The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

Lin Yi and Ji Ziyue entered Biyun City quietly.

Under the management of his third uncle, Lin Zhengyun, and with the resources provided by Lin Yi, the Lin family has become a completely different family than before.

The mansion was expanded, and the number of disciples increased, allowing them to finally establish a firm foothold in Biyun City.

Upon seeing his third uncle, Lin Yi cut to the chase, saying, "Third Uncle, we can't stay here any longer."

"The Great Chu Dynasty and the Soul Palace have their eyes on me; they will make their move against the Lin family sooner or later."

"Gather all your direct descendants and come with me to the Dan Ding Sect."

Lin Zhengyun nodded, "Don't worry, Yi'er, I'll make the arrangements right away."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his third uncle turn around and get back to work.

Only by moving the Lin family to the Dan Ding Sect and placing them under his own nose could he act freely against the Soul Palace.

After settling his clansmen in, Lin Zhengyun's expression turned serious. "Yi'er, there are some things you should know."

"Your mother should still be alive! She likely knows the inside story of your father's death."

"Mother?!"

Lin Yi's mind went blank for a moment.

He tried desperately to recall, but could only grasp at a blurry shadow.

In his past life, he was an orphan and had never experienced what maternal love was.

Since fate has allowed him to be reborn into this body, he must accept this karma.

"Third Uncle, where is my mother?"

Lin Zhengyun shook his head. "I don't know!"

"After your mother gave birth to you, she was forcibly taken away by people from her clan."

"Your father's death is probably also related to this matter."

He looked at the pendant around Lin Yi's neck. "This pendant was left to you by your mother before she passed away."

Lin Yi gripped the pendant tightly, his heart jolting.

The Spirit Spring Space, such a heaven-defying treasure, was actually left behind by my mother?

"Your mother suffered a lot to save you."

Lin Zhengyun's voice was a little hoarse, "The fact that the Lin family has been able to hold on until today is also the result of her working behind the scenes."

Lin Yi fell silent, his heart filled with both bitterness and resentment.

Lin Zhengyun patted him on the shoulder, "I'm telling you this not so you can do anything right now."

"It's not too late to find out the truth when you're truly powerful."

Lin Yi nodded emphatically. "I swear, I will find my mother, find out the cause of my father's death, and make those enemies pay for their crimes in blood!"

Lin Yi instructed Ji Ziyue to escort the Lin family to the Dan Ding Sect, while he himself would not return for the time being due to Sima Liuying's threat.

Lin Zhengyun's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Ziyue. He patted Lin Yi on the back and laughed, "Good lad! This girl is as beautiful as a fairy!"

Ji Ziyue blushed and quickly bowed, "Junior Ji Ziyue greets Third Uncle."

Lin Zhengyun grinned from ear to ear, "Good, good, good, from now on we're family!"

Lin Yiqian chuckled twice, thinking that when his third uncle arrived at the Dan Ding Sect and saw all the women in the sect, his jaw would probably drop in astonishment.

In the days that followed, Lin Yi's name spread throughout the entire Southern Region.

He defeated the old demon corpse, deposed Emperor Chu Xiu of the Great Chu, and killed Master Kang Le of the Brahma Temple.

Even Sima Liuying, who was in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, was so angry that he jumped up and down, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

Lin Yi became a living example of a Foundation Establishment cultivator achieving a comeback.

His miraculous body was rumored to be incredibly powerful, with people saying that sleeping with him would allow one to break through to a higher realm.

Some people even fabricated stories about him and Ruan Qingshuang, making them so detailed that Lin Yi himself almost believed them.

Lin Yi changed his appearance and wandered around the mortal city.

That day, he was listening to music in a brothel.

The girls in the building weren't highly educated, but they were all incredibly charming and spoke in a sickeningly sweet voice.

Lin Yi held his wine glass, watching the girls dancing on the stage, feeling a strong urge to join in.

"How about finding a girl to relax with? Since we can't go back anyway, let's just treat it as training."

I'm still hesitating...

boom!

A terrifying pressure of divine sense descended from the sky, pinning him to the spot!

Lin Yi was unable to move; even his spiritual energy had solidified.

A seductive, alluring voice suddenly drifted over: "You little rascal, you think I can't find you just because you're hiding?"

"Your illusion technique might fool Golden Core cultivators, but it's as conspicuous as a lantern in the dark in front of me."

It's Sima Liuying!

Lin Yi's face turned deathly pale, and he inwardly wailed, "It's all over, all over, all over!"

"I should have stayed hidden in the spiritual spring space! Why couldn't I control my lust?!"

The next second, everyone in the brothel was so shocked by the oppressive force that they were forced to lie on the ground, unable to move.

Lin Yi felt his body tighten, as if he were being gripped by an invisible hand.

In a flash, I was forcibly abducted!

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in a luxurious flower boat.

This flower boat is like a moving palace.

Carved beams and painted rafters, pavilions and towers, all complete.

Sima Liuying leaned lazily against the soft couch, a playful smile on her exquisite face.

She extended her slender finger and gently tapped Lin Yi.

Lin Yi immediately felt as if his dantian had been locked, and all his spiritual power was instantly sealed off!

He tried to communicate with the spiritual spring space, but his spiritual senses were like a stone sinking into the sea, receiving no response at all.

A chill ran through me: I'm doomed, this time I'm truly at their mercy!

Sima Liuying's red lips curled slightly. "Now, let's see where you can run now, sister!"

Lin Yi's face was ashen.

