Dire News!

Unable to fuse the two True Fire, Song Wen didn't dwell on it further. Instead, he began refining Death-Substitute Puppet and focusing on cultivating the "Myriad Poisons Primordial Body."

Since the greatest threat in the Fengdu Poison Sea is the poisonous miasma, the "Myriad Poisons Primordial Body" is the best way to save one's life.

Fortunately, Song Wen has never neglected his practice of this Cultivation Method over the years. However, the highly poisonous substances required are hard to find, so his practice is inevitably intermittent.

Four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Well!"

Suddenly, a Song Wen came from the side room.

Over the past four years, he has crafted dozens of Death-Substitute Puppet, but he has run out of the highly poisonous substances needed to cultivate the "Myriad Poisons Primordial Body".

Song Wen got up, paced around the room a few times, and suddenly waved his hand to open the door.

"It's about time I went to see Bai Jinge. After all, I promised to see her when I had some free time."

Before the murmurs had subsided, Song Wen had vanished without a trace.

Central Mu City.

In the Detached Courtyard of a teahouse.

Song Wen looked at Bai Jinge as she pushed open the door and entered, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

"Miss Bai... you've actually advanced to the Lingxu Dao Immortal!"

Song Wen addressed her as "Miss Bai" because Hu Rui was following behind Bai Jinge Jingge.

Bai Jinge slightly raised her chin, her long neck straight and proud, like a phoenix.

"That's natural."

After saying that, she waved to Hu Rui behind her.

"Elder Hu, please don't go into the courtyard. Just wait outside."

Hu Rui, who was about to step into the hospital, hesitated noticeably, but finally responded respectfully.

"Yes, miss."

Bai Jinge turned around and closed the courtyard gate, her expression instantly turning resentful.

"Extreme Yin, you haven't come to see me for a full fourteen years."

Song Wen stepped forward, gently took Bai Jinge's hands, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"I've been busy with my cultivation. Besides, I haven't seen you for so many years, and I've been missing you day and night!"

Who knows if you've been thinking about her?

Although Bai Jinge's words revealed dissatisfaction, the resentment on her face had vanished, replaced by shyness and sweetness.

Song Wen pulled Bai Jinge toward the stone table in the courtyard, saying as he did so.

"Tell me quickly, how did you advance to the Lingxu Dao Immortal so quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Jinge was pressed down onto a stool next to the stone table by Song Wen then sat down opposite her. However, Song Wen never let go of Bai Jinge's right hand, still holding it tightly across the stone table.

Bai Jinge said, "Over the years, you haven't come to see me, and I've also refrained from seeing you, all while cultivating. Now it seems that all my efforts haven't been in vain. From now on, like you, I will no longer be troubled by the limitations of lifespan."

"This is a joyous occasion, and I should offer my congratulations. Unfortunately... I was unaware of it beforehand, and my arrival was so rushed that I was unable to prepare any gifts for you," Song Wen said with a blush.

"Extreme Yin, I am already overjoyed that you have come to see me; no gifts are needed." Bai Jinge's love was overflowing.

"I still want the gift. I'll definitely make it up to you next time," Song Wen said.

"Okay, then I'll wait." Bai Jinge nodded happily.

At this point, the two fell silent for a moment.

Bai Jinge seemed to suddenly remember something, and timidity and apology appeared in her eyes.

"Extreme Yin, there is something I did without your consent, and I only hope you will not blame me."

"Don't worry, no matter what happened, I won't blame you." Song Wen made this vow with conviction, determined to portray the character's deep affection well.

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinge's expression brightened.

"That's good. I've already told Father about our matter. I was worried that you'd be angry if I told Father before discussing it with you..."

Song Wen had no interest in listening to what Bai Jinge was saying next and hurriedly asked a question.

"Jinge, what did you tell your father?"

Bai Jinge, "I always said that we are mutually in love, and we wish to spend our lives together, never to let each other down."

"And what was your father's reaction?" Song Wen asked again.

"My father... hasn't made any statement." Bai Jinge's words were somewhat evasive, clearly indicating that he was hiding something.

"Does your father know my specific identity?" Song Wen asked.

"My father did ask, but he didn't seem to agree to our relationship, so I didn't reveal your identity," Bai Jinge said.

Upon hearing this, Song Wen broke out in a cold sweat, his inner lining instantly becoming soaked.

If Bai Jinge's father wanted to know her identity, there were essentially two ways: one was to have someone investigate Bai Jinge's past and find out which men she had had intimate contact with; the other was to have someone keep a close watch on Bai Jinge...

Could it be that a large number of spies from the Purple Star Immortal Sect have gathered outside the teahouse and this Detached Courtyard right now?

However, Bai Jinge had been here for some time, but Bai Jinge father had not yet appeared. Could it be that he didn't want to deal with her in front of his daughter, and planned to wait until Bai Jinge were separated before making his move?

In an instant, a myriad of ominous thoughts flashed through Song Wen's mind.

"Extreme Yin, what's wrong? Your palms are sweaty!" Bai Jinge noticed that Song Wen's hand holding hers was covered in cold sweat. "Are you worried that my father might harm you because he doesn't approve of our relationship? You can rest assured, I have clearly told my father that if he dares to do anything to you, I will take my own life and will never let you go to the Netherworld alone."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen felt no relief whatsoever; on the contrary, his fear intensified.

Any father who heard Bai Jinge's words would probably not want to grant her wish, but would only want to kill that arrogant brat who seduced his daughter.

Song Wen was filled with remorse. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have come to see Bai Jinge today in order to find out the method of True Fire Fusion and the deadly poison for cultivating the "Myriad Poisons Primordial Body".

No! He shouldn't have appeared before Bai Jinge after his initial arrival in Central Mu City. If he had severed ties with her then, Bai Jinge wouldn't have been able to find him, and this disaster wouldn't have happened.

But what's done is done, and regret is useless now.

The only chance to save their lives Bai Jinge, who is standing right in front of them.

Only by showing that he would marry no one but her and making her devoted to him could he make her father have some reservations.

Tears welled up in Song Wen's eyes, a mixture of emotion and deep affection.

"Jinge, for my sake, you actually defied your father. How fortunate I am! But I am also filled with fear, afraid of betraying your sincere heart."

"Extreme Yin, as long as you don't blame me for reporting this to Father without my permission, I'll be satisfied. As for Father, I'll persuade him myself and will never let him harm you in the slightest," Bai Jinge said.

"Yes." Song Wen nodded emphatically. "Jinge, I trust you, and I also believe that your father is not someone who indiscriminately kills innocent people."
