Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"I can't touch the Northern Ice Palace, and I can't touch you either... You still speak as confidently as before... my husband."

As the melodious, gentle sound surrounded everyone's ears—

Jiang Shaoguang, Ye Yuchan, and Gu Xingzhuo stood up almost simultaneously!

The three of them turned their gaze to the windowsill in the distance, where a graceful figure gradually appeared behind the old screen.

That sound...

Ye Yuchan subconsciously took out the magic weapon Black Rain, and the other two were also surprised and began to circulate their spiritual energy.

However, Yunping seemed to have anticipated this person's arrival, waving his hand to indicate that Ye Yuchan and the others did not need to overreact.

He took a sip of tea and said without turning his head, "What? Do you think I'm exaggerating?"

"Times have changed, and the world has changed. A perfect person is impossible. I just hope that you, my husband, will not speak so confidently, lest you make a mistake later and find it difficult to make amends."

The woman behind the screen seemed to have no intention of stepping out, but merely showed her graceful back and spoke slowly in a soft tone.

Yun Ping chuckled twice: "Judging from what you're saying, you've prepared quite a few backup plans?"

"When fighting with my husband, I naturally have to hold back. But I wonder if my husband has guessed this?"

"Of course I know you have a backup plan."

“I also know that you know I have a backup plan.”

Yun Ping's lips twitched, and he said irritably, "I know you know I know you have a backup plan..."

Tsk.

The woman behind the screen suddenly paused, then took a deep breath: "I know you know I know you know I have a backup plan!"

"I know you know..."

"I know too..."

MDZZ... Two lunatics.

So annoying.

50. The bet is established.

The conversation between Yunping and Ye Xuanqiu ended with both of them shutting up at the same time.

The woman behind the screen, with her graceful figure, snorted coldly and said, "In any case, my husband is bound to lose this trip. If you don't believe me, how about we make a bet?"

"bet?"

Yunping seemed intrigued. He turned to the side and smiled maliciously: "You want to bet with me?"

“I know you always win at gambling.” Ye Xuanqiu’s tone was as if she had already seen through Yun Ping. “I also know you always use some unexpected little tricks, but I will definitely win this time. If you are not convinced, you can try it.”

Faced with Ye Xuanqiu's confident words, Yunping did not immediately agree.

He stared intently at the screen, as if trying to see Ye Xuanqiu's cold, mocking face through it. He paused for a moment, his thoughts racing.

Ye Xuanqiu wouldn't be so foolish as to provoke someone; she must have her reasons for doing so.

She understands Yunping better than anyone else.

If the opponent wasn't Ye Xuanqiu, but rather the Heavenly Dao or those two patriarchs, Yun Ping would have readily agreed.

He has never lost a bet.

But this time, he hesitated.

Because his opponent was Ye Xuanqiu, that woman—the woman who always gave him a feeling of not being able to figure him out.

Seemingly sensing Yunping's thoughts, the woman behind the screen smiled gently, "What? Is my husband afraid?"

"I'm scared."

Yunping helplessly spread his hands.

Even Ye Xuanqiu was somewhat taken aback by these words.

She was somewhat stunned, then asked in a deep voice, "You're not going to bet with me?"

"Yes, we don't gamble."

"Are you afraid?"

“Yeah, I’m scared.” As he spoke, Yunping even chuckled, revealing a sly smile: “You’re so confident, you must really have a sure-fire way to win. How could I dare to bet with you? I’m scared to death.”

Ye Xuanqiu: "..."

Wait a minute, that's not how the script came about.

Ye Xuanqiu was momentarily stunned, then suddenly felt a stomachache. She asked Yunping incredulously, "You really won't bet with me? If I lose, I can tell you everything."

"Oh." Yunping nodded knowingly: "No betting."

Ye Xuanqiu: "But you've never lost."

Yunping crossed his legs and sipped his wine: "If you think about it this way, as long as I don't gamble, I'll never lose and I can maintain my undefeated record, right?"

Hearing Yunping's shameless explanation, Ye Xuanqiu remained silent for a few seconds before blurting out:

"If it were the old you, you definitely wouldn't be afraid of me."

"Come on."

