Chapter 144 Snow Sun Grass Acquired
After Yun Yici noticed that the woman's expression visibly relaxed after she blocked the woman's view.
Yun Yici immediately realized that this woman wasn't actually unafraid of the imperial edict and Mu Yunjian; she was just putting on a brave face.
Realizing this, Yun Yici remained standing and chatted with her casually, "Senior, how long have you known my grandmaster?"
The woman still dared not drink the tea in her cup, and was instead looking down to gently inhale the fragrant aroma.
Upon hearing Yun Yici's words, she looked up, completely bewildered, and asked, "Who is your grandmaster?"
Yun Yici explained, "My grandmaster is the Rong brother you mentioned."
The woman suddenly realized and said, "So you're talking about Brother Rong."
“It’s been a long, long time. We visited him when he first came to this mountain.”
"Hey, you asked me something, and I want to ask you something too."
The woman suddenly became interested and stared at Yun Yici from head to toe.
Being so close, Yun Yici felt a jolt in her brow from being scrutinized like a wild beast.
Huai Chuan reminded him, "Don't forget that her true form is a ninth-tier demon beast. Don't let your guard down."
Yun Yici responded, but she knew very well that Wen Fuyue and the others who seemed to be drinking tea and chatting in the pavilion were all watching her safety.
Yun Yici spoke up, "Senior, my name is Yun Yici. May I ask your name?"
The woman pondered for a long time before uttering two words: "Xue Lian".
Xue Lian quickly realized what she meant and frowned, saying, "You humans are indeed cunning. You said it was my turn to ask, but you asked me another question."
"No, I have two questions to ask next."
Yun Yici readily replied, "Ask away, anything I know."
"Is that rabbit-like one and that one in red a demon cultivator?"
Xue Lian had asked twice before but no one paid any attention to her. Now that she had finally found someone willing to talk to her, she was naturally eager to ask the question she wanted to know.
Yun Yici neither answered yes nor no, but said tactfully, "Didn't you feel it all?"
Xue Lian was silent for a moment, then said, "Could you ask them if they have any Transformation Grass? I heard that in the Demon Realm, nobles of the Demon Clan would bestow Transformation Grass upon the demons below them."
After consuming the Transformation Grass, Xue Lian is now considered half a demon cultivator, but she still felt an irresistible bloodline submission in front of Mu Yunjian and Di Zhao.
She guessed that the rabbit and the man in red were both high-level demons, and perhaps they had the Transformation Grass she wanted.
Yun Yici originally wanted to answer no, but remembering that Xue Lian's request was to "ask for her," she got up and returned to the pavilion.
The emperor's gaze fell on the thin layer of snow that had accumulated on Yun Yici's shoulders.
He subtly shifted his gaze away, saying casually, "What do you want to know? I'll ask her."
Yun Yici said, "I didn't want to know anything. I was just thinking of offering her a cup of tea, but we ended up chatting all of a sudden."
"However, she asked me to ask you something: do you have any Transformation Grass on you?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Mu Yunjian said, "Speaking of which, I know there is a clan in the demon realm that is skilled at cultivating flowers and plants, and it seems they do this kind of niche business."
"However, business in the demon realm cannot be conducted in the human realm."
In short, the Transformation Grass cultivated by demon cultivators is not circulated in the human realm.
After receiving a reply, Yun Yici told everyone not to approach and disturb Xue Lian before returning to Xue Lian's side and telling her what she wanted to know.
This time, Xue Lian, who had been wary of Yun Yici, found her much more agreeable. Seeing that she was still getting soaked in the snow in the courtyard, she even took the initiative to invite her to take shelter from the snow under the eaves.
The distance between the two suddenly closed.
Yun Yici had already guessed that Xue Lian was a female among the mountain-guarding demon beasts. She said, "Senior Xue Lian, before I entered Kunlun, I heard that there was a kind of Snow Sun Grass on Kunlun Mountain."
Xue Lian said, "Snow Sun Grass? Isn't that the grass that Hei Lian and I used to build our nest?"
Yun Yici was surprised and asked, "Are there many Snow Sun Grasses?"
“That kind of grass is very warm to sleep on in winter, and every year people come to steal our nests.”
Yun Yici coughed lightly and said, "Then, senior, could you give me one?"
Yun Yici originally thought that since they were all here, with Wen Fuyue's influence, it wouldn't be difficult for Rong Yan to communicate with Xue Lian and obtain a Snow Sun Grass.
But then she thought again, Rong Yan was going to use the Snow Sun Grass to exchange for the Second Miss Shang.
It's obvious that Rong Yan wants to take advantage of someone's misfortune, and it's unclear whether he will agree to it.
Yun Yici only tried mentioning it to Xue Lian, but Xue Lian readily agreed, "You can have one, but no more."
She reached out and grabbed at the air, which instantly twisted and opened a hole. Her hand quickly reached in and out, and a crimson spirit herb covered in frost appeared in her hand.
"Here, here you go."
The commotion made Wen Fuyue and the others in the pavilion stand up.
Wen Fuyue exclaimed in surprise, "She actually has her own spatial ability, but I clearly see that she is an ice-type demon beast."
Rong Xuan watched as Yun Yici was about to take the spiritual herb from the woman's hand and couldn't help but say, "We should call our junior sister back quickly, or she might be in danger."
Yun Yici was completely unaware of this. She accepted the Snow Sun Grass from Xue Lian, thanked her, and took out extra tea and snacks from her storage bag to give to Xue Lian.
Xue Lian had almost let her guard down around her. She placed the now-cold teacup aside, but nibbled on the tea and snacks that Yun Yici offered.
Seeing this, the people in the pavilion still dared not let their guard down and kept an eye on Yun Yici's movements.
As Xue Lian ate, she said, "You humans have so many delicious foods. We have nothing on Kunlun Mountain, so we can only eat raw food."
After finishing the whole pastry, Xue Lian quickly picked up a few more pieces and threw them into her space.
Huai Chuan dutifully explained to Yun Yici, "The true form of this creature called Xue Lian should be a Devouring Sky Talon. Its fur is black and white, it is ice-type, and it has innate spatial abilities."
"From what she said, there is a male Sky-Swallowing Tamarin in Kunlun that is her mate."
"I think the spaces of these two Devouring Talons are connected."
Yun Yici said to Huaichuan, "She has no ill intentions towards us at this moment. If we can bring the Snow Sun Grass down the mountain, we can save the life of Miss Shang. Compared to this Devouring Sky Ram, I am more worried about my grandmaster."
"He subdued a ninth-tier demonic beast that had taken human form and guarded the place closely, clearly indicating that something was hidden inside."
Yun Yici probed Xue Lian a few more times and found that she would keep quiet whenever the situation inside the house was mentioned.
Left with no other choice, everyone patiently waited in the pavilion.
As darkness fell, lanterns were hung under the eaves of the small building guarded by Xue Lian, and only then did everyone see a streak of light coming from the distant mountains toward this place.
The moment Wen Fuyue saw the streak of light, she involuntarily stood up and cautiously looked up.
Seeing him like this, Yun Yici and the others felt a pang of sorrow in their hearts.
Their master was once a disciple who followed behind his master.
