Chapter 86

Yun Chuyou finally took the small bottle, and as soon as she came out, Xie Fuzhi greeted her, "Chuyou, I have been waiting for you a long time."

Seeing his spoiled behavior, Sect Master Yan thought that love was truly a terrifying thing. A grand ancient beast had turned into someone so shy and bashful.

Luckily Xie Fuzhi did not have mind-reading abilities. If he did, he would just mock the old man with a smug look, "You want to act cute, but who can blame you for being single?"

And what’s wrong with him acting cute? He is being sweet to his soulmate, to his beloved wife, and not flirting with anyone else.

Yun Chuyou asked him, "Why are you not sitting next door to rest? Why are you just standing here waiting?"

While they talked, Sect Master Yan naturally set up a soundproof barrier. If no one intentionally broke it, people outside could not hear what was happening inside.

Xie Fuzhi simply said, "I did sit quietly next door and wait, but I couldn’t stay still. I wanted you, Chuyou, to see me as soon as you came out."

He just said that waiting for a long time was simply a bit of exaggeration. After all, Yun Chuyou didn’t stay there for long, but for Xie Fuzhi, every second away from his own beliefs felt like a year had passed.

His innocence had already been given away, and the two were in the sweet period of their honeymoon. As a proud phoenix, he only wanted to crazily stick to his partner, as this was an instinctive desire etched in a male bird’s genes.

The little bird sighed, "Chuyou, do you think I’m a bit too clingy?"

Yun Chuyou reached out to smooth his feathers, "No, I’m very happy that you care about me like this, but I also hope that when we’re apart, you can find something you enjoy doing so you don’t waste time waiting and make yourself unhappy."

"The time I spend waiting for you is meaningful." Xie Fuzhi said he was just a small phoenix, but he had actually lived for a long time, long enough to sit by a cold pond for an entire day, just to pass the excessively long and boring time.

While waiting for Yun Chuyou, his feelings were complicated and tangled, but also bittersweet, much happier than fishing.

Yun Chuyou’s expression was subtle: well, after all, she was human, not a phoenix. Even among humans, everyone thinks differently, as long as Xie Fuzhi is willing.

Yun Chuyou said, "Let’s go back to Qingxu Sect first."

Xie Fuzhi immediately changed from a smiling face to a serious one, "Chuyou, tell me honestly, did he just hurt you and make you feel wronged?"

Otherwise, why would Yun Chuyou think about returning to the Qingxu Sect right after their conversation?

Yun Chuyou shook her head, "What wrong could I suffer? Sect Master Yan is a person who cares for the world."

Xie Fuzhi said, "Chuyou, you don’t understand. It’s people like him, who hold great ideals and care for the world, that often cause others to suffer. His skills are higher than yours, and he is older than you, so if he bullies you, outsiders will say it’s justified."

From his tone, it was clear he disliked Sect Master Yan.

Yun Chuyou asked, "Do you have any old grudges against him?"

Of course, there were none now, but in countless past cycles that he could never forget, Xie Fuzhi truly had a grudge against Sect Master Yan.

However, Xie Fuzhi could not tell Yun Chuyou about these things; sharing them would only worry her for no reason. As a caring lover, he only wanted to make Yun Chuyou happy, not to make her cry or feel sad for him.

"Chuyou, let’s go back to Qingxu Sect."

When they came, Xie Fuzhi transformed into a phoenix to carry Yun Chuyou back, and the same went for their return.

They landed directly on Xianren Peak of the Qingxu Sect.

Unlike the previous icy cold Xianren Peak, the current Xianren Peak has been filled with many bright colors because Yun Chuyou has moved in.

Merperson Blue Smoke no longer lives in the cold, freezing Cold Pool that freezes spiritual power; they dug an extra pond at the foot of the mountain and let spring water flow into it.

Although the spring water is freezing, the deep sea is very cold itself. For a merperson who has lived many years beneath the deep sea, they are not afraid of the cold; they just cannot stand the feeling from the Cold Pool that even freezes spiritual power.

The fish they caught at the stall were also thrown into the new pond. Blue Smoke has thick skin, and these ordinary spirit fish cannot survive in the thousand-year Cold Pool.

As for Hu Xiao Bai, right after the competition ended, he was sent off to Blue Mountain by Xie Fuzhi.

At this moment, the six-tailed fox is still visiting Blue Mountain with a small bundle and doesn’t know when it will come back.

