Chapter 227 I can recognize you at a glance
"Taste?" That word sounds strange; someone who didn't know better might think she was a vampire.
Yun Fuzhao stared at his neck, and biting his neck made it even more convincing.
"What's wrong?" Yu Ze looked at her. "You can try Que Chi's, but you can't try mine?"
He said it in a sarcastic tone, but he couldn't help it.
"That's not true."
Yun Fuzhao broke free from his hand, and just as the unhappiness in Yu Ze's eyes was about to surface, she heard her say, "The main thing is that if you're imitating me, I can tell the difference."
Yu Ze froze, staring blankly at her.
Does this mean he holds a special place in Yun Fuzhao's heart? So special that she can recognize him at a glance...?
“Yun Fuzhao,” Yu Ze looked away, the tips of his ears beneath his dark hair turning slightly red, his Adam's apple bobbing as he whispered, “Me too.”
No matter what she looks like, he will definitely recognize her immediately.
However, Yun Fuzhao's true thoughts were that Yu Ze's gaze gave people a sticky, damp feeling, as if they were soaking in a cold, wet swamp, and no one could simulate it.
“Oh, right,” Yun Fuzhao suddenly remembered something, “weren’t you going to show me something?”
Unwittingly veerging the conversation off-topic, Yun Fuzhao stared at him, "Could it be a specialty of the Demon Realm?"
"A specialty of the Demon Realm..." Yu Ze thought for a moment, "...probably the skulls of enemies. Would you like some?"
"……No."
Yun Fuzhao reasonably suspected that demons were the type to keep the skulls of their enemies under their beds or wear them as badges.
Upon hearing her refusal, Yu Ze showed a regretful expression. "Alright."
“Do you remember what you mentioned before?” Yu Ze paused, then opened his palm again, revealing a jet-black key, “The Key of Destiny.”
Yun Fuzhao's eyes lit up. "Where did you get this?"
“This thing was originally meant to be given to the successive Demon Lords,” Yu Ze said, his eyes darkening. “Ying Tianjue’s demon clan actually dared to deceive us…”
"This thing can unlock ancient divine relics. Guard it well, lest it attract unwanted attention."
"Who dares?"
Yun Fuzhao pointed to himself with his index finger, "Me."
Yu Ze: "..."
The air was silent for a few seconds, then Yu Ze grasped her wrist and placed the Key of Destiny in her hand. "It was meant to be yours anyway."
Yun Fuzhao: "That's so embarrassing."
Having spent so much time together, Yu Ze was already familiar with her routine; in layman's terms, she was just being polite.
Yu Ze gently cupped her fingers together and pulled them together. "This thing has no meaning to me."
“This is something that can unlock ancient miracles,” Yun Fuzhao decided to emphasize the importance of the Key of Destiny to him. “Obtaining the miracle will allow you to attain enlightenment and ascend to the upper realm. Don’t you want to go to the upper realm?”
Yu Ze hadn't really thought about this question; he wasn't particularly interested in cultivation or ascension. "Do you want to go?"
"I want to go."
Yun Fuzhao was quite eager to meet the influential figures who had been supporting her in the live stream.
[He Yu, Fourth Guard of the Yun Family Brigade: As long as you continue cultivating along this path, ascension will not be a problem.]
[Yun Family Team 3, Ren Chensheng: That's right, I don't think we even need to look for that miracle. With us here, ascension will be a piece of cake.]
That's true. Yun Fuzhao was able to ascend to immortality without pain thanks to the rewards from powerful figures.
"Alright, I'm going back to rest for a bit." Yun Fuzhao yawned. "See you later."
Yu Ze nodded, watching her leave until her figure completely disappeared from sight, then he whispered, "Then I'd like to go too."
……
Yun Fuzhao returned to his residence and was about to take a nap when he suddenly remembered that there was still a gemstone in his storage bag that he hadn't opened.
She thought for a moment, then turned over and sat up.
Before opening it, she took three sticks of incense and prayed with utmost sincerity.
"Jiaoyu, you drive."
His luck might be better than mine.
The jade pendant wrapped around her wrist transformed into a human form, looking exactly like a young boy, kneeling before Yun Fuzhao.
The technique was clean and efficient.
The black outer shell of the gemstone was broken open, revealing what was inside.
When Yun Fuzhao saw that thing, his expression changed slightly. That white, key-shaped object was none other than the Key of Destiny!
She actually got two in one day.
Yun Fuzhao picked up the key and examined it carefully under the light. "It has to be you again, Jiaoyu. You're incredibly lucky, aren't you?"
"Are you happy?" Jiaoyu stared at her with her crimson eyes, as if trying to discern her emotions.
"happy."
Yun Fuzhao's eyebrows and eyes were curved.
Jiaoyu mimicked her expression and gave an awkward smile.
He is not yet fully adapted to the human body, and he is still very unfamiliar with human expressions.
Yun Fuzhao touched his head; the horns on his head were cool and smooth, like jade. The feel was exceptionally good.
Jiaoyu obediently knelt in front of her, lowering her head and letting her touch her.
Having had her fill, Yun Fuzhao turned her gaze back to the Keys of Destiny. She now had three in her hands, and according to Ge Kui, there were a total of ten Keys of Destiny.
The key to destiny for the Southern Continent is in the hands of the Xuantian Sect, while the key for the Northern Continent is mostly in the hands of the Shangguan family. Qi Huai has one, Yu Ze has one, Ge Kui and Que Yu each have one, and the one Ke Ruotong gave her was snatched away by Que Yu.
Aside from the seven owned by the major powers, three more are scattered across various realms.
She has just opened a gem and gotten one, which means there are still two more out there.
It seems like there's a good chance of collecting all of these.
Yun Fuzhao drifted off to sleep as she pondered these thoughts. She was utterly exhausted from all the traveling.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Jiaoyu gently picked up the quilt from the bed and covered her with it.
It wasn't dark yet, and the outside light was bright. The bright light shone on her face, and Yun Fuzhao's brows furrowed slightly.
Jiaoyu moved to sit in front of her, blocking most of the light for her.
He remained motionless; to an outsider, he would have looked like a stone statue lying in front of her bed.
With his furrowed brows relaxed, Yun Fuzhao fell into a deep sleep.
Sleep until the next morning.
Yun Fuzhao had just finished washing up when she heard Song Ying's voice from outside.
"Senior Sister Yun, are you going to watch something interesting?"
Song Ying smiled and said, "The Yu family is very lively."
The Yu family?
"Don't they live in the Xuantian Palace?"
“Yes,” Song Ying said, arms crossed, her expression tinged with schadenfreude. “They are clearly from the Northern Continent, yet they act like they’re the masters. They’ve been clamoring to inspect all the major sects since early this morning. And look what happened, they’ve been turned away quite a few times.”
Yun Fuzhao clicked his tongue in astonishment. How dare they say such things? They were far too arrogant; didn't they know that the people of the Southern Continent loathed them?
Song Ying said, "Judging by the time, they should be arriving at our sect soon."
Yun Fuzhao had an idea. "Since they're already here, and we're the hosts, we can't neglect them. Let them in as soon as they arrive."
Seeing Yun Fuzhao's expression, Song Ying knew she was up to something.
He immediately replied, "Okay."
