Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Fangtian Halberd, Empowers Me with Filial Piety

Chapter 277 Deep Affection for Yun Ming? Angelic Sword Sheath!
"You say it."

Yun Ming glanced at his wife silently, a sense of unease rising in his heart for some reason.

Yali seems a little off today.

"Brother Ming!"

Yali gave her the same gentle smile as always, but there seemed to be something else hidden in that smile.

"Back in the Star Luo Continent, the Seed of Nature within Xiao Yi sprouted and actually gained healing abilities."

"On the way, I couldn't refuse the child, so I asked him to take a look at my old wound. To my surprise, it actually worked."

She paused, raised her eyes, and looked at Yun Ming with clear eyes.

"But... whenever I'm about to succeed, my essence inexplicably drains away."

"This is something that Ya Li can't figure out. She wants Brother Ming to take a look, or Brother Ming to get Elder Jin to take action?"

She looked quietly at Yun Ming in front of her, but her small hands were hidden in her sleeves, tightly gripping her sleeves.

Brother Ming, how would you answer?

"Really? That's great!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ming's face lit up with surprise, and his hands even trembled, but his heart suddenly tightened.

As expected, Yali noticed it.

Yun Ming felt a chill run down his spine, and for the first time, he felt a little flustered.

It was Jiang Yi!
He thought of that inexplicable life energy from before; no wonder it felt somewhat familiar.

So it came from that kid...

Really... sigh!

Yun Ming sighed inwardly, a hint of regret flashing in his eyes.

She shouldn't have had the idea of ​​taking this boy as her godson in the first place. Now look what's happened; she's actually sowing discord between the couple.

The two had been married for decades, and Ya-Li had never noticed anything about it before!

However, the current issue is to first dispel Yali's doubts.

His mind raced, but his face still wore a surprised smile. He took a few steps forward and excitedly grabbed Yali's hand.

"Great! Great! Xiao Yi is indeed our lucky star."

Yun Ming laughed loudly, his voice even trembling slightly.

At this moment, he didn't seem like the mighty Sky-Supporting Douluo who shook the continent, but rather like a husband who was happy for his wife.

This demeanor wasn't entirely an act.

He did love Yali. Back then, the signing of the life contract was also done on the whim of his teacher and his wife.

“Brother Ming…”

Yali looked at his undisguised excitement, her eyes flickered, and the doubts in her heart were overshadowed by the surge of emotion.

That's right... Brother Ming, why would he lie to himself?

His love for her is as clear as day.

"Yali! Don't worry, I will definitely help you recover."

Yunming held his wife's hand tightly in his palm, but then his face showed reluctance.

"However... I'm afraid I can't help Elder Jin either."

"Old Jin has already lost half of his essence and is currently in hibernation. We shouldn't disturb him."

He sighed deeply, hesitated, then finally revealed a determined look in his eyes and solemnly promised.

"However, for you, Yali, let alone pleading with Elder Jin, I would be willing to resign from my position as the Pavilion Master!"

"No, Brother Ming."

Yali hurriedly raised her hand to cover his lips, her eyes welling up with tears, and she was so moved that she burst into tears.

Ming-ge, you really do love me!
I shouldn't have had any doubts before.

“Brother Ming, Ya Li doesn’t care. I’m just afraid of becoming a burden to you.”

Yali's voice choked with sobs, her eyes reddened, and she looked up at her husband.

Her dependent and completely trusting gaze made Yun Ming's heart ache.

"No! Yali, I love you! How could you be a burden?"

"From the first moment I saw you, I swore that I would not seek to live with you, but only to die with you..."

Yun Ming held her hand, pressed it against his heart, and made a firm promise.

"If there truly is an afterlife, I, Yunming, will surely find you again, marry you, and be with you for all eternity." Yali could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face as she threw herself into her husband's arms.

"Brother Ming~"

"Yali~"

The two gazed deeply into each other's eyes, then embraced, their eyes filled with affection.

Feeling that gentle embrace, all of Ya Li's doubts vanished. How could Brother Ming possibly lie to her?

It must be my own problem!
"call!"

Yun Ming gently embraced his wife, feeling her slightly trembling shoulders, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally over.

However, he still felt a little guilty about his wife's unwavering trust.

But... Yali, I have no other choice.

The glory of Shrek Academy, with its two colleges and eighteen departments, as the top university on the continent, rests on my shoulders. I dare not back down even a step!
Moreover... their deep affection was built on that well-intentioned lie from the very beginning.

If the truth comes out, it will probably collapse in an instant.

This is also because I love you!
Yun Ming kept trying to convince himself.

Without the influence of the life contract, Yali, as an important successor of the Federation, would not be able to be with him.

The couple embraced tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats.

However, just as Yunming was feeling relieved, Yali suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Brother Ming~"

Yali lifted her head slightly from his embrace and looked tenderly at her husband.

"What's wrong, Yali?"

Yun Ming smiled and lowered his head, holding her hand tightly again, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand.

“That silly boy Xiao Yi has always wanted to help me, and he is also a filial son, but you know my situation.”

Yali shook her head, her smile tinged with helplessness.

That child was too sensible; she had seen all his efforts in this matter, making it difficult for her to refuse.

Xiao Yi thought that Brother Ming might be able to figure something out...

If it were that simple, Ming-ge would have cured her old ailment long ago, given the decades that had passed.

However, in order not to discourage the child, let Ming-ge give the child a try in the interview.

"Brother Ming, Xiao Yi wants to treat me in person again. He wants you to take a look and see where the problem lies."

Yali smiled, her eyes filled with doting affection.

“This child is persistent, but ultimately he is filial, Brother Ming, I think…”

"Yali!"

Yun Ming suddenly interrupted in a deep voice.

"Brother Ming?"

Yali was startled, a hint of panic and confusion flashing in her eyes.

What's going on here?
"It's nothing. I probably just had some problems with my cultivation recently. I've been feeling a bit down lately, and I lost my composure for a moment."

Yun Ming raised his hand and rubbed his temples, revealing a hint of fatigue.

But he secretly resented it; it was Jiang Yi again.

How come they're so good at handling things...

Back then, the Seed of Nature absorbed most of the life energy of the Golden Ancient Tree.

That kind of life force, if used for face-to-face treatment, would be impossible to hide.

But if I give up intervening, and Yali's essence recovers and breaks through to level 99, then I won't be able to control her anymore.

Although they are both at the limit, and their combat power differs, there is not much difference in their life level.

The reason he was able to condense a demigod position was essentially by using a life contract to condense faith in Yali and repair her divine position.

Only because the two share the same origin and are inseparable can he share the demigod position. This inspiration came from his ancestors Tang San and Xiao Wu.

Strictly speaking, he was merely the angel's sword sheath, but his cultivation was higher than Ya Li's, which allowed him to overthrow the Heavenly Gang.

Once Yali's cultivation level reaches the same level as his, everything will be out of his control.

He wasn't afraid of losing his demigod status, he was afraid of losing Yali!
