But with other people around, he couldn't refute anything. If he explained that he was imprisoning Ruqing, wouldn't that be blatantly telling others that Ruqing had a problem?

Qi Boyang paused for a moment, then admitted, "Yes, Great-Grandfather, this is my future Daoist partner. I will take him back to meet my father."

Ruqing was shocked. He had wondered why this person had stopped him for no reason; it turned out he was lusting after his beauty!

His body stiffened slightly; he hadn't expected the other party to have such a plan. His eyes darted around, and he abandoned any thought of running away. He already had some ideas in mind.

Ruqing is actually the Ruyi Qingrui that was chased by many immortal emperors and gods.

During this period, he was constantly on the run and being relentlessly pursued. He finally managed to create a clone of himself, pretending to be himself so that the gods could divide him up. This improved his situation of being constantly chased.

He had considered leaving this divine realm ruin, but he didn't know the spatial coordinates of other realms, nor did he have the ability to find other worlds. Moreover, the entrance to this divine realm ruin was completely blocked by the God-King and Immortal Emperor, so even if he wanted to leave, he couldn't escape.

But it would be different if you followed Qi Boyang. This guy has a father who is an emperor, so leaving this place wouldn't be difficult.

It wouldn't be a problem for him to leave with the other party, but if he revealed himself outside, he would definitely be investigated by the other gods.

If Qi Boyang really takes a liking to me, I might be able to seduce him with my beauty and even have him under my control!

He glanced at the expressionless Qi Boyang and thought that the other party might be a blockhead. He himself possessed the Ruyi Qingrui, a legacy passed down from his ancestors. Was he afraid that he couldn't handle this man who was like a block of wood?

After making the decision, Ruqing moved even closer to Qi Boyang and reached out to interlock their fingers.

Qi Boyang was somewhat puzzled by the other party's actions. Just a moment ago, this person was looking at him like he was a plague god. How come his attitude changed so drastically in the blink of an eye?

Seeing the two younger generation being so affectionate, Qi Dong felt relieved: "Since the super-god-level divine herb has been divided up, let's go back."

When Ruqing heard about the super-god-level divine herb, he still subconsciously shuddered.

Qi Boyang glanced at him, then tore through space, taking Qi Dong and Ru Qing back to the Guiyi Divine Realm.

After Qi Boyang arrived in the Realm of Returning to One, he asked Ruqing, "Where is your home? Do you need to let your family know you're safe?"

"..." Ruqing was just talking nonsense. It was just a name from the God Realm that he had overheard by chance. He answered casually when Qi Boyang asked him about it, but he didn't expect Qi Boyang to believe him.

Ruqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I have no friends or family, I wander the world."

Qi Boyang didn't know whether he believed him or not, he just said, "Then you can come with my temple first."

They returned to the temple, which was their own territory.

Qi Boyang didn't delay and pulled the person into his room, using his divine soul to block out outside prying eyes.

Qi Dong looked at the two people who had entered the room and shook his head with a smile: "Young people are just too impatient."

Qi Boyang locked the room and then approached Ruqing step by step.

Ru Qing clutched the collar of her clothes, backing away as Qi Boyang pressed her forward. She thought to herself, "Here it comes! If I don't give in, will he resort to force?"

Maybe we should just give in and appease the other party; at least then no one else will be able to dismember him.

Although everyone is after his body, there are still differences! At least with Qi Boyang, he won't be dismembered, and Qi Boyang is very handsome. It's hard to say who has the better advantage between them. Most importantly, Qi Boyang has pills! He has already tasted the pills, and the effects are amazing. Once he has Qi Boyang under his control, he can take as many pills as he wants.

Just as he made up his mind to submit to Qi Boyang, Qi Boyang suddenly said, "Are you Ruyi Qingrui?" He hadn't thought much about it before, only assuming that a Celestial Emperor had been lucky enough to sign a contract with a divine herb of super-god level. But after spending some time with this person, he sensed something was amiss.

Ru Qing had far too many common-sense questions; he was surprisingly unaware of many things that were common in other divine realms. Furthermore, he deduced that the other party was definitely not from the Guiyi Divine Realm, as their understanding of it was far too limited.

What remains is Ru Qing's attire: the long blue robe is the kind of clothing one would wear only after a plant has transformed, and his name sounds like something someone who has transformed from a plant would choose. More importantly, the mark I left is on the other person's body, not in his dantian. This also rules out the possibility that Ru Qing has subdued a super-divine herb.

Ruqing shuddered and denied it, saying, "I, I'm not."

Qi Boyang took a few steps closer to him: "The truth is not for you to decide."

Ruqing suddenly collapsed onto the bed.

An aura of divine authority pressed Ruqing down, rendering her unable to move.

His expression showed struggle, clearly indicating that he was not feeling well under such pressure.

The oppressive aura lasted for a while, but Ruqing couldn't withstand it and transformed directly into a giant Ruyi Green Bud.

