--- Chapter 171 ---
"Everyone, I'm back!" Yu Long entered the resort and saw the ladies talking in the lounge room.
Su Ling'er jumped from her seat excitedly and ran to hug Yu Long. "Big Brother Yu Long~!"
Yu Long smiled and patted her, "There, there."
"Has Ling'er been a good girl when Big Brother went out?"
"Mm." Su Ling'er nodded a little. "Ling'er has been a good girl!"
Shortly after, everyone else greeted Yu Long and invited him to sit beside them. Then, they suddenly noticed something from the corner of their eyes.
Like a singled-out image of a picture, Shizu stood out in the corner with a neutral expression."Oh!" Su Ling'er found Shizu absolutely beautiful. "Big Brother, who is this beautiful older sister?"
Yunlong stepped behind and introduced the rebirthed Ancestral God to everyone, "Her name is Shizu. She's a new maid that I recruited on my way here."
Faced with such a blatant lie, Su Ling'er giggled unknowingly, but her eyes lit up in amazement. "Woah... Hi, Sister Shizu." She introduced herself right away. "My name is Su Ling'er!"
Shizu smiled outside, "Nice to meet you, Su Ling'er."
Although Shizu was smiling, she couldn't help but feel guilty when seeing Su Ling'er in the flesh. She altered this child's life back then, so watching Su Ling'er greeting her like this is like torture.
At the same time, Shizu also felt penetrating gazes on herself.
The gazes are coming from Cang Yue and Xia Qingyue.
Cang Yue cultivated Monarch Heart Secret Art, allowing her to pry into Worldly Luck Qi and others. However, Shizu is a complete void in Cang Yue's sense because her existence is like an anomaly in the Algorithm.
She couldn't sense a bit of luck in Shizu, which means Yu Long's new maid was either unlucky or she hid it.
Meanwhile, Xia Qingyue frowned because she knew Shizu's identity right away. As the possessor of [Nine Profound Exquisite Body] and [Heart of Snow Glazed Glass], Xia Qingyue could see the essence of an object or person.
From Shizu, Xia Qingyue felt an indescribable familiarity. Since Yu Long had told her earlier about the person who influenced her fate, she could guess Shizu was the Ancestral God!
Xia Qingyue gazed at Shizu and thought solemnly, 'You, the Originator of the Primordial Era of Gods, messed with my fate. I was mad and wished nothing but to tear you apart...'
'I don't want to appear vengeful in front of Yu Long, but who said I can't hate you in my heart? Hah, even a mighty being like you can get reduced to a mere maid of my husband!' She viciously smiled when thinking about Ancestral God's fate.
So what if you're the Ancestral God? My husband is the King of Monsters!
Looking at Xia Qingyue's smile, Shizu can read Xia Qingyue's thoughts without using her ability and helplessly sighs in her heart. Yet another victim of her past wrongdoings.
'I can't blame Xia Qingyue for hating me.' Shizu would do her best to fix things up and be friendly with others. Even then, she doesn't feel she deserves forgiveness until everything is 'completely' settled.
Even though Shizu wanted to throw all this mess at Xiao Lingxi, she couldn't. Xiao Lingxi has lost her status as the Ancestral God's 1000th Reincarnation because of Yu Long's interference, and she's no different than a village girl now.
Xiao Lingxi might possess a trace of Ancestral God's minuscule talents, but that's it.
Only Shizu has the power to step down and do the dirty work.
She's somewhat prideful, after all.
After everyone knows Shizu, Yu Long tells them to pack things up because they will go to the Lost Heaven Sect.
"Oh, yeah. Shizu." Yu Long suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, Master?" Shizu naturally responded.
Yu Long pointed his finger at Su Ling'er and said, "As you can probably sense, Su Ling'e here possessed a trace of your Chaos Attribute. Besides aiding me and my companion, your most important task is to teach Su Ling'er how to cultivate in the early realm."
