Work at Sunrise, Rest at Sunset

[After Nalan Yanran proposed breaking off the engagement.]

[Xiao Yan and Xiao Zhan, whose engagement had been broken off, neither refused nor harbored any resentment.]

[Because you had brought enough compensation.]

[Just as you were about to leave, Xiao Yan approached you and proposed using a piece of Ancient Jade to exchange for more medicinal pills.]

[You agreed.]

[With the matter resolved perfectly, you returned to the Misty Cloud Sect with Nalan Yanran.]

[After resting for several days, you left the Misty Cloud Sect with Yun Yun. You happened upon the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King in the Monster Mountain Range, and together you beat it into submission, finding the rare Companion Purple Crystal Source in its Cave Mansion.]

[You had lightning affinity, while Yun Yun had wind affinity. Neither of you could directly devour and refine the Companion Purple Crystal Source, so when you passed through Wu Tan City, you exchanged it at the Miter Auction House for suitable healing pills.]

[After leaving the Jia Ma Empire, your first stop was the Chu Yun Empire.]

Ye Hao: "Huh?"

The Chu Yun Empire was a paradise for Poison Masters!

It was the sacred land in the hearts of many Poison Masters across the Northwest Continent!

Yet it was also the place other cultivators least wanted to visit.

They knew nothing about poison, so why had they chosen this as their first stop?

Weren't they afraid of running into some old poison freak and getting beaten up?

[The Chu Yun Empire was filled with Poison Masters. Even the air seemed to carry a pungent stench.]

[You discovered that whenever people got into disputes and fought here, no one dared watch from nearby.]

[Because at the slightest disagreement, they would throw poison powder at each other.]

[They competed to see whose poison was stronger and who could detoxify faster!]

[Anyone standing too close could easily get poisoned.]

[The reason you came to the Chu Yun Empire was to adapt to poison and understand poison, so that when you went to the Snake People Tribe someday, you would not have to fear their poison.]

[Along the way, you encountered a Dou Wang expert who took a liking to Yun Yun and wanted to snatch her away as his Bandit's Wife. After you gave him a beating, he behaved himself.]

"While traveling outside, don't you know to disguise yourself?"

"Don't you know that beauty is a bane?"

[Worried that more unnecessary trouble might arise, Yun Yun had you disguise her as an ordinary peasant woman with a face full of freckles.]

[Sure enough, no one approached her after that.]

[However, you always felt that someone was following you.]

[You tried many methods, but you could not find that person.]

[The feeling of being watched left you sitting on pins and needles, extremely uncomfortable.]

[After discussing it with Yun Yun, you decided to lure that person out.]

Ye Hao: "It can't be someone from the Soul Hall, right?"

In this life, aside from going to the Xiao Family to break off the engagement, Xun Er had not appeared in the simulation. He should not have become involved with the Ancient Clan or the Soul Hall.

Who could it be?

[After leaving Black Cloud City, you set an ambush in a forest.]

[Before long, you blocked that person's path!]

[When you saw his face, you and Yun Yun were stunned!]

[It was actually Gu He!]

Ye Hao: "??"

Was this simp afraid that he would do something to Yun Yun, so he had deliberately followed them?

The key was!

If he really did something to Yun Yun!

What could Gu He do?

Help give them a push?

[Gu He shot you a venomous look, wishing he could devour you alive.]

[You disliked the look in his eyes and decided to teach him a lesson!]

[Yun Yun said: Gu He had refined pills for the Misty Cloud Sect for so many years and had worked hard with great merit. Could you spare him?]

[You nodded and agreed.]

[You told Gu He: For Yun Yun's sake, I'll spare you this once. I hope you stop following us.]

[Though Gu He did not want to admit it, the truth was that, with his Dou Wang strength, he was no match for you at all. After giving Yun Yun a bottle of pills, he could only leave unwillingly.]

Ye Hao froze. They just let him go?

