Chapter 813: Chapter 813: Raising You Like a Fish~

Yunmeng Marsh, Winding Water Pavilion.

Yun Li nibbled on a fruit, watching with a leisurely gaze as Yunze fed those ridiculously thin fish. A single drop of fish food hitting the water sent a swarm of spirit fish into a frenzy, tearing at each other.

Even though Master didn’t hold private lessons, just being with those shrewd senior brothers and sisters made daily life a trial.

One glance at this scene, and Yun Li understood that Yunze before him had some psychological issues. At the very least, the kindness on his face couldn’t be taken seriously.

When dealing with someone psychologically troubled, playing dumb might actually be effective.

After all, no one really insists on arguing with a fool.

Yun Li had neither the mind nor the interest to figure out which wire in the Teng Snake’s brain was crossed.

Yunze scattered another handful of fish food, then turned his gaze back to Yun Li, who was still eating fruit.

After receiving Bai Xuanling’s message, Sect Master Chu simply dumped Yun Li in Yunmeng Marsh, leaving only one sentence: "Think it over carefully. If you agree, bring Yun Li along. If you disagree, have Yunmeng Pavilion send him back to Tianyan Sect."

As for Sect Master Chu himself, he was too busy saving the world to stay.

This was naturally good for Yunze—at least with Chu Xingchen absent, he wouldn’t be so timid about refusing.

Yunze looked at Yun Li, who had been eating fruit the whole way, and asked gently:

"These fruits are unique to Yunmeng Marsh. If you like them, I can prepare more for you to take back to Tianyan Sect."

Yun Li glanced at Yunze, then tossed the half-eaten fruit directly into the pond.

A group of famished spirit fish devoured the flesh in moments, and many even started gnawing on the pit.

Yun Li watched the scene before him and said calmly:

"Rather than me, you’d better feed the fish more. If Third Senior Sister sees you raising fish like this, she might just raise you like a fish."

Yunze’s face stiffened slightly. The insult in those words was rather extreme for him.

What did he mean by "raise you like a fish"?

Even if he was Chu Xingchen’s disciple, those words were far too arrogant.

Yun Li looked at the stiff smile on Yunze’s face and said calmly:

"Senior Brother Cui is skilled at raising fish. He seems to be working with Zheng Zhaoling at Yunmeng Pavilion now. He might have a chance to come here, and you can ask him for advice then."

"Is that so? If there’s a chance, certainly." Yunze breathed softly a few times, inwardly cursing that Yun Li seemed honest on the surface but was actually putting pressure on him behind the scenes.

What did he mean by "Senior Brother Cui working with Zheng Zhaoling"?

This was clearly telling him that Yunmeng Pavilion now had to follow their lead—whether Yunmeng Marsh liked it or not.

Yunze pinched more fish food and asked tentatively again:

"Actually, I’m also tempted by the matter Sect Master Chu discussed. But since it’s such a major decision, it’s better to know the details. My true form is a Teng Snake. I wonder what your true form is?"

Yun Li reached out to grab the extra fish food placed nearby:

"Dragon."

"Huh?"

"Dragon."

"What did you say? Did I miss something?"

"I said I’m a dragon."

Yunze didn’t ask further, only quietly making up half his mind.

"In the Divine Sea inheritance, I saw myself roaming the divine continent, commanding wind and rain, battling demons in blood, finally gravely wounded, knowing death was inevitable. So I manipulated my own spiritual essence to scatter, blessings flowing outward, trying to leave nothing in the demons’ hands. In the end, with one final breath, I burned my own essence blood, crossing ten thousand zhang, traveling through space, until I reached Northern Julu Continent, where I then died."

"The day the blessings scattered was not the true dragon’s death."

Yun Li raised his eyes slightly, calmly gazing at the dumbfounded Yunze, the power of his bloodline faintly emanating.

Listening to these words and feeling the extremely pure bloodline from Yun Li, Yunze’s knees suddenly went weak.

What was this? Was the ancestor resurrected?

Real or fake?

Yun Li smiled faintly and continued:

"My Divine Sea inheritance memories are so clear, I must be the legendary true Divine Dragon descendant. Before, I thought I was just an unknown species of green snake. Now it seems laughable—clearly, I’m a peerless Azure Dragon."

Hearing these words, Yunze felt his knees instantly recover.

At the same time, he became even more certain—the green snake before him had something wrong with his head.

Yunze flattered him: "Then you truly have an extraordinary identity, truly admirable."

Yun Li smiled and nodded, scattering handfuls of fish food:

"Your bloodline aura is too weak. Without a True Source bloodline like mine, your aptitude isn’t exceptional. The spiritual energy here can’t compare to Central Continent. Actually, your cultivation should have advanced further long ago. It’s just a pity you’re reluctant to give up this or that, ending up with nothing and wasting your cultivation."

Yunze gripped the fish food, trying his best to keep his tone gentle:

"Your guidance?"

"No guidance." Yun Li finished scattering all the fish food nearby, then smiled and said, "The Sect Master says everything anyone does has its reason, whether it’s a good deed or a foolish one."

"After all, no one works hard just to make their own life more difficult. There’s always something to gain."

"What you’re doing might seem unwise in my eyes, but in your heart, perhaps this is the only correct path."

Yunze looked at Yun Li, who wavered between wisdom and foolishness, and after thinking replied:

"Senior Chu is indeed extraordinarily wise, truly admirable."

Yun Li nodded and said: "Arrange a place for me to cultivate. As for my proposal, just think it over. But if you’re going to refuse, please do so early. The spiritual energy here is ridiculously sparse compared to Tianyan Sect. Cultivating here would truly hold me back."

"It’s rare for you to come to Yunmeng Marsh. Don’t you want to look around? See some scenery?"

"I only want to see the peerless beauty at the forefront of the Great Dao." Yun Li glanced at the fish no longer fighting frantically for food.

After speaking, Yun Li turned his gaze to Yunze.

After all, he wasn’t from the sect. Although he seemed smart, a few conversations revealed no pressure—nothing like Third Senior Sister who could make you obediently listen to her scolding in just three sentences.

Yun Li spent much time in seclusion, constantly analyzing the contents of the Divine Sea inheritance during cultivation.

Those experiences felt as if he had lived them himself.

Although he hadn’t experienced much, analyzing the Divine Sea inheritance had indirectly given him the experience of trials.

At least now Yun Li could understand which words beneath Third Senior Sister’s gentle tone were truly preparing to anger, and which were genuine praise.

Of course, that was all. The things he had handled in Southern Zhanbu Continent before were still only half-understood when he reviewed them now.

One could only say that Eldest Senior Sister had never intended for him to handle matters properly from the start.

Yun Li recalled Third Senior Sister’s occasional guidance, then looking at the hesitant Yunze, chose to add:

"After all, I don’t want to be one of these fish fighting for food, having to depend on someone else’s mood whether I’m full or not."
