After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

This is why, when he was bound to the system on Demon Gathering Island, he rushed out of the island immediately after hearing of the protagonist's death.

One reason is to investigate the truth, since the death of the protagonist would be a catastrophic event.

Secondly, he was worried about the unknown system on his body. If he were still on the Demon Gathering Island, what if it issued a mission related to Bai Yan, asking him to kill Bai Yan?

Xiao Yu would never allow such a thing to happen. Rather than that, he would rather get away from Jumo Island and resolve the plot deviations outside first.

As it turned out, Xiao Yu seemed to have overthought things. He had been observing his system ever since he left the island, and it didn't seem to be as bad as he had imagined. On the contrary, it had been providing him with a lot of help on the way out of the island.

There are no mandatory tasks or penalties; they only pop up in certain so-called "plot" branches to make their presence known.

Faced with Long Wanyan's marriage proposal, Xiao Yu only hesitated for a few seconds before deciding that it was best to refuse.

Even if he agrees, it shouldn't be now; we should wait until he's resolved everything and sorted things out.

Therefore, getting married within a month is absolutely unacceptable!

Xiao Yu's eyes hardened. He looked at Long Wanyan and was about to speak when he noticed that Long Wanyan was silently staring at him. Her silver-white eyes were faintly tinged with pink, deep and profound, like a vicious dragon raising its head.

He was startled. At this moment, Long Wanyan spoke:

"Ye Ba, do you not want to marry me?"

The steady voice carried a hint of anger, making Xiao Yu feel like a fresh fish being roasted over a fire, his body covered in cold sweat.

Long Wanyan's eyes were deep and unfathomable. No matter how slow she was to understand, she should have sensed something from Xiao Yu's evasive and hesitant explanations.

The guy in front of her changed his mind. After hearing her requirements for a Daoist partner, he actually changed his mind.

She changed her mind...

Could it be that he only agreed to be my Daoist partner in the first place because he wanted to play around?

Just playing around...

Long Wanyan was a steady and composed person who hated men who would take advantage of her and then leave without taking responsibility.

Although it seems that this is not bad for her, after all, she also harbored a selfish desire to covet the essence of Taiyin when she married Xiao Yu.

But at this moment, I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

In a daze, the voice from that cave echoed in her mind again, as if bewitching her, "Why think so much?"

Instead of this, we should simply bind this person and take him back to the sect to imprison him, then cultivate him day and night to make him an excellent vessel for improving his cultivation, hoping that he will transform into a true dragon as soon as possible.

furnace/cauldron...

Zizzi~

Under Xiao Yu's shocked gaze, another wisp of white steam rose from Long Wanyan's head, like a whirring steam engine.

The situation is not good!

Long Wanyan's condition was very wrong, more than just wrong! The look in her eyes was as if she wanted to knock him unconscious and take him back to the sect to be imprisoned.

"Um... Senior, I think we should calm down before discussing marriage. You're acting very strangely right now!"

Something's wrong?

Long Wanyan raised her hand and touched her burning hot face. The hot breath hitting her palm made her feel irritated.

Indeed... she needs to calm down; she had even entertained the idea of ​​kidnapping Xiao Yu just now.

The bloodline within her body brought her tremendous enhancement, but it also had many drawbacks.

She needed to calm down right now, otherwise she didn't know what she might do in a moment. Her bloodline, strengthened by the true dragon's blood, was somewhat beyond Long Wanyan's control.

If Xiao Yu weren't here, things would be fine, but as soon as he was here, she couldn't help but overthink and couldn't calm down.

Thinking of this, Long Wanyan stared at Xiao Yu, her already red eyes revealing a hint of longing:

"The essence of Yin, I need the essence of Yin now, it is the best spiritual substance to neutralize the blood in my body."

"The essence of Taiyin?"

Upon hearing this, without much thought, Xiao Yu hurriedly summoned his crystal-clear flying sword.

A snow-white flying sword appeared in the room, and instantly the heat in the room subsided considerably.

Incidentally, Xiao Yu was also able to catch his breath.

Is it the essence of Taiyin?

It's not night yet, so Xiao Yu can't extract it directly from the moonlight. Fortunately, there are quite a few flying swords left.

Judging from Long Wanyan's expression, he should have taken it out the moment he entered the room.

