718 Entering The Supremes’ Residence Again! (1/2)
The seemingly grandiose statement was not an exaggeration at all. If it had not been Yun Yang, the practices during this time would have killed an ordinary person more than a hundred and eighty times – even a thousand and eight hundred times would be a safe estimation.
This world had always seen men as the more superior being compared to women. It was common for a man to have wives and concubines, but the old man had added a restriction onto his daughter that would kill whoever who touched her. Did he want his daughter to remain single for the rest of her life?
At the very least, from the way things were looking, there was no way to help her.
Should she watch the gentleman she liked become someone else's husband? Wait for years until the red light vanished to grab the man back?
By then, this man would probably have more wives and concubines than she could imagine. Would she, the original consort, be the third, fourth, fifth or even sixth mistress in reality? Even then, the man might have already passed away…
'Are you making life miserable for me?'
'I really don't know how the old man thinks!'
Ji Lingxi thought to herself, a deep sense of resentment obvious within the lines of her clenched jaw.
'Luckily I still have Shangguan Lingxiu here with me. She dares not step into romance yet, because of family matters…'
'Nonetheless, her reticence is indeed temporary. It is a matter that will be solved soon. Me? My problem seems set to last a lifetime!'
'That old bastard!'
Sigh!
Yun Yang waited for an entire day, but the ten Yama Kings had yet to return. With a switch of thoughts, he heaved a rare sigh.
”It's time to let the Nine Supremes become one,” Yun Yang said quietly, ”Looks like… all of you won't be back.”
”As Supreme Cloud, I can't ignore the warfare – but the Nine Supremes can't take care of everything. When I've handled the issues here in the capital, I'll go check the frontline to ensure there aren't any mishaps. Don't you fellows worry.”
”Everything is being carried out in an orderly fashion.”
”I'm Supreme Cloud, Yutang's Supreme Cloud – forever.”
”Actually, I don't want to take this step, but I have no other choice now.”
…
Yun Yang stepped out of his room, clad entirely in purple.
Ji Lingxi was meditating and cultivating under the flower tree in the yard.
She had long noticed that the efficiency to train in Yun Yang's yard was much higher than everywhere else, especially under the flower tree. It was twice as effective compared to anywhere else.
She did not understand why this was so, but Ji Lingxi subconsciously opted for this spot as long as she needed to cultivate.
To a martial artist, nothing was more important than increasing one's ability.
She was about to train but had seen Yun Yang exit his room solemnly. The aura he exuded was overwhelming grief and oppression. She could not help asking, ”Where are you going?”
For some reason, Ji Lingxi felt her emotions suddenly surge within her. Vaguely, she felt that the place Yun Yang was heading to had a close relevance to her. The feeling was unfounded but unusually firm.
It was so that the question slipped out of her without hesitation. ”Can I go with you?”
”No,” Yun Yang directly refused her request, shaking his head after a moment of pondering.
