Luo Guxie!

  'First a 10th-level Divine Master father-, and now a 9th-level Divine Master son-?' Yun Wuji struggled to keep his expression from twitg. he be sidered fortunate or unfortuo enter two of the universe's most powerful figures in such a short span of time?

  Thankfully, his skill in trolling his emotions was exceptional, without it, he wouldn't have been able to create Invictus.

  Excluding those from the King Realms, Luo Guxie was widely aowledged as the stro person iire Eastern Divine Region!

  Though in truth, the Sword Sn, Jun Wuming, was the stro, he didn't bother to refute this cim since his lifespan was nearing its end and he no longer cared about fame.

  'What is she doing in this lower star realm? Why are these super-powerful people suddenly being so ied in lower star realms?!' Yun Wuji raged internally. He had been exceedingly cautious during his trip to the God Realm. Using his Devil body, which had King Realm cultivation, he had scouted the path ahead, setting up numerous secret bases along the way in case of emergency.

  Yet, despite all his precautions, he still ended up entering the most dangerous woman in the Eastern Divine Region!

  And nht after waking up, he had to enter another Luo Guxie!

  'Let's calm down first,' Yun Wuji thought to himself. 'From what I know about this woman, she used to be in love with a man from a lower star realm. If I remember correctly, his name was Ning Danqing. If this is the star realm where that man inated from, then it will make sense for her to be here.' Yun Wuji quickly stopped pining, his mind going into overdrive as he began to think of the possible reasons why she was here.

  'This isn't necessarily a bad thing,' Yun Wuji thought quickly. 'She helped me and didn't show any hostility, which means she doesn't have any ill will toward me...at least for now. I use this to my advantage.'

  All these thoughts fshed through his mind in an instant. From the moment Luo Guxie spoke her o now, not even a split sed had passed.

  Luo Guxie noticed Yun Wuji's expression freeze for a brief moment before he quickly recovered, maintaining a calm tone as he spoke. "So, it is Fairy Guxie, the number one expert in the Eastern Divine Region. It's my honor to have met you."

  "Oh?" Luo Guxie was surprised this time. This man's rea to her identity was astonishingly calm. One must know that for the people in the God Realm, Divine Masters were gods among mortals. Just hearing their name invoked reverence, and seeing them was like witnessing a living god! Not to mention, she was among the stro of them!

  'He is truly...' However, Luo Guxie's surprise wasirely because of his calm rea. Something deep inside her heart stirred when she saw it. Maintaining a posed expression, she shook her head and said, "Number one in the Eastern Divine Region? You don't have to ftter me. There are still many people who are far above me."

  Yun Wuji smiled, his expression sincere as he replied, "These King Realm experts only rely on their iahey haven't purely reached their level through cultivation alone. So, if we're talking about pure talent and real cultivation, you are indeed number one."

  Of course, he was merely fttering her. When it came to talent alone, Qianye Ying'er surpassed her by tless leagues.

  "What a slick tone, haha," Luo Guxie's eyebrows arched as she let out a small chuckle. As she gazed at his perfect face, her eyes softened, and her mind drifted back to the past.

  However, she quickly regained her posure and shook her head. 'It's not him, they don't look alike at all, but...'

  "It seems that Fairy Guxie has something on her mind, so I won't tio bother you," Yun Wuji said, notig her absent-minded expression. He gave a slight bow and added, "Perhaps I ot repay the gratitude of saving me, but I'll always keep it in my heart. Farewell, Fairy."

  As he finished speaking, Yun Wuji gave her o gnce before turning to leave.

  Seeing him decisively walk away, Luo Guxie's expression shifted. Why was he leaving so suddenly? Shouldn't normal people g to someone as powerful as her, hoping te some e? Why was this foolish man walking away?!

  She couldn't let him leave just yet...she still hadn't... Quickly, she called out, "Wait!"

  'Gotcha bitch!' Yun Wuji shouted in his mind, then turned around and looked at her with a slightly fused expression. "Is there something, Fairy Guxie?"

  "...I... I..." Luo Guxie seemed to suddenly realize her slip-up. She stammered for a moment, her eyes flickering before she quickly regained her posure. With a light cough to cover her awkwardness, she spoke again, her voice steadier this time. "Cough! Earlier, I ied your body, and I noticed your talent. After seeing it, I wonder... Would you be willing to take me as your master?"

