Bu Yao drew out her nasal tone and took a while to speak: "Actually, I lived in the Cangling Clan before I was nine years old, but something happened there that broke my heart, so I gave up my Cangling Clan identity!"

Can you tell me?

Bu Yao was quite surprised and said, "You've never asked me this in all these years, why do you want to hear me talk about this today?"

Jiang Yuan said with utmost seriousness, "I want to understand your past in depth so that I can better appear in your future!"

“I’ve heard that human men are very eloquent, and seeing it today, I can confirm it is true!” Bu Yao said, nodding as she spoke.

The two of them looked at each other with their faces turned to the side, a very natural and warm way of getting along.

"Do you know where the Holy Spirit Clan lived before they descended upon the battlefield?" Bu Yao turned around and rested her head on Jiang Yuan's shoulder.

"have no idea!"

"That was a world different from the Imperial Star. There were no star systems surrounding it, no emerging technologies, only a boundless continent floating in the universe! There, the Holy Spirit Clan and the Demon Spirit Clan were separated by a river. Although the two clans had friction, they lived a peaceful life. However, this peace was shattered after the call to arms for the battlefield arrived!"

"Because of the rules and restrictions of the Boundless Continent, most people are stuck in the Spirit Realm, and only a few geniuses can break through to the Divine Realm. But the ninth level of the Divine Transformation Realm is already the peak! So if you want to break free from these constraints, you must enter the real battlefield to unleash your talents, and responding to the call of the battlefield is the best way!"

"However, there are always two sides to every story. My family held a completely opposite attitude when the call to arms was issued. Because there have been many calls to arms in the history of the Boundless Continent, but almost none of those who went to the battlefield ever returned alive. Although most people believed that this was because they had broken through to a higher realm, my father keenly sensed the anomaly. So when the Holy Spirit Clan entered the battlefield, my father voted against it!"

"At that time, the Cangling Clan was one of the more powerful clans among the Holy Spirit Clan, and our Cangtian Divine Mountain ranked second among all the divine mountains. My father was also the only mountain lord of Cangtian Divine Mountain, and its momentum was catching up with the Holy Spirit Divine Kingdom! So our vote was very crucial and determined whether the Holy Spirit Clan could participate in the war on a full scale!"

Bu Yao paused here, rested for a while, and then continued: "As a result, the pro-war faction of the Holy Spirit and the Demon Spirit joined forces with traitors of the Cangling Clan to attack my parents. After successfully exiling my parents to an unknown place, they drafted a Mountain Lord's Decree, saying that they would lead the entire Cangling Clan to participate in the war!"

"So, I was taken away from the Boundless Continent in a daze. I was already fifteen years old when I learned about these things, and afterwards I chose to betray the Cangling Clan!"

"So, you were forcibly brought here!" Jiang Yuan was quite surprised, but recalling the first time he met Bu Yao, he could tell that she didn't like fighting.

The first time the two met in the inheritance space, she was one of the few holy spirits who did not despise the human race, and she was watching a food program on her computer, seemingly in a transcendent state.

"I originally thought I could come here and live a life of eating and drinking as a saintess, but then I ran into you during the performance review, and somehow we ended up doing *that*!"

Bu Yao didn't say anything more, but both of them knew what was going on. The two of them had been living a wild life for a few days thanks to the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint King, and it was an unforgettable experience. No matter what, they would never forget that time.

"So you consider stealing the Sun and Moon Saint Lord's inheritance as a performance evaluation criterion!" Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

"Of course! It's all because of you that I got scolded when I went back to the sacred mountain!" Bu Yao was still quite angry when she thought about it, and she lightly punched Jiang Yuan's arm several times.

"It's a pity I lost the Sun and Moon Mirror, otherwise I could have cultivated with you!"

Jiang Yuan regretted his words as soon as they left his mouth. The Sun and Moon Mirror was a dual cultivation technique. Although it was a proper dual cultivation technique, the relationship between the two people had to be at least very close. For them to want to cultivate together after five years without crossing the line, they would have to have a deep and intimate relationship.

"Are you sure you're here to help me cultivate and not for some other purpose?" Bu Yao scrutinized Jiang Yuan.

"Hiss!" Jiang Yuan was speechless for a moment, realizing that his request was indeed excessive.

Bu Yao smiled gently, stood up, brushed the dust off her clothes, and said, "I'm warning you, you better have ulterior motives, otherwise I don't want to wait another five years!"

"Hidden motives?" Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, and didn't react immediately.

“Xiaoxiao needs a father, and I need a husband! Since a mistake has been made, we shouldn’t run away from it, but try our best to make this mistake better!” Bu Yao turned her back to Jiang Yuan and then solemnly said, “I’ll give you five more years. You can choose to come back and marry me! Or, you can not acknowledge Xiaoxiao and let my daughter and me live a peaceful life!”

Five years!

Jiang Yuan stared silently at Bu Yao's frail figure. Five years might not be a long time, but for Bu Yao, it meant sacrificing her entire youth. From nineteen to twenty-four, Bu Yao had fallen from heaven to earth in those five years, all to protect Xiao Xiao and him. He couldn't ignore such a sacrifice.

"When you find your true self, I will need your answer!"

With her back to Jiang Yuan, Bu Yao's face was flushed. She didn't know where she got the courage to say those words.

"good!"
