After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

He is missing and most likely dead.

Young Li Yunshang felt very sad, but it didn’t matter because she still had her mother.

But... things are unpredictable. Without the protection of her father, a few years later, because the Xuanling Sect was leaderless, several elders contacted the Wanshou Sect, which had been oppressing the Xuanling Sect, and planned to seize power and usurp the throne. For a time, the situation of Li Yunshang and her mother was precarious.

"Qin Rou, quickly hand over the sect leader's seal. Li Ziliang has been missing for so long, he must have died somewhere."

"That's right, quickly hand over the square seal to unlock the sect protection formation and welcome the Ten Thousand Beast Sect. Now that we have lost our sect master, our Xuanling Sect can only rely on the Ten Thousand Beast Sect and become their subordinate sect in order to continue to survive."

"Don't be stubborn, hehehe... Qin Rou, if you can serve me well, I will reluctantly help Li Ziliang to support his wife and children."

"Qin Rou..."

"Mother..."

Listening to the shouting of those people outside the house, Li Yunshang snuggled in her mother's arms in fear.

"Don't be afraid, Shang'er. They are just some hungry ungrateful wolves barking. Li Ziliang, that bastard, left us mother and son and didn't even come back. Maybe he has fallen in love with someone else and hooked up with another seductress."

The woman who lost her husband had a calm expression and she comforted her daughter in a gentle tone.

"Qin Rou, hurry up and come out to welcome the envoy from the Myriad Beast Sect!"

"Elder Qin, please rest assured. As long as the disciples are still here, we will never let these thieves get involved in our sect."

The sound of fighting came from outside. Li Yunshang just grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes, but was pulled down by the woman.

"Mother!"

She looked up and found that her mother was wearing a very unfamiliar dress. In fact, it was not unfamiliar. Before her father disappeared, she often saw him wearing such a dress. He looked very heroic, as if the whole world was in his eyes.

"Shang'er... remember, from now on, just pretend that your father doesn't exist."

Having said that, he walked out with his sword in hand.

"Haha... Qin Rou, you finally came out. How did you think about the suggestions I put forward before? I... uh... uh..."

A sword pointed at the head.

In an instant, the entire Xuanling Sect was flooded with blood. The traitors were drained of their blood serum and their heads were thrown at the gate of the Wanshou Sect for public display.

On this day, Xuanling Sect had a sect leader who had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm.

It was also from that day that Li Yunshang discovered that her mother had changed. She became like her father, going out early and coming back late. She was either discussing matters with other sects or practicing in seclusion.

I only speak a few sentences to her every day.

But she was not neglected in other aspects. On the contrary, she was treated better than before. Spirit stones, magic weapons, spiritual pets, whatever she asked for was given to her.

She understood that this was a necessary sacrifice. Her mother was maintaining the Xuanling Sect, and she was waiting for that man to come back. What if that man came back one day and saw that the sect he had built had become a subordinate sect of someone else? What a huge blow that would be to him. It’s just... Li Yunshang felt very uncomfortable and lonely.

There was no one to accompany her.

However, despite her sadness, she also heard some relatively good news for her.

The talented young man who had the potential to establish a foundation at the ninth level of Lingyun died young. His cultivation level had never changed at the ninth level of Lingyun. People of the same age had already established a foundation, but he was still the same. Even his fiancée who had been engaged to him came to break off the engagement.

In comparison, her situation was much better.

However, there is always some gossip:

"Look, that's the daughter of the leader of Xuanling Sect. I heard she's a monster who can't practice."

"Really? I can't practice. Could it be that I'm a spy sent by the demon tribe?"

"It's possible, youkai."

These people were jealous. They were jealous that she had a mother who was in the Spirit Transformation Realm. They were jealous that she was treated better than everyone else even though she couldn't practice cultivation.

It’s easy to deal with these voices. Just give them a beating or a few slaps.

Although she cannot practice cultivation, she has the support of her mother.

As long as her mother does not fall, whatever she does will be tolerated and those people will not dare to say anything.

As a result, Li Yunshang's life became more unscrupulous and she embarked on a path of no return.

There is nothing to be afraid of. Even if she does something wrong, her mother will talk to her.

She wished it were so. After all, in one conversation, she said more than he had said to her in several days combined.

Perhaps those who do too much evil will eventually perish.

She...was kidnapped.

The kidnappers were probably from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and she was a bait, in order to lure her mother out of the sect so that they could ambush and assassinate her.

I guess it's over now.

Li Yunshang closed her eyes and prepared to commit suicide. She didn't want to drag her mother down.

Why is it always like this….

At the critical moment, a figure sneaked over. It was a strange guy.

He was muttering to himself, "I finally found the heroine. I'm so tired. It turns out she was hiding in such a deep place. I really don't know how the protagonist in the novel found her."

He was saying things she couldn't understand. What a weird person.

But Li Yunshang was very happy because she knew she wouldn't have to die for the time being.

She remembered the person in front of her, and it seemed that he was a disciple of Xuanling Sect who was kidnapped along with her.

