Brother Didn't Bring Anything Valuable...
"If we have the chance later, let's go outside and capture some more demonic cultivators."
After wreaking havoc on the demonic cultivators in the southern part of the Nine Heavens Continent...
Tang Yu was still somewhat unsatisfied.
Fortunately, there's no law here; no one cares if you arrest a demonic cultivator.
"There are quite a few demonic cultivators in the east, and it's rather chaotic there. Once your cultivation level has improved, we can call some people to go there and give it a try."
Amber was also somewhat eager to try.
At that time, five or six Nascent Soul stage cultivators will sneak over there and capture a group of demonic cultivators.
That's definitely a good return.
"As for cultivation levels, take your time."
Tang Yu wasn't in a hurry to cultivate; he would meditate on the Dao whenever he had free time.
Anyway, my master said that I should only Dao Initiation the path of Tao after I have fully comprehended it.
There's a chance they could reach the Integration Stage in one go.
The Great Dao is the foundation for cultivators.
"Now that things here are done, if you're not in a hurry to return to the Joyous Union Sect, would you like to accompany me somewhere else?"
Amber extended an invitation.
"Okay, you've been keeping me company for so long, where are we going?"
"Nine Suns City in the Moonwatch Kingdom isn't far away."
"OK."
After agreeing, Tang Yu boarded Amber's flying magic weapon and headed straight for the Moonwatch Kingdom.
Moonwatch Kingdom falls under the sphere of influence of the Treasure Pavilion, with a total population of nearly 80 million, which is not considered a large country in this cultivation world.
Nine Suns City was the very city that was massacred by the Blood Demon Sect last time.
Subsequent statistics indicated that the death toll was approximately 1.2 million.
This tragedy was orchestrated by the Blood Demon Sect couple.
In order to help his Daoist partner Qiu Shuidie break through her cultivation realm, Xun Yuanshan attempted to refine all the mortals in the city.
If he succeeds, there might actually be a chance for Qiu Shuidie to break through her cultivation level.
After the two flew to Nine Suns City, all they could see was snow-white.
Every household was dressed in white mourning clothes.
Outside the gates of Nine Suns City, thousands of monks were chanting Buddhist scriptures as they entered the city.
The leading monk was an old monk at the Nascent Soul stage.
As he recited Buddhist scriptures, countless tiny golden characters fell like petals scattered by celestial maidens.
With each word spoken, a ghost in the city would have its resentment washed away and would kneel down and kowtow in gratitude to the old monk.
Upon seeing Amber arrive, the old monk clasped his hands together, nodded slightly in greeting, and continued leading the group forward.
After returning the greeting, Amber explained, "These monks are from West Joy Temple. The one just now was Sky Tree. I invited them to Nine Suns City to conduct a water and land ritual to deliver the souls of the deceased."
Over a million people died in the city in one fell swoop, and the resentment was overwhelming.
These innocent mortals, whose essence and blood were absorbed, became vengeful spirits unable to be reincarnated.
That's why she spent a lot of money to hold such a grand Buddhist and Daoist ritual.
Seeing the hint of guilt in Amber's expression, Tang Yu said softly.
"You've done very well. In this world, there are probably only a handful of great cultivators like you who are willing to treat mortals this way throughout the entire Nine Heavens Continent."
For cultivators, let alone treating mortals kindly, simply maintaining a peaceful coexistence is already quite difficult.
In the world of fantasy cultivation.
These mortals, who lack magical abilities and cannot cultivate, are trampled upon as freely as roadside weeds.
They were treated the same way, regardless of whether they belonged to a reputable sect or a heretical sect.
In Tang Yu's eyes, Amber was indeed a very unconventional girl.
As the head of the Treasure Pavilion, he possesses the Linglong of a businessman, as well as a kindness and warmth rarely found in other cultivators.
Even if she wasn't that pretty or had a great figure, Tang Yu was still willing to hang out with a girl like that.
"I understand, I just feel like I haven't done enough."
Amber nodded slightly. She had brought Tang Yu along specifically because she felt that Tang Yu was a kindred spirit.
Many people at the Treasure Pavilion felt that she was making a mountain out of a molehill in her treatment of ordinary people.
Even some older men opposed her.
She felt that the only person who could truly understand her was Tang Yu, and could only be Tang Yu.
That's why I brought him here specifically.
"It's okay, things will get better."
Tang Yu placed his hand on Amber's shoulder and patted her gently. He knew this silly girl needed his comfort right now.
Tang Yu patted him on the shoulder a few times.
Amber's gaze swept across Tang Yu's face imperceptibly before she spoke softly.
"Let's go in and take another look."
After saying that, she took the lead and walked forward, causing Tang Yu's hand on her shoulder to fall empty.
This made Tang Yu feel a little melancholy, wondering if it was because he hadn't held her tighter in his arms to offer more intimate comfort that she was upset?
But what if I actually do that, and then she makes me take responsibility and then jumps ship to the Treasure Pavilion?
A woman's cunning is something you must be careful of.
Otherwise, you'd be at a huge loss if you were tricked into sleeping with her.
After quickly catching up with Amber, the two walked down the street.
When the incident occurred in the city, Amber, who happened to be doing business nearby, rushed over immediately, thus saving the city from being destroyed by those two.
Follow Amber until you reach a small alley, where Amber stops and looks at a weathered wooden door in front of her.
