……
Speechless all the way.
The jade boat glides through the sea of clouds at an extremely fast speed.
On their way back, they also witnessed the changes taking place in various parts of the wasteland.
The sky seemed to have become higher and more distant, and the laws seemed to have become more stable, but the spiritual energy between heaven and earth seemed to be flowing away at an extremely slow pace.
At the same time, they also saw many once glorious and immortal sects broken and reduced to ruins, clearly having been "purged" by Kunpengzi!
It seems that Kunpengzi's declaration that "there are no gods in the lower realm" was not an empty promise!
He was truly sweeping away those lineages that had participated in the siege of him or had intricate connections with the Upper Realm with swift and decisive action!
The entire wasteland is undergoing an unprecedented reshuffling and upheaval!
Looking at all this, Shi Hao was filled with emotion.
As expected of a descendant of the Ten Fiends, they are indeed ruthless!
He must improve his strength as soon as possible and prepare to go to the upper realm!
Finally, after several days.
The familiar outline of that small village, filled with tranquility and peace, reappeared at the edge of their sight.
We've arrived at Ishimura!
Feeling the familiar and warm atmosphere below, Shi Hao felt a strong sense of belonging.
He stowed the small boat and was the first to gracefully land.
Following closely behind was a witch filled with curiosity about this mysterious village.
Next, there was Yuechan, her expression complex and her eyes lowered in meekness.
Finally, there was the main body of Yuechan, bound by an invisible force, like a delicate puppet, with an expressionless face!
When the figures of this "group of four" appeared clearly in the village square, the villagers of Shicun, who had already heard the commotion and were eagerly waiting, instantly erupted into a frenzy!
"Brother Hao is back!"
"Look, look! Brother Hao brought back another beautiful lady this time?"
"And look, those two fairy sisters in white... they look exactly alike! Could they be twins?" A sharp-eyed kid spotted the interesting detail and exclaimed immediately.
"Wow! Brother Hao is awesome! Not only did he bring back a vixen sister as his wife, but he also brought back a pair of fairy sisters?! That's amazing!" The kids erupted in cheers filled with admiration and envy once again.
The villagers were also talking about it, their eyes filled with surprise and gossip as they looked at Shi Hao.
Shi Hao was left speechless, both amused and exasperated by the villagers' various outrageous speculations.
What? Three daughters-in-law? And twin sisters?
He quickly coughed twice, trying to explain, "Ahem! Everyone, please don't make a fuss! This is the witch sister from the Intercepting Heaven Sect, she's my friend, you've all met her before. As for these two..."
He glanced at the beautiful but cold-faced Yuechan's secondary body beside him, and the puppet-like Yuechan's primary body, his eyes darting around before a smile appeared on his face. "They... are my personal maids! You've met one of them before."
"Oh—! We get it! We all get it!" Shi Linhu and the other men in the hunting team smiled knowingly and gave Shi Hao a thumbs up. "You're really something, Hao! You even managed to 'invite' a fairy back to be your maid!"
Shi Hao: "..."
Just then, Shi Ziling, Qin Yining and her husband, as well as Mr. Shi Zhongtian, arrived after hearing the news.
When the three elders saw that Shi Hao had not only returned safely, but also had another stunningly beautiful woman by his side, enough to make the world tremble, their expressions were quite interesting.
Shi Ziling and Qin Yining exchanged a glance and shook their heads helplessly, sighing inwardly: Who does this child take after? How come he manages to attract so many... romantic entanglements wherever he goes?
Especially Qin Yining, when her gaze fell on the almost identical appearance and temperament of Yuechan's main body and secondary body, as the former Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Mending Sect, she seemed to understand something instantly, and couldn't help but laugh and cry when she looked at her son.
Grandpa Shi Zhongtian stroked his beard and laughed heartily. He walked over to Shi Hao, patted him hard on the shoulder, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction and a hint of expectation.
"Good lad! Not bad! Not bad at all!" The old man grinned from ear to ear. "It seems that our Shi family... will have a prosperous future and a thriving lineage! I, your grandfather... am afraid that I will soon be able to hold many, many great-grandchildren! Hahaha!"
"Cough cough cough!" Shi Hao blushed at the old man's blunt words and quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa! What are you saying! I came back this time on important business!"
Meanwhile, in a corner of the crowd, Ah Man, who had been silently observing everything, watched the young master surrounded by a radiant beauty, now with another stunningly beautiful woman by his side.
A subtle hint of sadness and disappointment flickered in her clear eyes.
"Young Master... seems to be getting more and more powerful, and more and more... popular." She lowered her head and muttered softly, feeling a pang of jealousy. "He already has Sister Huo Ling'er by his side, and now he has two more such beautiful fairy sisters... Young Master... is really too lecherous... Will he still remember A-Man in the future?"
A young girl's thoughts are like willow catkins in early spring, sensitive yet full of confusion.
……
Shi Hao was unaware of A Man's subtle emotional change.
After exchanging brief pleasantries with the villagers and elders, he led the still somewhat reserved and uncomfortable witch, the secondary body of Yuechan, and the main body of Yuechan, who resembled an exquisite doll, to the willow tree at the entrance of the village.
The Willow Goddess and the Ruthless Empress were already waiting there.
Their calm gazes, as if piercing through endless time and space, landed on the newly arrived group, especially lingering on the Moon Goddess for a moment.
