"Yes, I can feel it," Butterfly said proudly. Since it was the envoy of the mystic realm, its senses couldn't be wrong.
"When will it appear?" Leng Ruoxue continued asking.
"A week later," Butterfly answered.
"Where is it?"
"There's no fixed location. After the mystic realm opens, anyone with a spot can be teleported in automatically," Butterfly explained. Boohoo… After being aggrieved for so long, I'm finally going to have a use.
"Girl! You will very much need me in the mystic realm, so you have to treat me better from now on." Butterfly was a little smug again.
"Get lost! Go somewhere else!" Leng Ruoxue roared furiously. This damn Butterfly really didn't know how to behave!
"Girl, you're not gentle at all! You have to learn from Ruohan. As a girl, you can't behave like this," Butterfly said fearfully.
Two drops of cold sweat dripped down Leng Ruoxue's forehead. She broke the connection with Butterfly without hesitation and turned her gaze to the big bear.
At this moment, the bear had already completed its advancement and was sitting on the ground in a daze. Ju Ri was currently in the midst of his advancement because he had contracted with it and obtained many benefits…
Fifteen minutes later, Ju Ri completed his advancement. His face was full of disbelief as he looked at his stage. Heavens! Is this real?I-I actually advanced two stages and am now at peak Spiritual Sovereign! Wasn't this a little too easy?!
"Ahem!" Leng Ruoxue deliberately coughed twice to wake up the stunned human and beast.
"Master." The earth demon bear looked at Ju Ri happily. It was now a divine beast. Boohoo… It really wasn't easy.
"Big Bear, congratulations," Ju Ri said happily.
After the master and beast communicated enough, they finally remembered Leng Ruoxue.
"Ruoxue, thank you so much," Ju Ri said gratefully.
"Thank you," Big Bear said, its fluffy head showing a shy expression.
"You're welcome. Big Bear, you have to protect Big Brother Ju from now on!" Leng Ruoxue reminded him.
"Yes." Big Bear nodded. It had to protect its master! Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to survive either if anything happened to its master.
"Big Brother Ju, what happened?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the unconscious Xiang Dong and the others on the ground.
"Ah! Don't mention it." Ju Ri sighed heavily. If not for Ruoxue, their team would have become the sacrificial lambs to Big Bear's anger.
"That woman interrupted my cultivation. I was originally just a little away from advancement, but because of her, all my efforts were in vain." Thinking of this, Big Bear was still very angry.
"Big Brother Ju, let's go back after waking them up!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. The mystic realm was about to open, so she had to prepare early.
"Okay," Ju Ri agreed. Since this close call happened, he was no longer in the mood to continue protecting them and training them.
"Young Master, run! There's a bear!" Xiang Dong's memory still lingered from before he fainted, so he shouted excitedly after waking up.
"Calm down. It's okay." Ju Ri patted his shoulder to console him.
"Okay." Xiang Dong's mind slowly became clear.
The others were not much better than Xiang Dong…
After comforting the mercenary group, Ju Ri walked to Ma Zhongxian and said directly, "Elder Ma, let's go back!"
"Okay, let's go back!" Ma Zhongxian said helplessly. After what happened, he didn't have the face to ask them to continue protecting them. After all, they had discussed it beforehand.
"What? Go back! No, Second Uncle, we can't go back. I haven't found a spirit beast I like yet!" Ma Yurou yelled in disapproval when she heard their conversation.
"It's not up to you." Ma Zhongxian glared at his niece coldly. Because of her willfulness, they had almost lost their lives. Moreover, even though the Hurricane Mercenary Group didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that they wouldn't care about their lives if they insisted on staying here. It was really too unwise to sacrifice all their lives for such a willful niece.
"Second Uncle, did you forget what Father said before we left?" Ma Yurou immediately brought up her father when she saw that her second uncle didn't listen to her.
"I will explain this matter to Big Brother," Ma Zhongxian said uncompromisingly.
"Big Brother Ju, I don't want to leave this place." Ma Yurou looked at Ju Ri with tears in her eyes, hoping to move him with her tears.
"Stay here by yourself then!" Ju Ri said coldly. Then he turned and left, too lazy to entertain her any further.
Ma Zhongxian glanced at his niece indifferently and ordered the others from the Ma family, "Gather and prepare to leave."
Even after everyone sat on the flying spirit beasts, Ma Yurou remained motionless.
"Yurou, we're leaving if you don't want to come up," Ma Zhongxian said impatiently and gave an ultimatum.
Ma Yurou sat on a spirit beast's back unwillingly, still resentful.
At night, everyone returned to Phoenix City on the spirit beasts.
"Big Brother Ju, let's part here!" Leng Ruoxue said after entering Phoenix City.
"Okay." Ju Ri watched Leng Ruoxue leave before leaving with his team.
After returning to the general's mansion, Leng Ruoxue directly entered the bracelet.
"Butterfly," Leng Ruoxue called softly in the space.
"Girl, I'm here. Did you miss me?" The big purple Butterfly fluttered its wings and appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue.
"Can you be more normal? I have something to ask you." Leng Ruoxue helplessly wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. She was really helpless in front of Butterfly!
"Girl, ask away! I will tell you everything I know," Butterfly promised after circling around.
"Okay. Tell me about the mystic realm first! What's inside?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously.
