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

Long Wanyan was momentarily stunned by Li Yunshang's appearance, but... why wasn't she dressed properly? Why was she sitting on the floor, and why was she looking at her with such a strange expression?

He was probably startled by the complex emotions contained in the girl's eyes.

Long Wanyan, who hadn't originally intended to speak, finally spoke:

"I'm sorry for the trouble. He didn't do it on purpose. I'll cover the cost of the damaged window, so you don't need to worry."

The sound came through the hole in the window, and the girl inside the room could hear it clearly. Long Wanyan's tone was humble, not because she was in a high position and therefore arrogant and rude to others, especially since the current trouble was caused by her.

But... in Li Yunshang's eyes, this woman was repulsive, and what did he mean by saying he didn't do it on purpose?

What's with that tone you're using to apologize to others when your own family makes a mistake?

Are you close to Senior Brother Yu?

I've known him for much longer than you have.

He is mine...

Feeling resentful that someone had beaten her to it, Li Yunshang originally wanted to coldly retort like this.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, her expression changed, and she stammered, "..."

"What's your relationship with him? Who is he to you?"

Li Yunshang's voice was weak, like a traveler teetering on the edge of a cliff, pitifully pleading for confirmation.

Although the sound was soft, Long Wanyan, who was already at the Nascent Soul stage, heard it clearly.

"He... is a very important person to me, after all, we've already decided to get married."

For some reason, considering her influence as the sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong, she should keep it a secret.

But facing this girl, for some reason, he felt a sense of hostility, as if he had encountered a hunter of equal status. In order to protect his prey, he blurted out his words without thinking, as if asserting his dominance.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunshang was stunned. Long Wanyan's words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and her mind went blank.

At this moment, her bright face was covered in gray and white, like a black and white painting.

marry……

how come.

Chapter 82, Long Wanyan's Determination and the Temporarily Defeated Dog

Long Wanyan closed the window. The girl's face turned ashen for some reason, as if she had lost her mind. She figured that if they continued talking, there would be no response.

It's just that the room was messed up and there's a big hole in the window, it's not like they stole anything from you, that kind of expression...

She was puzzled. The girl's disheveled appearance was heartbreaking, like a defeated dog. She returned to the table in her room.

Just then, a lazy voice rang out:

"What? What happened? You went to close a window, and you're only coming back now."

"No...nothing."

Speaking of which, Long Wanyan had a vague impression of the girl next door who had reached the Core Formation Realm. She seemed to be the daughter of the Xuanling Sect Master, who had caused quite a stir before.

She herself is nothing special, but her mother—the sect leader of the Xuanling Sect—is a legendary figure, and her master speaks highly of her.

Apart from this one, even the entire Xuanling Sect wouldn't matter to Long Wanyan. After all, it's just a second-rate sect that started late, lacks foundation, and is unlikely to amount to much, especially at this critical juncture.

Therefore, there's nothing to say to Xiangyue about the strange girl at the inn next door.

She didn't talk to Xiangyue about these trivial things.

Coming to her senses, Long Wanyan glanced at the brand-new Xuan Guang Mirror on the table. The bronze-colored mirror rippled, and she could clearly see the appearance of the female cultivator she was talking to on the other end, as well as the scenery beside her.

Judging from the rapidly receding scenery around her, she was probably rushing here on her sword, seemingly determined to come and check on the situation.

Thinking about her recent actions, Long Wanyan sighed deeply for no apparent reason.

"What are you sighing about? Still worried about that guy?! I told you it's nothing. To be honest, it's unusual that you've contacted me twice in such a short period of time. It seems that this Ye Ba guy has been giving you a real headache lately!"

The sound of the mirror on the table rang out again, unlike the previous mirror that had been smashed to pieces by the embarrassed Long Wanyan.

This is the one Long Wanyan just took out of her storage bag; you can't just have one communication artifact when you're out and about.

"But... Ye Ba was scared away. Could it be that I really did something wrong?"

Following this topic, Long Wanyan continued the conversation, expressing her current concerns and asking the strategist on the other side of the mirror for advice.

"No, no, no, you did the right thing, but you were a little too hasty. It's hard for a man to resist a woman who takes the initiative, but the premise is that you are familiar with her enough. You and that Ye Ba have only known each other for a few days."

"He brought up marriage right off the bat. It's a good thing he agreed to be your Daoist partner. If it were me, I would have run away the moment you mentioned marriage. That puts too much pressure on him. Put yourself in his shoes; if Ye Ba were the one proposing marriage, would you agree?"

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Long Wanyan nodded earnestly, even looking at herself through the mirror with a hint of eager anticipation.

"..."

"I already said I was trying to put myself in his shoes, my dear sister! It seems you're really infatuated with that Ye Ba guy! So eager to get married, could it be that you're in a rush to do 'that'?"

On the other side of the mirror, Shu Xiangyue, Long Wanyan's friend, covered her face and couldn't help but tease her.

Long Wanyan is good in every way, except that she is sometimes too serious. Her father, who was the previous sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong, made Long Wanyan the sect leader so early to train her mentality.

In matters concerning their Daoist partners, they are very controlling, wishing they could keep their partners tied to them at all times.

"No...no, I just wanted to take responsibility, and a little bit of Yin essence can help my cultivation...that's why..."

For some reason, to prevent her friend from misunderstanding, Long Wanyan hurriedly explained, but her stuttering tone and awkward posture seemed to indicate something was wrong. Clearly, Long Wanyan had also realized something, and her body temperature was starting to rise again.

