The Master of Beasts-Chapter 609 - 161:

Over the past decade, Bai Yiyi hasn't changed much. She's still that little girl, just as cute as ever.

"Little White, what do you think we should do now?" Bai Yiyi sat cross-legged in boredom on the back of the Water and Fire Qingluan, her small hands nestled in the red and blue feathers.

"Caw!"

Little White suddenly let out an excited cry, its massive wings twitching slightly as it swiftly changed direction.

The wind roared past, and Chen Jiuge shielded his eyes with his hand. Once he lowered it again, he saw a proud and beautiful Qingluan.

"Are you... Little White?" Chen Jiuge recalled.

"Oh, it's Brother Chen!" Bai Yiyi jumped down from Little White, her short legs wobbling as she threw herself into Chen Jiuge's arms.

"It's Yiyi! Long time no see!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

Divine Tree Mansion

Chen Jiuge prepared some spirit food snacks and quietly listened to Bai Yiyi recount her experiences over the years.

It wasn't until an elegant and gentle noblewoman called from outside that Bai Yiyi reluctantly waved goodbye.

"Thank you, Junior Brother, for looking after my daughter," the noblewoman expressed her gratitude.

"No need to be so formal, Yiyi and I are good friends," Chen Jiuge waved his hand.

"Eek!"

After closing the door again, Chen Jiuge let out a deep sigh: "Turns out she's one of us!"

After becoming the Camp Leader, Chen Jiuge's power at the Heavenly Gate had significantly grown. He could clearly sense the overt and covert agents outside the gate, although he could only detect those below the Camp Leader.

"Bai Yiyi's mother, I remember she's Qiu Qiangwei, also Qiu Ruo's aunt, right."

Early the next morning

The familiar sound of a grand bell rang out. Greeted by the Chao Yang, Chen Jiuge watched as immortal cranes circled continuously in the sky, occasionally accompanied by disciples and elders passing by on their immortal artifacts.

"What a beautiful day!" Chen Jiuge marveled, tidying his attire and heading southeast.

Returning to the Five Elements Sect wasn't just a leisure trip for Chen Jiuge. The Star Moon City had been assigned to Chen Jiuge as his personal territory, and the Sect had been generous enough to give him several years to manage it as he saw fit.

As an Inner Sect Disciple, Chen Jiuge still needed to return to the Five Elements Sect and contribute to its prosperity!

"Spirit Plant Area, Section Three."

"Haha, it seems that No. 3 and I have some connection, but why the Spirit Plant Area? Shouldn't I be reassigned to the Spiritual Beast District?"

Chen Jiuge was a bit puzzled. After learning to master the basic control over spiritual beasts at the Jiuying Station, Chen Jiuge had developed a significant interest in spiritual beasts. If not for the difficulty in retrieving spiritual beasts once released into the Chaos World, he would have likely become a homebody again.

"Oh well, I'll find out when I get there!"

In the chaos of the void, Shen Buhai and Zi Hao stood side by side amidst the currents, the unique Dao of Daluo separating the chaotic streams.

"Do you think your idea is possible?" Shen Buhai asked lightly.

"Whether it comes true or not, what does it matter?" Zi Hao replied indifferently.

Facing Shen Buhai's scrutinizing gaze, Zi Hao chuckled twice: "Don't you think living too long becomes tedious? Seeing a magnificent display of fireworks, life ending there, I think that's quite nice!"

"You're truly a madman!" Shen Buhai muttered a curse, disappearing into the currents.

Zi Hao smirked disdainfully before feeling a bit lost: "A madman? Even Daluo is just an ant. Those who have passed are gone. Even Daluo is helpless, the meaning of life, life has no meaning."

"Of course, if I could take away the remnants, then perhaps the outcome wouldn't be so bad, wouldn't you agree, Shen Buhai?"

In the disorderly currents, a slight sound could be heard. It turned out Shen Buhai hadn't gone far after all.

"Are you afraid I'll do something to your grand-disciple?" Zi Hao shook his head slightly, chuckling inwardly: "He's one of us too!"
