Meng Qi was totally stupefied, but the white-robed manâs eyes were clear, and his mind couldnât be clearer still.
Meng Qi stayed unmoved for a long time, but Yun Qingyan suddenly took a step forward. His hand raised up to pinch Meng Qiâs slender jaw.
The temperature of his fingertips was actually warm, but the area where their skins made contact was so hot that Meng Qi almost mistook it for a burning flame.
Meng Qi took a step back subconsciously, tilted her head slightly, and tried to break free from Yun Qingyanâs fingers.
âHahaâŠâ Yun Qingyan suddenly laughed in a low voice. So, it turned out that this girl didnât feel anything at all⊠Up until a moment ago, he really almost thought that Meng Qi didnât care about the things that happened between them. He thought that in Meng Qiâs eyes, he was no different from Ji Wujiong, Chu Tianfeng, and Qin Xiumo⊠just one of her many patients she wanted to save, and nothing more!
But it turned out that he had misunderstood her.
Yun Qingyanâs eyes softened. âForget it.â He waved his hand casually, seemingly in a good mood, âYou can take as many as you want. It doesnât matter if you pick them all.â
âNoâŠno need to kiss?â Meng Qi was startled and asked in a low voice. She didnât notice it herself, but when she said that, her voice carried upon a faint trace of⊠disappointment.
âWhat about the Zilan lotus seeds?â Meng Qi paused for a moment before murmuring again.
The corners of Yun Qingyanâs lips raised slightly, and it indeed seemed that he was in a much better mood now. âItâs all yours.â He said again.
âThank you, Sovereign Qingyan!â Meng Qi sighed in relief and quickly became ecstatic again. She looked at Yun Qingyan and hurriedly added: âPhoenix fruits can be refined into Nirvana Pills. After refining them, I will give the produced pills to you. As for meâŠâ Meng Qi looked up at the hundreds of phoenix fruits hanging on the big tree, âI will keep ten⊠no! Five will do!â
Meng Qi hesitated for a moment: âAs for the Zilan lotus seeds, this particular lotus has never been seen in Three Thousand Worlds for hundreds of years, so the formula of the medicines utilizing it has also been lost. At this moment, I still donât know how to use it yet, but I will definitely figure it out. ThereforeâŠâ
Before Meng Qi finished speaking, Yun Qingyan waved his hand and interrupted. Didnât she need him to do something? He gave her a glance.
The girl in the blue robe lifted her head again and cautiously said to him: âI⊠I cannot use aura yet, but after three days, I want to come here to pick the pods.â She asked, âIs it okay?â
The next instant, Yun Qingyan flicked his sleeve, sending a burst of strong wind towards the lotus pods.
âAh!â Meng Qi exclaimed in surprise. In a blink of an eye, all the mature lotus pods in the pond had been neatly piled up in front of her. âThank you, Sovereign Qingyan!â Meng Qi was so excited that she hurriedly leaned over and swept all the lotus pods into her storage space item.
âPhoenix fruits need special storage to keep them preserved before they get refined into pills.â When Meng Qi saw Yun Qingyanâs gaze swept towards the tree full of phoenix fruit, she quickly said, âI donât have anything like that right now.â
âLetâs seeâŠâ Yun Qingyan was really in a good mood. He thought for a while and asked, âShengsheng bottleâŠor is it a vessel made of the branches of a phoenix tree?â
âBoth!â Meng Qi nodded vigorously, âSovereign Qingyan, you are really amazing! How come you know everything?â
Yun Qingyan chuckled lightly. The initially awkward atmosphere between the two seemed to have completely dissipated. He turned his head and met the girlâs lively eyes, brighter than even the stars. Meng Qiâs voice was actually a little sweet and soft, which didnât match her usual calm appearance. Being called âSovereign Qingyanâ in such a sweet voice and being looked at with such adoring eyes, there was no way Yun Qingyan didnât feel good. He raised his hand, and the next moment, a small exquisite wooden box appeared on his palm.
