Chapter 374: Chapter 366: Seeing Liu Qianqian Again?_1
"This is where the little Qianye consciousness sleeps, but now I can\'t perceive where it is," Fang Ren said.
Although he was happy to be here, not being able to detect the exact location of little Qianye meant that even if he had come here, what was the difference between this and being outside?
The place was boundlessly vast, he didn\'t know when he would find the consciousness of little Qianye.
"Then, which part is it usually in?" Bai Qi asked.
"The top, I guess."
"So what are we waiting for? Why don\'t we just make a trip to the top first?" Bai Qi said.
Fang Ren looked up at the pitch-black space and sighed, "Given our realms, if we want to reach the top, we probably won\'t make it in this lifetime."
Bai Qi also looked up at the tree extending into the darkness and was somewhat incredulous, "Is it as mystical as you say?"
Fang Ren said, "I remember when I reached the top before, it was a branch that pulled me up. I don\'t know if now, without little Qianye\'s guidance, the branch will respond to my wishes."
After saying this, he conveyed his thoughts to the gigantic tree in front of him. He originally thought it would be difficult to achieve, but to his surprise, in the next instant, a branch flew over from the distant darkness.
He hurriedly grabbed Bai Qi\'s arm; once the branch wrapped around him, he would instantly reach the top, and then he would know how far away he was from Bai Qi.
Indeed, the moment the branch touched Fang Ren, he only felt darkness before his eyes, and when he regained his senses, he found himself standing at the top of the great tree.
"What just... happened?"
Bai Qi, startled, looked around at the vastly different surroundings.
Her Cultivation Realm was already high, so how fast was that speed to make her vision darken and lose consciousness?
"It really is here."
Fang Ren looked at the sleeping little Qianye atop the tree and felt a little annoyed inside. This creature was so cozy in sleep, oblivious to the amount of effort he had put in all this time just to see it.
Bai Qi, having recovered, looked at little Qianye who was fast asleep and almost wanted to laugh.
"Hey."
Fang Ren poked little Qianye\'s face with his finger.
"Mm?"
Unexpectedly, little Qianye woke up with ease.
It seemed very tired, rubbing its eyes continuously with its round arms and yawning.
"What\'s the matter?"
Fang Ren didn\'t rush to ask for its help, but first inquired about its condition.
"Sleepy, yawn," little Qianye replied with squinted eyes.
"You\'ve been asleep for over twenty years."
"Too little, yawn."
"So how much longer do you want to sleep?"
"Energy overspent, need another fifty years, yawn," little Qianye said.
Fang Ren worried upon hearing this, "Can you still use some of your power? Liu Qianqian has suddenly disappeared in the outside world, and I want you to help me find her."
Little Qianye nodded, "Then I\'ll have to sleep a hundred years, yawn."
"Will that cause you much pain?" Fang Ren asked again.
"No, just sleepy. But at this time, why didn\'t the master join the battle of the chosen? Yawn," little Qianye replied, alternating questions and answers.
"I gave up my right. The urgent task at hand is for you to find some way to help me locate Liu Qianqian. Any later and she will be in more danger."
"No wonder I can\'t feel the scent of my homeland, it turns out the master gave up his right. But that\'s very much in your style, yawn," little Qianye seemingly had no objections to him giving up his right, then used its round arms to pluck a leaf from the top of the tree, crushed it, and threw it onto the tree trunk.
The next moment, a blue star map unfolded in the boundless void.
"I need her aura, yawn," little Qianye said.
Fang Ren immediately took out the wooden board Mu Huanqing gave him today, "This is perfect, she carved it herself. Although it\'s been a long time, there should still be traces of her aura on it, right?"
Little Qianye touched the wooden board, extracting a speck of light from it into the star map, where it started weaving through countless stars, finally stopping in the middle of a galaxy.
"Luan Xin Realm, Wen Yang Star..."
After speaking, little Qianye fell to sleep again, snoring this time.
Fang Ren patted its head, "You\'ve worked hard. I\'ll figure out a way to help you recover quickly."
Bai Qi, shocked by the entire process, said, "That\'s the location determined?"
Fang Ren looked at her, "What else?"
"Even Sister Zhu Yuan, that level of Immortal, couldn\'t do it. And our child just pinched a leaf and handled it?"
"... Yes."
Somehow, Fang Ren had resignedly accepted Bai Qi\'s reference to little Qianye as their child.
After the two of them left the void space, the sky above the sea remained the same as before, with not much time having passed.
"I never expected that to meet it when it\'s unaware, I must be with you to do so," Fang Ren sighed.
"After all, children are closer to their mothers, aren\'t they?" Bai Qi chuckled.
After some more chatter, Fang Ren took out his phone and called Mu Huanqing, sharing the news with her.
Relieved upon hearing the news, Mu Huanqing kept urging Fang Ren over the phone to quickly come and bring her back, to avoid any further danger in the outside world.
Fang Ren asked her if she wanted to join them, but Mu Huanqing hesitated for a while and declined, using her piled up work of the past few days as an excuse.
