467: Chapter 467 Han Yue's Wonderful Adventure

Seven years ago.

Zhou Yan, just starting out, killed a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with his Qi Refinement Stage cultivation, saved Han Yue, and transformed her Spiritual Root into a Single Spiritual Root.

After this matter was settled, Han Wenqing left with Han Yue.

Before leaving, they received compensation from Yi Sanyi. They had plenty of money, enough to start a new life elsewhere and even live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

Han Wenqing's original plan was to leave the Northland and head to the Southern Desert.

After all, there were the fewest Demonic Cultivators there. Even if some Demonic Cultivators appeared in certain Small Worlds, as long as they kept to themselves and didn't wander aimlessly, they wouldn't encounter danger.

Han Wenqing's family ended up in that state because of Demonic Cultivators, so he naturally feared Demonic Cultivators to the extreme.

The two of them set off on their journey.

Han Wenqing was someone who had traveled extensively. He quickly chose the fastest route and arrived at the nearest town to rest temporarily.

Before parting, Zhou Yan had exhorted Han Yue, so Han Yue made up her mind to begin her Cultivate.

It was also at this time that Han Wenqing suddenly discovered that his niece had actually become a Single Spiritual Root.

He didn't have much contact with Han Yue normally, but his sister was also a Cultivator and couldn't have been unaware of her daughter's Spiritual Root situation. She had told him earlier that Han Yue's Aptitude was mediocre, so he never thought about specifically teaching Han Yue how to Cultivate, only intending to teach her a few self-defense moves to reduce danger during their subsequent journey.

Now suddenly discovering such a change, he immediately guessed the reason for the Spiritual Root alteration. He was shocked and even considered turning back immediately to beg Zhou Yan to help improve his own Aptitude as well.

But on second thought, considering his current situation, he felt that being able to live peacefully for the rest of his life was enough. Ultimately, he abandoned the idea and instead focused entirely on nurturing Han Yue.

The drastic change in Han Yue's Aptitude caused them to change their original plan, switching their destination from the Southern Desert to Kaifeng.

There were many high-level Cultivators in Kaifeng, who could find a good teacher for Han Yue's cultivation enlightenment and lay a solid foundation for her to join a better Sect in the future.

After resting in the town for a while, the two set off for Kaifeng.

But fate plays tricks. On the way, they encountered a convoy traveling in a panic. People in the convoy said a Drought Demon had appeared ahead. Hearing this, the two were instantly alarmed.

A Drought Demon is extremely powerful among the Jiangshi race, definitely not something a Qi Refinement Stage Loose Cultivator like Han Wenqing could contend with.

Even if he might be able to escape by luck, he couldn't feel at ease bringing Han Yue along, fearing some accident.

So the two of them joined the convoy, intending to go to a nearby Prefecture first and take a Teleportation Array to Kaifeng.

At this time, Zhou Yan was making progress in Jiangzhou.

The group's journey was fairly smooth. Just as they were about to arrive at the nearby Prefecture, a beast-eared girl covered in wounds suddenly appeared by the roadside and fainted directly on the ground.

Out of kindness, the crowd saved her.

After the girl woke up, everyone learned the whole story.

The girl's name was A'lan. She was a werewolf from a branch of the Spirit Race beastmen. Her original home was in Yuhai. Earlier, she had been abducted by an Evil Cultivator, moved from West River, and was finally sold to the Northland.

An Evil Cultivator took an interest in her, wanting to use her to refine a Human Pill to increase his cultivation. However, most Materials for refining Human Pills were forbidden items that couldn't be bought in ordinary places; they could only be purchased at a black market.

This Evil Cultivator was cunning and insidious by nature. He didn't leave A'lan in his Immortal Cave but instead placed a Restriction on her and kept her by his side, intending to use her at any time, giving her no way out.

As it happened, this Evil Cultivator had extremely bad luck. The black market he went to, Night Roaming Ruins, was exactly in the Jiangzhou area.

At that time, a mysterious person in the black market was being pursued by a group of thugs. The scene was chaotic, and many Cultivators with ill intentions took advantage of the chaos to cause trouble. That Evil Cultivator also became a victim.

