Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"You think escaping would be hard for me? Before, hehe, he did something—Whoa! Why are you staring at me like that? Don’t worry, I won’t tell your secret!"

Ye Tianling was about to speak when he suddenly sensed a deadly killing intent lock onto him.

A chill ran down his spine, and he quickly explained.

This surge of madness came from Yuan Haoning. Clearly, the matter of being assaulted was a sore spot for her, one she didn’t want anyone to ever bring up again.

’You’ve suffered, so you’re right.’

Ye Tianling grumbled to himself but didn’t argue.

At that, the frenzied, murderous aura finally dissipated.

Ye Tianling continued, "When Tianshu was setting up the Array, I just watched him, and then I learned how to do it. When he wasn’t paying attention, I escaped. Hehe."

Ye Tianyun’s beautiful eyes lit up. "Brother, you learned how to set up the Array just by watching Tianshu?"

Hearing this, Liu Xu’Er’s delicate body trembled. She was clearly stunned.

"Yeah, what’s so hard about it? It’s simple. Isn’t it just a matter of using Soul Power to coalesce Runes? The Primordial Runes are like our own language for communication. Every combination has a corresponding meaning. If you just think about it, it becomes obvious. See how simple it is!"

Ye Tianling said in all seriousness.

"Simple? Then tell me, what is the core principle for creating a Talisman Array? If you were to combine three Runes with five Runes, ensuring each combination is unique, how many possible combinations would you have?"

Liu Xu’Er clearly didn’t believe him.

’Although she could see that Ye Tianling was no longer an idiot, this level of intelligence... the change seems a little too fast, doesn’t it?’

Ye Tianling, however, gave her a look like she was the idiot. "Isn’t that simple? I’ll tell you how to calculate it."

Ye Tianling recited the permutation and combination formulas provided by his Mechanical Heart, then combined them with the principles of Rune transformation to give her a remarkably simple calculation method.

Even after he gave the perfect answer, Liu Xu’Er still found it hard to believe.

So, she presented three Talisman Array combinations that she herself had been studying for a very, very long time. Yet, these Talisman Arrays, which she had spent over half a year researching, were broken by Ye Tianling in the space of three breaths.

Liu Xu’Er was completely dumbfounded. Staring at Ye Tianling, for the first time ever, she felt a sense of awe.

"O-Okay... you’re right about everything. I never thought you were actually a genius."

Liu Xu’Er was completely convinced, but she also had a strange feeling in her heart.

"Hehe, so does that mean you regret it now? You’re the one who said we have a marriage agreement. How about being my little wife now?"

Ye Tianling chuckled slyly.

"In your dreams!"

Liu Xu’Er’s heart skipped a beat. If Ye Tianling continued to grow at this rate, his future achievements would surely be astounding.

Naturally, she wasn’t against the idea, but then she remembered where Ye Tianling had stabbed her with his sword. Instantly, a throbbing pain seemed to flare up on her butt.

The memory of that incident made her feel exceptionally humiliated.

And so, the sliver of admiration and goodwill that had just begun to form immediately vanished like smoke.

"I don’t just dream big, I’m also handsome."

Ye Tianling retorted.

Liu Xu’Er: "...You want me to be your Dao companion? In your next life!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianling wasn’t discouraged at all. Instead, he sighed emotionally, "So you’re already willing to love me for lifetime after lifetime, you don’t even want to let my next life go."

Liu Xu’Er rolled her eyes, clearly at a loss for words.

Seeing this, Ye Tianyun’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents, looking exceptionally pretty.

Clearly, she was in a very good mood as well.

"Brother, I’m just glad you’re okay. But since you escaped this time, if we run into that ’Tianshu’ again, won’t he come looking for payback? That man... he’s just too powerful. Despairingly so."

Ye Tianyun said softly.

She was still a little worried.

Provoking such a powerful being was a real headache.

"He won’t. I escaped with my own abilities. He’s too proud. If we meet again, he should be quite friendly. Of course, if he’s shameless enough to try and capture me again, I can still get away. A smart person like me only gets better and better after escaping once."

Ye Tianling still didn’t forget to boast.

Liu Xu’Er shot Ye Tianling another eye-roll, but the charm in the gesture stirred up his wicked thoughts again.

’Sigh, once you get a taste, you just want more. What am I going to do?’

Ye Tianling glanced at Liu Xu’Er. She was still a bit green, not as... hmm, mature and seductive as Yuan Haoning.

’But, thinking of Yuan Haoning...’ Ye Tianling wondered when he could transform into the Great Demon King again and go for another round.

Just as Ye Tianling’s thoughts were getting interesting, Liu Xu’Er’s pretty face turned beet red. Seeing the "tent" that had suddenly pitched in his pants, she cursed him silently.

’I never realized this blockhead was so bad!’

Liu Xu’Er grumbled to herself. Though her face was crimson, she instinctively snuck another peek at the bulge in Ye Tianling’s pants.

Ye Tianling hadn’t noticed before, but seeing Liu Xu’Er’s glance, he was taken aback for a moment. A strange idea then popped into his head.

"Like what you see? Want a closer look?"

Ye Tianling said with a sly grin.

"Pah! You shameless pig! You—you completely learned your bad habits from Tianshu!"

Liu Xu’Er snapped indignantly.

As she spoke, she shot Ye Tianling another fierce glare.

Ye Tianling really wanted to reach out and caress Liu Xu’Er’s cheek, but then he remembered he was currently in his identity as Ye Tianling and had to dismiss the thought.

"What do you mean, learned bad habits? I actually really like his way of doing things. I think it suits me well. So I’ve decided: I’m going to follow his example, learn from him, and then, one day, surpass him!"

Ye Tianling said with a serious expression.

’Is—is this still my innocent, honest-to-a-fault brother?’ Ye Tianyun also felt the urge to roll her eyes.

"If one day I lose my way, remember to tell me that I, your brother, was once pure."

Ye Tianling said solemnly.

"PFFT—"

Hearing this, Liu Xu’Er almost coughed up a mouthful of old blood.

...

"Oh, so the Yun Family has already submitted. I didn’t expect this Yun Wuxue to have that much magnanimity."

"Sword Tribulation Sixth Refining Realm? Is that strong? How strong?"

"Alright, I get it. But right now, I don’t know where Tianshu is either. I’ll go look for him."

"You guys want to go too? There’s no need. My strength isn’t bad now. Killing a few at the Sword Void Eighth Transformation or Sword Void Nine Transformations is no problem!"

Ye Tianling and Ye Tianyun were communicating via voice transmission.

But when Ye Tianling said he would go look for Tianshu alone, Ye Tianyun refused to agree, no matter what.

"You’ve only been in Cultivation for a short time. How many Dao Patterns have you accumulated in the Sword Void Seven Transformation Realm? Manifest them for us to see."

Ye Tianyun clearly didn’t believe in Ye Tianling’s strength.

"Hey—back me up on my Battle Power! Didn’t I help you before?"

Ye Tianling called out to Yuan Haoning.

This Yuan Haoning was like a female ghost, following them silently, never speaking, her face devoid of any smile.
