After a long while, Ye Yu finally managed to subdue Liang Yu, who had been trying to use force.

Neither of them used spiritual power.

It felt more like a playful scuffle between lovers.

Liang Yu, however, seemed to enjoy it immensely.

To persuade her to leave, Ye Yu promised.

Once Liang Yu reached the Tribulation Crossing Realm, he would seriously consider whether to be with her.

Upon receiving this promise, Liang Yu finally agreed to leave.

But before she went, she left two red marks on Ye Yu’s left cheek.

There was no helping it.

She had never liked being outdone since childhood.

If Ruan Lianyue dared to leave one mark, she would dare to leave two.

Seeing the exclusive marks of victory on Ye Yu’s face, Liang Yu happily walked out of the room.

She knew very well in her heart, things taken to extremes will reverse themselves.

Constantly clinging to Ye Yu might make him resent her.

It was better to get a promise from him.

As for reaching the Tribulation Crossing Realm, it might be difficult for others.

But who is Liang Yu?

In the dream realm, she had cultivated to become an immortal in the Heavenly Realm.

To her, the Tribulation Crossing Realm was incredibly easy.

At the current pace, success was guaranteed within a month.

By then, Ye Yu would still be within her grasp.

Yun Roumu waited outside.

Watching Ruan Liang Yue and Liang Yu, the two “major rivals,” leave one after another, her heart leaped with joy.

Did this mean that junior brother had rejected them and finally chosen her?

However, if that were truly the case, why did those two leave with smiles on their faces?

With this question in mind, Yun Roumu softly asked, “Junior brother, may I come in?”

“No!”

The firm voice from inside the room made Yun Roumu feel quite dejected.

Yet, moments later, the door creaked open slightly.

Yun Roumu’s spirits lifted again. Could it be that junior brother had changed his mind?

The next moment, a jade pendant was thrown out, and the door closed tightly again.

“This is a Concealment Pendant, which can hide your demonic aura. Hold on to it carefully, and I’ll take you back to the sect.”

Looking at the jade pendant in her hand, Yun Roumu couldn’t help but purse her lips. A hint of grievance rose in her heart.

…

After a day and night of flying, the spirit boat successfully returned to Azure Cloud Sect.

Ye Yu finally let out a sigh of relief.

He then stopped it above Wuzhi Peak, instructing Yun Roumu to wait inside his room.

He prepared to personally fetch Sect Master Luo Ze.

After all, it was best if others didn’t know about Yun Roumu being a half-demon.

Before he left, Yun Roumu softly said, “Junior brother, when we were in the Forest of Creation and coming back from the Great Qian Dynasty….”

“The one who saved me was you, right?”

Ye Yu didn’t confirm, but asked instead, “Why do you think so?”

“Look at this, does it look human-like?”

Yun Roumu took out the long-preserved painting scroll from her storage ring.

The figure in the painting was indeed quite ugly.

After a light laugh, Yun Roumu asked seriously, “So, junior brother, will you still protect me like before?”

“I will protect you from now on. As for what happened before, I don’t know.”

Ye Yu lightly tapped his toes, and flew away from the spirit boat.

A gentle breeze brushed by.

Standing in place, Yun Roumu’s smile bloomed like a flower.

However, she was curious about one thing.

Back in the Forest of Creation, she clearly heard the wails of vengeful spirits.

What was that about?

Could it be that junior brother is a demonic cultivator?

As soon as this thought arose, Yun Roumu immediately dismissed it.

Junior brother is so kind, how could he possibly be a demonic cultivator?

Those wails must have been caused by the Blood Demon Sect’s cultivators.

That’s right.

It must be like that.

Just as Yun Roumu turned around, she suddenly noticed a figure rapidly boarding the spirit boat.

Seeing this, she was startled, quickly grabbing her cloak to cover herself.

Although the Concealment Pendant could hide her demonic aura, it couldn’t eliminate her demonic features.

The two butterfly wings on her back were quite conspicuous!

But what Yun Roumu didn’t expect was that the newcomer didn’t even glance at her.

Instead, she proceeded directly to Ye Yu’s room, sitting cross-legged and breathing heavily.

Witnessing this strange scene, Yun Roumu grew very curious.

So she quietly moved closer.

To her surprise, she discovered it was the second disciple of Wuzhi Peak, Xie Muling.

At this moment, she seemed completely immersed in her own world. Eyes tightly closed, her expression ecstatic.

As if she was savoring something.

Yun Roumu couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

Why was Xie Muling like this?

…

In the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall.

Sect Master Luo Ze paced back and forth.

Seven days.

It had been a full seven days since Yun Roumu left the Azure Cloud Sect.

In such a long time, so many things could happen.

Luo Ze was genuinely afraid that one day, Yun Roumu would return with a bulging belly.

While Ye Yu stood by with a wicked smile. Amusedly telling him: the child is on the way, and there’s no turning back.

Old man, there are some things you can’t stop!

Every time Luo Ze thought of this, he would be so angry it made his chest ache.

Don’t say such things couldn’t possibly happen.

As the saying goes, men understand men best.

If the two had a chance to be alone together, how could one expect a man to restrain himself?

Only in dreams!

The more Luo Ze thought about it, the more anxious he became.

But unfortunately, the people sent to find Yun Roumu had still not reported back.

This was making Luo Ze anxious.

No, he couldn’t wait any longer.

Just as Luo Ze was preparing to go out personally to search for Yun Roumu, he encountered Ye Yu.

This sudden appearance startled Luo Ze.

Then he looked at Ye Yu, who was alone, and glanced outside, seeing no sign of Yun Roumu.

Luo Ze’s heart leaped with joy, and his face broke into a brilliant smile.

“Nephew Ye, you’re back alone?”

“I already know about the Baizhang Dao incident. It’s fine if you didn’t find the Dark Abyss Flowers. It’s okay. You should go back and rest first.”

Luo Ze’s worries were dispelled.

As long as Ye Yu came back alone, perhaps it meant he had been overthinking.

Maybe Ye Yu and Yun Roumu hadn’t ended up together.

This would be a huge relief for Luo Ze.

Ye Yu took out two hundred Dark Abyss Flowers he had obtained from Bu Xiaoyun, and placed them in front of Luo Ze.

“Sect Master, I’ve fulfilled the mission. I obtained the two hundred Dark Abyss Flowers from another source.”

Luo Ze looked down and was immediately surprised.

The Dark Abyss Flowers were of high value. And due to the rarity, they were extremely precious.

He hadn’t expected Ye Yu to procure so many from elsewhere.

Very good, very good.

He truly lived up to being Senior Sister’s disciple.

Just as Luo Ze was about to praise Ye Yu with a smile, his next words instantly dropped Luo Ze’s heart back to the abyss.

“Sect Master, I returned with Senior Sister Yun Roumu. She’s currently at Wuzhi Peak.”

“She has some health issues. So I came to ask you to come with me.”

Health issues?

Could it be that the worst-case scenario had really come true?

Had Yun Roumu become pregnant with Ye Yu’s child?

Luo Ze swayed, nearly collapsing.

Seeing this, Ye Yu quickly stepped forward to support him.

“Sect Master, what’s wrong?”

Luo Ze shook his head slightly.

He took out a high-grade magic sword from his storage ring.

He said to Ye Yu, “Come on, don’t run. Today, one of us has to die!”
