In just two days, Feng Yingzhi used a communication stone to summon Ye Yu to her room.
She took out an exquisite box.
Ye Yu’s heart leapt with joy.
“Is it already repaired? I knew I was right about you—you really are a great talent!”
He reached out to open the box, but Feng Yingzhi slapped her palm firmly on top.
Seeing this, Ye Yu grew curious and asked immediately, “What does this mean?”
“Listen to me first!” Feng Yingzhi’s face showed embarrassment as she whispered, “Actually, I did repair the Boundary Pearl,
but... ancient underworld artifacts and immortal artifacts have some differences.
There are some small structural issues.
That’s why I called you here today—to tell you about this.”
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
“What kind of small issues?”
“Maybe it’s a bit inaccurate.”
Feng Yingzhi awkwardly rubbed her hands together.
Hearing this, Ye Yu’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
A bit inaccurate?
That’s a huge problem!
The Boundary Pearl is supposed to teleport over long distances.
If it’s inaccurate, then there really is a problem.
Perhaps seeing Ye Yu’s expression sour, Feng Yingzhi quickly added, “Actually, you don’t need to worry too much.
I said maybe, not definitely inaccurate.
Anyway, take a look first.”
Feng Yingzhi casually opened the box.
The Boundary Pearl lay safely inside,
its cracks completely repaired.
Moreover, at the center, a nebula-like formation slowly rotated,
radiating dazzling brilliance.
“This is the repaired Boundary Pearl?”
Ye Yu picked it up and examined it carefully.
He could clearly feel an immeasurable, powerful ghostly energy contained within.
Honestly, from appearance alone, there was nothing wrong.
Feng Yingzhi smiled confidently.
“My restoration skills are beyond question.
But as an ancient underworld artifact, the Boundary Pearl’s structure is special.
I consulted many ancient texts but found nothing similar.
So I could only try cautiously.
What I want to tell you is:
this thing is definitely repaired, but the teleportation destination might have a slight deviation.
For example, if you want to go to the central Demon Realm,
it might take you to the western or southern Demon Realm instead.
That’s all.
Of course, I’ll need you to test it and give me data so I can adjust it promptly.
That way, it will be more perfect.”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
If it was just that kind of error, it was acceptable.
As long as it could reliably transport to the Demon or Monster Realms,
east or west didn’t matter.
Ye Yu gladly agreed and planned to test it himself immediately.
He called Ran Jingjing to ask about using the Boundary Pearl.
Ran Jingjing was excited when Ye Yu called.
But hearing it was Feng Yingzhi’s room,
her enthusiasm vanished instantly.
Disappointed—she had thought it would be a private date but found it was a three-person thing. Boring.
“The Boundary Pearl fixed so quickly? You’re going to the Monster Realm now? Take me with you?”
Ran Jingjing was very excited.
One, she hoped to have alone time with Ye Yu.
Two, she wanted to see the Monster Realm—she had never been.
Ye Yu decisively refused.
He didn’t reveal the testing to avoid worrying the ladies.
Naturally, he didn’t want to bring Ran Jingjing into danger.
So he cruelly declined.
Ran Jingjing felt a little down but explained how to use the pearl.
After hearing her, Ye Yu’s expression grew very interesting.
“Do we really need slogans and movements? Can’t we skip the movements?”
“I don’t know. The ancient texts say to do it this way. I’ve never tried without the movements.”
Ran Jingjing squinted slightly, smiling mischievously at Ye Yu.
No doubt,
as an ancient underworld artifact, the Boundary Pearl’s use was indeed peculiar and bizarre.
Users had to hold the /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ pearl,
draw circles before them,
stand with one hand on the waist and the other held high,
and shout a slogan:
“Boundary Pearl good, Boundary Pearl clever, Boundary Pearl quacks loud!”
Following all these steps, it was impossible not to feel embarrassed.
When Ran Jingjing first used it, she felt very awkward.
But now she really wanted to see Ye Yu do these actions.
It must be adorable, right?
Not only her, but even Feng Yingzhi was amused.
“Immortal Ye, don’t hesitate or waver.
Act immediately!
Using an ancient underworld artifact is an honor no one can snatch from you!”
Ye Yu was exasperated, gritting his teeth.
Then, with a thought, he activated a shielding formation.
His figure vanished from sight.
Ran Jingjing and Feng Yingzhi were a bit stunned and disappointed.
What a pity—they probably wouldn’t get to see Ye Yu’s silly movements after all.
The next moment,
a surging ghostly energy filled the room.
Ran Jingjing asked curiously, “What’s happening?”
Feng Yingzhi spread her hands excitedly.
“Success! I’ve successfully repaired the ancient underworld artifact.”
Meanwhile,
Ye Yu entered a very strange state.
His body felt incredibly light,
and the surroundings were like primordial chaos.
Everything became blurred.
Indeed, the shameful slogans and actions really worked.
But the correct way to activate the Boundary Pearl was quite... undignified.
Sigh.
Time passed.
When Ye Yu’s vision cleared again,
he found himself in an unfamiliar environment.
The dim sky proved this was definitely not the Heavenly Realm.
Had he succeeded?
Had he truly arrived at the Monster Realm?
What a Boundary Pearl, truly amazing...
Suddenly Ye Yu shuddered.
The strong aura around wasn’t monster energy but demon energy!
Damn!
Feng Yingzhi, this is your idea of “not much deviation”?
I clearly wanted to go to the Monster Realm, and you directly sent me to the Demon Realm!
And judging by the desolation, it was some godforsaken place!
Now the direction can’t even be trusted!
Damn it!
Ye Yu gripped the Boundary Pearl, wanting to try again.
But to his surprise, the pearl had grown dull.
The nebula at the center had completely disappeared,
replaced by darkness.
Seeing this,
Ye Yu’s heart sank completely.
No way, no way—
Did Feng Yingzhi’s repairs only work once, and now it was broken again?
How am I supposed to get back to the Heavenly Realm now?
Is she seriously this unreliable?
