Chapter 1501: Chapter 1348: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 45
I have to say, Ruoyang’s charm is truly unbeatable. First, a pile of gifts dispelled the sourness in Feng Feiyu’s heart, and then she quickly captured Feng Feiyu’s heart with her adorable appearance.
Even the Phantom Monkey liked Ruoyang very much, sitting in front of Ruoyang, taking out one nut after another and placing them in front of Ruoyang. Ruoyang raised her little paw and smashed one with a slap.
Then the Phantom Monkey used its nimble fingers to pick out the nutmeat, pile it up on a small plate, and once the plate was full, it divided it into four portions: one for Nie Shuangshuang, one for Feng Feiyu, one for Ruoyang, and one for itself.
Due to its monkey nature, the Phantom Monkey loved to eat fruits and nuts. The nuts it chose were large, plump, and sweet, with the best appearance and taste.
Feng Feiyu generously shared the thornless fish meat that Nie Shuangshuang prepared for him with Ruoyang, partly because Ruoyang was talkative and articulate.
In the three years that have passed, the Phantom Monkey’s ability to speak has improved a lot, making communication no problem at all. For a time, the person, the cat, and the Phantom Monkey were happily talking, eating, and playing together.
Instead, Nie Shuangshuang was left out to the side, but she didn’t mind, sitting properly as she grilled meat and fish, removing fish bones, and preparing food for the group.
In the Personal Immortal Mansion, the two of them, the cat, and the monkey ate and drank carefree, while in the distance, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with dark clouds low-hanging; Feng Qiao and Gong Junbao were arduously Crossing Tribulation.
After finally overcoming the Heavenly Tribulation, the two, having changed their clothes, hurried over and landed in the Personal Immortal Mansion, their faces full of joy.
Especially Gong Junbao, whose lifespan was previously close to its end, had now broken through to Divine Separation, greatly extending his life, so that for at least several thousand years, he wouldn’t have to worry about the issue of lifespan again.
Moreover, he had now obtained the Alchemy Dao inheritance of an Ancient Great Cultivator, and in the future, he could fully enter the Dao through alchemy. The enhancement of his cultivation was tied to his understanding of the Alchemy Dao.
This meant he no longer had to worry about being unable to break through due to poor cultivation aptitude, as his aptitude for Alchemy Dao was exceptional, and this was something Gong Junbao was confident about.
Having gained the inheritance, everyone was ready to leave the Secret Realm, and once they left the Secret Realm, the three would go their separate ways.
The Secret Realm was discovered by Gong Junbao, and by custom, the Secret Realm would be his from that point on. Nie Shuangshuang handed over the Spiritual Medicines and other items she and Ruoyang obtained in the Secret Realm to Gong Junbao.
The reward for escorting Gong Junbao to this Secret Realm was the Personal Immortal Mansion. Upon entering the Secret Realm, Gong Junbao even gave Feng Feiyu a Sound Dao inheritance from an Ancient Great Cultivator.
Having raided all the valuables in the Secret Realm, the greed was quite evident. The reason Nie Shuangshuang brought Ruoyang along to scour through the Secret Realm was simply that Ruoyang couldn’t stay idle; she only did it to amuse the cat.
On the way back, there was no rush, so Nie Shuangshuang planned to travel with Feng Feiyu, Ruoyang, the Phantom Monkey, and the Xuan Blood Crocodile Mo Xuan that Feng Feiyu insisted on bringing along, using the Flying Artifact leisurely, enjoying the journey as they went.
This time, Nie Shuangshuang used a pagoda-shaped Flying Artifact, making travel comfortable while also allowing them to view the scenery. If they encountered some beautiful views, they could get down anytime to have some fun.
Feng Feiyu leaned on the railing of the pagoda, holding the Phantom Monkey who was gnawing on a nut in his hand, and discussed with Nie Shuangshuang, "Master, do you think I should give Xiao Huan a name too? Look at how nice Ruoyang’s name sounds; what should we name Xiao Huan?"
Nie Shuangshuang sat nearby, unhurriedly grooming Ruoyang, completely ignoring Feng Feiyu. It wasn’t that Nie Shuangshuang was indifferent; it was because Feng Feiyu had been struggling for three days just to come up with a good name for the Phantom Monkey.
During this time, Nie Shuangshuang was asked multiple times about what name would be good, and although she initially had the mind to answer, she had become completely numb, letting Feng Feiyu ramble to himself.
On the other hand, Ruoyang persistently offered suggestions, but Ruoyang’s naming capability was rather hard to articulate. Names like Sanyan, Nini, and Nannan, all typical of village girls.
The main issue was that the Phantom Monkey was male, and before Feng Feiyu could express an opinion, the Phantom Monkey himself strongly opposed the names Ruoyang came up with.
As for Feng Feiyu’s naming skills, they were on par with Ruoyang’s, resulting in names like Wolf, Tiger, and Leopard, or Big Dragon, Big Tiger, Big Wolf, making the Phantom Monkey so anxious his fur seemed ready to ignite.
In the end, having no other choice, the Phantom Monkey directly jumped in front of Nie Shuangshuang, clutching her finger, blinking its large eyes, and looking at Nie Shuangshuang with a pleading expression.
"Great Immortal Master, you’re the best! Please help me come up with a nice name. I don’t want to be called something like Sanyan or Niu, and I don’t want to be called Big Dragon or Big Tiger."
"Hey, Xiao Huan, that’s too much. What’s wrong with the names I came up with? Big Dragon and Big Tiger sound imposing; you’re really hurting my feelings." Feng Feiyu dramatized on the side, making gestures as if his heart were broken.
"Great Immortal Master, you are the best; please help me name myself." The Phantom Monkey ignored Feng Feiyu and continued looking eagerly at Nie Shuangshuang.
Seeing that Feng Feiyu was so eager to name the Phantom Monkey after a legend, Nie Shuangshuang feared that if he really did give it a name, the Phantom Monkey might get so upset it would leave home, so she decided to name it herself.
"You Phantom Monkey clan can see through all kinds of Illusion Arrays and Illusion Realms and are masters of setting up illusions. Illusions are like dreams, so why not call it Zhu Meng?"
"Zhu Meng, that’s a nice name. Thank you, Great Immortal Master, for bestowing it." The Phantom Monkey was delighted as it happily ran to Ruoyang, excitedly showing off.
"Ruoyang, listen, I have a name too now, Zhu Meng. Isn’t it nice? The Great Immortal Master gave me this name."
Ruoyang dismissively snorted through her nose, "Acting like no one else has a name. My name, Ruoyang, is also really nice, and it was Shuangshuang who named me as well."
The Phantom Monkey reached out with its little paw to scratch its furry head, "Seems that’s true; Ruoyang’s name is also really nice, just like Zhu Meng. Both our names sound really good."
Feng Feiyu rolled his eyes on the side, ignoring the cat and monkey who were thrilled with their names, dragged the bench under him closer with a few scoots, and sat in front of Nie Shuangshuang, resting his chin in his hand.
"Master, when we passed Luofeng Mountain earlier, when we went to the tavern to eat, I overheard people chatting, saying it was named after a True Phoenix landing there.
It’s said that anywhere a True Phoenix has landed is considered a blessed land, because the Phoenix is an auspicious beast, and where it lands there is bound to be blessings and protection. Master, do you think that legend is true?
When I looked at Luofeng Mountain before, it didn’t look at all like a blessed land to me. Instead, it seemed a bit ominous, particularly the pond on the mountaintop, which seemed like stagnant water, very ominous. Am I wrong?
