The next morning.

When Ye Yu got up feeling refreshed,

he happened to see Zhu Diezhen walking out of another room not far away.

If he remembered correctly,

this was the room where Lan Lianyan was staying.

Upon seeing this,

Ye Yu's face turned pale.

Zhu Diezhen and Lan Lianyan were definitely at odds.

The explosive scene from yesterday was still fresh in his memory.

And now,

Zhu Diezhen was coming out of Lan Lianyan's room.

Could it be that...

Thinking of that terrifying possibility,

Ye Yu hurriedly stepped forward.

He opened his mouth to ask, "Did you..."

But before he could finish his words,

Ye Yu found he couldn't continue.

Because he saw Lan Lianyan walking out of the room unscathed,

a faint smile on her face.

This left him utterly perplexed.

When had Zhu Diezhen and Lan Lianyan become close enough to share a room and smile at each other?

Was he hallucinating?

Seeing Ye Yu's astonished expression,

Zhu Diezhen couldn't help but laugh, "Hubby, what’s wrong with you?"

"That’s what I should be asking you!

How could you both be in the same room?"

Ye Yu voiced his confusion.

However, Zhu Diezhen playfully replied, "This is a secret between me and Fairy Lan.

You don’t need to know."

Upon hearing this,

the confusion on Ye Yu's face deepened.

Yet, Zhu Diezhen suddenly raised her hand to help Ye Yu adjust his clothes.

"Hubby, I received the thousand-year-old Qing Ancient Crystal you asked Wei Aosheng to send.

I came to the Eastern Sea Continent to find materials for refining tools.

Now that everything is ready,

I need to go back for a while to deliver the materials.

I believe it won't take long.

I will definitely be able to refine a magical tool that will satisfy you."

Ye Yu was astonished.

So this was the real reason Zhu Diezhen had come to the Eastern Sea Continent?

To find materials to forge a magical tool for him?

She had traveled all this way just for that,

which genuinely moved Ye Yu.

"Thank you!"

"You and I are husband and wife; there's no need to say such things.

Just remember to come find me after a while!"

Zhu Diezhen waved goodbye to Ye Yu.

Then she transformed into a streak of light,

vanishing from sight.

Ye Yu gazed in the direction Zhu Diezhen had left for a long time

before he returned his focus to Lan Lianyan beside him.

"What did you two talk about?"

"Didn’t Sister Zhu already say?

It's a secret!"

Lan Lianyan shook her head slightly.

But the confusion in Ye Yu's heart only grew stronger.

Wait, they hadn't seen each other for just one night,

and now they were calling each other sister?

Was Zhu Diezhen really that charming?

The more he thought about it,

the more curious Ye Yu became.

He continued to ask, "Seriously, what’s this secret all about?

What exactly are you two doing?"

Lan Lianyan smiled and took a step back.

Clearly, she had made her stance clear.

Not saying meant not saying!

Time rewound to last night.

When Lan Lianyan opened her door and saw Zhu Diezhen standing outside,

she was equally curious.

She couldn’t understand why Zhu Diezhen had suddenly come to visit.

But then Zhu Diezhen's words

left Lan Lianyan at a loss.

Zhu Diezhen stated that since they were all Ye Yu’s partners,

there was no need for them to be too tense with each other.

After all, they might end up seeing each other often.

In the end, they would have to coexist.

Moreover,

if they quarreled,

the one who would truly suffer would be Ye Yu.

Zhu Diezhen loved Ye Yu very much.

Naturally, she didn’t want to see him unhappy.

Thus,

Zhu Diezhen chose to accept Lan Lianyan

and was even willing to call her sister.

And most importantly,

after dawn,

Zhu Diezhen would temporarily leave.

After all,

she had more important things to do.

That was to refine a magical tool for Ye Yu.

The remaining time

could be left for Lan Lianyan!

After hearing Zhu Diezhen's explanation,

Lan Lianyan felt that Zhu Diezhen was sincere and thus lowered her guard.

In fact, she had long since accepted Zhu Diezhen’s presence.

It was just that she hadn’t voiced it.

As the saying goes, "You respect me a foot, and I respect you a mile."

Since Zhu Diezhen had taken the initiative to make peace,

how could Lan Lianyan not take the opportunity to agree?

Thus, her address for Zhu Diezhen changed to "Sister!"

The two of them then spent the night chatting about various topics in the room.

Ultimately,

Zhu Diezhen successfully pulled Lan Lianyan closer.

The team had transformed from two members to three.

Zhu Diezhen firmly believed that in such a situation,

as long as the sisters were united,

Ye Yu would never be completely taken away by other women!

That was why Zhu Diezhen felt so at ease leaving.

Two hours later,

by noon,

Su Yao finally stirred awake.

Yesterday, the time spent refining calligraphy had been too long,

which had greatly drained her stamina.

So naturally, she had indulged in sleep.

However, after waking up,

Su Yao also bid farewell to Ye Yu.

As the leader of the mermaid clan,

she bore heavy responsibilities.

Because of what happened in the dream, where Ye Yu had an extreme exchange with the nine-headed serpent, Yang Xiao,

Su Yao was left with a significant psychological shadow.

Thus, for safety’s sake,

Su Yao didn’t intend to let Ye Yu help her.

She even planned to conceal her actions and resolve everything on her own.

So she falsely claimed she was returning to the Lotus Flower Sect to cultivate.

Once she reached the Crossing Tribulation stage,

she would then go rescue the mermaid clan.

To this,

Ye Yu didn’t doubt her.

Currently,

he was at the mid-stage of the Harmonization Realm, and Su Yao was also at Harmonization.

In such circumstances,

even if he used all his means,

it would still be difficult to kill the Ascended nine-headed serpent, Yang Xiao.

Therefore, to be on the safe side,

he believed that at least reaching the Crossing Tribulation stage was necessary to have a chance of defeating Yang Xiao.

Ye Yu believed that with the help of the dream system,

this time wouldn’t take too long.

Ye Yu promised Su Yao

that he would go to the Lotus Flower Sect to find her in not too long.

He encouraged her to cultivate well within the sect

and not to be impatient.

Otherwise, if she developed a demonic heart, it would be troublesome.

As for the nine-headed serpent, she shouldn't worry too much.

Everything would be fine with him around!

Su Yao smiled brightly.

Her husband was still that husband,

always wanting to support her.

But the more it was like this,

the more Su Yao didn’t want Ye Yu to get involved.

At this moment, she had already made plans in her heart.

After saying goodbye to Ye Yu,

the enormous spiritual boat was left with only Ye Yu and Lan Lianyan.

Ye Yu slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.

Had the three-person melee finally come to an end?

That was good.

Ye Yu asked again, "Are you really not going to tell me what you and Zhu Diezhen talked about yesterday?"

"Actually, it was nothing much, just some idle chat between women,"

Lan Lianyan said as she stepped forward.

She held Ye Yu’s hand and softly said, "I’m a bit hungry again.

Can you make me something delicious?"

Ye Yu gently tapped Lan Lianyan’s forehead with his finger,

his eyes filled with affection.

"Of course!

But first, answer my question.

What’s the cultivation level of your sect leader from the Transforming Spirit Mountain?"

Upon hearing this,

Lan Lianyan looked puzzled, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Ye Yu smiled and said, "You’re my partner.

Currently, they’re hunting you.

Naturally, I need to go have a talk with them!"