In the end, he still couldn't escape the old hag's grasp!

……

the other side.

Inside the Danding Sect.

Upon learning that Lin Yi was safe and sound, Ye Qingwan finally felt relieved.

She looked at Ji Ziyue, who had come to report, and asked, "Ziyue, are you sure that guy is really alright?"

Ji Ziyue smiled and said, "Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Lin Yi is tough as nails. When it comes to suffering losses, he's always the one who makes others suffer."

Ye Qingwan snorted softly, "Indeed, I worried for nothing."

"This guy's ability to escape has become incredibly refined."

Meanwhile, in the skies above the southern region.

A magnificent flower boat is leisurely sailing among the clouds.

Many carefully selected maids, each with a beautiful appearance, stood on the flower boat.

In their spare time, they whispered among themselves, "Did you hear? Lin Yi, that guy with the Panacea Body, was captured by Madam!"

"Really? That would be terrible for him! I heard being a furnace cauldron is exhausting..."

"Shh! Keep your voice down! But with a woman as beautiful as that lady, I think that boy just had a stroke of good luck with women!"

The maids covered their mouths and chuckled softly.

Inside the top-floor bedroom of the flower boat.

Lin Yi, looking utterly hopeless, handed the peeled spirit fruit to Sima Liuying's lips.

"Little Yiyi, I'm getting a little tired."

Sima Liuying lay languidly on the soft couch.

Lin Yi was cursing inwardly, but he had a smile on his face and went behind her to start massaging her shoulders.

"Sister Liuying, this unique technique of mine is called a massage, and it's incredibly effective at clearing the meridians!"

Sima Liuying smiled slightly. "Oh? Then I'll see what you're capable of."

Recently.

Lin Yi swallowed his anger and endured the hardship without complaint!

His cultivation was completely sealed, so he could only work as a full-time male servant, serving this old hag in all sorts of ways.

He originally intended to win her over with a gentle approach.

Who knew this woman was too skilled; she didn't even try to take his moves!

Several times I went too far and almost lost my life here.

Fortunately, I possess the Panacea Body, a rare breed.

"You old hag! Just you wait!"

As Lin Yi massaged her, he cursed inwardly, "Once I've got you, I'll make you beg me on your knees!"

But I have to admit, this woman's figure is absolutely stunning.

"Little Yiyi, a little higher... a little more force."

Sima Liuying gave a comfortable hum, "Your technique is quite skilled. Have you massaged other women before?"

Lin Yi's heart tightened, and his face instantly filled with sincerity. "I swear to God! This unique skill has only ever been used on you!"

He wasn't lying about that.

Which of those fairies didn't get straight to the point?

Who has the time to give massages?

Sima Liuying gave a light snort, "You pass."

Lin Yi smiled on the outside, but cursed inwardly.

This woman is domineering and controlling, treating him like a little puppy!

If his cultivation hadn't been sealed, he would have summoned the remaining demonic corpses and put on another fireworks show for this flower boat!

Time flies, and seven days have passed.

These seven days felt like an eternity to Lin Yi!

"Damn it! What on earth is that old hag trying to do?!"

As he pinched Sima Liuying's calf, he cursed inwardly, "She teases me until I'm furious every day, but she just won't mention dual cultivation! Is she deliberately trying to suffocate me?!"

This woman went even further, insisting that Lin Yi personally cook the spiritual porridge.

At this moment, in the kitchen of Huazhou.

Lin Yi was stirring the spiritual porridge in front of the jade pot.

Several pretty palace maids nearby secretly pointed at him and gossiped, their eyes filled with both curiosity and fervor.

After all, the rumors about Lin Yi outside were incredibly exaggerated, and which female cultivator wouldn't want to spend a wonderful night with him?

Unfortunately, Sima Liuying was too domineering, and they only dared to think about it in their hearts.

Lin Yi could only swallow hard as he looked at the several beautiful palace maids.

These past few days I've been burning with desire, but I have to pretend to be honest. I'm practically bursting with pent-up frustration!

In this ambiguous and oppressive atmosphere.

boom!!!

The entire flower boat suddenly shook violently!

The jade ornaments in the kitchen jingled incessantly, almost spilling the porridge.

Immediately afterwards, a hoarse voice, filled with boundless arrogance, boomed outside the pleasure boat:

"Hahaha! Who do we have here? It's the Firefly Fairy! What a coincidence!"

"Why don't you stay and keep this old man company for a bit of fun, my beauty?"

Upon hearing this, Sima Liuying's expression changed drastically, and she appeared on the deck in a flash. "Patriarch of Bliss?! You old demon... didn't you pass away a hundred years ago?!"

"The Patriarch of Bliss?!"

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard the name, and the palace maids next to him turned pale with fright and trembled all over.

An older palace maid's voice trembled, "Oh no! It's the Blissful Ancestor! A hundred years ago, he was a notorious late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!"

"Because he was too lecherous and ruthless, he was besieged by the righteous forces. Everyone thought he was dead, but unexpectedly he was still alive!"

"This man practices the evil art of 'draining one's vital essence'; none of the female cultivators he targets can escape. In the end, they are all drained of their vital essence and turned into a pile of withered bones!"

Lin Yi was first startled upon hearing this, then overjoyed!

"Damn it! Karma's got you! You old hag, you've finally met your match!"

He seemed to see a glimmer of hope for escape!

The next moment, something unexpected happened!

Boom boom boom!

A terrifying surge of spiritual energy erupted from outside the flower boat!

