The sky gradually darkened.

Ye Yu and Su Yao's calligraphy practice finally came to an end.

The two embraced tightly.

Ye Yu finally asked what was on his mind.

“Sister, why did you pretend not to recognize me just now?”

“Even if we recognize each other, what then?

Who is the first partner?

Do you think I would willingly take a backseat to others?”

Su Yao's words made Ye Yu's expression grow serious.

Did his sister want to vie for precedence?

But strictly speaking,

Zhu Diezhen was undoubtedly the first lady.

And Su Yao’s rank was quite low.

What should he do?

Seeing Ye Yu's dilemma,

Su Yao couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m just teasing you, silly junior弟子. When have I ever competed for such things?”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Yu's brows relaxed a little.

If it were truly a competition for rank, it would indeed be quite troublesome.

Su Yao lifted her hand to gently stroke Ye Yu's cheek,

continuing, “Junior弟子, being able to meet you again,

I am already very content.

Don’t worry, I won’t compete.

Titles mean nothing to me.

As long as you’re alive, that’s all that matters.”

These words were spoken with utmost seriousness.

Her eyes even glimmered with a hint of redness.

In the dream,

Ye Yu’s mutual destruction with the nine-headed flood dragon, Yang Xiao,

had left Su Yao unable to accept it.

Now,

to be able to meet again

felt like a blessing from the heavens to Su Yao.

She wouldn’t dare to wish for more.

Ye Yu embraced Su Yao.

Then he explained the concept of parallel worlds.

He also informed Su Yao that Zhu Diezhen was also a partner in the parallel world.

After listening,

Su Yao felt quite astonished.

Though she didn’t fully understand what a parallel world meant,

she could tell that reality and parallel worlds were two different concepts.

What surprised her even more was

that Zhu Diezhen and she were essentially the same.

Thus, Su Yao thought of another matter.

“Junior弟子, how many parallel worlds do you have?

And how many partners?”

Ye Yu's face stiffened.

Feigning calm, he said, “Uh, Sister, that’s not important.”

To prevent Su Yao from getting too tangled up in this matter,

Ye Yu quickly turned the topic, “Sister, if I’m not mistaken, you have the Sea Conqueror Trident, right?”

Upon hearing this,

Su Yao nodded seriously.

Then she took out the Sea Conqueror Trident.

It was precisely because of this item

that Ye Yu and the merfolk had attracted a calamity.

This was also the reason why Su Yao wanted to obtain the Guardian Demon Black Sand.

She aimed to use the unique properties of the Guardian Demon Black Sand

to temporarily conceal the aura of the Sea Conqueror Trident.

This way,

it wouldn’t be detected by Yang Xiao for the time being.

In a few hundred years, when her strength was sufficient,

Su Yao would wield the Sea Conqueror Trident and start slaughtering flood dragons again!

What could be done in parallel worlds,

she could certainly do in reality as well.

At that time, she would definitely take down Yang Xiao,

thoroughly eliminating any future worries.

Ye Yu stared at the Sea Conqueror Trident for a long time, but he didn’t find anything particularly special about it.

However, according to the system's hints,

this was merely a sealed version.

What form would it take if the seal were broken?

After studying it for a moment,

Ye Yu returned the Sea Conqueror Trident to Su Yao.

“Sister, the characters from the parallel world also exist in reality.

So, you must be cautious.

After some time, when I have enough strength,

I will help you eliminate the nine-headed flood dragon, Yang Xiao!”

“No, I won’t allow you to interfere in this matter again.”

Su Yao immediately rejected Ye Yu.

The events from the dream

had already left her with psychological scars.

Thus,

this time in reality,

Su Yao absolutely would not allow Ye Yu to take risks.

Killing Yang Xiao

would be her responsibility.

Just as Ye Yu and Su Yao were arguing,

a sudden knocking sound came from outside.

Followed by Zhu Diezhen’s voice.

“Su Yao, are you in there? I heard your voice!”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Yu and Su Yao exchanged glances.

They had been writing too much calligraphy and had almost forgotten.

Zhu Diezhen was also here.

Wait, she heard the voice?

Ye Yu asked through voice transmission, “Did you not set up a soundproof barrier?”

“N-no, I was too anxious just now…”

Su Yao said, her face filled with embarrassment.

She then raised her hand to signal Ye Yu to remain silent.

Ye Yu nodded repeatedly.

It wasn't that Ye Yu couldn't use wall-passing techniques,

but in front of someone in the Tribulation Realm,

even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual energy

would be detected.

If Ye Yu used spiritual power,

he would definitely be exposed.

So he could only place all hope on Su Yao.

After taking a few deep breaths,

Su Yao felt as if she was being blocked by the rightful wife at the door.

But at this moment, she absolutely couldn’t panic!

After calming herself briefly,

Su Yao immediately opened the door and stepped out.

“What’s up? Did I take too long in the bath?”

Seeing Su Yao,

Zhu Diezhen hurriedly asked, “Have you seen my husband? I can’t find him right now.”

After Zhu Diezhen finished bathing and changing,

she had been unable to find Ye Yu.

Every room on this spirit vessel was equipped with barriers to block spiritual perception.

Left with no choice,

Zhu Diezhen had to search one by one.

Among the hundreds of rooms,

it had truly been a struggle for her to find him.

Now, Zhu Diezhen was even beginning to dislike this spirit vessel.

It was too big.

Finding someone was really inconvenient!

Su Yao squeezed out a smile.

“I haven’t seen him.

How could you not find him?”

“It’s true! After I finished bathing, he disappeared!”

Zhu Diezhen felt like crying without tears.

Su Yao softly said, “Maybe he went to attend to other matters.

You can return to your room and wait.

He might be preparing some gifts for you.

Once he’s ready, he’ll naturally come find you.”

Upon hearing this,

Zhu Diezhen’s eyes sparkled.

“Really?”

“I guess it’s like that. After all, he can’t run away with the spirit vessel here!

If I were you, I’d hurry back to your room so he doesn’t have trouble finding you later!”

Su Yao provided another assist.

Zhu Diezhen, not thinking too much, immediately returned to her room,

waiting happily for Ye Yu’s arrival.

After she left,

Ye Yu emerged from the room.

He took Su Yao's hand.

“I suddenly feel a bit regretful. Why don’t we just tell her the truth directly?”

Su Yao shook her head, “Let’s wait a moment. There’s no rush.

And besides, it’s more thrilling to keep it secret.”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

He never expected his sister would say such a thing.

It was indeed thrilling.

Thus, before he left,

he earnestly dropped a line.

“Behave and wait for me in the room. I’ll come find you later tonight!

Secretly!”

On the other side,

after Zhu Diezhen had waited in her room for a moment,

she suddenly furrowed her brows.

Just now, Su Yao’s face had been flushed.

It didn’t seem like traces of having bathed!

It looked more like...

Before Zhu Diezhen could think too much,

Ye Yu arrived at her room door.

“I had something to do just now. How about you? Did you bathe well?”

Zhu Diezhen nodded vigorously.

Then she pulled Ye Yu into the room.

Carefully setting up two soundproof barriers!

This familiar action seemed to have just been seen?

No way?

No way?

Zhu Diezhen tightly gripped the robe she was wearing.

Summoning all her courage, she said, “Husband, I want to show you something.

I hope you will like it.”

Just as Zhu Diezhen was about to pull open her robe to showcase the latest creation from the He Huan Sect,

the spirit vessel suddenly began to shake violently.

It seemed they were under attack.
