Liu Rouxin was unexpectedly easy to appease, and after a few words from Su Youyi, though she still looked displeased on the surface, her mouth obediently stepped down the stairs.
"Hmm? So, you're saying that right after someone just had a small spoonful, you directly drank a whole bucket of ice jelly?" Liang Yi pinched the back of Grandpa Orange's neck, casually shaking it a couple of times.
Grandpa Orange's eyes were closed, displaying a laid-back and mocking demeanor, yet his face showed not a trace of embarrassment.
"Who let that guy sneakily taste something and hide on the side, acting like he's afraid of being seen, meow."
"Hey, you cat... even if there was no one there, swallowing the whole bucket at once, isn't that a bit too much? Have you ever thought about others?" Liang Yi looked at Grandpa Orange, who seemed unfazed by the scalding water and evidently wouldn't spit out what he had eaten, and couldn't help but get even more irritated, shaking his hand a bit more violently.
"Stop shaking, stop shaking, if you keep shaking I'll go stupid, meow." Grandpa Orange finally couldn't endure it anymore, opened his eyes, and directly hung his whole body on Liang Yi's arm.
"Let's settle it like this... find a time to apologize to Sister Liu Rouxin." Liang Yi was also somewhat helpless towards the gluttonous Grandpa Orange, who had mastered the Law of Devouring and now wanted to stuff everything into his stomach.
"Okay, meow." Grandpa Orange wasn't an unreasonable person. Hearing this, he nodded in agreement, decided to give Liang Yi face.
"Hmph, and as a penalty, you're not allowed to eat ice jelly next time." Su Youyi then came over, smiling as she lightly tapped Grandpa Orange's cat nose with her fingertip.
"Ah? Then you might as well kill me, meow! I can give up my dignity, but I absolutely cannot give up eating!" Grandpa Orange closed his eyes and continued to play dead.
"..." Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and the listening Zhou Yuqing all had speechless expressions.
Liu Rouxin's recently subsided anger was almost aroused again; did this strange cat mean that apologizing to her was less important than a meal?
"Senior Brother, where are we now?" Su Youyi looked around. They wanted to reach their destination quickly, so they had directly steered the Floating Cloud Ship into the Astral Wind layer above the Cloud Sea and could only roughly determine which region they were in.
"Well... let me see, we are probably about to arrive at the South Capital of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty." Liang Yi casually conjured a map in mid-air, estimated the distance in his mind, and then looked up to answer.
"South Capital?" Zhou Yuqing recalled something upon hearing this place and looked somewhat melancholic.
"What's wrong, Sister Zhou?" Su Youyi keenly detected the change in Zhou Yuqing's expression and couldn't help but ask caringly.
Zhou Yuqing slowly walked to the bow of the ship, her gaze seemingly piercing through the Astral Wind and boundless Cloud Sea directly to a place below, remaining silent for a long time before finally speaking:
"It's alright to tell you, this is where Le Chanhe and I were previously ambushed by the Devouring Spirit Sect."
"Le Chanhe?" Liang Yi muttered this name, feeling somewhat familiar.
At this moment, Su Youyi gently tugged Liang Yi's sleeve and quietly said in his ear: "She's sister Yu's mother, Sect Master Fang's wife."
Liang Yi suddenly understood!
Grandpa Orange lay on the side, saying nothing, trying hard to lower his own presence.
Only Liu Rouxin was a bit confused, not knowing who Le Chanhe was or when exactly the senior Zhou was ambushed.
This incident occurred before Liu Rouxin was born, and due to its sensitive nature, not suitable for many to know, the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty had simply sealed off this news. If one did not specifically investigate, very few cultivators would understand the details.
"Mourn." Liang Yi's expression grew solemn as he murmured.
"This matter isn't over, I will personally kill that person to avenge Chanhe." Zhou Yuqing's gaze was unfluctuating, the matter having already been deeply buried in her heart when she regained her memory; thus, she naturally wouldn't show any emotional disturbances now.
Liu Rouxin also looked somewhat sorrowful, now hating the Devouring Spirit Sect even more. Whether it was her favorite senior brother or her best friend, sister Yu, both had suffered harm from the Devouring Spirit Sect, and even her master who was currently stationed at the Desert North Zen Sect was affected by their deeds.
Although Liu Rouxin noticed the gradually heavy atmosphere, she indeed didn't know much and could only resort to chatting with her sister Yu in her heart to relieve boredom.
Just then, an invisible fluctuation swept across the Floating Cloud Ship; all the defensive arrays on the ship showed no reaction at all. Though it caused no harm, it served as a perfect reminder.
"We've arrived!" Liang Yi's spirits lifted, recognising that this fluctuation was specifically set by the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, intended to let all cultivators driving flying artifacts know that the area ahead was the capital city of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, where flying was prohibited.
Naturally, Liang Yi and the others wouldn't actually cross the entire Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty, from the southernmost tip to the northernmost tip of the Mystical Mechanism Continent, even with Zhou Yuqing, a cultivator of the Eighth Realm, as such journeying would be extremely time-consuming and physically demanding.
After all, not everyone had access to Fang Zhi's convenient Escape Skill for traveling, which could span the entire continent in the blink of an eye.
South Capital Floating Dynasty, this was the name of this city located at the southernmost tip of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty.
Liang Yi looked up, the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty's four directional defensive fortifications all lacked city gates, but two large characters floated suspended in the air. The words "Floating Dynasty" penned by Emperor Zhou of the first generation were elegant and unrestrained, and close inspection revealed an inexplicable charm flowing through them.
