Lou Munan already considered A Yao his woman, but that didn't mean he was in love with her. He was indeed interested in A Yao, but not to the point of liking her. He considered A Yao his woman because Xu Fengzhi liked her, so he was determined to make A Yao his woman no matter what.
This is revenge.
Even if he devours Xu Fengzhi's consciousness, he will still possess the woman this rebellious clone has his eye on.
“The Nangong family is eyeing Ayao covetously right now. You haven’t come out of seclusion, and it’s driving your mother crazy. If you keep going into seclusion like this, you’ll really lose your wife. I like Ayao the moment I saw her. Let me tell you, if you lose this wife, your mother will never forgive you!” Wei Linglong said.
Seeing Lou Munan lost in thought, Wei Linglong said:
"Wind, can you hear me? Say something!"
Lou Munan's lips curled up slightly as he glanced at Wei Linglong: "Your daughter-in-law won't be lost."
After saying that, he turned around and transformed into a long rainbow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Wind—"
Wei Linglong stared blankly at her husband: "He...he went to see A Yao?"
Xu Yunzhou said, "I think so!"

The mountains were covered in pristine white snow, and a rumbling sound echoed from the towering peaks. Dazzling beams of light shot into the sky, followed by the collapse of a vast glacier.
Bang!
A figure flew into the sky. It was a huge ice bird, over thirty feet tall, with every feather ice blue. It had dark red eyes and a head shaped like a phoenix.
The Icefield Bird is a rare wild beast in the Northern Region. Generally, an adult Icefield Bird is at the early to mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but the Icefield Bird in front of us is already at the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.
The ice bird flew less than a thousand feet into the sky when it saw huge red halos shooting towards it, as if trying to trap it. These halos spun rapidly, creating a storm.
Upon seeing the halo, the Ice Bird flapped its wings, instantly unleashing a barrage of wind blades that deflected the red halos. Bang! bang! bang!
All those halos crashed into the glacier, and with a deafening roar, the glacier collapsed, forming an avalanche.
The ice bird soared higher again, only to be kicked down from the sky by a figure. The one who kicked it down was a young girl in a purple gauze dress. This girl had fair skin and an exquisitely beautiful face; such a delicate beauty possessed incredible strength.
Bang!
The ice bird crashed onto the ice field, creating a large crater, and let out a mournful cry.
High in the sky, Ayao waved her hand, and a mirror appeared in the heavens. It was a jade-colored mirror with elegant and exquisite patterns, shrouded in ethereal mist.
After A Yao summoned the mirror, its surface emitted a silver light that enveloped the Ice Bird below. The Ice Bird, illuminated by the light, let out a series of mournful cries.
This mirror is a magical artifact given to A Yao by Lu Xiuwen, the Xuanli Mirror.
A Yao cast a spell on the Xuanli Mirror, and the mirror's light suddenly intensified. The Icefield Bird was enveloped by the light, its body shrank abruptly, and then it was pulled into the mirror and sealed away.
This Icefield Bird was discovered by A Yao's wood-type clone. It has a faint trace of Ice Phoenix bloodline, so A Yao specially came to this northern region to capture it.
After taking away the Xuanli Mirror, Ayao stood on the snow, her clothes fluttering in the cold wind, with vast primeval forests behind her.
Thick snow piled up on the tall cedar trees, covered with frost. Ayao sensed someone hiding in the shadows and turned around to strike out with a powerful palm.
A huge golden handprint emerged from her palm, and the wind from the palm whipped up the snow on the ground, swirling it into the sky. Rows of huge snow pines in front of her snapped and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
Amidst the swirling snow, a black figure appeared, holding a folding fan. With a casual flick of the fan, a burst of azure light erupted, colliding with the golden handprint.
With a loud bang, the handprint vanished.
Ayao looked at the newcomer in surprise: "It's you?"
The man, dressed in magnificent black clothes, had long, jet-black hair cascading down his back. He was tall and had slightly pale skin. His handsome face carried a faint smile, which was quite alluring.
Ayao never expected to see Xu Fengzhi here; she hadn't seen him for ten years.
Ten years have passed, and he seems to have changed even more than before. His strength has advanced from the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm to the late stage. His cultivation speed is astonishing. She cultivated quickly because of her rebirth, but why has this guy's strength improved so rapidly?
"What? Don't you want to see me?" Lou Munan walked towards her step by step. After a few steps, he stopped. The red mark on his chest was slightly hot, which made the faint smile on his face freeze for a moment.
What is this feeling of joy that fills my heart?
He should have completely devoured Xu Fengzhi's consciousness, so why does he feel joy upon seeing this little girl? Is there still any remnant of that bastard's consciousness?
Lou Munan's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
Seeing Lou Munan's gloomy face, A Yao thought he was still holding a grudge about the time she seriously injured him ten years ago. Just thinking about that incident made A Yao feel very complicated.
On one hand, she felt she had done nothing wrong, and on the other hand, she felt guilty and ashamed. Now, seeing Xu Fengzhi's cold expression, that guilt and ashamed feeling took over.
"It's not that I didn't want to see you, it's just that you didn't come to see me..."
Ayao's voice was soft.
He's always been the one to come to her; it's always been that way.
Lou Munan was extremely anxious. He hadn't expected his clone to be so tenacious. Ten years wasn't enough, was it? A hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years—he had plenty of time to completely devour his consciousness.
Looking at the stunningly beautiful girl before him, as delicate and radiant as a flower, a surge of intense malice welled up within him. It was good that she still retained some consciousness; otherwise, there would be no fun in forcibly taking this little girl.
Lou Munan's lips curled slightly upwards, and with a wave of his hand, a flying boat appeared in mid-air. This flying boat was the very magic weapon that Xu Fengzhi had used during their time in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm.
He gestured to Ayao in invitation.
Ayao looked at him, her gaze moving from his face down to his collarbone, and then to his open shirt revealing his chest. The red curse mark was two-thirds covered by his clothes, but the exposed curse mark was blood red and glaring.
There was nothing unusual about the curse seal.
Ayao gracefully took flight like a white crane and landed on the bow deck. Lou Munan followed her up and headed towards the cabin.
The airship flew slowly high in the sky. In the flower hall inside the cabin, Ayao sat opposite Lou Munan and asked him, "How did you end up here?"
Lou Munan seemed to be speaking absentmindedly, saying, "Just passing by."
Ayao didn't believe he was just passing by. He must have come to find her, right? If he was just passing by, then what was he doing in the Northern Region, without even a single guard?
