Chapter 701: Stay Out of the Fairy’s Business (End)
Mo Yuhuai, looking all serious, sneaked a glance at Qiann Yan: "Alive, I’m your Stone, dead, I’m still your Stone. When alive, I follow your lead; once dead, you can melt me down for Artifact Refining."
Qiann Yan: "..." Do Stones become so stupid after gaining essence?
Not entirely. Some Stones in books are quite wise.
Perhaps... different kinds of Stones vary?
"If you are leaving, take me with you," Mo Yuhuai continued, "Without you, I might be schemed against and melted for Artifact Refining. Better cheapen you than someone else. I’m willing to be melted by you."
Qiann Yan pondered: "Can’t take you away, let me study it. Maybe I can try to take your soul."
"Then study on; just don’t leave me here when you go," Mo Yuhuai didn’t care about others, as long as this Little Grass didn’t run away.
"Little Grass, you can’t deceive people."
"In this world, I trust you the most."
Qiann Yan: "I’ll do my best."
She had long wanted to figure out how to capture souls and take them out.
In the following period, Qiann Yan spent time studying souls, with Mo Yuhuai often serving as her test subject.
Later, she sought out some gravely ill individuals, promised them benefits, and had them assist in the experiments.
Unnoticed, over a thousand years had passed in the Mortal World, while only three years in the Heavenly Realm, birthing a new Heavenly Emperor and Empress.
What startled them was the friendly invitation from the new Heavenly Emperor and Empress, inviting them to the celestial banquet in the Heavenly Realm.
Qiann Yan felt her research was nearly complete, knowing a trial would reveal success.
With the new Heavenly Emperor and Empress’s friendly invitation, she planned to visit, intending to bring Xuan Shuang along, to show their presence.
Everyone in the Heavenly Realm was kind to them, with Qiann Yan’s seating hardly differing from before.
Mo Yuhuai sat next to Qiann Yan, poured himself a drink, found it delightful, and then poured a cup for Qiann Yan: "Quite refreshing, give it a try."
Qiann Yan tasted it. The mild aroma had a hint of sweetness, leaving a rich flavor lingering on her palate; it was indeed delightful.
"If Venerable enjoys it, take two jars back when you leave," said the Heavenly Empress with a kind smile. "This was brewed with Heavenly Realm fruits." She glanced at the Fairy beside her and instructed, "Lann Zhen, fetch two jars of Immortal Fruit Brew."
"Yes, Heavenly Empress."
Lann Zhen—a name unheard for a long time.
Qiann Yan and Xuan Shuang simultaneously looked over, seeing only a figure’s back. Soon, the Fairy named Lann Zhen approached with two jars of Immortal Fruit Brew, nodded and smiled at them.
"Venerable, long time no see." Lann Zhen’s eyes reddened slightly, whispered, "Thank you."
Thanks for the countless years of your elder sister’s protection, making her forget the outside world’s cruelty.
Thanks for the lesson from years ago, which enlightened her.
Having reincarnated countless times, she returned to the Heavenly Realm once more. Experiencing all mortal life’s intricacies, she realized how precious the past protection was.
From henceforth, it wouldn’t be encountered again.
Xuan Shuang’s eyes also reddened a bit, having been sisters for so many years, she blessed Lann Zhen for her realization and return.
After the celestial banquet, Qiann Yan planned to return to the Demon Abyss, while Lann Zhen arrived at the Heavenly Gate with a basket of fruits to bid farewell.
She looked at Qiann Yan’s serene expression and sighed softly, leaving with three steps then turning her head around.
Indeed, it’s impossible to return to the past; their destiny has ended.
"Xuan Shuang, I’m leaving."
Xuan Shuang, immersed in the past, startled upon hearing Qiann Yan’s words: "Sister, are you heading to the Void now?"
"Yes."
"Sister An Xin, I’ll cultivate diligently, won’t disgrace you."
...
Qiann Yan and Mo Yuhuai stepped into the Void, after a while, Mo Yuhuai said: "If Venerable weren’t smart, you surely would deceive me like this."
Qiann Yan: "That was ages ago, still dwelling on it."
"Impossible to forget. You, a Little Grass, unexpectedly learned to deceive."
"Hurry on, or I’ll leave you behind."
Mo Yuhuai’s spirit quickly emerged from his body, Qiann Yan’s spirit encased Mo Yuhuai’s spirit, cast countless spells, unsure if they could take him along.
Shall we try?
Otherwise, this Stone would definitely cause a fuss.
"If unsuccessful..."
Mo Yuhuai flared up: "It’ll succeed!"
Don’t spoil the mood, did you really think he wouldn’t get angry?
