214: Chapter 214 The Three-Year Agreement

Although Lu Qingmeng's full-speed flight was very fast.

But the spatial storm spread even faster, sweeping in from the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Lu Qingmeng and Ji Taichang had nowhere to hide; the entire space was enveloped, like a hurricane carrying world-destroying power!

Lu Qingmeng immediately activated the nine-story stone tower for protection. The ancient tower floated above them, shedding wisps of black-yellow qi to block the erosion of the spatial storm.

But this spatial storm was far more terrifying than the one Ji Taichang had encountered before. Even with Lu Qingmeng pushing the ancient tower to its limits, it shook violently, its light distorting.

Even Lu Qingmeng suffered a significant backlash; she let out a muffled groan, her face turning slightly pale.

Even more terrifying was that...

The terrifying pressure from the deepest depths of the earth was still awakening, becoming increasingly fearsome, making heaven and earth tremble and causing the stars beyond to shake.

The already terrifying spatial storm was also intensifying!

Seeing blood begin to trickle from the corner of Lu Qingmeng's mouth and her body trembling uncontrollably,

Ji Taichang felt distressed and somber. He prepared to use Body Integration with Yun Qiyao to activate the yang yao disk and share some of the pressure with Lu Qingmeng.

Right then.

It seemed the commotion from the awakening of the terrifying entity in the depths of the earth was too great, drawing the dissatisfaction of another terrifying existence within the restricted area.

“Roar!!!”

A thunderous roar came from another direction on the horizon, carrying a primitive and desolate aura, like the long cry of an ancient behemoth.

In a daze, Ji Taichang seemed to see an incredibly massive beast's head slowly rising.

It was the mysterious beast Ji Taichang had encountered the last time he entered Setting Sun Valley!

A towering divine tree was rooted on the beast's head, its countless branches guarding a transparent crystal coffin, which sealed a peerless Fairy so beautiful she seemed unreal.

The mysterious Fairy opened her eyes again, her deep gaze seemingly ignoring layers of space to land directly on Ji Taichang.

At this moment, Ji Taichang felt as if he had been peered through inside and out, with no secrets left to keep!

“Eh?”

A hint of surprise seemed to flash in the mysterious Fairy's calm, pool-like eyes.

[Ding! Luo Qingxian's favorability has increased by 2 points]

[Luo Qingxian's favorability: 7 (There will be a surprise when favorability reaches 100!)]

“favorability increased?”

Ji Taichang couldn't help but blink, but when he looked again, he found that Luo Qingxian had disappeared.

The terrifying existence in the depths of the earth froze for a moment, seemingly extremely wary of Luo Qingxian. The terrifying aura that had been awakening rapidly dissipated and fell silent once more.

Even that world-destroying spatial storm was actually slowly receding!

“Phew...”

Lu Qingmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, her trembling chest heaving. She patted it in lingering fear, causing a ripple.

“Run!”

Fearing that the mysterious and terrifying entity would awaken again, she hurriedly pulled Ji Taichang to evacuate Setting Sun Valley.

“Aunt Meng, did you see that Fairy just now?”

Ji Taichang looked back toward Luo Qingxian's position, but the head of that terrifying beast had already vanished; he saw nothing.

“What Fairy? Your brain hasn't been scared silly, has it?”

Lu Qingmeng showed a worried expression and couldn't help but reach out to touch Ji Taichang's forehead.

“No fever. Could it be a hallucination...”

As expected, even Aunt Meng couldn't see Luo Qingxian...

Ji Taichang felt a bit regretful but wasn't too surprised.

The last time he met Luo Qingxian, Lan Huaying and Yun Qiyao hadn't seen her either; only Ji Taichang himself had.

If it weren't for the System explicitly prompting that Luo Qingxian had favorability toward him, Ji Taichang might have even doubted if it was a hallucination.

Ji Taichang changed the subject: “It's nothing. Aunt Meng, do you know anything about those two mysterious entities from just now?”

Whether it was the mysterious entity awakening underground or the head of that terrifying beast, they were undoubtedly powerhouses at the Mahayana Stage!

There were only a few Mahayana Stage powerhouses in the entire Eastern Desolate Region, so Ji Taichang thought Lu Qingmeng might know something.

“I don't know.”

Lu Qingmeng shook her head very decisively. “Those two entities were likely born within Setting Sun Valley. Both of those powers are very unfamiliar and don't belong to any of the Five Great Sacred Grounds in the Eastern Desolate Region.”

“However... this little thing definitely knows!”

Lu Qingmeng's lips curled into a cold smile as she picked up Kunkun, who was playing dumb on the side.

Hearing this, Ji Taichang also stared at Kunkun with an unfriendly expression.

“I don't know anything...”

Kunkun was about to continue playing dumb, but Lu Qingmeng's grip on its neck tightened slightly, making it unable to breathe.

“Think carefully before you answer. If you keep playing dumb, I'm going to have roasted bird!”

Lu Qingmeng had a sweet smile on her face, but it was somewhat eerie and cold.

An invisible Killing Intent filled the air, making Kunkun's hair stand on end.

“I'll talk, I'll tell you everything...”

Kunkun trembled and hurriedly confessed.

It turned out that Lu Qingmeng had broken part of the Seal and Restriction within its body. As Kunkun's cultivation improved, many fragmented memory images appeared in its mind.

“You're saying that a Mahayana Stage powerhouse of the Yao Race sealed themselves and is slumbering deep within the earth of Setting Sun Valley, and before slumbering, they planted many precious medicines and Heaven And Earth Treasures in Setting Sun Valley?”

Lu Qingmeng showed a look of surprise, feeling more and more that this little peacock was not simple.

“Let's go. First, we'll visit the treasure land where it was dug up.”

She activated her Flying Sword, leading Ji Taichang and Kunkun forward quickly.

Because they avoided the most dangerous Forbidden Grounds, with Lu Qingmeng's powerful cultivation, the journey was relatively safe.

Unfortunately, the two of them searched the mountain again but still found nothing.

Ji Taichang actually wanted to continue exploring Setting Sun Valley.

Lu Qingmeng shook her head. “No rush. I'll continue the exploration after I go back and refine the glazed immortal grass and my strength improves further.”

There are still many dangers in Setting Sun Valley; just like the spatial storm earlier, Lu Qingmeng almost couldn't hold on.

“You helped me get the glazed immortal grass this time; Auntie doesn't even know how to repay you...”

“Repay me with your body!” Ji Taichang's gaze was burning as he stared straight at her.

“Little fellow, are you that greedy for Auntie's body?”

Lu Qingmeng smiled faintly and reached out to pinch Ji Taichang's cheek.

“Yes!” Ji Taichang nodded very honestly.

“Giggle... It's not impossible for Auntie to marry you, as long as you can Breakthrough to the Body Integration Stage within three years.”

Lu Qingmeng covered her mouth and smiled, speaking casually.

“It's a deal!”

Ji Taichang's eyes lit up, full of confidence. “It won't take three years. Maybe I can Breakthrough to the Body Integration Stage within one year. When that time comes, Aunt Meng, just wait to marry me!”

“Alright, alright, Auntie will be waiting.”

Lu Qingmeng smiled; she didn't believe him, but she didn't refute him either, just dotingly reaching out to pinch Ji Taichang's ear.