Before Xiao Yu could extract the moonlight hidden within the flying sword, a hot, delicate body suddenly pounced on him roughly.

The translucent flying sword flew far away from his hand, and Xiao Yu was once again pinned down by Long Wanyan.

The flying sword, imbued with the essence of Yin, flew far away, but Long Wanyan's attention was elsewhere; her eyes were fixed on Xiao Yu.

In fact, logically speaking, Xiao Yu, who cultivates with moonlight as his spiritual energy, possesses a much greater amount of Yin essence than anything else in the flying sword.

Based on the principle that the more the better, it's not surprising that Long Wanyan rushed towards Xiao Yu first.

Upon realizing what had happened, Xiao Yu was instantly drenched in sweat.

broken!

He's become Long Wanyan's target!

At this moment, outside the inn of the Qingyun Floating Sect, a girl in yellow walked in with joyful steps, skipping and hopping.

Chapter 73, There is a mutual attraction between natal sword cultivators.

Hmph~ Hmph~

The girl in the yellow dress was in a unusually good mood today.

The main thing is that I have successfully transitioned from a nominal disciple to a formal disciple, which is something to celebrate.

Now that she has just returned from Wanbaoge, and since she has become a formal disciple, according to the rules, as her master, Long Wanyan should give the girl in yellow a spiritual artifact as a gift.

However, since the sword-nurturing gourd that was originally intended to be given to Xiao Yu had already been given, and there was nothing else to prepare in the rush, she could only give him spirit stones so that he could choose one from the Wanbao Pavilion himself.

The girl in yellow had no objections; the important thing was that she had officially become Long Wanyan's apprentice.

That's the main point.

Now she is the personal disciple of the Qingyun Floating Sect Master, and her treatment and status are far higher than before.

Upon entering the inn, the girl in yellow noticed something was amiss; the disciples were all unusually quiet today, a silence that hinted at something strange.

What the hell is going on?!

Could it be that the eldest sister got up, was still half asleep, and just put on a coat before coming out?

There was no one on the first floor. When they climbed to the second floor, they found a group of disciples gathered together, holding their breath and pricking up their ears as if they were eavesdropping on something.

"What...what are you doing?!"

Swish!

When the group turned around and saw that it was the girl in yellow, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out she's the sect leader's newly accepted junior sister. If the senior sister were here, this gossip wouldn't be possible.

"nothing……"

"Yes! It's nothing..."

The disciples who had gathered together shook their heads, then listened intently to what was happening above.

I couldn't help it, I was just too curious.

A man actually went to the sect leader with his personal jade pendant!

It should be noted that the sect leader has never had any scandals with men, let alone been alone with a man and a woman in a room.

And what we're seeing now... is truly astonishing, especially considering the man is only a Core Formation cultivator.

Gossiping is always a primary motivation for people, and even cultivators cannot avoid it.

This involves their own sect leader, so these disciples are taking it very seriously.

But... after listening for a while, apart from a few muffled thuds when I first entered, there was no other sound.

This inn is quite well soundproofed.

The girl in yellow had some questions, so she asked one of her senior sisters for advice.

She quickly understood the whole story.

A man arrived at the door carrying his master's personal jade pendant, suggesting a close relationship with his master.

The two are currently in a room on the third floor, a lone man and woman, talking about something.

"Perhaps it's a descendant of some acquaintance who came to talk to Master."

The girl in yellow didn't quite believe the disciples' guesses. Instead, she thought about it herself and came up with a conjecture that she felt made sense.

"No, if that were the case, we wouldn't be so curious. But have you forgotten that the sect leader forbade some unimportant people from visiting and paying respects before?"

She even specifically instructed that if anyone brought her personal jade pendant, they should be allowed to pass.

There must be something earth-shattering hidden here. I think the fact that the sect leader arrived at the secret realm more than a month late is probably related to this.

As she spoke, the senior sister's eyes gleamed, as if she couldn't wait to climb to the third floor and press her ear against the crack in the door to listen carefully.

Unfortunately, the third floor is where the sect leader resides, and apart from the sect leader's personal disciples, these disciples cannot set foot there at will.

"........."

The girl in yellow felt a little embarrassed. Was that really the case?

She simply couldn't imagine that her proud and aloof master would do such a thing.

She felt it was unlikely, but since there were people in her master's room, she would go up and report to him later.
