Chapter 178 - One Hundred Ways to Make a Man Devoted to You
Six Realms Pavilion was the foremost refining sect in the East Sea Continent.
Not only were they proficient in various secret refining techniques, but they also claimed to gather the world’s most precious materials.
Zhu Diezhen had traveled a great distance, not to find someone from the Six Realms Pavilion to refine an artifact, but to search for a specific material.
Guardian Demon Black Sand.
Since she was going to refine an artifact for Ye Yu, everything had to be top-notch.
To acquire the Guardian Demon Black Sand, Zhu Diezhen had brought more than ninety percent of the assets of the Ten Thousand Souls Hall.
She was determined to secure it.
After paying the hundred spirit stones entrance fee, Zhu Diezhen successfully entered the sales hall of the Six Realms Pavilion.
Here, she also encountered an exceptionally graceful and beautiful woman.
If Ye Yu were here, he would surely recognize her.
This woman was his wife from the simulated dream: the mermaid, Su Yao.
No matter when or where, Su Yao was like a lily blooming in tranquility, uncontentious and graceful.
Her beauty even made Zhu Diezhen’s eyes brighten.
An elder from the Six Realms Pavilion emerged from a side room. He placed a storage ring on the table in front of Su Yao.
“All the items you need are in here, but we really don’t have any Guardian Demon Black Sand.”
Upon hearing this, Zhu Diezhen frowned slightly, “You don’t have any Guardian Demon Black Sand?”
The elder from the Six Realms Pavilion asked with a strange expression, “How come? Is this fairy also here to buy it?”
Zhu Diezhen nodded.
Seeing this, Su Yao turned her head to glance at Zhu Diezhen, without saying a word.
The elder smiled bitterly and said, “We’ve already sold out of the Guardian Demon Black Sand. This fairy also needs it, just like you.”
Zhu Diezhen felt deeply frustrated.
The Guardian Demon Black Sand was exceedingly rare. It was precisely because it couldn’t be found in the Central Continent that Zhu Diezhen had traveled so far.
But even here, it was unavailable.
Did this mean she would have to travel to another continent?
Su Yao was also very disappointed.
The Guardian Demon Black Sand was something she needed as well.
In the dream, the Ascension Realm Nine-headed Flood Dragon Yang Xiao had killed many water nymphs to reclaim the Sea Controlling Trident, forcing Su Yao to show up.
And to protect Su Yao, Ye Yu had even risked everything to ensure their mutual destruction.
From their conversation at that time, it was clear that Yang Xiao placed great importance on the Sea Controlling Trident.
Now, after waking from the dream, the Sea Controlling Trident had mysteriously appeared by Su Yao’s side.
Such a strange occurrence, in Su Yao’s eyes, it was a form of destiny.
To prevent the tragedy of the dream from happening again, Su Yao was determined to eliminate Yang Xiao and then properly gift the Sea Controlling Trident to Ye Yu.
However, this was not an easy task to accomplish.
Yang Xiao was a nine-headed flood dragon of the Ascension Realm, while Su Yao’s strength was far inferior. She still needed to train further.
Before that, to avoid being targeted by Yang Xiao, Su Yao had to “modify” the sea trident.
The Guardian Demon Black Sand, besides improving the grade of the artifact, could also conceal its aura.
This was the characteristic Su Yao needed the most.
It was truly unfortunate that the Six Realms Pavilion did not have any.
If even they didn’t have it, it was unlikely any other sects in the East Sea Continent would.
Su Yao felt quite despondent. It seemed she needed to find another way to conceal the sea trident’s aura.
Just as Su Yao and Zhu Diezhen were preparing to leave, the elder suddenly spoke up, “Please wait a moment, fairies. I can see that both of you have considerable strength. Perhaps I can offer you some guidance.”
“In the Ghost Plain Valley, there is a waterfall. Twenty miles to the east of the waterfall, there might be Guardian Demon Black Sand. Someone has seen it there before. But there is a powerful demon monkey guarding the area, so it has been difficult to obtain.”
