Everyone could not help sighing at the sight.
Liu Yunxi had once been the Saintess of her sect, no matter how one looked at it. Yet now, she had ended up in such a miserable state.
But there was nothing to be done. Who could blame her when, a month ago, she had chosen Xiao Chengfeng and abandoned Ye Xuan?
"Master Ji, you can't marry Ye Xuan!"
At that moment, Xuan Zhou hurried forward as well.
"He's not worthy!"
If Ji Xueyao married Ye Xuan, wouldn't that mean he had no chance at all?
"And what are you supposed to be?"
Ji Ziyao glared fiercely at him.
It had taken her so much effort to finally meet Ye Xuan. How could everyone keep trying to stop her?!
Immediately afterward, she raised her delicate hand. The air stirred, sending ripples spreading outward.
In the span of a few breaths, Formation Patterns manifested, exuding murderous intent!
If anyone else dared stop her from marrying Ye Xuan, they would be executed!
"You—you'll regret this!"
Xuan Zhou's entire body tensed under her stare, and he hurriedly fled the encampment.
Because he had sensed killing intent on Ji Ziyao's face.
What Ji Ziyao had condensed was a killing formation. He would die!
Thus, everyone unrelated to the matter left the encampment.
"The wedding ceremony... should we continue?"
Su Ziyun glanced at Ye Xuan and asked tentatively.
Although Ji Xueyao's insistence on becoming a concubine worried her somewhat, Wan'er was the principal wife, so there was nothing she could say.
"Mm, let's continue!"
Ye Xuan nodded.
Since Ji Ziyao was willing to become a concubine, he truly had no way to refuse her anymore.
Moreover, Ji Ziyao's attitude satisfied him quite a bit.
Immediately afterward, Ye Xuan performed the rites of Heaven and Earth with Chu Wan'er and Ji Ziyao in succession. They drank the nuptial wine together, and the wedding ceremony was complete.
Afterward, Ye Xuan naturally could not escape being plied with drink by everyone. Nangong Shou and Mo Feng were the most relentless of them all.
It was rare for Ye Xuan to feel so carefree after three years, so he opened up and drank his fill.
At the same time, Xuan Zhou had already set off to return to Cloud Palace Academy.
He had already lost face too badly to remain in Tianxuan City. Besides, he had to report Ji Xueyao's marriage to the academy!
But when Xuan Zhou entered the room aboard the flying vessel, he suddenly froze in shock.
He had actually discovered a woman lying on his bed!?
The woman lay there with her hair in disarray. Although he could not see her face, her figure was quite good.
"Old Gu, who is this?"
Xuan Zhou turned around and looked at the black-robed old man behind him.
"Young Master, this is the cauldron this old slave found for you!"
The black-robed old man spoke with a solemn expression.
"A cauldron?"
Xuan Zhou's expression changed drastically.
Of course he knew what a cauldron was, but that was a technique of the Demonic Path!
"That's right. The master sent Young Master to Cloud Palace Academy precisely for Ji Xueyao. That woman possesses astonishing talent and physique, and she has a Profound Yin Body. She is the most suitable cauldron!"
"The master said that as long as Young Master accomplishes it, he will pass this inheritance on to you."
Old Gu raised his hand and handed Xuan Zhou a dark-red Jade Slip.
"Supreme Bliss Profound Scripture!"
Xuan Zhou accepted the Jade Slip. After seeing the inheritance technique within, he could not help sucking in a cold breath.
This was indeed an inheritance of the Demonic Path!
"Heh, Young Master may not know this, but do you know why the monsters of the Xuan Clan experience a sudden surge in cultivation after reaching adulthood?"
Old Gu asked with a smile.
"Old Gu, you mean that they all cultivated this technique?"
"Then why did I not know about it before?"
Xuan Zhou frowned as he held the Jade Slip.
He was a direct descendant!
Yet it could not be denied that the Xuan Clan's prodigies truly saw a tremendous increase in their cultivation speed after reaching adulthood, beginning from the Myriad Manifestation Realm!
"Only those qualified to cultivate this secret technique are informed of it, and they are absolutely forbidden from leaking it." Old Gu smiled mysteriously. "The Xuan Clan's bloodline is pure, and nearly all of them possess physiques of extreme yang and hardness. They are naturally suited to this secret technique of absorbing yin to supplement yang!"
"Although Young Master's Silver Sun Body cannot compare to those of the other three young masters, it is still an exceedingly rare physique!"
"So naturally, you learned of it somewhat later than the other clansmen." Old Gu smiled faintly.
"But Old Gu, didn't my father mean for me to win over Ji Ziyao first? But I..."
Xuan Zhou wanted to continue, but Old Gu raised his hand and interrupted him. "The target the master set for Young Master is simply too difficult!"
