Chapter 1749 - 1052: I’ll Reluctantly Support You

Ice Gleam High Wall, the sakura of Wooden Baby Court withered overnight, the ground full of decay, the water still flowing, yet the pavilion was already vacated.

Sui Yi descended onto the water platform and entered the house.

He only saw two beds placed in the inner room, one large, one small, one on the left, one on the right.

No one.

Sui Yi’s fingertips moved slightly, glancing toward the shadowy corner.

"Come out."

Yan Buyu, also known as Posayi, revealed her body, looking at Sui Yi, her expression somewhat obscure and unclear, or perhaps a bit weary.

"That person acted too quickly, I was a step faster than you, yet a step slower than him, Green Bean and Ah Ling were taken by him, the Salamander is dead, the inheritance fell on Green Bean, but I’m worried..."

Yan Buyu is the Divine Eye Clan Leader, possessing prophetic abilities, perhaps her foresight of the future was inaccurate, but past events were undoubtedly certain.

Sui Yi did not wish to make premature speculations now.

"You’re familiar with Xue Piao Ling, do you know what she might leave behind?"

Yan Buyu snapped back, pondering for a while, darting to the neighboring boudoir, shortly after retrieving a brocade handkerchief from a book, with a distinct paragraph written upon it.

Yan Buyu read it, handing the brocade handkerchief to Sui Yi.

——Tai Yuan, Salamander, and me, the combination of the three can create a being to inherit a large portion of the primordial lifeline.

Sui Yi and the others were silent, now the Salamander is Green Bean, Green Bean is the Salamander, and evidently, Xue Piao Ling was also taken away, the personnel ready; if Tai Yuan wanted to strengthen himself using the lives of the two to obtain primordial power, there seems to be nothing to stop him.

Unless they can immediately find the other person...

Yan Buyu’s face paled a bit, looking at Sui Yi, "No matter how big our previous enmity, from now on, my life and soul are at your disposal, just if you’re willing to rescue them..."

Sui Yi glanced at her, his tone indifferent and cool, "There is really no reason to be unwilling."

Yan Buyu said, "Then..."

Sui Yi replied, "But since you said so, I’ll just begrudgingly spend some rice money."

Yan Buyu said, "....."

Are you the High Priest making it remarkable? Even her Divine Eye Clan Leader feels disdain....

Yet, knowing now was not the time to argue with the High Priest verbally or physically, as she wouldn’t win anyway, considering the grip she had over Yan Buyu.

"What should we do now?"

"Finding them is unlikely, I just checked, all traces have been completely severed, no signs, otherwise even you wouldn’t be unable to track them."

This point Yan Buyu had to admit.

Some things can’t be accomplished just by having enough power—such as finding someone.

If Tai Yuan wanted to hide, even the High Priest couldn’t find him.

"To keep him from hurting Xue Piao Ling and Green Bean, there’s only one way—make him have no time."

A flash of Divine Light appeared in Yan Buyu’s eyes.

She understood.

--------------------

That night Sui Yi and Yan Buyu rushed to the Rose Jade World, but since it’s not a public world, there weren’t any flight routes; to go there, they could only use airships, and Sui Yi happened to have two, one given by Crown Prince Jiao, the other fetched from Thousand Buddha....

As the ancient airship traversed through the Starry World, Yan Buyu stood on the deck, looking up at the clear starry sky.

"Releasing two airships simultaneously seems intended to create a confusion effect..."

Sui Yi slightly rotated the Arrow of the Witch Emperor on her finger and said insipidly, "Not confusion, but probing."

She still suspected that person.

Since there is suspicion, it means uncertainty.

--------------------

Purple Sky District.

The nightscape was of Sky Clarity.

Yin Li put down the scroll in her hand, glanced at the thick stack of documents on the table, and rubbed her temples in fatigue.

Even at the Starfall Level, energy was limited.

She looked up at Crown Prince Jiao, who was reading a book in the front.

"Jiao, you should learn to handle these affairs..."

Previously, there was conflict between the Dragon Ape, during tumultuous times, Jiao had no power, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to handle political and military matters, so they all conceded to let the Crown Prince’s passion for poetry and literature pass, but with the two factions having ceased fighting, it was suitable for Crown Prince Jiao to enter the court...

Yet hearing this, Crown Prince Jiao couldn’t help but shirk, "Sis, I’m clueless about these matters, if you make me do this, I’ll end up messing up the governance, and Father and Mother haven’t requested it either..."

However, seeing the exhaustion between Yin Li’s eyebrows, he couldn’t help but soften his tone, "Is sister too worn out? Have I been too selfish, putting all the pressure on sister..."

"No... I just think the future of our Dragon Race should fall on your shoulders, in the future, if I..."

"Sis."

Yin Li looked up, seeing her brother’s smile, as clear, radiant, and extraordinary yet warm and gentle.

"Sister is our Dragon Race’s future, no matter what... you always are."

Yin Li was momentarily dazed but didn’t say anything, "It’s late, you should go to bed earlier."

Crown Prince Jiao walked away bathed in the night...

