Mu Ye in Action, The Most Beautiful Girl

The Golden Dragon King's essence was sealed in layers within Tang Wulin's body. It could be said that the essence and its vessel, Tang Wulin, had long since become bound together in glory and ruin alike.

Given her current strength, the best course of action would be to destroy the vessel that was Tang Wulin and directly refine the Golden Dragon King's essence within.

However, the presence of that lethal crisis forced her to keep waiting for an opportunity.

"Since you are willing to stay in the East Sea, then follow your heart. After three years, I will personally recommend you to the headquarters. During these three years, if you encounter any trouble, you may seek out Vice Pagoda Master Liu, or you can send a message directly to me."

Hearing Gu Yue's choice, Leng Yaozhu raised her delicate brows slightly. She had originally intended to take Gu Yue with her, but after some thought, she decided to let Gu Yue have her way.

After all, she cherished talent, not the desire to control or sway Gu Yue's thoughts.

Moreover, it was a good thing for Gu Yue to have her own ideas; the spirit of youth was something that could never be regained once lost.

"Oh? Such a sudden surprise!"

Beside them, Na'er heard this, and the joy in her heart instantly bubbled over. Without Gu Yue's interference, she could return to a peaceful life with Jiang Xiu.

How could living one's life be the same with just anyone?

"Thank you, Pagoda Master."

Gu Yue bowed slightly in salute, then looked at Na'er, whose smile was difficult to suppress, and let out a soft huff in her heart.

Even if she wasn't going to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, she still had her own rhythm.

"It is nothing. In the future, we will all be one family."

Leng Yaozhu waved her hand slightly. Looking at the three harmonious youths before her, she couldn't help but crack a joke; these three little ones were all her future foundation.

"Alright, Xiao Xiu and Na'er, go and pack your things. After dinner, we will return to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. Gu Yue, you stay and eat with us as well."

As Leng Yaozhu's voice faded, Jiang Xiu and the others nodded slightly before preparing to leave the office to attend to their own affairs.

Gu Yue left Na'er with a meaningful smile before walking out of the Spirit Pagoda.

As the door closed, Leng Yaozhu crossed her jade legs once more. A trace of reminiscence flashed through her dark red phoenix eyes, and her red lips parted slightly, though a hint of bitterness lingered at the corners of her mouth.

Back then, she and her sister had been just like Jiang Xiu and the others, only that in the end, neither she nor her sister had obtained that man, and her sister had even fallen into the path of evil because of it.

Looking back now, she had simply been blinded by love at the time.

"Yulai, where are you now..."

A sigh echoed in the room, sounding like regret, and yet also like a question posed to herself.

Time flowed by, and the sun set, casting streaks of fiery red clouds that shone through the Spirit Pagoda's glass and onto the floor.

"Jiang Xiu, look, does this dress look good on me? And this necklace..."

In the luxurious room, Na'er was busy adjusting her makeup, asking Jiang Xiu, who stood to the side, from time to time.

Na'er wore a long white dress with golden patterns like drifting clouds along the hem. A section of her jade-like calves was exposed to the air, radiating a soft, lustrous glow.

Her silver-white hair cascaded over her shoulders, and a dark green necklace rested against her fair neck, further accentuating her peerless beauty. A fresh and refined aura wafted from her, brimming with the vitality of youth.

"It looks good, it all looks good, and it suits you perfectly."

Jiang Xiu replied casually, his eyes fixed on the photo his second master, Mu Ye, had just sent to his soul guidance communicator.

In this era, the soul guidance technology of the Douluo Continent had developed to be extremely close to the modern world of Jiang Xiu's past life; almost everything that should exist, did.

The photo sent via the soul device showed an ancient forest with towering trees. A few ten-year-old Soul Beasts were faintly visible, hiding within. In the air not far away, mist was actually swirling—a very peculiar mist, green on the outside, yet containing seven-colored light on the inside.

"Where did Master run off to?"

Jiang Xiu frowned slightly. In this day and age, such a forest was rare, especially one that still harbored Soul Beasts.

Looking closely at that cluster of mist, Jiang Xiu suddenly froze. A flash of realization crossed his mind, and his purple eyes widened.

"Why does this environment look like the Sunset Forest? Could that poisonous mist be the toxins released by a Seven-Colored Jade Phosphorus Flower? Did Master go to the area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?!"

Jiang Xiu was shocked, unable to believe it. His master had said he had something to take care of a while ago and had disappeared from the sect.

Now it seemed his master was planning to go "zero-dollar shopping" at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well controlled by the Tang Sect? But how did his master know the location, and how did he bypass the Tang Sect's tight security to get inside?

While Jiang Xiu was quite puzzled, a warm current surged in his heart. The purpose of his master's trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was self-evident; he was surely searching for immortal herbs for him and his senior brother.

"Ding-dong!"

Just as Jiang Xiu was feeling moved, the soul device chimed again, and a message appeared below the photo.

Second Master: Junior Uncle, I dug a tunnel and got in! I haven't let our ancestral skills go to waste.

Jiang Xiu blinked, confused. Junior Uncle?

"Dong! Dong!"

Two soft sounds followed, and just as Jiang Xiu was trying to make sense of it, those two messages were instantly recalled by Mu Ye.

Jiang Xiu realized his master had sent the message to the wrong person. The other end of the communicator seemed to be struck by embarrassment as well, and after a moment, another message arrived.

Second Master: My precious disciple, you definitely didn't see anything just now, right? [Smile][Smile][Smile].

Jiang Xiu clicked his tongue. He knew it; there was no way his master would tell him if he were doing something like this.

Jiang Xiu immediately put the soul device away. If he replied now, that would be the real disaster.

Jiang Xiu, however, did not hold much optimism for his master's current operation. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was not only guarded by the Tang Sect, but the immortal herbs within had already reached the level of two-hundred-thousand-year-old fierce beasts, further bolstered by the unique environment of the well itself.

Any slight disturbance would inevitably draw the attention of both parties.

Nevertheless, Jiang Xiu remained confident in his master's safety; as long as no Limit Douluo was present, his master possessed the absolute ability to escape.

But just as Jiang Xiu raised his gaze, he discovered that Na'er had arrived before him at some point, her beautiful eyes wide and round.

"Jiang Xiu, you didn't even look up just now, so how do you know if what I'm wearing looks good? Are you just humoring me! Look into my eyes and answer me!"

Na'er reached out with her slender hands to cup Jiang Xiu's face, her violet eyes staring intently into his.

After Gu Yue had left the office that afternoon, she had departed directly. Although Na'er did not know what Gu Yue was up to, she suspected that she certainly wouldn't be doing anything good at the evening banquet. She had to dress up properly; she absolutely could not lose her momentum at this farewell banquet.

Yet, Jiang Xiu was clearly just brushing her off!

"I don't even need to look; whatever you wear, Na'er, I think it looks good."

"After all, it's not that you look good because you're wearing them, but rather that you are already beautiful, and they are merely a slight embellishment."

Jiang Xiu's lips curled slightly as he spoke in a very earnest tone.

"Is... is that so..."

Upon hearing this, Na'er lowered her hands slightly, a flush of red appearing on her pretty face, even more vibrant than the sunset outside the window.

"Of course, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

Jiang Xiu said it as a matter of course. Over the past four years, he had become adept at knowing exactly how to coax Na'er.

But just then, the door opened from the outside.

Immediately following, a pair of beautiful legs covered in black silk stepped into the room first...
