"Master..."

"My wife..."

"lady……"

“Wanwan…”

“Wan’er…”

Ji Jue approached step by step, calling her affectionately one call after another.

Their gazes grew brighter and brighter, and the moment their eyes met, a tender and ambiguous atmosphere enveloped them.

As she retreated, Qin Wan's back came into contact with a solid wall. Upon seeing this, Ji Jue's eyes flashed.

The next second, his tall figure stood in front of her, blocking her way.

Qin Wan frowned, looked up at him, "A-Jue... um..."

The words had barely left her lips when they were sealed with a kiss.

Their eyes met, and he stared intently into her eyes, as if trying to see into the depths of her heart.

His warm breath sprayed onto her face, bringing a tingling, itchy sensation to her sensitive skin.

"My wife..."

"lady……"

“Wanwan…”

"Master..."

Ji Jue called out repeatedly, her voice low, husky, and sexy, with an unconsciously alluring quality in the rising tone at the end.

Under Ji Jue's temptation, Qin Wan's heart skipped a beat.

Looking at her reflection in Ji Jue's burning black eyes, Qin Wan's breath hitched, and she could no longer suppress her emotions.

The next second...

Ji Jue felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and a warmth on her lips. Her master, who had been dodging her, had changed his attitude drastically at some point.

Looking at Qin Wan's exquisite face so close to his, and smelling her faint fragrance, Ji Jue's heart trembled violently.

Master...

Master took the initiative...

His master kissed him first...

[Ji Jue's favorability increased by 2, current favorability 100. Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.]

Not far away, a pale-faced figure in pure white watched this scene.

"Junior sister..."

"In the end, it was I who held you back."

Ling Mubai gave a weak, pale smile, then turned and left in a disheveled state.

-

Time flies like an arrow; a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On the day of Qin Wan and Ji Jue's dual cultivation ceremony, the originally clear sky was suddenly overcast with dark clouds.

The sky suddenly darkened, and Qin Wan and Ji Jue exchanged a glance, both seeing something in each other's eyes.

Ji Jue: "The Ling family patriarch?"

Qin Wan: "He has passed away peacefully."

The two said in unison.

The sect leader, sitting high above, immediately stood up, looking solemnly at the location of the Ling family.

The death of the Ling family patriarch and the disappearance of his Dao from the Tianyun Sect are both a good thing and a bad thing.

Fortunately, after the passing of the Ling family patriarch, Qin Wan was no longer in danger, and his management of the Tianyuan Sect would become much easier.

The downside is that once the Ling family patriarch passes away, the Tianyun Sect will lose a major support, and it will no longer be so easy for it to maintain its position as the number one sect in the cultivation world.

Moreover, the seal on the Heavenly Demon Realm has been breached, and over the past month, demons have been breaking through the seal one after another, slaughtering innocent lives in both the human and demon realms.

Fortunately, Qin Wan has now broken through to the Mahayana cultivation level, giving the Tianyun Sect a new reliance.

And Ji Jue...

After the dual cultivation ceremony between him and Qin Wan is over, the master and disciple will cultivate together. Coupled with their predestined marriage, it will only be a matter of time before their cultivation levels greatly improve.

There's also the union of Jiang Shuyu and Nangong Rou, who cultivate the dual cultivation method together...

Xiao Han has also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage and is now going to the human and demon realms to train, slay demons, and protect innocent lives.

"boom!"

A thunderclap ripped across the sky...

The dark clouds that filled the entire sky were torn apart, revealing a gap, and a blinding thunderbolt descended from the sky, striking directly at the forbidden area behind the Tianyun Sect.

That was... the cultivation ground of the Ling family's ancestor.

Ji Jue looked at Qin Wan beside him with a solemn expression, "Master?"

Qin Wan gently shook her head, "Nothing will happen, I've made all the arrangements."

Seeing Qin Wan's calm and composed demeanor, Ji Jue couldn't hide the faint worry in his eyes.

At the moment of passing away...

Given the Ling family patriarch's personality, is it really true that he wouldn't do anything?

Will they really just surrender and let the Ling family be suppressed by Qin Wan?

The Ling family's only hope is Ling Mubai...

As a result, Ling Mubai was unable to break free from Qin Wan's ancient forbidden technique.

Even if Ling Mubai truly cultivates into a new generation of powerful figures in the future, his life will always be in Qin Wan's hands, and he will be manipulated by Qin Wan.

Thinking of the selfish and mad nature of the Ling family patriarch, Ji Jue's expression became slightly solemn.

Just then, a sword strike carrying intense killing intent slashed straight towards Qin Wan and Ji Jue.

Qin Wan immediately pushed Ji Jue aside and led him towards the sect leader.

"Clang!"

Qin Wan drew her sword and confronted the Ling family patriarch...

"puff!"

A mouthful of hot blood spurted from Ling Mubai's mouth.

Qin Wan slightly widened her eyes, her pupils contracting sharply.

"idiot!!!"

The furious roar of the Ling family patriarch resounded throughout the entire Tianyun Sect.

"……Why?"

Qin Wan opened her mouth, but struggled to speak. Looking at Ling Mubai in front of her, her eyes were filled with confusion.

"I...I did it willingly." Ling Mubai forced a smile, trying to give Qin Wan a reassuring one.

Unfortunately, his injuries were far too severe...

The moment his lips moved, a mouthful of hot, dazzling red blood gushed out.

Qin Wan's pupils contracted, and her hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

"I never thought about it..." Qin Wan murmured.

"I know... I know my junior sister doesn't blame me..." Ling Mubai smiled palely, blood flowing continuously around his lips, looking quite frightening.

Qin Wan's eyes stung slightly...

"I know, and I believe what my junior sister said..."

He trusted Qin Wan, even though Qin Wan used an ancient forbidden technique on him to restrain the ancestor.

He didn't blame her, and even believed what she said: that as long as the ancestor passed away, she would lift the forbidden spell on him.

But both he and his junior sister knew...

The patriarch is mad and extreme. If his junior sister refuses to do as he wishes, he will definitely not let her and Ji Jue go.

Even if the Ling family has to sacrifice his talented descendant as a result...

The patriarch would never allow his junior sister to live.

Even without him, the Ling family will produce another genius.

If they let their junior sister live on, given her talent, the Ling family will have a hard time recovering.

Even though he knew and believed that his junior sister was not a ruthless person.

But the ancestor wouldn't believe it.

In the eyes of our ancestors, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze.

They sacrificed him, a genius who had not yet matured, to completely eliminate their junior sister, a genius who had already matured.

For the Ling family, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

Thinking of this, a single, glistening tear slid down Ling Mubai's cheek.

He is the greatest calamity in the lives of both Junior Sister and Ji Jue.

The Ling family was also his calamity...

If he could, he wouldn't want to be born into the Ling family, and he certainly wouldn't want to ruin his junior sister's and Ji Jue's lives...

If his death can bring everything to a close, then he is fortunate.

At least, he repaid what he owed his junior sister and Ji Jue...

Thinking of this, Ling Mubai's tall body fell limply from the sky.

Qin Wanfei stepped forward and caught him.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but ultimately remained silent.

However, there was a hint of apology and heartache in her gaze as she looked at him…

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"If...if there is an afterlife...I hope that my junior sister...no...does not meet me again."

After he finished speaking, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, his eyelids closed limply, and his hands fell limply to his sides.
