Chapter 28 Leaving

　　The place that Yuege had chosen for her training was a secret realm within Shenlan Empire.
　　The entrance to this secret realm was located in a coastal town, not that far from Dongming Academy, and could be reached in four or five days by a Spirit Mara carriage.
　　
　　However, due to the characteristics of the Asura race, the group would stop at every new town to eat all the local delicacies and snacks.
　　Even Yuege was no exception – the temptation to eat was overwhelming.
　　She attributed her diminished resistance to delicacies due to the effects of purifying her bloodline into the Celestial Asura….
　　
　　The Asura Clan were all glutton, and the Celestial Asura was even more of an avatar of gluttony.
　　So, for this reason, Yuege felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
　　
　　It took them more than six days to reach the place where the entrance to the secret realm was, a city full of golden coloured flowers.
　　
　　This city is called Wenxi City, originally it was just a small town, unknown to the world.
　　However, after the appearance of the Secret Realm, it had gradually developed into one of the most prosperous cities in the Shenlan Empire, with an endless stream of cultivators coming and going.
　　
　　It was because this Wenxi Secret Realm was regarded as the best choice for cultivators below Kong Tian.
　　It’s not so dangerous, and it’s not too peaceful that it loses its original purpose… In the entire Lingyuan Continent, there are very few secret realms with such good conditions.
　　
　　A few people sat in the carriage, looking at the people traveling to and from this city, all of them were cultivators, and their clothes were different from the towns they had passed before, very new.
　　
　　They weren’t interested in the clothing, housing, and transportation of the human race, so naturally, only “food” could enter their eyes.
　　“Let’s find a restaurant for lunch, what do you think?” Qian Se was in high spirits and was unanimously approved.
　　
　　Then she drove off to the food and beverages street.
　　Yuege looked out the window of the car, a little distracted.
　　
　　After a long time, Yuege withdrew her gaze, and found out that Bai Ying was also staring out the window, unmoving.
　　
　　In the next second, she turned her head, tears already dripping in her eyes.
　　Yuege slightly had a headache and looked away from her.
　　I really didn’t want to touch your tail, ah….
　　
　　—–.
　　
　　Within Wenxi City, there was the acclaimed Ming Hua Restaurant.
　　
　　“Asura God above, is such a refreshing taste real?” Quan Se scooped up a spoonful of Ming gen flower congee and put it into her mouth, and couldn’t help but looked intoxicated.
　　Shen Yan was speechless, before burying her head and started eating.
　　Yuege was quite able to restrain himself, yet she was unable to resist the temptation of the full flower feast….
　　
　　Only Bai Ying, as a standard, non-vegetarian carnivore, fox girl sat silently while gnawing on a drumstick.
　　Her spiritual energy had been restored, so she hid her fox’s ears and tail. At the moment, she was looking at the three Asura women who were indulging in eating food, and her face was dazed.
　　
　　Yuege looked at her and said, “Racial characteristics, racial characteristics, no offense.”
　　Bai Ying: “……..”
　　
　　Apart from the secret realm, the most famous thing about Wenxi City is the Full Flower Feast.
　　
　　The Secret Realm is located here, and inevitably, there is an overflow of spiritual energy… In the long run, although Wenxi City hasn’t become a precious place for cultivation, it is still rich in spiritual energy, which is extremely suitable for spiritual plants to grow.
　　In the past, although Wenxi City had not been able to become a precious place for cultivation, it also had an abundance of spiritual qi, which was extremely suitable for the growth of spiritual plants. Among them, the Ming gen flower with its large golden petals was the most precious, and it was also the most suitable for Wenxi City’s spiritual qi environment.
　　
　　The life-loving residents of Wenxi City made dried flowers, flower cakes, precious spices, and even cooked food, vegetables, and congee with these flowers.
　　
　　Slowly, a special feature of Wenxi City emerged – the Ming gen Full Flower Feast.
　　There are thirty-three dishes in the feast, all of them are delicious.
　　
　　Can the Asura resist the temptation of such delicious food? Impossible.
　　Yuege’s cultivation was only in the Kong Ren, and she felt full after eating only a little. However, for the two seniors in the Daoist Immortal level….
　　
　　“These guests, it is the fault of this small shop’s poor hospitality, but the shop has run out of fresh ingredients and is really unable to supply more…” The owner of the restaurant was alarmed by this table of guests and explained with a bitter face.
　　This table of guests, have ordered eleven tables of full flower banquet, eaten since lunch break……. How do the shop deal with this?
　　
　　Our restaurant sells premium products, okay!
　　We just serve 30 tables of full flowers feasts a day!
　　As a result, this table has nearly spent half of the quota, and still wanted to eat, how much do you want us to serve, ah!
　　
　　–The owner of the restaurant cried out inwardly in grief and anger.
　　
　　However, he couldn’t really cry out.
　　If you can eat eleven tables of Full Flower Feast in one go, there must be someone with level above Deng Yun among the people at this table.
　　
　　Qian Se and Shen Yan looked disappointed at the words, then, they locked their eyes on the last congee bowl on the table.
　　Both wife and wife were the same Asura race, and they are competing for each other’s delicious food. Yuege, who had already eaten and drunk enough, sat cross-legged on the side to rest.
　　The Asura race is really a terrifying race.
　　
　　Before leaving the restaurant, Yuege bought some dried flowers and flower cakes and put them in the storage ring for safekeeping.
　　–To that foolish numb skull Zhu Yu.
　　Yuege thought with a straight face.
　　
　　—-.
　　
　　That night, the group stayed at an inn in the city to prepare for tomorrow’s entry into the secret realm.
　　
　　Yuege did not intend to rest by sleeping, she sat cross-legged and meditated.
　　Before long, she opened her eyes again.
