29: A deal with Yan Ruyu

Wuming took a step forward and appeared directly in the pavilion.

His appearance immediately caused the surrounding maids to look shocked.

But before they could react, Wuming struck and made them faint.

"Rest assured, it's just to make them sleep for a while. My Saint wishes to invite Young Miss Yan Ruyu for a visit, so I must ask Young Miss Yan Ruyu to come with me," Wuming said, looking at Yan Ruyu, who appeared calm on the surface.

"Of course, you may refuse." After saying this, Wuming glanced at the fallen Yao Race maids.

"I agree. I ask that you spare them, Senior." A melodious and ethereal voice rang out as Yan Ruyu stood up.

"What a clever little girl; no wonder you caught the Saint's eye." Wuming showed a satisfied smile, then tore through the Void Realm and left with Yan Ruyu.

In Yao Xi's room.

After spending a few hours doting on Yao Xi, Ye Wen heard Wei Wei say that an old man had brought an incredibly beautiful woman to see him.

Hearing Wei Wei's words, Ye Wen's face showed surprise. "So fast?"

Seeing this, Ye Wen comforted Yao Xi, then stood up and changed his clothes. At the same time, he asked Wei Wei to bring that woman up to the main hall, saying he would be there immediately.

Wei Wei agreed and then arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"My husband asked me to bring her up." Wei Wei's words made Wuming nod. "Naturally. Then I shall take my leave," Wuming said respectfully to Wei Wei.

Wei Wei looked at the flawless woman before her, thinking at first glance that she was a truly beautiful woman.

Is this the sister I will have in the future? I didn't expect my husband to find a new sister so quickly.

"Please follow me. My husband is waiting above." Wei Wei said very politely, then led Yan Ruyu up to the Main Peak.

In a short while, she brought her into the living room.

"Please, have a seat, and please have some tea." Wei Wei brought Yan Ruyu to the living room, and after letting her sit, poured her some tea.

Yan Ruyu did not expect that the person receiving her would be such a beautiful woman with a very gentle personality.

At this moment, she was very curious about which Saint had gotten married and had even dispatched a Saint to personally invite her.

Her curiosity was soon answered.

Not letting Yan Ruyu wait long, Ye Wen, having changed into pajamas, appeared before her.

"Husband." When Wei Wei saw Ye Wen come out, she went to his side and whispered quietly in his ear.

Hearing Wei Wei's words, Ye Wen patted her head and kissed her cheek a few times. "Alright, leave the rest to me. You go back and rest first." Ye Wen smiled and sent Wei Wei back.

After seeing Wei Wei back to her room, Ye Wen returned to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite Yan Ruyu. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Ye Wen, and I am currently the Saint of the Yaoguang Holy Land. Of course, you can also call me the Yaoguang Holy Master. Wuming didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

Ye Wen looked at Yan Ruyu. Seeing she was unharmed, he still asked to be sure.

"No, the Senior was very polite." Of course, Yan Ruyu could not admit she had been threatened.

Yan Ruyu said with a smile, "Then, I don't know why the Saint had Senior Wuming specially invite me here?" Inside, upon hearing Ye Wen's introduction, Yan Ruyu was already incredibly shocked.

"This? It's nothing much, I just want to make a transaction with you." Ye Wen looked at Yan Ruyu, then had the System project the Yao Tomb of the Azure Emperor.

"This is the tomb of your ancestor, the Yao Emperor. My trip to the Southern Region was also to retrieve your ancestor's Imperial Weapon, the chaos green lotus, and the Yao Emperor's Sacred Heart, right? Don't be surprised; I know more than you do."

"I had Wuming bring you here because I want to make a transaction with you. It's a win-win for both you and me. Young Miss Yan Ruyu, would you be willing to hear me out?"

Faced with Ye Wen's words, Yan Ruyu could only smile and say, "You've already had a Saint take action to bring me here; can I even refuse?" Yan Ruyu sighed softly, "Then, please tell me about this transaction you speak of, Saint."

Hearing Yan Ruyu's words, Ye Wen smiled. "The necessary procedures still need to be followed."

Ye Wen picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup. "The transaction is very simple. I will bring you the chaos green lotus and the Yao Emperor's Sacred Heart, and you will become my Dao Companion, staying by my side to engage in Dual Cultivation with me."

"No less than ten times a month; special days are calculated separately."

"I know where the Yao Emperor's tomb is, and I even know how to enter it. Without me, you will never be able to enter it in your life, nor will you know where it is. I can have Wuming take action to conceal it; with a Great Saint taking action, I think it will be sufficient."

Ye Wen's words made Yan Ruyu pause in surprise. She had not expected that the transaction Ye Wen spoke of was actually herself.

"Why me?" Yan Ruyu didn't think she was that attractive.

A Saint with a Great Saint as a backer—what kind of woman could he not have?

"Because you are a descendant of the Azure Emperor; it's that simple. My Physique is special, and I need to engage in Dual Cultivation with special women to improve my cultivation. Of course, for you, this is also a kind of Opportunity. You don't need to worry about me using any evil arts; I am a person of the Righteous Path and would not use such despicable means."

Ye Wen's words made Yan Ruyu feel that he was clearly protesting too much.

You are a person of the Righteous Path? Are all people of the Righteous Path like this? Then she had truly seen something new.

"Empty words are no proof." Yan Ruyu shook her head. She couldn't possibly believe him just based on a few words from Ye Wen.

"Indeed." Ye Wen nodded. "Then, tomorrow I will take you to retrieve it. For tonight, please spend the night here." Ye Wen knew that if he didn't show her what she wanted, she wouldn't agree.

Seeing this, Ye Wen stood up and led her to a room next door.

"Then, see you tomorrow morning." After nagging Yan Ruyu a few more times, Ye Wen returned to his own room.

Watching Ye Wen leave, Yan Ruyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems Ye Wen is at least that kind of person. If he can really help her retrieve the Imperial Weapon and the Yao Emperor's Sacred Heart, then agreeing to him wouldn't be impossible.

Just like that, Yan Ruyu stayed on Yao Xi's Main Peak for one night.

The next morning, Wei Wei came in to wake her up.

Seeing it was Wei Wei, Yan Ruyu expressed her gratitude.

With Wei Wei's help, Yan Ruyu tidied up her appearance and then went out.

Outside, Ye Wen had already been waiting for a long time.

"Good morning, Young Miss Yan Ruyu. Then please come with me; I will take you to retrieve your Yao Race's Imperial Weapon." Ye Wen led Yan Ruyu down the mountain.

Wei Wei and Yao Xi did not follow.

Below, Wuming had already been waiting for a long time.

Ye Wen looked at Wuming and told him a location. Wuming immediately tore through space and left the Yaoguang Holy Land with Ye Wen and Yan Ruyu.

Under Ye Wen's direction, Wuming quickly brought Ye Wen and Yan Ruyu to a volcanic crater.

"This is the place." Ye Wen looked down and spoke.

After confirming with the System, he finally looked at Wuming and said, "Take us down." Ye Wen didn't say what was below, but Wuming executed Ye Wen's orders very earnestly.

Just like that, Wuming carried Ye Wen and Yan Ruyu and charged directly into the churning magma of the volcanic crater below.
