"I see." Lin Meilin simply nodded with a smile before clapping her hands.

"Then congratulations."

"Uh… Thanks, I guess." Yang Ze, who thought she was going to throw a fit, was completely at a loss. But this didn't stop him from letting out a sigh of relief.

"So, when are you going to get married?" Lin Meilin asked with interest.

"Umm… In twenty or so days, I guess." By now, Yang Ze's sense of time was all over the palace. He had lost consciousness in the wild and even fallen asleep at the top of the mountain. He didn't even know how much time he had spent outside.

"Well… In that case, I shall visit you there personally to hand you your marriage gift." There was a smirk on Lin Meilin's face as she spoke those words. But Yang Ze didn't think too much about it. He merely nodded in response.

"When are you heading back?" Lin Meilin asked again.

"Umm… right now, I think." Yang Ze spoke after thinking for a while. He didn't have anything else to do here, so it was much better to just leave this place and head back.

"Good luck." Lin Meilin let out one last smile before standing up and walking out the door.

Yang Ze looked at Lin Meilin's departing back. The two of them wouldn't meet for the next month. But he wasn't feeling down. On the contrary, he felt a sense of excitement.

In his past life, he never even dared to imagine what the word marriage actually meant. He had seen people getting married and even worked in those functions to earn some pocket money, but he never once dreamt of getting married himself.

But now… now it was something that was happening with him.

"Life sure is strange." Yang Ze couldnt help but mutter to himself as he let out a heartfelt smile.

After taking one last look at his room, he walked out of the inn and then began to wander around the market for a while. He thought about trying his luck one last time, hoping to make a killing, but to no avail. The majority of the items there were all fake, and the few genuine items were of little to no value to the current him.

In the end, he merely glanced one last time before leaving the Tianxu Trading Zone.

He leisurely walked, following behind the bunch of carriages going into the distance. Though he attracted some scornful gazes because of not having a horse, he didn't care about it.

How could a mere horse compare to him who could run at a constant speed for almost 1500 miles?

Not to mention, he could already fly.

With a soft laugh, Yang Ze hummed a tune as he followed the path back to the Sword Sect.

Although he could rush to the Sword Sect at the fastest speed, he didn't do so. Instead, he chose to appreciate the scenery around him.

After coming in contact with such a behemoth creature, he was filled with even more awe and curiosity towards this mysterious world.

Now he wanted to take his time and admire the scenery around him.

Humming a soft tune, Yang Ze spent the next few days walking leisurely.

Of course, during these few days, he didn't forget to get the remaining two talents from the Spiritwing.

[Congratulations on getting Sky Weave(Blue)]

[Sky Weave(Blue): Can summon a defensive wind barrier to protect yourself from all kinds of physical attacks.]

[Congratulations on getting Breeze Echo(Blue)]

[Breeze Echo(Blue): Use the wind to scan an area within a radius of two hundred meters.]

Both these talents were extremely helpful to Yang Ze, especially the Breeze Echo, which let him avoid danger many times during these past few days.

As for the Sky Weave, Similar to the Spiritwing, he too could summon a defensive wind barrier, but unlike the Spiritwing, who could only put it in one direction, he could surround his entire body with it.

With the addition of these talents, Yang Ze's personal panel has changed beyond recognition.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Ze called out his personal panel that he hadn't looked at in ages.

[Name: Yang Ze]

[Age: 18]

[Realm: 1st Vein Expansion]

[Physique: Supreme Dao Body]

[Talen: Mighty Vigour(Blue), Affinity For Water(Blue), Escape Master(Blue), Enlightment(Gold), Persistence(Purple), Trembling Fingers(Purple), All Seeing Eyes(Gold), Illusion Master(Purple), Inverted Wail(Gold), Etheral Shadow Step(Blue), Sevenfold illusion(Gold), Earthroot Vigour (Green), Tempest Call(Purple), Windborne(Green), Sky Weave(Blue), Breeze Echo(Blue)]

[Skills: Thousand Years Art, Mystic Nether Art, Black Tiger Technique(First Grade)]

[Evaluation: Finally started your journey of cultivation]

"Finally.. Some self-protection." Looking at the panel in front of him with satisfaction, Yang Ze let out a heartfelt smile. With this, he could finally stand up for himself.

—----------------------

After walking slowly for one more week, Yang Ze finally reached his destination.

"Phew… finally." Looking at the familiar heavenly sword sect's gate in front of him, Yang Ze let out a cold breath.

This was the place he desperately wanted to escape from, but over time, he got used to it.