Weren't they afraid of letting the tiger return to the mountain?

[You and Yun Yun did not take the matter to heart. For safety's sake, you changed your planned route and went to the Tian Xin Empire.]

[During your two years in the Tian Xin Empire, you progressed at an astonishing rate.]

[Especially you. In the two years since leaving the Misty Cloud Sect, you had soared from a One Star Dou Emperor to a Nine Star Dou Emperor!]

[Yun Yun envied you but was not jealous. After all, you were husband and wife.]

[However, with your help, she had also reached Five Star Dou Emperor!]

[In a cave beneath a cliff in the Tian Xin Empire, you discovered two Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques.]

[One was lightning affinity, and the other was wind affinity.]

[They were perfect for you and Yun Yun.]

Ye Hao: "Well, damn..."

Explosive Good Luck had definitely triggered!

They had picked up Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques again!

[Thus, you decided to master these Heavenly Rank Dou Techniques before leaving.]

[You worked at sunrise and rested at sunset.]

[Like an immortal couple, you cultivated while sightseeing and enjoying the mountains and rivers.]

[Of course, you had not forgotten your mission!]

[You began preparing to cross the Tian Xin Empire and head for the Tagor Desert!]

"I almost thought you'd get lost in her gentle embrace and be unable to pull yourself out."

Ye Hao wiped away his sweat.

Still, in days spent with such a beauty by his side, it truly was easy to lose oneself.

The fact that he still remembered he had to go to the Tagore Desert was already rather rare.

Wait!!

Cross the Tian Xin Empire?

He remembered that there was a Soul Hall Branch Hall in the Heavenly Burial Ravine of the Tian Xin Empire.

Protector Wu seemed to belong to that Branch Hall!

Fuck!

They wouldn't run into the Soul Hall, would they?!

[A year later, when you passed through the Heavenly Burial Ravine, you discovered an enormous structure amid the towering mountains.]

[You vaguely saw countless powerful figures entering and leaving it.]

[You sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly left with Yun Yun.]

[However, your whereabouts were still discovered, and a figure shrouded in black mist pursued you.]

[You sensed that the other party was a Dou Zong expert. Even joining forces with Yun Yun, you were no match for him.]

[You fell into a dangerous situation.]

[You took Yun Yun and lured the black-mist figure to a remote place.]

[You drained all the Dou Qi in your body and unleashed a Heavenly Rank Dou Technique, fighting the black-mist figure and ultimately forcing him back.]

[However, you suffered serious injuries as a result.]

[Looking at you covered in blood, Yun Yun's heart ached terribly. She knew that if you had not been protecting her, you would have escaped long ago with your strength.]

[Afraid that she would worry, you told her that you were fine, merely overly exhausted, and that your injuries were not serious.]

[Yun Yun bit her red lips. It was as though she had made some kind of decision, and a trace of resolve flashed through her eyes.]

[You found a cave and hid inside to heal and recover.]

[That night, Yun Yun built a campfire, skewered several fish she had personally caught, and roasted them beside the flames.]

[During this period of traveling and training, she had learned how to roast fish and chicken. They tasted quite good too.]

[But after eating, you discovered that something seemed wrong with your body, as though you had fallen into a Furnace!]

[Only then did you realize that Yun Yun seemed to have drugged you!]

[Before you could react, Yun Yun had already removed her clothes and stood before you.]

"Ah, this..."

Ye Hao realized that this seemed to be the only time in three simulations that he had tasted something salty!

[Yun Yun lightly bit her red lips and came before you, gazing at you tenderly. A faint mist filled her eyes.]

[Just as you were about to say something, she sealed your lips!]

[Then, you exchanged your strengths, using your own strengths to make up for each other's shortcomings.]

"What a pity. If only I could take the field personally in this simulation. At the very least, a video clip would do."

Ye Hao thought this!

After all...

Yun Yun was the regret that many readers could never let go of.
