Chapter 1197: The Third Realm (1/2)
“Violetgrave was just here.” Lu Yun narrowed his eyes at the little fox.
“Oh, no wonder the fragrance seems so familiar.” She’d met Violetgrave before, so all she did was stick out her tongue. “No, wait, what does it matter to me if you have a woman outside? It should be Qing Yu who’s worried.”
She sank into deep contemplation as Lu Yun scowled with resignation.
“Zhuo Bufan, you can take us to the third realm now.” Lu Yun suddenly realized that Bluegrave had taken the eleven creation seeds with her. Since they contained a great secret and he didn’t want to brashly jump into action yet, it was best for now that she take them away.
“Eh?” Both the little fox and Zhuo Bufan blinked, with the former asking, “Are we not making further preparations?”
“Preparations for what? Do you want to say goodbye to your friends and family? Or have you forgotten something at home?” Lu Yun asked, perplexed.
The little fox blinked, then shook her head blankly. Though this was part of their plans, a sudden trip to the Hongmeng… a place where everyone in the chaos both feared and desired… was a bit too much to handle.
“Or do you want to stay here?” Lu Yun asked when he looked at her face.
“No!” The little fox resolutely shook her head. “The third realm! The legendary Hongmeng! I must go and take a look!”
A dreamlike radiance flashed outside her body as she prepared to return to her true form. Lu Yun poked her in the forehead and interrupted her transformation art.
“Stay in human form if you want to go to the third realm, or I’ll immediately send you back here,” he ordered with a glare.
The little fox backed up subconsciously and wrapped her arms protectively in front of her chest. “What, what do you want to do to me?!”
“I hear nothing, see nothing, and know nothing,” Zhuo Bufan quickly offered.
Smack!
Lu Yun smacked his subordinate’s head. “Stop dilly-dallying and take us to the third realm.”
“Ah, eh, yes!” Zhuo Bufan shook and quickly returned to the chaos, Lu Yun and the little fox hot on his heels.
“Young master, mistress, you must be careful,” he struck a grave tone. “It is forbidden for enforcers to bring chaos creatures into the third realm without authorization. We’ll be attacked by the rules of the Hongmeng as soon as we enter. Though I can avoid this punishment because I am the son of a king, the young master and mistress will still be affected to a certain degree.”
“Mm.” Lu Yun nodded. “Wait!” He suddenly recalled something important. “I forgot to ask Violetgrave where Little Yu is now.”
His primary purpose for visiting the Hongmeng was to look for Qing Yu. He’d wanted to stop by the world of immortals first to ask Violetgrave where she was, but had been so disoriented by Bluegrave’s sequence of actions that he’d completely forgotten about it.
However, it only took a few moments’ thought before he put it out of his mind.
Violetgrave knew that he was going to the Hongmeng, but hadn’t told him where Qing Yu was. And with his personality, he never would’ve forgotten to ask Violetgrave. Yet, he had. Plainly, Bluegrave had used some sort of mental cue to encourage him to temporarily forget about the matter.
She wouldn’t have kept things from him if he’d asked. Then, this meant that Violetgave didn’t want to tell him for now.
“I wonder where Little Yu’s gone, they’re being very mysterious.” Lu Yun, the little fox, and Zhuo Bufan vanished from the chaos in a ball of dreamlike purple radiance.
Bluegrave reappeared once they left and looked in the direction that Lu Yun and company had left in. “I’m not telling you for your own good,” she murmured. “If the first thing you did after arriving in the Hongmeng was to ask about Hopeless Major, you wouldn’t even know how you ended up dead.
“Strange, when I first established a faction, I wanted to create a land of virtue and merit that committed kind acts. Why has it become Hopeless Major and part of the Valley of Ten Evils in the Hongmeng?” Bluegrave cocked her head in deep thought, completely baffled at where things had gone wrong.
