Night is falling.

The once magnificent and opulent bedchamber was now a scene of utter chaos.

The night breeze seeped in through the cracks in the palace doors, carrying the chill of the mountain peak, causing the curtains rolled up beside the couch to flutter silently.

"Brother Wudao~ I was wrong~"

On the bed, your little face was flushed, and you curled up in a ball, trying to squeeze into the boy's arms to prevent him from making any further moves.

"Heh~ Weren't you quite capable during the day?"

[Gu Wudao also had a distinct pale blue mark on his forehead.]

[Hmm... because of your complaint, that sensible old woman lightly flicked him on the forehead. The way this young master of the demonic path flew out was hardly graceful...]

[Pfft~]

Thinking back to that scene, you couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

She quickly covered her mouth, stiffly tilting her head back to meet a pair of extremely dangerous eyes.

"Brother Wudao~ Husband~ I really didn't mean it."

You're about to cry.

At this moment, I felt a sense of powerlessness similar to when I first entered the world of cultivation and faced Su Yu.

Looking at the beautiful woman nestled obediently in his arms, a fawning smile plastered on her face, Gu Wudao suddenly found that his anger simply wouldn't rise.

[Thinking back to your exceptionally captivating appearance not long ago, the young man's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but he quickly concealed the strange light in his eyes.]

Although Gu Wudao hasn't known you for very long, he believes he understands your personality quite well.

Even if you did something wrong during the day, you definitely wouldn't just obediently surrender like this.

That leaves only one possibility...

Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of ulterior motives or theft.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Husband, how could you think of me like that?"

You've put on a masterful performance, making full use of your current vulnerable demeanor in an attempt to break down their psychological defenses.

Unfortunately, Young Master Gu has already seen through your true nature.

"Fine, don't tell me then."

His eyes twitched slightly upwards, giving the impression that he wanted to leave.

【"Buzz~!"】

The next moment, a white jade slip floated out.

"Husband, I'd like you to take a look at this martial arts technique."

You silently jotted down another note in your notebook, then, not daring to delay any longer, quickly took out the "Ultimate Return to Nothingness Manual" that you had copied beforehand.

Gu Wudao became slightly interested and lightly touched the jade slip with his fingertip.

A moment later, he slowly opened his eyes, his gaze towards you carrying a subtle undertone.

"Are you sure you want to practice this technique?"

"Is there something wrong?"

Looking at his strange gaze, you felt a little scared, so you reached out and wrapped your arms around his neck, your voice soft and sweet:

"Husband~ Don't bully me~"

If you bully me again, I'm calling for backup!

"It's not inappropriate."

Gu Wudao seemed to thoroughly enjoy your posture. He paused for a long time, waiting for a resolute determination to fight to the death to gradually appear in your eyes before slowly speaking:

"The Ultimate Return to Nothingness Technique requires mastering all five attributes of Golden Core stage techniques to their ultimate level before it can be fully mastered."

"The ultimate realm, in the cultivation world, also has another name: the Creation Realm."

A rough, large hand rested on your side. You stiffened slightly, but managed to stay composed, waiting for him to continue.

"Reaching this level isn't exactly difficult, but it's also incredibly easy; some people never achieve it in their entire lives."

Hearing your words is like hearing a profound conversation.

Looking at Gu Wudao's smug, self-satisfied expression, you gritted your teeth inwardly.

You know, if I don't offer something today, this kid probably won't say another word.

You take a deep breath and slowly raise your hand, as if resigned to your fate.

The heavy curtains fell again, obscuring the intertwined figures on the couch, and also concealing the enchanting spring light that filled the room...

【...】

[Six months later.]

You lean lazily against the attic windowsill, holding a yellowed ancient book in your hands.

A pure white dress draped loosely over her shoulders, its neckline slightly open, revealing a glimpse of her fair, jade-like collarbone.

A single silver ribbon cinched her waist; as a gentle breeze stirred, the fabric clung to her body, outlining her slender figure.

The afternoon sunlight slanted in, as if gilding you with a layer of gold, making you appear even more ethereal and handsome.

[A series of unhurried footsteps suddenly came from downstairs.]

You don't need to look up to know who it is.

Soon, a tall figure appeared at the top of the stairs, one hand resting on the doorframe, standing quietly without moving.

You could clearly sense that his gaze momentarily lost in thought.

The slight upturn of your lips, the growing affection over time, and the occasional displays of "novelty" you've been showing—it seems to have had some effect.

You casually turn a page of the book, without even looking up.

"Old Gu, staring at a woman like that is very ungentlemanly."

Before the words were finished, a flash of light appeared before their eyes.

You still couldn't see how he moved, and the ancient book in your hand was snatched away and casually set aside.

The next instant, you felt a tightness around your waist as someone pulled you into their arms.

Oh dear, what a terrible thing to do!

You sighed helplessly to yourself.

There are always people better than me, and heavens beyond heavens. When will I, Lin Qingyu, be able to roam freely and invincible, instead of whimpering in a man's arms?

"Waaaaah~ My husband is bullying me."

You naturally moved closer to the boy's chest.

[But given his pitiful state, if Gu Wudao doesn't come up with a million spirit crystals today, this matter probably won't be easily resolved.]

"People from the Listening Snow Pavilion have arrived."

Gu Wudao was already used to this. He swept you up in his arms and strode down from the pavilion.

【"Listening Snow Pavilion..."】

[You almost forgot, those young men and women still owe you a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Frost Lotus.]

"Wait, put me down first!"

"Gu Wudao, don't I have any shame?"

"Ah!!! You wait, I'm going to tell Mother right now!"