Yin Li rose from her seat, removing her outer robe, instinctively glancing toward the courtyard across from the pavilion...

About to see Crown Prince Jiao enter from the courtyard, the wind was strong, stirring his robe, and vaguely she caught a glimpse of the side profile of her brother, who had just been smiling warmly and phenomenally. The light and shadow that obscured his face in the night soon vanished.

She paused for a while, instinctively pressing her hand to her heart.

——That person, is nearby?

--------------------

In the Crown Prince Pavilion, Crown Prince Jiao also removed his outer robe and entered the bathroom. The steam rose, and he undressed completely, stepping down into the pool, immersing his body in the water.

Some beauties, regardless of gender, can be equally captivating and enchanting.

When Crown Prince Jiao entered the water, his usual calm and gentleness faded away. His eyes tilted upwards, pupils crimson, lips as red as blood, and his skin was almost translucent, like crystal. His beauty seemed so enchanting that the entire bath overflowed with the essence of spring.

When Shura arrived, the veil at the front swayed, vaguely revealing the genderless enchanting being with eyes lingering, appearing both smiling and expressionless.

Gazing intently for quite a while, he finally spoke, "Tai Yuan’s collapse, why don’t you lend a hand?"

"The fallen ones are deemed weak. My people of Loulan never help losers, much less the weak."

Shura frowned, "You should know we’re of the same stance..."

"Shura, do you know why you could never surpass Shen Zhiyue?"

Shura despised this topic the most.

"Born favored."

Shen Zhiyue was someone born with divine favor, possessing everything from birth.

"Perhaps. Some innate excellence is hard to surpass... like intelligence."

Loulan’s words were truly a slap in the face without reason.

A hint of killing intent appeared in Shura’s eyes.

"But what you lack isn’t intelligence, but self-awareness... With Shen Zhiyue’s divine soul gravely injured, dying in obscurity, do you consider yourself safe and sound?"

"Stance...."

Loulan scooped a handful of clear water; the stream of water cascaded down from his fingertips.

"The true master of Tai Yuan is neither you nor me."

"It’s merely cooperation; where does stance come from?"

Shura: "Who is it?"

"I don’t know."

Don’t know? Shura sneered, it’s more like not wanting to say.

"She has already obtained the Arrow of the Witch Emperor, reaching Heavenly Venerate Level. Once she acquires the Divine Sword Nianji or retrieves her primordial spirit body from the Ninefold Demon Tower, she can reach her peak period from years ago... At that time, you and I...."

"It’s you, not me."

Loulan’s attitude was indifferent.

Shura’s expression subtly changed.

"Then why do you stand by my side? Weren’t the things you did earlier to help me against her?"

Loulan turned his face to look at the garden outside the open window, where petals from peach blossoms were scattered.

"Three errors in one statement, I’m typically too lazy to argue. You should leave."

Silently, Shura felt insulted again.

Under the first and second spirits, only this person in the world, only him...

Shura gritted his teeth, reaching out...

"You are indeed impudent, truly thinking I wouldn’t dare move against you?"

The one who was originally leaning against the pool wall slipped beneath the water like a fish and resurfaced close to the surface. His ink-black hair clung to his shoulders, as black as sesame, as white as condensed milk.

His eyes shimmered, tilting his head as he wiped water droplets from his perfectly curved chin onto his delicate, fair wrist, then raised his chin to look at him.

"Move against me? In this world, only she can move me..."

This heartless and wickedness, yet pure and gentle.

With a lowered head, Shura could see the body, more perfect and delicate than a woman’s, half concealed and half revealed in the rippling water.

He gasped for breath.

Involuntarily narrowing his eyes.

"High Priest? Heh heh."

"They say the Shark Mermaid is the most enticing existence in the world, born with heaven and earth, proud beyond measure, but submits only to the High Priest.... But, this High Priest that you respect so much, liked an insignificant human. They’ve had far too many opportunities to be alone, perhaps turning the night upside down with her day after day... Loulan, can you imagine her gasping under that man?"

Not yet finished speaking.

Loulan grinned; sharp little ivory fangs vaguely evident, his eyes sinisterly cold.

Reached out...

Tear.

A fingertip ripped through Shura’s avatar.

The split avatar simultaneously saw Loulan standing in the water, his body radiating a blood-red hue, dyeing the entire pool.

Shura was long unable to make any sound, only hearing Loulan’s voice of resentment and chilling sorrow.

"Imperial Crown..."

He curled up his body, sitting in that blood-red water, as mournful and homeless as a child.

Yet when the cold wind from outside blew in, he raised his hand, revealing a Star Position Map on the back of his hand, where a red dot could be seen traversing between stars...

"The ship flies, but the person is gone; has suspicion about me already arisen?"

With his head lowered, his lips pressed deeply onto the back of his hand, his eyebrows and eyes incomparably gentle.

As if kissing his beloved girl.

——————

When the sky turned white, atop the dome of Rose Jade World’s sky, a flying boat soared through the sky, entering the Rose Jade World, surrounded by desolation.

Yan Buyu, also from the Main World, had seen everything and felt indifferent.

Soon, the flying boat landed.