The violent energy tore the surrounding clouds to shreds!

"You old devil of bliss! You ambushed me?!"

Sima Liuying was both shocked and furious, and transformed into a streak of purple light that shot into the sky.

With a wave of her jade hand, streams of Nascent Soul magic power blasted into the void.

"Hehehe, Fairy Firefly, you're still as hot-tempered as ever!"

A sinister voice rang out.

In the void, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a pink robe appeared.

It is none other than the Patriarch of Bliss!

He is in the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, possesses bizarre cultivation techniques, and is attracted to both men and women!

The two Nascent Soul cultivators instantly clashed in battle!

Sima Liuying was surrounded by purple aura, and thousands of petals shot towards the Blissful Ancestor like a rainstorm.

The Blissful Ancestor laughed maniacally, and a pinkish evil mist spread out. Twisted faces in the mist howled and sneered, constantly corroding the flower petals.

The explosion was deafening, and the flower boat rocked violently.

Lin Yi, whose cultivation had been sealed, stood on the deck, dumbfounded.

A battle between Nascent Soul level cultivators is simply a fight between gods!

Even the slightest ripple of energy sent shivers down his spine; he felt he could be swept away at any moment!

At this moment, the Blissful Ancestor's gaze pierced through the battle and locked onto Lin Yi.

Sensing the powerful aura of the Myriad Spirits Medicine Body within Lin Yi's body, a greedy glint flashed in his eyes!

"What a magnificent 'Panacea Body'! After absorbing its essence, my power will surely increase greatly!"

Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine under his gaze, inwardly cursing, "Pervert! Is this old bastard bisexual?"

His stomach churned.

It's like escaping one wolf's den only to fall into another!

If he had to choose one, he would rather choose Sima Liuying!

At least that old hag is an absolute beauty.

This Blissful Ancestor is absolutely disgusting!

boom!

Another collision occurred, and Sima Liuying let out a muffled groan, her body swaying slightly as she fell into a disadvantageous position.

The Blissful Ancestor chuckled, "Fairy Firefly, if we keep fighting like this, we won't be able to determine a winner."

"Why don't you give me this boy and those palace maids, and I'll leave immediately? What do you say?"

Lin Yi's heart sank to the bottom, and the palace maids trembled with fear.

"You old devil of bliss! You're dreaming!"

Sima Liuying's voice was as cold as ice, "You dare to steal my man?!"

She actually refused!

The Blissful Ancestor's face darkened. "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!"

The great battle broke out again, and it directly turned into a battle for Lin Yi!

The two fought even more fiercely, each move potentially fatal!

Sima Liuying was caught off guard and her shoulder was struck by the pink evil energy. Blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her breathing became disordered.

She made a decisive decision: "Let's retreat!"

Transforming into a streak of light, it swept up the flower boat and carried Lin Yi away, escaping through the air!

"Where do you think you're going!"

The Blissful Ancestor pursued relentlessly.

Looking at Sima Liuying, whose breathing was unsteady, Lin Yi was somewhat moved. "This woman is quite loyal. She just said I was her man?"

cough!

Sima Liuying suddenly trembled, an abnormal flush appeared on her face, and her breathing became even more disordered.

She clutched her chest, "Oh no... the Blissful Ancestor has secretly poisoned me with the Lingering, Bone-Corroding Poison!"

Lin Yi's expression changed drastically, and he cried out in his heart, "You absolutely must hold on! If you collapse and I fall into that freak's hands, I'd rather end it all!"

Sima Liuying swallowed an antidote pill, grabbed Lin Yi, and escaped again.

"Don't worry, he can't catch up!"

As soon as they finished speaking, the two appeared in a primeval forest.

Sima Liuying found a secluded cave, set up a protective barrier, and sat cross-legged to heal her injuries.

But as soon as she circulated her internal energy, the poison flared up along with her old injuries!

"puff!"

She spat out a mouthful of dark red blood, her face as pale as paper.

Sima Liuying, her aura weak, looked at Lin Yi, her beautiful eyes filled with a rare vulnerability, "Lin Yi... please heal my wounds."

"Right now, only your Primal Essence of All Spirits can neutralize this poison..."

Lin Yi was stunned on the spot, and his heart sank:

Depend on!

Are you planning to use me as a furnace to detoxify you?

To go or not to go?

Seeing Lin Yi's hesitant expression, Sima Liuying forced a smile.

Even though she was seriously injured, she was still incredibly beautiful, and her pale face only added to her pitiful appearance.

"You little rascal... what are you thinking...?"

Her voice was very soft, "Just use the Essence of All Spirits to suppress the poison for me, and I'll lift the seal for you."

"Once I'm better... if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Lin Yi's eyes lit up. "Really?!"

Seeing his eagerness to run away, a hint of sadness flashed in Sima Liuying's eyes. "I knew it! All those sweet words of yours were lies!"

Lin Yi was stunned.

Love you?

Is that old hag out of her mind?

I was kidnapped by you, and my cultivation was sealed.

Living in constant fear and anxiety, can that be called love?

But he knew that arguing wouldn't work, so he immediately switched into acting mode, putting on a show of deep affection:

"Love! Of course I love!"

"But you are so high and mighty, how dare I, a mere Foundation Establishment waste, harbor such delusions?"

That really worked.

Sima Liuying's gaze softened slightly.

Lin Yi was overjoyed.

Case solved!

This woman is outwardly strong but inwardly fragile and love-struck!

