Chapter 1001 My Daoist Companion Fell in Love with Someone Else on the Road to Resurrecting Me (12)
Yun Qingyi's gaze was fixed on the dissipating light curtain at the entrance of the secret realm. The image of Wen Yuheng chasing Shen Shuyi into the secret realm without regard for anything else was like a thorn piercing her heart.
She was the only direct disciple of Wen Yuheng, the Daoist disciple of the Duxian Sect, and had been deeply favored by Wen Yuheng since the day she entered the sect.
Her master treated her gently, imparting to her the most advanced Daoist techniques of the Immortal Crossing Sect and gifting her protective magic treasures. Even when she occasionally made mistakes, he never scolded her in the slightest. In her heart, her master was like a banished immortal.
She once thought that this master-disciple relationship would one day transform into a Daoist couple's bond, and that she could accompany him across the nine heavens and ten earths, helping him reach the pinnacle of immortality.
But Shen Shuyi's appearance shattered all her hopes.
"Master..." Yun Qingyi murmured softly, a fierce glint flashing in her eyes, before she flew into the Guiyue Secret Realm.
As soon as Shen Shuyi entered the secret realm, she asked the system to help conceal her presence.
She had just fought with Wen Yuheng and was slightly injured.
No wonder the original owner asked her to help him take revenge; this Wen Yuheng is indeed very strong.
It seems she needs to make an even bigger breakthrough to kill this disgusting man.
"66, where is Li Canglan now? How come his favorability towards me suddenly increased to fifty percent?"
She didn't do anything, so could it be that distance makes the heart grow fonder?
[Dear host, Li Canglan has left the forbidden area; he seems to be looking for you.]
Shen Shuyi raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then give him a chance."
Distance makes the heart grow fonder, but that's not enough; love must develop over time.
Meanwhile, at the exit of a certain forbidden area, a rumbling sound ceased.
A figure was lying on the ground, with an egg the size of a watermelon rolling around beside him.
Li Canglan regained consciousness, his eyes bright and piercing, his body radiating powerful demonic energy.
He had just received the inheritance of an ancient demon when the underground palace collapsed; fortunately, he left in time.
Li Canglan's gaze fell on the round egg. It should be the egg of a spirit beast, as the eggshell emitted a shimmering luster.
Shen Shuyi initially wanted to treat him as a spirit pet. If they had the chance to meet again, she could give him the spirit pet's egg. She just didn't know if he would accept it.
During this period of time, Li Canglan thought of Shen Shuyi's face more than once, as well as the moments they spent together and the scene of their dual cultivation of spirit and soul.
He originally intended to go to the Tianyan Sect in Zhongzhou to avenge his parents, but when he passed through Wufang City, he suddenly sensed Shen Shuyi's presence.
As if possessed, Li Canglan followed the trail and entered a secret realm where there was no sunlight, only the illumination of countless stars and moonlight.
When he saw Shen Shuyi bending down to pick herbs in front of a swamp, his heart pounded.
Shen Shuyi sensed someone approaching, looked up and met Li Canglan's eyes.
A smile appeared on her face. "Canglan, I didn't expect to meet you here."
"Fairy Shen, how have you been?" Li Canglan flew forward.
Shen Shuyi looked him up and down. "You seem to have gotten a lot stronger."
"Hmm, I was fortunate enough to obtain some of the demon race's inheritance." Li Canglan took out an egg that emitted rings of golden light from his Qiankun bag.
"I obtained a spirit beast egg in the forbidden area. If you like it, I will give it to you."
Shen Shuyi used her spiritual power to examine it and discovered that it was an egg of an ancient golden-winged roc.
"It's the egg of the Golden-Winged Roc. It's fierce and warlike, and its flight speed is much faster than flying on a sword. It's a top-grade spirit beast. Are you really willing to give it to me?"
Li Canglan did not hesitate, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
"There's no use for me keeping it."
“Then I’ll take it. It’ll be perfect as a mount.” Shen Shuyi took the spirit beast’s egg.
Li Canglan reminded her, "First, we'll form a contract."
