees to enter!

  When he was on the Blue Pole Star, he had absorbed all the crystals there, barely colleg 35kg for Jasmio use. Now, he didn't have anything on him!

  He had never sidered this problem because he had already prepared everything with his Devil body.

  "100 Purple Profound Stoo enter," Yun Wuji watched from afar as a maered the city, after paying the required 100 Purple Profound Stoo the city guard.

  Purple Profound Stones are what are referred to as Purple Veined Heaven Crystals in the Blue Pole Star, while Purple Profound Crystals are the Purple Veined Divine Crystals.

  Each Purple Profound Stone weighs fifty grams.

  Above the Purple Profound Crystals are the Purple Profound Jades, and above the Profound Jades are the God Crystals and Jades, as well as the Devil Crystals and Jades.

  * 1 Purple Profound Crystal = 1,000 Purple Profound Stones.

  * 1 Purple Profound Jade = 1,000 Purple Profound Crystals.

  * And so on...

  Yun Wuji didn't have 5 kg of Purple Veined Heaven Crystals, so he turned his attention to the people waiting in lio ehe city. His gaze eventually settled on a carriage at the end of the row. The carriage was the most 'luxurious' among the ones present, and standing beside it was an old man, his expression indifferent as he stared straight ahead.

  "By their looks, they seem like kied people who wouldn't mind 'lending' a bit of cash, right?" With a harmless smile, Yun Wuji swiftly flew toward them.

  "Halt! Who are you?" Seeing Yun Wuji approag, the old man immediately became alert, frowning and shouting as he brandished his sword.

  Yun Wuji ighe shout and only stopped when he was a few meters away. With a harmless smile, he said, "Greetings, would you be ied in doing a good deed?"

  "Good deed?" The old man was slightly fused by Yun Wuji's words, but he didn't care much about them. Pointing his sword at Yun Wuji, he snarled, "I don't care what your motive is. Scram, or die!"

  "...Sihis is your first time, I'll spare your life. But I'll let you know, I don't like being poi," Yun Wuji said, eyeing the sword poi him. He tilted his head, still wearing his harmless smile. "Put down that sword, or you might not like what happe."

  'Hmm, didn't I say the same thing just a few ho? I'm getting skilled at this,' Yun Wuji thought to himself, scratg his . 'As they say, practice makes perfect. I guess I've got a talent for this type of... 'persuasion.''

  Yun Wuji didn't feel guilty doing this. He had long siegrated into this world and firmly believed in the "might makes right" philosophy. If you were strong, you could take whatever you wanted. Even though this group of people hadn't done anything to him, Yun Wuji still wao pick a fight with them simply because they were the least pleasing to the eye among the crowd.

  Hearing his words and seeing his ptuous attitude, the old man's expression darkened. He was so angry that his beard began to sway violently. Scowling, he growled, "Junior, you are c death!" He raised his sword and was about to make a move to subdue this imperious youngster.

  Bang!

  At that moment, Yun Wuji released his aura, and suddenly, a vast pressure, as heavy as a mountain, crashed down on the old man.

  Thud!

  "...!!!" The old man's expression froze. His body trembled like a leaf in the wind, his knees bug as he colpsed to the ground with a resounding thud.

  He was only at the 10th level of the Divine Soul Realm, and he was merely esc his young master to the city. Why did he have to run into this monster? Slowly, he raised his head, f a smile uglier than g, and said ftteringly, "Senior, five me. I was c death."
