From the Nangong City Lord's Mansion, Feng Chu, Ji Wuye, and Ji Chenmu headed straight to the Phoenix Pavilion. To avoid trouble, neither of them removed their disguises. Feng Chu even reinforced them, making it so only someone with Immortal Venerable cultivation could see through them now.
As soon as they entered, someone rushed into Ji Wuye's arms: "Wuye ge, I missed you so much!"
Ji Wuye caught a whiff of a unique feminine fragrance and tightened his embrace. He missed her too.
"Huhu, how did you recognize me?"
"Hee hee, Wuye ge, who can be fooled by this disguise?" Long Hu Hu looked up, saw the large beard on Ji Wuye's face, and pouted in disdain.
"Change it back, it's so ugly!"
Ji Chenmu was numb from the shock. His proud disguise techniques were useless in the Immortal Realm.
"Chenmu ge, don't be sad. This is the unique talent of our Nine-tailed Fox Divine Clan. We can create illusions, so we can see through all disguises and illusions." Long Hu Hu naturally knew it was Ji Chenmu's doing. Seeing his dejected look, she sized him up and comforted him, "It can still fool most people."
Alright, that seemed to offer some solace.
Hua Xun patted Chen Xi's shoulder as if to comfort him. Chen Xi had a look of utter despair from the moment Long Hu Hu lunged into Ji Wuye's arms.
When he saw the man holding Long Hu Hu remove his disguise and reveal his true face, even Chen Xi, who never cared about appearances, couldn't help but touch his own face. That man was exceptionally handsome. Sword eyebrows, starry eyes, deep gaze, chiseled features, a resolute face; he couldn't believe anyone could be so outstanding.
In the Immortal Realm, he, Immortal Venerable Chen Xi, was also sought after by many female immortals. But standing next to Young Master Feng Chu, this man was not inferior in the slightest! And before them, he had to admit he was slightly less remarkable.
As Chen Xi appraised them, Wuye turned his gaze and met Chen Xi's. They engaged in a silent competition. Wuye keenly sensed the other's unusual attention towards Hu Hu, and he unconsciously tightened his hold on her. It wasn't enough; this person was very strong. He needed to act quickly.
"Ge, congratulations! Your cultivation has advanced." Ju Yin also happily stepped forward, deliberately pushing Long Hu Hu aside.
"Jie jie, this is my Wuye ge." Long Hu Hu became anxious, pushing her sister away. She wrapped her arms around Ji Wuye, almost sticking to him.
Chen Xi's eyes widened at this scene. What? This was Divine Venerable Ju Yin's brother? Then he truly had no chance...
Hua Xun found the scene inexplicably irritating. He pulled Ju Yin aside, "Stop bothering the young couple! Didn't you say we were going out? Let's go!"
Ji Wuye looked dotingly at his sister and Hu Hu engaging in their playful banter.
Ji Chenmu also resumed his original appearance. Now that he had found the Ji siblings, he was no longer worried about trouble. Life by clinging to powerful individuals was quite good.
"Ge just returned, and I wanted to talk to you more. Why are you pulling me?" Ju Yin complained.
"Little Ju Yin, you've changed. Where's your usual aloofness? Even if he's your own brother, you can't be hugging and holding him like that." Hua Xun was incredibly jealous. Why didn't she hug him like that when they met?
Ju Yin rolled her eyes, unwilling to bother with him. She wanted to retort: Weren't you also very reserved before? Now your gaze towards me is like a ferocious wolf's.
"Feng Chu, what's going on with the arrest warrants for the two brothers? How did you meet?" Ju Yin was curious how they had encountered each other. Could they have really been caught by the City Lord?
"Bei Qi Chang Si was injured by them. That Bei Qi family is extremely vengeful..."
Feng Chu explained the whole story. Ju Yin and Long Hu Hu listened, growing angry. Both of them simultaneously thought of something. They exchanged a knowing glance. The sisters had both figured it out.