âPhoenix wood box!â Meng Qi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes brighter than before. She then raised her head and looked at Yun Qingyan: âApart from here, it is said that the only remaining phoenix tree in the Three Realms is in the ancestral land of the celestial demon phoenix clan. Sovereign Qingyan, where did you get this box?â
The Shengsheng bottle was a magic tool. Although the refining process was complicated and consumed expensive materials, the bottle was still available in the Three Thousand World. Made correctly, a Shengsheng bottle could hold all kinds of things and preserve them from deterioration, a trait that made it very popular among medical cultivators.
Of course, including Meng Qi!
âA hundred years ago, I had a duel against someone of my generation from the phoenix clan.â Yun Qingyan said in a light tone, âHe lost a piece of phoenix wood to me.â
âAmazing!â Meng Qi praised sincerely.
When Yun Qingyan mentioned the phoenix clan, he suddenly remembered something, âDuring the Grand Tournament a while ago, the last thing Ji Wujiong summoned from the array was a celestial demon phoenix.â He said, âHe and the phoenix clan should have some relationship.â
âHmmâŠâ Meng Qi nodded.
Meng Qi almost jumped up in a panic. She finally remembered what had been nagging her mind! Beyond The Heaven! Su Junmo, Sikong Xing, and her other friends were still waiting for her report!
As a result, not only did she have no chance to ask Yun Qingyan if she could tell others about him. Later, she even fell unconscious for so long⊠at least more than a day.
Sikong Xing, Sister Xue, and the others should have left for Starfallen Sea, hadnât they?!
Meng Qi no longer remembered the phoenix fruits and hurriedly rummaged into her storage space.
She forgot! Her Beyond The Heavenâs jade slip seemed to have fallen into Yun Qingyanâs room that day, and she hadnât had time to retrieve it later. And she also couldnât use aura now and couldnât enter Beyond The Heaven!
Meng Qi frowned and retracted her hand.
âWhatâs wrong?â Seeing her frowning, Yun Qingyan asked.
âMy friends said earlier that they would come to Starfallen Sea to rescue me⊠Itâs all my fault!â Meng Qiâs brows furrowed even tighter. âThey decided to venture deep into Starfallen Sea because of me. Just to take me home safely.â
âSovereign Qingyan.â Meng Qi said, âI seemed to have left my Beyond The Heaven jade slip in your previous room. I want to look for it.â
âYou canât use aura nowâŠâ
âI can give it a try.â Meng Qi said, âI am a Golden Core cultivator, so the consequences of the spiritual sea shock should not be too serious. I can give it a try; no, I must give it a try!â
âOne more thing. Sovereign Qingyan, can I tell my friends that I am staying with you in the Starfallen Sea? I have to ensure them of my safety so they can dispel their worries.â She paused, âOtherwise, they wonât believe that I, a Golden Core cultivator, can survive by myself in the Starfallen Sea.â
Yun Qingyan gave Meng Qi a meaningful look: âOkay!â
âThank you, Sovereign Qingyan.â Meng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, âWhen can I go to find my Beyond The Heaven jade slip now?â
âMeng QiâŠâ Yun Qingyan called her name and stared at her for a moment.
He suddenly handed her a small and shiny white jade token.
âWhat is this?â Meng Qi was puzzled.
âEven if there is a phoenix wooden box, it is difficult for you to pick all the phoenix fruits at once. This manor is called Luoyun Manor, and this token allows you to enter every area in the manor freely, just likeâŠcoughââ Yun Qingyan coughed lightly: ââŠjust like the manorâs owner.â
âOh.â Meng Qi nodded, âThank you, Sovereign Qingyan. I will definitely return it before I leave.â
Meng Qi put away the token and turned to look around: âThe previous roomâŠâ
âAre you going to see Su Junmo and Sikong Xing?â Yun Qingyan asked.
âIâll go for you.â Yun Qingyan said.
âCan you?â Meng Qiâs eyes lit up, âThen I will trouble you! Sovereign Qingyan, can you go now? Iâm very worried. Maybe they have entered the Starfallen Sea now.â
Yun Qingyan gave Meng Qi another meaningful look, but nodded without a word. He didnât even need a jade slip â with a flick of his sleeve, he arrived in Beyond The Heaven in an instant.
Standing on the highest floating island, Yun Qingyan flicked his fingers. In less than half an incense stick time, Su Junmo arrived, and he quickly walked to Yun Qingyan.
âLord.â The white fox demon bowed respectfully.