He had to maintain the Restriction, which prevented him from using his full cultivation. Coupled with his advanced age and weak body, as he relied on Human Pills to maintain his lifespan, he was simply unable to resist and was ultimately beaten to death by a flurry of punches. His belongings were also looted.

Relying on a werewolf's outstanding Physique and extremely strong recovery power, A'lan fled the moment the Restriction dissipated. She ran all the way out of the Jiangzhou area and finally collapsed from exhaustion, where she was discovered by Han Wenqing's group.

After being rescued, A'lan wept bitterly and begged everyone to help her return to Yuhai, promising heavy rewards in the future.

A'lan's experience was very tragic, but the people in the merchant caravan all had their own families to care for. It was impossible for them to take a girl of unknown origin all the way to Yuhai.

Setting aside the issue of trust, the expense of escorting one person to Yuhai alone was not small. They hadn't made much money on this trip. If their goods hadn't been lost and they only lost some travel expenses, this trip would have been a total loss. Naturally, they couldn't agree to help her.

But Han Wenqing and Han Yue were different. They had just suffered persecution from Demonic Cultivators and now met A'lan, who shared a similar fate. Feeling pity and having ample funds, they changed their destination again, giving up on going to Kaifeng and instead sending A'lan back to Yuhai, after which they would go to the Southern Desert to Cultivate as originally planned.

Anyway, there were also many high-level Cultivators in the Southern Desert, so they could just give A'lan a ride along the way.

In this way, Han Wenqing, Han Yue, and A'lan traveled together.

It was precisely this kindness that allowed them to avoid that unprecedented disaster in Kaifeng. Han Wenqing's life also underwent a huge transformation because of it.

The journey was long. Through their time together, the three gradually got to know each other. Han Wenqing and A'lan even developed feelings for each other and became a couple.

Han Wenqing originally thought that in his situation, he would be satisfied just watching Han Yue grow up. He didn't expect that someone would not look down on him and be willing to be his companion.

A'lan was a werewolf herself, so that bit of wolf Bloodline in Han Wenqing's body was nothing to her. Additionally, Han Wenqing had saved her and was willing to send her home, and both were good-looking, so it was only natural for feelings to develop over time.

Han Yue thus gained an aunt.

Han Wenqing also obtained an Opportunity that Loose Cultivators dream of; it was truly a case of surviving a great disaster and having good fortune follow.

After arriving in Yuhai, Han Wenqing learned that A'lan's werewolf tribe was extremely powerful. The tribe's Wolf Ancestor was a top-tier expert with strength comparable to the Soul Transformation Stage, and there were many such experts in the tribe.

If not for the limited lifespan of werewolves, which is at most a few hundred years, the tribe's power could have been even stronger.

Han Wenqing safely returned A'lan to the tribe. The werewolf tribe, which values loyalty and gratitude, regarded both him and Han Yue as close kin.

With the help of the werewolf tribe, Han Wenqing stabilized his Bloodline issues and his lifespan returned to normal. Although it would be difficult for his cultivation to improve significantly, he could live without worry, and his strength could still increase by practicing werewolf Cultivation Techniques. He was already very satisfied.

But Zhou Yan was very indignant. This kid's luck was too good—not only did he snag a beast-eared girl, but he also took everything he could get!

The matter didn't end there. Han Yue also had something special about her. The werewolf leader invited an expert from the Catman tribe to help investigate and unexpectedly discovered that inside Little Three-Flower, who was by Han Yue's side, was hidden a trace of thin White Tiger Bloodline.

The White Tiger was originally a top-tier Yao Race, and its Bloodline being scattered everywhere was not unusual. However, a wonderful connection had developed between Han Yue and Little Three-Flower.

Because of the thin White Tiger Bloodline and the special connection with Han Yue, Little Three-Flower could follow the Yao Race cultivation path and also practice the Legacy Cultivation Technique of the Catman tribe.

Han Yue, on the other hand, could share cultivation insights with her, and she could also practice Human Race Cultivation Techniques. Coupled with the fact that she was already a Single Spiritual Root, her talent was exceptional.

