IS Chapter 159

Opening his eyes, Ye Zhuo felt a belated surge of annoyance.

A four-legged dragon cub. Here, with him.

This was all Dragon Li Yuan’s doing!

If he had the time to add and subtract, calculating tenths and hundredths, settling the matter would be simple. He could slam Li Yuan’s head against one of the pillars of their underground palace, and the next day the matter would be closed.

Cultivating in the Abyss Sea. So happy?

The birds chirping in the trees were annoyingly loud, and the spiritual sea was no quieter. Ye Zhuo’s expression was shifting and uncertain.

And there was a golden dragon hiding at the door, peeking at him. What was there to see? Had they never seen a Human Immortal Realm cultivator before?

With such beautiful eyes, why did he look so fierce when he looked at people? Jin Ming really couldn’t understand.

Achieving such a major breakthrough, he had been ready to set off firecrackers and celebrate, but how had he suddenly seemed angry again?

So capricious and moody, how did his brother put up with it?

He really wanted to go up and ask what was wrong, but he also felt that the moment he opened his mouth, a sword might come flying at his head. A Human Immortal sword strike, he should still avoid its edge.

Standing in place, Jin Ming had a strange feeling that he couldn’t shake off. Ever since he had settled down in this place, he had vaguely sensed the aura of his own kind. Dragons had a special bloodline connection, and at first, he had always thought it was because the little cub in Ye Zhuo’s spiritual sea was slowly growing up, and he was sensing it. Just now, when Ye Zhuo had advanced, that aura had also changed slightly, as if it had broken through.

But then he thought again, that dragon cub was now just a True Spirit, without even flesh and blood, without even a realm, so how could there be a bloodline connection, and how could it advance?

Of course, none of this mattered. The key was that when that aura had changed just now, Jin Ming had clearly felt that it and Ye Zhuo were not in the same direction.

There was actually such a thing in the world!

Roughly sensing that location, Jin Ming tentatively transmitted a divine sense message, “Li Yuan?”

Li Yuan: “.”

In order to see Ye Zhuo, the place he was staying wasn’t too far from the Plum Blossom Cottage. Because of the Life-Bound Sword, Ye Zhuo had never been very good at sensing him, but his brother should always be able to.

To think he only discovered it now, was he not cultivating at all? He knew that the Golden Dragon clan had too many worldly affairs to manage.

The divine sense transmission only received silence, and Jin Ming was even more certain that the one on the other side was Li Yuan. He was always like this when communicating with him.

Jin Ming: “When did you come?”

“When you settled down.”

“What about before that?”

“…You were running around everywhere, it was hard to find you.”

Were they the ones running around? Clearly, it was Ye Zhuo who was running around, and he could only be a mount.

Jin Ming: “Then why aren’t you coming out? He—”

The moment the dragon cub came to mind, the Heart Devil Vow sealed his mouth, so that he couldn’t even have the idea of hinting. Jin Ming was truly in admiration.

Li Yuan: “He’ll be angry if I see him.”

They had agreed that he would come to see him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they had agreed. So Li Yuan didn’t know if he could see him now, or if he would be disturbing him. His brother had come out to find someone so rashly, what if it delayed Ye Zhuo’s affairs? That person certainly wouldn’t suffer at the hands of a Golden Dragon, but there would inevitably be some conflict, creating unnecessary complications. He had returned to the human world immediately because he was afraid that his brother would cause trouble.

But after quietly guarding for several days, Ye Zhuo and his brother were actually at peace. Was it that Ye Zhuo didn’t really not want to see a dragon, didn’t really not want to see him?

“He’s cultivating, why do you have to disturb him?” Li Yuan said.

“?” Jin Ming said, “I’m lucky if I don’t suffer a qi deviation! If I wasn’t his mount, could he have flown through all the human world secret realms so quickly? You’ve been watching for a few days, you should know who the master is.”

Li Yuan chuckled softly.

His brother must have had a bad attitude towards Ye Zhuo when he first came to the human world. In that case, it was only natural to be beaten up and used as a mount.

“How is he now?” Li Yuan asked softly, “After breaking through, he should want to find someone to fight. Brother, go keep him company.”

