How to Make Da Bai Wholeheartedly Devoted

"Da Bai, I'll do my best. You may not believe me, but I truly love you," Lei Qi said with deep affection.

But the word "love" came so easily from his lips. No matter how one looked at it, it did not seem heartfelt.

Still, Lei Qi believed that with time, Yun Yun would understand his feelings.

Just as he was about to put those feelings into action, Zhang Yi's voice came from nearby. "Young Master, I have retrieved the Purple Spirit Crystal you requested."

Helplessly, Lei Qi could only restrain himself for the moment before saying, "Come over."

Yun Yun was wrapped in a black robe, so there was no danger of exposing anything. As for why she still wore it after recovering her Dou Qi, that was naturally because Lei Qi had deliberately instructed her to.

After all, he particularly loved that black robe.

"Buzz!"

The space warped, and Zhang Yi appeared before them.

Seeing the powerful expert suddenly appear, Yun Yun became somewhat nervous. She tightened her black robe as Dou Qi began to surge within her.

Lei Qi reassured her, "It's fine. He's my guard."

"G-guard!?" Yun Yun froze at his words.

Although Zhang Yi's aura carried no pressure, the fact that he stood in the air was enough to prove his strength. At the very least, he was a Dou Zong!

And such a powerful expert was merely a guard!?

"Young Master, this is the Purple Spirit Crystal you requested." Zhang Yi respectfully handed it over.

Lei Qi took the Purple Spirit Crystal with his free hand and said, "You may leave."

"Yes."

Zhang Yi answered and vanished in an instant.

In that moment, Yun Yun could no longer sense Zhang Yi's aura, and bitterness filled her heart once more.

Clearly, with a Dou Zong guard by his side and being such a young Dou Huang himself, Lei Qi's background was likely even more terrifying than she had imagined.

"Da Bai, don't overthink it. No matter what our relationship may become in the future, in my heart, you will always be my true wife," Lei Qi said again, comforting her.

Seeing Lei Qi's serious expression, Yun Yun lightly nodded in response.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Qi asked, "The teacher you mentioned before—his cultivation has supposedly reached the peak of Dou Huang, and he entered seclusion for a final breakthrough?"

"Yes. Teacher has been in seclusion for many years. I just don't know whether he can successfully cross that step." When Yun Yun mentioned Yun Shan, worry still showed on her face.

After all, Yun Shan was essentially Yun Yun's only family.

In the original world, why could anyone blame her for being torn between sides?

On one side was the man she had come to love after spending several days with him in a cave. On the other was Yun Shan, her teacher, who had raised and nurtured her like a father. She truly had no easy choice.

Still, without suffering another person's hardships, he was in no position to judge her.

At the very least, Yun Yun would not face such a choice with him.

After all, what the hell were Yun Shan and the Hall of Souls?

"Your teacher hasn't taken that step yet?" Lei Qi suddenly noticed an important point.

That was, Yun Yun's teacher, Yun Shan, had yet to cross that threshold. In other words, he was currently only an aging man at the peak of Dou Huang.

"Yes." Yun Yun nodded.

"Do you know about the Sect-Breaking Pill?" Lei Qi suddenly asked.

Since he wanted Yun Yun to believe that he loved her, it was not impossible to put in a little effort.

Besides, he had hundreds of all kinds of pills. Taking out one or two would not affect him in any way.

The more she owed him, the more wholeheartedly devoted she would become.

Status?

Would that still matter in the face of such a heavy debt of gratitude?

"I do. Y-you can obtain a Sect-Breaking Pill!?" Yun Yun looked at Lei Qi in surprise.

That was a peak sixth-grade pill. Not only was there no alchemist capable of refining a peak sixth-grade pill in the Jia Ma Empire, there was not one even in several nearby empires and regions!

"While my clan does not have any ninth-grade alchemists, we do have some eighth-grade alchemists," Lei Qi said with a smile.

The Thunder Clan really did have eighth-grade alchemists, though only a few. The strongest among them could only refine an eighth-grade pill that produced five-colored pill lightning.

Expectation appeared in Yun Yun's beautiful eyes. If she could truly keep her teacher alive, she felt that she could give everything.

Especially when this person was also someone she liked.

"I'll return to my clan. Don't worry—within a few months, I guarantee that I'll personally deliver the pill you need to the Cloud Sect," Lei Qi said.

He did not take it out immediately. If he gave her too much sweetness in too short a time, it would not be good.

Although he did not think Yun Yun was the kind of woman who would change after being fed too much, moving someone's heart had to be done in stages.

Hearing what Lei Qi said, Yun Yun felt that even obtaining such a pill for him would not be easy. Yet she could not bring herself to tell him simply to do his best. Instead, she took the initiative to press herself against him.

Perhaps this was the only thing she could do.

The two embraced and kissed, and before they knew it, they had entered the cave once more.

That night, Lei Qi once again sank into a sea of cotton, unable to free himself.

The next morning.

Yun Yun left first. She did not refine pills here; she returned to her sect.

To be safe, Lei Qi had Zhang Yi accompany Yun Yun, mainly because he did not want anyone from the Hall of Souls coming here to ruin things.

Zhang Yi had hesitated at first, but Lei Qi said that he would later make a trip to the Cloud Sect. Left with no choice, Zhang Yi could only follow Yun Yun away.

In truth, Zhang Yi was somewhat confused. What danger could there possibly be in a place like the Cloud Sect?

In a small place like the Jia Ma Empire, the Cloud Sect was an absolute behemoth.

Still, since his master had arranged it, he naturally had to obey.

After Yun Yun left, Lei Qi also returned to the basin within the Beast Mountain Range.

The moment Cao Ying saw Lei Qi return, she practically threw herself at him.

If it had been before, Cao Ying's attack as a little seductress would truly have left him burning with desire.

But now?

Those soft little hills could no longer stir much of a reaction in him.

"Young Master~ Where have you been these past few days?" Cao Ying asked as she clung to Lei Qi.

She was clearly his maid, yet look how spoiled she had become—she was even questioning his whereabouts.

But Cao Ying had her own special qualities, so he still indulged her. "I merely sensed a spiritual land suitable for my cultivation and stayed there for a few days."

After casually making up a lie, Lei Qi added, "Let's go. We're making a trip to the Tagore Desert."

"The Tagore Desert!?"

Little Fairy Doctor became slightly nervous upon hearing that and hurriedly said, "Young Master, the Tagore Desert is the territory of the Snake-People Clan. The Snake-Peple Clan has many powerful experts."

"I know. This time, we're going to the Snake-People Clan. According to some records I saw in ancient books, the Snake-People Clan's Queen Medusa possesses a certain potential. If she succeeds, she can evolve into an ancient ferocious beast," Lei Qi said.

Little Fairy Doctor did not really understand.

As for Cao Ying, she only said that she wanted to follow Lei Qi and that he could not leave her behind.

Yang Ji, on the other hand, was curious about where Zhang Yi had been sent.

It was not that he cared where Zhang Yi went. Rather, it was obvious that Zhang Yi had received a special assignment from Lei Qi. If he handled it well, would he not become one of Lei Qi's trusted confidants in the future???

As the saying went, wherever there were people, there was competition. That was absolutely true.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. It has been detected that Yun Yun is pregnant. Would you like to claim the reward?]
