Zhao Wuyou heard Wu Cidu's question and replied somewhat funny:
"Yes, we finally survived this nightmare."
The two people had said countless words before this, words of encouragement and words to vent their emotions. At this time, the two of them were no longer as unfamiliar as before.
After hearing Zhao Wuyou's affirmative reply, the latter finally smiled. She put her chin on Zhao Wuyou's shoulder and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over. I'm really afraid that I won't be able to survive it."
"Everything will pass, nothing is impossible."
Perhaps because of the previous torture, Wu Ci no longer had the airs she had when she was a princess, but she was thinking a lot more. She had a deeper feeling about the past and life.
On the other hand, she also had a different feeling about Zhao Wuyou, who had gone through this painful time with her before.
Within a month, the two of them had finished chatting for the rest of their lives, and the rest of the time was spent absorbing the essence of the mythical beast in the pool.
However, Zhao Wuyou can always find fresh ideas, which makes Wu Ci, who is naive by nature, very shy.
Gradually, the relationship between the two people also changed.
Zhao Wuyou is also trying his best to restrain himself, not to think about those messy things, and concentrate on cultivating his supreme Taoist scriptures.
Zhou Zhentian has given most of his cultivation base. All he needs to do is learn to use these powers so that he can cope with the upcoming disaster.
Wu Ci was a little absent-minded. She always held Zhao Wuyou, like a little baby in need of adult love.
"If you do this again, I won't be polite."
"You're welcome, so what, I won't bite you to death."
"I'm not afraid of pain."
"If you have the ability, just come."
……..
The two people stayed in this butterfly space for a whole year, until the last day, the essence of the mythical beast in the pool was completely absorbed by the two people.
Zhao Wuyou also felt the vigorous power in his body for the first time.
If Wu Ci now becomes an existence that is evenly matched with His Majesty the Emperor, then he will become an existence that is beyond the reach of the Emperor.
When time passed, two people appeared in Wu Ci's room.
The jade pendant also became broken and turned into powder.
Only a moment in the world, but a full year in jade!
"I'm leaving. I have to do other things tomorrow." Zhao Wuyou looked at Wu Ci and smiled once, then turned around and left.
At this moment, the latter also realized that she had returned to reality and had become the aloof princess who needed to hide her heart every day.
However, the one year in Yuli made her mature a lot.
"Just go out like this, you bad guy!" Wu Ci looked at Zhao Wuyou, with a look of mist on his face.
"Then you can lend me a robe?"
"Okay." Wu Ci looked at herself, quickly grabbed a piece of clothing and put it on her own clothes. She then walked to the cabinet and took out a blue robe from the back, like a wife taking care of her husband.
, and put it on him personally.
The two people looked at each other and smiled in unison at the same time.
"You should rest early, I'm going back."
"Well, let me help you drive these night watchers out now. You can leave when there is no one around." Wu Ci walked out of the door with a smile and pushed aside the few people who were guarding the door for her to buy time for him to leave.
Zhao Wuyou also left the Prince's Mansion smoothly and marched all the way to Yangjiao Mountain.
At the bottom of the mountain, he looked at the wooden house in the distance and felt a little emotional in his heart. It was really not easy for him to live in a small house up here for so long.
Although his strength has skyrocketed, there are still many masters in the mythical beast tribe who cannot stand up to him. He cannot expose his strength too early to avoid being worried by those mythical beast tribes and causing them to take action against him in advance.
With his strength greatly increased, he kept a low-key attitude, bypassing those responsible for guarding him, and returned to the mountain. At this moment, the two sisters were practicing in front of the wooden house, while Banban was beside him, swatting lice out of boredom.
Banban was shocked when he saw Zhao Wuyou return. Logically speaking, if Zhao Wuyou secretly went out by himself, he would not be able to come back until the next morning, but he did not expect that this person would come back so early today.
It stood up, walked up to him, and looked at him curiously, but how could Zhao Wuyou not see through its little thoughts, so he pinched its ears with a smile, and then got into the house to sleep.
Sleep.
For more than a year in the jade pendant, in addition to absorbing cultivation and being tortured in the pool, his heart became even more tired.
Even though I could only have a cup of tea outside, I endured the hard work in my heart for a year.
He lay on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep, during which his body was still practicing without rest.
When the cultivation level reaches a certain height, even if the person is sleeping, the cultivation level still continues and they are still practicing silently.
Now Zhao Wuyou can finally sleep soundly.
Early the next morning, Zhao Wuyou walked up to the top of the mountain alone, took a breath of fresh air, and walked to the workshop by the way, intending to take a look at what his workshop was currently producing.
When he walked to the workshop, he found that the road here had been widened a lot, and there were many carriages coming and going, all transporting finished things down the mountain.
On the other side, the craftsmen are still working non-stop. The temperature here is about ten degrees higher than next door, especially in the blacksmith shop, where several fat and strong men are shirtless and working hard to forge iron.
When he saw that everything was on track and there were no quality problems, Zhao Wuyou happily walked down the mountain leisurely from the widened road.
Although there are huge waterwheels on the mountain that can make these workshops produce faster, transportation is more difficult than small workshops on the street. Dozens of horse-drawn carriages and horse-drawn carriages are needed every day to help with transportation.
When we came to the street, there were still crowds of people. Under his deliberate stimulation, many business travelers set up camp here and regarded it as a transit station.
Sure enough, it is close to the capital and easy to do. In less than half a year, this barren mountain has become a must-see for passing tourists, and the entertainment facilities are also very developed, making people reluctant to leave.
On the way, he happened to see Wu Hai, who was also patrolling on the street. He was sitting on a horse and looking at Zhao Wuyou with a proud expression. The few little legs beside him showed the power of dog and man to the fullest.
