Liujia View.

It is the foremost forging sect in the East Sea Continent.

Not only is it skilled in various secret techniques for forging,

but it also claims to gather the world's most precious materials.

Zhu Diezhen traveled a great distance not to find someone from Liujia View to forge items,

but rather to search for a specific material.

The Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand.

Since she was forging items for Ye Yu, everything had to be top-notch.

To buy the Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand,

Zhu Diezhen brought over 90% of the assets of the Hall of Souls this time.

She had to secure it at all costs.

After paying an entrance fee of a hundred spirit stones,

Zhu Diezhen successfully entered the selling hall of Liujia View.

There, she met a stunning woman with an exquisite aura.

If Ye Yu were here, he would definitely recognize her.

This woman was none other than the lady from the previous simulated dream.

The mermaid, Su Yao.

At any time and in any place,

Su Yao was like a quietly blooming lily, unassuming, independent, and elegant.

Her beauty made Zhu Diezhen’s eyes light up involuntarily.

The elder in charge of Liujia View walked out from a nearby room,

placing a storage ring on the table in front of Su Yao.

“Everything you need is inside.

But we truly don’t have any Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Diezhen furrowed her brows slightly.

“You don’t have any Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand here?”

The elder’s expression turned peculiar as he asked, “What? Are you also here to buy the Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand, fairy?”

Zhu Diezhen nodded.

Seeing this, Su Yao turned to look at Zhu Diezhen.

She didn’t say a word.

The elder sighed, “We’ve run out of Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand.

This fairy here is just like you.

She also needs this item.”

Zhu Diezhen felt quite frustrated inside.

The Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand was extremely rare.

It was because she couldn’t find it in the Central Continent that she traveled such a long way to this place.

Yet here, it still wasn’t available.

Did she have to make another trip to other continents?

Su Yao was also very disappointed.

The Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand was something she needed too.

In the dream,

the ascended being Yang Xiao, a nine-headed flood dragon, had killed many mermaids

to reclaim the Sea Conqueror’s Trident,

forcing Su Yao to reveal herself.

Then, to protect Su Yao, Ye Yu was willing to perish alongside him.

From their conversation at that time,

it was evident that Yang Xiao valued the Sea Conqueror’s Trident greatly.

Now, after waking from the dream,

the Sea Conqueror’s Trident had mysteriously appeared by Su Yao’s side.

In Su Yao’s view, this bizarre occurrence was a kind of fate.

To prevent the tragedy from the dream from happening again,

Su Yao was determined to eliminate Yang Xiao and properly gift the Sea Conqueror’s Trident to Ye Yu.

However,

this task was not easy to accomplish.

Yang Xiao was an ascended being, a nine-headed serpent.

Su Yao was far from his match.

She would have to train again.

Before that,

to avoid being targeted by Yang Xiao,

Su Yao could only “modify” the Sea Conqueror’s Trident.

The Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand not only elevated the grade of magic tools,

but it also concealed one’s aura.

This was a feature Su Yao needed the most.

What a pity that Liujia View didn’t have it.

If even they didn’t have it,

it was likely that no other sect in the entire East Sea Continent would either.

Su Yao felt quite melancholic.

It seemed she needed to think of other ways to hide the aura of the Sea Conqueror’s Trident.

Just as Su Yao and Zhu Diezhen were about to leave,

the elder in charge suddenly spoke up, “Please wait, fairies.

I can see that both of you have considerable strength.

How about I point you in the right direction?

In the Youping Valley, there’s a waterfall.

Twenty miles to the east of the waterfall, there might be some Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand.

Someone has seen it there before.

However, a powerful demonic ape guards the area, making it difficult to obtain.

Why don’t you two fairies give it a try?

If you manage to get the Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand and have any extras, Liujia View would be willing to buy them at the highest price.”

Upon hearing this,

Su Yao’s expression brightened.

But Zhu Diezhen’s face turned serious.

She murmured, “Where is the Youping Valley?”

