Unhappy, Wen Shanbai snapped the iron chain on his foot. As he stood up, he noticed Xuan Shuang, whom Yan Li had forgotten in the corner.

He became even angrier.

She ran away in such a hurry that she didn't even bring her own natal magic weapon. Is marrying him making her so miserable?

She could endure so many times, but she couldn't bear to give him a formal title.

But he insists!

Wen Shanbai's lips curled into a cold smile, which only strengthened his resolve to bring Yan Li back.

However, when he stormed out of the cave, he unexpectedly saw Yan Li returning in a hurry.

Beneath this abyss, the more dazzling the color, the more eye-catching it becomes.

Wen Shanbai's gaze was quickly drawn to Yan Li's wedding dress and the bright red wedding gown she was holding.

Wedding attire?

They didn't escape?

Did he misunderstand Ali?

Obviously, seeing Wen Shanbai in front of the cave was something Yan Li hadn't expected, but when she saw the sword in his hand, there was nothing she didn't understand.

"Wen Shanbai!"

What does he want to do?

Rebellion?

She had just assured her master that Wen Shanbai would never do anything wrong, and the next moment he couldn't wait to slap her in the face.

Wen Shanbai snapped back to reality almost instantly, looked at Yan Li in front of him, carefully handed her the Xuan Shuang, and said with a hint of grievance:

"Ah Li, you haven't come back for several days. I thought you had encountered some danger..."

"Are you afraid I'll run away?"

Yan Li gritted her teeth and sneered, decisively exposing Wen Shanbai's little scheme. She then threw the wedding robes at him, completely covering his head.

"Let's give it a try. If the size doesn't fit, I'll have to run away again."

Wen Shanbai slowly peeked out from under her wedding dress, took another sniff, and glanced at Yan Li out of the corner of her eye, unable to hide the smile in her eyes.

He then happily returned to the cave and began to take off his clothes.

Yan Li, who was following closely behind, felt a wave of dizziness and said with a hint of annoyance, "You don't need to strip naked, do you?!"

Wen Shanbai paused, but did not change his mind. He simply replied softly, "I'm afraid if I break it, Ali won't be able to exchange it."

Yan Li was speechless: "..."

But if it's been worn close to the skin, it's even harder to change, right?

Although she hadn't taken off her clothes down there, she was practically naked.

Yan Li suddenly realized: What a scheming boy!

In reality, the chances of her changing clothes were slim. Although Yan Li said that, she wasn't very confident that she could 'escape' again, since she had already used the things her master had left her to save her life.

That's why you say a master is a master.

She exhausted all her efforts and spent almost a day trying to get out of the abyss, but after using the runes left by her master, she was instantly on the top of the cliff.

It's a good thing, but it's a pity her master is too stingy. Otherwise, if he had given her a few more, she could have gone out and gotten more things.

Seeing Yan Li use runes like that, Fu Yun almost choked with anger.

There's only one.

If he could draw it, he would have drawn dozens or even hundreds of copies already.

How did such a good apprentice become obsessed with love?

If he had known this would happen, he should have given her more good food, so she wouldn't have been tricked by those people in the abyss.

Not long after, Wen Shanbai changed his clothes.

Yan Li also took out two large red candles and a pot of wine.

We have to make sure we follow the proper rituals.

She handed one end of the red silk to Wen Shanbai's hand.

That concludes the discussion.

Heaven and earth bear witness, the sun and moon are our mirrors, may we be forever united in heart and soul.

…*…

[Congratulations, host, you have completed the mission.]

[System 002 will arrive in the dimension in three days. The host may choose to leave the dimension or stay. Once a choice is made, it cannot be changed. Please choose carefully.]

…*…

Wen Shanbai thought the abyss would be his final destination in this life, until one day, the villagers foolishly used people as sacrifices again, and he "received" a person while he was out.

A living person.

A man who will slay the dragon and lead it out of the abyss.

Later, he sensed a long-lost power in her, a power that reassured him, so he did everything he could to keep her.

She seems to fall for the victim act.

As long as he put on a little act, she would agree to anything, which saved him a lot of effort.

He was a villain, and his conversion to the demonic path was not out of desperation as she claimed, but rather a result of his revenge.

He had no intention of being a high and mighty immortal. In his eyes, immortals were extremely hypocritical, always stirring up trouble and taking on chores, as if the world could not function without them.

The reason he was suppressed in the abyss was because of a trap set by that group of people.

Fearing the dragon's power and being unable to defeat it, they decided to cooperate with a wicked cultivator to capture the evil dragon that was harming the innocent and restore peace to the human world.

But clearly, they were sealing away more than one evil dragon; he was among them.

Entering the demonic path and practicing evil arts is obviously a huge threat to these righteous people.

Therefore, they were eager to eliminate him in order to ensure that no one could challenge their authority in people's hearts.

What's more, he also harmed their fellow disciples.

They became even less tolerant of his existence.

However, no one knew that Wen Shanbai once had a master.

No one could have imagined that his master would be a beggar who, when he himself was struggling to find food, clothing, and shelter, took him in after he lost his parents and suffered all kinds of bullying.

From then on, Wen Shanbai became his name.

Later, the beggar used the silver he had painstakingly saved to find a schoolteacher to give him a courtesy name.