In the eyes of the Catman tribe's experts, the two were undoubtedly a rare Opportunity.

So after the Catman and werewolf tribes consulted, they decided to be friendly for generations and fully nurture Han Yue and Little Three-Flower, hoping to create a top-tier expert surpassing the Soul Transformation Stage.

This was also why Han Yue's age didn't match Zhou Yan's impression.

Most Spirit Races live in Small Worlds. The time flow in a Small World is different from the Human Realm, so Han Yue's age naturally had a discrepancy.

As for why Han Yue appeared in the Joyous Union Sect, the reason was quite convoluted.

After the Catman and werewolf tribes merged, their respective Small Worlds also merged. The appearance of such a powerful Small World attracted many people with ill intentions.

A group of Cultivators with devious minds, while exploring ruins, led the Devil Head named Nickname into the merged Small World of the two tribes.

At that time, the two tribes were busy with integration affairs. The devil Nickname led a group of Cultivators to cause trouble everywhere, disturbing the peace of the Small World and exposing the special nature of Han Yue and Little Three-Flower, causing other tribes to covet them.

The Clan Chiefs of the two tribes were furious and personally led people to pursue the troublemakers.

The devil Nickname's escape speed was extremely fast, and in the end, they couldn't catch up. However, that group of Evil Cultivators was all captured and handed over to the Liyan Holy Land's enforcement team for summary execution.

But the matter had already been exposed, and the two tribes could no longer protect Han Yue and Little Three-Flower.

In desperation, the Clan Chiefs could only keep Little Three-Flower and send Han Yue, as a Human Race Prodigy, to a large Sect to Cultivate.

The Northland was a place of sorrow for Han Wenqing, and he did not agree to let Han Yue go back alone.

The Clan Chiefs also knew that the cultivation system of the Liyan Holy Land was too strict and didn't want Han Yue to suffer, so they didn't send her there, ultimately choosing the Butian Pavilion.

But just then, the Joyous Union Sect, one of the Six Demonic Sects, took the initiative to visit and proposed to take Han Yue as a disciple.

Han Wenqing originally had a shadow in his heart regarding Demonic Cultivators, but the conditions offered by the Joyous Union Sect were such that he couldn't refuse.

The person from the Joyous Union Sect stated that if Han Yue were willing to join the Joyous Union Sect, she would be personally taught by the Joyous Union Sect's Young Lord, one of the top contemporary Prodigies.

The Joyous Union Sect also truthfully informed Han Wenqing about the Sect's actual situation and the prosperity of the Desire Realm.

More importantly, Demonic Cultivators understand Demonic Cultivators best. Han Yue's current Physique would undoubtedly attract the attention of the Truth Cult.

If Han Yue entered the Joyous Union Sect headquarters, the people from the Truth Cult would never dare to come looking for trouble.

But she if went to another Sect, once she encountered people from the Truth Cult outside, she might fall into great danger.

After much consideration, Han Yue finally entered the Joyous Union Sect to Cultivate.

And her appearance here this time was for a simple reason.

The Joyous Union Sect manages many entertainment industries, so Sect missions are naturally different from ordinary missions of slaying demons and devils.

Han Yue's Sect mission route was to debut as an Idol. This time she was just here for a guest appearance as a supporting singer.

Zhou Yan sat there and listened to Han Yue finish telling her experiences over the years, and he couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.

But just then, the door was suddenly pushed open. Sister Chen walked into the lounge with an apologetic look, carrying a bag of Fried Dumplings. The bag was even printed with the Taiyi pre-prepared meals logo.

"Why was the door locked? Luckily I brought the key, otherwise..."

Her eyes widened instantly. Seeing an extra person in front of her, her hand loosened, and the bag fell toward the floor.

She instinctively wanted to scream, but suddenly felt a cool breeze pass in front of her.

The bag was caught steadily, and a soft sensation came from her lips.

"Mmph."

Someone covered her mouth, but she wasn't afraid; instead, her face turned red with blushing.

This person is so good-looking!!!
