A wasted cultivation cultivator, whose senior sister comes to his door asking for pills at the start

"It's nothing much. It's just that when I was about to leave the Wind God Mountains, I was targeted by an Emperor-level senior from the Western Continent."

After much deliberation, Ye Yun recounted the previous battle at the Emperor rank to her.

When they learned that Ye Yun and Nangong Jiutian had once confronted three Emperor-level powerhouses from the Western Continent, they were shocked.

Her gaze sharpened slightly, and she took a deep breath.

"You actually went through something like that?"

"Now I'm even more convinced that you have a knack for attracting misfortune!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yun looked helpless and shrugged, trying to explain.

"Of course not, it was just...an accident."

"Besides, wasn't Senior Yunxiao there back then? If I were really unlucky, I wouldn't have let her be there too."

That reason is indeed plausible.

If it weren't for Senior Yunxiao's presence, things could have been quite dangerous.

However, Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him.

"If it weren't for Senior Nangong being here, you'd probably be finished by now, wouldn't you?"

Ye Yun, however, had a slightly different view on this matter.

He spread his hands and explained.

"In fact, if it weren't for Senior Nangong, I might not have been in danger this time."

"hehe……"

Hong Xian'er rolled her eyes at him and sighed.

"Forget it, I'm tired of saying that myself."

"You'd better be more careful in the future, lest something unexpected happens."

After so many times, Hong Xian'er gradually came to terms with it.

Ye Yun is already such a grown-up that he has his own judgment.

I can't just act like a parent and impose all sorts of restrictions on him.

"I understand, my wife. I will definitely protect myself."

Ye Yun grabbed her hand and grinned.

"After all... I have such a perfect wife like you, how could I bear to let anything happen to me?"

"You'd better do that."

Hong Xian'er gave a soft hum and said quietly.

Seeing her puffed-up face, Ye Yun couldn't help but find her rather cute.

Before long, they returned to their palace.

Inside the room, Ye Yun looked at Hong Xian'er in front of him and remembered something, so he asked her a question.

"Speaking of which, Xian'er, do you want to ascend to immortality?"

"What's the problem?"

Hong Xian'er raised her eyebrows slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled and said.

"Tell me, does Xian'er want it?"

Hong Xian'er pondered for a moment before answering.

"Ascension to the upper realm, I think... there's no one who wouldn't want that, right?"

Having received an answer, Ye Yun immediately asked another question.

"Then... what is Xian'er's purpose in wanting to ascend to immortality?"

Upon seeing him again, she asked him a strange question, and Hong Xian'er's expression became odd.

After a moment of contemplation, she replied.

"If it were before, it would have been for the sake of immortality."

This is not surprising; for every person seeking immortality, the primary driving force is undoubtedly longevity.

After all, in the Xuan Tian Continent, almost nothing can exist forever.

Even so-called Emperor-level experts, or even those at the Great Perfection of the Emperor-level, possess a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

This is in the face of the entire continent's history spanning countless billions of years.

Even emperor-level powerhouses are as insignificant as dust and as fleeting as mayflies.

Only by ascending to the upper realm and seeking immortality can one have the chance to achieve eternal life.

"I see."

Ye Yun nodded, then asked.

"And now?"

After all, the other party was referring to the past, not the present.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er looked at him and smiled.

"Right now... I want to be with my husband forever."

His eyes revealed deep affection.

This gentle voice startled Ye Yun for a moment.

"this……"

Ye Yun exchanged a glance with him and pounced on him.

"What a coincidence, it's me too!"

Hong Xian'er was startled when he suddenly pinned her down.

"What are you doing?!"

Clearly, she hadn't expected Ye Yun to launch a surprise attack.

"What for? Is that even a question?"

Ye Yun smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips.

"My dear wife, it's been a while since we last cultivated, hasn't it?"

"Don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Feeling his intense gaze, Hong Xian'er couldn't help but take a deep breath.

She turned her face away and pursed her lips.

"No, the backlash from the technique is much weaker now."

"So that means it still exists?"

Ye Yun grinned and leaned down to look at her, laughing.

"Xian'er, let me help you resolve the problem of the backlash from your cultivation technique today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced on her.

The bedroom door and even the curtains were drawn, plunging the room into darkness.

……

……

……

Two hours later.

Congratulations on gaining 2000 Creation Points!

After a period of intense and passionate training, Hong Xian'er was completely exhausted.

Ye Yun, who was holding him, jokingly said something.

"More than a month has passed, and you still look so radiant, Xian'er."

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er pursed her lips and glared at him, then said somewhat shyly.

"You jerk, you're so annoying..."

As he spoke, he grabbed Ye Yun's waist hard.

She was incredibly strong, causing him to gasp in pain and beg for mercy repeatedly.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! I was wrong, Xian'er, I was wrong!"

Seeing this, Hong Xian'er let out a soft snort.