Yunping took a sip of wine, his tone relaxed and carefree: "You said it yourself, that was the old me. The old me was called Xuan Lei. The current me doesn't have that chuunibyou name anymore. We've already passed that stage."

"Gambling? I've quit, it's pointless."

Ye Xuanqiu: "..."

The beauty behind the screen gasped.

She suddenly began to suspect what had happened to her husband while she was away...

How did it turn into something so infuriating?

The previous encounters hadn't been particularly memorable... but this time, Ye Xuanqiu suddenly felt like she was punching cotton.

Oh well.

The stakes are just an add-on; losing some benefits won't have a significant impact on the overall plan.

Thinking of this, Ye Xuanqiu calmed down and focused her attention on Ye Yuchan beside her.

Her gaze pierced through the screen and landed on the silver-haired girl's cold and aloof face.

"However, after all these years, you are still stuck at the Void Realm and have not yet stepped onto the path of a sage."

"As my other half, you really are a disappointment."

This statement came out.

Ye Yuchan's expression furrowed slightly as she stared intently at the screen, clutching the magic weapon Black Rain tightly in her hand, without uttering a word.

Instead of seeing Ye Yuchan's astonished reaction, Ye Xuanqiu was somewhat surprised: "It seems you already know that you are my other half?"

"So what if I know?" Ye Yuchan retorted coldly.

"It's nothing much." Ye Xuanqiu chuckled. "I just feel that if this secret could be kept hidden until the end, it would definitely be a huge surprise. Although it's not a big deal that you knew it in advance, it's less dramatic."

"As my other half, you are still stuck in the Void Realm and have not yet entered the Saint Realm, which is really disappointing to me."

"So...it's because of the excessive damage..."

The words fell.

call out!

The golden light arrived in an instant.

Unable to contain her anger, Ye Yuchan immediately pierced the gold coin that had been tossed into the air with her spiritual arrow, causing the arrowhead, covered in dazzling golden light, to pierce through the screen.

The arrow barely pierced the screen before a slender hand easily caught the arrowhead, causing the spirit arrow to shatter and scatter into countless golden rays.

Ye Xuanqiu stared at the damaged golden fragment in her palm, her eyebrows furrowing: "What kind of evil and crooked path are you taking?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuchan proudly straightened her posture: "Money is no good. What, is that not allowed?"

"You want to create your own Great Dao?"

Ye Xuanqiu's tone couldn't help but tinge with anger, "Instead of honestly following the path of martial arts, you want to create your own? That's truly absurd."

Ye Yuchan, however, did not take Ye Xuanqiu's words seriously: "The last person who said that was blasted into submission by me with capitalist cannons not long ago."

Ye Xuanqiu did not respond to Ye Yuchan's rebuttal for a moment.

She carefully examined the golden light in her palm and had to admit that she did indeed sense a faint aura of the Great Dao in Ye Yuchan's arrow, which was indeed a sign that the Great Dao was slowly emerging.

"It's a bit slow, but it's alright."

She muttered something under her breath, then sneered at Ye Yuchan: "Whether it's the path of money or the path of martial arts, no matter which path you choose, you're still just a defective product. To be honest, I had some expectations for you."

"I didn't expect you to still only deserve to be a tool."

"What did you say?!"

Ye Yuchan was so angry that she almost rushed up to fight Ye Xuanqiu in a physical combat contest.

But Yunping reached out and stood in front of Ye Yuchan, stopping the girl from hitting herself.

He glanced indifferently at Ye Xuanqiu behind the screen and said coldly, "You came all this way just to make a few sarcastic remarks and provoke me?"

"Of course not."

Ye Xuanqiu smiled coolly.

A sinister smile crept across her lips before she uttered a bombshell: "I'm just here to warn you that girl surnamed Fan might be facing an early death."

"what?!"

Jiang Shaoguang stared wide-eyed in shock at Ye Xuanqiu, "What do you mean by 'early'? Isn't there still a few days left?"

"The Soul Refining Array cannot be maintained for long. That dragon is too impatient... It is eager to take the life of that girl surnamed Fan, so it activated the Soul Refining Array ahead of schedule."

"Her soul will be used as a bargaining chip to save the Arctic Palace, at least that's what the mad dragon told her."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances—"