"I've given Su Ling'er a suitable Profound Art, so feel free to add on it and help her improve in Profound Way, but never change its core. Do you understand?"
Shizu blinked in surprise because her meddling in Su Ling'er's life created a miracle. However, she was even more shocked when learning Yu Long had given Su Ling'er a suitable Profound Art to cultivate, which means he tailor-made it for her!
'I know he has unique powers beyond the realm of Primal Chaos, but this is something else.' Shizu stared at Su Ling'er thoughtfully.
"Woah, Sister Shizu is going to be my teacher~?" Su Ling'er asked while tilting her head.
Shizu smiled, "Yes, let's get along well, Ling'er."
"Yey~!"
Su Ling'er hopped around excitedly.
...
Walking out of the beach resort, everyone gave it a last look before flying away.
On the way to the Lost Heaven Sect, someone finally said something.
"Aaah, I miss the resort already!" Lily shouted first.
Everyone agreed with Lily because those four days were the most relaxed ones they ever had in the last few years. Even a workaholic like Yu Long agreed with Lily.
"We can always visit in the future." Nonetheless, Yu Long already has a schedule in mind. He can easily order Shizu to teleport everyone to the Lost Heaven Sect, but he wants to fetch some people first.
Increasing their paces, they arrived at the land formerly known as the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range. However, what comes into their vision is seven equally massive mountains surrounded by rivers, forests, and grasslands.
"What happened here?" Hong Guan was the one shocked this time.
Hong Guan, Lily, and Freya were sure that the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range and the surrounding area had gotten ruined to oblivion due to their fights with Dullahan.
Freya is resting in the Kaiju World and sees this scenery, grinning from ear to ear. Only a few days passed, but the destroyed land had returned to its full glory. It looks and feels much better than before.
Her hard work with other Kaiju paid off.
"I call for help. What do you think?" Yu Long flashed a smile at Hong Guan and Lily.
"It's great..." Hong Guan was happy. Then, she remembered those innocent lives she indirectly reaped.
Lily smacked Hong Guan's butt and made her yelp, "Okay, stop with the gloominess. It's not our fault."
"We tried to talk it out, but that monster ignored our plea."
Of course, Lily is talking about Dullahan.
"Okay..." Hong Guan's worry lessened slightly.
Meanwhile, Shizu looked around the reclamation land to see something ordinary eyes can't see and mumbled, "Impressive."
"Such an efficient control over matter..."
"It seems my seniors aren't ordinary."
"Teacher, why did you wear a blindfold?" Su Ling'er suddenly asked, making everyone gaze at Shizu in realization.
"Well..." Shizu stopped observing the land. "I did a lot of bad things recently. The blindfold is my way of sealing my eyes from doing bad things again."
"Owh~!" Su Ling'er nodded in understanding. "But you can still see with that on?"
Shizu giggled, "Yes. I can still see."
"Woah~!" The little girl was amazed. She thought Shizu wielded some unique magic or something.
Yu Long watched these conversations unfold and sighed in relief. Shizu isn't doing that badly.
"Oy, brat! How long are you going to make me wait!" A yell suddenly appeared in the mountains, echoing several miles away.
Yu Long recognized this voice and laughed, "Haha~! Don't make it like I was late, old man. It's just a few days."
At the mountaintop, Yu Long spotted Yun Canghai. Behind Yun Canghai is Hua Minghai(Ghost Mirage Sacred Hand) with his wife, Fen Juechen, Sikong Du, and the Fairies of Frozen Cloud Asgard.
Before Dullahan comes with his army, they have evacuated far away and returned upon receiving Yu Long's summoning call.
With the addition of these people, Yu Long gave Shizu an order to teleport everyone to the Lost Heaven Sect.
Shizu followed Yu Long's order, and everyone found themselves at the entrance of the Lost Heaven Sect. A collective gasp escaped their mouths because they couldn't even blink when it happened.
"Everyone, welcome to the Lost Heaven Sect." Yu Long said with a playful chuckle. "This is the place where you can achieve your dream."