"Ji Ziyao thinks extremely highly of herself. Even if the eldest young master came personally, he might not be able to win her over!"
"However, I have already chosen a cauldron for Young Master!"
Old Gu looked at the woman lying on the bed and said, "Although this woman currently only possesses a Spirit Physique, she was born with a Water Yin Body, and it can advance further!"
"She would also be quite suitable as a long-term cauldron!"
"Young Master, you have lost face in Tianxuan City. You must work twice as hard in your cultivation now!"
"Of course!" At the mention of Tianxuan City, Xuan Zhou's expression suddenly turned cold.
He would become stronger and wash away every bit of today's humiliation!
Immediately afterward, he rushed straight toward the bed and turned the woman over.
"It's you!?"
But when he saw the woman's face, Xuan Zhou was startled.
This woman was actually Liu Yunxi!?
"Please, Young Master, show me mercy!"
Liu Yunxi's face was pale, her eyes deep and hollow like a puppet's.
After being slapped out of the Violet Firmament Sect's encampment, she had already been utterly disheartened. But Old Gu had taken her away and promised to let her enter Cloud Palace Academy. The condition was that she become Xuan Zhou's cauldron.
Although becoming a cauldron humiliated her to the extreme, compared with the disgrace she had suffered inside the encampment, it was nothing!
Besides, she would be Xuan Zhou's cauldron!
As long as she could become stronger, she would spare no cost!
"Ye Xuan, Chu Wan'er, Ji Xueyao—one day, you will regret this too!"
As she watched Xuan Zhou, who had already shed his armor and was pouncing toward her, Liu Yunxi's eyes blazed with boundless hatred!
Violet Firmament Sect's encampment.
After seeing off the guests, Ye Xuan returned to Chu Wan'er's room.
But before he could say more than a few words, Chu Wan'er pushed him back out.
"Wan'er, you..."
Ye Xuan frowned.
"Little Sister Xueyao is waiting next door. Besides, didn't we consummate our marriage last night? My husband is so fierce. Today, let's take a break."
Chu Wan'er's face flushed as she spoke.
"Then... all right!" Although the wedding day was important, Wan'er's health mattered more.
"Mm, go on, husband!" Chu Wan'er smiled and closed the door.
It was not that her body truly could not bear it. She simply did not lack this one night. She had already obtained everything she wanted, and as the principal wife, she ought to be magnanimous.
Ye Xuan pursed his lips, then went to Ji Ziyao's room.
At that moment, Ji Xueyao was dressed in red, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall. Astonishment shimmered across her peerlessly beautiful face.
She had not expected that, on their wedding night, Ye Xuan would actually not be in Chu Wan'er's room.
"Xueyao will attend to her husband..."
Ji Xueyao was merely stunned for a moment before rising to undress Ye Xuan. She even knelt on the ground to remove his boots.
If anyone from Cloud Palace Academy saw this scene, they would certainly be scared unconscious.
The proud daughter of heaven, Ji Xueyao, was actually so obedient and humble before Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan's pupils contracted slightly. He raised his hand and lifted Ji Xueyao's fair chin.
"Husband?" Ji Xueyao looked somewhat puzzled and somewhat bashful.
"How much of this is genuine?"
"I'll tell you the truth. Even if I took you tonight, you still wouldn't obtain the Emperor Blood."
Little Pagoda had already told him that although he could cultivate dual cultivation with Ji Xueyao, unless his cultivation reached the peak of the Heavenly Dipper Realm, he would be unable to activate the second thunder mark and therefore could not release the Emperor Blood sealed within the pagoda by Ji Xueyao.
"I know."
Ji Ziyao smiled sweetly. "My husband is still misunderstanding me."
"I am a daughter of the Imperial Clan. My gaze is not so shallow. In these myriad worlds, there is no one stronger than my husband. Besides my husband, who else could I possibly take a liking to?"
"You're very clever." Ye Xuan frowned when he heard this, then withdrew his hand.
This Ji Xueyao always left him unable to find a flaw.
"In terms of talent, I am indeed not the strongest among the Seven Imperial Daughters. But if we compare minds, I truly refuse to yield to anyone."
"I am clumsy with words and cannot speak sweet, lovesick phrases. I like my husband. If my husband believes me, then that is the truth!"
"If my husband does not believe me, then no matter how much I say, it will be useless. Am I wrong?"
Ji Xueyao smiled sweetly. "In any case, I will not only accompany my husband back to the Outer Heavens, but I will also accompany my husband along the path to immortality, all the way to the Far Shore!"
"That mouth of yours is anything but clumsy!"
Ye Xuan shook his head, then immediately swept Ji Ziyao up around the waist and pressed her onto the bed.
"But being too clever means this husband has to punish you!"
With that, he pressed down upon her...
Before you continue
