Chapter 0722 City of Chaotic Moons

"I should have known it was you, you mischief-maker!" Qin Yun laughed.

Only Xiao Yuemei would be so mischievous, always getting into mischief like this.

"Brother, I was doing it for your own good! It was a test of your abilities, and it seems you're still not good enough! So easily spotted by me, even tracked down, and your speed can't match mine either!" Xiao Yuemei stuck out her tongue playfully, giggling.

Qin Yun pinched her cheek and scolded with a laugh, "Yuemei, the only reason you could track me is because of your Mirror Martial Soul! Otherwise, I would’ve shaken you off ages ago!"

Xiao Yuemei’s Mirror Martial Soul could sense the movement of other Martial Souls. With Qin Yun carrying so many Martial Souls, it was easy for her to detect him.

As Xiao Yuemei’s strength grew, she could sense Martial Souls from even farther away, which was how she managed to follow Qin Yun all this time.

"Brother, why were you in such a hurry to find me? As soon as I got the news, I rushed over! And I’ve been waiting outside the Celestial Arms Palace for you!" Xiao Yuemei said.

"You waited outside? Why didn’t you go in?" Qin Yun frowned. "You’ve helped the Manor Lord before—he should’ve invited you in!"

"I didn’t want people knowing we're connected! You're in real danger these days. If people found out, they might try to capture me to threaten you!" Xiao Yuemei suddenly lowered her voice. "Actually… I was afraid of running into Sister Bingxing. Because… because I feel guilty toward her!"

Qin Yun sighed softly and patted her head, smiling. "Yuemei, I’ve obtained new Divine Martial Souls!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuemei quickly took out her little mirror and held it up to Qin Yun’s abdomen.

Qin Yun promptly released his Divine Pain Martial Soul and Water Divine Martial Soul.

Soon, Xiao Yuemei’s little mirror detected the two new Divine Martial Souls. She bounced with excitement, shouting excitedly, "Brother, you’re amazing! You actually got the Divine Pain Martial Soul! Ha ha ha… I thought you only got the Water Divine Martial Soul!"

Seeing Xiao Yuemei’s joyful laughter, Qin Yun pinched her cheek again and grinned. "Yuemei, do you remember how I used your Mirror Martial Soul to create the Hong Lan Martial Soul?"

"Of course I remember!" Xiao Yuemei nodded repeatedly, then asked mysteriously, "Brother, you want to use my Mirror Martial Soul to replicate a Mystic Pattern Soul, don’t you?"

"Smart!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Alright! But it’s going to be difficult. Mystic Pattern Souls require a lot of spiritual energy—it might consume a huge amount of your Martial Souls!" Xiao Yuemei was quite knowledgeable about these souls.

"Don’t worry, I’ve collected tons of powerful Martial Souls!"

Qin Yun chuckled. Back at the Sword Immortal Manor’s plaza, he had gathered a large number of high-quality Martial Souls, all sealed within his Nether Sun Martial Soul.

"Brother, are you going to find Sister Yang? I want to come too, I want to come too!" Xiao Yuemei grabbed Qin Yun’s hand, jumping up and down, afraid he might leave her behind.

"Fine, since you’re so fast, I’ll take you with me!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Yes! Best brother ever!" Xiao Yuemei stood on her tiptoes and kissed Qin Yun’s cheek.

Qin Yun kissed her cheek in return, then pinched her adorable soft face again, teasing, "Yuemei, sending Little Meilian to infiltrate House Long was really dangerous! She’s not suited for that kind of thing. Next time, don’t drag her into your crazy plans!"

"I know! I even went to Moon Demon Island to find Little Meilian and apologize! She forgave me too—we’re good sisters, I’d never want to put her in harm’s way!"

"I originally… originally planned for her to cover for me for a while, but then something came up, and I couldn’t return in time…"

Xiao Yuemei sounded truly sorry as she spoke about it.

Qin Yun gently stroked her face and said, "Well, Little Meilian probably doesn’t like fighting, does she?"

Xiao Yuemei giggled. "Little Meilian, whether in her past life or now, has always been the same sweet and innocent girl—my precious little sister!"

"By the way, Yuemei, in your past life, did you ever hear of someone named Yao Fang?" Qin Yun asked as he took flight.

Xiao Yuemei followed beside Qin Yun, frowning in thought before shaking her head: "Never heard of her. What about her?"

"It’s nothing—just a woman from my dreams! She was cursed and said it was because of me..." Qin Yun told Xiao Yuemei about Yao Fang's situation after being cursed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuemei was also surprised: "Anyone cursed by the Demon Immortal Emperor can’t be ordinary! She must have been incredibly powerful. Even though you were strong in the Immortal Wasteland in your past life, you were still far inferior to the Demon Immortal Emperor!"

"I doubt you’d do something like that—must've just been a nightmare! You’ve been feeling guilty ever since spending so much time with Sister Bingxing, so that’s why you had such a dream. Don’t overthink it!"

Mentioning Bingxing, Qin Yun smiled faintly: "Bingxing and I are on good terms now. We even practiced the Sun and Moon Heart Sutra together!"

"Ah?" Xiao Yuemei seemed skeptical. "Bro, if that’s true, she must still care about you!"

