Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 847 586: A Downcast Yimiao

The words spoken by the residual soul make sense, but that doesn't stop Chen Zhixing from disliking it.

After exchanging a few more words, Chen Zhixing looked at the residual soul that still hadn't revealed itself from Ziwei Heng Palace and couldn't help but frown.

"A coward hiding its head!"

"I've always been here, just haven't yet rebuilt my body. This time, I came as a mere Divine Thought. I heard from that useless little girl who mentioned that you are also a master at this, but it seems she was mistaken."

The residual soul was not one to suffer losses and retorted sharply after being mocked by Chen Zhixing.

The temperament was quite stiff.

However, whether it was stiff or not had nothing to do with Chen Zhixing. Seeing it dare to talk back, a Divine Pattern appeared between Chen Zhixing's brows, and in the next second, a gigantic hand from the sky reached down, passed harmlessly through the roof as if it were a phantom, and grabbed the Spiritual Soul tightly.

As it was about to vanish, with a tone of slight anger and a mocking laugh, the residual soul said to Chen Zhixing:

"You nasty little thing, you should know that the day will come when you need me, and it won't be far off!"

"There will never be such a day."

The starry sky hand suddenly retracted, returning to the immense Starry Sky Dharma Aspect above.

It seemed as if nothing had ever happened.

...

Seven days later.

Having sensed the impending return of Ziwei Mountain, Chen Zhixing did not immediately appear in Jiangzhou.

Uncharacteristically, he stepped onto the lands of the Central State.

Daluo Taoist Lands, on top of Emperor's Peak.

Yimiao, who was lounging amidst the Moon Bear's fur, suddenly raised her head, looking somewhat surprised at the figure appearing further up the mountain path.

"Oh, what a rare guest, our great Master of the Starry Sky, regarded as the foremost in the Celestial Profound Realm today, how come you have time to come to my Emperor's Peak? Could it be that His Majesty Star Venerable fancies my humble self and intends to take me back to be the lady of the fortress?"

"Senior is joking, I hadn't come today to listen to jokes."

Chen Zhixing walked along the mountain path, his soft-soled boots treading on the mountain grass, feeling the touch of nature.

He didn't use Divine Techniques to travel, not because he couldn't, but simply because there was enough time, and he was unwilling to rush.

As he reached in front of the Moon Bear, as the bear feigned anger with bared teeth, he unexpectedly reached out and patted its head, causing Yimiao to frown:

"I don't care whether you want to tell jokes or your origins today, but before you speak, I must make it clear: I have no interest in anything outside the Celestial Profound Realm, so whatever schemes you have, keep them to yourself to avoid straining the relations between your Star Palace and my Daluo Taoist Lands!"

Straining relations?

Watching the Moon Bear wobble back after being touched, Chen Zhixing couldn't help but laugh.

Once upon a time, the woman who spoke harshly upon first meeting, threatening to overthrow the Chen Family's Ziwei Mountain, now had no ambition left.

Does this world really not have any path that can be crossed?

Understanding why Yimiao was so disheartened, probably due to the residual soul telling her something, Chen Zhixing was unmoved as he had come this time solely to reminisce.

So.

Chen Zhixing extended a hand towards the Moon Bear that was still retreating vigilantly. As he moved, four starlight chains manifested from nowhere under the clear sky, binding the Moon Bear firmly to the spot, leaving it unable to move.

The captured Moon Bear whimpered in grievance, complaining to Yimiao on its back, hoping its master would help it break free.

But how could Yimiao do that?

Or rather, standing before Chen Zhixing now, Yimiao lacked much confidence and was unwilling to argue over her mount being restrained.

Yet the Moon Bear whimpered miserably....

'You fool! He won't actually do anything to you!'

Thinking this, Yimiao first gave the Moon Bear a glare, then reached out to pat its head in a semblance of comfort and said:

"Don't struggle or make noise, as long as you don't fight it, the tether won't bind you, as long as you don't run, the star chain won't catch you. Be good, don't move.... otherwise, I might just have honey bear paw for dinner tonight."

Upon hearing her words, the Moon Bear instantly froze, truly dared not to move, frequently rolling its eyes upward as if trying to transcend its species' limitations to look at Yimiao's expression.

'This fierce woman!'

In response, Chen Zhixing was momentarily speechless and lazily retracted the star chain that bound the Moon Bear.

Freed from the restraints, the Moon Bear gave up on escaping, lying resignedly on the ground, allowing Yimiao and Chen Zhixing to converse as they pleased.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing said helplessly:

"If you don't want to chat with me, just say it outright, why use this beast as a buffer? I came today as a casual visit, and now, not only did I fail to relax, but you've also added to my woes."

"Hm?"

Upon hearing this, Yimiao squinted her eyes slightly, and after a moment, suddenly smiled and asked, "Did that residual soul come looking for you, and said something strange making you feel disheartened and hopeless, prompting you to seek out someone who shares your misfortune?"
