Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1316 - 390: [Dao] (2)

"Need another five hundred, remove all the fish meat, leave only the fish bones, not even a trace of flesh left..."

"No, young master, you said to make fish balls from minced meat, I accepted that.

What do you need five hundred fish bones for?!"

"Deep-fried, they’re the crispiest, perfect as a snack with wine, is it not?"

Gui Geng was intimidated by Chen Yan’s gaze, not daring to lift his head: "Alright, alright, as you command."

"Also... five hundred fish more, no flesh and no bones, leave only the scales, each one meticulously scraped off!"

Still, Gui Geng, no matter how dull, knew Chen Yan was making things difficult for him, but the authority of the current young master was growing heavier each day, whenever he lost his temper, a mere glare would be filled with Blood Evil Qi. How could Gui Geng dare utter even half a word of refusal?

But eventually, he couldn’t help but ask: "What are the fish scales for?"

"Medicine."

"..."

After finishing his instructions, Chen Yan kicked Gui Geng out of the cave mansion, into the lake, sending the old turtle to catch fish.

He himself wandered around the cave mansion, watched the puppets clean up the place, indeed arranging everything neatly. He then petted Big White, holding him and sighing.

"This old turtle met me after gaining enlightenment, just a chance encounter, indeed proving to be ungrateful.

Moreover, Gu Qingyi is in the Celestial Human Realm, she had promised to take it back to the Domain Realm, hence naturally it feels it’ll fare better following Gu Qingyi."

Having said that, he vigorously rubbed Big White’s head twice: "You’re still the best, letting me feel at ease."

Big White purred, then forcefully nudged Chen Yan’s face away, jumped out from his embrace, darted onto the roof, curled up in a corner.

Truly feline, arrogance on clear display.

Chen Yan smiled at Big White then walked to a mirror inside the house, performed a Fingerprint with his hand, and with a shake, disappeared in front of the mirror, entering the Mirror World.

·

Inside the Mirror World, the cave mansion at the lake bottom, everything was set up exactly like the outside world, just flipped left and right.

Chen Yan took a stroll around the mansion, finally found the Yunqiao Great Demon under the pavilion beside the pond in the backyard.

The little girl sat there, arms crossed, staring at the lotus flowers in the pond, daydreaming.

When Chen Yan approached, the little girl merely twitched her ears slightly, then shifted her posture without turning her head, only murmuring: "You came later than I expected."

Chen Yan nodded, sat beside the little girl, brought out a bag of peanuts, tore it open, and slowly peeled and ate them.

At first, the little girl didn’t move; after Chen Yan ate seven or eight peanuts, she couldn’t resist but turned, grabbed the bag: "Leave the rest for me, don’t eat them all."

Chen Yan chuckled, simply took out a whole box of peanuts and placed it on the ground.

The little girl sighed: "You surely have plenty to ask me, don’t you."

Chen Yan didn’t speak, just smiled at the little girl.

"First off, I... there are things I can’t say, nor dare to say." The little girl spoke seriously: "Especially those involving the Saint... "

"You hide here and don’t return to the Domain Realm, what are you afraid of her for." Chen Yan shook his head.

The little girl bit her lip, fell silent again.

Chen Yan sighed: "So... you’re actually planning to return to the Domain Realm, aren’t you?

Hmm, you’ve regained quite a bit of your memory, haven’t you?"

The little girl still didn’t speak.

Chen Yan stared at her for a few moments: "So, what’s your true origin? Can you share it with me?"

The little girl finally spoke, but her tone was somber: "Me? Just an escaped fish from a whole tribe’s extermination."

"You know that Saint, have ties to her in the Domain Realm, and yet she couldn’t protect you?"

"Just a minor connection, she won’t go all out to protect me.

Moreover..."

The little girl looked at Chen Yan, eyes filled with seriousness: "I can’t reveal more, but remember one thing I say, take it to heart, don’t dismiss it lightly."

"What sentence?"

"The Domain Realm is far more dangerous than you realize, more than you imagine!

Even with the Saint as your backing, it won’t suffice.

Because, even the Saint, is not in control!"

Chen Yan remained silent, only quietly listening. Yet, right at this point, the little girl closed her lips, speaking no further.

Chen Yan sighed: "So, no more details you can provide, only this vague statement, is that it?"

The little girl nodded.

Chen Yan chuckled wryly.

A dangerous Domain Realm?

Saints out of control?

Hah!

Suddenly, the little girl finally sighed, whispered softly: "Don’t hate her."

"Hmm?"

"Don’t hate her, though she used you to cross tribulations and in your view, she took Lu Sisi away. But... Lu Sisi was originally her reincarnated self. This crossing of tribulations, to her, wasn’t just embellishment, not for some elusive pursuit of Heavenly Dao, but due to undeniable reasons!

She had no choice but to cross tribulations!

So, don’t hate her."

Chen Yan lowered his head, pondered deeply for a while, then nodded: "Alright, I understand."

This time, the little girl seemed a bit incredulous: "You... really took it in, not hating her anymore?"

"Funny, you told me not to hate her, I listened, now you don’t believe." Chen Yan replied lightly.

The little girl furrowed her brow, tightly watching Chen Yan: "I somehow feel... you’re not quite in the right mindset."

Chen Yan waved his hand: "Forget those matters, I’m not here today to inquire into any secrets.

Nor am I here to hold you accountable, demand why you refused to help me then, nor do I want to probe how you know that Saint.
