Chapter 881: Chapter 247: Elder Ping’an Sails West, Ancient Hall Reveals the Human Fruit

So, he just smiled faintly and said, "No worries, I’ll be careful on my own."

Li Wan’er, knowing her father’s temperament, gently nodded.

At this moment, another silver-robed figure descended lightly from the high deck and landed gently on the ground.

A familiar voice echoed.

"Xiao Ping’an, I’m going with you!"

Li Wan’er turned to the silver-robed figure and smiled, "With Grandmother Yaojue accompanying Father, I feel much more at ease."

This silver-robed figure was indeed Yaojue, and she stood with her long legs lightly together, neck held high with pride.

Her pretty face and warm lips curled into a soft smile, exuding an aura of mischievous charm that was hard to dislike...

She patted her chest and said, "Don’t worry."

Having said that, she turned back to glance at the higher ground.

Behind the railing on the high ground, a faintly visible silhouette of a woman stood tall and beautiful, like a frost-carved jade statue from a distance, none other than Cui Huayin.

Beauties always court trouble, especially Cui Huayin.

This already stunning Princess Consort Yin, after being nurtured by the Spiritual Qi in the Immortal Realm and breaking through to the Fourth Grade, had become breathtakingly beautiful, captivating cities and causing nations to fall.

Her beauty was not of the frail, ethereal, sweet, or lovely kind; rather, it was like a magic-filled, plump peach.

Any man seeing her would instinctively feel parched, like a traveler from the desert, drenched in sweat and thirsting for fresh spring water suddenly beholding a juicy, ripe peach.

Cui Huayin’s appearance was linked with terms like "possessiveness" and "desire," and even one of her toes exuded a tempting flavor that made people want to indulge wickedly.

If it were just that, it would not suffice.

Cui Huayin’s body and temperament were contradictory.

Her body was enticing, but her temperament was aloof.

It was like placing that ripe, juicy peach inside a crystal case that couldn’t be opened—visible, but unreachable.

Since she broke through to the Fourth Grade the year before last, she has always worn a veil, and in the East Sea Immortal Realm, she was one of those rare women with a "highly notable title."

The Enchanting Demon — that was her title.

Enchanting, alluring.

Demon, bewitching to madness.

Indeed, there were sordid rumors spread within the Immortal Realm — that to bring foreign factions to their knees, one must first have the Enchanting Demon kneel between their legs; to become the strongest of the young generation, one must first become the master of the Enchanting Demon.

These rumors were not unrelated to Li Ping’an’s strength.

If Li Ping’an hadn’t stood up that night, perhaps these rumors wouldn’t have spread so wildly.

But had Li Ping’an not stood up, he wouldn’t even be an Elder, nor have a cave abode.

Whether to endure humiliation kneeling or stand up to resist was never a question for Li Ping’an.

...

...

Though the Human Emperor was indulging the emissaries from the Immortal Realm, necessary surveillance still existed, which is why there were many camps outside Moon River Beach.

Li Yuan’s eyes didn’t miss this observation naturally either.

The pair of Little Sparrow and Xiao Wu Ya, ever the good companions, were always chirping away on one nearby tree.

This tree was just an ordinary one, but not far away, a Tree Grandmother Xiaozhao was hiding and lying in wait.

Due to the oppressive Meat Field and the Emperor’s strict oversight, Xiaozhao only had five Third Grade Second Realms, four Tree Grandmothers, and one Glacial Xiaozhao.

Li Ping’an and Yaojue hadn’t landed from Moon River Beach but flew to the other side instead.

However, on the second day after landing, Yaojue stealthily walked to Moon River Beach, wandered around, and then left.

After she left, a little sparrow and a Xiao Wu Ya followed her.

Yaojue quickly sensed the pair, and a strong sense of joy and anticipation welled up inside her.

She reached out her hand, and sure enough, the sparrow landed on her left shoulder, and the crow on her right.

The sparrow could not speak.

The crow cawed, "Aunt Yao, you’ve returned?"

Yaojue was well acquainted with Xiaozhao and was one of the few among Li Yuan’s women who knew the most information, her knowledge on par with Xue Ning and Xie Wei.

Moreover, when Xiaozhao was young and learning to draw, Yaojue was the one who taught her.

Upon hearing this, Yaojue chuckled, "Where’s your father?"

The crow lifted its wing, pointing at the sparrow opposite.

The sparrow could not speak but simply nodded.

Yaojue breathed a sigh of relief, laughing excitedly, "I knew that no matter how much Central Earth changes, you would always be in the right place observing everything.

As long as I went to the right place, you would certainly know."

The sparrow nodded again.

Yaojue joyfully hugged the sparrow close to her chest.

The sparrow was squeezed and nearly drowned in the terrible waves.

Fortunately, the crow spoke up quickly, hastily reminding, "Aunt Yao, it’s just an ordinary sparrow. Father said the more ordinary, the less noticeable."

Yaojue hurriedly released it, then petted the sparrow’s little crest, saying, "Sorry, I got too excited."

The sparrow couldn’t speak...

Subsequently, Yaojue began to slowly recount recent events in the East Sea and why and how she had come there...

After explaining, she chuckled, revealing gleaming white teeth, leaned close to the sparrow’s ear, and said, "The Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Realm is truly nourishing; I’m already Fourth Grade."

The sparrow nodded.

Xiao Wu Ya fluffed his wings, "Aunt Yao is amazing."

Yaojue, not being naive, giggled, "Surely, you all are even more amazing."

Xiao Wu Ya animatedly replied, "Actually, not really, if Aunt Yao had come earlier, I’d have been forty-one Third Grades, but now... eh, just merely five Third Grades."

Yaojue: ?????????

Despite her utmost caution, it seemed she had been duped.

She didn’t even grasp the meaning entirely.