Now that Yun Chuyou doesn’t need Hu Xiao Bai, she is naturally happy to let her spirit pet reunite with its original family.

When she arrived at the familiar place, Yun Chuyou took out a small bottle. She didn’t open it but submitted the related task item to the system and received the final repair fragment.

I have to say, Sect Master Yan’s words moved her. Between living in confusion and waking up to death, Yun Chuyou is the kind of person who would choose to wake up to death.

However, she would prefer to choose to live with clarity.

Knowing the truth about the world’s destruction might allow her to do something to make the world different.

Even so far, she still doesn’t think she has anything to do with that so-called savior. After all, her luck is not good at all; she participated in a competition and happened to get trapped by the Demon Plant.

Unlike the male and female leads, who have incredible luck, turning misfortune into good fortune, and getting everything they want with ease.

However, Yun Chuyou doesn’t feel jealous. After all, she is quite satisfied with her life; she holds her position as Sect Master firmly, her disciples are very obedient, and her junior brothers and sisters are kind and united, even though they are all a bit tricky, at least they stick together and don’t harm their own people.

"Successfully gathered repair materials, would you like to proceed with the repairs?"

Yun Chuyou did not hesitate much and pressed the repair button directly.

On the system page, the repair furnace began to work diligently, making a clattering sound similar to a boiler operating.

[Repair in progress, repair countdown: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds]

Time keeps decreasing, but the Fate Mirror is a Divine Artifact. Even a system as powerful as this needs a whole month for repairs.

Fortunately, for a cultivator, one month is actually quite short, and Yun Chuyou can wait.

She wasn’t idle either, and called Meng He over.

Meng He’s mind was always simple, and his face showed that he was not happy. Anyone could see he was feeling down.

"Meng He, did you hear? The demon cultivator said you are their young master."

"Nonsense, young master!" Meng He couldn’t help but curse, "The demon cultivators don’t care about bloodline and inheritance; it’s all about who is stronger."

The human race likes to talk about pure bloodlines, but the demon race is different. Whoever is strong can rise to power, and the demon race doesn’t care much about ethics. Many demon kings have killed all their brothers and sisters and even their own fathers to become kings.

The young man looked stubbornly at Yun Chuyou and said, "Elder Martial Sister, do you also believe what they say and want to kick me out?"

Yun Chuyou said, "As long as you are a disciple of the Qingxu Sect, I will protect you for a day."

She continued, "But I must warn you, the Qingxu Sect has its own rules. Do you still remember those sect rules?"

"Of course I remember," he replied. He had copied the sect rules a thousand times, and he remembered every word clearly. It was impossible to forget the sect rules even if he forgot the skills he learned.

"As long as you remember, that’s good. In our Qingxu Sect, we do things according to the rules. If you break the rules and cross the line, I will naturally be the first to take action."

Yun Chuyou defended him, but she did not do so blindly; she had principles she could not betray.

Meng He’s eyes sparkled as he said, "I would never do such a thing."

He stubbornly looked at Yun Chuyou and said, "But what if someone wrongfully accuses me, frames me, or puts the blame on me?"

"If you say you didn’t do it, I will believe you," Yun Chuyou said. "The first time, as long as you explain, I will unconditionally stand by your side. If it happens again, I will investigate it until I find the truth."

"Meng He, trust is a precious thing; don’t make me lose it."

The latter proudly lifted her head and said, "I won’t do that!"

Yun Chuyou then said, "These days are unstable outside, so you should stay in the sect for now, train the young disciples, and focus on your practice, so no one can take advantage of you."

She added, "You should take an extra subject, go to Yu Jiu, and learn more, so you won’t be outsmarted without knowing who tricked you."

"Elder Martial Sister!" Meng He huffed, but he agreed with Yun Chuyou’s plan.

During this time, Yun Chuyou’s days were quite relaxed; she had improved so much in her skills that her state of mind couldn’t catch up quickly. She didn’t go anywhere and didn’t plan any grand celebrations.

Time quietly passed as she solidified her skills and enjoyed some phoenix meat and feathers.

Unknowingly, the repair time of the Fate Mirror jumped suddenly to zero.

And in the moment it was fully repaired, Yun Chuyou collapsed as she was drawn into the restored Fate Mirror.

The Fate Mirror is a Divine Artifact that embodies the laws of time and creation. The term ‘creation’ means the ability to create life. It has the power of creation and can evolve the past and future.

What it showed Yun Chuyou was the past of this world and the future that should have happened.
