"Ruoxue, from now on, I will not make things difficult for Ye Tianling, nor will I stop you from being with him. He... is quite impressive."
Granny Qinglian glanced at Ouyang Ruoxue, her voice growing a few shades gentler and more sincere.
"Ah—Granny—"
Ouyang Ruoxue was completely stunned.
’Is... Is this sothing Granny Qinglian would actually say?’
"Ruoxue, my child, you know I never make empty promises. Since I’ve said it, I will see it through. Now, first, tell ... how did that Ye Tianling take your innocence?"
Granny Qinglian reached out and gently smoothed Ouyang Ruoxue’s sowhat ssy bangs as she spoke softly.
"This—"
A beautiful blush instantly crept onto Ouyang Ruoxue’s pretty face. She then fell into the mory of that experience, one that left her feeling both ashad and bewildered, lost in its depths.
"Go on, this is very important! Right now, his situation is a bit complicated. If you tell sooner, perhaps I can even help him."
Granny Qinglian’s words were even gentler, even more benevolent.
"He... what’s wrong with him?"
Ouyang Ruoxue was startled. Her eyes went wide, filled with worry.
"You tell first, and then I’ll tell you what happened this ti."
Granny Qinglian replied faintly.
Ouyang Ruoxue appeared thoughtful. Despite her extre embarrassnt and sha, she unsealed that mory and told Granny Qinglian almost everything, holding nothing back.
Granny Qinglian was not only Ouyang Ruoxue’s Master, but she was also like a mother to her, having raised her from childhood.
She had never kept any secrets from Granny Qinglian.
’So that’s how it was... That boy actually allowed himself to be willingly used for Refining, and even used it to break through...’
’What a kid. What an impressive thod!’
’His Talent is truly astounding. I can’t believe I didn’t see it at the ti!’
’It seems you obtained at least a wisp of his Divine Blood. This is a good thing, a very good thing. However, because of this, his situation is now a little unfortunate.’
After hearing Ouyang Ruoxue’s story, Granny Qinglian sighed in admiration again and again.
Her expression was a little strange, but it definitely wasn’t one of anger. Instead, it looked a bit like... happiness?
Ouyang Ruoxue was completely bewildered.
"Ruoxue, this ti, I ran into the First Saint Son of the Cyan Dragon Race, Long Tianxiao. He was hunting Long Tianyu..."
Granny Qinglian recounted the series of events without hiding anything.
She was especially detailed when describing the critical monts: how Ye Tianling withstood the Seven-Star Thunder Tribulation with his physical body, how the Thunder Tribulation Fire blazed upon him, and how he powerfully slew Long Tianxiao with a technique befitting a Sword Dao God.
There was no ti to record that scene, nor was it possible to.
Therefore, Granny Qinglian could only describe it in the most painstaking detail.
Even so, Ouyang Ruoxue was utterly shaken. ’Has Ye Tianling... already grown this strong? Has he already left so far behind?’
"Granny... I... I will definitely focus on my Cultivation! I’ll break through to the Third Heaven of the Sword Spirit Realm imdiately and enter the Void Realm as soon as possible!"
Ouyang Ruoxue was deeply impacted, and her eyes imdiately filled with determination.
"He rely burned through his Divine Child’s Talent to unleash that power. Moreover, his Divine Blood has already dissipated... I hate to say it, but I’m afraid he’s most likely in a very bad state."
Granny Qinglian said, sounding worried.
She was genuinely worried for Ye Tianling. It had taken so much to select a Divine Child; it would be a terrible sha if he were crippled because of this.
"Granny, the Divine Blood isn’t important. What’s important is having a Strong Heart! I believe that even if his Divine Blood is gone and his Talent is burned away, he can grow them back! I’ve known him for so long, and I’ve never seen him truly lose out!"
Ouyang Ruoxue seed to think of sothing. Fearing that Granny Qinglian might change her mind and look down on Ye Tianling, she imdiately spoke up to defend him.
"Yes, I was thinking the sa thing. That boy’s sword strike... it was simply too stunning. Therefore, I will permit you to leave the mountain. Go find him. If he’s willing, you should engage in Yin Yang Harmony with him as much as possible to help him recover his strength and Talent."
