Ye Yu instinctively looked up following Xiao Meng’s gesture.
He noticed the once vibrant sky had grown somewhat dim.
Soon, faint fluctuations of immortal energy could be sensed, though very weak and distant.
As a perfect immortal-seeking ox, Xiao Meng’s claim that its master Banxia was above had to be true.
Could it be that Banxia was fighting someone?
Interesting!
Honestly, although Banxia was an immortal of the Three Corpses Hall,
there was no trace of evil immortal aura or malice on her.
If not for her help back then, Ye Yu wouldn’t have found Lin Miaoxue and Zhu Diezhen so quickly.
By ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) rights, he still owed her a favor.
She had promised to help eliminate an immortal, but had yet to act on it.
Since Banxia was now in trouble, Ye Yu naturally would not stand idly by.
Guided by the spirit of mutual assistance,
Ye Yu lifted the blue ox Xiao Meng with one hand,
tapped his toes, and shot upward toward the sky at great speed.
Less than a hundred meters up,
a figure descended from above.
Even from behind, Ye Yu instantly recognized her as Banxia.
Before he could speak,
Xiao Meng broke free from Ye Yu’s grasp,
flapping its wings as it darted toward its master.
But Banxia was too fast.
She sped to Ye Yu’s side, didn’t even look, and wrapped one arm around his neck,
rushing forward at high speed.
In a flash, they vanished from sight,
leaving a bewildered Xiao Meng utterly confused.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Am I no longer my master’s beloved pet?
Truly, fairies are unreliable—once they have a man, they don’t even want their own pet anymore!
“Moo! Moo moo! Moo moo moo!”
Though only cow-speak, Xiao Meng’s face fully expressed dissatisfaction,
perhaps even swearing.
But before long, it suddenly stopped.
Because it clearly felt a dense aura of blood rapidly approaching from behind.
Xiao Meng’s expression changed drastically and it dashed toward the direction where Banxia and Ye Yu disappeared.
Its tail, previously wagging, was now tightly curled.
If one looked closely, even tears shimmered in its cute bovine eyes.
Elsewhere,
within a short time, Banxia had flown with Ye Yu thousands of miles away.
Still, she did not dare reduce speed.
Maintaining full speed, her hands began to fumble.
“Xiao Meng, since when did your fur grow so long? And where are your horns?”
“The horns are on my own head!”
A deep male voice suddenly sounded,
causing Banxia to freeze and stop.
Looking down, she realized she was holding not Xiao Meng but Ye Yu, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time.
This startled Banxia.
“What are you doing here?”
Ye Yu didn’t rush to answer, greedily inhaling immortal energy twice.
Phew, finally some relief.
He hadn’t expected Banxia’s secretive nature would almost suffocate him.
Taking advantage, Ye Yu tidied his hair a bit.
Damn Banxia, after all that rough handling, she didn’t bother to fix it.
Sloppy woman, thumbs down!
After all this, Ye Yu recounted the recent events,
curiously asking, “You’re classic, running off without a word, dragging me along—it’s a bit much!
Did you know Xiao Meng was on your left and I was on your right? You got the directions wrong!”
Banxia instantly showed an embarrassed expression,
apologizing repeatedly.
She explained the sudden attack by a powerful enemy forced her to be on guard.
Her falling behind was intentional,
meant to take Xiao Meng away quickly.
Before she even hit the ground, she heard Xiao Meng’s unique call.
So she thought it was behind her.
This mix-up was truly regrettable.
Banxia bowed slightly,
feeling a bit mortified, realizing why the sensation in her hands was strange.
So it was Ye Yu after all.
“Bang!”
A muffled sound came.
Banxia was struck by a fast-approaching object, pushed back several steps.
But she wasn’t angry.
Instead, she excitedly said, “Now the feel is right!”
“Moo! Moo moo!”
Indeed, the rushing object was Xiao Meng.
It yelled furiously at Banxia, venting its frustration at being abandoned.
Though happy to have recovered her immortal pet,
Banxia showed no smile.
She had noticed a blood-red hue appearing in the distant sky.
“Immortal friend Banxia, you’ve really made me work hard to find you!”
Soon, a male immortal appeared in the air, stepping on black clouds, his expression mocking as he looked at Ye Yu and Banxia.
This was Du Guangshou, the Blissful Immortal of the Three Corpses Hall.
He had long coveted Banxia, but she had repeatedly rejected him.
This displeased Du Guangshou, so he was prepared to forcibly test if the fruit of forced affection was sweet.
The two had just been fighting.
Banxia was no match for Du Guangshou,
so she had set Xiao Meng aside in case it was caught in the battle.
Hence the ensuing events.
Ye Yu looked at Banxia and asked in confusion, “Who is this?”
“Shouldn’t that be my question? Banxia, who exactly is he?
Is he the reason you rejected me?
If so, I’ll break his legs and make him watch the beautiful times we share.”
Du Guangshou’s smile twisted horribly,
looking terrifying.
Banxia frowned slightly and transmitted her thoughts: “Remember your promise to help me eliminate someone? That person is him.
Of course, when to kill him is up to you.
If we can defeat him now, better to kill him.
If strength is uneven, we run—no shame in preserving ourselves for later.”
At this, Ye Yu’s eyes turned strange.
Woman, you’re playing with fire!
Don’t you know the two words men fear most are ‘I can’t’?
He was only a late-stage Golden Immortal.
What’s the difficulty?
Ye Yu formed the Divine Control Heart Technique hand seal with one hand.
Du Guangshou thought he was about to attack and instinctively assumed a defensive stance.
But it was already too late.
Du Guangshou’s once clear eyes turned blood red.
He stepped forward, kneeled on one knee, and said solemnly, “I pay respects to my lord!”
“Smack!”
Ye Yu slapped Du Guangshou across the face, but the latter didn’t react at all.
“You have a chance for revenge. You may kill yourself or let me help. But the words ‘turn and run’—I don’t like hearing them.”
