In an instant, Su Tanmeng trembled all over, her eyes, which had been closed for rest, snapped open, and her pupils contracted rapidly.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that Su Tanmeng's face was slightly contorted as she covered the sole of her right calf, looking like she was having a cramp!
Xiao Yao stared blankly for a second. He never expected that someone with the cultivation of a ninth- Immortal King Titan Realm expert could still experience leg cramps.
So this was all an act by the Second Master?
Thinking of this, he strode forward and asked with concern, "Wife, would you like me to massage your legs?"
"No... no need," Su Tanmeng said weakly.
She couldn't let Xiao Yao rub her; if he did, he'd find out she was faking it.
Xiao Yao already understood that his Second Master was faking it, but why was he faking it?
Could it be that what I was about to tell him wasn't a good thing for him?
Thinking of this, his face darkened, and he sent a telepathic message: "Wife, now that we're communicating via telepathy, can you tell me now?"
Immediately, Su Tanmeng realized that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she sent out a divine thought.
Actually, I wanted to leave you to see if I could encounter my own opportunity and become stronger.
Xiao Yao pondered this carefully and found that this sentence didn't displease him, so why was his Second Master keeping it a secret?
It is certain that the Second Master did not reveal the most truthful aspect.
He then gazed into Su Tanmeng's beautiful eyes and sent a telepathic message: "Wife, you're afraid I'll get angry, so you didn't dare tell me the details, right?"
"I..." Su Tanmeng didn't know what to say for a moment.
She didn't want to lie to Xiao Yao either, but the problem was that she had previously thought that it was because she was following Xiao Yao that her cultivation level hadn't improved like Dongfang and Little Dragon's.
Seeing Su Tanmeng's eyes wavering between hesitation and determination, Xiao Yao realized that pressing her further would not be good for anyone, so he sent a divine thought.
"Forget it! You can bring it up later if you want!"
Su Tanmeng fell silent, finally understanding how Xiao Yao had felt when he couldn't reveal his secret.
Of course, she also understood that Xiao Yao couldn't say it, most likely because there would be terrible punishment if he did.
She didn't say anything simply because she was afraid that Xiao Yao would be disappointed in her and stop loving her.
The matter should have ended in silence, but then Long Xiaoxiao's soft, slender hand grabbed her right calf, touched it for a moment, and then she made a sound full of doubt.
"Hey! Sister Susu, your leg is fine! Why did you look like it was in so much pain earlier?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Xuetong immediately looked over and complained, " Sister Susu, it's really shameless of you to try to gain your husband's sympathy like this!"
Su Tanmeng simply smiled and remained silent, wanting to get through this peacefully.
But Long Xiaoxiao seemed unwilling to let her off the hook, and continued to ask, " Sister Susu, what exactly did you want to say earlier? Why haven't you said it yet?"
"There's no need to talk about that anymore!" Su Tanmeng said calmly.
Long Xiaoxiao looked disappointed and pouted, saying, "Why is it like this! I was really looking forward to what Sister Susu wanted to say!"
" Long'er, if Tanmeng doesn't want to talk about it, don't force her to," Xiao Yao advised.
Su Tanmeng felt a warmth in her heart; her husband still loved her dearly!
Immediately afterward, she heard Dongfang Xuetong's telepathic message, " Sister Susu, if you don't tell me, is this really good for our husband?"
Su Tanmeng didn't refute it; of course she knew it wasn't good, but...
" Sister Susu, think this through carefully. Once a crack in trust is formed, it's irreparable. I don't want you and your husband to part ways one day in the future."
Dongfang Xuetong's words echoed in Su Tanmeng's mind for a long time.
But she still couldn't make a decision, so her gaze fell on Xiao Yao's eyes, where her reflection was visible in his pupils, and he still seemed to be holding onto hope.
At this moment, Su Tanmeng understood and opened her rosy lips without fear.
"Dongfang, my husband, Little Dragon, this is what happened."
"I think it's because I've always been by my husband's side that I'm not as good as Little Dragon and Dongfang."
"Although I struggled for a long time, I finally decided to leave my husband and go out to make my own way in the world."
Xiao Yao's lips twitched. He knew this was a chain reaction after Su Tanmeng level was surpassed, but it really annoyed him.
He originally thought that since his Second Master didn't have the bonus from the Divine Firmament Dragon Pearl, he deliberately activated the Ultimate Divine Pearl so that his master could achieve a shortcut through cultivation.
Unexpectedly, the Divine Firmament Dragon Pearl provided such a significant boost, preventing the Second Master from successfully overtaking on a curve.
But can we blame him for this?
Frustrated, Xiao Yao looked at Su Tanmeng and noticed that she was repeatedly opening and closing her eyes in a cycle.
Clearly, this was also a torment for the Second Master.
Ultimately, it's all for his sake. Otherwise, with Second Master's indifference to fame and fortune and his tranquil and far-reaching nature, he wouldn't care about such things at all.
"Tanmeng, I won't hold this against you this time, but I hope you won't care about things like this that you would never have cared about before because of me in the future."
Su Tanmeng was completely stunned. She hadn't expected that Xiao Yao would still be thinking about how to prevent such a thing from happening in the future at a time like this.
At this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she had made the decision to win over her disciple; otherwise, such a wonderful man would have been given away to someone else.
She then gave a heavy "Mmm," and completely repented, promising, "Husband, I will never do it again!"
Not long after, the magnificent airship came to a stop.
Xiao Yao and his group arrived at the bow of the ship and looked down. There were ten flat plots of land floating in the air, which looked like inverted mountain peaks below.
There were many cultivators around, and seven of the floating islands were already inhabited.
Of the other three floating islands, two are constantly being contested by cultivators.
There was only one empty space, with no cultivators going there; it seemed to be a forbidden zone.
At that moment, seven respectful voices rang out, " Lotus Immortal Emperor, you have finally arrived!"
These voices include both male and female voices, including loli voices, shota voices, aged and hoarse voices, as well as young, energetic, and youthful voices.
However, they all share one characteristic: the aura they sensed far surpassed that of the Immortal King Titan Realm.
In other words, the owners of the seven voices were all Immortal Emperor Realm.
Furthermore, their respect for the Senior Disciple Master indicates that their cultivation level is definitely at the Word Falling Realm, and they are all around the third level of the Word Falling Realm, or even higher than the third level of the Word Falling Realm.
After reaching this conclusion, Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise, " Senior Disciple Master, you have quite the presence!"
Dongfang Xuetong's face was full of happy smiles; she had already imagined this scene before Xiao Yao agreed to come.
She quickly suppressed her smile and pointed to the empty, floating island.
"Disciple, that is our location. This mythical opportunity will begin with our occupation of the island."
Long Xiaoxiao asked with some confusion, "Dongfang, weren't you not here before? Why did these cultivators reserve a spot for you?"
"I asked them to reserve a spot for me."
The "they" that Dongfang Xuetong mentioned should be the seven Immortal Emperor Realm cultivators who just spoke.
Xiao Yao, Su Tanmeng, and Long Xiaoxiao exchanged bewildered glances. In the eyes of the human, the fox, and the dragon, Dongfang Xuetong shouldn't have done such a thing.
Sensing suspicion, Dongfang Xuetong shrugged helplessly and revealed the truth. "Okay! Actually, I just said I was coming, but they were so hospitable that they insisted on giving me a floating island."
"That's right!"
Su Tanmeng affirmed, and Xiao Yao and Long Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.
Immediately afterward, Xiao Yao asked curiously, " Senior Disciple Master, could you introduce these seven Immortal Emperor to us? Only by knowing your enemy can you win every battle."
