Longevity through Upgrading Buildings

Chapter 733: Chapter 313: Arrival at the Jiyuan Continent

"What path..."

Du Wanyi asked instinctively, but just as she finished speaking, she realized and changed her question: "Then, Fourth Brother, what’s your plan?"

"Me?"

Ji Yuan clenched his right hand placed on the tea table, then raised it, causing several array flags to fly out and insert themselves around the room, instantly opening a restriction that enveloped the entire house.

"I have a way to go to the Jiyuan Continent."

"This Cangluo Continent is too chaotic, and I can’t stay here for too long either. Eventually, I’ll go there, but for now... I have some things to do here."

"If you want, Second Sister, I can send you there first."

Ji Yuan spoke all at once.

Such matters weren’t something to be concealed from Du Wanyi; he should just be straightforward.

Moreover, compared to being in this Cangluo Continent, the Jiyuan Continent is indeed safer, so Ji Yuan sincerely hopes Du Wanyi can go first. When he goes later, there will be a place for him to settle.

"What? Jiyuan Continent?"

Indeed, Du Wanyi was extremely surprised to hear this.

"Yes."

"Fourth Brother, you actually have a way to go to the Jiyuan Continent?"

"Yes, I have a sea map."

Ji Yuan spoke honestly.

Du Wanyi didn’t respond immediately but became somewhat silent.

Ji Yuan wasn’t in a hurry; such matters weren’t something to be decided in a flash.

So, he wandered around Du Wanyi’s courtyard, letting the house for Second Sister to contemplate.

During which, Ji Yuan also saw the maid Xia He. The latter, upon seeing Ji Yuan, was somewhat fearful yet curious.

"Are you... are you also an Immortal like Miss?"

Xia He asked fearfully.

Ji Yuan shook his head, "No."

"Huh?"

"I am... a Demon."

As Ji Yuan spoke, he transformed into his demon dao attire.

He thought Xia He would be frightened by his appearance and was even ready to give her an elixir.

Yet unexpectedly, the little maid didn’t even blink upon seeing him dressed in demon dao clothes.

"With your looks, Fourth Brother, are you still expecting to scare girls? It’s fortunate enough you haven’t stolen their souls."

A playful voice came from behind Du Wanyi.

This left Ji Yuan feeling quite embarrassed, hurriedly changing back to his previous appearance.

Xia He realized and cried out "Ah," then quickly covered her face and ran to the backyard.

Ji Yuan chuckled; this little maid had quite a personality, at least a welcome diversion.

"Have you decided, Second Sister?"

Ji Yuan turned to look at Du Wanyi leaning against the doorframe.

"I have decided."

She nodded slightly.

So... Ji Yuan entered the house.

They sat down in their previous positions, Ji Yuan didn’t question further but silently waited for Du Wanyi’s words.

Du Wanyi remained silent for a while before speaking: "I’ve been living in Qingqiu City for over half a year. This past half year... counts as the most peaceful time of my life."

"Here, there are no external conflicts and commotions, only quietness and harmony. If any trouble arises, I can easily handle it with my Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, and even help others along the way."

"I’ve had enough of the fighting and killing in the cultivation realm."

Du Wanyi shook her head, sighing deeply.

"Then I understand."

Ji Yuan murmured.

"No, Fourth Brother, you don’t understand." Du Wanyi suddenly raised her voice a bit, attracting Ji Yuan’s attention, her originally somewhat bitter expression suddenly filled with smiles.

"But since you’re going to venture into the Jiyuan Continent, how can I, as your Second Sister, not go?"

"Second Sister, you..."

This answer was truly unexpected for Ji Yuan.

Du Wanyi continued smiling, "Since you have matters and can’t go yet, I’ll go first to scout the situation on the Jiyuan Continent, and find a place to settle. Then when you come, you won’t be in the dark."

Ji Yuan instinctively wanted to say yes.

But then he remembered, "The situation on the Jiyuan Continent isn’t that stable either. Going alone to scout is rather risky."

Du Wanyi hearing this, suddenly smiled.

"Fourth Brother, are you treating me as if I was a fledgling entering the Immortal Sect or as a junior that needs your care?"

"Remember, we both walked out from the Cloud Rain Marsh, I even ventured into the Nine Nether Cave Heaven, and managed to return to the Water Dragon Sect from chaos."

"In other words, I am definitely not a delicate little junior."

With her last words, Du Wanyi’s aura suddenly changed, releasing a strong killing intent.

Only then did Ji Yuan realize.

His Second Sister has always been tough.

The reason he felt Du Wanyi needed care was because his cultivation level far surpasses hers now, and his strength is much greater.

"It’s just... still somewhat dangerous."

"Then do you think I’ll be safe here in the Cangluo Continent?"

Du Wanyi shifted her tone suddenly, "Of course, if this sea map is precious, and you don’t want me to go, then so be it. I’ll just stay here in Cangluo Continent and wait for fate, which is fine too."

Ji Yuan heard this, and could only say helplessly:

"Second Sister, you’ve made up your mind, right."

"Yes."

Du Wanyi admitted frankly, "Earlier, I thought I’d never see you again, so cultivation seemed pointless. But now, since there’s an opportunity to venture together into the cultivation realm, how can I give it up?"