If it hatches, an ancient demon beast will be born, which even a Nascent Soul stage expert would find difficult to deal with. Shen Shuyi nodded, and a wisp of pale golden spiritual power condensed at her fingertips. She cut her palm with her fingertip, and a drop of blood hung in mid-air, glistening like a pearl.
"With my blood, I pledge my life to you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his essence blood transformed into a stream of light and disappeared into the patterns on the shell of the roc egg.
In an instant, the egg shone with golden light, as bright as the sun, and countless ancient runes appeared on its shell, resonating with the spiritual power within Shen Shuyi's body.
Shen Shuyi felt a surge of life force flowing into her body through the contract link. She made a hand seal, put the egg into her Qiankun bag, raised an eyebrow and smiled at Li Canglan, "Once it hatches, I'll ride it and take you around the Immortal Origin Continent."
Li Canglan hummed in agreement, "But I need to go to Zhongzhou to take revenge first."
“Coincidentally, I also have a grudge to settle. Let’s arrange our trip after this matter is settled.” Shen Shuyi took out a top-grade spiritual medicine from her Qiankun bag and handed it to Li Canglan. “This is a thank-you gift for you.”
"You're too kind, Fairy Shen. You've helped me a lot in the past."
Shen Shuyi insisted that he accept the elixir, saying, "I refined this myself. If you're not in a hurry to leave, could you help me gather a few herbs?"
“Okay.” Li Canglan nodded subconsciously when he met the girl’s bright smile.
From the swamp to the cliff edge, the two worked together more and more seamlessly, gathering a considerable amount of medicinal herbs.
A fierce wind howled atop the cliff, its walls covered in a thick layer of moss, slippery as oil.
Shen Shuyi touched the protruding stone edge of the cliff with her toes and reached out to reach the Netherworld Grass, whose leaves shimmered with a ghostly green halo.
Watch your step.
Li Canglan's voice came from above, his gaze fixed on Shen Shuyi's figure.
Just as Shen Shuyi's fingertips touched the leaves of the Netherworld Grass, a deafening roar suddenly rang out!
Crimson flames pierced through the clouds, and a scorching heatwave swept in. A fiery beast emerged from the flames, its mane ablaze with raging fire, its fangs as white as knives, and its large, blood-red eyes fixed intently on the elixir in Shen Shuyi's hand.
"Roar--"
A flame as thick as a bowl burst forth, carrying the power to burn mountains and boil seas, and rushed straight at Shen Shuyi's back!
At the critical moment, Li Canglan's figure swooped down like a ghost.
He wrapped his long arm around Shen Shuyi's waist with such force that he almost wanted to knead her into his very bones.
The two spun around to avoid the demonic fire, but the cliff face was struck by the pillar of fire and instantly shattered, sending debris flying everywhere.
Shen Shuyi felt a cool, refreshing aura envelop her, her back pressed against Li Canglan's firm chest. The coolness of his black robe dispelled the scorching heat of the demonic fire. She still clutched the resurrection grass in her hand, her heart pounding like a drum.
"Watch out!" Li Canglan's voice trailed off with a hint of barely perceptible panic as his powerful demonic energy lashed heavily onto the monster's head, sending the enormous creature staggering backward.
The Crimson Flame Beast, writhing in pain and fury, opened its mouth and unleashed several more waves of fire that swept across the land.
Holding Shen Shuyi, Li Canglan retreated step by step, his toes touching the cliff face. As his black robe fluttered, several ice shards flew out from his sleeves, barely blocking the waves of fire.
The Crimson Flame Beast pounced again, but Li Canglan raised an eyebrow and firmly pulled Shen Shuyi into his protective circle.
Shen Shuyi looked down at his arms that were wrapped tightly around her waist, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Li Canglan's eyes turned cold, and his demonic power surged. The Crimson Flame Beast didn't even have time to let out a wail before it turned into a pile of ashes.
With the crisis over, Li Canglan belatedly released his arm, but couldn't ignore the softness in his palm. "Are you alright?"
"Thank you." Shen Shuyi looked at him. "But were you injured?"
Why are your face and ears so red?
Li Canglan's eyes flickered slightly. "No, I'm fine."
