Chapter 71 - Huo Linger

You know how it is.

Shi Hao's so-called running away from home was, in reality, just going off to train alone.

For the past two years.

With the Stone Emperor's arrangements and the care of his cousin Shi Yi, and his own mother, Qin Yining,

they were actually quite at ease. But they hadn't expected Shi Hao to make such a big move all of a sudden.

"Forget it. Two years have passed, and it's about time to go back and see Stone Village."

Although Shi Yi had left the Great Wilderness, he hadn't forgotten the people of Stone Village. He still cared for them and had planned to take some time to see how Stone Village was doing.

Just as Shi Yi was preparing to set off for the Great Wilderness, Yu Zimo, who usually immersed herself in cultivation and rarely appeared, showed up at the perfect moment. Today, she suddenly appeared before Shi Yi.

She was an unparalleled genius of the Yu Clan, second only to Shi Yi in status. She cultivated the unique Treasure Technique, the Scroll of a Lifetime, which granted her the ability to foresee the future and understand fate.

In fact, before the Yu Clan's downfall, she had already sensed a looming crisis. However, her clan, blinded by greed, ignored her warnings, dismissing them as alarmist rhetoric.

At that time, all the Yu Clan cared about was how to extract blood and skin the adult Pi Xiu, meticulously planning the distribution of every inch of its tendons and flesh. They never anticipated the arrival of the Bi An and Ya Zi.

It was also because of Yu Zimo's powerful precognitive abilities that she managed to lead the younger generation of the Yu Clan, evading the pursuit of the Bi An and Ya Zi, and ultimately escaping to King Wu's Mansion in Stone Country.

King Wu's Mansion was located in the Stone Country Imperial Capital, where the Human Emperor resided. Even with ten times the courage, the Bi An and Ya Zi wouldn't dare to attack there.

It should be known that at this time, Stone Country had not yet fallen out with the upper realms, and the Stone Country royal family had good relations with the Butian Cult and the Jietian Cult.

Whether it was Fairy Yuechan or Fairy Tianhu, they were now often residing in Stone Country. Although they primarily stayed because of Shi Yi, this also indirectly showed that Stone Country's relationship with the upper realms was quite favorable.

The Human Emperor of Stone Country was a shrewd individual. Unlike the future, non-existent Human Emperor Shi Hao, who was stubborn and headstrong, always ready for a fight, Stone Country remained stable and peaceful under his rule.

In that vanished, non-existent future…

The Shi Hao who inherited the Human Emperor's position, though he was dashing and domineering in his confrontation with the upper realms, ultimately offended them. Without the strength to resist, the suffering fell upon the countless people of Stone Country.

Before the Human Emperor Shi Hao offended the upper realms, aside from the Great Wilderness, the barbaric land, neither Stone Country nor Fire Country ever experienced rampant slaughter of ordinary people by ferocious beasts.

Of course, that didn't mean the future, non-existent Human Emperor Shi Hao was wrong. He just did the right thing at the wrong time.

If he had waited a few decades or a century, until his strength and cultivation had grown, turning the Eight Domains of the lower realm into his own territory, the upper realms wouldn't have dared to make a peep.

In short.

Many of Shi Hao's ideas were initially good, just like this time, wanting to seize the mountain treasure and bring it back as a gift.

But what he did always happened at the wrong time. If he could have delayed things, everything would have been different.

"Cousin, Shi Hao is a Star of Calamity, destined to clash with fate. It's either him or you. If you go to save him, Cousin, you'll also be in danger." Yu Zimo stood in front of Shi Yi.

Two years had passed.

She had grown considerably, especially in the chest area, which had become fuller and more rounded. The subtle fragrance emanating from her body gave off a bewitching sensation.

"Cousin, did you sense that I would be in danger?" Shi Yi asked curiously.

To be honest,

He was quite curious about Yu Zimo's Scroll of a Lifetime, but it was her unique talent. No one else could cultivate it, making it almost as rare as a Supreme Bone or Double Pupils.

