IS Chapter 75

Chapter 75

Ye Zhuo collected the storage rings of Tai Huan and Tai Su, contemplating whether to destroy the bodies.

However, there were many observers to this fight, so destroying the bodies seemed pointless. Remembering that the Eight Divisions Revolving Flower was still blooming in place, Ye Zhuo planned to go and pluck it.

He turned around only to almost bump into Dragon Li Yuan’s chest.

——Why are you following so closely?

Moreover, so obviously blocking his path.

Ye Zhuo: “What are you doing?”

“Of course, congratulating you.” Li Yuan’s eyebrows curved into a smile, “Breaking the maze, finding the herbs, and also slaying two Human Immortals. Isn’t that worth celebrating? I remember when you were in the Integration stage, killing two Tribulation Transcenders would still take some effort, but now you can calmly slay Human Immortals. Your progress is truly remarkable.”

It seemed so, worthy of congratulations.

“Then how do you plan to congratulate me?” Ye Zhuo asked.

“Haven’t thought it through yet, for now, a verbal congratulations.” Li Yuan looked at Ye Zhuo with a smile, always wanting to reach out and touch something, but he refrained.

This person had just finished fighting, and the chilling killing intent on his body hadn’t dissipated yet. Truly beautiful.

So it was just a verbal congratulation, not wanting to test his sword. Ye Zhuo expressed a slight regret and sheathed his sword.

This dragon’s eyes were so strange, he wondered if it had eaten something wrong in the forest.

Ye Zhuo: “When did you arrive?”

Although he asked, Ye Zhuo didn’t expect an answer. There were precedents for this. Even if he had been there from beginning to end, it was something this dragon could do.

Ye Zhuo now just wanted to grab a refiner to re-forge the Reverse Scale Sword.

It would be best to completely sever the connection between Li Yuan and the sword. If that couldn’t be done, he’d settle for second best, so that when Dragon Li Yuan was nearby, the Reverse Scale Sword would have a reaction.

Otherwise, this long worm, relying on having the same aura as his Life-Bound Sword, could always follow silently.

——Did he think this was very gentlemanly?

He asked this, but saw that Dragon Li Yuan, upon hearing it, wasn’t ashamed at all, but instead turned the tables.

“So eager to know, could it be that the Second Palace Master Ye has a guilty conscience?” Li Yuan squinted at Ye Zhuo.

Ye Zhuo: “What guilt do I have?”

“Isn’t it because you were afraid I arrived too early and heard someone call me ‘spiritual pet’?”

Ye Zhuo: “You remember everything, your state of mind still needs to be broadened.”

Li Yuan didn’t want to bother with him at all.

“Oh, and there’s this.” Li Yuan poured out a pill and held it out to Ye Zhuo, “Eat one.”

“?” Ye Zhuo looked at the pill of unknown origin and didn’t want to eat it.

Li Yuan had expected this. Since Ye Zhuo didn’t move, he directly raised his hand and pressed the pill against the man’s lips.

Ye Zhuo frowned unhappily.

Li Yuan pushed further, and he ate it. The pill melted in his mouth, and sensing its effect, it seemed to be a longevity pill.

Li Yuan’s actions were increasingly perplexing to Ye Zhuo.

“Didn’t a longevity beast absorb some of your lifespan?” Li Yuan said, “Consider it a supplement.”

Slowly recalling the past event, Ye Zhuo was speechless.

He had been touched by a longevity beast, but it was just a few strands of lifespan, useless things. However, he no longer tried to understand Li Yuan.

“I went to see Brother Wei Sheng once midway. He also entered a large formation, with more people and more excitement than here.” Li Yuan said, unable to resist reaching out to tidy up the hair beside the man’s ear.

“They were slaying things called ‘Three Corpses’ over there. You’re slaying Fortune, Prosperity, Longevity, and Joy here. Seems about the same.”

Unlike them dragons, who never cared about these things.

His luck had always been good, and he had a lot of money. As for “Longevity,” needless to say, being a dragon, he could naturally live a long time.

As for “Joy,” although he was often angered by Ye Zhuo, overall, he couldn’t say he wasn’t happy.

With all four corners complete, why hadn’t he paid any price? Humans just thought too much.

Li Yuan: “Wanting to cut off everything, feeling that everything will become empty, you humans are really troublesome.”

As he spoke, Ye Zhuo completely swallowed the pill.

Li Yuan saw the slight movement of his throat as he swallowed.

——His gaze seemed to suddenly pause.

After a while, it slowly moved up, looking at the perfect shape of his jaw, at his thin, reddish lips.

…Looking very good.

His fingers seemed to have touched him when feeding the pill, but he couldn’t quite recall.

Before he could clearly recall the touch, Li Yuan realized he had already leaned down and lightly pecked at the man’s lips.

“???”

Ye Zhuo subconsciously reached for his sword.

He almost thought this dragon had suddenly gone crazy!

Realizing what he had just done, Li Yuan actually felt a bit relieved. Perhaps the price of being a dragon was losing some ability to control oneself.

As for the man’s angry expression that wanted to kill him, Li Yuan didn’t find it particularly dangerous.

…He even wanted to soothe him with another kiss.

Unfortunately, the man didn’t give him the chance—the next moment, Ye Zhuo decisively bypassed him and walked towards the center of the stone platform.

Li Yuan silently followed.

——The forest was deathly silent.

Ye Zhuo arrived in front of the Eight Divisions Revolving Flower.

When Tai Huan appeared, he had already left a sword aura here to protect it, lest it be affected by the battle.

If he couldn’t beat Tai Huan and Tai Su, this sword aura would have another purpose, destroying the flower, not letting it fall into the hands of others. Although such a thing was unlikely to happen.

In any case, the flower was still intact.

This flower grew from stone, without leaves or branches, its stem extremely thin, with shimmering light within.

Unfamiliar with its properties, rashly picking it would probably cause damage. Ye Zhuo remembered that there should be a medicinal cultivator nearby.

“Sect Leader Lin?”

Dragging Shen Xinge, whose speech had been silenced, with one hand, and pulling a few disciples with the other, Sect Leader Lin, who was planning to leave discreetly, heard the words, took a deep breath, and turned around stiffly.

——He only felt that he had left too late.