“Why don’t you two try there? If you succeed in obtaining the Guardian Demon Black Sand and have any surplus, the Six Realms Pavilion is willing to buy it at the highest price.”
Hearing this, Su Yao’s expression brightened.
Zhu Diezhen, however, looked serious, muttering, “Where is Ghost Plain Valley?”
As someone from the Central Continent, Zhu Diezhen genuinely did not know the geography of the East Sea Continent.
Su Yao gently said, “If you don’t know the way, I can help guide you. Since we’re both after the Guardian Demon Black Sand, perhaps we can help each other.”
Zhu Diezhen showed a smile.
“Then thank you very much!”
After agreeing, the two left the Six Realms Pavilion.
On the way to Ghost Plain Valley, Su Yao casually asked, “Fellow Daoist, you’re not from the East Sea Continent, are you?”
Ghost Plain Valley was very famous in the East Sea Continent, and it was quite easy to find. Locals would definitely know about it.
Zhu Diezhen nodded.
“I’m indeed not from the East Sea Continent. I come from the Central Continent.”
Su Yao pondered.
She was about to ask Zhu Diezhen if she knew someone named Ye Yu, but the words came to her lips, and she ultimately held back.
In the dream, Ye Yu was from the East Sea Continent, while Zhu Diezhen was from the Central Continent.
Logically, they should not know each other.
So even if she asked, it would be fruitless.
Thus, Su Yao sighed.
Thinking to herself: Ye Yu, where are you?
I miss you so much!
……
Over the next twenty days, Ye Yu was living a life of constant revelry.
He and Yun Wuci spent every day and night together.
They practiced the “Kun” character calligraphy diligently.
Their dedication was unparalleled.
During this period, Ye Yu’s cultivation realm loosened, and he even reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm.
This was the best proof of his hard work.
Yun Wuci thoroughly enjoyed this process, as if she had returned to the dream, reliving the moments they spent together.
But Ye Yu, on the other hand, had unspoken frustrations.
It wasn’t that he didn’t enjoy being with Yun Wuci, it was just that Yun Wuci was incredibly clingy.
She insisted on staying by his side for all twelve hours of the day, leaving Ye Yu with no opportunity to simulate the dream.
This was quite distressing.
During this time, Ye Yu tried to communicate with Yun Wuci, but she refused to leave his side for even a moment.
Ye Yu was helpless.
So, after the twenty days ended, Ye Yu held Yun Wuci’s hand and said softly, “I have some personal matters to attend to. Will you wait for me at the Guiyuan Sect? After I’m done, I will definitely come to find you.”
Yun Wuci showed no sign of hesitation and agreed immediately.
Her straightforwardness caught Ye Yu off guard.
He had prepared a lot of words, planning to deal with Yun Wuci, but unexpectedly, she showed no signs of entanglement.
This left Ye Yu feeling a bit uneasy.
Watching his stunned expression, Yun Wuci lifted her hand to adjust his clothes.
“Husband, remember to come back and find me after you’ve finished your work! I’ll be waiting for you at the Guiyuan Sect.”
With that, Yun Wuci walked away.
In truth, she knew well that Ye Yu could not have her as his only Dao companion. So it was impossible for him to spend all his time with her.
Being able to spend twenty days alone together was already quite rare.
Since she was prepared to accept Ye Yu’s everything, Yun Wuci would not regret it.
Moreover, in her storage ring, there was a book lying quietly.
“One Hundred Ways to Make a Man Devoted to You.”
Among them, the very first rule was not to be too clingy.
Men do not like to be bound. That’s why Yun Wuci left so decisively.
The second rule in the book was to maintain a proper distance—only then could a man always find you intriguing and fresh.
This was all knowledge.
Yun Wuci’s steps were light. Although she didn’t look back, she could clearly sense through her spiritual sense that Ye Yu was standing still, gazing blankly at the direction she had left.
What the book said was indeed true.
Yun Wuci’s lips curled into a perfect arc.
With this book in hand, what can you use to compete with me, Bu Lingfei?
