106: Chapter 106 The Demon Emperor's Panicked "Secret Romance"!
Bai Su's hurried breathing and her trembling fingers tightly gripping Wang Yang's sleeve betrayed the waves of emotion currently surging within this thousand-year-old Demon Emperor.
Faced with this sudden, extreme confession, the expression on Wang Yang's Face became somewhat "conflicted."
He sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation and "difficulty."
"Miss Bai Su... this, this doesn't seem quite appropriate, does it?"
"You are, after all, the Clan Chief of the White Fox Demon Clan, a person of noble status. If we were to cross the line like this and word got out, the eyes of the secular world might be unkind to you..."
Wang Yang spoke these words with an air of righteousness, as if he were truly considering the reputation of an elder.
However, before the dim light of disappointment could flash in Bai Su's eyes, Bai Linger, who had been watching the scene from the side, finally couldn't help but roll her eyes grandly.
"Oh, please! Revered Master Husband, stop pretending!"
Bai Linger mercilessly punctured Wang Yang's "disguise," placing her hands on her hips with a huff.
"You must be secretly overjoyed in your heart, right! Mistress Qingcheng told me long ago that on the surface, you're all serious and proper..."
"Mistress Qingcheng also said that you've definitely wanted this for a long time! What are you still acting so upright for!"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Being exposed to his Face by Bai Linger—and having his inner thoughts accurately predicted by his first wife, Ye Qingcheng—even someone as thick-skinned as Wang Yang couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
"This... that girl Qingcheng, why is she letting all my secrets out..."
Wang Yang rubbed his nose awkwardly.
Since the pretext had been dismantled, he simply stopped pretending.
He took hold of Bai Su's incredibly soft, jade-like hand. The disguise faded from his deep eyes, replaced by an inseparable tenderness and heat.
"Since Linger has already exposed me, I won't hide it from you any longer."
"Bai Su, actually, from the first moment I saw you, I fell for you."
I, Wang Yang, could only dream of such affection; how could I truly refuse?"
Hearing Wang Yang's confession, Bai Su's tense body finally relaxed, her heart feeling as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.
But following that was the last shred of shame belonging to a Clan Chief.
"But..."
Bai Su's Face reddened as she bit her lip, looking up at Wang Yang with a hint of pleading.
"Wang Yang, can we... can we keep this a secret for now?"
"To the outside world, and even to the others in the Hehuan Sect, I am still the White Fox Demon Emperor."
Only when there are no outsiders around will I be your... woman."
"I... I have a thin skin. If the juniors of my clan or the other demon powers in the Hundred Thousand Mountains knew that I, the grand Demon Emperor, had actually submitted myself to a member of the Human Race, I... I wouldn't be able to show my Face again."
Seeing Bai Su's shy yet slightly haughty appearance, Wang Yang felt absolutely ecstatic.
The thrill of a "secret affair" combined with "roleplay"—this was practically a critical hit!
"Fine, as you wish."
Wang Yang suppressed his wildly upturning lips and nodded solemnly. "As long as you're happy, any title is fine. In public, you will always be the respected Demon Emperor Bai Su."
"That's great!"
Seeing the two finally come together, Bai Linger clapped her hands happily.
The little fox winked sensibly and turned to walk out.
"Sister, a moment of the wedding night is worth a thousand pieces of gold! Linger won't disturb you two, I'll take my leave now!"
As she spoke, Bai Linger prepared to close the door to the Immortal Cave.
"Wait... wait! Linger, don't go!"
Just then, Bai Su suddenly acted like a startled rabbit, abruptly letting go of Wang Yang's hand and grabbing the departing Bai Linger.
"What's wrong?" Bai Linger asked, looking confused.
Bai Su's Face was already burning red. She glanced at the smiling Wang Yang beside her, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"I... although I've perceived this through the Heart-Mind Connection these past few days... I, I've never actually experienced this kind of thing in reality..."
"I... I'm scared!"
A grand Soul Transformation Stage Demon Emperor, a White Fox Clan Chief who had lived for a thousand years, was actually acting like a nervous bride-to-be, nearly on the verge of tears.
"By myself... I really don't know how to Face him..."
Seeing the powerful Demon Emperor of a clan showing such a pitiable, retreating side—a complete reversal of her usual self—Bai Linger was helpless.
"Sister, you're a Demon Emperor! How can you still need me to teach you at a time like this..."
Bai Linger sighed, her heart eventually softening as she agreed.
"Alright, alright, I give in. I really can't do anything with you."
Hearing the title "Sister," two rosy clouds drifted onto Bai Su's exquisite cheeks.
She finally let go of the last shred of hesitation in her heart. Since they were twin sisters in Origin, why should she bind herself with those empty titles?
Bai Su dotedly stroked Bai Linger's hair, her eyes full of relieved tenderness.
...
That night, the Spirit Gathering Array within the Demon Emperor's Immortal Cave was pushed to its absolute limit.
In this secluded, private space, casting aside all secular shackles and ethical burdens, an unprecedented "offline spiritual power tutoring session" officially began.
Wang Yang finally experienced what it meant to have the vast, ocean-like pure primordial yin of a Soul Transformation Stage Demon Emperor!
The instincts of the White Fox Clan, hidden deep within the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Bloodline, were completely triggered.
A thousand years of cultivation was released all at once!
Wang Yang's peerless Pure Yang Qi and Bai Su's extremely refined Demon Emperor Origin converged perfectly, forming an endless and terrifyingly powerful spiritual power cycle.
Accompanied by bursts of ethereal music that sounded like sobbing and storytelling, the entire cave was filled with a thick, inseparable pink spiritual mist.
An unknown amount of time passed...
Rumble—!
Above the Immortal Cave, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured in frantically like a funnel!
The next morning.
When the first rays of sunlight pierced through the mist of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the System's pleasant notification sounds began to spam Wang Yang's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host!]
[Under the feedback of an extremely massive and pure primordial yin, the host's cultivation has surged!]
[Congratulations to the host for the cultivation Breakthrough: Nascent Soul Level 4... Nascent Soul Level 5... Nascent Soul Level 6!]
[Current Cultivation: Nascent Soul Middle Stage Peak (Nascent Soul Level 6)!]
[Ding! Dao Companion Bai Su's cultivation has broken through!]
[Bai Su's cultivation: Breakthrough from Demon Emperor Level 1 Peak to Demon Emperor Level 2!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a massive Domain reward! Domain radius increased by: +1,300 kilometers!]
[Current Domain Radius: 3,663.08 kilometers!]
Wang Yang slowly opened his eyes, feeling the terrifying spiritual power within him that had surged several times over like an overturning sea, and let out a long breath of turbid air.
"Refreshing!"
Breaking through three levels in a row, soaring directly to Nascent Soul Level 6!
And the Domain radius had surged by 1,300 kilometers in one go!
The rewards from a Soul Transformation Stage Demon Emperor were simply outrageously generous!
He turned his head to look beside him.
Bai Su, the White Fox Clan Chief who had just broken through to Demon Emperor Level 2, was currently curled up lazily, resting.
She felt the new power within her, which was even more surging than her thousand years of hard cultivation, her beautiful eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
"Just one night..."
Bai Su looked up, the blush on her cheeks not yet faded.
"It was worth a thousand years of my hard cultivation... and it even broke through my Bloodline shackles?"
"Wang Yang... just what kind of monster are you..." Bai Su murmured softly.
Wang Yang chuckled and lowered his head to plant a kiss on that smooth forehead.
"It doesn't matter what kind of monster I am."
"What matters is that from now on, Miss Bai Su, you are a member of my Hehuan Sect."