"What should you shout in a situation like this?"

"Oh, this..."

Ye Yun was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and quickly called out.

"My wife, my wife, I was wrong!"

At this moment, his will to survive was at its peak.

"That's more like it."

Hearing the address she wanted to hear, Hong Xian'er nodded in satisfaction and released him.

As for Ye Yun, he also had an expression as if he had come to life.

Then, he couldn't help but complain.

"My dear wife, can you please stop pinching me all the time?"

"Isn't it all because of you? All you do is bully me!"

Hong Xian'er glared at him and let out a soft snort.

At that moment, she looked like a punching bag, which was incredibly cute.

Seeing this, Ye Yun smiled sheepishly and quickly assured him.

"Okay, I promise I won't bully you next time."

That's what they said, but Hong Xian'er didn't believe it at all.

This guy always says he'll be very gentle before they start practicing dual cultivation, but I've never actually done it.

All he does is bully her.

Ye Yun didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer and changed the subject.

"By the way, my lady, how's the monster-extermination work going these past few days?"

When it came to serious matters, Hong Xian'er's expression also became serious.

She answered Ye Yun's question without hesitation.

"Everything went smoothly, and all sides achieved remarkable results, having already located the positions of most of the demons."

"Next, all we need to do is send people to gradually clear them out."

Upon learning that everything had gone smoothly, Ye Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Hmm... I hope everything goes smoothly."

Then, he turned to ask a question.

"What about the Ascension Sect? Any news?"

Now, apart from the matter of the blood-red demon, he is most concerned about the affairs of the Ascension Sect.

When this matter was mentioned, Hong Xian'er couldn't help but shake her head.

"Ascension Sect, there are still no clues, it's as if the continent has evaporated."

Compared to the blood-red demons, the Ascension Sect, a cult of evil cultivators with brains, is obviously more difficult to deal with.

Ye Yun frowned slightly, then asked a question.

"What about the Nine Nether Holy Land? There aren't any clues there either?"

After all, there was already a direction for the investigation, and it was suspected that the Ascension Sect was related to the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xian'er fell into deep thought, and then shook her head.

"Speaking of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, it's rather strange."

"During this period, there was almost no movement at all, as if it had remained silent."

This is quite unusual considering the usual way the Nine Netherworld Holy Land operates.

After learning about the unusual situation at the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and said.

"Could it be related to the Ascension Sect?"

"Well... it's hard to say, there's no evidence yet."

Hong Xian'er sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.

During this time, she had tried her best to find any trace of the Ascension Sect, but still found nothing.

Coupled with the threat of the blood-red monster, she had no choice but to focus her attention on dealing with it.

Just as the two were talking, there was a knock on the door of the bedroom.

Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.

Normally, during their dual cultivation, the maids outside would help keep out visitors to avoid disturbing them.

Therefore, anything that can arrive at this time must be important.

Then, Hong Xian'er asked a question casually.

"Who?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a maid's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, someone just delivered a message outside, saying it's extremely urgent and I must pass it on to Elder Ye."

"An extremely urgent letter?"

Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er were both stunned for a moment.

If it were a letter of utmost urgency to be sent to Hong Xian'er, that would be understandable, after all, she is the Holy Master of the Ancient Path.

But Ye Yun is different. The position of Elder of the Temple is just a leisurely one. What urgent matter could possibly need to be brought to him?

After a moment's thought, Hong Xian'er said calmly.

"Okay, put the letter on the ground and then you can leave."

The maid outside the door responded.

"Yes, ma'am."

Before long, the footsteps of the maid outside the door faded into the distance.

Inside the palace, Hong Xian'er glanced at Ye Yun.

"Go on, hurry up and get your extremely urgent letter."

"understood."

Without Hong Xian'er urging him, Ye Yun jumped off the bed.

He casually threw on a piece of clothing and quickly went to open the door.

A letter lay quietly on the ground.

Ye Yun raised his hand and drew it into his palm.

"This aura... it seems somewhat familiar."

He picked up the envelope, examined it in his palm, and found it increasingly familiar.

Hong Xian'er, who was on the bed, had already wrapped herself in clothes and looked at him curiously, asking a question.

"Whose letter is this?"

"I haven't seen it yet, please allow me to open it."

Ye Yun seemed to be deep in thought as he opened the envelope in his hand.

Then, a letter with familiar handwriting appeared before him.

Just then, Hong Xian'er also came over and curiously looked at the contents.

"This is……"

After reading the above content, the expressions on Ye Yun and Hong Xian'er's faces changed.

What began as surprise turned into growing seriousness...

This letter came from the Nine Netherworld Holy Land, or more precisely, from Wuxian of the Nine Netherworld Holy Land.

The content itself is quite simple; it's a letter seeking help, mentioning a very important matter.

The Nine Netherworld Holy Land has been usurped by the Ascension Immortal Sect.
