Am I in His Heart Too?

Upon hearing Houtu's words, the other ancestral witches present immediately looked over, their faces filled with confusion.

"Brothers and sisters of Xuanming, don't be nervous. He's a good friend I met back in the Purple Cloud Palace!"

Houtu immediately smiled and explained, "Young friend Lin Yunji has a very carefree personality."

"Speaking of which, Lin Yunji and Xiaoyou actually saved many of our Witch Clan people back then."

After hearing what Houtu said, Lin Yunji couldn't help but blush!

If it weren't for Houtu pleading for him, he would have killed those Witch Clan members long ago.

So, does this count as saving the lives of the Witch Clan?

"I see."

However, these ancestral witches were unaware of this, so they immediately believed Houtu's words and nodded their heads in unison.

He instantly radiated a friendly aura.

"Eh... Lin Yunji... young friend... your... strength..."

Houtu's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she subconsciously gasped.

At this moment, she finally realized that Lin Yunji's cultivation had undergone a tremendous change, becoming so unfathomable. Back then at the Treasure-Dividing Cliff in the Purple Cloud Palace, he was still a junior who had not yet broken through to the Quasi-Sage stage.

But now?

The giant dragon beneath their feet was far stronger than Houtu.

As for Lin Yunji, his aura was even stronger, almost merging with the heavens and earth, and his every word and action drew upon the power of heaven and earth.

This person's strength is roughly equivalent to that of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.

After a long time, Houtu slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, as if only in this way could he calm his mind a little.

"As expected of young friend Lin Yunji Lin Yunji, his cultivation speed is too fast. I can't keep up at all," Houtu couldn't help but sigh Houtu.

"Houtu, the Ancestral Witch Houtu, don't you remember? I said that back then!"

"If I had a choice, I would rather remain at the Daluo Golden Immortal realm forever!"

Lin Yunji's lips curled up slightly, his face revealing a bloodsucking look, as if he were joking.

Houtu chuckled after hearing this.

She couldn't help but recall the time she encountered Lin Yunji at Eagle-Dove Mountain.

He remembers that scene very clearly even now!

At that time, Lin Yunji was just about to break through and become a master of the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.

When it broke through, its momentum was immense, even causing the heavens and earth to tremble. The three flowers gathered above its head, and its body was shrouded in a misty color, which was very mysterious.

She was extremely surprised by this!

After hearing that Lin Yunji had become a cultivator in the Early-stage Daluo Golden Immortal, she went over to offer her congratulations.

At that moment, the other person said, "If I could, I would hope to remain at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm forever."

Now they've said something similar again.

But this time, the person they were referring to was Daluo Golden Immortal!

Both the familiar words and tone of voice brought Houtu immense joy.

"I never expected that after so much time, my young friend Lin Yunji would still be so humorous!" Houtu smiled.

Although they are of the same generation, Lin Yunji's cultivation level is now much higher than his, so if he were to call Lin Yunji" young friend" again, the other party would probably be unhappy.

Lin Yunji keenly noticed that Houtu's way of addressing him had changed, but this time Lin Yunji did not deny it.

Then Houtu seemed to remember something.

She glanced at Lin Yunji with a wry look, rolled her eyes, and teased, "Speaking of which, it's been so long since I invited Fellow Daoist Lin Yunji Lin Yunji, and you're only now coming here to find me. It seems you've already forgotten about me!"

"Haha, after all these years, I still came to see you. Doesn't that just prove you're in my heart?" Lin Yunji said with a vague laugh.

Of course, this was just an excuse Lin Yunji made up; after all, he wouldn't be here if he weren't searching for Heavenly Dao Fragment.

But he didn't realize that Houtu took his casually chosen excuse completely seriously.

So as soon as Lin Yunji finished speaking, Houtu's face immediately flushed crimson, like the morning glow on the horizon, exuding boundless charm!

But more than anything, it has a sweet taste.

"How can Fellow Lin Yunji be so outspoken, especially in front of all the brothers and fairies? How can you say such shameless things?"

"I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a bit observant!"

"Could it be because...!"

In an instant, Houtu couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"My God, Senior Brother, you're not lying, are you?"

Bixiao glanced at the gentle and graceful Houtu, then suddenly whispered a question to Lin Yunji.

"What lie?" Lin Yunji an eyebrow, asking with a puzzled look.

"So you came here specifically to find this beautiful woman?"

"That's basically it!" Lin Yunji replied.

Upon hearing Lin Yunji, Bixiao's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

This Ancestral Witch Houtu is indeed very beautiful; no wonder the eldest brother took the initiative to come to the Witch Clan's territory to find her.

Moreover, the eldest brother himself admitted that she existed in his heart.

"I'm so envious. I wonder if I'm also in my senior brother's heart."

Not only Bixiao, but the other women also showed envy in their eyes after hearing this, as if at that moment they also wished that the person Lin Yunji was talking about was them.

If Lin Yunji knew that a random excuse would cause these women to overthink things, he would be helpless.

What are all these things?!

Houtu didn't believe him when he said he wanted to cultivate at a slower pace, but she believed his random excuse.

Afterwards, Lin Yunji exchanged pleasantries with Houtu for a while, then bowed to Dijiang and the others, saying, "Brothers and Sister Xuanming, I'll take Lin Yunji to our tribe for a gathering!"

