Chapter 120: Parting (2)

In Myriad Purple City, Baizhi excitedly browsed from stall to stall, while Zhanyue just followed behind her, watching over her. For these few days, Zhanyue had only been accompanying her to enjoy herself freely. Until the princess’s mansion was completed and Baizhi truly moved in.

The servants from the Bai family and Baizhi’s grandmother were all brought over. As for the Bai family and that family ranking competition, they were no longer important. With the princess as their backing, even if the Bai family ranked at the bottom among the families, who would dare to look down on them or offend them? At least Bai Yulou hadn’t completely fallen out with Baizhi, and Baizhi still had feelings for the Bai family, so the Bai family was currently in a mysterious state of stability.

Outside Myriad Purple City, Baizhi’s eyes were full of reluctance. Parting was inevitable, and now was the time. She didn’t want to restrict Zhanyue’s freedom, but she was still very reluctant to part.

“Cultivate well, delve into pill refining, and pay attention to martial arts too. Next time we meet, I’ll be checking, you know,” Zhanyue said, holding Baizhi’s hand. A Alchemist’s status is given by others, but true strength comes from oneself, so Zhanyue still hoped Baizhi would have some self-protection ability.

“I’ll entrust these two little ones to your care,” Zhanyue looked at the two little cat spirits rubbing against his legs. It was inconvenient for him to travel with them, and the two little cats currently had no combat power. Keeping them in his storage ring wasn’t a good choice for him or for the two little cat spirits. With Baizhi, they wouldn’t have to stay in the cramped storage space, and Baizhi could nurture them with the best resources.

Baizhi picked up the two little cats and nodded.

“Don’t be like this. I’m just going to study. When I advance to the Profound Realm, I’ll come back,” Zhanyue said. “Don’t forget, even if we’re far apart, we can communicate at any time. We’re already much luckier than others.” Zhanyue felt this space divine ability was truly wonderful. Baizhi could refine pills in the rear, continuously supplying him, and if he needed any herbs for pill refining, he could ask Baizhi to collect them for him.

Unable to bear looking at Baizhi’s eyes any longer, Zhanyue took a deep breath, summoned the Heaven Punishing Demon Sword, and flew away on it, quickly leaving Myriad Purple City. He feared if he lingered any longer, he really wouldn’t be able to leave.

Only after Zhanyue had completely disappeared from sight did Baizhi turn to go back to her mansion. The princess’s mansion had just been built, and many miscellaneous matters still needed her decision, including which herbs to plant in which fields. But thinking that she could write to Zhanyue at any time, and Zhanyue could immediately sense it, she wasn’t so sad.

“Yesterday I had another idea. I wonder if I can develop this kind of fifth-grade pill,” Soon, Baizhi immersed herself in pill dao again, temporarily forgetting the sorrow of parting.

Zhanyue blushed, his thoughts exposed. Ever since the illumination Goddess removed her divine facade, Zhanyue felt she was simply a witch.

“Speaking of nobility, who could be nobler than you, Sister? Sister, how long can you stay this time?” Zhanyue tried to change the subject but failed.

“Noble? What, do you want to ‘bully’ me?” the illumination Goddess found teasing Zhanyue to be quite enjoyable.

“.......” Zhanyue was speechless. “Alright, Sister, I still prefer your lofty, otherworldly appearance.”

“I played the role of the divine maiden others saw for a lifetime in my previous life. Living again, I don’t want to constrain myself like that anymore,” the illumination Goddess said lightly, then added, “I’ll see after I send you to the Academy Town. The Nightmare Clan has become so clever and cunning now, I need to investigate why. They’ve even learned to hide their strengths, which is unbelievable.”

“Be careful, someone is following you,” the illumination Goddess suddenly warned.

“Following me? Aren’t I in the sky?” Zhanyue, who was concentrating on sword flight, was startled. Could it be a Spirit God Realm expert? Who could it be?

“Not Spirit God Realm, it’s a Sun Profound Realm expert, with extremely heavy killing intent. Actually, I noticed a few days ago that a killing intent was often locked onto you. But seeing you and that girl playing so happily, I didn’t tell you, not wanting to disturb your time together before parting. After you left Myriad Purple City, he followed. He seems to be using some special flying device,” the illumination Goddess said.

“Sun Profound Realm? Sister, don’t intervene. Let me play with him,” Zhanyue knew that if the illumination Goddess acted, this Sun Profound Realm expert would probably be instantly killed, which wouldn’t be interesting. But he was curious about who wanted to deal with him. The Bai family? The Golden Pill Cultivator’s people? Both seemed unlikely. They didn’t know his background and wouldn’t dare to act rashly.
