"Huff… Huff… Huff…" The moment the middle-aged woman tapped Cang Yue's forehead inside the ruin, Yang Ze, who was still sitting in his room, trying to meditate and control his excitement, suddenly felt a tremor in his heart as he struggled for breath.

This was the first time that he felt such an intense fear and sense of loss. It was as if something extremely important to him was being stripped away without him even knowing about it.

It was so real that Yang Ze couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. He hurriedly closed his eyes to take a look at the sea of consciousness that he could access after forming the first mental ring and stepping into the Realm of Mortals.

Looking at the boundless blue ocean underneath him that was just an inch deep and a large blue ring with a cracked teacup in the middle of it, he cast a puzzled glance all around, but no matter how much he looked, he couldn't find anything out of place.

He even looked inside his dantian, but other than the giant blue pillar that was attached to a thin golden thread that disappeared into the distance, there was nothing else.

"Am I overthinking?" Yang Ze couldn't help but mutter to himself as he checked once again, but no matter how many times or how carefully he looked, he didn't see anything amiss.

In the end, he could only blame it on his nervousness due to marriage before closing his eyes.

Even though he was going to get married today, there wasn't any grand ceremony. He didn't know how the marriages of this world took place or whether the meaning behind them was as sacred as his previous world, but other than hoping for it to be the case, there was nothing else he could do. He could only imagine a bright and happy future for both himself and Cang Yue.

This was a new start for him… a wife… a family that he always wanted but never had.

"When is this night going to end?"

With the growing unease in his heart, it was difficult for him to stay calm. So he began to pace around in the room, hoping to calm himself.

And while Yang Ze was pacing around, Xiao Ruolan also finally returned to her room.

"Still sleeping!" Looking at the curvy figure of Lin Yue sleeping on her bed, she merely shook her head before snapping her fingers, and with that, Lin Yue's eyelids trembled as she finally opened her eyes in confusion.

"What…" Lin Yue kept on looking around her, and the first thing that came to her view was the figure of Xiao Ruolan standing there, quietly staring at her.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?" Lin Yue, who was still half-asleep, couldn't help but curse in a low voice as she picked up the nearest pillow and threw it towards Xiao Ruolan.

"This is my room." Catching the pillow mid-air, Xiao Ruolan replied in a flat tone as she pointed her fingers around the room, pointing towards the nonexistent decorations and the few sets of clothes.

"Huh!" Lin Yue could't help but clench her forehead as her hazy memories slowly began to clear.

Slowly, the events of the past few days began to play out in her head. From Xiao Ruolan telling her about the fact that she had somehow managed to capture Cang Yue, and then the events after that. She could vividly remember humiliating that bitch and the otherworldly satisfaction that she felt while doing so. It was something that couldn't be sought or bought anywhere.

Thinking about Cang Yue, she once again glanced around, hoping to see that naked bitch kneeling on the ground once again, but to her surprise, she wasn't there.

"Where is that bitch?" Lin Yue immediately jumped up from the bed while looking around with wide eyes. She wasn't worried about that bitch hurting her. Especially when she herself has managed to step into the 5th Vein expansion realm and is now working her way towards the Core Condensation realm.

Even if Cang Yue wanted to fight her, it would be difficult to say who would win.

What she was worried about was the fact that the bitch was, after all, a saintess of the Duality Sect as well as one of the Grand Elders of the Sword Sect. She didn't need to personally take action against the two of them. She had plenty of ways to make things difficult for both her and Xiao Ruolan. In that case, both their lives would be miserable beyond words.

"Didn't you hear me?" After receiving no response from Xiao Ruolan, Lin Yue asked again with some anger.

In Lin Yue's mind, Xiao Ruolan's carelessness has resulted in Cang Yue escaping from the room. In that case…

Just when Lin Yue was preparing for the worst-case scenario, Xiao Ruolan's emotionless voice sounded in her ears.

"You don't have to worry about that."

"Huh!?" Lin Yue couldn't help but look at Xiao Ruolan in confusion, wondering the meaning behind her words. She didn't think that Xiao Ruolan would be daring enough to kill Cang Yue. Not to mention that they were bound by the heavenly oath, even if they weren't, she wouldn't have done something so stupid.

With a head filled with so much confusion and questions, she simply glanced towards Xiao Ruolan, waiting for her to explain things clearly and sure enough… Xiao Ruolan's next words made her eyes light up.

"With the help of a few trusted people, I have thrown Cang Yue into the ruins. She wouldn't be able to escape from there even if she wanted to."

"So, you can rest assured. She is as good as dead."

Listening to Xiao Ruolan's words, Lin Yue couldn't help but take in a sharp breath. She didn't think Xiao Ruolan was joking with her. She had known her from childhood and knew that she wasn't the type of person to lie, especially not when so much is at stake.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yue still asked, just to ease her tense heart.

"Yes." Xiao Ruolan simply nodded in response. "Absolutely sure."

"...."

"...."

