Ji Mei's heart melted, but the warmth surged forth, flowing even more fiercely.
It was all tears of excitement and happiness.
Wei Chen looked at Ji Mei with deep affection and gently said, "Ji Mei, you don’t need to cry anymore. If you keep crying, you won’t look pretty."
"Hmph! You only realize that now! Why didn’t you come find me yourself? Why did you send your other women to look for me?" Ji Mei forced back her tears and pouted as she asked.
Wei Chen replied, "I had other matters to attend to. I sent Yan Qiqi to let you get to know each other."
"I don’t want to get to know her..."
This thought was in Ji Mei's heart; she didn’t dare say it in front of Wei Chen. Moreover, Ji Mei was just temporarily angry, feeling that her self-confidence had been shaken in front of Yan Qiqi. Upon reflection, she understood clearly that Yan Qiqi was so powerful, having helped Wei Chen a lot and always being by his side. No matter what, she couldn’t lose her temper in front of Wei Chen because of Yan Qiqi.
Ji Mei had this emotional intelligence.
"Wei Chen, do you know that your actions this time are a bit excessive?" Ji Mei looked at Wei Chen with narrowed eyes.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It’s about the army pressing down on us; many people have been scared to death by you." Ji Mei paused before continuing, "Your strength is already enough to easily crush everything. With so many elite soldiers under your command, why scare people for so long? Wouldn’t it be better if you clarified things with the Soul World earlier?"
"You don’t understand," Wei Chen shook his head and smiled. "To condense the Heart of the World for the Soul World, the first step is to instill fear in the people of the Soul World. Once they are afraid, the morale of the entire Soul World will drop, making it easier to condense the Heart of the World. Otherwise, we would have to incite a massacre within the Soul World or destroy its buildings for Yan Qiqi to smoothly condense the Heart of the World. In fact, my army conquering other worlds is akin to the Upper Realm of the Soul World; when we conquer the Soul World, we crush all its buildings."
"Condensing the Heart of the World is a technical task that I cannot accomplish; only Yan Qiqi can do it. She is the Demon King and has the Refining Demon Pot in hand. Extracting a world’s soul and condensing the Heart of the World is her specialty."
"To achieve the goal of condensing the Heart of the World for the Soul World, I had no choice but to act this way—having my army press down without doing anything or informing the people of the Soul World—because I have feelings for it. Otherwise, I could have directly crushed everything within the Soul World, demolishing all its buildings and toppling its mountains. Yan Qiqi would have condensed the Heart of the World much faster."
Wei Chen looked at Ji Mei with a grin and continued, "Most importantly, a fearful Heart of the World from the Soul World will be easier for you to refine and absorb quickly. If Yan Qiqi spends time condensing a fully developed Heart of the World, honestly speaking, with your strength, it would be very difficult for you to refine it and would take countless hours."
After hearing Wei Chen's words, Ji Mei nodded in understanding, managing to steer away from that topic.
In fact, Wei Chen was not wrong, but it wasn't that serious. After all, the Heart of the World in Soul World was of a low level. Yan Qiqi could refine it without much pressure, and Ji Mei could absorb it easily as well.
Wei Chen was merely trying to cover up his own insecurities. He couldn't just tell Ji Mei that yes, he was bringing the Army to Soul World to flaunt his power, merely to satisfy his own vanity of returning home in glory.
He would never admit to such a thing.
Through his conversation with Ji Mei, Wei Chen found an excuse for bringing the Army into the territory. From now on, he could deal with Weirou, Snow Cicada, Mu Qingyan, and Ni Junlin this way. It was essentially a warm-up, and Wei Chen felt grateful to Ji Mei. He also felt proud of himself for his strong adaptability, lying without batting an eye.
Ji Mei said, "Alright, so what you mean is that I need to reassure the people of Soul World? The task falls on my shoulders?"
"Pretty much. If you refine and absorb the Heart of the World from Soul World early on and become its ruler, you can declare that there’s nothing to worry about in Soul World," Wei Chen replied calmly.
Ji Mei nodded firmly and said, "I will do my best to refine and absorb the Heart of the World from Soul World!"
"That's good. I can't help you with this; I can't interfere. That would affect your complete control over Soul World," Wei Chen stated.
Ji Mei agreed. In fact, she didn't want Wei Chen to interfere either. She already had a ready Heart of the World to refine and absorb. She felt that Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi had helped her enough; she couldn't ask for more assistance from Wei Chen.
Having obtained the Heart of the World from Soul World and about to become its deity meant she would have life-and-death power over everything within Soul World. She remembered Wei Chen's and Yan Qiqi's kindness but did not express it; not even a simple thank you.
Great kindness does not require thanks; it cannot be compensated with mere words or erase the past. Ji Mei's lack of gratitude did not mean she was ungrateful to Wei Chen and Yan Qiqi; rather, she felt their kindness was too great for her to know how to repay.
...
Within the Peach Blossom Sect, Ni Junlin was the strongest and had temporarily taken charge. By her side was Gu Yuehong acting as muscle, truly representing their strongest combat power. Donghua had been defeated by a powerful being from Upper Realm and had disappeared without a trace. Han Mang and Wei Chen were also absent, leaving Peach Blossom Sect in chaos. It was Ni Junlin and Gu Yuehong who managed to stabilize everyone.
