Chapter 338 The Root of the Great Dao!

Standing beside the Wang family's residence in Beiyuan, Ji Ziyue felt the cold wind blowing, wondering why she was standing guard at the door like a maid.

Although the room was quite well soundproofed, she could already imagine what it was like inside.

"Damn it, I, the dignified Little Moon of the Ji family, am forced to work as a lookout maid." Zi Yue gritted her teeth, unable to let it go.

At this moment, a servant from the Wang family stepped forward respectfully and said, "Miss Ji, someone is looking for you outside."

"Looking for me?" Ji Ziyue asked, puzzled.

"Yes, it is the Holy Lord of the Ji family."

"The patriarch is looking for me, I'll go right away." Ji Ziyue nodded hurriedly.

After receiving a clear answer, the young servant of the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, the entire Wang family is in a state of constant anxiety because Bai Ye only requires half of the KPIs to be met. Not only the servants, but even the middle and upper management are living in fear, afraid that they will be the ones to be drawn in the lottery.

Those who were originally in charge of the work are now even more careful, afraid of making a mistake and ending up on the layoff list.

After all, this layoff is really serious.

Upon receiving the message, Ji Ziyue called out into the house, received a casual reply, and then went outside.

Upon arriving at a guest room in the Wang family's stronghold, a tall, imposing man with a composed demeanor, seemingly one with the void, looked at her and said with concern, "It's good that you're alright. After learning from Haoyue that you had been kidnapped, our entire clan was very worried about your safety."

"Master, how is my father doing?" Ziyue asked.

"They're still at the Ji family's residence. They were very worried about you after hearing what happened to you, but now I can answer them with peace of mind." The head of the Ji family spoke very gently, without a trace of arrogance.

Hearing that her family was alright, Ji Ziyue felt relieved. Then, during their conversation, the topic gradually shifted to Bai Ye.

"By the way, when I saw Yaochi and Yaoguang Saintess behind Bai Ye today, I noticed that their strength had increased to the Dragon Transformation Realm, and they didn't seem to have any of the superficiality that comes with the improvement."

"This is something many people want to know," the Holy Lord of the Ji family asked in confusion.

"Um...the White Night Gang." Ji Ziyue could only answer awkwardly.

"Then how come your cultivation level is only...?"

"Because Bai Ye didn't help me." Ji Ziyue, dressed in purple, answered somewhat awkwardly, feeling the atmosphere growing increasingly awkward.

"During your time with Bai Ye these past few days, have you learned anything about the Longevity Technique?" The Holy Master of the Ji Family stared intently at Zi Yue; this was his main purpose in coming here.

To his disappointment, Ji Ziyue simply shook her head, indicating that she did not know.

After all, Bai Ye had spent most of the past few days playing cards with the other two women, and had very little time to talk to him, less than a hundred sentences in total.

"Is that so?" The Holy Master of the Ji family sighed imperceptibly, having received no answer, and then asked, "The Ji family just had an emergency discussion and intends to betroth you to Bai Ye. What do you think?"

"Wait, what? You're betrothing me to Bai Ye?" Ji Ziyue looked up in astonishment.

Even knowing that the clan's attitude would change after Bai Ye revealed his strength, this change was happening far too fast.

"Brother Haoyue, do Father and Mother also agree to my marriage to Bai Ye?" Ji Ziyue asked nervously, suspecting that her family was also going to sell her off.

"They do indeed hold a negative opinion," the Holy Lord of the Ji family said casually.

It wasn't just a denial; upon hearing that she was to marry Bai Ye, Ji Haoyue almost fought to the death, but was suppressed by the clan elders.

Just like in the original story where Ji Ziyue and Wang Teng were to be married off, most of the Ji family members cowered in the face of Bai Ye's tyranny.

Although some elders disagreed, feeling that it was too spineless, they could not persuade the other conservatives.

After all, a marriage alliance is much better than forcing a fait accompli. If you don't agree, you can just take her from Bai Ye.

The other Yaochi and Yaoguang Holy Lands thought the same way, and their attitude was even better, after all, they had witnessed their own Holy Maiden's strength jump a whole major realm.

In the eyes of the various holy lands that possess imperial weapons, Bai Ye's current strength is now on par with theirs, giving him the right to challenge them, and he is even more willing to risk his life.

"I... leave it all to the family to decide," Ji Ziyue said, her eyes lowered, powerless to resist.

She didn't ask the Ji family to save her. After all, having lived in the Ji family for over a decade, she knew all too well their attitude towards the clan. Compared to her own lineage, the Ji family valued the overall interests more.

If Bai Ye were now at the level of an Emperor, let alone Ji Ziyue, even if she took a fancy to the Holy Master of the Ji family, he would have to sacrifice himself for the entire Ji family.

Of course, if anyone dared to say such insulting words to Bai Ye's face, the entire Ji family would be exterminated like the previous angel prisoner.

"It's wonderful that you think that way." The Holy Master of the Ji family smiled with relief, pretending not to notice Ji Ziyue's sorrow.

"Tomorrow, we will join forces with the other Holy Lords to pay you a visit and formally propose marriage," the Holy Lord of the Ji family decided.

"Um... but have you considered Bai Ye's opinion?"

Ji Ziyue whispered, "The most important thing now is that he agreed. Maybe he never even wanted to get married."

……

Ji Ziyue's words directly stumped the Holy Lord, which seems reasonable. But what if Bai Ye just wanted to play with Ji Ziyue and then not take responsibility afterward?

Ultimately, Ji Ziyue is currently just a Dao Palace realm cultivator. Even if she has a Yuanling body and comes from the Ji family, it still depends on whether Bai Ye agrees.

If they are rejected outright, the entire Ji family will lose face.

"It seems we still need to think about it. You should go and ask for his opinion first," the Holy Master of the Ji family said helplessly.

They actually ignored the opinions of the person most directly involved in this matter.

"Yes, I will ask." Ji Ziyue nodded obediently, but what she was really thinking was anyone's guess.

Meanwhile, inside the room temporarily designated as Bai Ye's room, Yao Xi and the Holy Maiden of Yaochi knelt on the ground, their eyes filled with conflicted emotions.

"Bai Ye, you mean... eating this will allow me to break through quickly?"

Bai Ye stroked the two women's heads and said with satisfaction, "Don't hesitate, just eat! Everything you want is in here."

"Without any side effects, what you see before you is the future, the very source of the Great Dao. As long as you eat and drink to your heart's content, not to mention the Sendai realm, even becoming a Quasi-Emperor or a Great Emperor is no problem."

"I've put all my effort into this; how much you get depends on your own hard work."

With deep hesitation, the two women looked at the abundant source of the Great Dao before them, which exuded a strong aura of blood and qi.

A moment later, they grasped their future with both hands, gritted their teeth, and buried themselves in it.

In just one night, both women broke through to the fourth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