"That's definitely how it should be!" Di Jing smiled and didn't stop the jungler.

Then Houtu led Lin Yunji and several other women to raid his own tribe.

As for the giant dragon, Lin Yunji let it hide in the Sky Voice as before, waiting for his command to come out.

"Even a mount's cultivation level is this high, I really don't know just how powerful Lin Yunji is!"

Only after Lin Yunji and the others had disappeared did Zhurong purse her lips and say something.

This level of strength far surpasses that of Dijun and Taiyi.

"Hmph! I wonder who was it that wanted to come and kill the other side just now?" Gonggong said sarcastically.

Zhurong glared angrily at Gonggong, his mouth agape for a long time, his face turning bright red, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

After all, he did boast before, saying that I came here to take his life.

Who knew the newcomer's cultivation level would be so high!

Most importantly, this person is also Houtu's good friend.

"I don't want to argue with you anymore!" After a long while, Zhurong finally managed to squeeze out these words through gritted teeth, then vanished in a flash.

"Ha ha ha ha."

When the other ancestral witches saw that Zhurong had finally suffered a setback, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Not long after, Houtu brought Lin Yunji to the main hall of his tribe.

On the way to the main hall, Lin Yunji Houtu for the women he had brought with him from Houtu, and Houtu also got to know Bixiao and the others.

"Sister Houtu, how did you meet Brother Yunji?" Xihe asked Houtu with her big eyes and sweet voice.

"Of course, our first meeting was in the Purple Cloud Palace!" Houtu brushed a stray hair behind her ear with great elegance, then revealed a gentle smile.

"At that time, he was still at the gate of the Purple Cloud Palace when he broke through to a higher level!"

Hearing this, Bixiao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately shouted, tilting her head back, "I know this! I know this!!"

"Sister Changxi told us in advance that Lady Nüwa had mentioned it to us, that our eldest brother had broken through not only at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace, but twice in total!"

"That's right!"

Houtu smiled faintly, then looked at Lin Yunji with a distant gaze and said, "But unfortunately, at that time, Fellow Daoist Lin Yunji was at the entrance of the Purple Cloud Palace, and his eyes were only on Lady Nüwa. Of course, I was too embarrassed to go over and disturb him and Lady Nüwa Nuwa!"

"That's true! Brother Yunji and Lady Nüwa have a very, very good relationship!" Xihe suddenly added, beaming, "Brother Yunji has a special name for Lady Nüwa — Little Bamboo!"

Next, a woman and Houtu began to communicate, their voices ringing out in a clear and melodious tone.

Although Lin Yunji appeared to be listening to the women chatting, he was actually constantly looking around, searching for the location of the Heavenly Dao Fragment.

Unfortunately, the location of the Heavenly Dao Fragment was not found along the way.

However, Lin Yunji was not in such a hurry, after all, the tribe where the Witch Clan was located was too vast, and the Heavenly Dao Fragment might not appear in the tribe where Houtu was located.

Just then, the heavy footsteps of his and her came from outside the hall, as if giants were running wildly.

"Xingtian has come to see Ancestral Witch Houtu!" A very loud voice rang out along with the sound of footsteps.

"What is it?" Houtu raised an eyebrow and asked with a puzzled look.

"I heard from Zhurong's ancestral home that a friend with extremely strong physical strength has come to our place, so they want to come and have a big battle with him," Xingtian said loudly.

Houtu's beautiful face suddenly changed expression.

She glanced at Lin Yunji subconsciously, and seeing that he remained calm, she relaxed slightly. Then, she scolded Xingtian in a delicate voice, "How dare you! Since you know this is my good friend, how dare you come and challenge me to a fight?"

"Ancestral Witch Houtu, relax a bit. I just want to have a normal physical battle with him. I have no intention of offending him. How about we stop here?" Xingtian spoke loudly again from outside the palace gate.

"Get down!" Seeing Xingtian's insistence, Houtu's eyes showed anger.

"Fine... then!" Xingtian sighed reluctantly, then turned and left through the door.

"Fellow Lin Yunji, I'm truly sorry!"

After Xingtian's figure disappeared, Houtu Tu immediately explained to Lin Yunji with an apologetic expression, "Xingtian is a great shaman of our Houtu clan. He loves to fight and challenges others in our clan all day long. Sometimes he even challenges our ancestral shaman!"

"So he's obsessed with fighting people, and no amount of preaching should change that."

"Who is making a fool of themselves for you, Lin Yunji?"

"It's nothing!" Lin Yunji showed a calm smile. He didn't take Xingtian's challenges to heart. After all, what he cared about most was this Heavenly Dao Fragment.

After leaving the main hall, Xingtian did not give up. He simply stood on a mountain peak not far from the main hall, his eyes wide open like a spirit, staring intently at the location of Houtu hall.

"Hmph, Zhu Zhurong's ancestral home actually claims that person's physical strength is comparable to that of the Ancestral Witch? I absolutely refuse to believe it!"

"How could there possibly be a living being with a physical body in this world, someone even more powerful than me besides the Ancestral Witches!"

"After we leave the main hall, I'm determined to have a match with him!"