As someone from the Central Continent,

Zhu Diezhen truly didn’t know the geography of the East Sea Continent.

Su Yao softly said, “If you don’t know the way, I can guide you.

Since we’re both going for the Demon-Guarding Wubao Sand, perhaps we can help each other along the way.”

Zhu Diezhen smiled. “Thank you very much!”

After agreeing, the two of them left Liujia View.

On the way to Youping Valley,

Su Yao casually asked, “Friend, you’re not from the East Sea Continent, are you?”

Youping Valley was extremely famous in the East Sea Continent.

It was also quite easy to find.

Locals wouldn’t be unaware of it.

Zhu Diezhen nodded, “I’m indeed not from the East Sea Continent.

I come from the Central Continent.”

Su Yao’s eyes lit up.

Just as she was about to ask Zhu Diezhen if she knew someone named Ye Yu,

she held her tongue at the last moment.

In the dream,

Ye Yu was a person from the East Sea Continent,

while Zhu Diezhen came from the Central Continent.

Logically, they shouldn’t know each other.

So even if she asked,

it would just be a waste of effort.

Thus,

Su Yao sighed inwardly.

Ye Yu, where are you?

I miss you so much!

...

In the following twenty days,

Ye Yu was truly living a life of indulgence.

He and Yun Ciwu spent day and night together.

Every day, they practiced the Kun Character Technique.

Their diligence was truly off the charts.

During this time, Ye Yu’s cultivation level loosened up and even reached the peak of the Transformation Stage.

This was the best proof of hard work.

Yun Ciwu thoroughly enjoyed this process.

It was as if she had returned to the dream.

The time they spent together was sweet.

But Ye Yu had his own struggles.

This wasn’t that he didn’t enjoy being with Yun Ciwu,

but rather that Yun Ciwu was too clingy.

For twelve hours a day, she wanted to be by Ye Yu’s side.

She didn’t give him any opportunity to simulate the dream.

This was quite troubling.

During this period,

Ye Yu had tried to communicate with Yun Ciwu.

But she never left his side.

Ye Yu was quite helpless about it.

So after twenty days,

Ye Yu held Yun Ciwu’s hand and softly said, “I have some personal matters to attend to.

Will you wait for me at the Guiyuan Sect?

Once I finish my business,

I will definitely come find you.”

Yun Ciwu showed no signs of hesitation and nodded in agreement.

Her decisiveness took Ye Yu by surprise.

He had prepared a long speech for her

and was waiting to deal with Yun Ciwu’s questions.

But he didn’t expect her to be so straightforward.

This made Ye Yu feel a bit out of sorts.

Seeing Ye Yu’s shocked expression,

Yun Ciwu raised her hand to adjust his clothing.

“Darling, remember to come back and find me once you’re done!

I’ll be waiting for you at the Guiyuan Sect.”

Having said that,

Yun Ciwu left directly.

In fact,

she understood in her heart

that Ye Yu couldn’t possibly have only her as a partner.

So he couldn’t devote all his time to her.

Being able to be alone with him for twenty days was already extremely rare.

Since she had made the decision to accept everything about Ye Yu,

Yun Ciwu wouldn’t have any regrets.

Moreover, in her storage ring, a book lay quietly.

One Hundred Ways to Make a Man Completely Devoted to You.

Among them,

the very first rule was

not to be too clingy.

Men don’t like being tied down.

Thus, Yun Ciwu left so decisively.

The second rule in the book stated that maintaining an appropriate distance would always keep a man feeling a sense of freshness.

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

This was all knowledge!

Yun Ciwu walked away with light steps. Although she didn’t look back,

she could clearly sense through her spiritual awareness

that Ye Yu was standing there, staring blankly in the direction she left.

What was written in the book was indeed true.

A perfect smile formed on Yun Ciwu’s lips.

With this book in hand,

Bu Lingfei, what do you have to compete with me?
