Really? The tiger was caught off guard since they have been searching all over the lands to no avail for so long now.

Li Qiye chuckled in response: Ive never lied to anyone before. If Ive made a deal, I will do it.

The dragon took a deep breath and bowed: Please guide us, that thing is very crucial to our two races.

The tiger saw this and did the same gesture: Please show us the right path, your grace will be as immense as Mount Tai.

The two of them were arrogant in the beginning since they came from the upper world. Plus, their status and power warranted this attitude.

However, after seeing Li Qiyes real ace cards, they finally realized how terrible the Dark Crow was. Even twelve-will emperors didnt dare to be reckless him, so it was appropriate for them to be respectful.

He waved his hand, signaling for them to sit back down: Dont worry, I will certainly tell you the way, but the result will depend on your own fortune.

Just showing us the way is already granting our races the greatest of fortune. The dragon quickly said. This beast was much more elegant and graceful compared to the fierce tiger.

Li Qiye continued on: There is only one item, so how are you two going to deal with this? Have you forgotten how you fought to the death in the past for something as well?

The two of them smiled wryly with embarrassment. A supreme treasure was the reason why they fell down to the nine worlds in the first place.

They exchanged glances and the tiger eventually spoke: Your Excellency, we do have an idea. Our two races want to groom one person - a supreme seed that can improve our races relationship and foster peace.

Thats a good idea. Li Qiye agreed: If your two races will stop killing each other, there will be a lot of room for growth.

These two races were blessed by heaven with great power. Alas, the long-running animosity and conflicts between them were a source of weakness. Their fame in the continent was not on the same level as their true abilities.

Alright, go prepare, well set off for it soon. Li Qiye ordered.

The two were too excited but they still remembered to bow once more before leaving.

Li Qiye sealed space and took out the yellow cloth. A slender figure quickly took form on it.

At this moment in time, the figure was more discernible than before. Prior to this, she looked more like a simple ink painting. Now, she was an exquisite work of art. This was a supreme beauty that would take away the light in the stars. Yu Qianxuan was certainly no match for her in terms in terms of looks. [1]

The reason why she was coming into form was due to the cloth being stored in the jade vase.

Hey, what do you think youre doing, ignoring me for so long?! The girl angrily inquired.

Li Qiye remained nonchalant towards her attitude and smiled: First, my name is Li Qiye, not hey, Ive told you this multiple times.

Well, you did not answer when I called your name! She retorted.

She has been trying to get his attention during the disaster at the academy but he kept the seal on her.

Sorry, I was preoccupied unlike you, but Im still letting you out right now. He smirked.

She took a deep breath to calm down despite his annoying smirk: This is the place we need to be!

Talking about this ancient world? Li Qiye didnt seem surprised.

I dont know what you all call it, but this wasnt its name before. This, this is the place that will allow me to see the sun again! The girl claimed.

If I remember correct, this place doesnt belong to your world or epoch. Its even older. Li Qiye rubbed his chin while musing.

I know. The girl said: Its not from our world but my father found it, he just didnt excavate it and left it exactly the same.

He had a sudden look of epiphany: Your father didnt excavate or change it, but he did leave behind something just in case, for example, his beloved daughter being plotted against by someone!

Hmph, stop trying to act cool, are you helping me or not?! The girl snorted.

Of course I am, who wouldnt be happy to listen to such a beauty? Im going to do my best, but Im still going to busy for a bit with some matters. He smiled happily and said.

The girl naturally knew that he was teasing her so she restrained herself from erupting: Dont forget that we have a deal.

I remember very clearly, but Im born to toil, please forgive me. He went on.

You! The girl trembled with rage but still exercised a level of control: What do you want?

She could easily read the guy right now.

He revealed his intention: Not much, I just want to hear more about this ancient world. Im sure you know a thing or two and were on the same side, know what I mean? Its time to spill.

The girl became quiet and didnt answer right away.

He continued: Dont worry, I will keep my word about helping you, but wait until Im no longer busy, Ill help so that you can see the sun once more.

Theres nothing to talk about. She finally uttered coldly.

He had to shrug and said: Looks like we arent sincere enough in this cooperation. I might not know everything but I do have a good grasp on this ancient world.

Li, do not push it! I dont want to talk not because of some secrets, but these matters should just be left alone. She sternly shouted.

I know that it has to do with the past. He looked at her and eventually nodded: Fine, I wont force the issue. We do have a deal so tell me what to do to help you.

His concession actually worked on her. She said slowly: I wont talk about this place but other stuff is fine.

I might be an asshole but I do not pry others business. Li Qiye assumed the appearance of a gentleman.

Please, no need for that, I know exactly what kind of person you are. The girl had a look of disdain: Why are you lingering around here? Dont tell me its for sightseeing or treasures. Hmph.

Oh, I guess were becoming close enough that you can know what Im thinking. He smiled and said.

Im not mistaken, you are finding the world that doesnt exist. She sneered.

A bit interesting. Let us assume that I am indeed looking for it, I think I know much more than you on this matter. He clapped and said.

The girl snorted: Really now? I havent been there but my father did and even established a dao lineage there, you still think you know more than me now?

Li Qiyes gaze became serious as he stood there silently.

Your turn to be surprised, hmm? The girl continued: If you really want to go, my information might be useful.

Indeed. He nodded: Well, you have told me so much and Im definitely biting your bait. Looks like I have to do my best to let you out then.

Thats more like it. She nodded satisfyingly.

Dont gloat now. Li Qiye shook his head: If I want to force information out of you, I have plenty of methods but I rather do it in a civil manner. Thats more beneficial.

The girl didnt like this comment but admitted that this was indeed the truth. She was the one asking for a favor, not him.

Why are you looking for it? She asked.

Then why did your father look for that world? To save his epoch? To find a safe place for his daughter? Of course, it certainly wasnt for his own sake since he chose to return. He revealed a faint smile.

The girl reflected about the past and eventually spoke softly: I dont know what he wanted but he wished for me to go there. Alas, my cultivation was limited, and wanted to fight with him to the end anyway.

Im sure he was strong enough to have ways of bringing you there. He said.

The girl nodded. Her father was immensely strong and there was nothing he couldnt do except escaping the disaster.

People need to learn to forget in order to survive. He added, knowing exactly why the little girl doesnt want to leave. It wasnt just because of her father, she still had attachments to others in this world.
