Chapter 76

Yun Chuyou tried to communicate with the other side, "Since you can wake up my memories, can’t you try to awaken my master’s memories too?"

After a while, the voice came through, breaking up, and its general meaning was, "There is a lack of medium and spirit power, so it can’t be done."

All the disciples participating in the competition each had a small screen, which served as their anchor point. The outside cultivators built a bridge for communication through this point, using their power to lift the memory restrictions placed on Yun Chuyou.

Except for her, the anchor points of the other cultivators were hidden because their screens had disappeared. As for Xie Fuzhi, he was added temporarily and originally had no anchor point.

"Due to the influence of demonic energy, some mechanisms set in the illusion before have been distorted. It is very hard and risky to wake him forcefully, it is best to find a way for him to remember on his own."

Before the competition began, Qingxu Sect updated their new information, and Xie Fuzhi, as the leading elder, was registered at the Astral Projection Stage, fully accomplished.

Before entering the secret realm, Xie Fuzhi was still at the Nascent Soul Stage, where no one could go from just starting Astral Projection to fully mastering the Astral Projection Stage in just a few years.

Yun Chuyou had her doubts; Xie Fuzhi should have more than just the Astral Projection Stage power. However, in the dangerous world of cultivation, it was important to keep some secrets, so she didn’t ask further.

The cultivator trying to awaken her was a mighty figure at the Soul Changing Stage. To send the information in, he had already used a lot of strength, and he really had no extra energy to wake Xie Fuzhi.

Yun Chuyou sighed and then spoke in a fierce tone, "What do you think I am? Do I seem like someone who is flirtatious and has a pile of romantic debts? I didn’t realize you always saw me this way."

Xie Qi immediately looked down, his tone weak, "I didn’t mean that. It’s just that I’ve never heard those names before, but hearing you call them feels very close and real."

Yun Chuyou didn’t notice any special change in her tone and didn’t understand how Xie Qi sensed the familiarity.

In the past, when he remembered being Xie Fuzhi, he could feel jealous of Xie Qi, but now with only Xie Qi’s memories, he felt jealous of Xie Fuzhi.

Now it seemed he even felt jealous of Meng He Zhong Wei and her friends. She thought Xie Fuzhi was not a phoenix; he should be a jar of vinegar that had come to life.

"Let’s not mention this anymore." Xie Fuzhi thought it was okay if he couldn’t remember right now. Once they successfully got out of the Thousand Mile Landscape Map, he would naturally remember everything.

Yun Chuyou said, "Right now, nothing is more important than getting rid of those evil plants."

She paused, "Let the officials and all the people cooperate and use heavenly fire to burn the plants. This task will be up to you, and it needs to be done as quickly as possible…"

Xie Qi asked, "What about you, Chuyou?"

Yun Chuyou said, "I have some people to find, and I need your help. Let’s split up to make it more efficient."

Compared to Xie Fuzhi, the real grand master, her words held less power since she had only been a grand master’s wife for a year.

Since Xie Fuzhi had not regained his memory, the task of finding other anchors fell naturally on her.

After she spoke, she saw Xie Qi looking very unwilling.

Yun Chuyou stretched out her words, "I usually don’t ask much from you, but the situation is different now. I believe you can do this, my husband."

"I can…"

The grand master was thrown off by being called ‘my husband’ and almost agreed, but after losing two words, he snapped back to reality and forced the rest of his words down.

Yun Chuyou could use charm, and he could too, "But Chuyou, I don’t want to be apart from you."

Xie Fuzhi knew it would be hard to refuse Yun Chuyou’s request, but at this time, he had to be firm, "It’s very dangerous outside, and if you stay with me, it won’t delay us for long."

"I just got back not long ago, and you suddenly fainted. What if you fell down somewhere I couldn’t see? What should I do all alone?"

He looked at Yun Chuyou with a pitiful expression, "Chuyou, can you really let me be a lonely widower, either living alone forever or dying from a broken heart?"

There’s no way it’s that dramatic. Yun Chuyou never thought that one person cannot go on without the other. She had been separated from her parents for so many years after coming to this world, and she didn’t feel like dying because of it.

Dying from a broken heart over love could never happen to her. If one person leaves, the other must live well.

"Don’t say such unlucky nonsense." Even though she couldn’t help it, she could sense that Xie Qi was very serious when he said this.

A favorability rating of one hundred percent, or even higher, on the system’s panel says: unwavering loyalty, life and death together.

Who could say no to someone willing to die for you? Even if Yun Chuyou couldn’t do it, she couldn’t help but feel a little soft-hearted.

Yun Chuyou wasn’t heartless. She sighed, "Then let’s do it together, but if there’s something I want to do that you don’t understand, don’t ask too much. Just go along with it."

Just to be more efficient, it looks like we can’t sleep for the next two days.

Yun Chuyou tried to call her spirit beast, "Little Bai, can you hear me? Blue Smoke?"

She didn’t expect to pull Hu Xiao Bai in; she was just trying to see if she could use the close bond between her pets to communicate with the other party’s spirit and understand the outside situation.

