"Let’s cultivate here for a while. Afterward, we’ll use the War Dragon Academy’s Heaven-Reaching Tower to go to the Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City. I’ll teach you how to condense Battle Power Dao Patterns there."
Ye Tianling took Yuan Haoning’s hand and spoke softly.
Yuan Haoning immediately struggled, trying to pull away, but she couldn’t break free at all!
’You... how can you be so forceful and domineering!’
Yuan Haoning’s heart pounded wildly, and for a moment, her defenses crumbled.
"I am this forceful and domineering. Are you only just realizing that now?"
Ye Tianling laughed, holding Yuan Haoning’s hand without letting go.
Yuan Haoning’s delicate hands were soft and beautiful, slightly cold to the touch, and felt wonderful in his grasp.
Ye Tianling hadn’t expected such a delightful experience, and the itch in his heart grew a little stronger.
’This... could the saying that the Dragon Race is naturally lecherous be true? How is it that after my Dragon Soul Divine Blood awakened my latent Talent, I seem even more... lustful? This isn’t a good sign!’
Ye Tianling noticed this change in himself but didn’t dwell on it.
He felt he was still too pure. Even if he had become a little impure now, it was no big deal.
...
「Blood-Colored Wilderness, Ancient City Plaza.」
The moment the white light from the Heaven-Reaching Tower converged, Ye Tianling executed the "One Qi and the Three Pristine Ones" technique, separating his Dao Body.
The figure of Tianshu manifested, appearing in the plaza.
Following him, Ye Tianling and Yuan Haoning appeared one after the other.
"Ye Tianling, you actually managed to escape from me. You’ve got some skill."
Tianshu’s cold voice, laced with a wicked, unrestrained air, sent a chill through Yuan Haoning the moment she appeared.
Just then, Ye Tianling’s hand suddenly landed on Yuan Haoning’s shoulder, and with a gentle tug, he pulled her into his embrace.
"Hmm? Ye Tianling, what is the meaning of this?"
Tianshu’s expression instantly turned colder, a hint of mockery and wicked charm flashing in his eyes.
Ye Tianling looked at ’Tianshu’ and said calmly, "It’s exactly what it looks like. If you’ve got what it takes, why don’t you make her fall for you?"
Yuan Haoning’s face was pale. She hadn’t expected to run into Tianshu the moment she entered the Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City.
Her mind went blank as an intangible fear filled her body and soul, leaving her ice-cold.
At the same time, Ye Tianling’s shoulder gave her a powerful sense of security, so much so that she didn’t even want to leave his strong embrace.
"Yuan Haoning, you like him? This idiot?"
Tianshu shot Ye Tianling a contemptuous glance and scoffed.
"I... I just like him, so what? Is it any of your business? Who do you think you are!"
Yuan Haoning took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and retorted coldly.
A playful look appeared on Tianshu’s face. He chuckled and said, "Oh? Then like him all you want. But if I find out you’re just using him as a shield, I’ll be sure to capture you again next time... and make you properly experience that old feeling!"
Hearing this, Ye Tianling said ’angrily,’ "You’re courting death!"
Tianshu shrugged nonchalantly. "Kid, you’d better grow up fast. You’re still not my match, though you’ve at least qualified to be my opponent now. If I were to destroy you at this point, the journey ahead would be far too boring. Keep it up, kiddo, I’ve got high hopes for you!"
As Tianshu spoke, he reached out to pat Ye Tianling’s shoulder.
Ye Tianling’s figure moved, intending to dodge, but he ’found’ that he was completely unable to avoid it!
"Die!"
Ye Tianling summoned the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword. With a single strike, he unleashed his Celestial Evil Heaven-Breaking Annihilation Dao and charged at ’Tianshu’.
DING—
The Tianshu Myriad Paths Imperial Qilin Armor manifested. ’Tianshu’ didn’t even fight back, yet the Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword failed to break through the armor’s Defense Power.
"Still a long way to go. Work hard. I’m about to break the taboo of the Blood-Colored Wilderness and step into the danger zone outside the Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City. We should hunt some Battle Souls together when you have time."
Tianshu said with a grin.
Ye Tianling silently retracted his Xuanyuan Celestial Evil Sword and replied coolly, "Fine."
"Good. You two lovebirds, enjoy your sweet time together. Yuan Haoning, when you’re being all lovey-dovey with him, whatever you do, don’t think of me! HAHAHAHA, life is truly as lonely as snow. My Long Spear will have to wait a long time for another chance to battle!"
Tianshu laughed wickedly as his figure gradually faded into the distance.
"Damn him!"
Yuan Haoning gritted her teeth in hatred, biting down so hard she drew blood.
"He’s very strong. But he still cares a lot about you; he’s just not good at expressing it. Besides, my attack was just a probe. It’s not that I couldn’t win against him, but if we fought, it would most likely end with us both severely injured."
Ye Tianling thought for a moment before speaking seriously.
Yuan Haoning’s expression turned glum. "His Battle Armor has incredible Defense Power. It’s probably an Ancestral Artifact. I know you didn’t use your full strength, but he... probably didn’t either. I really don’t want to see that person ever again. Let’s leave this Blood-Colored Wilderness Ancient City soon and head for the Second Heaven World of the True Void Divine Realm."
Yuan Haoning’s spirits were extremely low.
Ye Tianling thought for a moment and said, "If you like him, then go after him. I won’t blame you; it’s your choice. But if you decide to be with me, then forget the past. I’m more than willing to accept you."
An inexplicable warmth spread through Yuan Haoning’s heart, and a mist began to form in her beautiful eyes. "Ye Tianling, what have I ever done to deserve you treating me like this..."
Ye Tianling said softly, "Because I like you. If you’re that moved, then how about we engage in some Yin Yang Harmony?"
Yuan Haoning’s pretty face flushed red. She glared at Ye Tianling, and the sliver of ’gratitude’ she felt immediately vanished. "So *this* is your goal in being with me?"
Ye Tianling chuckled. "When a man showers a woman with attention, isn’t this the ultimate goal? Besides, the harmony of Yin and Yang is the great way of human relations. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. The Dragon Race has always been fiery-natured, daring to love and hate. Why be so secretive about it?"
Yuan Haoning was actually at a loss for words.
But after Ye Tianling’s bout of teasing, her gloomy mood had improved significantly.
"Ye Tianling, thank you," Yuan Haoning said softly all of a sudden.
"Huh?"
Ye Tianling was a bit stunned. Just then, Yuan Haoning took the initiative to lean in and kiss his cheek before pulling away from his embrace.
"What are you... trying to do?"
Ye Tianling asked, feigning ignorance.
Yuan Haoning rolled her eyes at him, then stared at him seriously and said in a low voice, "Ye Tianling, aren’t you worried that I’ll just use you to achieve my goals and then kick you to the curb? You’re very good to me, very thoughtful, but I carry many burdens... I’m a person who brings misfortune."
Ye Tianling was a little speechless.
’Why are women so much trouble?’
’Why are they all so emotional?’
’If there’s some misfortune, can’t I just crush it with absolute power? What’s the point?’
’What are you so conflicted about, Yuan Haoning? Do you really need me to reveal my other identity before you can be at ease?’
"Well, why don’t you achieve your goals first and then we’ll see? Who knows, by then you might be head over heels in love with me. Alright, enough with the melodrama. I’m taking you to slay some Battle Beasts!"
Ye Tianling reached out and pinched Yuan Haoning’s cheek, leaving her with a look of utter bewilderment.
’This Ye Tianling... he’s really audacious!’
Yuan Haoning couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Of course, at that moment, she had also emerged from the shadow of her despair and sorrow.