"Let me help you heal your wounds."

Lin Yi struck while the iron was hot.

A hint of melancholy flashed in Sima Liuying's eyes. "I knew it. You men are all the same. Once you get what you want, you want to run away. I won't force you."

"No, I'm going to say it anyway!"

Lin Yi wanted to continue acting.

Sima Liuying suddenly leaned in and sealed his mouth with her red lips!

Lin Yi's mind went blank for a moment.

Damn...so soft, so fragrant...

He responded involuntarily.

What shocked him even more was the moment he reached the summit.

A surge of pure Yin energy flowed out from Sima Liuying's body!

I rely on!

She's over a hundred years old, and she's still a virgin?!

And this is the first time?!

Lin Yi's mind was in turmoil.

That aloof Lady Firefly actually harbored such a fragile heart?

They even gave him their most precious Yin energy?

Oh shit!

He felt his cultivation level surge, and his throat tighten.

I'm a little...touched, what should I do?

After several rounds of lovemaking, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the cave.

Lin Yi felt the spiritual energy within his body surging and surging.

A rough calculation shows that this harvest is equivalent to ten years of hard work and self-cultivation!

"Cultivating with a Nascent Soul cultivator is this enjoyable? That's outrageous!"

Sima Liuying quickly straightened her clothes and resumed her languid and elegant appearance.

But she was equally shocked. "This kid's Myriad Spirits Body is truly powerful! The cold, dark poison that had accumulated in my body for years has been completely cleared away! Even the bottleneck in my cultivation has been loosened!"

She waved her hand, releasing the seal on Lin Yi, and said in a deliberately cold tone, "I told you, if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

Lin Yi was taken aback.

They were so enthusiastic just a moment ago, and now they've turned their backs on us?

Feeling his cultivation level surging within him, he thought to himself: Only a fool would leave! I have to come back a few more times!

Sima Liuying turned away, leaving him with only a cold and aloof back view.

It looked just like a little turtle that was afraid of getting hurt and quickly retreated into its shell.

Lin Yi understood instead.

The more a woman acts like this, the more it shows how deeply she is in love.

Seeing that Lin Yi hadn't left, Sima Liuying softened her heart and her voice became gentler, "If you're not leaving... then come back to the Great Chu Royal City with me first."

She turned around, a hint of concern in her eyes, "That old bastard, the Blissful Ancestor, is vindictive. If you stay by my side, I can keep you safe."

She added, "Also, my junior brother Hun Li has recently taken on a disciple named Ren Tianxing."

"That kid must have had some incredible luck; he's already successfully formed a Nascent Soul."

"And... he seems to have a deep grudge against you and is looking for you everywhere."

"What?!"

Lin Yi's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "Ren Tianxing has become a Nascent Soul stage monster?!"

A million thoughts raced through his mind: Could it be that being struck by my lightning bolt has turned out to be a blessing in disguise?

Before we could even deal with the Blissful Ancestor, another mortal enemy in the Nascent Soul stage appeared!

No, we can't leave now!

Lin Yi immediately put on a smiling face, "Then this junior will follow all your arrangements, senior!"

Let's stick close to Sima Liuying first.

After all, he was her first man!

In a secluded, hidden place within the Great Chu Dynasty.

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure from a Nascent Soul cultivator surged into the sky, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the dome of the secret realm!

As the lightning dissipated, a figure slowly stood up, surrounded by a suffocating spiritual pressure.

It was Ren Tianxing!

He felt the surging nascent soul spiritual power within his body, and a look of wild joy appeared on his face, which then turned into a sinister grin.

"Hahahaha! The early stage of the Nascent Soul realm is finally stable! I, Ren Tianxing, have achieved the Great Dao of Nascent Soul!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with deep-seated resentment.

"Lin Yi! You ant! You crippled my cultivation and stole my woman! You didn't expect that, did you?"

"That tribulation lightning didn't kill me; instead, it helped me temper my Dao foundation!"

"Now that I have entered the Nascent Soul stage, I will surely extract your soul and refine your spirit!"

"And Ye Qingwan! You blind, despicable woman! Once I've destroyed Lin Yi, I'll make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!"

He flashed and appeared outside the secret realm.

The old servant immediately knelt down, "Congratulations, Holy Son, on achieving the Nascent Soul stage!"

Ren Tianxing stood with his hands behind his back. "Enough nonsense! Come with me to the Dan Ding Sect! This Holy Son will settle old scores personally!"

A vast expanse of clouds.

A luxurious flower boat sails smoothly.

on the deck.

Lin Yi lay on a soft chair, a spirit herb stem dangling from his mouth, squinting in the sun.

They acted as if they owned the place.

The palace maids gathered to one side, looking at each other in bewilderment at Lin Yi's arrogant demeanor.

A round-faced palace maid, her chest heaving with anger, strode forward. "Lin Yi! Get up and cook porridge and massage the madam! Do you want to die?!"

She raised her hand to hit him.

The slap hadn't even touched Lin Yi yet.

"Bang!"

The round-faced palace maid was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the railing and immediately losing consciousness.

Everyone looked at the person who had made the move in horror.

Sima Liuying.

She didn't even glance at the palace maid, her beautiful eyes flashing with murderous intent. "How dare you! How dare you touch my man?"

"Any further disrespect from below will result in utter annihilation!"

The palace maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they all knelt down with a thud, trembling like leaves.

God!

The lady just said... her man?!

