Book 24, The Starlord of Fogstone, Chapter 27 – Ji Ning and the Flamefairy

Kar

As Ji Ning fleards the warshi+p, he couldn’t help but sigh When he had first entered the Ruins, Elder God Skysouth had relied on his ar’s treasures In truth, Ning didn’t hold e Anyone who entered the world of cultivation had to abide by its many unspoken rules, and co truly had been killed, he would’ve only bla too weak

Back then, he had elected to flee

After roa about the Hundred Strea multiple Dao weapons and hadthe azureflower seal and growing dramatically more powerful And now, as soon as he exited the Hundred Streams, he had run into Elder God Skysouth onceprobably would’ve just left; that was the type of person he was But now that there was a bit of bad blood…Ning didn’t hesitate at all in choosing to chase after him

This, too, was karma!

“Destiny and kar could sense the unfatho and surging

He was now able to see the fate oftheir future joys and sorrows

Truly formidable cultivators, however…

Ning found it difficult to see their destinies

Although destiny was often viewed as being abstruse, it actually operated on si of countless different strings of karainst Old Man Yuan, which hy Ji Ning had ended up joining Fogstone and being stationed here on the Windsource Chaosworld! But of course, the secret workings of destiny were trillions of times more complicated than the simple ‘cause and effect’ of karma

Ning understood another principle as well The past was difficult to change, but the future was not

For exaht be able to see the destined life path of a mortal, but because the future had yet to actually happen, for that ed wouldn’t be too hard For example, if a powerful cultivator suddenly chose to intervene in that ed

The Book of Life and Death was a good example It set down the destined fates of reat kared

In fact, Ning had the sneaking suspicion that so things that had already occurred in the past! For example…perhaps a cultivator whose truesoul was destroyed could be revived

This was Ning’s greatest hope and goal as he continued on his path of cultivation His greatest desire was to see his beloved wife be brought back to life

Ning continued to chase after the warshi+p, an to wander as he began to ponder on the workings of karma and destiny In truth, he didn’t view Elder God Skysouth as much of an opponent

A hundred Elder Gods in an Elder God For off even a World God for a period of tiive Elder God Skysouth the chance to act as he pleased

The warshi+p continued to slowly fly through the mountains Elder God Skysouth was seated on at the front of the shi+p, lazily watching the skies before him Next to hi with two fe to him Behind him were six Elder Gods and Ancestral Iilance

In front of the warshi+p, a blazing figure was fleeing at high speed The area around this fiery-robed woers of flame

“Fla for quite soine you should understand that you won’t be able to escape o However, I chose not to I can’t bear to see such an unmatchably beautiful Immortal maiden like yourself die within a place like this”

“All I want you to do is be one of my retainers Why must you be so stubborn?” Elder God Skysouth drained all the wine from his winecup The female servant next to him smiled flirtatiously and quickly helped him fill it once more

“Just a retainer?” The fleeing Su Youji laughed coldly

“You look ravishi+ng when you are angry, Fla” Elder God Skysouth couldn’t help but sigh in praise “I’ that much All you need to do is servemy pleasure-companion What’s the point of cultivation? It is to be able to travel as far as we can on our paths with our hearts filled with pleasure But for soards to cultivation All I can seek is excitement and pleasure, yes?”

“I train in the [Libertine Dream] I cannot possibly become your pleasure-companion,” Su Youji sent mentally

The [Libertine Dreainity

This was a technique which Su Youji had devised for herself after she saw fragments of an ancient technique Su Youji had i this technique She had been cultivating for less than a o become comparable to a supreme Elder God or Ancestral Immortal However, because she was a Ki Refiner, she was a bit weaker than FiendGod Body Refiners in close combat

“The forbidden fruits taste the sweetest” Elder God Skysouth let out a soft sigh, his voice echoing by Su Youji’s ears “Someone like me can buy and sell even fe as you is al If you keep running around like this, you erous formation of some sort”

Elder God Skysouth was quite relaxed

As soon as he had seen Flamefairy Su Youji, he had immediately desired to possess her and had tried to force her to become his retainer She knew that she wasn’t ato bow her head, but…the lifeblood oath which Elder God Skysouth had wanted her to swear had been sih she was a ‘retainer’ in na more than a toy for him to enjoy The reason why she was known as the Flamefairy was because she had an explosive, fiery temper There was no way she would accept such terms

She had trained for less than a h she was just a Ki Refiner, she was still comparable to supreme Elder Gods and Ancestral Iht into the Dao and could quite possibly reach the World-level of power How could so to beco?

But Elder God Skysouth was quite patient He illing to slowly chase after her

He had once tried to send his servants to chase after her, but she had furiously fled at maximum speed Skysouth had ih-speed chase could easily result in the activation of so to see the Flamefairy die like this

And so, he had slowly chased after her

With the Fla at a fairly low speed, he wouldn’t be in er

In addition, since she was running in front of hi fro as a scout for hi him test and see if the area up ahead was safe or not Where else could he possibly find a free scout like her? He needed time to tame the Flamefairy’s unruly spirit anyhow

To tame such a peerlessly beautiful Immortal woman was no easy feat Time would be needed…but once he succeeded…

Just the thought of it made him quiver

“Who is there?!” Elder God Skysouth suddenly put away his warshi+p and turned to look behind himself

The two fehtened, but the six Elder Gods and Ancestral Iilance

Behind theht towards the around him

“Careful, Master” The six were shocked, as they all recognized Ji Ning The twofaster than the speed of light, but Ning had broken through their attacks with one blow and then easily escaped
