What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real?

"At the very beginning, the puppets of the Divine Sea Society simply wandered throughout the God Realm."

"They never took the initiative to attack any member of the God Clan or any divine beast."

"But later, they changed."

"They began actively hunting divine beasts that lived near water, then using a secret technique to steal their abilities."

"They don't care how strong their prey is."

"Even divine beasts that are only in the New God Realm are targeted."

"Not long ago, a qilin beast belonging to one of my fellow cultivators encountered one of the Divine Sea Society's puppets."

"It was fortunate enough to be rescued."

"But its innate divine ability had already been stolen, and even its hide had completely lost its color."

"My fellow cultivator was heartbroken, so I've been hunting the Divine Sea Society's puppets ever since, to avenge her."

Hearing this, Ye Yu's expression immediately turned strange.

A qilin beast... lost its color?

"Is your fellow cultivator named Gu Qinglan?"

Ye Yu's question caught Cao Angyang by surprise.

"You know Fellow Cultivator Gu as well?"

Ye Yu nodded.

"I suppose you could say that."

Thinking back to what had happened between the two of them before...

It was social death in the truest sense.

He had probably completely ruined his image in Gu Qinglan's eyes by now.

Sigh... It couldn't be helped. It had all been a coincidence.

Compared to him, this Cao Angyang was a genuinely warmhearted man.

Ye Yu teased, "You're awfully good to Gu Qinglan. Her divine beast suffered a little, and you immediately started hunting the Divine Sea Society's puppets. What, are you trying to move her?"

The moment he heard that, Cao Angyang's gaze darted away, and a faint blush even crept across his face.

"W-What do you mean, move her? I... I just wanted to do something for Fellow Cultivator Gu. Don't go making things up."

Ye Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

To be honest, he really couldn't appreciate this kind of bashful, lovestruck grown man.

The guy had already become a god, yet he was still nursing an unspoken crush?

That was honestly pretty hilarious.

Still, everyone had the right to make their own choices.

Even if {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} he didn't understand it, Ye Yu respected it.

"Fine, I won't tease you anymore. But let me give you one piece of advice. If you like someone, pursue them as soon as you can. You never know whether someone else will get there first."

"Don't wait until it's too late and spend the rest of your life regretting it. That's the most pathetic outcome of all."

Cao Angyang listened carefully, then cupped his fists.

"Thank you for the guidance, Fellow Cultivator. However... I'd appreciate it if you didn't tell Fellow Cultivator Gu anything yet. After I kill a hundred Divine Sea Society puppets, I want to tell her myself."

Ye Yu gave him a thumbs-up.

"I hereby recognize you as the second most devoted man in the God Realm."

"Don't ask why you're not first."

"Because first place belongs to me."

With the matter settled, Cao Angyang finally let out a sigh of relief before looking around.

"Honestly, it's no surprise that the Divine Sea Society targeted the Divine Alliance's tower."

"After all, it's a gathering place for a great number of divine beasts."

"But judging from the scene, those puppets were ruthless. They slaughtered every member of the God Clan and every divine beast here."

"They deserve to die."

"I originally thought there would be a large number of puppets gathered here, but it looks like I arrived too late."

As he spoke, Cao Angyang stored the enormous head of the Sea God puppet inside his Storage Ring before continuing,

"Next, I'll continue searching for traces of those puppets elsewhere and try to collect a hundred of their heads as soon as possible."

"If fate allows, we'll meet again."

"Hold on."

Ye Yu called out to stop him, then walked straight over and raised his right hand.

Cao Angyang stared at him in complete confusion, having no idea what he was supposed to do.

"A handshake. It's a custom where I come from. Though judging by your expression, you're probably not used to it, so never mind. What I wanted to say is, since we're both friends of Gu Qinglan, that makes us friends too."

"Until we meet again."

As he spoke, Ye Yu casually slapped Cao Angyang on the shoulder.

Perfect.

The setup was completely natural.

That's right. There was no reason not to use Divine Touch on such an excellent tool... I mean, friend.

Detected contact with Cao Angyang, Sword God at the peak of the Ancient God Realm.

Reward: cultivation at the peak of the Heavenly God Realm.

The system's voice echoed through Ye Yu's mind, instantly putting him in an excellent mood.

This guy really was something else.

He had directly dropped cultivation as a reward.

Wonderful.

Cao Angyang staggered from the slap before lowering his head to look at his shoulder.

Their homeland's custom? So... the Demon Race?

Could this shoulder slap be part of their customs too?

After pondering for a moment, Cao Angyang gathered his strength and slapped Ye Yu firmly on the shoulder as well.

"Until we meet again!"

Ye Yu's face instantly became expressionless.

"Oh?"

"You put some force into that one, didn't you?"

He raised his hand again and gave Cao Angyang another slap on the shoulder.

"Then until we meet again!"

That single slap sent Cao Angyang sliding nearly half a meter sideways through the air.

The pain made him bare his teeth.

As stubborn as ever, and unwilling to lose, Cao Angyang gritted his teeth, gathered every ounce of strength he had, and returned the favor with another slap.

"Then... until we meet again!"

Unfortunately for him, Ye Yu's physical body was far beyond anything he could have imagined.

Ye Yu didn't even budge.

Instead, he slowly raised his palm once more.

"So you like slapping shoulders, huh?"

"Fine."

"Today I'll show you what true strength can accomplish!"

Whoosh!

The sound of air being torn apart rang out—

But the strike hit nothing.

Cao Angyang was already standing high in the air, his heart still pounding with lingering fear.

"Brother Ye... I really can't handle the customs from your homeland."

"Let's just leave it at that."

Ye Yu curled his lips.

"I hadn't even used my real strength yet, and you're already quitting?"

"That's a little excessive."

Still, the man had already put it that way.

Besides, he had generously rewarded Ye Yu with cultivation.

Ye Yu decided to let him off.

He waved his hand.

"Until we meet again."

"Until we meet again."

Before the last word had even finished echoing, Cao Angyang had already disappeared without a trace.

A thousand miles away, within a mountain range—

Cao Angyang leaned weakly against a large tree, clutching his right arm with one hand, his face deathly pale.

"My arm..."

"I think it's broken."

Fortunately, he had admitted defeat and run away early enough.

Otherwise, if Ye Yu's final slap had actually landed...

He probably would have coughed up blood on the spot.

Sigh...

The Demon Race's customs are terrifying.

Two months later—

After deliberately traveling from place to place with a clear objective, Ye Yu successfully advanced to the late stage of the Golden God Realm.

Rising an entire major realm in such a short time was already an impressive achievement.

Originally, Ye Yu had planned to wait until he reached the Ancient God Realm before returning to the western region of the God Realm to kill that toad.

But no plan in the world ever unfolded exactly as intended.

Just like now.

Ye Yu received a communication stone message from Wan Xiaoge.

"Fellow Cultivator, emergency! Get over here, quickly!"

"I'll introduce you to an entire Divine Alliance full of brothers!"