Lin Yi went from being a prisoner to becoming the lady's male favorite in an instant?!

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes and gave Sima Liuying a smug look.

She was secretly thrilled: "I love this domineering, protective attitude towards her husband!"

Sima Liuying appeared aloof on the surface, but her heart was far from calm.

"Oh no, why did I have to intervene? And say things like that! Does he think I care about him too much?"

"But I just couldn't stand seeing him being bullied!"

She gave a soft snort and turned to go into the inner cabin.

Lin Yi lay in the sunlight, his mouth stretched almost to his ears in a wide grin.

This gigolo is so delicious!

A day later, the flower boat arrived at the capital of the Great Chu Kingdom.

Just as they were about to enter the city, another cloud chariot pulled by a nine-headed beast roared in, its momentum menacing!

The flower boat and the cloud carriage collided head-on!

Standing atop the cloud chariot was none other than Ren Tianxing, who had just broken through to the Nascent Soul stage!

His Nascent Soul stage spiritual pressure was not concealed at all, causing the cultivators below to look up in awe.

He saw Sima Liuying standing on the flying boat opposite him, suppressed his arrogance, and bowed slightly, "Ren Tianxing greets Martial Uncle Liuying."

Sima Liuying glanced at him lazily and gave a soft hum as a greeting.

This coldness made Ren Tianxing, who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, feel a sense of frustration.

Lin Yi, who was hiding in the cabin, felt the pressure of Ren Tianxing's Nascent Soul and his heart skipped a beat.

"Damn it! That bastard really reached the Nascent Soul stage! Luckily, I clung tightly to Sister Liuying's leg!"

Seeing Ren Tianxing's murderous aura, Lin Yi felt a sense of foreboding.

"That bastard, could he be planning to attack the Pill Cauldron Sect?"

really!

Sima Liuying asked, "Nephew Ren, where are you going with such a grand entrance?"

Ren Tianxing was overjoyed, feeling that he had finally gained his uncle's respect!

He straightened his back and spoke in a loud voice, "Reporting to my master! This junior disciple is going to raze the Dan Ding Sect to the ground! Capture and kill Lin Yi! Uphold the prestige of my Soul Palace!"

"really!"

Lin Yi, listening in the cabin, gritted his teeth in anger. "That bastard! Isn't he just trying to settle personal scores and make a move on my precious women?!"

The thought of Ye Qingwan's unhealed injuries, and the possibility that Ji Ziyue and Ruan Qingzhu were in danger, ignited a fire in Lin Yi's heart!

"No! We absolutely cannot let him go to the Pill Refining Sect!"

Lin Yi steeled himself, put on a lazy expression, yawned, and swaggered out of the cabin.

She said to Sima Liuying in a coquettish tone, "Sister Liuying, why did you stop? I was almost asleep."

His appearance instantly attracted everyone's attention!

Sima Liuying was both annoyed and amused. "That little rascal! He really knows how to pick his timing! Does he think I'll protect him?"

A hint of indulgence lingered in her eyes.

When Ren Tianxing saw Lin Yi, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets!

"Lin Yi?"

He let out a beastly roar, his eyes bloodshot, his killing intent soaring to the heavens!

"What are you doing here?!"

Lin Yi picked at his ear, his face full of disgust. "What are you yelling about? I can stay wherever I want, it's none of your business!"

Ren Tianxing trembled with rage, turned to Sima Liuying and shouted, "Uncle-Master! This man is Lin Yi, a remnant of the Dan Ding Sect! Please allow me to capture him!"

As he spoke, the Nascent Soul's spiritual pressure was about to press down on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi is gambling.

I'm betting on whether Sima Liuying will turn against her fellow disciples for his sake.

Right now!

"presumptuous!"

Sima Liuying took a step forward and stood in front of Lin Yi, unleashing the pressure of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

"Lin Yi is my honored guest! Who dares to touch him?!"

Ren Tianxing was forced back several steps, his blood surging, and his face full of frustration.

Lin Yi was overjoyed, but felt that the term "distinguished guest" wasn't quite appropriate.

He pointed at Ren Tianxing's nose and cursed, "When I was undergoing my tribulation, wasn't it you who ambushed me?"

"You're spouting nonsense!"

Enraged, Ren Tianxing was about to make a move.

"That's enough!"

Sima Liuying waved her jade hand, and a beam of purple light struck Ren Tianxing!

"puff!"

Ren Tianxing coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turned deathly pale, and he dared not move again.

"I take my leave, junior disciple!"

He lowered his head in humiliation, roaring in his heart: Lin Yi! I will never forgive you!

After Ren Tianxing left, Sima Liuying rolled her eyes at Lin Yi, "You've already caused trouble for your sister right from the start."

Lin Yi forced a smile, "Sister Liuying, this bastard is my mortal enemy! He's even plotting to harm my Dan Ding Sect!"

Sima Liuying shook her head helplessly, her tone domineering: "Now that you've followed my sister, he won't dare lay a finger on you in this royal city!"

"I've already left a hidden energy within him, enough for him to cultivate in seclusion for several years."

Lin Yi was overjoyed. "Sister is awesome!"

But then he caught sight of Soul Palace cultivators pointing and gesturing at the flower boat on the street below.

The smile froze.

Damn it, I was too busy showing off!

We've arrived at the Soul Palace's lair!

Back in Sima Liuying's palace, Lin Yi felt as if he were at home, collapsing onto the warm jade couch and grabbing a vermilion fruit to gnaw on.