Upon seeing the divine herb, Qi Boyang's eyes lit up, and the pressure emanating from the God-King ceased.

Ruqing is a large plant, its branches and leaves swaying, making me a little dizzy.

"Beautiful, so incredibly beautiful." Qi Boyang's eyes softened immeasurably.

Hearing the praise, Ruqing was still a little embarrassed, so she stood shyly on the bed.

Qi Boyang approached him, reached out and stroked the leaves, as gently as if he were treating a lover.

Finally, I plucked a single leaf.

Ruqing shuddered as a hair was suddenly plucked from his head.

Qi Boyang coaxed, "It's alright, just take a pill." He then took out a pill and gave it to Ruqing.

Ruqing received the elixir and completely forgot the fright she had just experienced.

Qi Boyang immediately started refining pills, and after seeing the newly obtained leaves mixed with other divine herbs, he began to create a new pill formula.

What Qi Boyang didn't know was that during the time he was refining pills, Qi Dong had already spread the word about his affair with Ruqing throughout the Qi family.

Upon hearing that Da Bao had brought back a beautiful woman, Qi Boyue exclaimed in disbelief, "What! Da Bao brought someone back, and they're even planning to become Daoist partners?"

No way! He's only been separated from Da Bao for a short time. What happened during that time that Da Bao is almost a Daoist partner?

Fox Ren asked cautiously, "Da Bao already has a Daoist partner, will your father let you find someone to become a Daoist partner?"

Qi Boyue said confidently, "No, there's still Sanbao. Sanbao definitely wouldn't want to give up such a large forest!"

Qi Boyue said with some concern, "Is it not okay? I want to go and see. Maybe Great-Grandpa is just talking nonsense. Someone like Da Bao, I think he can only spend his life with pills and the herbs used to make pills. How could he possibly find a Daoist partner!"

Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian also received the news. After hearing Erbao's rambling, they realized they had the same idea, but Qi Boyang was, after all, their son, and they certainly couldn't treat him so badly.

Everyone had gathered, except for the two people involved...

The two parties involved are still locked in the house and have not come out. Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Yang Yitian was getting impatient: "Why aren't those two coming out yet? They haven't even become Daoist partners yet, and they're already so clingy. It's outrageous."

Qi Boyue chimed in, "That's right, I think they should at least come out and see Father and Father-in-law first, it's just too much!"

He then turned to Yang Yitian and said, "Dad, you absolutely cannot marry a woman like this into the family, otherwise what if she doesn't respect you in the future?"

Yang Yitian rolled his eyes at him: "You haven't even met her yet, have you? How could she have offended you? Stop talking nonsense here."

What could Qi Boyue possibly do? If Qi Boyang really finds a Daoist partner, wouldn't she be next?

He wasn't too keen on finding a Daoist partner.

"I was just saying, just ignore it," Qi Boyue replied listlessly. Since the matter was already settled, he didn't have much of a thought for it, and he decided to let it go.

Five months after entering the room, Qi Boyang finally came out. This time, he used the Ruyi Qingrui to research and develop three different elixir formulas.

Although he looked a little tired when he opened the door, he was radiant, clearly indicating that something good had happened.

Anyone who's been through this knows what kind of situation he's in.

Qi Zhiheng was very impressed. This son had been locked in his room for almost half a year. It seemed that being single for so many years had really made his son feel stifled.

Even Qi Boyue couldn't help but give Qi Boyang a thumbs up and exclaim, "Awesome!"

Qi Boyang didn't know what Qi Boyue meant, but he took it as a compliment on his alchemy skills, so he humbly replied, "So-so."

Just then, Ruqing also came out of the room.

In the past six months, Qi Boyang had pulled out a lot of his hair, and the whole plant was somewhat listless. Even when he transformed into human form, he still looked listless.

It's obvious at a glance that he's been bullied terribly.

As for the pills Qi Boyang gave him, Ru Qing was reluctant to consume them. Such precious pills were too good to be true; he would save them for when he broke through to the next level.

As a result, I am now in this listless state.

Seeing that Qi Boyang still had no intention of introducing him, Yang Yitian asked somewhat anxiously, "Dabao, who is this person behind you?"

Reminded by this, Qi Boyang turned to look at Ruqing and introduced him, "Oh, this is Ruqing." After learning that Ruqing was a super-divine herb, Qi Boyang's expression softened considerably when he looked at him.

Yang Yitian had never seen his eldest son look at someone like that before, and immediately his regard for his daughter-in-law rose even higher.

Although Qi Boyang did not specifically introduce the other party's identity, the Qi family already regarded Ruqing as Qi Boyang's Daoist partner.

As elders to Qi Boyang's Daoist partner, how could they not present a gift? Thus, Ruqing, who had just come out of the room, was shocked by a large pile of precious gifts, and her head was spinning.
