135: Chapter 135 Only by becoming stronger can I speak out.

"Yes, I will fully follow Master's arrangements."

Seeing that the nine heavens god-slaying spear was already in Master's hand, Ye Xuan felt the weight lift from his heart. Leng Qianming's opportunity had been secured, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief regarding what would follow.

"Oh? Pretty Boy, aren't you afraid that Master will take it and never give it back?" Master Shen Xi teased.

Ye Xuan shook his head nonchalantly and chuckled. "If you take it, you take it. After all, isn't Master's stuff also Pretty Boy's stuff? Besides, I can't use it for the time being anyway."

"Cheeky!" Hidden beneath the haze, Master Shen Xi's celestial face couldn't help but break into a breathtaking smile, though Ye Xuan couldn't see it.

"Huh? Master's future has changed as well?"

Ye Xuan looked closely, and his expression shifted slightly.

[Name: Master Shen Xi]

[Realm: Tenth Fold Saint Profound Realm]

[Constitution: Hongmeng Immortal Body (Gold)]

[Providence: True Immortal Demeanor (Gold), Pure and Elegant (Gold), Emperor of the Sword (Gold), Royal Dragon Kin (Gold), Light Profound Power (Gold), Dreamlike Celestial Countenance (Gold), Outshining the Master (Gold), Love of a Lifetime (Gold)]

[Favorability: 97]

[Destiny: "life modification without regret" (Supporting Character), "My Rebel Disciple's Filial Piety Seems to Have Changed" (Protagonist), "My Sword Immortal Wife" (Supporting Character)]

[Life Destiny: Today, she used the azure dragon undying herb given by her disciple Ye Xuan. Not only did her injuries heal completely, but her cultivation also reached a higher level, achieving the tenth fold of the Saint Realm and allowing her to sense the existence of the Emperor Realm.]

[In the evening, to satisfy her disciple Ye Xuan's request, she voluntarily dispersed the haze around her, giving him an eye-opening treat. Afterward, she helped her disciple Ye Xuan refine the zixiao divine thunder core, bringing his Zixiao Divine Thunder Body to completion.]

[Then, learning the whereabouts of the nine heavens god-slaying spear from Ye Xuan, she personally went to the Mystic Ice Purgatory and retrieved the ancient profound weapon—the nine heavens god-slaying spear.]

[Two days later, she personally executed the decaying Saint of the Zhao family, Ancestor Zhao Buling, and the decaying Saint of the Wang family, Wang Yousheng. Taking this opportunity, she launched a thorough purge of the Cangqiong Holy Land, finally giving the Cangqiong Holy Land a completely fresh start.]

[More than ten days later, her disciple Ye Xuan brought back "Jun Ze", who had been possessed by the remnant soul of the Ancient Alchemy Emperor Xinghe, and warned her to be extremely careful as "Jun Ze" might have a backup plan.]

[Later, she performed a soul search on "Jun Ze", but accidentally fell victim to the Ancient Alchemy Emperor's backup plan, an ancient curse—Nine Immortals Fall of the Beauty. She temporarily suppressed the curse using her Light Profound Power.]

[Twenty-three days later, on a certain night, she finally could not resist. She slipped into the courtyard where her disciple Ye Xuan resided, abducted him, and brought him back to her boudoir, subsequently obtaining Ye Xuan's pri...]

[Ye Xuan also benefited from it, and his cultivation surged.]

[Another month later, Master Shen Xi wanted to take a step further and break into the Great Emperor Realm, hoping to once again make use of Ye Xuan's pri...]

[One year later, the Cangqiong Holy Land hosted a grand gathering of geniuses from across the entire Eastern Wasteland Region. Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty brought generous gifts and personally proposed to Master Shen Xi.]

"Sure enough, Master's favorability toward me has reached ninety-seven. No wonder her gaze was so gentle." Ye Xuan couldn't help but recall the soft and elegant look in Master Shen Xi's eyes when she had dispersed the haze around her earlier.