　　Meditating at this time wasn’t very effective… after the experience, one could only go further.
　　
　　Yuege began to organize her thoughts.
　　
　　Previously, Qian Se had made it clear that she and Shen Yan wouldn’t make a casual move during the adventure – unless Yuege was in mortal danger.
　　“Of course, if the Young Master is too useless, she will have to suffer more on her own~” she said so, her eyes curving with a smile on her face.
　　
　　…Thinking of this, Yuege sighed and laid on her bed.
　　
　　YuGe was quietly wrapped around her wrist, fluorescent and untouched.
　　But it had been stained with blood, human blood, the blood of looters outside the auction house.
　　’Although it hadn’t killed them on the spot, but if no one had saved them, those people would have been ghosts by now, right?’
　　
　　’And in this adventure, I’m afraid it’s going to be a real fight, and people are going to perish on the spot.’
　　’Gotta be mentally prepared.’
　　
　　After thinking for a long time in such a mixed manner, she suddenly heard a small sound from outside.
　　……..It’s midnight, although the nightlife has just begun for modern people, but here, it’s already the time of silence.
　　Yuege alertly got up, restrained her breath, and walked gently to the door, looking out through the keyhole….
　　
　　Sheesh.
　　
　　There’s a woman with long white hair at my door!
　　There’s blood on her hands! It’s definitely not red juice! It’s blood – it’s a lot of blood!
　　She was standing the hallway by candlelight starring the horror film by herself-
　　A ghost girl!
　　
　　These wild thoughts existed for only two seconds before she overruled herself.
　　Oh wait, no… It’s ok, it’s just the little Duke Bai Ying.
　　
　　Yuege saw that Bai Ying was standing in front of her door, standing silently, wondering what she was thinking about.
　　Bright red droplets of blood ran down the paws, dripping onto the floor and making a soft sound.
　　
　　Yuege paused, directly pushing the door open and asked, “Bai Ying, what’s wrong?”
　　The little foxgirl turned around like she was in shock, fox ears standing up, tears about to fall.
　　Yuege busily raising her hand, bitter smile: “If you have something to say, just say it directly, no worries, no pressure.”
　　
　　Bai Ying was silent for a moment, skimmed her mouth, expression gradually became less teary eyed, drip drip drip looking pitiful.
　　But even so, those eyes were still constantly flowing with tears, it looks like a grieving little girl pretending to be strong, looking more pitiful.
　　
　　Yuege: “……..”
　　
　　Bai Ying casually wiped her tears with her sleeve – well this was a touching gesture too – and said, “Don’t worry about this, I have no control over this…”
　　Immediately, she said, “Anyway, thank you for taking care of me during this time. My injuries are all healed, and now it’s time for me to leave.”
　　
　　Yuege paused and tactfully reminded, “At this time…?”
　　‘If I don’t stop you in the middle of the night, are you going to leave on your own?’
　　
　　“Yes.” Bai Ying said coldly. “You participated in that previous Human Auction, then you should know that I was captured by the Human Race.”
　　“Now, I’ve made one of the human races pay the price, but the others who are still at large are in another level… it really makes me indignant.”
　　Yuege looked again at Bai Ying’s blood stained paws, and she thought she knew who the blood belonged to.
　　
　　The Beastkin had always held the most grudges.
　　I don’t know which unlucky bastard from the auction house actually came to this Wenxi City and was caught by Bai Ying – presumably, he was even asked for clues about his companions from his mouth.
　　
　　Yuege looked at the door on the side of the room, there was no movement from there.
　　With Shen Yan and Qian Se’s ability, they naturally would be able to detect Bai Ying’s actions… so it seemed that they were acquiescing.
　　
　　“I’ll see you later, then.” Yuege said with a smile as she thought about it.
　　There was still a bit of subtle reluctance in her heart.
　　No more rubbing snow-white fluffy ears or tails….
　　
　　Bai Ying gently nodded, hesitated for a moment, before picked a strand of hair, and in a couple of moves, wove it into a divine fox-faced knot and handed it to Yuege.
　　“This represents a promise from me to thank the Asura girl for saving my life. If you have any difficulties, you may come to the Beastkin Clan to seek me out.”
　　
　　As soon as Bai Ying’s words fell, she turned around and stealthily jumped out of the window.
　　In the blink of an eye, the slender figure disappeared without a trace.
　　
　　Yuege: “……..”
　　I understand the reasoning, but since I’ve already found out about you… Why are you jumping off from the window?
　　
　　And this knot, if I remember correctly, in the original, it was given to Jiufang slag by Bai Ying, right?
　　It’s just that the person who saved her life has been replaced after all… but then she should pass it on to Zhu Yu, shouldn’t she?
　　Is it possible that she forgot…?
　　
　　I don’t get it. I don’t get it. I don’t get it.
　　Whatever, it’s good that the little sister is happy.
　　
　　——.
　　
　　The next day, Yuege entered the secret realm.
　　The two seniors didn’t mention Bai Ying anymore. Once they entered the secret realm, they disappeared without a trace.
　　They must be eating and drinking somewhere.
　　
　　Compared to back then, their scent was more thoroughly concealed. Yuege let go of all her senses, and she didn’t feel the slightest sense of others or prying eyes.
　　As expected, being able to detect them following her before was only because they didn’t conceal themselves with all their mights, right….
　　
　　Yuege was cautious along the way.
　　Originally, she had thought that some cultivators would attack her.
　　After all, a woman who was alone and suspected of having Water Spirit Root should be a good target.
　　
　　However, two full days had passed, and no one had come….
　　She hasn’t even encountered any powerful magical beasts.
　　
　　Yuege couldn’t help but ponder.
　　Why is it so bland, not quite in line with the protagonist usual path?
　　
　　As it turned out.
　　It wasn’t long before Yuege ran into trouble.
