"You promised I could stay if we defeated the demon race!" Ye Liuyun rubbed his temples as Qin ngxi stubbornly refused to return ho.
Qin ngxi argued back fiercely, "You said it yourself—if I perford well and adapted to battle, you'd let stay! I've trained relentlessly, fought with everything I had, and proved myself every single day. My combat skills aren't lacking, so why are you forcing to leave?"
Her voice cracked as tears welled up, her fingers clutching desperately at Liang Xue's sleeve. Between sobs, she accused Ye Liuyun, "You were the one who promised to take with you, then abandoned ! Do you know how long I searched for you? When I finally found you, I pushed myself to the limit—training, fighting demons, enduring pain, even risking my life—just to stay by your side… And now you're sending away? Do you really hate that much?"
Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng, and the other won quickly gathered around to console her, shooting reproachful glances at Ye Liuyun. "She's suffered so much just to follow you," Liang Xue reasoned. "She's proven her dedication. Why not let her stay?"
Ye Liuyun wasn't sure whether Qin ngxi's tears were genuine or if soone had coached her, but he had no defense against this tactic. With a sigh, he left the matter to Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng, retreating into his spatial realm to focus on cultivation.
The final battle against the ancient demons had exposed his shortcomings. Despite his pride in his soul force and power of bloodline, others still surpassed him. A sense of urgency gnawed at him—he needed to grow stronger, fast.
anwhile, the won huddled together, discussing Qin ngxi's situation before dispatching soldiers to prepare the Spirit Cat warship for a trip to the Qin family. They had already decided to keep her, but first, she needed to visit ho and reassure her family.
Only after receiving assurances from Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng did Qin ngxi agree to go. Her fear of being abandoned again had kept her silent, though she secretly longed to see her family and ease their worries.
Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng saw this as a chance for everyone to unwind after the grueling battles. Besides Qin ngxi, others like Lin Fei'er, Lin Xueying, Qi Tianyue, and Lan Ruobing had been waiting patiently—so less involved in combat, their progress slower, their monts with Ye Liuyun rare.
Though they never complained, quietly managing resources and supporting the group, the won felt it was ti Ye Liuyun acknowledged them properly. Qin ngxi's relentless devotion—braving danger, enduring hardships, even avoiding ho just to stay by his side—had moved them all.
So Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng took charge, speaking privately with each woman and urging them to seize this opportunity. All agreed readily—except Qin ngxi, who flushed and stamred, "I-I'm not ntally prepared yet..."
Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng both told her, "You're lucky to have caught this opportunity—it's a huge advantage. Do you know how many won have waited for him for years?
You've seen how busy he is every day, constantly embroiled in battles. If you don't seize this chance yourself, he'll never think of it on his own. And as for when you'll get another turn—well, we can't guarantee that."
During this ti, Qin ngxi had also heard the won talk extensively about Ye Liuyun and learned about his nickna, "The Blockhead." She realized she needed to be bolder and take the initiative, so she agreed. Matters among the won were always easy to settle among themselves.
Once everything was confird, Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng planned a major break, ensuring every woman was considered. Their goal was to help Ye Liuyun attend to each one's feelings—even arranging visits to Xuan Yuanling, Liu Yunyao, Xiao Yunfang in the army, and ng Qingyin—so that all the won could be settled in one go.
Then, Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng secretly contacted Yu Xiaofeng to inquire about the progress of the various armies. Learning that they still wanted more training, they knew the timing was perfect—it wouldn't interfere with Ye Liuyun's major plans. They then asked Yu Xiaofeng to arrange temporary replacents for Xiao Yunfang and ng Qingyin and to coordinate with Xuan Yuanling and Liu Yunyao. The won were all bustling with activity.
anwhile, Ye Liuyun remained completely in the dark. He didn't even ask which direction the battleship was heading until he finished his cultivation and realized they were already approaching the Qin family's territory.
All these days, he and his two avatars had been refining their advance energy and sparring with skeletal puppets, often ending up battered and bruised, needing to recover in the Life Spring.
Beyond physical and advance energy cultivation, he also patrolled his spatial world, devouring the souls of troublemakers to strengthen his own spiritual power.
The blood essence of the Blood King's blood puppet had been fully absorbed by him and his avatars, pushing their power of bloodline to a whole new level.
This enhancent brought an unusual sensation—as if his bloodline could now "breathe" on its own during circulation, naturally rging with the power of heaven and earth to temper and refine itself.
"From now on, my power of bloodline can gradually improve on its own!"
After sensing the change, Ye Liuyun suddenly realized that his bloodline might have already reached the level of the "Return to One" realm ahead of ti.
He sought out Li Daoyuan for confirmation, but Li Daoyuan's bloodline was far weaker and couldn't serve as a reference. So, he had to let it go. In any case, any increase in strength was a good thing.
During this period, he also had Lin Luoyi refine specialized pills for consolidating bloodline, soul, and physique, ensuring that absorbing too much chaotic energy wouldn't leave his power unstable.
The reason he stopped cultivating was that he had already refined his strength in all aspects to a sufficient degree. The rest would require gradual, long-term effort—especially in advance energy, the power of heaven and earth, spatial force, and temporal force, all of which were key focuses for his growth.
When Ye Liuyun finally erged and asked about their destination, he learned that the won had decided to keep Qin ngxi and were now taking her ho to bid farewell. He didn't oppose letting her stay.
He had no way to handle Qin ngxi—she had already declared that if he didn't take her along, she'd go to the alien battlefield alone. And since all the other won had agreed, his objections would likely be useless anyway.
