Chapter 1457 - 517: Becoming a Son-in-law Might Be a Good Idea
Just thinking about it, Little Wuya felt uncontrollably excited.
Although she rarely spoke of it, every time she saw her master reunited with family and saw Human Clan children accompanied by their parents, Little Wuya couldn’t help but feel sad.
She longed to see her own parents, to meet her brothers and sisters from the Phoenix Clan.
She also wanted to ask her parents why they abandoned her back then.
But she had never voiced these thoughts.
Because she knew that her master had already tried his best to help her find them.
Originally, she had lost all hope.
But now, the Phoenix Clan had reappeared, and they were likely in Jiunie Mountain.
"Boss, I... I want to visit Jiunie Mountain to get to the bottom of this."
Little Wuya couldn’t help but plead.
"Little Wuya, don’t rush. Even if you hadn’t asked, we would still head to Jiunie Mountain. But this matter needs careful planning."
Ye Lingyue understood Little Wuya’s feelings, but the rumored Phoenix Clan’s nest in Jiunie Mountain was ultimately just hearsay.
Even if the legends were true, Ye Lingyue wasn’t entirely confident she could break into Jiunie Mountain.
Previously, at Yunmeng Swamp, Ye Lingyue had grappled with the Ice Phoenix and Fire Phoenix, and their strength was impressive.
That was merely a young Phoenix Couple; if they went deep into the Phoenix’s lair, who knows if the proud Phoenix Clan would accept these Humans.
Ye Lingyue didn’t express these worries. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Little Zhiyo nearby.
Since hearing that the Phoenix Clan might reside in Jiunie Mountain, Little Zhiyo had been dazing out.
The usually exuberant Little Zhiyo now had a hint of worry in his big blue eyes.
Without a word, he broke free from Little Wuya’s embrace and walked out, full of thoughts.
Little Wuya was about to find her clan.
Little Zhiyo was consumed with this thought.
If she found her clan, she would possibly live with them, returning to her parents.
Wouldn’t that mean he would be separated from Little Wuya? Just thinking about it brought tears to Little Zhiyo’s eyes.
His little wife was going to leave.
Little Zhiyo sat sorrowfully by the ancient well in Pan Village.
"Little guy, what are you doing here?"
Guangzi silently sat down beside Little Zhiyo.
"I’m contemplating life, I want some peace."
Little Zhiyo waved his paw, expressing impatience.
"Contemplating life? With your intellect? Come on, aren’t you just worried your woman will leave you? Show some backbone, there are untold beasts out there, at worst, Ling Yue can help you find another."
Guangzi teased Little Zhiyo.
"Shut up, I’m very devoted, I only like Little Wuya, no one else will do."
Little Zhiyo continued to brood.
"If you’re so reluctant to part with Little Wuya, you could marry into the Phoenix Tribe. Then she’d still be your little wife."
Guangzi sneered, admitting he didn’t understand romantic feelings, but he could vaguely comprehend Little Zhiyo.
This feeling was probably similar to how he couldn’t bear to part with his sister.
As a child, because he was particularly attached to Ye Lingyue, even his mother Yun Sheng would sometimes tease, saying if he continued like this, what would happen if his sister got married in the future.
Guangzi was deeply troubled by this, losing all appetite for a while.
Somehow, Guangzi heard that if he found a "marrying-in" brother-in-law, his sister wouldn’t leave.
So for a long time afterwards, Guangzi bothered Ye Lingyue, asking her to find a "marrying-in" brother-in-law.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t found this brother-in-law before his sister got involved.
"If marrying in means I can always be with Little Wuya?"
Little Zhiyo instantly perked up, his sapphire-like blue eyes sparkling brightly.
"I’ve decided, once we reach Jiunie Mountain, I’m determined to marry in!"
With that, Little Zhiyo hurried off to find Little Wuya.
"Hey, Little Zhiyo, do you even understand what ’marrying in’ means?"
Guangzi hadn’t finished explaining before Little Zhiyo disappeared.
"But speaking of, would the Phoenix Clan accept an outsider beast as a marrying-in son-in-law? I remember even in the Divine Realm, the Phoenix Clan was very proud. Wait, what beast species is Little Zhiyo? Seems my sister never mentioned it."
Guangzi scratched his head, unable to figure out Little Zhiyo’s origins, so he temporarily set the matter aside.
After the mysterious Array Master appeared that day, Ye Lingyue and others waited a few more days but didn’t see the mysterious Array Master entering the village again.
Due to concerns about the Phoenix Clan, Ye Lingyue didn’t immediately go to Jiunie Mountain. She planned to devise a way to lure out that "mysterious Array Master."
"Boss, that Array Master has been fooled once. Are you sure this plan will really draw him out again?"
Learning that Ye Lingyue still wanted to lure the "mysterious Array Master," the group wasn’t very supportive.
Little Zhiyo and Captain An’s experiences showed that the "mysterious Array Master" was inhuman and utterly ruthless.
"The Array Master went to great lengths, setting up so many Water Spirit Arrays, aiming for Water Bright Stones. The Water Bright Stones must be crucial to him; he surely will descend again to search for Water Bright Stones. But this time, we’ll just quietly track him."
Ye Lingyue said, pulling out a Water Bright Stone.
"Hey, isn’t this the Water Bright Stone from Shou Village? No, the Muddied Energy on it is gone, and the Water Spirit is clearer than before!"
Little Wuya instantly recognized the Water Bright Stone Ye Lingyue was holding.
She was even more astonished that Ye Lingyue held the Water Bright Stone without a scratch.
Previously, Captain An was frostbitten by a Water Bright Stone, losing his right hand, but Ye Lingyue was handling the Water Bright Stone as if in casual conversation.
"I’ve purified this Water Bright Stone and regathered some Water Spirit power. I’m absolutely confident this Water Bright Stone will lure out that Array Master."
After Ye Lingyue’s Cauldron Breath purification, the Water Bright Stone grew even larger, resembling a glistening Crystal Stone under sunlight.
This Water Bright Stone was now a superior grade Water Bright Crystal.
This kind of Water Bright Crystal is rare, possibly existing among only one in ten thousand Water Bright Stones, achievable only by someone like Ye Lingyue with her extraordinary Cauldron Breath.
Even Guangzi from the Divine Realm couldn’t resist swallowing when seeing this Water Bright Crystal.
"I plan to place this Water Bright Crystal in one of the villages. No doubt the mysterious Array Master will visit again in a few days."
Having agreed upon the plan, Ye Lingyue and the group began waiting for the mysterious Array Master’s second appearance.
