Then, a clap of thunder descended from the sky. The lightning was unusually bright, blinding everyone's eyes for a moment. When it was about to strike, the entire Palace of Nine Supremes shook.
King Yanluo came out, covering his eyes. He turned to Dugu Chou and said, "I'm telling you, although your wife has been successfully revived, you can only look and not move in these first sixteen years. Do you understand? This is actually the process of growing from a baby to a sixteen-year-old. You can't move without permission, understand? "
Dugu Chou asked anxiously, "Can we talk?"
"Yes, I can." King Yanluo rolled his eyes. "But the thing that can only be done between husband and wife has to be strictly forbidden in these sixteen years. No exceptions can be made!"
Dugu Chou's face was flushed as he nodded. "I know! I know! "
"She still has a natural medicinal fragrance on her. It's tempting to commit a crime … You guys figure this out yourselves. I'm leaving."
King Yanluo was about to vanish into a cloud of gray mist. Just as he was about to burrow into the ground, he said, "Dugu Chou, your wife is naked. Find her some clothes quickly …"
With that, he disappeared without a trace.
Dugu Chou dashed forward with a cry. Then, the group heard a soft voice say something in the wraith fog. Then, Dugu Chou repeated the words.
The group exchanged a smile and disappeared in unison, not wanting to be the third wheel.
When Dugu Chou and his wife walked out, they realized that the back of the mountain was empty.
Obviously, everyone had avoided them.
…
When Dugu Chou came out with his wife, he was greeted by hundreds of people. The entire Palace of Nine Supremes' upper echelons were huddled together excitedly, watching with widened eyes.
"So beautiful …"
"She's the martial world's top beauty indeed …"
"Exactly. No wonder Dugu Chou can't forget her. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to let it go either …"
Dugu Chou was all smiles as he bowed to everyone. "Please make way … Cough … Thank you, thank you. Let us go thank the sect leader first … Everyone, remember to come and drink … Remember …"
The group answered in unison.
Dugu Chou's wife's face was flushed. She grabbed Dugu Chou's hand tightly with one hand and lowered her head, not daring to lift it. She had never thought that she would be able to see the light of day again after being muddled for so long!
He even had a body!
He was still alive!
It was like a dream.
Moreover, he was surrounded by so many people the moment he walked out with a body …
…
The main hall was brightly lit. It was already midnight.
"Thank you, Lord Supreme Cloud, thank you, Madam!"
Dugu Chou and his wife fell to their knees before Yun Yang, kowtowing repeatedly. Their gratitude could not be expressed with words.
When one's cultivation base had reached Dugu Chou's level, it was rare for him to even bend his back or bow his body, let alone kneeling. Now, however, he was prostrating himself on the ground, kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic. There was no other reason other than the deep love between husband and wife, and the grudge they had against the netherworld.
"There's no need to be so courteous. We're a family." Yun Yang helped the couple up with a friendly expression. Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu, on the other hand, circled Dugu Chou's wife curiously, studying her from head to toe.
They had seen with their own eyes a pile of elixirs turn into a person, and now, he was alive, alive and well!
Anyone who saw such a scene that exceeded their understanding would inevitably feel that it was strange.
If it were not for the fact that they thought it was rude, both of them would have gone forward to touch her and take off her clothes to see for themselves …
However, there was one thing that the King Yanluo had mentioned before. Dugu Chou's wife was now a spiritual medicine in human form. Just by looking at her, the fragrance she exuded was enough to lift one's spirits.
Ji Lingxi could not help speaking to Shangguan Lingxiu telepathically, "Do you think Dugu Chou will not be able to hold himself back and eat his wife in the future?"
Shangguan Lingxiu shuddered, staring at Ji Lingxi with widened eyes.
Ji Lingxi chuckled dryly. "I'm just saying …"
…
"Dugu, now that your wish has been fulfilled, do you have any plans for the future?"
Yun Yang could feel Dugu Chou's current state of mind and could not help sighing inwardly.
Perhaps, this was the best thing that could happen to Dugu Chou.
Dugu Chou was stunned for a moment before he said, "Going against the Demon Race will naturally be the first priority."
Yun Yang asked, "What happens after that?"
Dugu Chou was taken aback when he heard the question. Realization dawned in his eyes immediately.