The wooden door is the door of an ordinary old house, which looks like it has been uninhabited for many years.
The couplets and door gods on the door, however, were quite new.
Seeing Amber standing at the door with a nostalgic look on her face, Tang Yu asked with a smile.
"Is this your home?"
"It's my home."
Amber nodded, gently pushed open the door, and went inside.
The old house inside was just an ordinary residential building. Tang Yu noticed that a formation had been set up inside after she entered.
So even though no one lives there, the house remains spotless.
Standing in the courtyard, Amber's eyes glazed over for a moment as she recalled herself more than three hundred years ago.
Back then, she was just an innocent little girl, growing up carefree here, protected by her parents and elders. She thought she would be happy like this forever.
Until one day, the battle between the two great monks spread to this city.
She narrowly escaped death because she stayed at home.
Parents and elders who went out to work were not spared.
There will be no compensation afterwards.
After all, it was a battle between two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, gods and immortals; how could ordinary people like them be expected to demand compensation?
Forced to learn how to survive, Amber entered the Treasure Pavilion after reaching adulthood.
He won the favor of the previous head of the Treasure Pavilion with his extraordinary talent.
It was less than two hundred years after it entered the Treasure Pavilion.
She then personally killed two Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
One of them was also an elder of the Myriad Dharma Sect, one of the seven major sects.
The Myriad Dharma Sect should have clashed with the Treasure Pavilion over this, but Amber went to the Myriad Dharma Sect alone.
Ultimately, the matter was dropped, and the two companies still maintain a close cooperative relationship.
Seeing Amber standing there in a daze, Tang Yu tacitly remained silent.
After waiting for a while, Amber finally came to her senses and looked at Tang Yu with an apologetic smile.
"I got distracted thinking about things from the past."
"It's nothing, it's just that seeing these things reminds me of someone. My senior sister told me this before too."
Tang Yu smiled and shook her head to indicate that it was nothing.
Amber smiled gently. She had just intended to tell Tang Yu about some things from her past.
It's just that some things have been kept in my heart for so long that I don't know how to bring them up now.
While the two were chatting, several children ran to the door and peeked inside.
Upon seeing the Amber, one of the little girls screamed.
"The fairy goddess has arrived!"
"She really is a fairy goddess."
"Fairy Sister"
The other few chubby-cheeked little ones also called her "Fairy Sister" and rushed in from the doorway.
Seeing the children come in, Amber's face showed a more genuine smile.
She bent down and reached out to touch the little ones' heads with concern.
"Yingying, Xiaobao, Xiaohu, is everything alright at home?"
The children all shook their heads.
They weren't wearing mourning clothes, which clearly indicated that their family had been lucky enough to escape the calamity.
This made Amber feel a little better.
These children all live with their neighbors in the neighborhood.
Of course, in terms of seniority, the two are far apart.
"These are the children who live nearby. I run into them every year when I come back to put up couplets."
Amber smiled and explained to Tang Yu.
He then took out some pastries and spiritual fruits from his storage ring and distributed them to the children.
"One serving per person, remember to come again during the Chinese New Year, and I'll bring you some more delicious food."
Thank you, sister.
The group of little kids were quite polite, bowing and thanking them before wolfing down the pastries and spiritual fruits. The things the fairy sister brought were just so delicious.
The little girl named Yingying was more refined. After putting the spirit fruit into her pocket, she ate some pastries while looking at Tang Yu and calling out.
"Brother, are you a friend of the Fairy Sister?"
"They are very good friends."
Tang Yu smiled and opened her storage ring, intending to casually take out a small gift as a token of her appreciation.
But after rummaging through his things, an awkward problem arose in front of him.
He currently has a ton of magical artifacts and several thousand high-grade spirit stones in his storage ring.
But none of these things are suitable as gifts.
Especially when the other party is an ordinary child, sending them away might actually harm them.
Seeing Tang Yu rummaging through her storage ring for a while, Amber's smile became somewhat mischievous. She had clearly guessed that Tang Yu probably wouldn't carry such things with her like she did.
Just as she was about to help Tang Yu out of the predicament.
Tang Yu slowly took out a jade tube from her storage ring and said sincerely.
"My brother didn't bring much, this is a drawing he made..."
Before Tang Yu could finish speaking, Amber nearly used a spatial force to knock the boy into the dry well next to her.
She grabbed Tang Yu's arm to stop the guy's crazy actions, and then quickly looked at the children who looked puzzled.
"Your brother was just kidding. Next time he comes over, let him buy you candied hawthorns and meat buns, okay?"
"Good!"
Hearing that there were candied hawthorns and meat buns, the little ones were immediately overjoyed.
Perhaps it was the sound of a few little ones laughing.
A middle-aged couple appeared outside the courtyard gate, peeked in, and then walked in with complicated expressions.
After the couple called the child away, they looked at Amber and called out in a restrained and respectful tone.
"Sister Amber, it's been a long time."
"Isn't this something we see every year?"
Amber smiled faintly and said, "Your child has grown up so much in the blink of an eye."
"Yes... it's all thanks to you."
The couple gave a wry smile.
If they hadn't seen Amber come to put up couplets every year since they were children, how would they have dared to take the initiative to speak to a cultivator?
Seeing how reserved the two of them were.
After exchanging a few words with the other party, Amber led Tang Yu away from the courtyard.