And now with the presence of Cang Yue there who was his companion and the first love… this place felt like home.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Yue and Xiao Ruolan are here with whom he had shared a life and death bond… Yang Ze's heart felt at ease.

Even though both Xiao Ruolan and Lin Yue were a bit crazy and unpredictable, he still considered them to be his friends. After all, they have gone through so much together, it would be a lie to say that he didn't have some kind of goodwill towards them.

"Are they still in the old residence?" After entering the sect, the patrolling guard merely glanced at him once before letting him go. Walking towards his residence, Yang Ze couldn't help but wonder if the two of them were still there.

It took him a few more minutes to finally reach his destination.

Looking at the familiar house in front of him, Yang Ze couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

The same building… the same exterior… the same decorations… everything about it was exactly the same.

Yang Ze felt like a lifetime had passed, and yet, time hadn't moved in this place.

But after thinking for a moment, he shook his head with a smile. He had just been gone for around fifteen days, and yet he felt like he was coming back after decades. This stark change made him feel like he was in a trance.

Walking inside the building, Yang Ze directly headed to his room. His room was as he had left it before going out. Other than a thin layer of dust, there wasn't anything different.

"So, she hadnt come here?" Looking at the layer of dust, Yang Ze knew that Cang Yue hadn't visited this place.

He merely waved his hand, summoning a gust of wind with the help of Tempest call as it ran across the entire room, taking the dirt with it, while leaving everything else untouched.

"Heh." By now, Yang Ze has almost perfected his control over the wind that he could summon using his talent, Tempest Call.

Summoning a tornado to clean his room was just one of the many uses he had found for it.

After making sure the room was sparkling clean, he nodded his head in satisfaction, and just when he was wondering whether he should visit Cang Yue next or not, there was a knock on his door.

*Knock… Knock… Knock…

"Is she here?" Yang Ze's first thought was that Cang Yue had come to visit him after knowing of his arrival.

Without wasting another moment, he jumped and rushed to open the door, only to be greeted by the sight of the person he was expecting least to see.

"Lin Yue?" Yang Ze felt like he was seeing things. He didn't realise that the relationship between them was this close. For Lin Yue to come to his door the moment he reached back…

"You are back!" Ignoring the expression on Yang Ze's face, Lin Yue simply walked inside the room before looking around as if inspecting the room.

Yang Ze couldnt help but shake his head at her acting like this, but didn't take it to heart. By now, he knew perfectly well what her personality was like.

"How have you been?" Yang Ze, who was already feeling like he was on the top of the world couldnt help but ask in a gentle voice.

"Eh!?" Lin Yue couldnt help but blink her watery eyes in confusion, wondering if this was the same guy she knew once.

"Are you the real Yang Ze?" Muttering to herself, she couldn't help but step forward, standing directly in front of Yang Ze as she began to pull his cheeks, while placing her hand on the top of his head as if measuring his height against her.

With every passing moment, the once sunny expression of Yang Ze turned incomparably dark as he noticed her actions. This woman was getting more and more ridiculous.

"Okay, that's enough." Taking a step back, Yang Ze freed himself from her grasp before looking behind her, wanting to see through the door.

"Where is Xiao Ruolan?" He hadnt seen Xiao Ruolan till now.

"Hmph!" Lin Yue merely let out a cold snort as she answered in an annoyed tone. "Where else? She must be in her room."

"I see." Yang Ze didn't think too much about it. In his eyes, it was common for people to practice in their rooms. And by what he knows about Xiao Ruolan, she must have been practising hard after realising her strength is the lowest amongst the three women. Not to mention that he, too, has almost caught up with her.

"How was your journey?" Lin Yue asked again, wanting to continue the conversation.

"It was good…" Yang Ze, on the other hand, finally noticed something was amiss. He had been with Lin Yue for the longest and knew exactly how she interacted with others.

Before the events at Duality Sect, Lin Yue always held that apathy and indifference whenever she talked to him.

These expressions turned into coldness, hate and disgust after he humiliated her on the orders of Cang Yue.

But now… Now the expressions he saw in her eyes were completely different from what he was used to.

It felt more like possessiveness and eagerness. It was as if Lin Yue was looking at him like she was looking at prey.

"I must be thinking too hard." Yang Ze didn't believe that someone like her would have such thoughts. He could only blame himself for having such an inflated sense of ego.

"Did you see Cang Yue?" He finally asked the question he was dying to ask.

"Cang Yue?" Lin Yue's eyes flashed with an inexplicable smile as she shook her head.