Bingxing had taken advantage of Qin Yun, but he didn’t tell Xiao Yuemei, afraid she might spread it around.

"Yuemei, among the women I know, who else has a past life?" Qin Yun asked.

"There’s... there’s Auntie!" Xiao Yuemei said.

"Huh?" Qin Yun was shocked—he never expected Xiao Xuanqin to have a past life too.

"What was our relationship?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

"Well... it’s messy. She was your enemy! She was hunting you down everywhere! Because you scammed her out of a top-tier Celestial Artifact, and also... she was a famously beautiful fairy in the Immortal Wasteland, and you even stole her undergarments and sold them at auction for a fortune!" Xiao Yuemei giggled.

Qin Yun imagined the scene and understood why Xiao Xuanqin’s past self wanted to kill him.

"Brother, you weren’t some evil mastermind—just a troublemaker, always scheming, a total con artist!" Xiao Yuemei teased. "I stuck with you for a long time back then, so... heh!"

From Xiao Yuemei, Qin Yun seemed to catch a glimpse of his past self—she was always running around pulling scams herself.

"Yuemei, what important thing were you doing that made you suddenly have Little Meilian take your place?" Qin Yun asked.

"I heard there was a genius with a Spatial Martial Soul, so I rushed over. That guy was tough—took forever to scan his Martial Soul, and I took his Dao Artifact while I was at it," Xiao Yuemei said.

"A Spatial Martial Soul—that must be something good, right?" Qin Yun’s eyes lit up.

"Of course it’s good! Someone with this Martial Soul, combined with the right formations, can become a teleportation master, capable of traveling vast distances in an instant!" Xiao Yuemei laughed. "Now that I’ve got a Spatial Martial Soul, I can be a teleportation master too!"

"Classic you!" Qin Yun, still flying, couldn’t resist pinching her cheek.

Having Xiao Yuemei around made the trip way less boring, and Qin Yun also learned where she had been all these years.

Xiao Yuemei’s whole scam routine was just to scan more Martial Souls—it was second nature by now.

Not just Martial Souls—Divine Martial Souls, Strange Pattern Souls, even Red Mutant Souls—she hoarded them all.

"Hey Yuemei, I’ve got a Righteous Qi Martial Soul—you didn’t notice?" Qin Yun asked.

"Bro, you’ve got one of those? Why’d you keep it a secret!" Xiao Yuemei immediately stopped flying, hovering in mid-air.

Qin Yun halted as well, smiling. "I thought you would’ve noticed."

"Quick, let it out—this type of Martial Soul has to be outside to sense it!" Xiao Yuemei urged, her delicate hand trembled slightly as she clutched the mirror, barely containing her excitement.

Qin Yun let out a white wisp of Martial Soul energy.

Xiao Yuemei’s mirror gleamed with a white light. Once it was scanned, she grinned in triumph.

"Alright, let’s move!" Qin Yun urged.

After several days of swift flight, Qin Yun and Xiao Yuemei arrived at a city.

This massive city had no walls. From a distance, it appeared chaotic, with all sorts of flying objects and people in the air above.

In well-regulated major cities, airspace was strictly controlled, and flight was permitted only according to rules.

But in this lawless city, the lack of governance made everything seem disorderly.

"Brother, this city is the closest to the Darkmoon Mountain Range. It was once a renowned metropolis, but frequent internal conflicts left it in this state—though it has been rebuilt many times!" Xiao Yuemei was quite familiar with all kinds of things.

"Should we head straight into the Darkmoon Mountain Range or enter this Chaotic Moon City?" Qin Yun asked.

"Once the Blue Moon appears, I can use it to sense Sister Yang’s Black Moon Martial Spirit. Then we’ll be able to find her!" Xiao Yuemei explained. "If the Black Moon Martial Spirit is hidden, it’s very difficult to detect!"

Qin Yun nodded. "Then let’s enter this city first and ask around along the way."

Soon after, Xiao Yuemei and Qin Yun entered Chaotic Moon City.

They headed straight for the central district, which was more prosperous and appeared clean and orderly, unlike the outer areas.

Upon reaching the central area, Xiao Yuemei looked at a tall tower and said, "Brother, that’s the Runes Hall!"

Wherever there was a city, there was usually a Runes Hall. Generally, it was also one of the more high-end areas in a city.

"Why are we going to the Runes Hall?" Qin Yun frowned.

"To stay there, of course! Come on, follow me!" Xiao Yuemei said, dressed in black with a dark veil covering her face as she skipped toward the Runes Hall.

Qin Yun could only follow her.

Before long, Qin Yun followed Xiao Yuemei into the Runes Hall.

What happened next shocked him—Xiao Yuemei was about to pull a scam.

"Is your Grand Master here? I am Long Xiangyue from the Soaring Dragon Province, a Runes Master. This is my first visit, so I'd appreciate your guidance!" Xiao Yuemei spoke softly, her eyes shining with innocence.

To Qin Yun’s further surprise, Xiao Yuemei even took out a badge. On its front was the character "Mystic," while the back bore a slightly smaller "Intermediate."

In the Spirit Wasteland, badges varied slightly, but all proved one’s identity as a Runes Master.
