Little Sparrow hid behind her master, clicking her tongue as she watched the scene unfold.
Shi Hao stood there with his back to the women, looking completely unconcerned.
“Master, let’s leave,” Zhuque whispered.
Shi Hao nodded.
He picked Little Sparrow up in his arms and said to Willow Deity,
“I’m leaving first. I’ll wait for her at the Hundred Severing Mountains.”
Willow Deity smiled.
“Mm. Yun Xi should arrive from the Upper Realm today. The Hundred Severing Mountains have already been open for several days, so she’ll most likely enter them to seek an opportunity to break through.”
“I know. I’ll bring her back. I’m off.”
With that, he carried Little Sparrow away at high speed.
After Shi Hao departed, Willow Deity turned her gaze toward Witch, Yue Chan, Qing Yi, Huo Ling’er, Yu Rou, and the others, continuing her lecture.
Huo Ling’er and Yu Rou were included, but the real culprits were Yue Chan, Witch, and Qing Yi, who had brought them over in the first place.
Although everything had technically started because of Shi Hao, he was her husband.
Naturally, she wasn’t going to scold him, so the others became the target of her admonishment instead.
After leaving with Little Sparrow in his arms, Shi Hao let out a sigh of relief.
“Master, what are you afraid of? None of this was your fault. Who could’ve known they’d suddenly barge in? Besides, you and Lady Willow were in the middle of something special. They disrupted the balance, so they simply ended up filling in.”
“It would’ve been nothing, but Ling’er and Yu Rou being there made things… complicated. This is all Witch’s, Yue Chan’s, and Qing Yi’s fault.”
Listening to Zhuque defend him so earnestly, Shi Hao couldn’t help smiling.
“I knew I didn’t spoil you for nothing.”
He laughed.
“That’s right. None of it was my fault—it was all theirs.”
He kissed Zhuque several times before setting her down.
Grinning, Zhuque leaned close and whispered,
“So… how did it feel?”
Shi Hao naturally understood what she meant.
“It was… wonderful. I’d like to experience it again, but Willow Deity would never agree.”
Thinking of Willow Deity, he could only sigh helplessly.
Zhuque giggled.
“It’s fine, Master. As long as Lady Willow doesn’t find out—or as long as it isn’t Ling’er and the others—it’ll be okay.”
Following Shi Hao for so long, she’d learned plenty of bad habits from him while ignoring the good ones.
Her goal now was simple: earn more of her master’s favor.
The more he doted on her, the faster she could grow and eventually evolve into a true Primordial Vermilion Bird.
Besides, it wasn’t as though she would be the one getting into trouble.
After leaving Willow Deity’s small world, Shi Hao brought Zhuque beyond the borders of Stone Village.
Once he was certain Willow Deity could no longer sense them, he finally asked what she’d meant earlier.
“Master, did you forget? The Lower Realm isn’t filled only with your ladies. There are beautiful women everywhere. As long as you work a little harder and spread your family line around, surely Lady Willow can’t keep track of all of them.”
Shi Hao’s eyes lit up. The source of this chapter is g.com.
She had a point.
If he wanted to experience something like before again, there was no need to seek out Ling’er or Yu Rou specifically.
There were countless women beyond Stone Village.
“Do you have any recommendations?” he asked quietly.
“Of course!”
Zhuque nodded enthusiastically.
“Master, don’t you like foxes? I always see you making Witch reveal her fox tail. I know where the Sky Fox Clan is. Their fox spirits are incredibly beautiful—every one of them is stunning.”
She paused before adding with a mischievous smile,
“And there’s also the Mermaid Clan. Master… don’t you want to try a mermaid?”
Shi Hao stared at her in surprise.
“A mermaid?”
That possibility hadn’t even crossed his mind, though he remembered there really was a Mermaid Clan in the Lower Realm.
“You mean… human on top and fish below?”
“Exactly the kind you’re thinking of.”
Zhuque smiled.
“I know which region they live in. If you want, we can go right now.”
She understood her master well enough by now.
As long as someone was beautiful, their race hardly mattered to him.
Shi Hao thought for a moment before shaking his head.
“Maybe another time. First I’ll bring my wife Yun Xi home. That comes first.”
Though admittedly, he was curious about mermaids.
“Whenever you want, Master, I’ll take you there.”
“To the Hundred Severing Mountains.”
Shi Hao gently patted Zhuque.
She immediately understood, transformed into her true Vermilion Bird form, and took to the skies with Shi Hao on her back.
The Hundred Severing Mountains
The Hundred Severing Mountains were an extraordinary place.
They had opened several days earlier, attracting countless geniuses and prodigies eager to seek their own opportunities and advance to greater realms.
The attraction wasn’t limited to the Lower Realm.
Even talented cultivators from the Upper Realm had descended.
Among them was the Celestial Clan.
Leading their expedition was the Celestial Clan’s Saintess, Yun Xi.
Accompanying her were several outstanding young women from other great factions: Hong Huang, the sisters Lan Yu, and Zi Yan, all of whom came from backgrounds no less prestigious than the Celestial Clan.
Several elderly female elders traveled with them as protectors.
As one of the later groups to enter, Yun Xi led Hong Huang, the Lan Yu sisters, Zi Yan, and the elders toward the Divine Spring.
That was their destination.
Along the way, the younger women handled the ferocious beasts they encountered themselves, while the elders refrained from intervening except against especially powerful opponents, allowing the younger generation to temper themselves in real combat.
Now, the Lower Realm offered the perfect opportunity to gain experience.
Yun Xi also fought alongside the others, while the elders only stepped in when absolutely necessary.
Eventually, the group reached a wide, open clearing.
One of the elders called for a rest.
Hong Huang, Lan Yu, and Zi Yan all breathed sighs of relief.
“Yun Xi, have some water.”
Hong Huang handed her a waterskin.
Yun Xi accepted it with a gentle smile.
“Thank you.”
She parted her rosy lips and drank deeply.
After such prolonged fighting, she was genuinely thirsty.
When she finished, she returned the waterskin with another grateful smile.
After a short rest, the group resumed their journey.
Some time later, after overcoming countless obstacles, they finally reached the mountain where the Divine Spring was located.
But the moment they arrived, the sight before them left everyone frozen in astonishment.
Shi Hao was sitting beside a fire, roasting the meat of a ferocious beast.
Hearing their arrival, both he and Zhuque looked up.
“You’re finally here.”
Shi Hao set down the roasted beast leg in his hand and stood.
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long, my wife Yun Xi. You took forever.”
His eyes immediately locked onto the graceful woman dressed in white.
Her long violet hair alone was enough for him to recognize her instantly.
Walking straight toward her, he smiled brightly.
“I’ve missed you so much, my wife Yun Xi. Now hurry home with me so we can start a family.”
His declaration instantly made Yun Xi, Hong Huang, the Lan Yu sisters, Zi Yan, and the others glare at him angrily.
