Chapter 3017

"Yes," Jian Ying nodded with a simple, honest expression.

"Then why didn't you just tell that young lady who you were when you met her?" Yan Xiwan asked.

Jian Ying looked a bit shy. "My master said I am a blockhead. He told me not to reveal my sect to strangers, or bad people might trick me."

The other four people rubbed their foreheads in exasperation.

"Brother, how could your master let you come out alone like this?" Lu Fang said, patting Jian Ying’s shoulder with a helpless sigh.

Jian Ying looked innocent. "Because I need to find my wife."

The four of them were speechless again. So, he didn't care about being tricked because he was looking for his wife.

At that moment, they understood why she was so good to her demon-cultivator wife. In her heart, she only remembered her as her wife, not as a demon. she was completely devoted to her.

Because of this single-minded devotion, Yan Xiwan, Ouyang Tianyun, Lu Fang, and Pan Hongmei all found Jian Ying very likable.

"Why are you all looking at me like that?" Jian Ying asked, feeling shy.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled and shook his head. "Nothing. I just want to ask, what kind of sword path are you practicing now?"

When it came to swords, Jian Ying became excited. "I practice the Hero Sword."

"I have heard of the Gentleman Sword and the Hero Blade, but how can there be a Hero Sword?" Lu Fang asked curiously.

Jian Ying didn't need to answer. Ouyang Tianyun replied, "There is indeed a Hero Sword. The Gentleman Sword focuses on temperament, while the Hero Sword focuses on character and courage. It suits Jian Ying well."

The simple, straightforward man in front of them was indeed suitable for practicing the Hero Sword.

Jian Ying smiled shyly. "That is why my wife always calls me a blockhead."

"Stop it. Your wife isn't here, yet you are still showing off your love in front of us. That is wrong," Pan Hongmei said directly.

"What does 'showing off love' mean?" Jian Ying asked curiously.

"It means what you are doing now—flaunting your affection," Lu Fang explained.

"My wife and I don't need to flaunt our love. We are already very loving," Jian Ying said seriously. "Although I am a sword cultivator and my personality is a bit dull, my wife and I have been very loving since we got married."

Yan Xiwan collapsed onto Ouyang Tianyun’s shoulder. "Why does she keep talking about her wife whenever she is mentioned?"

Ouyang Tianyun laughed. "Actually, it’s not just him. If I talk about you, I would also talk endlessly. Only those who truly care for their wives will show them off all the time."

Ouyang Tianyun coughed lightly. "Although I disagree with his behavior of showing off in front of us, I am glad about one thing: his feelings for his wife are very deep."

Only another man like Ouyang Tianyun could understand this.

Yan Xiwan could also see that Jian Ying truly loved his wife very much. However, they were currently separated.

"Since that is the case, let’s find a way to help him find his wife," Ouyang Tianyun said with a smile. "Then we can show off our own love in front of them, so we don’t always have to eat this blockhead’s 'dog food' (show of affection)."

"Yes," Yan Xiwan nodded seriously.

"My 'blockhead' title can only be called by my wife. You cannot call me that." As expected of a blockhead, he was still showing off his love at this moment.

But with such a blockhead around, everyone was very happy on the journey.

"It will take eleven days of flying to reach the Piao Miao Palace," Ouyang Tianyun said, pointing in the direction after they had been flying for more than ten days.

"I can't believe I agreed to take a flying boat. If I had known, we would have used a teleportation array," Yan Xiwan said with a helpless look.

Although life on the flying boat was comfortable and they could see the scenery, Yan Xiwan felt bored from being in the air for so long.

"Originally, I planned to take you to the teleportation array. But considering Jian Ying’s situation, I decided to stick with the flying boat," Ouyang Tianyun said, rubbing Yan Xiwan’s head.

"I don't know which path Jian Ying’s wife will take. But if she really goes to the Piao Miao Palace, she can only take this route in the end."

Ouyang Tianyun explained seriously.

"Oh," Yan Xiwan nodded. Then she looked at Jian Ying. "Jian Ying, let’s make a deal first. Because of you, we suffered a lot this time. So no matter what, when we find your wife, you must treat us to a meal to reward us."

"That is no problem," Jian Ying nodded seriously. "But your cultivation levels are so high now. Is it okay to always think about eating?"

"Jian Ying, don’t be too rigid. You know, sometimes eating can lead to understanding the Dao," Lu Fang said with a smile.

Jian Ying didn't understand, but regardless, he got along very well with the group.

"Tianyun, what is that place ahead?" Yan Xiwan asked as she saw a mountain in the distance.

"Oh, that is the Two Realms Mountain, also known as the Immortal-Demon Mountain. Although the name sounds nice, it is very desolate," Ouyang Tianyun said.

"There is resentment here," Yan Xiwan said seriously to Ouyang Tianyun, looking at the Two Realms Mountain.

Ouyang Tianyun raised his eyebrows slightly. "Which direction? Or where is it strongest? Let’s go take a look."

Yan Xiwan pointed in a direction. "Here."

Ouyang Tianyun made a hand seal, and the flying boat moved toward that location.

The flying boat quickly approached the destination Yan Xiwan had pointed to. However, before it could descend, it lost balance, as if something was trying to swallow it.

Ouyang Tianyun raised his eyebrows slightly, made a hand seal, and immediately surrounded the flying boat with a barrier. Then, the flying boat descended steadily.

"What was that just now? It had such strong suction power," Lu Fang asked curiously.

They knew Ouyang Tianyun’s flying boat was always stable. It was clearly an immortal artifact. The fact that it was pulled down showed that the situation here was truly unusual.

"Resentment," Yan Xiwan said, looking ahead.

In Yan Xiwan’s eyes, the space ahead was pitch black, devoid of life and hope, filled with hostility, gray-black darkness, and evil.

Moreover, this aura was caused by countless resentful souls.

"There are many resentful souls here. Tianyun, do you know what the Two Realms Mountain was used for in the past?" Yan Xiwan asked.

Ouyang Tianyun pondered for a moment. "I only remember that the Two Realms Mountain used to be a trial secret realm. But later, for some unknown reason, the secret realm disappeared, and the Two Realms Mountain from within it appeared in this location. Originally, there was no Two Realms Mountain here."
