Ascension to a Heavenly Immortal (23)

"But now you've not only transformed yourself into Mountain Folk, you've even built a house with your own hands."

As he said this, Jinjiao couldn't help but glance back at the mud-brick house behind him, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

Actually, a year ago, when Lady Bagui first returned to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Li Boyang had already foreseen her existence and informed Jinjiao, who was more composed.

Jinjiao hesitated for a long time and found out what Lady Bagui had done before choosing to come to him today.

As for Yinjiao?

Li Boyang didn't believe that, given her personality, she would take the initiative to acknowledge Lady Bagui, this suddenly appearing "mother."

"I knew this day would come sooner or later..."

To Jinjiao's surprise, Lady Bagui only stared blankly for a moment before laughing calmly.

Then she slowly walked to Jinjiao's side and tentatively reached out to stroke his head.

After confirming that Jinjiao had no intention of dodging, Lady Bagui's smile widened.

"If I hadn't stayed here for almost a year..."

"I may never know that I actually like children so much."

With her eyes slightly narrowed, Lady Bagui's smile was full of tenderness.

"Watching those children grow up little by little, watching them walk together, laughing and chatting..."

"Now I think I understand why that wretched woman Wu Yao would go to such lengths for them."

Unconsciously raising his head, Jinjiao looked up at Lady Bagui with a slightly bewildered expression.

"Is this Li Boyang's final ultimatum to me?"

"I never imagined that I would have the chance to see you again before I left the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

"It's a pity your sister didn't come. Does she dislike me?"

Somewhat bewildered, Jinjiao shook his head and instinctively replied.

"No, Master didn't tell Yinjiao this news, and neither did I."

With a slightly surprised blink, Lady Bagui nodded knowingly.

"That's true. There are some things she shouldn't know, after all, I've heard a bit about her personality."

After saying that, Lady Bagui raised her arm again and said softly.

"I'll leave once I've packed my things. I won't make things difficult for you."

It was only at this moment that Jinjiao suddenly woke up and hurriedly grabbed Lady Bagui's sleeve and said.

"I'm not here to send you away, and Master didn't say you had to leave the Hundred Lands Mountain Range."

Now it was Lady Bagui's turn to lower his head in surprise, as if trying to judge from Jinjiao's face whether he was lying.

As a result, Lady Bagui naturally didn't see anything.

Yunmeng Marsh, Flying Peak.

Under Li Boyang's sweet talk, Xiluo was eventually tricked into donning the feather robe.

Of course, judging from Xiluo's excited expression alone, it's hard to tell whether she took the bait willingly.

Once someone dons the feathered robe from Yin Fei, regardless of their original species, they will automatically acquire the forms of the Guhuo Bird (a mythical bird) and the Night-Wandering Woman.

The Guhuo Bird goes without saying; it is itself an image of a large bird of prey.

Xiluo's Guhuo Bird was entirely crimson, its feathers as dazzling and eye-catching as flames.

Just by circling once in the sky, Xiluo had already sensed the power and terror of this raptor's body.

Although it is made of flesh and blood, it possesses strength comparable to steel.

Moreover, when Xiluo looked down and saw the powerful and beautiful creatures of Yunmeng Marsh, an uncontrollable greed arose in her heart.

It's a feeling of wanting to possess the other person, a predatory impulse driven by extreme greed.

Driven by this impulse, Xiluo almost lost control and fought with the Ghost God of Yunmeng Marsh.

Fortunately, Li Boyang reacted immediately.

He immediately used the [God-Binding Cord] to pull Xiluo back to Flying Peak, which brought her back to her senses in time.

Xiluo simply couldn't imagine what kind of mentality Yin Fei had, who was in this state for so long.

In comparison, the form of the Night-Wandering Woman is much stronger.

Aside from feeling compassion for young creatures, Xiluo didn't feel like she was being negatively affected by anything too intense.

But is that really the case?

A beautiful face...

A shapely figure...

And that magnificent feathered robe...

Compared to Xiluo's own Ominous Deity, half-human, half-beast form, the Night-Wandering Woman was the epitome of beauty and elegance, like Heavenly Immortal being.

Even Xiluo, who never cared about her image, couldn't help but feel a little narcissistic after seeing her reflection in the water.

"It seems that both forms of this feather robe can affect the user's mindset?"

Noticing the intoxication on Xiluo's face, Li Boyang muttered something to himself.

It must be admitted that Night-Wandering Woman do have reason to be narcissistic.

That kind of tangible image, which seems to represent all the beautiful things in the world, is itself a kind of disaster.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Xiluo looked at Li Boyang beside her with a startled expression.

However, Li Boyang did not immediately respond to Xiluo's question.

Instead, her fingertips lightly glide through the air, quickly drawing Maxims one by one.

The Maxims seemed to move through the air like living things, quickly gathering their corresponding vital Yuan Qi, and then transforming into two distinct yin-yang fish.

When Xiluo saw the black and white Pisces manifest, she was still in a daze.

However, when the yin-yang fish rushed towards Xiluo and imprinted itself on her feathered robe, Xiluo immediately regained consciousness.

"Did I... lose control again?"

Looking down in disbelief at the feathered robe she was wearing, Xiluo could clearly see the yin-yang fish swimming on it.

The originally magnificent feather robe became much simpler after the addition of black and white colors.

At the very least, the beauty of the Night-Wandering Woman has become more understated, rather than flamboyant.

"It's not exactly out of control, is it?"

"You can simply understand it as a special kind of charm, and you've charmed yourself."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Xiluo's face immediately fell.

To be seduced by oneself sounds like a joke.

However, her previous intense narcissism forced Xiluo to admit that what the other person said was indeed true.

"The power of this feather robe is strange..."

After a moment of silence, Xiluo could only say this.

It's worth noting that Xiluo is the kind of person who's rather careless and easygoing, yet she was still able to be seduced by her own reflection in the water.

If it were any other creature, Jidu possible that a fable of "a smile that could topple a city, a second smile that could topple a nation" would arise.

Not to mention, both Xiluo and Li Boyang sensed the lightness emanating from the feather robe.

It is a kind of "Power of Ascension" that originates from the gods and can transform mortal things.
