The atmosphere gradually became somewhat melancholic, because they knew that time together was always short and separation was inevitable.
"Sigh, it's so hard to part with my little brother," the witch said first, letting out a feigned sigh of sadness.
Then, she reverted to her sly demeanor, giving Shi Hao a flirtatious wink. "Little brother, I'm sincerely inviting you! As long as you're willing to join our Jie Tian Sect, I can't guarantee anything else, but I promise you... you'll see beautiful and capable... um, 'fat women' like me every day! And there will be plenty of them!"
"Witch! Have you no shame?!" Upon hearing this, Fairy Yuechan's pretty face turned frosty, and she coldly rebuked, "Junior Brother Shi Hao's talent is unparalleled; he is a genius rarely seen throughout the ages! How could he be bewitched by your crooked and evil ways?!"
She turned to Shi Hao, her expression solemn, her clear, cold voice like heavenly music: "Junior Brother Shi Hao, our Patching Heaven Sect has a long history and profound foundation, and we also possess the complete 'Patting Heaven Scripture' and many supreme secret techniques! If you are willing to join, I can personally introduce you! With your talent, you will surely become a leading figure of our sect's new generation in the future! You might even reach the legendary supreme realm!"
Two equally stunning beauties, yet representing completely different lineages, a fairy and a witch, once again engaged in a "battle to snatch" in front of Shi Hao!
Moreover, the "conditions" they offered this time were extremely tempting!
One promises "countless beauties by your side," while the other promises "supreme inheritance and the future of the Daoist tradition!"
However, Shi Hao simply looked at them calmly, shook his head, and gave an apologetic smile: "Thank you for your kindness, sisters, but..."
"I'm used to living a carefree life and don't want to join any major religion or be bound by anyone for the time being."
Upon hearing Shi Hao's answer, a clear look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of both the witch and Yuechan.
However, they did not insist.
They knew that a proud and ambitious prodigy like Shi Hao, with boundless potential, could not be easily won over with just a few words.
"Hehehe... Since little brother isn't interested for now, I won't force you." The witch quickly regained her languid and alluring demeanor, winking at Shi Hao. "However... the doors of my Intercepting Heaven Sect are always open to you. Whenever you've changed your mind, you can come and play with me anytime~"
"Hmph." Fairy Yuechan simply gave a cold snort and said nothing more.
Immediately, the two fairies and witches rose to take their leave.
"Little brother, see you later." Before leaving, the witch didn't forget to wink at Shi Hao.
"Junior Brother Shi Hao, take care." Fairy Yuechan simply nodded.
The two then transformed into streaks of light and left the Desolate Marquis's mansion.
Watching their departing figures, Shi Hao breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Dealing with both of them at the same time is quite stressful.
"Shi Hao..."
At this moment, Yunxi also stood up, her beautiful, amethyst-like eyes filled with complex emotions.
She was silent for a moment, then finally said softly, "I should return to Tian Shen Mountain. There are still important matters in the clan that I need to attend to."
She paused, then extended the invitation again, her tone more sincere than before: "Remember our agreement. Mount Tianshen welcomes you anytime. If... if you encounter any problems you can't solve, you can also come to me."
By the end, her voice was barely audible, and her pretty face was slightly flushed.
"Okay." Shi Hao looked at her rare shy expression and his heart stirred slightly. He nodded seriously, "I will definitely visit Tian Shen Mountain next time."
Having received Shi Hao's promise, Yun Xi seemed relieved and nodded slightly to Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er.
It then transformed into a streak of purple light and drifted away.
……
In the blink of an eye, the once bustling Marquis's mansion was left with only Shi Hao and Huo Ling'er.
The atmosphere became somewhat delicate again.
Huo Ling'er looked at Shi Hao, hesitant to speak, seemingly also preparing to take her leave.
Seeing her somewhat disappointed and reluctant expression, Shi Hao's heart softened, and he took the initiative to ask, "Junior Sister Ling'er, are you leaving too?"
"Hmm..." Huo Ling'er nodded gently, her voice a little downcast, "Father is still waiting for me. And... I need to go back and cultivate properly! I can't let you, you rascal, leave me too far behind!"
"Well..." Shi Hao looked at her, then suddenly grinned and extended an invitation: "How about I take you back to the Fire Kingdom? And I can also visit your home while I'm at it?"
"what?!"
Huo Ling'er suddenly raised her head, her big eyes, like flames and glass, widened instantly, her little face filled with surprise.
Going...going to the Fire Country?! He...he's going to my house?!
"You...you really?!" she asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Of course it's true." Shi Hao nodded with a smile. "Didn't you invite me before? I happen to be free now, so I thought I'd go and get acquainted with the place beforehand?"
