Chapter 460: Chapter 458: Youluo Sneaks a Bite and Runs, Returns to the Floating Cloud Mountains, and Meets Jiang Qingge

By now, Ye Youyu had pretty much figured things out.

Back then, that clumsy outsider wasn’t clumsy at all, but crafty!

He never spoke a word of truth, and I, unfortunately, treated him so genuinely afterward.

Instead, he almost fooled me into being a fool.

Whenever she thought of this, Ye Youyu felt a weight on her heart, and even her past gratitude to Lu Ye turned into gritted teeth.

Used as a furnace and then ran off... without saying a word, truly rotten to the core!

So, unlike others who wholeheartedly wanted to find the reincarnated Nine Nether Empress, Ye Youyu also had the thought of finding that trickster.

"In that case, first send a few people to locate the Cyan Origin Realm, then arrange corresponding measures to determine the teleportation anchor point!"

In the next moment, with a wave of her red sleeve, Ye Youyu gave the orders directly.

"Yes, Domain Master."

...

Inside the cave.

In Lu Ye’s palm, ten Source Crystals were instantly absorbed, turning into powder.

Having raided the Three Yin Sect’s warehouse, the resources in Lu Ye’s hands were now terrifyingly abundant, richer than most at the Earth Tier Middle Stage.

Lu Ye was now turning all these resources he could digest into part of his strength.

Once he exhausted the old Source Crystals, he immediately took out a new batch.

After advancing to Earth Tier Grandmaster, Lu Ye felt as if his Dantian could never be filled.

Twenty Source Crystals absorbed, only a few wisps of Grandmaster’s Source Qi appeared in his Dantian.

After a full day of cultivation in the cave, Lu Ye finally finished, planning to check on Jiang Qingge.

He originally intended to do this last time, but unfortunately, he encountered a few people from the Nine Nether Realm on the way.

Getting up and stepping outside the cave, Youluo was enthusiastically on guard outside.

Seeing Lu Ye emerge, Youluo was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, my lord husband, you’re done cultivating, so soon!"

Without correcting her, Lu Ye said, "I’m planning to go back and see Jiang Qingge. Would you like to come along?"

"Ah..."

At his words, Youluo, who had been delighted, was suddenly startled.

They just cooked together yesterday... is it really appropriate to see the lord now?

If she had seen Jiang Qingge before, Youluo would have been happy, but now she’s a bit embarrassed.

Though she helped her lord relieve worries... she never really asked if the lord needed help, after all.

So, only Youluo knew that her so-called help was not entirely sincere, and as Lu Ye guessed, somewhat deliberate.

"Uh... maybe Youluo shouldn’t go," Youluo hesitated for a while before finding an excuse: "Youluo might have something to do. Perhaps I’ll visit the City of Chaos."

Seeing Youluo’s flushed face, having found an excuse with difficulty, Lu Ye found it amusing.

You were happy while eating, but now you’re afraid after it’s over?

However, Youluo’s true identity hadn’t been revealed to Jiang Qingge.

Meeting in Cloud Leaf City was fine, but taking her to that cave would certainly arouse Jiang Qingge’s suspicion.

After all, it was agreed to hide identities and stay hidden for a while to avoid any situations.

Bringing someone along suddenly would indicate that this person is trusted, which wouldn’t be easy to explain.

Lu Ye planned to tell Jiang Qingge about herself after she found the third Empress Origin.

And, if possible, help her awaken her memories.

"That’s fine, perhaps you haven’t decided how to meet Jiang Qingge yet." Lu Ye nodded, saying, "I’m in the Northern Territory at the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. If you want to come, just do."

Lu Ye, of course, trusted Youluo entirely; she was Jiang Qingge’s close confidante.

During the Cloud Leaf City days, when he wasn’t at the Jiang Family, she mostly looked after Jiang Qingge.

Relieved that her lord husband didn’t require her presence, Youluo quietly let out a breath.

She might be carefree, but she was a bit scared facing Jiang Qingge.

"Then I’ll be leaving!" Youluo was ready to depart immediately.

"Is your body okay now?" Lu Ye asked upon seeing this.

"I’m fine, fully recovered. My lord husband, let’s talk next time, and then we can cook!" In front of Lu Ye, Youluo donned a black robe, soared into the sky, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

"Hear Jiang Qingge’s name and bolt faster than a rabbit..."

Watching Youluo, who quickly became a black dot in the sky, Lu Ye couldn’t help but shake his head.

In the next second, Lu Ye left the area, heading towards the Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

...

Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

Inside a secluded cave, occupied for some months, the cave had gained a hint of vitality.

At this moment, a woman in a white dress was seated on a stone platform, cultivation technique in motion, behind her...

A scene of the Nine Netherworld seemed to appear, a vast domain devoid of sky.

However, this scene wasn’t as clear as when Lu Ye activated his Star Divine Body.

Instead, it flickered, almost ready to dissipate at any moment.

Naturally, the one cultivating in the cave was Jiang Qingge, whose strength had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Fifth Layer.

Initially, she thought reaching the Grandmaster Realm would slow her progress.

Jiang Qingge discovered it didn’t slow as she had expected.

The thing she absorbed that night, whatever it was, brought significant change.

At this moment, engrossed in cultivation, Jiang Qingge suddenly sensed something.

In her perception, it seemed someone was flying directly toward her, with the destination seemingly this precise spot!

"Who’s coming?!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Straightaway, Jiang Qingge was somewhat alarmed.

Although she possessed Grandmaster Realm strength, she felt she couldn’t fully wield it.

Moreover, this swiftly approaching presence, without revealing cultivation, exerted an oppressive feel from afar.

A moment later, that presence drew significantly closer, almost within a hundred meters of this cave.

"Hmm, a bit familiar... is it Lu Ye?!"

Having reached Martial Arts Grandmaster, Jiang Qingge’s spiritual sense could cover over a hundred meters.

At this point, as her spiritual sense spread, picking up the approaching presence, Jiang Qingge froze.

Why did it seem... like Lu Ye was back?

Indeed, the hundred-meter distance was quickly covered. As the figure appeared at the cave entrance, Jiang Qingge looked up...

"It’s really you... husband?!"

In an instant, a joyful smile appeared on Jiang Qingge’s cheeks.