"Jie jie, shall we meet for moon viewing tonight?"
"Okay!"
Everyone was bewildered. Why were they suddenly going to view the moon?
"Hu Hu, where were you going just now?" Ji Wuye saw Long Hu Hu and his sister seemingly preparing to go out as soon as he entered.
"Wuye ge, we were planning to go to Qinghai Lake. We heard there's an eight-tentacled demon beast there." Long Hu Hu then swallowed. She hadn't had grilled octopus legs for a long time.
"Yes, let's go together!" Ju Yin couldn't sit still either. kuAiδugg
Everyone understood that the two sisters were just craving seafood. Only Chen Xi, not understanding, nudged Hua Xun: "Did the eight-tentacled demon beast in Qinghai Lake go rogue? Are we going to eliminate it?" But there was no need for so many people to go. Anyone present could hunt it.
"You'll know when we get there."
There were no no-fly zones in Ice Moon City, so it was common to see flying ships and large spacecraft. However, the larger spacecraft were required to stop at designated locations.
Ju Yin and the others boarded the Purple Bamboo Boat. The boat spirit, Little Zi, had already devoured the core boat and advanced. The upgraded Purple Bamboo Boat possessed natural stealth capabilities. Without the Eye of Breaking Illusions, or cultivators like the old man with dual pupils, it would be impossible to detect the Purple Bamboo Boat's trace.
Ju Yin was overjoyed. This was the perfect equipment for killing and seizing treasures, and for traveling. A surprise attack from enemies would be absolutely flawless!
Thus, on the platform in the backyard of the Phoenix Pavilion, Feng Yao watched as they boarded the Purple Bamboo Boat and disappeared without a sound. He was amazed. He wondered what kind of stealth formation was so powerful. If it could be applied to his own cargo ships, it would be completely foolproof.
Although Qinghai Lake was located south of Ice Moon City, it was a considerable distance away. The flying ship flew for a full quarter of an hour before reaching it. Ji Chenmu's eyes were opened wide; he realized that a single city in the Immortal Realm was comparable to an empire's territory in the lower realm.
"Feng Chu, you call this a lake?" Ji Chenmu looked at the vast, boundless sea below. Even with his divine sense, he couldn't see the edge. He finally realized the immensity of the Immortal Realm. The area of this lake was equivalent to the entire sea region of the cultivation world.
"This is a lake. It only takes half an hour to traverse by sword. In the South Sea of Nanquan Prefecture, even the Venerable's Purple Bamboo Boat takes half a month to complete." Feng Chu was unconcerned. Chenmu, this fellow, had too little experience; otherwise, he wouldn't ask such a foolish question. Otherwise, others would surely call him a bumpkin. He would take him around to see things another day.
Chenmu was speechless. Did he not know his current cultivation level and the terrifying speed of sword riding?
Chenmu didn't know that Feng Chu had already arranged his upcoming itinerary. He was leaning on the railing, watching Qi Mo, who had already entered the water below.
Chao Yang Zi and Chao Xiang Zi, who had been injured by Long Hu Hu that day, emerged from seclusion. As soon as they left their spatial realms, they saw the rippling blue sea.
The brothers were stunned and immediately understood.
These sisters were craving seafood.
"Hey, you're out of seclusion. You've come at the perfect time. Go into the sea and catch that eight-tentacled demon beast." Ju Yin immediately gave orders upon seeing Chao Yang Zi and Chao Xiang Zi. They had experience in the sea.
Feng Chu, being a phoenix, naturally disliked water.
Qi Mo had already gone down. He was a golden dragon and loved water the most. However, Ju Yin was afraid Qi Mo might accidentally kill the demon beast. So, she called Chao Xiang Zi and Chao Yang Zi to help.
Ji Wuye also wanted to go down, but Long Hu Hu held him back. She had already noticed that Wuye ge was injured and not fully healed. Ju Yin also didn't let him go.

Roar~~ Roar~~~ The seabed trembled, raising massive waves.