He hesitated and said, "Looking at Lord Supreme Cloud's arrangements during this period of time, I'm rather touched. If the Bound of Universe's humans are defeated after this battle, Lord Supreme Cloud might stay in this world for a while longer. However, if the humans win, I'm afraid that Lord Supreme Cloud will have to leave this world. "
Yun Yang nodded but did not speak.
"Half a year ago, I finally broke through to the level of a Demigod. This level is already a height that I dare not dream of. If I'm lucky enough to survive this battle … "
Dugu Chou gritted his teeth and said, "I want to stay, to stay in the Bound of Universe for a long time."
Yun Yang sighed and said, "I understand."
With Dugu Chou's cultivation base and his fervent determination as a martial maniac, he would definitely achieve greater things if he followed Yun Yang to break through the celestial palace. He would be a great help to Yun Yang in the future, and he might even be able to reach the pinnacle of the universe!
Now, however, Dugu Chou had made such a decision. It was heart-wrenching, yet touching.
"Dugu, my original intention was not to resurrect your wife right now … but Lingxi was worried that something might go wrong in this battle and that you would have a great regret … That's why I've brought this forward …"
Yun Yang said, "If you're avoiding it because of this, you don't have to. In the universe, we can support each other and ensure our own safety. "
"Of course, I know that … but …"
Dugu Chou chuckled humorlessly and turned to look at his wife. "I, Dugu Chou, have cultivated my entire life and been determined to forge ahead. What I've relied on is my indomitable will. Now, however, my lifelong wish has been fulfilled. Even if I follow Lord Supreme Cloud to ascend to the universe, I'll lose the will to improve and it'll be hard for me to achieve more in the future. "
"The second reason is that my humble wife has been blessed by Lord Supreme Cloud to be reborn, to transcend the cycle of reincarnation and return to the mortal realm. This is a great opportunity. Although a body forged with spiritual medicine is a step to heaven and a promising future, we still have to live under this sky. My humble wife is the top natural medicine, a treasure of heaven and earth that possesses the power to overturn the cycle of reincarnation. She's one of a kind in this world. Even if we go to the universe, we might still attract the covetous eyes of the strong. We might not be helping you, but adding to the troubles by following you. "
"Who knows when an accident might happen because of her physique. If we stay in the Bound of Universe, no one in this world will be able to do anything to us. We'll be safe. "
"I, Dugu Chou, don't want to face this regret again."
"There's a third reason … I can see that all the peak masters and Ling Xiao have the ambition to soar into the sky. I believe that they will leave the Bound of Universe in the future and ascend to a higher level. I, Dugu Chou, will stay in the Palace of Nine Supremes … I dare not say more, but my wife and I will protect the Palace of Nine Supremes for you, so that it will remain safe and sound! "
"Therefore, staying behind to look after the house is more suitable for me now!"
Dugu Chou said resolutely.
Yun Yang sighed. "That's good too. Everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force it."
The reason why Yun Yang sighed was because of the first reason that Dugu Chou had mentioned.
After his wife's resurrection, Dugu Chou's indomitable will to forge ahead had vanished into thin air. Other than the war between the two tribes in the Bloody Soul Mountain, the only thought that remained in his mind was to spend the rest of his life with his wife.
Such a Dugu Chou would only be like what he had said – he would not be able to go far. If he were to force him to follow him to traverse the universe, he might be harming him instead. How could a martial artist who had lost the will to forge ahead expect too much? He was destined to be powerless!
The second reason was also the truth. A spiritual herb in human form like this was rare even in the universe. If a starry warrior were to encounter it, something would definitely happen to him due to this physique. The risk was considerable.
"You don't have to sigh for me anymore, Veritable Leader. To me, my life has never been more complete. I have no more regrets," Dugu Chou said in satisfaction.
"Besides, if all of us leave, I won't be at ease if there's no one to guard the base."
…
Watching Dugu Chou carefully supporting his wife who was still walking unnaturally, Ji Lingxi and Shangguan Lingxiu could not hide the envy on their faces.
"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's hard to find a lover. For that woman to be able to obtain such a man … her life is not in vain. "
Shangguan Lingxiu sighed as well. "Her lover passed away, separated by life and death, but her infatuation never changed. She waited for an illusory chance of resurrection for hundreds of years. For this, she did not hesitate to risk her life … Finally, her dream came true, her soul returned, and they were reunited … This is a legendary love story, one that makes others envious."
Yun Yang said with a dark expression, "Husband and wife have reunited. What are you two saying here? Are you really that envious?"
