【Night fell.】
【The Bai family was brightly lit. The head of the family was marrying off his sister, a top priority.】
【Everyone began to get busy.】
【In the boudoir, Bai Miaoling had finished her grooming and dressing. Looking at herself in the mirror, she revealed a satisfied smile.】
【After a flash of light, Bai Yuben’s figure suddenly appeared behind her.】
【Master, are you really going to marry that kid?】
【Bai Miaoling did not turn around, still examining herself in the mirror.】
【What? Is that not allowed?】
【Bai Yuben raised his head slightly, feeling a bit dazed.】
【Sixty years ago, when he first met Ye Yu, Bai Miaoling was actually there too.】
【In a strict sense, if it weren’t for Bai Miaoling’s orders, Bai Yuben would have certainly waited until Jiao Mandao killed Ye Yu before taking action.】
【What ambush? What fortunate one? All of those were just excuses from Bai Yuben.】
【Even later, when inviting Ye Yu into the Bai family, it was also Bai Miaoling’s intention.】
【Bai Yuben was baffled by all of this. He really couldn’t understand why Bai Miaoling was so concerned about Ye Yu.】
【Even more puzzling was why Bai Miaoling suddenly chose to marry him.】
【This morning too, Bai Yuben was completely unaware. What engagement with other families? He was completely in the dark.】
【Looking back now, it was probably a story concocted by the master herself, right?】
【But Master, can your identity really handle this?】
【After hesitating repeatedly, Bai Yuben quietly asked, May I ask why?】
【Bai Miaoling’s hand paused as she was combing her hair.】
【The next moment, a strange black mist suddenly penetrated Bai Yuben’s body.】
【He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his expression filled with agony.】
【Bai Miaoling said indifferently, What do you think you are? How dare you ask why?】
【Remember, you are just a dog I keep! And dogs don’t ask why, do you understand?】
【Bai Yuben struggled to get up, nodding repeatedly.】
【Bai Miaoling suddenly smiled.】
【Cheer up, don’t look so mournful. According to your mortal customs, today is a joyful day for me. As my brother, you must be happy!】
【Bai Yuben wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and quickly forced a smile.】
【Half an hour later, the wedding ceremony officially began.】
【Ye Yu and Bai Miaoling completed the marriage ceremony in front of the Bai family members.】
【After being sent to the bridal chamber, Ye Yu lifted Bai Miaoling’s bridal veil, finding her even more stunning.】
【He couldn’t help but feel that this dream experience was indeed somewhat smooth sailing. There were almost no setbacks.】
【It made Ye Yu feel a bit unaccustomed.】
【However, none of this mattered.】
【Because he had something more important to do!】
【That night, the battle was intense.】
【At 85 years old, Ye Yu had not yet broken through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Crossing realm, but he had already touched the edge, confident that it wouldn’t be long before he completed it.】
【In recent years, Ye Yu and Bai Miaoling had been inseparable, deeply in love. Life was quite joyful.】
【However, the only slight flaw was that the Bai family no longer had any new forbidden techniques for Ye Yu to learn.】
【More than twenty forbidden techniques, while considerable, there’s a saying: ‘More skills never hurt.’ The more, the better!】
【After all, the Heavenly Realm was an extremely dangerous place. Ye Yu did not want to be hasty again, like before, where he left after just a few careless days.】
【This time, he wanted to stay in the Heavenly Realm for a few hundred years.】
【So, Ye Yu asked Bai Miaoling if the Bai family really had no forbidden techniques left.】
【She shook her head, directly stating that forbidden techniques were inherently rare, most having perished in the long river of time. Finding these twenty-plus forbidden techniques was already quite challenging.】
【But if her husband wanted to continue searching for forbidden techniques, there was still a way!】
【Ye Yu quickly urged Bai Miaoling to elaborate.】
【However, she merely smiled mysteriously.】
【At midnight, we will meet at the Divine Binding River to discuss.】
【This made Ye Yu unable to hold back a chuckle.】
【It had been three years since they became Dao companions; what could be so secretive that it couldn’t be said openly? Why wait until midnight by the riverside?】
【My lady, you certainly have a flair for the dramatic!】
【The Divine Binding River was less than a hundred miles from the Bai family. With a sparse population and extreme tranquility, it was a great place for a rendezvous.】
【That night, Ye Yu arrived as promised. He found Bai Miaoling had already been waiting by the river.】
【The moonlight quietly spilled over her, as if draping her in a layer of silver gauze.】
【It had a very hazy feeling.】
【Ye Yu walked to Bai Miaoling’s side, slowly sitting down, and lightly said, My wife, you look truly beautiful tonight.】
【Bai Miaoling waved her hand to set up several barriers.】
【Then, quite seriously, she asked, Husband, have you ever thought about the future development of the Bai family?】
【Uh, is the topic so intense?】
【Wasn’t it agreed that today would be about discussing forbidden techniques? Why did it shift to future development?】
【However, since Bai Miaoling wanted to ask, Ye Yu naturally wouldn’t brush off her feelings.】
【He immediately replied that the current situation of the Bai family was already quite good. Sweeping across a vast area of ten thousand miles, renowned far and wide!】
【Bai Miaoling rested her head on Ye Yu’s shoulder, softly saying, Husband, being renowned far and wide is too small; why not, we conquer the entire Northern Desolate Continent?】
【At that time, we can gather all the forbidden techniques for you to see as much as you want. How about that!】
【Ye Yu glanced at Bai Miaoling; she was indeed the wife of this dream.】
【But why did it feel so intense? It was almost as if this sounded more like something Huangfu Baizhi would say?】
【Ye Yu awkwardly smiled: The world is vast, and many talented people abound. To conquer the entire Northern Desolate continent would undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties.】
【This answer left Bai Miaoling quite dissatisfied.】
【So she placed one hand on Ye Yu’s chest, softly saying, Husband, I don’t think it’s difficult. Moreover, what I truly desire is not just this continent, but the entire mortal realm.】
【Are you willing to help me?】
【Ye Yu frowned slightly.】
【Why does it seem like the more Bai Miaoling spoke, the more off it sounded?】
【Cultivators in the mortal realm regarded achieving the Great Dao and ascending to the Heavenly Realm as their lifelong ambition.】
【Thus, true great cultivators completely disregarded any mundane matters, focusing solely on ascending as soon as possible. How was Bai Miaoling different from others?】
【After all, she was also a Divine Transformation realm cultivator. While not too high, she should still be pursuing the Great Dao. It shouldn’t be about wanting to take over the entire world.】
【Such an ambition seemed a bit too novel.】
【To take over the entire mortal realm? Even cultivators at the late stage of Ascension might not be able to accomplish that!】
