I am an incredibly handsome man, and my fiancée refuses to call off the engagement even at the cost

Gu Yan told Mu Qinghe a lot of things, and Mu Qinghe also told Gu Yan a lot of things about himself.

Gu Yan inquired about Liu Feiyan and Xu Ruolan's situations and was happy to learn that they were both capable of handling things independently. As for Mo Fanqi, he was much more reliable than before, and Mu Qinghe had corrected many of his bad habits.

"Those two girls still can't forget you," Mu Qinghe teased Gu Yan.

Gu Yan immediately changed the subject, saying that he had far too many unwanted romantic advances.

"By the way, Tan Yue has been searching for your whereabouts all these years. I told him that you are now on another continent, the Peerless King of the Tianyang Empire, one of the five great empires of the Yulan Continent." Mu Qinghe suddenly brought up Tan Yue. "After he found out, he left. A thousand years ago, he left the Ruohe Empire, and it's been over a thousand years since I've seen him. I wonder where he is now?"

Tan Yue...

Oh dear, Gu Yan suddenly remembered her apprentice.

The apprentice he forcibly took in taught him almost nothing, and then completely forgot about him...

But that guy probably doesn't really want to see me. He'd be more than happy if I didn't show up, since he actually came all the way here to find out where I am.

Because Mu Qinghe mentioned Tan Yue, Gu Yan spread her divine sense to search for Tan Yue's whereabouts.

He was surprised to discover that Tan Yue was currently in the Endless Sea and was engaged in a fierce battle.

Hey, this guy's in a bad situation!

Gu Yan said to Mu Qinghe, "I'll be right back."

After saying that, he disappeared right in front of Mu Qinghe.

On the sea, a handsome man with black hair and a black robe is fighting with a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in black gauze.

The woman in the black gauze dress had long, curly red hair and fair skin with fish-scale-like markings. Every gesture she made exuded a subtle allure. With a gentle wave of her hand, thin red threads shot towards the black-haired, black-robed man.

While dodging at high speed, the man used his long sword to cut the incoming red threads.

Suddenly, the stunningly beautiful woman waved her hand, and a red handprint emerged, crackling with crimson lightning. Its appearance caused the entire sea to tremble violently. The black-haired man in black robes brandished his longsword, unleashing streaks of purple light, but he couldn't break the incoming handprint. Struck by it, he plummeted into the sea.

boom!

A terrifying tsunami erupted in the ocean.

However, a purple light soon shot out from the depths of the sea, and a disheveled man appeared in the sky, glaring at the stunning woman dressed in black with gritted teeth.

The black-haired, black-robed man was none other than Tan Yue, and the woman fighting with Tan Yue was also an old acquaintance of Gu Yan. She was the late-stage Spirit Saint expert named Lin Lang who had kidnapped Gu Yan in front of Dugu Xun.

Tan Yue was currently at the early stage of the Spirit Saint realm. He wanted to cross the Endless Sea to reach the Jade Wave Continent, but he encountered Lin Lang there. Lin Lang, always a womanizer, saw that Tan Yue was handsome and became lustful, wanting to kidnap him to use as a cultivation vessel. Tan Yue, of course, refused, so the two of them started fighting.

Linlang possessed the strength of a late-stage Spirit Saint, and the two were separated by two minor realms. Tan Yue was no match for Linlang, and the only reason he hadn't been defeated was because of his high health and extremely fast recovery ability; even after being severely injured, he could quickly regain his health. Linlang also noticed this, which made her even happier. By taking this guy back, she no longer needed any other cultivation vessels.

With such a fast recovery ability, it can be reused.

She tied the guy to her bed, so he could never get out of bed again.

"Hey, hey, stop resisting and come with me obediently, okay? It hurts me as much as you hurt me. Am I not good enough for you with my beauty?" Linlang said sweetly.

Tan Yue looked at her and said coldly, "Shameless vixen!"

"You're asking for it!!" Linlang lost her patience. A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and countless blue magic circles appeared behind her, from which countless blue light swords shot out.

Like a torrential rain of lightsabers, they hurtled towards Tan Yue. Tan Yue shouted, and the longsword in her hand burst forth with a dazzling purple light. Within the intense light, a purple Qilin appeared, heading towards the rain of lightsabers.

Boom boom boom—

The deafening roar echoed continuously over the sea.

Suddenly, the seawater surged up, and the waves transformed into giant sharks that attacked Tan Yue. Tan Yue used his supernatural powers to disperse all the attacking sharks, but he was struck by a palm strike from Lin Lang, who suddenly appeared behind him. Tan Yue immediately vomited blood; his internal organs were shattered by the blow, and countless bones were broken.

Red threads wrapped around Tan Yue's hands and feet, binding him to the sky.

Tan Yue, who was seriously injured, struggled desperately but could not break free.

The sea breeze was biting, making Tan Yue's long hair fly wildly and his robes flutter. He gritted his teeth, his muscles bulging from the exertion, trying to break free of those damned restraints.

"Break it... for me!"

Tan Yue let out a low roar, and the remaining spiritual energy around him suddenly erupted, tearing several of the thin red threads apart. However, in just an instant, more red light surged out from the void, not only instantly filling the gap but also tightening it even further.

Just then, a graceful figure appeared, stepping through the air with each step creating lotus blossoms.

That's Linlang.

Looking at the man struggling desperately in mid-air, yet helpless, Linlang couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells.

She floated slowly to Tan Yue's side, extended her slender fingers, and gently traced Tan Yue's taut jawline caused by anger. Her fingertips were icy cold, sending a shiver down Tan Yue's spine.

"Oh dear," Linlang's voice was so sweet it seemed to drip with honey, her eyes full of teasing, "Why are you so excited? You little rascal, can't you just stay still for a while?"

She leaned closer, her red lips slightly parted, her breath sweet and fragrant, her warm breath brushing against Tan Yue's ear: "Don't worry, I'm not going to eat you, hehe~"

She said that, but she had already pressed herself against Tan Yue's strong body, wanting to absorb his power. Just as her red lips were about to touch Tan Yue, an extremely terrifying pressure descended.

This oppressive force descended upon the endless sea, causing all living things in the entire sea area to tremble in that instant. The sea breeze seemed to freeze, and the entire world seemed to bow down to it.

Linlang's pupils widened suddenly, and her heart almost stopped for a moment.

There was no other reason than that the pressure was simply too terrifying, as if it could crush her primordial spirit in an instant.

A figure was reflected in Tan Yue's bound pupils, and she froze, unable to believe it.