The merperson unexpectedly did not respond in time; after all, compared to Hu Xiao Bai, Blue Smoke’s performance had always been average, and their connection was not as strong with Yun Chuyou.

A moment later, Little Bai’s voice came to Yun Chuyou’s mind, "Master, is that you?"

Yun Chuyou breathed a big sigh of relief; being able to contact them was better than she thought, "It’s me. How are you all doing?"

Hu Xiao Bai replied happily, "Everyone is safe, just waiting for you, Master. The competing cultivators and the audience have been moved out, but our sect’s people stayed behind. Zhong Wei and the others are helping to clear the demonic energy. Everyone is trying to find a way to save you."

Hearing that they were okay, Yun Chuyou felt relieved, "You be careful and make sure to watch over Meng He."

She suddenly remembered a very important plot point; this time it was the demon cultivator causing trouble, and Meng He was part of the demon race. This part of the Hundred Sects Conference storyline not only allowed the main characters to shine but was also very important for Meng He and Song Mingzhu to meet, and then not long after, Meng He would be "corrupted" and shamelessly betray Qingxu Sect.

This was also the beginning of Qingxu Sect’s downfall.

Hu Xiao Bai scratched his ear and looked at Meng He nearby. Among the three disciples, Meng He was the most excited and full of energy, not at all like the other cultivators who seemed tired and low-spirited.

However, Hu Xiao Bai always obediently listened to his master, "Alright, master, I will keep an eye on him and report to you at any time."

"No need to do that right now, just wait until I come out."

Reporting to her didn’t do any good at this moment; besides, staying connected all the time really drained her spirit. Yun Chuyou could feel her spiritual power being quickly taken away, making her body feel weaker.

Maintaining long conversations was too exhausting, so it was better not to waste spiritual power.

"Chuyou?"

Xie Qi noticed Yun Chuyou’s pale face. He reached out and placed his hand on her forehead, looking worried as he asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Yun Chuyou shook her head, "I’m fine."

Xie Qi replied, "But your face suddenly looks very bad. Don’t try to be strong. In your current state, I absolutely won’t let you leave the house."

Yun Chuyou touched her belly and said, "I’m really fine; I’m just a little hungry."

They say this is an illusion, but it feels very real, almost like being in another small world, a small world without Spirit Qi.

According to the law of energy conservation, she has used too much energy and needs to quickly replenish it in another way.

However, there is no Spirit Qi in the illusion, so she can only rely on food to recover.

Xie Qi immediately stood up and said, "Let’s get the kitchen to bring out more food."

It was his oversight; Chuyou hadn’t eaten for so long and had been giving orders, so she must be very hungry.

Although he could cook, his skills were average, and he preferred to stay close to his wife rather than rush into the kitchen, waiting for the food to be ready so they could eat together.

The food from the kitchen was not ready quickly, so Xie Qi reached into his wide sleeve and pulled out a cold paper package, warmed a bit by his body, "Almost forgot, this is the chestnut cake I brought for you. Chuyou, you should eat it to fill your belly."

Yun Chuyou took a bite; the chestnut cake was very soft and had a pure chestnut flavor, not too sweet, and she loved this snack. She finished a small bag in just a couple of bites, "This is from Grandma Li’s place in the northern part of the city. Are they still open at this time?"

"No," Xie Qi said, "I met them on my way back and helped save their family, the chestnut cake is a gift in return."

Although he was a grand master, he was not a great person who cared for the world and sacrificed himself for the people. Many years ago, Xie Qi only found his life dull and boring.

Deep in his mind, he had a vague thought that in such a boring, terrible world, it would be better if it were destroyed. However, this thought was temporarily pushed aside after he met Yun Chuyou.

The lives of others did not concern him. But while traveling with Yun Chuyou, he once praised how delicious the chestnut cake from that family was.

When he saw Grandma Li, a thought crossed Xie Qi’s mind: If she died, Chuyou would not be able to eat the chestnut cake.

So he insisted that the team stop and temporarily saved Grandma Li. Although she wasn’t selling anything, the family that made the cakes always had fresh food, and the chestnut cake was a thank you gift from Grandma Li.

Yun Chuyou was a little surprised, "I suddenly feel like today’s chestnut cake tastes even better than usual."

The beautiful silver-haired lady leaned on Yun Chuyou’s shoulder, her hair cascading down like hanging cherry blossoms, "I knew Chuyou would like it."

Yun Chuyou turned her face, smiling as she gave Xie Qi a kiss on the cheek, making a smacking sound as she kissed his soft, delicate face, "Well done!"

The two people had been married for a long time, but in Xie Qi’s memory, Yun Chuyou did not often take the initiative to be close to him.

She said she hoped to develop their feelings first, choosing a path of marrying before loving. Xie Qi respected her wishes and has been very careful; even now, they are still temporarily sleeping in separate rooms.

He was stunned for a moment, covering his bright red, hot right cheek, and couldn’t help but smile dreamily: In a world with Chuyou, it is indeed better to be a little more stable.
