A Sexagenary Cycle in the Blink of an Eye (32)
After processing the resources he had obtained at the Xuelian Island Market, Yang An'nan rode his Flying Sword at breakneck speed back to Huanghua Island.
Over the past two years, he has used various means to kill and plunder, killing more than twenty Qi Refining cultivators and one Foundation Establishment Cultivator, obtaining a large amount of resources that were finally enough to make up for the losses. So he immediately stopped.
Yang An'nan had an extremely firm will. He knew the principle that too much of a good thing is bad. Each time he killed and stole treasure to satisfy his own needs, he was able to restrain his desires and stop in time.
This is why he has remained undiscovered for so many years.
Back in Huanghua Island Market, Yang An'nan chatted and laughed with his clansmen as if nothing had happened, showing no sign of being affected by the killing atmosphere.
Yang Anping walked over, looked at him with a complicated expression, sighed, and transmitted his voice, "Brother Nan, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Law Enforcement Hall?"
Just because others might not notice the slightest clues between the two brothers doesn't mean Yang Anping was unaware.
However, while he wouldn't commit murder and robbery, he also wouldn't betray his brothers.
"What's there to be afraid of? As long as I do it cleanly and stop in time, it's nothing!" Yang An'nan said calmly.
He knew Yang Anping's character, of course, so he didn't hide anything and spoke quite naturally.
"But this is ultimately not a long-term solution!" Yang Anping frowned.
"Don't worry, Brother Ping, I know what I'm doing. If the Law Enforcement Hall discovers my actions one day, I have nothing to say. If I'm not discovered, then it's because I, Yang An'nan, am not destined to die."
"The Cultivation World is a dog-eat-dog world. If you don't eat others, others will eat you."
I have no powerful backing, no talent, no connections. If I even lose this fighting spirit, how can I pursue the Great Dao?
Yang An'nan's expression was calm, but deep in his eyes was indifference.
Once, when he watched his Mortal parents die of old age, he decided that he would definitely become an immortal and live forever.
For this ultimate goal, he would kill any god or Buddha who stood in his way, and would give anything.
"Sigh, if there's anything you need my brother's help with, just say so!" Yang Anping sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.
Having not experienced Yang An'nan's hardships, he knew he was not qualified to advise his brother.
However, as his younger brother and best friend, Yang Anping didn't mind offering some help, even if it meant being punished as an accomplice in the future.
Hearing Yang Anping's words, even Yang An'nan, with his heart of stone, felt a slight warmth.
He opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing. He simply picked up his glass and drank it all in one gulp!
Time flies, and another year has passed.
On this day, the Far-Ocean Trade Fleet took to the skies once again, heading West.
The three thousand Reverse Scale Army were sent by the Luochuan River Dragon King to help escort them back.
If it weren't for the fear of misunderstanding from the various forces along the way, the Luochuan River Dragon King would have sent even more people.
Aside from Yang Tianyou and his wife, no one knew why this new guardian of the Flood Dragon Clan favored the Yang Household so much.
However, this did not prevent the major powers from repeatedly emphasizing the importance they attached to the Yang Household.
Thanks to the Yang Household's deliberate efforts to spread the word, almost all the major powers in the Lu Wu Realm now regard the Yang Household as a Province-Level Power.
Putting everything else aside, just based on the latter's connections alone, even Sage Manifestation cultivator wouldn't easily provoke him.
After the Fleet had been at sea for half a month, Yang Tianyou and his wife handed over all their affairs to Yang Tianjiu and then piloted a Fifth Tier Flying Shuttle toward the Chaotic Sea.
The couple first spent half a year traveling through the Black Dragon Empire and the Hanwu Empire, experiencing the different customs and cultures of the two great empires. Then they set sail from the Eastern Sea of the Chaotic Sea and flew north at high speed.
Without the burden of the main force, the Flying Shuttle moved very fast, and in just one month, it arrived at the Eight Desolations Arena on Four Symbols Island.
The magnificent Eight Desolations Arena caught Yunhua's attention. To be honest, this was her first time visiting Four Symbols Island. Previously, Yang Tianyou had always come alone or with other clansmen.
In front of a golden Bamboo Forest, a stone house stands, and not far away is a huge waterfall, with the roar of the rushing water never ceasing.
Yang Tianyou led his wife to the stone house with practiced ease. A round figure caught Yunhua's attention.
"Is this Iron-Eating Beast?" Yunhua lightly covered her red lips, a hint of surprise flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Not bad, what, does Madam like it?" Yang Tianyou reached out and stroked the soft fur of the Iron-Eating Beast in front of him, then turned and asked with a smile.
"They look quite cute!" Yunhua nodded slightly, then shook her head. "But we already have so many Spirit Beasts at home, and besides, I don't have that much time to train them."
At this moment, Wuhuang swaggered over, looked at Yunhua, and laughed, "Iron-Eating Beasts are easy to raise. Just plant a Bamboo Forest for them and keep the Spiritual Qi plentiful!"
"This..." Yunhua seemed to be tempted.
Seeing this, Wuhuang smiled knowingly, "It just so happens that Big White gave birth to two Iron-Eating Beasts a couple of years ago. I'll discuss it with it and give one to my aunt!"
"Thank you very much, Junior Nephew!" Yunhua smiled sweetly. "Don't worry, I will definitely treat the Iron-Eating Beast cub well!"
"Alright, since that's the case, you all sit and wait for a while, I'll go discuss it with Big White!" Wuhuang was a decisive person, and after saying that, she turned and walked into the Bamboo Forest.
Seeing this, Yang Tianyou and his wife smiled and then sat down at the white jade table, took out fruits and wine, and chatted while enjoying their meal.
A moment later, Wuhuang came over, carrying an Iron-Eating Beast the size of a human head, curled up in a round ball with only two small, black eyes showing.
Yunhua carefully took it, gently stroking the fur of the Iron-Eating Beast with her jade-like hand, a gentle smile flashing in her eyes.
"Two little guys, one male and one female. This is the little sister, I call her Little Erbai!" Wuhuang sat down, picked up a fruit and threw it into her mouth, chewing as she mumbled.
"Little Erbai..." Yang Tianyou's eyelids twitched, and he couldn't help but complain, "What kind of divine name did you choose?"
"Little Erbai, isn't that a nice name? My master didn't say anything!" Wuhuang muttered.
"Alright, let's keep Little Erbai as its nickname. From now on, its formal name will be Yun Bai." Yang Tianyou's lips twitched. He didn't argue with Wuhuang, this rough fellow. After thinking for a moment, he gave the little guy a new name.
"Yun Bai? Whatever you want, a name is just a label!" Wuhuang laughed.
Yunhua smiled and did not object to the name. She extended her jade finger, and a drop of Taiyin Blood, full of spiritual light and overflowing with cold energy, landed on Yun Bai's forehead.
Buzz!!
A mysterious and complex Blood Contract Formation appeared, enveloping Yunhua and Yun Bai and forging a profound connection between them.
Before long, the Blood Contract was established. Feeling the connection with the little one in her arms, Yunhua's beautiful eyes immediately curved into crescent shapes.
