Chapter 1040: Reunion at Last (Part 2)

Amidst the thatched pavilion, the golden-haired monkey had a peculiar expression as it scrutinized the Yun Yuejiao in front of it. It then turned to Shen Chongming and grinned, saying, “So you, young man, not only know how to get into trouble, but you also have quite a bit of luck.”

“The bloodline of this demon cultivator is indeed impressive. I’m afraid it’s hard to find a second one in the entire Cangmin Sea Region.”

As soon as the golden-haired monkey finished speaking, Yun Yuejiao respectfully lowered its head and said, “Senior, do you know the bloodline of this little demon?”

This Yun Yuejiao had always claimed that it carried the bloodline of an Ancient Divine Beast, but it clearly didn’t know which Divine Beast it was specifically.

Now, with the golden-haired monkey’s comment, it was evident that it had discerned its bloodline.

The golden-haired monkey, rare in its calmness, clasped its hands behind its back and spoke solemnly, “Indeed, I know.”

“If my old ape guessed correctly, you should possess two kinds of Ancient Divine Beast bloodlines.”

“The first is the auspicious beast ‘Jiao’, as recorded in ancient texts: the auspicious beast Jiao resembles a wolf-dog, has leopard spots, a cow horn on its head, and its voice is like its name.”

“Jiao is an auspicious beast of harvest, and its appearance often foretells a bountiful harvest.”

“Such a Divine Beast is also linked with favorable time and place and is an extremely wise existence.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed through Yun Yuejiao’s eyes.

It was clearly very pleased with its ancestors.

“And the other kind of Divine Beast in you is quite peculiar…” The golden-haired monkey looked at its moon-white fur and pondered for a moment, then said, “Although I, the old ape, cannot make an accurate judgment, my conjecture should not be far off.”

“In ancient legends, there is an exotic beast called the ‘Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast’. This beast is naturally of the Taiyin Body, often regarded as the embodiment of Taiyin traversing the world.”

“The Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast has a gentle temperament and is considered extremely attractive among demons, making it the object of affection for many demons.”

As the golden-haired monkey spoke to this point, Yun Yuejiao’s eyes were already filled with joyousness.

However, the golden-haired monkey’s next words made it somewhat embarrassed.

“Precisely because it possesses the Taiyin Body, the Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast is notorious among demons for being promiscuous. Whenever it encounters a powerful and desirable Divine Beast, it will actively seek copulation…”

“So in the Cangmin Sea Region, demon cultivators possessing the Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast bloodline are probably not few.”

“Even some people of the Human Race with the Taiyin Body or the Profound Yin Body are likely related to the Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast.”

The golden-haired monkey’s words left Yun Yuejiao rather embarrassed, while Li Qing and Shen Chongming also had peculiar expressions.

The scene fell into a brief awkwardness, but the golden-haired monkey broke the silence with a laugh.

“Pay no mind to these things.”

“For all living beings, reproduction is instinctive.”

“Compared to the Moon Spirit Cloud Swallowing Beast, pure-blooded Dragon Species are even more excessive, or else, where would there be so many mixed-blood Dragon Species in the world?”

“Brother Jin!”

As soon as the golden-haired monkey finished speaking, Li Qing, standing beside it, cast it a wry, sideways glance.

He didn’t expect that while he was happily watching the play, this old monkey turned the topic and dragged the Dragon Species into it.

The licentiousness of the Dragon Species—though the golden-haired monkey’s words had no intent to slander.

But it’s ultimately not a glorious thing, and Li Qing decidedly didn’t want it brought up.

“Enough, enough.”

“Being as you’re a fellow demon cultivator and without a place to return, you might as well stay on this island.”

“We can accompany each other in the future.”

“With your talent in the Alchemy Dao, Brother Li’s path in future cultivation should also be much easier.”

Hearing this, Yun Yuejiao hurriedly suppressed its embarrassment and nodded respectfully: “Thank you, senior, for taking me in.”

The golden-haired monkey waved its hand: “No need for these senior titles; we’ll call each other brothers from now on.”

“However, think of a way to transform for yourself later, otherwise, in this true form, it’ll be troublesome even to sit down and have a drink in the future.”

Yun Yuejiao paused slightly, then nodded.

Previously, it had been living in seclusion, staying in its true form comfortably, and hadn’t considered transformation.

Now, with the golden-haired monkey’s suggestion, it realized the necessity of transforming into human form.

“In that case, this little demon… I, I’ll first go refine a batch of Elixirs, to ensure a quicker, more thorough transformation.”

The transformation for demon cultivators is an extremely slow process.

This transformation does not refer to the technique of transformation but is a fundamental change in form.

Yun Yuejiao needs to refine Elixirs to assist, allowing the transformation to occur faster.

“Old ape will take you to find a place.”

The golden-haired monkey and Yun Yuejiao left the thatched pavilion.

Shen Chongming turned to Li Qing and cupped his hands: “Fellow Daoist Li, Chongming has brought you a surprise.”

Hearing this, Li Qing became somewhat curious: “Oh?”

“Don’t say anything yet, let me guess.”

He slowly stood up, contemplated briefly, and said, “When Fellow Daoist returned just now, I sensed quite a few cultivators’ Breaths accompanying you onto the island…”

“Isn’t it that your third uncle also came over?”

Seeing the delight on Li Qing’s face and feeling its subtle divine sense waves, Shen Chongming didn’t reveal any truth.

This guy…

“Third Uncle is at Chongxu’s place. Fellow Daoist Li, would you like to come with me to see?”

Li Qing, with his hands behind his back and a hint of pride, initially intended to maintain his composure but sensed Shen Chongming’s teasing gaze, so he waved his hand: “Enough, enough, might as well accompany you while there’s nothing else to do.”

The two of them walked outside the pavilion together, with Li Qing’s pace noticeably quicker.

In Shen Chongxu’s courtyard, everyone was sitting together chatting joyfully.

Shen Xiuchan, who had gone to fetch Mu Yan and the Shen Family cultivators, also returned.

Two figures appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, and Shen Chongming stepped forward and cupped his hands: “Third Uncle, look who your nephew has brought.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen’an stood up, and as he turned, he saw a proud figure in a light blue robe, with two tender dragon horns atop its head.