She didn\'t know what she would say to Liu Qianqian after seeing her; perhaps she might even make the other party more uncomfortable. She thought it was better not to go.
Latterly, Fang Ren called Sister Zhu Yuan and summoned her to the sea.
"The Luan Xin Realm? How did she end up so far away?"
Sister Zhu Yuan, upon hearing this, was somewhat perplexed. Liu Qianqian was just a mortal; how exactly did she manage to travel to another world that was so far from the Yuan Yuan Realm?
"Speaking of which, is the planet she\'s on dangerous?" Fang Ren asked.
"Wen Yang Star? That place is relatively harmonious. Although it also faces spatial anomalies, the two races there have not engaged in major conflicts and have opted for peaceful coexistence," Sister Zhu Yuan explained.
"That\'s good to hear. Let\'s hurry over, then."
"How about you take me with you?" Bai Qi suddenly spoke up.
"What would you do there?" Fang Ren was taken aback.
"I\'m also very concerned about her, and there are some things I\'d like to ask her too," Bai Qi explained.
"Then let\'s go together."
Sister Zhu Yuan didn\'t dawdle, grabbing both their arms and shooting out of Earth as a streak of light.
It was the first time for the two to fly out of Earth, and they were a bit shocked by the vast sea of stars, yet they were not mesmerized.
Because of Sister Zhu Yuan\'s incredible speed, they weren\'t able to see many beautiful galaxies clearly before they had already broken through the great barrier of the universe, arriving in another cosmos.
Hum—
A huge column of light descended upon a city on Wen Yang Star, causing the city\'s residents to freeze in shock, and the soldiers quickly rallied.
Once Sister Zhu Yuan landed, she said, "She really is here; I\'ve sensed the aura of that talisman she carries."
"So, where exactly is she?" Fang Ren asked.
Sister Zhu Yuan\'s Divine Sense swept out widely, responding, "Head north past three cities; in the fourth city, on one of the main streets, she\'s inside a small shop, seems like she\'s selling something."
"Alright, Sister Zhu Yuan, you go back first. I\'ll handle the rest, especially since the Void always needs you on guard. If the Void Beast Group happens to fall through there again, that would be the end of it," Fang Ren said.
Sister Zhu Yuan handed two talismans to Fang Ren: "When things are nearly settled, crush them, and they will bring you back to my side."
With those words, Sister Zhu Yuan turned into a beam of light and flew away.
Fang Ren and Bai Qi, left behind, saw the soldiers slowly approaching with spears and shields, so they had no choice but to promptly leap away from the city.
The nature\'s spiritual energy on Wen Yang Star was several times thinner than on Earth; it was probably difficult to even see a few practitioners there. Moreover, the civilization was like Earth\'s age of cold weapons – the soldiers were armed with spears and shields, and the clothes of the citizens on the streets reminded them of ancient Z Country on Earth.
The two flew over three cities and landed on a small street in the fourth city.
The moment they touched down, people in the street gawked at them as if they were witnessing immortals, murmuring constantly among themselves without daring to approach.
However, Fang Ren didn\'t understand their language.
Sister Zhu Yuan said Liu Qianqian was in a shop here, so Fang Ren and Bai Qi began a focused search in every store on the street.
Yet, after going back and forth, they had turned the street upside down and still hadn\'t found Liu Qianqian herself.
Twenty years had passed, and as a mortal, Liu Qianqian\'s appearance should have aged. However, she couldn\'t have aged to the point that Fang Ren couldn\'t recognize her.
Was Sister Zhu Yuan\'s perception wrong?
Fang Ren didn\'t want to believe it; she was an incredibly powerful immortal – how could she make such a basic error?
"Maybe we\'re attracting too much attention and she\'s hiding?" questioned Bai Qi.
"She shouldn\'t have any reason to hide from us, should she?" Fang Ren replied.
"Men are still men after all; they just don\'t understand women. And someone as oblivious as you, even after twenty years of marriage, it\'s a waste," Bai Qi said disdainfully.
"What did I do wrong now?"
"She left because she was hurt by you. Do you think she has no reason to hide from you?"
"..."
As they walked on, Fang Ren\'s eyes unintentionally drifted to a discreet spot inside a small shop.

There hung a wooden plank that would have gone unnoticed by an ordinary person, who wouldn\'t have been able to discern the carvings on it.
But he was a practitioner from the Xuanyang Realm, and he could see it very clearly.
He immediately turned his gaze towards the shop\'s entrance, where a middle-aged woman stood. Her figure was slender, but the face didn\'t resemble Liu Qianqian, no matter how one looked.
He then shifted his gaze to the items laid out on the woman\'s stall, which were some calligraphy, painting, and wooden tablets inscribed with characters.
Fang Ren paused for a moment and then turned to Bai Qi, saying, "Play along for a bit."
After that, he approached the woman\'s stall. Bai Qi, though slightly confused, promptly followed suit.
