"Swoosh!"

Yun Yang's palm landed right on Ji Lingxi's chest. The touch, just as he felt it… was inexplicable…

"Boom!"

A beam of red light flared brightly, as expected. The light flashed briefly, just before a certain someone who was confident about his recent advancement in cultivation base flew away like a broken kite.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

That certain someone broke two trees before he smashed into the yard's wall. By the looks of it, blood oozed from his orifices as he was flattened out, arms akimbo, on the wall; his spread-out form remained stuck on the wall for a short moment before it slid down. His forlorn state was appalling to behold.

Shangguan Lingxiu, who was standing by the side, cried out in surprise upon seeing the situation, while Ji Lingxi looked disappointed and sad, saying, "It still doesn't work… His abilities are still far from being adequate…"

At the far end of the place, Yun Yang struggled to raise his head and force out a question full of anger and agony, "Y – you… what's the meaning of this?"

He passed out just as he finished his line.

'Poor me. How long have I been awake? I've only rejoiced for such a short while!'

Yun Yang had imagined what he would do after waking up from this breakthrough. For example, he could now ambush Sir Bi and take him down by surprise. It was two entirely different matters – two concepts, to be in ninth heaven realm and third level in Dao realm. This was especially important to Yun Yang, who was now better equipped with the ability to kill someone more advanced than he was!

After all, Sir Bi's party had already set their opinion on Yun Yang's capabilities. Intelligence indicated that Yun Yang was at the ninth heaven realm and pushing with his all throughout the siege of so many assassins – these were such cold, hard facts that they were enough to ward off anyone's doubt.

If he were to carry out the ambush now, having swiftly turned into a cultivator of the third level in Dao realm, it would have been a reserved estimation that his efforts would yield results that were twice as effective. Just thinking about it was as gratifying as it could get.

During his intended moments of triumph, he had even wondered if his current ability could rival Ling Xiaozui and the other experts in battle. Regardless, he figured that the old men's jaws would drop with the advancement of his cultivation base now. After all, they had only seen him a few days ago; it had only been a handful of days since then.

'Have you old men ever seen such a tremendous change, akin to a rebirth?'

'It is going to blind you!'

'Should I also flaunt it in front of the four young masters? Should I allow Fang Mofei and Lao Mei to experience another fright?'

Yun Yang had thought about all the above and more, entertaining thoughts of gloating to Yun Xiaoyao, putting on a show for the Emperor of Yutang, helping Qiu Jianhan and the 'rogues' as well as Old Mistress Shangguan to reflect his value, as well as a dozen other things. There was truly nothing that escaped his mind.

What he did not think about, however, was being severely wounded by Ji Lingxi's red light and sent sprawling, just as he was about to show the world what he was made of, ready to be admired.

Things were not going according to the script at all!

What happened to ostentatiously parading in the open after the breakthrough? Was he still the main character of this story? It had never crossed his mind to molest the girl! He felt truly and utterly f*cked.

Moreover, it was Ji Lingxi herself who had forced her chest towards Yun Yang's palm! Yet, the outcome was still Yun Yang's fault?

These were Yun Yang's final moments of consciousness, filled with a deep sense of maligned reluctance.

'At least let me win the girl over once!'

…

Both the ladies were speechless as they watched Yun Yang hurled away when he had so confidently agreed to the battle.

Ji Lingxi was vexed, turning hysterically agitated. "It still can't work!"

Shangguan Lingxiu sighed, a gush of mixed emotions surging through her. She felt heartache, realization, comprehension, wonder, as well as the slightest hint of secret delight.

Ji Lingxi had not lied to her! This entire incident was no farce!

This was the best possible news that Shangguan Lingxiu could have heard. Everything was becoming clear to her now. If this had not been so – if Ji Lingxi did not have such an unusual seal upon her, Ji Lingxi would never have given the tiniest bit of hope to Shangguan Lingxiu. This held true even if the former were beaten to death, given her character and temper.

Ji Lingxi, by all rights, should not have given her any chances. No woman would actually be as generous on the matters of the heart.

In spite of this, the reality was laid out before their eyes. No matter how reluctant Ji Lingxi was, she had no choice but to give Shangguan Lingxiu a chance – she even had to plead and ask her to join in. There were many unfilial acts in the world, but the worst would be not to have an heir – Ji Lingxi could be a fairy and have her man fearlessly love her, but how could they continue the lineage when the man could not even hug her?

How could they become intimate? How could they…

They could do nothing unless their love was stronger than gold unless one of them became a nun while another became a eunuch – for life!

How could such a thing happen?

Perhaps such devoted people actually existed in this world, but Ji Lingxi and Yun Yang were definitely not suitable candidates. Such a romantic scenario was not suitable for them, especially not when the situation was almost unsolvable.

What was Yun Yang's identity now? The current Yun Yang was one who had ascended into the Dao realm and was about to be ranked among the notable legendary experts of the continent. Yet, his resistance was still futile when faced with the red light. Then, to what level of cultivation must he achieve to be able to fight and break the seal of the red beam?

Even if it was not an entirely hopeless situation, it was still an extremely arduous process.

'Do you think that it's an easy task for practitioners to advance? Plenty of people have no advancement at all throughout their lives; they could remain stuck at a level for ages! There are many cases like this in the continent!'

'Of course, you can say that to be alive means that there is to be hope. You can wait for the day Yun Yang can finally advance until he can fight the red light, or maybe Yun Yang can wait for you, wait for the day the red light acknowledges Yun Yang… Unfortunately, who knows when any one of these two days will come?'

'It can be a decade later, twenty years later, or even sixty years later. After such a long time, when you're both seventy or eighty years old, can you still do the deed when your wish is finally granted?'

'It's not impossible. In fact, this is the most likely outcome, is it not?'

Shangguan Lingxiu heaved a long sigh and finally felt at peace, like a general whose plans had come to fruition, and had regained control of the situation. On the other hand, Ji Lingxi breathed out a long sigh, not at all joyous that she was able to deal damage to a Dao realm cultivator.

For a moment, Shangguan Lingxiu knew that she should not be happy, but hints of delight still filled her entire being.