"Goddess Liu, Empress Sister." Shi Hao stepped forward and bowed respectfully. "Disciple has returned."
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the two supreme beings, his expression becoming solemn: "This time, besides visiting my family, I have an important matter to ask you, Master."
"Oh?" Willow God's thoughts gently echoed, "Speak freely."
The ruthless empress nodded slightly, signaling him to continue.
Shi Hao took a deep breath and slowly stated his decision after careful consideration: "This disciple feels that the laws of heaven and earth in the eight lower realms are becoming increasingly restrictive. If I want to continue breaking through and pursue a higher realm, going to the upper realm is imperative!"
"This disciple plans to... depart for the Upper Realm after settling some trivial matters in the Lower Realm!"
really.
Upon hearing Shi Hao's decision, the Willow God seemed unsurprised. His countless willow branches swayed gently, rustling softly, as if in agreement.
"Yes, your choice is correct. The lower realm is ultimately a cage, with flawed laws and an incomplete path. With your current foundation and potential, only by going to the vast upper realm can you truly leap over the dragon gate and soar through the nine heavens."
He paused, then added, “Go in peace. The Upper Realm is dangerous, but it also holds opportunities. As your master and disciple, I will pave the way for you. When you reach the Upper Realm, if you encounter any insurmountable difficulties, simply silently recite my true name, and I will respond.”
Willow Goddess's words undoubtedly reassured Shi Hao.
With this supreme being as his backing, he was full of confidence for his upcoming trip to the upper realm!
When the ruthless empress heard the news that Shi Hao was going to the Upper Realm, a very rare and subtle hint of excitement seemed to flash in her normally calm eyes.
However, He ultimately said nothing, but slowly closed his eyes again, as if he had entered a meditative state.
With Liu Shen's affirmation and support, Shi Hao felt much more at ease.
He bowed again, and then turned his gaze to the woman beside him who had been keeping her head down and remaining silent (aceb).
He knew that there was one important thing he had to do before heading to the upper realm.
Shi Hao did not speak directly in front of Liu Shen and the Ruthless Empress. Instead, after returning to his stone house, he chased away the witch who was bursting with curiosity and wanted to stay and eavesdrop, leaving Yue Chan's secondary body alone.
Inside the stone house, the atmosphere became somewhat silent and awkward for a moment.
Yuechan lowered her head, nervously twisting the hem of her clothes with both hands, not daring to look Shi Hao in the eye, her heart filled with trepidation and unease.
She had no idea what this little devil wanted to do by leaving her alone. Was he going to...?
Just as she was lost in thought, Shi Hao's voice unexpectedly rang out calmly:
"Yuechan".
"Hmm?" Yuechan's delicate body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously raised her head, just in time to meet Shi Hao's calm and deep eyes.
“I want to…” Shi Hao looked at her and slowly began to speak, his tone carrying a hint of solemnity, “to do you a favor.”
"Help me?" Yuechan was a little confused, not understanding what he meant.
Shi Hao nodded, his gaze sharpening: "I'll help you completely merge with your main body!"
"And!" he emphasized, "it's driven by your own will!"
boom! ! !
Like a thunderclap from the heavens, it exploded in Yuechan's mind!
Her eyes widened instantly, as she stared at Shi Hao in disbelief!
Merging with the main body? And under the guidance of one's own consciousness?
This...how is this possible? !
She knew very well that although the main body and the secondary body came from the same source, the main body had absolute control over the secondary body!
So-called fusion often involves the main body devouring the secondary body to strengthen itself!
A fusion led by the consciousness of a secondary body? This is simply unheard of!
"You...you're telling the truth?" Yuechan's voice trembled uncontrollably as she looked at Shi Hao, her eyes filled with excitement and doubt.
And a trace of... a desire that she herself was unwilling to admit!
If she could truly take control of her own consciousness and merge the power of her main body with the Dao fruit... then she would not only be able to break free from the identity of this body, but also gain true freedom!
They can rise to the top in one step, possessing unimaginable power and future!
But... could she trust this petty thug in front of her? And why would he help her?
Countless thoughts flashed through Yuechan's mind in an instant, filled with struggle and hesitation.
Looking at her excited yet doubtful expression, Shi Hao seemed to see through her thoughts and said calmly, "You don't need to doubt my abilities, nor do you need to guess my purpose."
"I'll help you for one reason: you're still nominally my 'maid.' Your master wants to eliminate you, which is disrespectful to me, so I can't just stand by and do nothing."
"Secondly..." Shi Hao's face revealed a playful smile, "I've never liked leaving any hidden dangers. Your original body harbors too much hostility towards me, and keeping her around will only cause trouble in the end. Rather than letting her find a chance to retaliate in the future, it's better to... completely 'reform' her and turn her into one of our own."
"As for you..." Shi Hao looked at the still hesitant look in Yuechan's secondary body's eyes, his tone becoming more serious, "I know that although you and your main body come from the same source, you have long since developed different wills. She sees you as a tool, and even wants to eliminate you. Are you willing to live in her shadow forever, and even be devoured by her in the end?"
"Think about it, as long as you nod, you can gain true freedom! You can control your own destiny! You can have a future that is no less than that of any prodigy!"
Shi Hao's words were like the whispers of a devil, full of temptation.
It completely struck at the deepest desires and resentments in Yuechan's heart.
Yes!
Freedom! Power! Take control of your own destiny!
Isn't this exactly what she has always dreamed of?
