#1023 - Chapter 1023: Opening the Forbidden Land
After rescuing Marquis Wen, Lin Yaoyao looked at the half-alive man and immediately recalled the events of the Treasure Grabbing Convention, where Marquis Wen had repeatedly injured her two junior brothers.
Seeing this good opportunity, Lin Yaoyao directly raised her palm.
"Smack ~"
Lin Yaoyao happily left Moshuize, leaving behind Marquis Wen with a mysterious slap on his face.
Marquis Wen, fast asleep, had no idea what had happened and fell into a dream by the lake.
The banquet continued into the late hours of the night. Most of the people at the banquet were already drunk, and Ye Ling had arranged accommodations for them. The attendees departed.
Xing Yueyao was also preparing to leave. For some reason, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy, couldn't stand steadily, and her head was exceptionally heavy, causing her to fall forward.
Ye Kong, who was next to Xing Yueyao's seat, noticed that something was wrong when Xing Yueyao got up and paid attention. As a result, he saw Xing Yueyao falling forward.
With quick eyes and hands, Ye Kong got up and caught Xing Yueyao.
Xing Yueyao only felt a tightening around her waist, and a pair of thick, powerful arms wrapped around her waist and abdomen, allowing her to stand upright again.
Xing Yueyao turned her head, and Ye Kong's breath brushed against Xing Yueyao's forehead.
From a distance, Wen Yi saw the ambiguous posture between Xing Yueyao and Ye Kong, and the strength in his hand increased involuntarily.
"Crack ~"
A barely visible crack appeared at the bottom of the jade cup in Wen Yi's hand.
The sudden intimacy made Xing Yueyao somewhat infatuated, but at this moment, Xing Yueyao directly pushed Ye Kong away.
"Thank you, Peak Master Ye. I'm just a little drunk and couldn't stand properly," Xing Yueyao explained with an excuse.
Having witnessed the scene of Ye Kong hugging Xing Yueyao, Tian Qingwu turned and left directly, as if she had been angered.
"Miss Xing, are you alright?"
Ye Ling also noticed the scene of Ye Kong hugging Xing Yueyao just now, but she also noticed that when Xing Yueyao fell in an instant, Wen Yi raised his head to drink, but a trace of sinister smile flashed across his face.
Ye Ling specifically asked Xing Yueyao a question, but Xing Yueyao just shook her head.
"Lord Ye, don't worry. This little girl is just a little drunk and will be fine after a night's rest."
Knowing that Xing Yueyao was a smart person, Ye Ling didn't say anything else and let Xing Yueyao leave.
Xing Yueyao nodded slightly towards Ye Kong, then turned and left. When she left, Wen Yi used the action of drinking to constantly pay attention to Xing Yueyao's movements, but Xing Yueyao didn't even turn her head and left the banquet hall directly.
When Ye Ling saw Ye Kong leaving, not even calling out to her, she walked away on her own, and a burst of anger inexplicably rose in her heart.
She gulped down another cup of wine.
No, I can't let him have it easy!
Ye Ling also got up and left the banquet hall.
As a result, as soon as Ye Ling went out, where was there any trace of Ye Kong? Only a gentle breeze remained.
Ye Ling was disheartened, thinking that Ye Kong had returned to his room. If that were the case, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to go looking for him.
Ye Ling came to Yue Mountain Platform alone.
Yue Mountain Platform is a place for observation, where one can look up at the sky and observe the stars at night.
Ye Ling rarely came to Yue Mountain Platform, but it was also her favorite place to come.
During the day, Ye Ling could stand on Yue Mountain Platform and have a panoramic view of the good and peaceful scenery of the cultivation world. At night, Ye Ling could watch the sun, moon, and stars and enjoy the tranquility of the night.
With painted rafters and flowing vermilion, Yue Mountain Platform was especially high. When Ye Ling arrived at the top of Yue Mountain Platform, she was shoulder to shoulder with the vertical mountain, and the entire night view of the cultivation world was unobstructed.
Ye Ling stood on Yue Mountain Platform, and the cool night breeze brushed her face, like a gentle breeze blowing the delicate petals, cool and gentle.
"Gurgle ~"
"Who!" Ye Ling heard the sound of someone drinking water and turned her head vigilantly.
She saw Ye Kong at the top of Yue Mountain Platform, drinking wine and enjoying the night breeze.
"You're here ~ Come up, have a drink," Ye Kong seemed to know that Ye Ling would come and had been waiting on Yue Mountain Platform for a long time.
Ye Ling wasn't pretentious and nimbly flew directly to Ye Kong's side.
Ye Kong handed over the wine cup.
"Lord Ye, a toast to you."
Ye Ling smiled and took the wine cup from Ye Kong's hand.
Under the moon, a pot of wine, understanding naturally forms a pair.
The next day at noon, the azure sky and warm sunshine seemed exceptionally beautiful.
Ye Ling and the others participating in the Evil Beast Forbidden Land flew through the wind, heading together towards the place where the Evil Beast Forbidden Land would be opened.
Among the group, Marquis Wen shook his head. The scene of falling into the water last night was still faintly imprinted in his mind.
Wen Yi came to Marquis Wen's side.
"Big brother, where did you go last night? Why didn't I see you when I returned to your room last night?"
When Marquis Wen woke up, he was greeted by the dazzling sunlight overhead, and he was by Moshuize. Marquis Wen couldn't remember the specific events of last night.
"I forgot," Marquis Wen perfunctorily answered Wen Yi, then increased his speed and distanced himself from Wen Yi, afraid that Wen Yi would continue to inquire about yesterday's events.
"Forgot?" Wen Yi looked at Marquis Wen's departing back and didn't pursue the matter further.
Marquis Wen remembered seeing a woman's face in a daze last night, very blurry, but extremely real.
"Shoo ~" At this moment, Lin Yaoyao flew past Marquis Wen. Marquis Wen happened to turn his head and saw Lin Yaoyao's profile.
Lin Yaoyao didn't even glance sideways and flew directly past Marquis Wen.
Marquis Wen recognized Lin Yaoyao as the woman from the Treasure Grabbing Convention, and Marquis Wen temporarily forgot about last night's events.
"It's her!" A bit of ferocity couldn't help but appear in Marquis Wen's eyes.
She was the one who took my Blood Jade Pendant. It must still be on her.
Marquis Wen was about to accelerate and catch up with Lin Yaoyao to retrieve the Blood Jade Pendant, but when he saw Ye Ling at the head of the group, Marquis Wen pondered for a moment.
Forget it, since that woman is also in the team, she must be going to the Evil Beast Forbidden Land. It won't be too late to take it back then.
The main force arrived at the place where the Evil Beast Forbidden Land would be opened.
The area around the entrance to the Evil Beast Forbidden Land was barren, with infertile soil and no signs of life.
Two curved large stones stood on the ground, arching towards each other to form a complete circular gate without a door. This was the entrance to the Evil Beast Forbidden Land, Hongmen.
Ye Ling walked to the Hongmen of the Evil Beast Forbidden Land, preparing to open the Evil Beast Forbidden Land.
She saw Ye Ling produce a box, place the box on the ground, then Ye Ling's hands operated, the box opened on its own, and a bronze python inside the box slowly rose.
