Especially considering his young age, Cao Le is probably already on the blacklist of those in power.

"Are you concerned about me?" Cao Le looked at Asha Ruya, who was speaking earnestly, and moved closer.

Asharuya suddenly felt...

It would have been better if that man, with his frivolous mind, had simply disappeared that day!

She was, after all, a saint of Parthenon.

In many people's eyes, she is someone of extremely high status, and others treat her with exceptional respect. So why is it that when it comes to him, she seems like a girl next door who can be bullied at will?

She was a little angry at Cao Le's flippancy and said, "Who's worried about you? It would be best if you disappeared one day!"

"Humph!"

She was very upset, and her pretty little face turned to the side, giving Cao Le a side profile.

"Just say what you're worried about. Or I can come to your room tonight and we can talk it over."

"Get out!"

Asha Ruya, unable to bear it any longer, pushed Cao Le aside, swayed her little pert bottom, and turned to leave.

"Tsk tsk...aren't girls with alluring back views supposed to turn around and kill?" Cao Le muttered as he watched Asha's departing figure.

Just then, Izusa and the others came out.

Similarly, there's Old Man Bao.

Actually, Cao Le and Old Man Bao weren't very familiar with each other.

However, over the past few days, the old man has become quite willing to interact with him.

Cao Le actually knew what he was thinking.

Speaking of responsibility, he should go back to Hangzhou and see Cao Ying now.

In this world, she has the greatest responsibility of her own.

Speaking of which, during the last few conversations with her, her extreme complaints made Cao Le feel somewhat guilty...

Speaking of which, my younger sister is already fourteen years old...

In two years, I'll be old enough to awaken my magic.

(Note: The timeline in the later parts of the original work is too messy, with several years being treated as one year. From here on, the timeline will follow my own interpretation.)

As for myself, since arriving in Shanghai and starting university, I haven't really paid much attention to her...

Luckily, Tang Yue, my kind and understanding older sister, stole my heart~

Otherwise, his own sister would be a headache for him.

"Your trial is over; you are acquitted. However, the Holy Tribunal does not want you to use this dark power anymore. If you do, you will be judged as an outcast," Old Man Bao said as he walked over to Cao Le.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Old Bao paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you understand totems?"

"I know a little about it."

"You can come to the Azure Sky Hunting Grounds with Mo Fan sometime. I also know a bit about totems, and we can discuss it," Old Man Bao extended an invitation.

"Okay, thank you this time, old man." Cao Le agreed and then thanked him again.

Regardless, Old Man Bao did help.

As for Cao Le's title?

Old Bao didn't care.

He has had this name for many years.

It's just missing the word "package".

Besides, Pang Lai had already told him that this kid had no respect for elders. Of course, this only applied to people he knew well...

Therefore, in Bao Laotou's view, this could be considered as Cao Le expressing a bit of friendliness.

Respect doesn't necessarily have to be spoken.

However, if someone has no ability whatsoever, constantly needs the other person's help, and keeps calling them "old man," then they're definitely ungrateful...

After saying goodbye to Old Man Bao, Cao Le headed towards the teleportation array that Xin Xia had told him about.

Mo Fan only ventured into the sacred mountain but did not participate in anything else, so he returned to China ahead of schedule.

He did want to help, but with a Xuan Snake and a Baxia, these two behemoths were so powerful that he didn't need to lift a finger!

Upon arriving at the teleportation array, Cao Le saw Xin Xia and Hai Long.

Hailong saw Cao Le...

What did you say?

He just looked really unhappy!

On the sacred Parthenon, this kid was making a mess of things, so of course I was annoyed to see him.

Even though he knew he had saved the saintess who possessed a divine soul, he was still unhappy...

In Cao Le's eyes, Hailong didn't exist at all.

Xin Xia looked at Cao Le as if he were a child who had made a mistake, his two small, fair hands constantly twisting together...

"What, don't you want to go back?" Cao Le asked, knowing full well what was going on.

“Cao Le...I…” To be honest, she wanted to stay here.

However, she didn't want Cao Le to be angry.

After all, he was fine this time.

But it was only because of... the soul within her.

But he didn't know that beforehand!

What if it's gone?

Who knows, they might all be on the run for their lives?

He achieved the top ranking among universities worldwide, which was when his reputation was at its peak.

If she ended up in that situation because of herself, that wasn't what Xinxia wanted, so she didn't know what to say for a moment.

“If you want to stay, then stay. But you need to think carefully. Parthenon isn’t as sacred as it seems. The women here who scheme are ruthless. I know you’re not stupid, but living here will be too tiring,” Cao Le said, looking at Xin Xia.

In fact, the moment it became known to everyone that she possessed the soul of Parthenon, Parthenon became Xinxia's only destination.

If she leaves here, her situation will be very dangerous.

As the saying goes, "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

"I thought about it for a long time last night... I want to stay." Xinxia looked up at Cao Le, her eyes filled with fear.

What she was afraid of was hurting Cao Le's feelings...

“I want to know... why I triggered Salang’s Bloodstone…” Xinxia continued.

"Because Salam is your mother."

Cao Le then added, "If you want to stay, then stay. If there's anything you can't resolve, just tell me."

"Aren't you angry?" Xinxia asked Cao Le.

"What do I have to be angry about? It's you who'll be spending less time with me in the future and may fall out of favor."

Upon hearing this, Xin Xia was speechless.

After learning about Xin Xia's identity, Hai Long was quite dissatisfied with what Cao Le said!

He seduced a goddess, and yet he's also having affairs with multiple women?!

"Let's go, do a good job."

Cao Le waved his hand and stepped into the teleportation array.

He didn't know what his feelings were at that moment.

However, one thing is certain.

Next time I miss her, I can come to Parthenon again, and no one will stop me.

...

PS: This refers to various astronomical phenomena.

The Journey Through the Heavens Begins with the Medicine Clan

295. The Virtuous Wife, Mu Nujiao

It was all expected that Xinxia would stay here as a candidate for Goddess; in fact, he had been mentally prepared for it for a long time.

However... once she takes the position of Goddess Candidate, Xinxia will become very busy.

Well, in a sense, having a wife means you can't always have her by your side...

...

Although the spatial array was incredibly fast, the experience within it was far from pleasant. It was an extremely bumpy process, and only because his spatial abilities were strong enough did he not land like a weakling...

As for why Cao Le didn't go to the Atlantic Ocean to retrieve the bead, it was naturally because constantly using the Shadow King's power in a short period of time would not be a good thing for either him or the Shadow King.

Ultimately, his resilience was not quite enough.

In other words, Salang didn't choose to fight him head-on before, but even if he had, he still had trump cards up his sleeve. Baxia and Xuanshe are not to be underestimated either.

Shadow Demon King needs a lot of time and dark energy to recover... Although Baxia and Xuan She were not seriously injured, their opponents were not to be underestimated either.

All I can say is that if I didn't have the guts to take the plunge back then, I'll just have to wait and try my luck later...

He believes that life needs some regrets to be perfect, and he also believes that what is meant to be his will eventually be his.

Cao Le did not return to Shanghai, but to Hangzhou.

But when he arrived at Tang Yue's place, he learned... Cao Ying was still at school. What a coincidence...