A brief silence enveloped the room as the two women looked at each other for a long time. It wasn't until almost five minutes passed that Lin Yue suddenly raised her head, as a smile ran across her face and then..

"He…"

"Hehe…"

"HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEEHE"

She couldn't help but let out a peal of laughter.

What started as a mere chuckle turned into heartfelt laughter and finally into her laughing maniacally.

At the moment, it was difficult to describe the feelings in Lin Yue's heart. Even though she had taken a heavenly oath and worked with that bitch, the scars that Cang Yue left on her heart and mind were much more sinister and deep than anyone could have imagined.

Only she knew how she felt every time she looked at that bitch.

She saw herself walking around naked, like a female dog, in front of an entire sect, paraded like a slave. Her pride… her arrogance… her belief… everything was torn and scattered after being humiliated in the Duality Sect.

From that day, she wanted her revenge, but because her strength was low, she was never able to do it.

And when she made that heavenly oath… only she knew the monstrous unwillingness that she felt in her heart.

But now…

Now she has gotten what she wished for.

She returned that humiliation a thousandfold. Though it was a pity she couldn't parade her naked around the entire Sword Sect, at least she got what she always wanted.

And now with her being gone forever…

Lin Yue felt a burden had been lifted off her shoulders, and in that instant, she felt a shackle in her body being loosened.

In that instant, Lin Yue's state of mind reached an unprecedented clarity and calmness. She felt the world around her being slowed down, and she felt the innumerable blue lights all around her body.

In a daze, Lin Yue reached out to them, only find that she could command and control them freely. Although there was a limit, it didn't stop her from gathering those blue lights around her hand, and the moment she did, the entire room was enveloped in wind.

It was as if there was a raging storm inside the room.

Lin Yue didn't even have time to react when she felt the numerous blue lights entering her body, washing away her bones, muscles and every part of her body.

For an instant, her figure floated slightly above the ground with winds around her getting more and more wild.

If not for Xiao Ruolan's internal energy sealing the entire room, just this wind would have been enough to tear down the entire building.

Lin Yue didn't know how long she spent in that trance. It felt like a thousand years had passed, and yet it felt like an instant.

When she reopened her eyes, she was greeted by Xiao Ruolan's 'surprised' expressions, as if she had seen ghosts.

"You…" Xiao Ruolan's voice trembled as she raised her hand, pointing towards Lin Yu, but in the end, she wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"Seeing her childhood friend, who usually acted all cold and distant, showing such expressions on her face, Lin Yue couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle.

She merely waved her hand, and with that, Xiao Ruolan's body was lifted above the ground for a moment before she landed back.

"Core… Core Condensation?" Even though Xiao Ruolan tried to appear calm, Lin Yue could feel the trembling in her voice, which further pleased her.

"Yes." Lin Yue couldn't help but nod in a smile.

After going through so much, her fate seemed to be taking a turn for the better.

Not only was she able to join the Heavenly Sword Sect, but she also managed to get the Crimson Heart and raise her cultivation to the Core Condensation… something that many geniuses wouldn't be able to achieve in their lifetime. She was finally at the apex of the Azure Dragon Continent, bested only by those old monsters in the Soul Tempering realm who usually never made any move.

At the moment, Lin Yue felt like she was at the top of the world. She has stepped into the Core Condesnation realm, and the bitch she hated the most is now gone… The only thing left was chopping off the head of that whore, Yun Ning, who killed the most important person in her life… Lin Wan.

"Oh, and there's also him." In that instant, the enchanting otherworldly face of Yang Ze flashed in her mind as her breathing hastened.

"Yes… How could my revenge be complete?" It wasn't clear whether she was talking to Xiao Ruolan or to herself.

"That bitch Cang Yue was going to marry him, wasn't she?" Licking her lips, Lin Yue felt her heart beating faster and faster.

"So, I need to make sure to take him as well."

"Only when her husband is buried between my legs… only when her husband is being ridden by me for days… only then my revenge would be complete."

Thinking about the scene of such an immortal like being with his head buried between her legs… Lin Yue had always wanted this from the day she saw Yang Ze's true appearance.

And now with her biggest hurdle gone, she could finally have him as well.

"Yes… I just want a payback." Lin Yue kept on muttering to herself as if she were reminding herself that this was the right course of action.

Xiao Ruolan, on the other hand, couldn't help but narrow her eyes as she looked at her reaction and listened to her words. How could she not know what Lin Yue was thinking about?

Initially, she didn't want to wake her up and let her sleep like that for a long time. But in the end, she decided against it.

'Forget it… I will let you have him for now.' Xiao Ruolan simply let out a deep breath as she made her way towards the overexcited Lin Yue.

"Get ready." Standing in front of Lin Yue, she spoke in her usual cold and emotionless voice.

"You are going to get married to him today."

Looking at the sky that was beginning to turn bright, she simply reached inside her robe before taking out a skin mask that was eerily similar to Yang Ze's and handed it to Lin Yue.

"Let's go."