Seeing this, Shu Xiangyue, who was flying on her sword, slammed on the brakes, almost falling off. She steadied herself, her face filled with disbelief, and exclaimed, "It's only been a few days... Wanyan, you've become so lewd! Hmm~ Is this what they call unsatisfied desire..."

Boom! ! !

A pale fist clenched into a ball and slammed down on the mirror. Instantly, several cracks appeared on the bronze-colored mirror.

Although she wasn't hit, Shu Xiangyue immediately covered her mouth to show her innocence.

It's just a pity about the Xuan Guang Mirror on the table. One of them was recently destroyed, and at this rate, it won't be long before it joins its deceased predecessor.

"Ahem... Anyway, what should we do next? Should we go and apologize in person?"

Pulling her fist away from the broken mirror, Long Wanyan changed the subject, probably realizing her loss of composure, especially since it was the last entryway mirror on the table.

The man who had been with Long Wanyan for many years died suddenly in anger and embarrassment because of Xiao Yu.

"Well... it's not exactly an apology. Well... what you two lack right now is familiarity, but you are the famous sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong, a title that's quite intimidating and makes it difficult for people to approach you."

While conquering women stronger than oneself is something men enjoy, for now, I suggest you secretly find an opportunity to investigate and get close to that Ye Ba.

Find out his interests and hobbies, and get to know him better. Although it's important to be responsible, it's best to discuss things carefully when it comes to such a major life decision. There's one thing I'm sure of: Ye Ba is definitely not that guy's real name.

Using a pseudonym when traveling is very common. Anyway, I searched for a long time but couldn't find any information about Ye Ba. Maybe this isn't his true identity yet, and he might still be wearing a fake face.

And from your description, he said he doesn't have any close female friends, but men sometimes don't even realize when someone likes them. It's best to investigate carefully; he might even be a cheating scumbag who's seeing multiple women at the same time..."

Her friend's advice kept ringing in her ears, and Long Wanyan lowered her head, a flash of understanding appearing in her silvery-white eyes.

Are you contacting her privately, not under the identity of Long Wanyan, but under another identity?

This is indeed a good idea, and it would also be a good opportunity to find out what he's really thinking.

As Shu Xiangyue said, the pressure from the sect leader of Qingyun Fuzong was too great. Just hearing the title was enough to overwhelm most people. Under this pressure, Ye Ba's choice might have been forced by the pressure from Qingyun Fuzong. Whether it was his true thought remains to be seen.

After some thought, Long Wanyan had an idea. She clapped her hands and said to Shu Xiangyue on the other side of the mirror:

"I think I know what to do next!"

Shu Xiangyue: ? ? ?

What do you know?

The next moment, in the room on the third floor, that burning bloodline reignited, and a faint dragon's might once again filled the room.

Chapter 83, Eat More and Strive to Break Through to the Core Formation Realm

Meanwhile, on Xiao Yu's side...

He escaped.

Just a second before Long Wanyan reached the window, she successfully ejaculated from Li Yunshang's room.

Regardless of the process, at least Xiao Yu achieved the result he wanted.

Xiao Yu raised his hand, and a silver-black short knife was in his hand. It was the skirt-pressing knife that killed the protagonist. Taking advantage of the moment when Li Yunshang pulled him to the ground and her thighs clamped around his waist, his hand was freed from the clamp, and he took the skirt-pressing knife that Li Yunshang had dropped on her thighs.

Now all that's missing is the White Phoenix Essence Blood from the Secret Realm, and then we can try to revive the protagonist.

However, according to Li Yunshang, this thing is a keepsake left to her by her missing father. It's not right to take it away so ambiguously. We should return it to her after we've achieved our goal. That way, we can put an end to the matter. Right now, we should focus on reviving the protagonist.

Thinking of Li Yunshang, Xiao Yu pinched his brow in exasperation. Damn it, what kind of mess is this?!

He just wanted to retire and live a leisurely life, so why are the female leads clinging to him one after another?

The thought that even after everything was over and he returned to Jumo Island, there would still be a mermaid heroine waiting for him made Xiao Yu feel utterly devastated, and his future seemed bleak.

If that merman saintess were to fall ill, it wouldn't be any easier for her than for Li Yunshang.

Back in the South China Sea, if he hadn't sensed something was wrong beforehand and secretly slipped away, he probably would have been dragged back to the seabed and given birth to a bunch of mermaid babies.

Xiao Yu was filled with worry, but nothing unexpected happened on the way, and he returned to his inn without any problems. As he opened the door, Bu Suantian and the others returned from outside.

The time was almost exactly as planned, but the atmosphere in the room seemed a little off.

"What are you doing, torturing prisoners?"

Seeing the scene before him, Xiao Yu asked in confusion, while silently increasing the distance to avoid being involved.

Inside the room, the girl in black robes and her several henchmen in black were frantically pressing down on the limbs of one of the henchmen. At the same time, the girl in black robes picked up bottle after bottle from the table and poured them into the mouth of the man being held down.

While drinking, she muttered to herself, "This bottle is a Spirit Gathering Pill, this bottle is a Spirit Recovery Pill, and this bottle is a Barrier Breakthrough Pill. Come on! Break through quickly. Whether we can gather enough people to participate in the secret realm tomorrow depends entirely on you."

"Woooooooo..."

The person being held down shook his head frantically, but to no avail; the drenching continued.

Bu Suantian, a tiny creature, hid to the side, holding her calico pet in her arms, watching this scene. As she watched, she chewed something, her little mouth bulging out, resembling a squirrel storing food for winter.

strangeness……