The palace maids' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Sima Liuying rolled her eyes at him, "You little rascal, you don't act like you're an outsider at all."

"But you'd better not stray too far from me; you're the Soul Palace's number one wanted criminal."

Lin Yi almost choked on the vermilion fruit he had just bitten into.

Yup!

The Soul Palace has more than just Ren Tianxing as a Nascent Soul cultivator!

If they join forces to force her to resign, can Sister Liuying withstand it?

He was internally panicking, but outwardly remained as calm as a rock.

Find Chu Zhan and have him send a message to the Dan Ding Sect to let them know that everything is safe. Instruct them to activate the mountain-protecting formation.

Only after doing all this did he feel a little relieved.

Chu Zhan was stunned by Lin Yi's actions.

How could this person be treated this way by Lady Firefly?

It seems a huge wave is about to sweep through the capital!

Lin Yi found Sima Liuying, who was admiring the flowers, and mustered up his courage to ask, "Sister Liuying, if the Soul Palace or your junior brother insists that you hand me over... will you abandon me?"

Sima Liuying turned around and said decisively, "No!"

"But aren't you an elder of the Soul Hall? Doesn't this amount to betrayal?"

Sima Liuying smiled, extended her jade-like finger and tapped his forehead, "Silly boy, it's not certain who will betray whom yet."

She smiled slightly, "If they know what's good for them, then all will be well. If they don't... then the entire Soul Palace can't afford to offend me!"

Lin Yi's eyes widened, and he was so excited he almost jumped up!

What the hell!

Turns out I didn't cling to a powerful figure, but rather a towering white jade pillar!

Sima Liuying said seriously, "You can't just keep wandering around with your Foundation Establishment cultivation level! Tell me, what resources do you need? I can get them for you."

Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart, scratched his head, and grinned mischievously, "Forget about the resources!"

"If you really want to help me improve my cultivation... let's have a few more in-depth exchanges; that would be more effective than any magic pill!"

"Whoosh!"

Sima Liuying's face instantly turned red to the roots of her neck!

"You...you little scoundrel! What nonsense are you spouting! Humph, fine, take it or leave it!"

She stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, not daring to look at Lin Yi, then turned and ran away, disappearing in a wisp of fragrant breeze.

Lin Yi stroked his chin, his smile gradually turning lewd.

"Tsk tsk, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator is so shy?"

He shook his head, "This woman is highly skilled and decisive in killing, yet she's as innocent as a blank sheet of paper when it comes to emotions—a hopeless case of being love-struck!"

"She's over a hundred years old, yet she blushes and runs away at the drop of a hat. Anyone who didn't know her would think she was a sixteen-year-old girl!"

Lin Yi licked his lips. "But... I like it!"

Just then!

boom!

Two terrifying pressures suddenly descended upon the capital of Great Chu!

One aura was righteous and peaceful, the other was fierce and incomparable.

All the cultivators in the royal city felt their souls tremble.

"What a terrifying aura! Could it be a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Lin Yi was so startled that he jumped up from the recliner.

News arrived quickly: a special envoy from the Central Plains Holy Glory Alliance had arrived!

Zhongzhou!

A cultivation holy land a hundred times more powerful than Yunzhou!

Sima Liuying found him with a solemn expression. "Lin Yi, I'm leaving. I'll give you two choices."

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. "Please speak, sister."

"First, come back to Zhongzhou with me. My father is the vice leader of the Holy Glory Alliance."

"Second, you stay."

"But the Blissful Ancestor and Ren Tianxing will not let you go. The Soul Palace will crush the Pill Cauldron Sect into dust."

"Staying here means a slim chance of survival!"

Lin Yi's face was grim.

Staying means certain death.

But what will happen to the Dan Ding Sect now that he's gone?

What should Ye Qingwan, Ji Ziyue, and Ruan Qingzhu do?

He clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

"I'll go with you!"

He gritted his teeth and said, "But you must guarantee that the entire Dan Ding Sect will be harmed! Otherwise, I'd rather stay and perish with them!"

A hint of joy flashed in Sima Liuying's eyes, but she remained outwardly calm. "Very well! In the name of the Holy Radiance Alliance, I grant the Pill Cauldron Sect a protection order, and the Soul Palace will not dare to act rashly."

She flipped her hand and took out a golden token, placing it in Lin Yi's palm. "Take this. Go back and settle everything. I'll come to pick you up in ten days."

……

The next morning.

Lin Yi changed his appearance and left the royal city in his spirit boat.

Looking back at the colossal city, all I could see were the raging flames.

Get stronger!

Become stronger at all costs!

"Ren Tianxing! Ancestor of Bliss! Soul Palace! You just wait!"

"When I return from Zhongzhou, it will be your death day!"

Two days later, at Luoyun Peak of the Dan Ding Sect.

Lin Yi quietly returned to his cave.

As soon as he stepped into the inner room, he saw Ruan Qingzhu wiping the table and tidying up her clothes with her back to him.

Looking at his wife's thinning figure, Lin Yi felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

He quietly stepped forward and hugged her from behind!

"ah!"

Ruan Qingzhu was startled, but when she felt the familiar presence, she instantly softened and tears welled up in her eyes!

"My husband! You're back!"

She turned and hugged Lin Yi tightly, burying her face in his chest, her voice choked with sobs, "I missed you so much... I was so afraid something had happened to you..."

Lin Yi felt a pang of guilt.

"Qingzhu, I'm sorry..."

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

All the longing and love erupted completely at this moment!

