The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

When Shen Yifei woke up, there was only Ye Ling in front of him.

Ye Ling changed into women's clothes, and judging from her attire, she should be from Hundred Flowers Valley.

She wore a light pink long dress with a very high neckline, but you could see that she was wearing a corset underneath.

Her hair was also tied up, and it looked quite neat.

Ye Ling was staring intently at Shen Yifei. When she saw him wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Shen Yifei looked at Ye Ling and felt that something was wrong.

This fierce woman used to always have a murderous look on her face. Now, she looks like a newlywed bride.

"Senior, are you... are you alright?" Shen Yifei asked tentatively.

"It doesn't matter if I'm okay or not, as long as you're alright. Do you know that you almost killed me!" Ye Ling's eyes flashed with murderous intent again, but it quickly disappeared.

"Senior... I... what did I do wrong? I don't remember anything at all!"

"You still call me senior?"

"Then...what should I call you?"

Ye Ling was silent for a moment, her expression somewhat unnatural. "According to your human race's rules, what do you think we should call her?"

Shen Yifei recalled the scene before he fell into a coma.

He vaguely remembered that before he fell into a coma, he was almost out of breath and vaguely heard Xinghe mention "dual cultivation," but he didn't know any of the specific details.

"Um...senpai, did you save me?"

Ye Ling's face flushed slightly. "That little girl said that merging with her could save you. I tried it."

"You tried?" Shen Yifei's eyes widened. "We...did it?"

"Um."

Shen Yifei was completely devastated.

It's utterly ridiculous that a dying man like myself could still engage in normal dual cultivation with a woman.

"Senior, you...you're not kidding me, are you?" Shen Yifei propped himself up and found that he was fine.

The small vortex in his dantian spun slowly and steadily, and a red aura had appeared inside it.

That aura was warm and domineering, flowing through his meridians and slowly merging with his demonic and spiritual energy.

"You can joke about something like this? What, are you trying to renege on your debt?" There was a hint of anger in Ye Ling's voice.

"Master, I'm angry! You'd better call me 'wife' right now, or else!"

"Sister Mengli, it's better to call me 'wife,' my new wife..."

"What does that little girl know? Calling me 'wife' is the only way to go!"

Shen Yifei didn't have time to argue with the woman inside the cauldron. Judging from Liu Mengli's words, the matter was already a fait accompli.

He hurriedly explained to Ye Ling, "Senior... I'm not trying to renege on my debt! I really don't know anything! If that's really the case, I, Shen Yifei, swear to God I will take responsibility for you and will never renege on my debt!"

"Pah, a man's oath is like a fart. You think I haven't seen it before? He just makes a random oath and gets a woman's hand in his pocket."

Hearing Ye Ling's words made Shen Yifei feel worse than if he were killed.

He stood up from the haystack, ignoring his still naked body, and grabbed Ye Ling's hand. "Wife, although I, Shen Yifei, can hardly be called a gentleman, I still have my bottom line. You saved my life, and I'll remember this kindness. If I break my vow, may I be struck dead by the lightning I set!"

Shen Yifei had his own reasons for making this vow.

My own lightning bolt was so thin and weak that it wouldn't be easy for it to kill me.

Upon hearing Ye Ling call him "wife," Shen Yifei noticed that her gaze softened considerably. "Alright, I believe you. You...you should put your clothes on first."

Seeing that she had become much gentler, Shen Yifei had an idea and pulled Ye Ling into his arms.

"Wife, even in that state, how did you manage to cultivate together?"

Ye Ling didn't refuse, quietly nestled in his arms, "That girl named Mo Ran froze your thing into ice!"

Shen Yifei froze, grabbed Ye Ling's shoulders with both hands, and gently pushed her away. "Did she freeze me into an ice pop?"

"Hmm, how can we cultivate together if we don't freeze into ice? You were already on the verge of death at that time!"

Shen Yifei then realized his predicament: a group of women were figuring out how to make him hold his head high. It was truly remarkable that they had come up with such a terrible idea.

"Senior... no, wife, we can't play like this anymore."

Ye Ling glared at him. "Who wants it? I was saving you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, help me, help me!" Shen Yifei nodded quickly. "Wife, I want it, what should I do?"

Ye Ling immediately sensed something was wrong, her expression changing slightly. However, remembering that she was already his woman, she held back and gritted her teeth, saying, "What are you made of? Your injuries have just healed, and you're already in heat?"

"Honey, it's not my fault! You're just too beautiful and tempting!" Shen Yifei said innocently. "Besides, when you saved me, I didn't know anything. Now that I've finally woken up, I should at least know what our 'that' process was like, right?"

Ye Ling's face flushed red, then paled, then flushed again, finally managing to squeeze out, "You...you decide what to do!"

Upon hearing the order, Shen Yifei carried it out immediately without hesitation.

Looking at Ye Ling's cold and beautiful face, Shen Yifei recalled her heroic figure charging through the enemy ranks and her resolute willingness to risk her life to save him, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"Wife, close your eyes," Shen Yifei said softly.

Ye Ling glanced at him and actually obediently closed her eyes.

Shen Yifei lowered his head and kissed her lips.

……

This time, Shen Yifei truly experienced the prowess of the Demon God of War.

The red aura in his dantian rejoiced, circulating continuously within his body, repairing his meridians which were not yet fully recovered, and consolidating his newly acquired realm of the early stage of tribulation.

Outside the cave, Lin Ruonan and the women of Xuanbing Palace looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the commotion coming from inside.

Meanwhile, the women from Hundred Flowers Valley smiled broadly as they approached the cave entrance, whispering amongst themselves.

Lin Ruonan sighed inwardly. The Palace Master had instructed her to take good care of Shen Yifei in the secret realm.

But this guy is too much trouble. He actually got involved with the Demon God of War. How is she going to explain this to Leng Rushuang when she gets back?

Inside the cave, after Shen Yifei and Ye Ling had a passionate encounter, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation.

The medicinal power of Ye Qianqiu's human pill had been completely absorbed after the dual cultivation, and his early stage of the Tribulation Transcending realm was completely consolidated and even slightly improved.

The two lingered in the cave for a few more moments when they suddenly heard Lin Ruonan shout from outside, "Sect Leader Shen, come out quickly! The exit of the secret realm has opened!"

Upon hearing Lin Ruonan's shout, Shen Yifei jumped up from the haystack. "So fast? It's already here in three days?"

Ye Ling also sat up and straightened her clothes. "Once the exit of the secret realm opens, the seal will close again. If you don't leave, you'll be trapped here for who knows how many years."

"What about you? Are you coming out with me?" Shen Yifei asked while getting dressed.

Ye Ling was silent for a moment. "I... haven't thought it through yet. I am the Demon God of War, and I killed so many human cultivators back then. Will the humans outside still tolerate me?"

"You have to tolerate it, whether you like it or not!" Shen Yifei grabbed her hand. "You're my wife. Anyone who dares to touch you, I'll wipe out their entire family!"