"She has been tied up with the sect matters since the day she returned to the sect."

"But don't worry…" With a mysterious smile, Lin Yue stepped directly in front of Yang Ze, with her breasts almost burying his head.

"Your marriage will proceed as planned."

Before Yang Ze could react or ask another question, she immediately stepped back with a smile.

"Just stay here and don't wander around aimlessly. Focus on your cultivation."

"We will see you on your marriage date."

Afraid that Yang Ze would ask another question and might notice some unusualness, Lin Yue immediately walked out of the room before shutting it down, leaving behind the figure of Yang Ze who was watching the closed door with a stunned face.

"What the…" He merely shook his head with a laugh before sitting on the bed and closing his eyes to meditate.

He didn't think too much about it.

The mere thought that the two women might be lying to him never crossed his mind. After all, he was aware that the three of them were bound by a Heavenly oath. And now that they have gone through so much together… it was only natural for them to care for each other.

In a sense, Yang Ze was still watching this world through the glance of a person from Earth.

On the other hand, Lin Yue, after walking out of Yang Ze's room, had a frighteningly calm expression on her face.

She silently made her way towards Xiao Ruolan's room before shutting it close.

-------------------------

Xiao Ruolan, who was out for some personal business, finally arrived back at the residence. The first thing she noticed was Yang Ze's presence. But upon sensing how he was deep in meditation, she didn't disturb him.

Instead, she simply headed towards her room.

The moment she entered the room, she was greeted by the sight in front of her.

A thick, soft, dark red carpet covered the floor as candlelight flickered all around, casting a dim, dreamlike glow in the room.

In one corner was a large bathtub carved from some unknown wood with steam rising from it, while on the other side were various oddly shaped implements, mostly made of metal, leather, and silk.

And in the most prominent spot… that was the centre of the room, the figure of an enchanting woman sat on the floor with her back to the door.

In the woman's hand was a slender, soft whip that was entirely black.

And in front of this enchanting woman…

A stunningly fair and curvaceous woman was kneeling on all fours like a female dog with her limbs tied up.

She was completely naked, without a single thread on her body. Her head was bowed low…almost touching the carpet, and her long, dark hair cascaded down like a waterfall, completely obscuring her face. Her back, which was as smooth as a carved jade, was glistening with beads of sweat, reflecting a soft, lustrous light.

At this moment, several thin, pale red whip marks were clearly visible on her once flawless, exquisite back. Though these whip marks were fading slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye, leaving only a captivating blush on her skin.

*Smack

A crisp crack of the whip echoed throughout the room.

The thin black whip slashed across the woman's left buttock. The force was so perfect that it only left a clear mark without actually causing any harm. The full, fleshy buttocks rippled with a dazzling, milky-white wave as they were struck.

With every strike, the woman shuddered violently. Her smooth shoulders and back muscles would tense as a suppressed gasp would occasionally escape from her throat. Even though she wanted to speak, she couldn't, and the only thing revealing the turmoil in her heart was the violent heaving of her back and the trembling of her waist.

The exquisite woman was clearly dissatisfied with the woman's reaction. She merely lifted her whip and then, without any mercy, hit it exactly between the woman's buttocks, just above her sacred cave.

"Hmmm…" The woman finally couldn't control her suppressed sound as she groaned in response.

"HEHEHE." The exquisite woman with the whip couldn't help but chuckle softly as she raised her hand and slapped the other buttock hard.

Because of Xiao Ruolan's sudden entry, the keenling woman's body trembled even more noticeably as if she felt extreme tension from the newcomer.

Her large, heavy breasts trembled and hung down like a pair of ripe melons. Their size was absolutely perfect, and the white and delicate flesh upon it was breathtaking.

Due to her leaning forward and trembling, her breasts hung down even more, the flesh piling up to form a deep, alluring cleavage while the two nipples were swollen and bright red, wtih fingers marks clearly visible.

"Little slut." Lin Yue, who was holding a whip, reached out to grab the woman's head and pulled it up, revealing a stunningly beautiful yet pale and haggard face with exquisitely detailed features. One could still see traces of her former arrogance and cold demeanour between her brows and eyes, but at this moment, her eyes, which should have been like cold stars, were only filled with exhaustion, numbness and unfathomable pain.

If Yang Ze were here, he would have definitely struck to kill Lin Yue.

After all, the woman kneeling before Lin Yue like a female dog, enduring whipping and humiliation, was none other than his dao companion and his future wife, whom he was going to marry soon…

Cang Yue.
