CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 517: YUN XIAO’S BREAKTHROUGH

The Supreme God Sovereign suppressed his aura and secretly hid outside the loft.

He stood on a lush tree canopy, the dense foliage concealing his figure, which wavered between the illusory and the real.

Gazing at the loft, a fanatical glint shone in the Supreme God Sovereign’s eyes.

Almost there! Almost! the Supreme God Sovereign muttered to himself.

His eyes shone brightly, as if a rare treasure was about to emerge from the loft into the world.

Although his cultivation base was extremely high, the Supreme God Sovereign had suppressed his aura. However, he was unaware that his presence had already caught Ye Yun’s attention.

「Inside the loft.」

Ye Yun quietly waited for a while, noticing that the Supreme God Sovereign showed no signs of leaving.

A steely-faced Yun Xiao was now sitting on the bed, expressionlessly watching Ye Yun.

A hint of confusion seemed to emanate from her gaze, as if to ask: If you know what to do... why aren’t you proceeding?

Naturally, Ye Yun understood the faint complaint in Yun Xiao’s eyes.

However, with that old pervert lurking outside, he naturally couldn’t take action.

After some thought, Ye Yun sighed and stepped outside.

He stood at the doorway, looking towards the large tree with a calm expression, without uttering a word.

After all, the Supreme God Sovereign was Yun Xiao’s master, so Ye Yun had to show him some deference.

Strange, why did this guy come out? It’s said that a fleeting spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold; shouldn’t he be consummating things with Yun Xiao now? Peering through the gaps in the leaves, the Supreme God Sovereign looked at Ye Yun, dressed in white, an incredulous expression on his face.

Ye Yun did not move. After a few moments,

This guy... could he have seen me? But that’s impossible! He’s only at the Second Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm, and I’m a powerhouse at the Half-step Divine King Realm! The Supreme God Sovereign grew impatient, his facial muscles twitching.

Ye Yun remained unmoving, his gaze fixed on the Supreme God Sovereign. Suddenly, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips.

If this old pervert doesn’t leave, I might really have to chase him away, Ye Yun thought.

Seeing the smile on Ye Yun’s lips, the Supreme God Sovereign felt more uneasy.

But his arrogance prevented him from revealing himself.

Deep down, the Supreme God Sovereign still believed that Ye Yun could not possibly see him.

If a mere Demon Clan cultivator at the Second Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm could see him, then his hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation would have truly been for nothing.

Yun Xiao walked over to the doorway.

"Long Yunzi, why have you not begun yet?"

"Go back and wait for me first. I’ll take a breather out here and gather my strength," Ye Yun said, flashing a smile.

He suddenly discovered that Yun Xiao was somewhat impatient.

Could my new appearance really be that attractive? Or has my great strength conquered Yun Xiao’s aloof heart? After some thought, Ye Yun felt these reasons were unlikely. How could Yun Xiao, who cultivates the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path, have such psychological reactions? Impossible!

Yun Xiao’s unusual behavior made a hint of caution rise in Ye Yun’s heart.

Having heard Ye Yun’s words, Yun Xiao silently nodded, turned around to return to the room, and sat down on the bed.

Ye Yun looked towards the direction of the large tree and waved at the Supreme God Sovereign.

I’m being so obvious; this old fellow should understand what I mean, right? Ye Yun thought.

This guy actually discovered me! How did he do it? In that instant, the Supreme God Sovereign’s eyes widened, immense shock filling his face, and his heart was battered by tumultuous waves of astonishment.

That Long Yunzi, a mere cultivator at the Second Layer of the Divine Sovereign Realm, could actually detect him was simply inconceivable.

"HUMPH!" The Supreme God Sovereign’s face turned livid. He swayed slightly and instantly disappeared from the tree.

Seeing the Supreme God Sovereign leave, Ye Yun shook his head with a smile and turned back into the loft.

He casually set up a restriction in the room to prevent the Supreme God Sovereign from spying.

"Jade Heavenly Venerable, you look very much like a friend of mine..." Ye Yun stood in front of Yun Xiao, tentatively asking.

"Really? What does this have to do with our wedding night...?" Yun Xiao lifted her head, her gaze cold as she looked at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun felt a pang in his heart and couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

The Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path has truly harmed Yun Xiao. No matter how I try to prompt her now, it’s difficult for her to regain her former memories. That part of her memory has been completely obliterated.

"It’s time for the wedding night. Since you understand, I will cooperate," Yun Xiao said, suddenly standing up.

Ye Yun didn’t know what to say.

Could it be... all of this was orchestrated by the Supreme Divine Monarch behind the scenes? Otherwise, how could Yun Xiao, normally so aloof, be so insistent on carrying out the duties of the wedding night? What is the mystery here? Although Ye Yun hadn’t figured it out yet, he didn’t particularly care.

Even though the Supreme God Sovereign was a powerhouse at the Half-step Divine King Realm, Ye Yun wasn’t afraid of him.

Ye Yun reached out, gently caressing Yun Xiao’s cold face, feeling a bone-deep chill transfer through her skin.

"You’ve suffered," Ye Yun sighed, sorrow in his heart, as his hands rested on Yun Xiao’s body.

Later that night, the world outside was pitch black, with the occasional call of an unknown bird echoing from the valley.

"Hmm?" Ye Yun’s heart suddenly leaped.

He was surprised to find Yun Xiao’s silver eyes beginning to radiate light. Her body, like a massive pump, frantically began to draw energy from his.

If an ordinary cultivator were subjected to such absorption, they would likely become extremely weak.

But Ye Yun had the Ancestral Dragon Body; this kind of absorption didn’t affect him in the slightest.

Ye Yun remained outwardly calm. He had some suspicions but still needed proof.

If he could assist Yun Xiao and help her achieve a breakthrough, Ye Yun was willing to be a stepping stone.

Yun Xiao’s aura grew increasingly powerful, seemingly approaching the threshold of the Divine Sovereign Realm.

Ye Yun had a smile on his face.

As expected... This martial competition to recruit a groom, it was all planned. Was it solely for Yun Xiao to break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm through this method of dual cultivation? But couldn’t Yun Xiao also break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm by steadily cultivating the Supreme Forgetting Emotions Path? Is it really necessary to use such a method for a quick breakthrough?

Ye Yun was puzzled but decided to wait and see what Yun Xiao would be like after her breakthrough.

The time it took for an incense stick to burn passed.

A loud BANG resounded from within Yun Xiao’s body, and a powerful force abruptly sent Ye Yun flying.

Ye Yun didn’t resist, allowing the force to send him smashing into the restriction barrier before he bounced back onto the ground.

Yun Xiao stood up and, with a swift movement, donned her cyan dress once more.

"Master was right. This method... is indeed the quickest way to break through to the Divine Sovereign Realm!"

Yun Xiao glanced at Ye Yun, who lay on the ground, then walked out expressionlessly.

So it really was that old fellow, the Supreme God Sovereign, who taught Yun Xiao this method, Ye Yun thought with a bitter smile as he stood up from the ground.

He looked towards the head of the bed. A crimson peony lay there.

Not plucked one hundred thousand years ago.

Who would have thought that one hundred thousand years later, Ye Yun would encounter Yun Xiao under such circumstances.

Truly, fate makes fools of mortals.