But now, relying on his relationship with Wu Ci, Zhao Wuyou also planned to bully him again, so he smiled and said nothing. How could he be a true brother-in-law?
Compared to Zhao Wuyou, who is free and stress-free, Wu Hai is still under a lot of pressure. He hopes to prove his ability, and has been working hard towards this goal recently.
But Zhao Wuyou's previous plan for Yangjiao Mountain was really detailed and thoughtful. Even if he wanted to change it again, it would only be in some details and the main body could not be changed at all.
And although he has been sought after by others during this period, in fact, his control over Yangjiao Mountain is still very low, and he is not Zhao Wuyou's opponent at all.
Those who are in important positions are either Zhao Wuyou's people or people who are dependent on him. Even if they want to accomplish something, they still need to discuss with Zhao Wuyou.
Especially when Gong Jiu was injured before, he saw clearly the gap between himself and Zhao Wuyou. They were really different.
But even so, he was not willing to fail like this. In order to compete with Zhao Wuyou, he specifically complained to his brother-in-law, the prince, and asked him to support him.
The prince's support was only verbal, and he only said that he would fight back and forth with Zhao Wuyou, but he did not give any actual support.
Gradually, Wu Hai himself became tired, and he regarded Zhao Wuyou as his lifelong enemy.
Back on the mountain, the woman who was picked up came out at this time. She looked at Zhao Wuyou in disbelief.
"Sir, are you the one who rescued me?"
Zhao Wuyou didn't know her, but when he saw this woman appearing in front of his cabin and speaking in the same dialect as Wu Hai, he found out the woman's identity.
Taking the first two steps, Zhao Wuyou couldn't help but sigh. This Wu Hai was not old, had good eyesight, and his sweetheart was pretty. Unfortunately, he was sick and looked pale.
"I wasn't the one who rescued you, it was the two doctors who rescued you.
Just play in the mountains these days and take good care of yourself, and I will take you home."
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said to her.
Bingqing Yujie also stood up at this time, and pulled the woman who was still having difficulty moving to sit down in front of the wooden house. The three of them talked and laughed together, and they were not alone.
Walking into the room, Zhao Wuyou saw Banban lying on the ground helplessly. It did not dare to practice now because it was about to break through, but it was not sure that it could succeed.
Seeing Banban's helplessness, Zhao Wuyou was no longer restrained. He squatted on the ground, patted Banban's head, and comforted:
"Little Banban, if you practice hard now, big brother will definitely be able to let you live a good life. You have to believe me."
Moved by his disgusting words, Banban quickly retreated to the back corner and looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.
"You little thing, I can't tell you nice things, but you have to let me tell you bad things, right?" Zhao Wuyou stood up, pointed at Banban and cursed angrily.
"Come out quickly and don't make me angry. If you really push me, I will beat you to the bottom of the mountain."
Perhaps because he was really shocked by Zhao Wuyou, Banban complained for a moment, then stood up and walked slowly in front of Zhao Wuyou.
Seeing that it was finally obedient and not so scared, Zhao Wuyou also smiled. He pulled Banban, who was already 1.7 meters tall, over 3 meters long, and weighed 500 kilograms, out of the wooden house. The two of them came to a hidden place on the mountain.
.
"Okay, let's go here,"
Zhao Wuyou stood under a tree. He looked at Banban and said softly:
"We have known each other for such a long time, and I will not harm you. You are like this every day, worrying about your cultivation. You dare not look forward or look back.
Let's just be quick and move forward, don't be afraid, the more afraid you are, the longer you will delay, which will be detrimental to your future development."
Then, he smoothed the hair on Banban's body and encouraged it.
It was only then that Banban really plucked up the courage to start practicing and work hard for his own breakthrough.
Zhao Wuyou stood aside, guarding him to ensure that no one would disrupt his overall breakthrough.
A day later, Banban finally reached the critical point. It began to feel hot, and its whole body seemed to be shaking, shaking constantly, and whining like it was crying.
In order not to disturb it, Zhao Wuyou said nothing and just stood there, looking at it with a worried expression.
After all, he didn't understand the advancement of this divine beast, nor did he know what it would look like after it broke through.
Gradually, Banban's body seemed to be on fire, and his whole body was as hot as a fireball. Zhao Wuyou felt it was too hot even when he was standing two meters away from it.
Its whimpering became louder, and its whole body shook at a much faster rate, which made people feel distressed when they saw it. However, on the road of cultivation, one can only keep moving forward. If it fails, it will have nothing.
Along with the burning sensation, Banban's body gradually became smaller, and his body also began to undergo great changes. His originally white hair also began to become burnt black, and then was burnt away.
Three days later, Banban's size had shrunk by more than half, and was only as big as an ordinary tiger, but its power was purer, very similar to the woman who was often with Long Shengyi.
He didn't know whether the two were of the same kind, but he knew that now was Banban's critical moment, and he must not let it cause trouble, nor let other things delay Banban's breakthrough.
After another two days, Banban became the same as he was when he was more than three months old. The hair on his body grew back and became brighter and whiter.
Its cultivation seems to have made greater progress, but it still has not awakened and seems to be still changing.
"Damn it, I just opened up its bloodline. How could it develop in the direction of a beast king and purify its own bloodline?"
The mysterious woman didn't know when she came. When she saw Banban now, she couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Banban's development potential exceeded her imagination.
"It's really amazing that a guy with such a poor bloodline can improve his bloodline to this level through cultivation." The woman couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Banban who had already transformed.
"Then will it be more powerful than you in the future, or is it already more powerful than you now?" Zhao Wuyou couldn't help but feel more relaxed after seeing it successfully overcome the difficulties, and actually thought of making a joke about the mysterious woman.
"Are you looking for death?" the mysterious woman roared angrily, and then she punched Zhao Wuyou regardless.
