Chapter 2108

"Originally, I wanted to keep calling you 'Fifteen.' But 'Fifteen' sounds like 'food,' which is a bit weird. Plus, Senior Brother Sikong said that since we made up our own rankings, we should treat you as an outsider to that list. So, I thought it was better to just use your name or call you Junior Sister." Ouyang Tianyun answered with a grin.

Fifteen? Food? Zhu Yanyi hadn’t noticed that before. She almost wanted to argue, but after hearing the rest, she saw the logic. Besides, hadn’t she already started calling them Senior Brother Tianyun and Senior Brother Yunfei? It was the same principle.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t mind the matter anymore. She said, "To keep a Life-Devouring Gu alive, the Gu master must invest their own blood and essence. So, besides devouring an opponent’s life, the Gu can also find its master through special means. Now that Senior Brother Tianyun killed the Life-Devouring Gu, if Wang Guitian is indeed a Gu master as Wang Xiuliang said, she will definitely sense it. She will worry. If she fears her opponents are too strong, she needs a way to protect herself. Since her Life-Devouring Gu is gone, she will have to look for something else to replace it."

"Something else?" Yi Yunfei asked curiously.

"I don’t know what it is," Zhu Yanyi laughed. "I don’t have the ability to predict the future. But whatever it is, it’s unlikely she carries it on her person."

"Oh?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi from the side. "Why are you so sure she doesn’t carry many things with her?"

"Gu worms need specific environments to be stored. No one knows how long this snow disaster will last. Carrying Gu poison with you isn’t smart, unless she has storage tools like ours. But such things probably don’t exist in this plane," Zhu Yanyi said seriously.

Reality wasn’t a novel where you could just find a jade bracelet that was a storage vessel. That was impossible in ordinary planes.

Yan Aohan nodded. "So you think he will come back to get it?"

"Just now, I looked at the memories from what Binglan devoured. There were many successfully cultivated Gu worms inside, in huge numbers. For a Gu master, his proudest possession is his Gu worms. So, coming back to get them is very likely. Plus, he needs to protect himself, which makes it even more certain. What I’m curious about now is where he learned this Gu cultivation technique. I don’t recall Japan having many Gu masters."

That was the only thing Zhu Yanyi was curious about. She wasn’t curious about anything else.

Yan Aohan chuckled softly. "Since you’re curious, just ask him properly when Wang Guitian arrives."

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "It’s truly a turbulent time. Things that shouldn’t exist really shouldn’t appear."

Sikong Xuran took a sip of white liquor, looking intoxicated. "Actually, you can’t say that. Gu worms can be good too. Some can even help treat diseases. Also, if you and Lord Yan have time, you could raise a Heart-Link Gu. That’s a good treasure too."

"Never mind. We don’t need a Heart-Link Gu to understand each other’s hearts," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

They had the Purple-Gold Red String, so they didn’t need a Heart-Link Gu to add to their perfection.

"I was just suggesting," Sikong Xuran said. Seeing Zhu Yanyi’s reaction, she knew she and Yan Aohan probably already had something better than a Heart-Link Gu. But that was just her guess, and she wouldn’t say it outright.

Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "My wife and I already have something better than a Heart-Link Gu, so we don’t need one. But if you find a partner or Dao companion, you can raise one. It’s not easy to find someone who shares your heart in this world, especially for cultivators. But remember, once you take the Heart-Link Gu, you must never have another heart. If you betray, the consequence will be worse than death."

Sikong Xuran and Ouyang Tianyun didn’t have lovers, so they didn’t have much to say. Yi Yunfei smiled. "Looks like I need to study this Heart-Link Gu carefully."

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "There’s also a Life-Link Gu, similar to the Heart-Link Gu. It means sharing a bed in life and a grave in death, linking lives through countless lifetimes. This kind of Gu is rarely cultivated unless the love is extremely deep. This life’s bond is already rare, let alone the next life. Many people don’t dare to hope for that."

"Could it be that you and Lord Yan are using a Life-Link Gu?" Ouyang Tianyun asked casually.

Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "What we use is better. It’s not from the mortal world, nor the cultivation or immortal realms. It comes from the Divine Realm. It is the first thing to connect love since the beginning of heaven and earth. Yan Aohan and I are together as gods, as humans, and even as souls."

Zhu Yanyi smiled at Yan Aohan after saying this. Yan Aohan nodded with a smile. "Indeed, that is so."

"Alright. Although I want to say you’re making my eyes hurt, I have to admit you make me envious," Ouyang Tianyun said with a laugh.

Zhu Yanyi laughed too. "I feel the same way. You can only envy us. You can’t steal my husband."

After Zhu Yanyi finished speaking, Yan Aohan nodded in agreement from the side. "That’s right. I won’t be stolen, and my wife won’t be stolen either."

"Oh my," Sikong Xuran was speechless. "Can you two stop showing off your love all the time? What should I even say?"

Zhu Yanyi laughed. She found that showing off love to tease others was actually quite fun.

"Junior Sister really shows off her love for free," Yi Yunfei commented from the side. "It makes me want to see Feiyan."

"After we finish things here, we can go back in a while. Then you’ll be able to see Senior Sister Feiyan," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

Yi Yunfei nodded with a smile, but she had other thoughts. Before, she hadn’t spoken up with Jian Feiyan because she thought she understood. But now, she had her own ideas. It seemed keeping things unsaid wouldn’t work anymore. No matter what, she needed to speak up when she had time. she didn’t want to just watch others show off love; she wanted to show off her own love to others too.

"It seems someone is coming," Yan Aohan said, looking into the distance with a slight smile.

"Has someone arrived? Interesting," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile, standing on the treetop and looking ahead.

The others also stood up and looked in that direction.

Sure enough, Wang Guitian was walking hurriedly through the wind and snow. He knew he didn’t have much time. He needed to get the Fly Gu quickly and return. Although no one would monitor their movements, caution was always better.