“?”

Was he really talking to Li Yuan right now? Jin Ming decided to pretend he didn’t hear the last sentence.

“Oh, weren’t you afraid he’d be angry just now?” Jin Ming said, “I think he’s pretty angry right now.”

How could he be? Li Yuan frowned.

“I’m not talking anymore,” Jin Ming said, “I feel like he’s looking at me.”

Li Yuan was wondering if he should get a little closer to Ye Zhuo. Why would he be angry? His aura was still very calm when he broke through just now. But if he got any closer, Ye Zhuo might discover him.

Ye Zhuo rarely got angry about anything, had his brother angered him somehow?

Ye Zhuo quietly looked at Jin Ming. His realm had already stabilized, and a second sparrow hadn’t fallen from the tree. He picked up his sword and stood up. The Golden Dragon looked strange.

Jin Ming watched as Ye Zhuo walked into the courtyard, looking directly at him.

“You don’t have to follow me anymore,” Ye Zhuo said. “I won’t do anything to it.”

“???”

Was he being chased away? Jin Ming was surprised that Ye Zhuo had actually said the words “won’t do anything,” but his brother was on the North Mountain, he couldn’t leave.

“You don’t want spiritual energy anymore?”

Ye Zhuo: “What I got from the secret realm is enough.”

Jin Ming: “But you still have to—”

You still have to send it to the Dragon Nest!

“I have my own plans for what comes next.” Ye Zhuo paused. “Thank you for your care, goodbye.”

Being thanked like this, Jin Ming suddenly felt a little embarrassed, a little speechless.

—But he couldn’t leave!

Ye Zhuo frowned, was the Golden Dragon not planning to leave?

“If you’re not going back, I’ll take my leave.” He said calmly.

Jin Ming blurted out in a moment of anxiety, “Wait—”

On the other side, he sent a divine sense message to his younger brother, asking him what to do in this situation.

Ye Zhuo quietly watched Jin Ming’s expression become increasingly strange, his eyes darting around, not knowing who he wanted to look at.

Ye Zhuo looked at him and said, “Waiting for what?”

“The way you are, how can I explain—”

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly saw that the man had already lightly turned his wrist at some unknown time. Before he could react, the sword in his hand suddenly slammed into the ground!

The sword tip hit the ground, and a vast sword light instantly lit up. Unlike the surging of the sea, which still required time, it was like lightning instantly illuminating everything in the mountains.

Auras collided, and there was indeed more than one long worm hiding. Ye Zhuo raised his eyes and looked back towards the direction of the North Mountain.

The ebb and flow, there was indeed a reason. He knew who it would be.

Whoever wasn’t cultivating properly was the one.

—At the same moment, Li Yuan himself released the concealment spell, silently appearing on the North Mountain.

When this person struck, he was always silent and unmoving, suddenly launching an attack in an instant. Such a beautiful and decisive move, Li Yuan felt that he would never be able to withstand it in his entire life. He didn’t need to restrain his breath and hide anymore.

His brother was truly more likely to spoil things than to accomplish them.

But Li Yuan no longer had the mind to think about other dragons.

He seemed to only be able to see the eyes of Ye Zhuo, looking back at him amidst the snow that had just cleared, the snow-covered fields, and the red plums.

He could finally use his spiritual energy, his divine sense, and a heart that missed him so much, to see that person more clearly.

Those eyes were still and quiet. As if across thousands of mountains and rivers, he saw him again.

There was no anger, the Golden Dragon was talking nonsense.

Li Yuan was stunned by that gaze. Did Ye Zhuo also miss him?

Should he have come sooner? Should he have appeared a few days earlier? Ye Zhuo was looking at him.

Li Yuan wanted to ask him if he was doing well. Ask him if he had found what he wanted. Ask him if he had understood something in the time they were apart.

But the next moment, Li Yuan saw Ye Zhuo looking at him, his brow furrowed slightly. Why were his eyes a little red? Why did he seem to be angry with him?

He subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to approach.

—He saw that the sword was already in Ye Zhuo’s hand.