  What she said was a lie. She had indeed checked his body but found nothing because something seemed to be obsg her from iing his profound veins.

  She didn't know his talent or how many ws he had cultivated, but that didn't matter to her. What mattered to her was that she wao keep him with her!

  "Eeeh? Eeeeeeeh?" Yun Wuji froze his eyes widened into the size of an egg, he slowly raised his head. He parted his lips, his voice filled with surprise as he spoke, "Fairy Guxie, you want to take me as your disciple?!"

  "What? You don't want to?" Luo Guxie crossed her arms beh her sizeable chest, drawing a graceful ard raised an eyebrow as she asked.

  "No, no! It's my honor to be Fairy's disciple!" Yun Wuji quickly regained his posure, kneeling on the ground and saying, "Disciple Yun Wuji greets Master!"

  While perf the ceremony, deep inside, his mind was rag. 'Strange, she's supposed to be very cold and unreasooward aher than her beloved son. Why is she ag like this toward me? information, I need information...'

  Yun Wuji was filled with arrogand fiden himself, but he also had a keen sense of self-awareness. He knew when to advand when to retreat. He didn't blindly provoke unnecessary troubles. It was clear that this woman had some hidden motive toward him, but for now, he couldn't afford to defy her.

  All he could do was follow her lead ahings unfold as they would.

  "Hmm, good!" Luo Guxie nodded in satisfa, her lips curling into a faint smile.

  Thud!

  Meanwhile, in the Northern Divine Region, Yun Wuji killed a dark monster with a quick attack. After skillfully processing its body, he sat down to cook its meat over a crag fire. Taking a rge bite of the savory meat, he mused to himself, "The Eastern Frost Nation isn't far now. At this pace, I'll reach it within a day."

  While people from the three Divine Regions viewed dark beasts as walking camities, Yun Wuji saw them as one of the fi sources of energy to aid i his cultivation. Ba the World End Cliff, he hadn't dared to hunt any of these creatures, fearing he might attract Sn Divis or even Divine Master Beasts.

  He could only watch those tantalizing "meals" from afar, uo savor even a bite. But now? The situation was pletely different.

  'I wonder how You'er is doing alone in that dark pce?' Thinking of the Word End Cliff, Yun Wuji couldn't help but think of the cute You'er. 'I o find a way to fuse her soul with Hong'er's sword, this way she won't have to endure loneliness in that dark pce.'

  After eating, Yun Wuji ed the area and erased all traces that might allow ao track him, then tinued flyi.

  One day ter, he reached Eastern Frost Royal City.

  Eastern Frost try was located in the East Territory of the East Ruins Realm. It was a small try with modest power, stantly at war with the Heavenly Martial try. However, thanks to their try Preceptor, Fang Zhou, they were able to hold their ground a.

  Yun Wuji floated above the city and released his 2nd-level Divine King Realm aura, spreading it across the ey.

  This a sent the whole city into utter chaos.

  "Eh, doesn't this sario seem a bit familiar?" As he waited, Yun Wuji suddenly recalled the time when he first arrived at Floating Cloud City.

  "Which fellow Daoist is visiting us?" As Yun Wuji was reminisg, a loud shout followed by the appearance of a man. His gaze fixed on Yun Wuji with an unfriendly expression, and deep in his eyes was an arrogahat couldn't be cealed, especially when he sehat Yun Wuji's cultivation was only at the 2nd-level Divine King Realm.

  He was Fang Zhou, the try Preceptor of Eastern Frost try and the stro person within it.

  Right after Fang Zhou appeared, a group of men surrouheir emperor, Dongfang Zhuo. Following Fang Zhou's lead, they all positiohemselves behind him and looked at Yun Wuji with wary expressions.

  "Who are you, sir?" one of them asked cautiously.

  Yun Wuji looked at them with a gentle smile and said, "Hello everyone, I'm here to offer my services. Would you like to know about my prote service?"

  Seeing his smile, Dongfang Zhuo's expression eased, and he asked tentatively, "Sire, what do you mean by prote service?"

  "Of course, it's to offer my prote," Yun Wuji maintained his gentle smile. After all, he o show some mao his future ers, right?

  One of the ministers asked curiously, "Proteg us from what?" Could this guy be his services to bee the try Preceptor like Fang Zhou? If so, that would be great news for their try!

  "Good question! I like smart people," Yun Wuji cpped his hands and nodded in approval toward the mihen he said, "It's to protect you from me, of course!"