Lin Yi and Ruan Qingzhu were like fish out of water meeting the rain, entangled together wildly.

From dusk till late at night, tireless.

After the seventh time, Ruan Qingzhu went limp and lay in Lin Yi's arms, too lazy to even move a finger.

Lin Yi patted her back, remained silent for a while, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Qingzhu, I... may have to leave for a while."

Before he could finish speaking, the body in his arms suddenly stiffened and went cold.

Ruan Qingzhu raised her head, her eyes filled with tears. "Husband, are you really leaving? I had a nightmare. I dreamt that you went to a place so far away, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't catch up with you..."

Lin Yi felt a pang of sadness and hugged her even tighter. "It's okay, don't be afraid."

"I'm going to become stronger, strong enough to protect everyone."

"I promise I'll come back in style to pick you up!"

Ruan Qingzhu looked at him, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Suddenly, her face flushed, as if she had made a great decision, "Then...husband, let's have a child..."

She wrapped her arms around Lin Yi's neck, her eyes glistening with tears, "Give me something to remember you by, something to keep me company... In the future, when I miss you, looking at the child will be like looking at you..."

Lin Yi was stunned.

child?

She wants to have her own child?

He felt both bittersweet and warm inside.

This woman not only didn't stop him, but also wanted to wait for him with her bloodline.

How could he refuse?

"good……"

Lin Yi's voice was hoarse, "Husband... I'll do my best."

Although she knew her aptitude was poor and that it was difficult for a cultivator to conceive, this was the greatest comfort she could give him.

There were no superfluous words; all the love was transformed into tender affection.

Lin Yi remained awake until Ruan Qingzhu fell asleep from exhaustion.

He was surprised to find that this dual cultivation had significantly increased his cultivation level.

It turns out that appealing to the heart is more effective than appealing to the body.

Get stronger!

We must become stronger!

Next stop, Xin Zhilei's cave.

Amidst the swirling spiritual energy, that aloof figure was tending to the spiritual herbs with his back to him.

Lin Yi stood at the door for a while.

Her movements were graceful, but her fingertips trembled slightly when they touched the leaves.

She knew he was coming, but she didn't turn around.

Lin Yi stepped forward and hugged her from behind!

"Hmm!"

Xin Zhilei was startled and dropped the jade pot in her hand.

She struggled for a moment, but the familiar embrace made her instantly go limp.

Lin Yi turned her around, and their eyes met.

Those once clear and cold eyes were now churning with turbulent emotions.

Reason has been completely burned away.

Lin Yi lowered his head and pressed down on him domineeringly.

Once, twice, three times...

Springtime filled the cave, and suppressed breaths mingled, like a final frenzy before parting.

After an unknown amount of time, the wind stopped.

Xin Zhilei nestled in Lin Yi's arms, her face flushed and covered in sweat.

Unlike Ruan Qingzhu, she didn't talk much; she simply quietly felt his body temperature.

Lin Yi stroked her hair. "After I'm gone, take good care of Qingzhu!"

"Um."

Xin Zhilei responded softly, "Don't worry, be careful in Zhongzhou."

Next, Lin Yi went to find Ji Ziyue.

This usually dignified and generous senior uncle was now restless.

Upon seeing Lin Yi, a complex mix of emotions flashed in her eyes.

Worry, reluctance, and a hint of resentment.

She turned her face away, deliberately saying coldly, "It's good that you're leaving! There are plenty of beauties in Zhongzhou, go and ravage them, your cultivation will definitely increase quickly!"

She paused, then added defiantly, "Go ahead and go! I'm not waiting for you! If you're having such a good time in Zhongzhou that you forget all about home, I'll just find a handsome young man to marry and forget about you completely!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's eyes instantly turned red!

Oh shit!

How dare anyone covet my woman?

The thought of her possibly falling into someone else's arms completely ignited Lin Yi's possessiveness!

"You dare!!!"

He let out a low growl, stepped forward, picked up Ji Ziyue, and ignored her struggles and pounding, heading straight for the inner room.

"Lin Yi! Let me go! You bastard... Ugh!"

All protests were silenced by a kiss.

Ji Ziyue struggled for a few moments, but soon succumbed to Lin Yi's domineering advances and collapsed into a limp heap.

This time, Lin Yi was exceptionally fierce, as if he were asserting his dominance.

He wanted to imprint his mark on the very depths of her soul, so that she would never have any other thoughts.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.

Ji Ziyue lay sprawled in the quilt, her wet black hair clinging to her face.

She closed her eyes, stubbornly turned her head away, but her shoulders were trembling.

Her voice choked with emotion, yet she remained defiant, "You bastard...didn't you hear me...I'm not waiting for you..."

But Lin Yi understood.

How can this be considered a threat?

It was clearly the simplest way to express the deepest reluctance to part.

She was looking forward to his return.

Seeing this hypocritical expression, Lin Yi's anger dissipated, leaving only tenderness.

"Silly girl..."

He whispered a promise, "Be a good girl and wait for me to come back! You, Ji Ziyue, will be my woman, Lin Yi's woman, for all eternity!"

Ji Ziyue's tense body finally went limp, and she opened her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

She stopped talking and just snuggled closer to him.

"I'm waiting for you!"

After a period of arduous training, Lin Yi emerged from Ji Ziyue's cave.

He let out a long sigh, but his heart sank even deeper.

Every woman's affection weighed on his heart like a stone, forcing him to become stronger.

