After returning to Wuwei Tower, Nangong Jingtang’s first act was to apologize once more to Dong Kui, Jiang Jinhe, and the others. Having chosen to accept everything about Ye Yu, she naturally strove to integrate herself. With Yue Wanqiu’s advance efforts and now this sincere apology, the sisters readily forgave her.
However, Dong Kui insisted on reclaiming her Justice Textbook. Though just a small booklet, she had always cherished it dearly. Seizing the moment, Dong Kui transmitted her thoughts to Ye Yu, asking him to confirm her status as his consort—after the earlier teasing had left her utterly embarrassed. With Ye Yu still present, she would publicly clarify her position once and for all.
Ye Yu, of course, did not refuse. He was not the sort to eat without paying; once he committed, he would honor it. When he announced to all the ladies that Dong Kui was indeed his consort, Zhu Diezhen and Wei Aoshu’s faces turned a thousand shades ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) of awkward. Had the painstakingly refined elixir they so laboriously produced really gone to “rival” Dong Kui? Oh heavens, what abysmal luck!
Zhu Diezhen quickly composed herself and telepathically reassured Wei Aoshu, “Don’t worry. Let’s try again—good things come with trials.” Wei Aoshu, tears unshed, shook her head. “Master, I won’t try anymore. I’ve given up. Perhaps it’s fate that my junior brother and I are not destined. But it’s fine—just watching you all makes me happy.” She forced a smile to comfort Zhu Diezhen, which only made Zhu’s heart ache more.
After much thought, Zhu Diezhen resolved to seize the moment while the sisters remained assembled and confess everything to Ye Yu—only to have Wei Aoshu firmly grip her wrist and stop her. Ye Yu noticed this odd gesture and asked curiously, “Zhen’er, what’s wrong?”
“N-nothing—she wanted to get me some immortal fruit to eat!” Wei Aoshu covered for her friend and winked at Zhu Diezhen, silently saying, “Don’t you dare.”
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow. “Immortal fruit? Just that?” As he opened his mouth to ask more, Feng Yingzhi burst in, holding a pink bead aloft. Excited, he exclaimed, “It’s done—I’ve completed it! The Heavenly-Demon Boundary Pearl is ready. Though untested, I believe it can carry you through the dimensional barrier to the Demon Realm or the Fiend Realm.”
At this, everyone’s expressions froze. Feng Yingzhi, puzzled, asked, “Why are you all looking at me like that? Shouldn’t you be excited? Ye Yu, the Boundary Pearl!”
Ye Yu inhaled deeply and patted Feng Yingzhi’s shoulder. “Save it. My Great Azure Passage has collapsed. Now that the Five Realms Passage is restored, we no longer need boundary pearls.”
“What?” Feng Yingzhi’s eyes widened. “The Five Realms Passage is restored? Since when? How did I not know?”