This guy is really weird. On the way back, he kept saying that this was a mission and just a plot. When he suddenly met the people from the Ten Thousand Beast Sect chasing him on the road, he shouted, "Fuck, the script is wrong! Are the pursuers here too early? Damn, his cultivation is still so high, are you going to let me live?"

At the same time, he took her hand and ran, holding it tightly, as if he never thought of giving up on her.

All she had to do was let go, since those people were targeting her anyway.

Li Yunshang didn't understand. Even on the road, she deliberately acted like a spoiled brat, making things difficult for him, asking for this and that, but he still didn't give up on her.

She also recognized him. Wasn't he the genius who had a stronger talent than her and fell? It was really surprising.

I didn't expect that he would join the Xuanling Sect and reach this point. He is much better than her who had the same experience.

This was a good man, and she didn't want to implicate him. He must have worked hard to get to where he is today, and she didn't want him to die here because of her, so while he was not paying attention, Li Yunshang was deliberately abducted by human traffickers.

As a result, he actually came over happily, beat up the human trafficker who captured her, and taught her a lesson, telling her not to run around, what would she do if she got lost and he couldn't find her?

What a fool! Even if you give him a chance, it's useless. You are just an inner sect disciple and you only get a small salary a month. Why are you risking your life for him?

But it was also thanks to him that she accidentally entered a secret realm, where there were spiritual objects that allowed her to practice.

She can practice, she can finally practice.

It would have been nice if it had happened sooner.

Dad wouldn't...

In a trance, Li Yunshang recalled some things from her childhood.

At that time, her father was not so busy and would often tease her from time to time. The father-daughter relationship was very friendly. She clung to her father and felt that her father, as the head of a sect, was so powerful and the strongest man in the world, and she wanted to stay by his side all her life.

"No, Shang'er, you have to grow up, and you will find a husband in the future. There is no such thing as a girl clinging to her father all the time. Don't let yourself become an unmarried girl when you grow up.

However, our Shang'er is so pretty, there will definitely be a bunch of men vying to propose marriage to her... Damn! I wish all the men in the world would die out. My Shang'er is so cute, I will die if I leave her."

"Li Ziliang, don't say these things in front of the children. Shang'er, listen to mother. If you want to find a husband, you must find one who loves you and is willing to protect you. Don't be like your father, a loser whose cultivation is not as good as mine."

"Nonsense, if a man lives off his wife, is that cowardly? It's only natural."

"Go aside."

Invisibly, Li Yunshang, who was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, looked at her parents fighting in front of her, thought for a moment, and said in her childish voice:

"Then I must find a man who is more powerful than my father to be my husband. He is a hero. When I am in danger, he will come to marry me on a colorful cloud."

"Ha! You're calling me a hero? You're just a bear. Just the first point alone is impossible. No one more powerful than your father has been born yet. You're just reading a storybook...hiss~it hurts."

"You are not as capable as my father, but you still married me."

"I moved my father-in-law with my sincere love. These two are different."

"Then why don't you marry my father?"

…………

Just like then, Li Yunshang's lips curled up into a smile, and she thought to herself:

Dad, I found my husband, and he is just as you said, not as good as you, but... I will marry him.

I gave you a chance and you didn't get rid of me, so don't blame me for sticking with you.

Ye... No, it should be Xiao Yu.

My hero.

Chapter 31: Be my dog

At this moment, in the Xuanling Sect's cell, Xiao Yu's heart began to beat wildly with nervousness, "What...what happened?"

I hope he won’t be discovered.

"It's okay, I just want to call your name. Can I call you Brother Yu?"

Li Yunshang came back to her senses, and a faint smile appeared on her face again.

"As...as you like."

Xiao Yu agreed verbally and felt relieved in his heart. He thought Li Yunshang had discovered his little trick.

But, what the hell is Senior Brother Yu?

Does she like her senior brothers and sisters so much?

"Then... Senior Brother Yu?"

Thinking of this, Li Yunshang was like a child trying a new toy for the first time. Her eyes lit up slightly and she called Xiao Yu cautiously.

This looks kind of cute.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, and he replied in Xiao Ai's standard voice:

"I'm here."

"Yeah." Li Yunshang showed a bright smile on her face, and then looked at Xiao Yu with expectation:

"It's your turn! You have to show some appreciation after calling someone, right?"

what?

"Then Master Li..."

"Brother Yu, I advise you to think it over before you speak."

Killing intent.

Just at that moment, Xiao Yu actually felt murderous intent from the smiling girl in front of him.

"Yun Shang..."

With trembling lips, Xiao Yu gave a satisfactory answer.

Li Yunshang was in a good mood, as if she was a successful mistress. She walked forward and rubbed Xiao Yu's head:

"Well, Senior Brother Yu is very obedient. Because you are so obedient, I will not take the knife in your hand. However, if you use it to make any noise like cutting ropes again, be careful or I will break your legs."

Xiao Yu stopped what he was doing and thought, "Fuck..." He looked at Li Yunshang in front of him with a dazed look.

How did you find out?

As if to answer Xiao Yu's doubts, Li Yunshang leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"I've already told you, Senior Brother. I've been keeping an eye on you. I noticed you as soon as you walked in. Do you know why I didn't take your knife at first?"