……

The Dan Ding Sect, at the summit of its main peak.

Inside Ye Qingwan's bedroom.

The moonlight spilled onto the jade steps, cool and clear as water.

These days, Ye Qingwan has been exhausted from trying to stabilize the sect, and her face is etched with fatigue.

She only breathed a sigh of relief and focused on healing after hearing that Lin Yi was alright.

When the familiar figure pushed open the door and walked in against the moonlight.

Ye Qingwan raised her head, her eyes swirling with complex emotions. "Lin Yi, you... are back."

From being partners to separating, and then to her protecting him...

Memories flooded my mind.

He knew her feelings, but now was not the time to go back to an old flame.

What if you take a bite and then can't bear to leave?

Seeing his silence, Ye Qingwan assumed he was worried about the sect, so she forced herself to be cheerful and said, "Lin Yi, don't worry, my injuries are already healing."

"If I take another step forward, the Pill Cauldron Sect will have nothing to fear from anyone. We..."

"Here, take this."

Lin Yi interrupted her and shoved the Holy Glory Alliance Pardon into her hand.

"This is a protection order from the Central Plains Holy Glory Alliance. The Soul Palace will not dare to touch the Pill Cauldron Sect in the short term."

Then he announced his decision to travel to Zhongzhou.

Ye Qingwan swayed, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed.

She found herself unable to even find a reason to ask him to stay.

strength!

We still lack the strength!

"Are you... really determined to go?"

Her voice was trembling.

"Um."

Lin Yi nodded, "Ancestor Bliss, Ren Tianxing, Soul Palace... I've made too many enemies in the Southern Region. Staying here will only implicate you and the sect."

He looked at her, his eyes resolute, "Once I've established myself, I'll return in triumph!"

Ye Qingwan felt a pang of pain in her heart. "We can face this together!"

"fool!"

Lin Yi's tone became more serious, "The Blissful Old Demon is a rogue cultivator who has no scruples whatsoever."

"If he goes berserk, how many people in the Pill Cauldron Sect will die? You're still injured, how can I let you take such a risk?"

She remained silent for a long time before asking, her eyes red, "Then... Sima Liuying, is she good to you?"

"Well……"

Lin Yi was speechless, and an awkward expression flashed across his face.

How so?

They say I'm enjoying being a kept man?

No, that's too embarrassing!

He stammered, his eyes darting around.

Ye Qingwan understood.

She threw all pretense of modesty and status to the back of her mind!

She grasped Lin Yi's hand, trembling, and mustered her courage, "Lin Yi... tonight, can you... stay?"

boom!

Lin Yi's mind went blank, and his heart pounded wildly!

Is she trying to keep him here?

To say I don't want to would be a lie!

Moreover, her injuries hadn't healed yet, and his miraculous healing body could help her recover...

Dry!

Stay if you want!

It's for healing, and it's for the greater good of the sect!

"Cough... Since your injuries haven't healed, I... I can help you heal them."

"It's just for healing, don't overthink it!"

Seeing his pretentious act of wanting something but pretending to be serious, Ye Qingwan burst into laughter through her tears, blushing and lowering her head, "...Mmm."

Without further hesitation, Lin Yi picked her up in his arms.

Under the moonlight, the two figures gradually overlapped.

The palace gates closed silently.

The sun was high in the sky, and spring was in full bloom inside the palace.

The two, tireless, engaged in another union of body and soul.

Ye Qingwan's body was filled with spiritual energy, and even her hidden injuries to her soul had healed by half.

She had a rosy complexion, radiant beauty, and was stunningly beautiful.

Lin Yi was so excited that his soul trembled.

Why does my ex-wife feel different now than before?

Could it be... that twice-cooked pork smells especially good?

With the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, Lin Yi began to arrange important matters.

With a wave of his hand, spirit stones, spirit herbs, and pills piled up into a small mountain, along with a vat of spirit spring water, instantly filling a corner of the bedroom!

The spiritual energy was soaring, and the concentration of spiritual energy throughout Luoyun Peak increased dramatically!

Ye Qingwan's eyes widened, too shocked to speak.

These treasures are more abundant than the Dan Ding Sect's inventory over several hundred years!

"Where...where did you come from...?"

Her voice trembled.

Lin Yi smiled casually, "Keep this little bit of your savings to support the great formation and take good care of everyone."

A warm feeling welled up in Ye Qingwan's heart.

Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly sharpened!

Lin Yi's expression also changed drastically!

boom!!!

A lewd and domineering pressure, like a tsunami, crashed down on the sky above the Dan Ding Sect!

The sky was dyed pink, and a sweet, exotic fragrance filled the air, causing many disciples to look dazed.

The protective formation shook violently, groaning under the strain!

"Hahaha!"

A hoarse, arrogant voice echoed across the fields:

"Listen up, you little wench of the Pill Refining Sect! Hand over Lin Yi obediently! Otherwise, I, your patriarch, will break through your shells and drain you all of your life force until you're dried corpses!"

It is the Patriarch of Bliss!

He actually chased us all the way to the sect!

Inside the Dan Ding Sect, all the disciples were deathly pale, and those with lower cultivation levels collapsed to the ground.

Ruan Qingzhu, Xin Zhilei, and Ji Ziyue, who had just emerged from seclusion, felt the pressure of the Nascent Soul cultivator and their hearts sank to the bottom.

Only now did they truly realize what a terrifying existence Lin Yi had provoked!

Can this sect-protecting formation stop this demon?