Ni Junlin suspected that Wei Chen was among the Upper Realm Army but couldn't be certain, so she refrained from spreading this news widely within Peach Blossom Sect.
In Wei Chen's room, Ni Junlin gathered with Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan. Outside Wei Chen's room, Gu Yuehong stood guard with her arms crossed, preventing anyone from getting too close.
Ni Junlin looked at Snow Cicada, Weirou, and Mu Qingyan and said lightly, "Now I suspect even more that Wei Chen is indeed among the Upper Realm Army. It's more of a feeling than a guess. I plan to go find him and ask for clarification. What do you all think?"
Hearing Ni Junlin's words, Weirou immediately objected, "No way, that's too risky. If something happens to you, how are we going to explain it to Wei Chen when he returns?"
"Yeah, that's not going to work. We should just wait calmly," Snow Cicada added.
Mu Qingyan shook her head as well, saying, "Sister Ni Junlin, you are the strongest now and have reached the pinnacle of Soul World. But those Upper Realm powerhouses, you can feel their strength; it's no joke! It's better not to take risks. We don't know what the Upper Realm Army is planning, so we should just observe for now. At least they haven't shown any hostility towards our Peach Blossom Sect."
The three women all opposed Ni Junlin's idea of seeking trouble with the Upper Realm Army.
However, Ni Junlin was a proud and stubborn woman. Once she made up her mind about something, even Wei Chen would find it hard to change her will. What could Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan do?
Ni Junlin's gaze was serious as she scanned Snow Cicada, Mu Qingyan, and Weirou. "If this continues, with everyone in a state of panic, our Peach Blossom Sect might fall apart."
"Let it fall apart then! Our safety is more important than the Peach Blossom Sect. The sect can be rebuilt, but if we lose our lives, we lose everything. Sister Ni Junlin, you need to think this through," Snow Cicada advised.
Weirou and Mu Qingyan nodded frequently; Snow Cicada's words echoed their sentiments.
Ni Junlin shook her head. "I won't get into any trouble. I feel that Wei Chen is within the Upper Realm Army; there's no mistake about it. No matter what happens, I want to clarify this. Waiting idly is pointless."
"Sister, why don't you consider that if Wei Chen really is in the Upper Realm Army, then nothing will happen to our Peach Blossom Sect? What could possibly go wrong? Wei Chen will come out sooner or later; we just need to wait patiently," Mu Qingyan said.
This time it was Snow Cicada and Weirou who nodded in agreement; they both supported Mu Qingyan's perspective.
All three women disagreed with Ni Junlin's decision and found Mu Qingyan's reasoning quite sensible.
But Ni Junlin's stubborn nature left them helpless. No matter how much Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan opposed her decision, she remained resolute. Even if Wei Chen were present, it would be difficult for Ni Junlin to change her mind.
"Let me tell you the truth: the powerful being I fought against before was none other than the Destruction Demon Lotus that descended this year. I was sent here by him to protect his successor—Wei Chen. Later on, I learned some insider information and realized that I had been deceived by the Demon Lotus Emperor. He left some nonexistent soul memories in my Sea of Consciousness that subtly altered my feelings for Wei Chen. During Wei Chen's disappearance, I kept questioning myself about my feelings for him; honestly, I couldn't answer that either. All I know is that I still care about him deeply. Now that he has vanished, I'm anxious."
Ni Junlin looked at Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan as she continued, "The appearance of the Demon Lotus Emperor gave me hope. Although he is merely a Soul Body now, his performance during the battle with Donghua showed strength far beyond his previous life. It was a kind of formidable power that doesn't even exist in Hua Xia World."
"Hua Xia World is the Upper Realm above our current Soul World—the Upper Realm known to many as Soul World’s Upper Realm. Both the Demon Lotus Emperor and I come from Hua Xia World."
"Wei Chen is the heir of the Demon Lotus Emperor. The Demon Lotus Emperor treats Wei Chen like his own son. Since the Demon Lotus Emperor seems to be fine now and appears to hold a significant position in the Upper Realm Army, I deduce that Wei Chen is also safe and perhaps even holds a high status within the Upper Realm Army."
"I just can't understand why he hasn't come out, and the Demon Lotus Emperor hasn't given us any explanation."
Ni Junlin gazed deeply at Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan before continuing, "I am certain that Wei Chen is doing well in the Upper Realm Army, but I don't know what he is up to. I don't want to wait any longer; even if I can't find Wei Chen, I can at least locate the Demon Lotus Emperor."
"It's easy to find out. I won't be in any danger. Both Wei Chen and the Demon Lotus Emperor owe me."
With that, Ni Junlin stood up and walked out.
"Gu Yuehong, come with me to inquire with the Upper Realm Army. Wei Chen and the Demon Lotus Emperor will definitely come out to meet us," Ni Junlin said to Gu Yuehong.
Gu Yuehong nodded, having sensed Wei Chen's presence as well. Ni Junlin's words aligned perfectly with his thoughts.
Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan rushed out after them. Just as they were about to say something, Ni Junlin and Gu Yuehong had already soared out of Peach Blossom Sect.
In the next moment, Weirou, Snow Cicada, and Mu Qingyan watched in astonishment as Ni Junlin and Gu Yuehong suddenly transformed!
Everyone in Peach Blossom Sect and those nearby were left dumbfounded by the sight!
A giant python! A Divine Dragon!