"Heh, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong of the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty proposed to Master? Who does this guy think he is? What nerve!"

Just the thought of someone proposing to his master in the future made Ye Xuan feel inexplicably uncomfortable, giving him an intense, deep-seated aversion to this Xuanyuan Changkong.

After hesitating repeatedly, Ye Xuan still asked Master Shen Xi beside him, "Master, do you know about the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty?"

"The Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty's current ruler, Human Emperor Xuanyuan Changkong, has a cultivation at the sixth fold of the Saint Profound Realm. Why? Are you very interested in him?"

Master Shen Xi indifferently shared the information about the Xuanyuan Immortal Dynasty, saying calmly, "Having achieved the Saint Realm solely through the faith of humanity, he will likely never reach the Emperor Realm in this lifetime."

"Oh, so that's how it is."

Ye Xuan dazed for a moment but quickly came to his senses. The underlying meaning of her words was that she wasn't familiar with that fellow Xuanyuan Changkong. He had thought Master knew Xuanyuan Changkong, but fortunately, she didn't...

"I'm just very curious about their profound arts—that they can actually rely on faith to advance to the Saint Realm."

"They are nothing but unorthodox methods, not worth mentioning." In the depths of Master Shen Xi's mind, a figure wearing a yellow dragon robe flashed briefly.

"By the way, I previously heard Senior Sister Holy Lord Xu Yan mention that Xuanyuan Changkong actually secretly wants to marry you, Master."

As Ye Xuan spoke those last few words, his voice grew softer. He looked up at his master a few times and said with a hint of displeasure, "If that Xuanyuan Changkong ever dares to come to the Sword Immortal Peak, I will definitely find a way to beat him black and blue!"

To bring up this topic now, he had no choice but to sell out Senior Sister Holy Lord Xu Yan first. Otherwise, if Master asked, he wouldn't be able to explain how he knew about it.

However, if Holy Lord Xu Yan, who was far away on the Holy Masters Immortal Peak, were to hear this, she would probably want to drain Ye Xuan dry in her anger.

"Cheeky. Your cultivation is only at the Earth Profound Realm; how could you possibly defeat Xuanyuan Changkong, who is a Saint? Even if he is the weakest kind of Saint, he is not someone you can handle." Master Shen Xi showed little emotion, merely teasing Ye Xuan lightly.

Ye Xuan said righteously, "Then I'll just wait until my cultivation reaches the Saint Realm before I deal with that Xuanyuan Changkong!"

Yet, he was simultaneously anxious in his heart. Being only at the Earth Profound Realm, how could he possibly raise his cultivation to the Saint Profound Realm within a single year? That was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Ye Xuan stared intently at Master Shen Xi beside him. Although the haze concealed her true countenance entirely, her dreamlike silhouette was forever engraved in his heart, never to be forgotten.

A bold idea surged in Ye Xuan's mind. He couldn't help but take a step forward, daringly grabbing Master Shen Xi's hand and placing it over his wildly pounding heart. "Master, if Xuanyuan Changkong comes to propose, can you refuse him? I don't want to see you marry him... I lik... Can you wait for me to become stronger?"

An inexplicable feeling was taking root and sprouting bit by bit, from the moment he had boldly gazed upon Master Shen Xi's dreamlike countenance until now.

"Alright, alright, say no more. Do you want Master to turn you into Little Xuan right now?" Sensing the burning heartbeat against her jade-like hand, a sensation she had never experienced before spread through her body. In the next instant, she slipped from her rebellious disciple's grasp and raised her hand, using her fingertip to stop him from speaking any further.

"Once your cultivation surpasses Master's in the future—only then will what you say be acknowledged. Train hard, Pretty Boy!"

Having said this, Master Shen Xi's figure vanished from the Hundred Flowers Garden of the Sword Immortal Peak, leaving behind only a faint, elegant fragrance. Ye Xuan stood dazed for a long moment. "Only if my cultivation surpasses Master's?"

At this moment, another reason to become stronger had been added.
