“Boundary Pearl! The legendary ancient underworld artifact! Perfect, truly perfect!”
Feng Yingzhi’s voice began to tremble.
Her hands hovered ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) nearby, eager to grab the Boundary Pearl from Ye Yu’s hand,
but she was afraid it might be too fragile and shatter with a single touch.
She was deeply conflicted.
Ye Yu’s heart leapt with joy.
Feng Yingzhi’s immediate knowledge of the artifact’s origin showed she must be a highly experienced master.
This increased the chances of repairing the Boundary Pearl.
Without hesitation, he placed the Boundary Pearl into Feng Yingzhi’s hands.
“This is indeed the Boundary Pearl, but it has many cracks. Please, Immortal, take a look and see if you can restore it.
If successful, a great reward awaits!”
“No, it should be I who thank you.
To repair an ancient underworld artifact is my honor.
However, it may take some time,
because underworld artifacts differ somewhat from immortal artifacts.
I will need to explore carefully.
But trust in my abilities — when it comes to repairing immortal artifacts, I am a grandmaster!”
When speaking about her expertise, Feng Yingzhi became very talkative,
her speech rapid and full of confidence.
Yet just as she finished,
an immortal sword on the table suddenly exploded!
The powerful shock made the already chaotic room even more unbearable to behold.
As thick smoke cleared, Feng Yingzhi’s hairstyle became even more disheveled.
“Uh, that was an accident, a small accident.
I assure you, while the Boundary Pearl is with me, there will be absolutely no problems.”
Feng Yingzhi said, promptly putting the Boundary Pearl away,
with the clear impression she would never take it out again.
Ye Yu’s gaze grew somewhat doubtful.
This so-called “grandmaster” immortal seemed less reliable than expected.
But seeing how passionately she guarded the Boundary Pearl,
it seemed unlikely she would part with it now.
Well, trust the person you employ; distrust the one you don’t.
There was no better candidate now,
so Ye Yu decided to give Feng Yingzhi a chance.
He just needed to carefully explain everything when they returned.
Repair was fine, but absolutely no breaking the thing.
That would be a true loss.
Then Ye Yu took Feng Yingzhi back to Wu Wei Tower.
This wasn’t due to mistrust,
but because the sword explosion had blown a large hole in the building’s roof,
even damaging the formation.
Banxia thus suggested moving Feng Yingzhi elsewhere.
After all, staying under ruins without sunlight every day wasn’t good.
Ye Yu seized this chance to propose Wu Wei Tower.
There would be no disturbances, and he could monitor the repair progress anytime.
A true win-win.
Feng Yingzhi did not refuse.
For her, location didn’t matter.
What mattered was being surrounded by immortal artifacts all day.
Banxia also agreed gladly.
The heavens were chaotic now, and Feng Yingzhi was her close friend — naturally, she wanted a safe place for her cultivation.
Though Ye Yu appeared only at the early Golden Core Realm,
he was definitely at the Immortal Lord level.
Otherwise, how could he so easily control the mind of a Golden Core Realm immortal?
With Feng Yingzhi accompanying Ye Yu, her safety would be greatly increased.
After arranging everything, Banxia hurried off,
seeming to have other matters.
Ye Yu naturally brought Feng Yingzhi back.
In truth, the whole trip barely took half a day.
Inside Wu Wei Tower, all was calm as ever.
But the ladies still hadn’t entered seclusion.
So upon sensing Ye Yu’s arrival,
they all came out to greet him.
Xin Wan’en took the center spot,
pulling Ran Jingjing to stand before her.
It was clear Xin Wan’en had gone to great lengths to make Ye Yu and Ran Jingjing come together.
Ran Jingjing naturally understood this,
casting Xin Wan’en a grateful look.
However, upon seeing Ye Yu return,
the other ladies’ expressions turned strange.
Honestly,
Ye Yu bringing back an immortal wasn’t that unusual.
But why bring back one who looked so... “wild”?
“Husband, have you changed your taste?”
Ye Yu didn’t notice the ladies’ strange looks.
After safely landing, he first assigned Feng Yingzhi a room
to do her work,
promising she wouldn’t be disturbed.
Feng Yingzhi was quite satisfied.
Location didn’t matter; only the quality of things did.
Once Ye Yu had settled her,
he turned to find the ladies gathering around him.
“Husband, you’ve changed!”
Hearing this, Ye Yu was confused.
Why suddenly say such things?
“What do you mean?”
Bai Miao coldly said with a complicated expression,
“Husband, why suddenly like this style?
Changing tastes so fast?”
Nearby, Ran Jingjing quietly lifted her hand,
messing up her hair to create a deliberately messy beauty.
Xin Wan’en also helped secretly,
sighing quietly.
“Husband’s becoming harder to please, changing tastes every now and then.
So difficult!”
“What nonsense!
This is the grandmaster I invited to repair the Boundary Pearl.
I told you all to stay away from her.
The grandmaster has a special temper and dislikes any disturbance!”
Ye Yu explained helplessly.
But then he suddenly saw Ran Jingjing’s hair disheveled and her whole body stiffen.
He was startled.
“What’s wrong? Is this a ghostly romance?”
“I...”
Ran Jingjing was really at a loss for words.
She had thought Ye Yu changed tastes,
but after messing up her hair and hearing it was a misunderstanding,
and now being noticed by Ye Yu in such a state,
it was truly a social death.
But this was only a small incident, and Ye Yu didn’t dwell on it.
He repeatedly told the ladies not to disturb Feng Yingzhi.
At this moment,
Zhu Diezhen and Wei Aoshu were still deeply immersed in the path of pill refinement, unaware of what was happening outside.
These two immortals had never practiced any alchemy techniques,
but stubbornly studied from books, locked away in their room.
To avoid drawing attention again,
they even set up many formations around the room:
soundproofing, shockproofing, and energy absorption.
After all, to them,
whether the furnace exploded or not was unimportant.
What mattered was that no one knew about what they were doing.
Using pills was somewhat shameful.
But now, they couldn’t care less.
In the room, a large banner clearly stated Zhu Diezhen and Wei Aoshu’s determination:
“No success, then madness!”