"Cousin, do you believe me? Or are you going to be as stubborn as the previous Yu Clan ancestor and refuse to listen?" Yu Zimo's eyes were a little tense, fearing that Shi Yi would also be a stubborn mule who wouldn't listen to advice.

"Of course, I believe in your premonitions, Cousin, but we are family. Even if I know it's dangerous, I still have to go. I can't just stand by and watch my younger brother face a life-threatening situation, can I, and do nothing?" Shi Yi said softly.

Just as he said.

Shi Hao had loved causing trouble since he was a child; the words "mischievous kid" weren't just for show. But as family, as a cousin, he couldn't just stand by and watch Shi Hao in danger without doing anything.

"Cousin, don't just listen halfway and forget what I said before. You two are fated to clash; with you, there is no him. To put it bluntly, without your Star of Calamity cousin, Shi Hao, your future would be even brighter."

Yu Zimo was a bit agitated, grabbing Shi Yi's arms and pressing her whole body against him. Since she was several years older than Shi Yi, the youthful energy washing over him caused even his normally steady breathing to falter for a moment.

After a while.

"But is abandoning family what you want, cousin? Today, I can abandon Shi Hao, but who knows if it will be you someday? Family cannot despise each other, much less abandon each other heartlessly."

Shi Yi embraced Yu Zimo's slender waist, gently patting her back before prying her hands away. However, before leaving, he still comforted her.

"Don't worry, I know it's dangerous. I won't go to the Great Wilderness alone."

After Shi Yi left.

Indeed, no one rashly rushed to the Great Wilderness to fish for someone. He first went to find the Human Emperor of Stone Country, and then, with the introduction of the Human Emperor of Stone Country, he successfully met the Human Emperor of Fire Country.

The Human Emperor of Fire Country was about the same age as the Human Emperor of Stone Country. The Human Emperor of Fire Country was very enthusiastic about Shi Yi's arrival, and after learning the reason for his visit, he was also willing to give Shi Yi a favor.

The Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, the Barren Region, and the Fire Country.

"Don't worry, with me and Brother Shi taking action, your younger brother won't have any problems. Right, Shi Yi, you're here today too. Linger, come here, this is your future husband."

At the call of the Human Emperor of Fire Country, a beautiful girl, about the same age as Shi Yi, peeked out from behind, and with a leap, she arrived in front of Shi Yi.

She squatted in front of Shi Yi, her hands on her knees, her posture a bit awkward, and curiously sized up Shi Yi, wondering if her nominal husband was really that amazing.

The Ten Heavenly Caves.

Double-Pupiled One.

Invincible within the Heavenly Cave Realm.

In the past two years, there had been so many legends about Shi Yi that the Fire Country Princess felt like her ears were going to fall off. But now, it seemed the man before her didn't have three heads and six arms. He even looked a bit like a refined scholar.

"Shi Yi," Shi Yi said, extending his hand.

"Huo Linger," the Fire Country Princess replied, acting proud.

She didn't immediately reach out. Instead, she sized up Shi Yi for several seconds. She decided he wasn't too ugly and that he was barely worthy of her. Only then did she offer her small hand.

Actually, for the past two years, she had been quite unhappy with the future husband she'd heard about but never met. But fortunately, her first impression of him was pretty good.

"You asked my father, the Fire Emperor, and the Human Emperor of Stone Country to help you save your younger brother, Shi Hao?" Huo Linger sat beside Shi Yi, her face full of curiosity as she asked this question.

"That's right." Shi Yi nodded.

"You are invincible in the Heavenly Cave Realm, and your younger brother is also around that level at his age. The most powerful ferocious beasts that attacked him were only in the Heavenly Cave Realm. Otherwise, his bones would have been cold long ago. But for the Heavenly Cave Realm, there's no need for my father and the Human Emperor of Stone Country to intervene, right?" Huo Linger was puzzled.

Shi Yi was making such a big fuss, asking two Honored Ones in the Human Emperor Realm to deal with Heavenly Cave Realm ferocious beasts? Just this? And he claims to be invincible in the Heavenly Cave Realm. Could it be just boastful words?