Ji Lingxi snorted and said with a similarly dark expression, "Alright, I'll let you two reunite today. I won't be an eyesore here anymore … "
Before her words echoed in the air, she left with a flick of her sleeves.
Shangguan Lingxiu, on the other hand, was flushed, stunned on the spot.
Yun Yang was dumbfounded, still in disbelief. What did she mean? Had the seal been lifted?
Or perhaps, it was Shangguan Lingxiu …
His thoughts raced and his reflexes were lightning fast. He grabbed Shangguan Lingxiu, who was about to leave, and asked, "Sister Lingxiu, what did Lingxi mean by that?"
Shangguan Lingxiu was flushed as she struggled with all her might, but she felt weak all over. She covered her face and said, "How would I know what she meant? Why don't you ask her what she said …"
Yun Yang did not let go of her and said, "I'm afraid she doesn't understand either. Why don't you explain it to the public, Sister Lingxiu? It's alright, I'm patient. You can explain it again and again. I'll experience it carefully and think about it slowly. I'll understand eventually …"
As he spoke, he scooped Shangguan Lingxiu up and walked towards his own dormitory with a strange chuckle.
As he walked, he laid down layer after layer of Sage Restrictions, blocking all possible spies from the outside.
Shangguan Lingxiu felt weak all over as she was held in his embrace. Her head was buzzing as well, as if she had lost the ability to think. Her powerful strength that was already at the pinnacle of this world was nowhere to be found. Suddenly, she felt a softness on her back – she had been placed on the bed …
"No, no … Don't … You …" Shangguan Lingxiu tried to push him away, but it was as if she was welcoming him.
"Heh heh heh …" Yun Yang tossed his clothes aside and chuckled strangely. "Sister Lingxiu, this young brother has been waiting for this day for far too long … Hmm … years …"
…
(Sixty-six thousand, six hundred and sixty-six words have been omitted here. I won't describe it in detail, lest everyone accuses me of being lazy. You don't have to thank me for saving a few bucks of subscription fees for everyone.)
That night, his wish was finally fulfilled. Yun Yang, who had gotten rid of the title of 'Little White', did not sleep the entire night.
When the sun rose from the east the next day and the horizon broke, Supreme Leader Yun got off the bed and dressed himself slowly. He said slowly, "I'm going to check on the disciples' cultivation. What are they trying to do by breaking through the seals so early in the morning …"
Shangguan Lingxiu, who was behind him, did not respond. She had long fallen into a deep sleep.
For the entire night, the only thing that Shangguan Lingxiu was thankful for was that her cultivation base was still decent and that she had listened to her master and only given it to him after attaining the level of a saint. In spite of this, she did not rest for the entire night. She was mentally and physically exhausted …
The longest break she had was to say a few words, "I can't take it anymore. Sleep for a while?"
"It's okay, I can take it …"
'You can take it, but I can't … '
Shangguan Lingxiu felt that she had never slept so soundly since she started practicing martial arts.
It was as if she could not wake up even if the sky were to fall.
Just as Yun Yang walked out of the hall, he was immediately sealed off with layers of seals. He asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
It was none other than Ji Lingxi.
Ji Lingxi's face was filled with jealousy. She pouted and said in an annoyed tone, "What do you think? Did you have a good night last night? You must be satisfied and high-spirited after tasting what you wanted, right? "
Yun Yang chuckled and said with a smug face, "How am I satisfied? It's far from enough … If you …"
Ji Lingxi's face was flushed as she said angrily, "Nonsense! What nonsense are you spouting? Be careful that I don't beat you up, you lecher!"
Yun Yang laughed. "Who's outside?"
Yun Xiuxin's voice rang out, "Master, it's your disciple. Please grant me a meeting regarding the report on the casualties in Blood Soul Mountain last month. "
Yun Yang nodded and said, "Come in."
Yun Xiuxin came in with her head shrunk. When she saw Yun Yang's face, her eyes lit up and she blurted out, "Master, you look so handsome today! Did something good happen? "
Yun Yang could not help but smile from the bottom of his heart. "Yes, yes, there are indeed many good things … Show me the report."
What he saw was Ji Lingxi rolling her eyes in a frenzy.
She took the report and skimmed through it, musing for a while before saying, "Well done. Have the compensation for the deceased disciples been sent? Is there someone to supervise it?"
Feng Lingtian said.
I realized that there are geniuses among you … Many of you can predict perfectly as described in this chapter, and many of you can think of things that I can't …