"Pah! Who told you to recognize the door!" Huo Ling'er's pretty face instantly turned red with embarrassment, but she couldn't hide the joy and elation deep in her eyes.
"Well... alright then!" She tried her best to maintain the last bit of composure and nodded. "Since you're so 'sincere' about to go, then this princess... will reluctantly take you along!"
"Hahaha! Good!" Shi Hao couldn't help but burst into laughter at her adorable, contradictory expression.
……
Just as Shi Hao parted ways with the women and prepared to set off for the Fire Kingdom.
Within the forbidden land of the ancient sacred mountain, Demon Spirit Lake, an even bloodier and more brutal battle is unfolding!
Rumble!
The battle cries shook the heavens! A dazzling light pierced the sky!
Several terrifying Venerable-level experts, as if possessed by madmen, are frantically attacking the protective array of Demon Spirit Lake!
They have only one goal!
That is the physical body of Shi Yi, the double-pupiled one, which is closely guarded by the Demon Spirit Lake!
"Kill! Charge in!"
"Double pupils! Supreme bones! Unparalleled body! They're mine!"
"Hahaha! Old spiders of Demon Spirit Lake! Hand over Shi Yi's body obediently! Otherwise, your Demon Spider lineage will be completely wiped out today!"
Most of these Venerable Ones were attracted by Shi Yi's supreme body, which combined double pupils and the Supreme Bone, after watching the battle in the Void God Realm!
They may be nearing the end of their lives and want to seize the treasure body to defy fate!
Or perhaps they have their own shortcomings and want to use the precious body to break through their limitations!
Or perhaps it was pure greed, a desire to obtain this "divine treasure" that is said to be extremely rare throughout history!
At this moment, they joined forces, determined to break through Demon Spirit Lake at all costs and seize the precious body that drove them mad!
Although Demon Spirit Lake has a profound foundation and is protected by an ancient divine array, it is still in grave danger under the frenzied attack of several Venerables!
The protective array was constantly being bombarded and was on the verge of collapse!
The spiders in the lake suffered heavy casualties, and blood flowed like a river!
The Lord of Demon Spirit Lake, that ancient demon spider that has lived for countless years, was severely injured and could only barely hold on with the help of the ancestral formation!
It seemed that Demon Spirit Lake was about to be completely breached! Shi Yi's physical body was about to fall into the hands of others!
At this most critical moment!
Another anomaly has occurred!
Swish!
A blurry figure in gray appeared on the battlefield without warning, like a ghost!
This is a woman.
She was not particularly tall, and her gray clothes made her look extremely ordinary, even somewhat worn, which was out of place in the battlefield where shouts of battle shook the heavens and precious lights soared into the sky.
Her face seemed shrouded in a light mist, obscuring her true features. Only her long, flowing black hair, like a waterfall, was casually draped over her shoulders, covering most of her face.
She stood there quietly, as if she were independent of this space and time, without any powerful aura emanating from her, looking just like an ordinary mortal woman.
However, this was a woman in gray who looked extremely ordinary!
The instant she appeared!
Whether it was the several Venerable Ones who were launching a frenzied attack or the old Demon Spider who was struggling to hold on, they all stopped what they were doing.
.1
A chill that seemed to emanate from the depths of their souls instantly enveloped their hearts!
It was as if they were being watched by a forbidden being that had been sleeping for countless ages!
"Who...who are you?" a Venerable One, who was fiercely attacking the great formation, asked in a fierce but weak voice.
However, the woman in gray completely ignored him.
She simply lifted her foot slowly.
One step, just one step!
Her figure seemed to shrink the distance to an inch, instantly traversing an endless distance!
Ignoring the raging energy turbulence and dense magic array runes, it appeared before the central heavenly palace that floated high in the sky above Demon Spirit Lake!
Fast, too fast!
She was so fast that even those Venerable-level experts couldn't see how she moved!
"Stop her!" the old spider screamed in utter terror!
He had a very bad feeling!
Dozens of powerful attacks, like a storm, instantly bombarded the gray-clad woman!
However, faced with this terrifying attack that could easily annihilate kings and nobles and severely injure venerable ones!
The woman in gray remained calm.
She simply raised her right hand gently.
There was no earth-shattering sound, no world-destroying power!
Those dozens of terrifying attacks, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, were silently annihilated the moment they came into contact with the gray ripples.
Everyone was completely stunned by the bizarre and terrifying scene before them!
What... what kind of tactic is this?
The woman in gray, after annihilating all the attacks with a wave of her hand, didn't even glance at the dumbfounded Venerables.
She was just taking another step forward.
As if strolling leisurely, it directly passed through the protective array blessed by divine runes!