Granny Qinglian’s tone suddenly beca firm.
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Ruoxue was simply dumbfounded.
’Is... Is this still the sa Granny who wanted nothing more than to hack Ye Tianling to death, skin him alive, and rip out his tendons?’
’Could it be... that she was bewitched by Ye Tianling?’
Ouyang Ruoxue was both embarrassed and a little angry.
Yes, angry.
’How could Granny be like this?’
"Al-although I... I’m very, very worried about him... wh-who wants to perform Yin Yang Harmony with him! I won’t! He’s so wild and arrogant, he... he deserves to suffer! Hmph!"
Ouyang Ruoxue’s face was burning hot, as if Granny Qinglian had just ripped away her last veil of modesty, completely exposing her private affairs.
"Ruoxue, what’s there to be so secretive about sothing like Yin Yang Harmony? After you do it a few more tis, you’ll get used to it. Why are you being so shy? Didn’t you say before that even though you felt extrely ashad, your body instinctively cooperated beyond your control?
Just cooperate properly this ti."
Granny Qinglian’s blunt words nearly made Ouyang Ruoxue die of sha.
She didn’t even dare to listen any further.
If it weren’t for the fact that Granny Qinglian’s imposing aura and even her Sword Ancestor Ability had completely manifested, she would have suspected that the Granny Qinglian before her was actually that Great Demon Ye Tianling in disguise, trying to deceive her, tease her, and make a fool of her!
"Granny—please stop talking! How can Ruoxue face anyone after this?"
Ouyang Ruoxue’s whole body was trembling.
She was starting to beg.
"Oh? Now you’re worried about facing people? Relax, it’s just you and here; there’s nothing to be ashad of. However, it’s good that you think that way. As the future Saintess of the Returning Butterfly Sacred Land, you should still have so propriety."
Granny Qinglian said with a chuckle.
Ouyang Ruoxue stood there foolishly, unable to process the complex and overwhelming flood of information for a long ti.
...
「Cyan Dragon Holy Land, Ancestral Dragon Abyss.」
Long Tianyu’s figure coalesced in this place.
Long Fengyang’s eyes were like lightning as they landed on Long Tianyu.
"Did you kill Long Tianxiao?"
Long Fengyang’s voice was indifferent, devoid of emotion.
"Yes."
Within the True Void, Long Tianyu’s figure condensed further, gradually solidifying.
A bit of color returned to her beautiful face.
"A good kill. However, your bloodline is more than ninety-nine percent withered, you forcibly attempted Crossing the Tribulation and failed, and your Talent is severely damaged. I cannot help you."
Long Fengyang’s gaze grew even colder, his tone matching it.
"I will resolve these hidden dangers myself." Long Tianyu pursed her lips, her tone firm.
"Hmph. I will give you half a year. The Ancestral Dragon Abyss can only keep you alive for that long. After six months, if you haven’t recovered, I will have you Refined into a Void Dao Body for Qianying and betroth you to the Yunfan Saint Son of the Hell Demon Dragon line. He is the Dragon Race’s most likely candidate to beco a Divine Child to date."
Long Fengyang’s words carried an air of majesty and command that permitted no defiance.
"I..."
Long Tianyu had only spoken a single word before Long Fengyang cut her off coldly.
"You have no right to negotiate. Half a year is the only chance your Father Emperor is giving you."
After speaking, Long Fengyang’s sharp brows furrowed. He then asked, "What is the status of the search for Long Tianling?"
Long Tianyu shook her head lightly. "There are many Human Race Cultivators who fit the description, but none of them are him."
Long Fengyang said, "Hand over the specific information to Tianmo. She will continue the investigation from here."
Long Tianyu nodded lightly.
Long Fengyang’s expression softened slightly. "Tianyu, I am strict and harsh with you only because I cannot protect you for your entire life. You have always been my pride. I hope you will continue to be so in the future."
Long Tianyu’s delicate body trembled slightly. "I will... I will, Father Emperor."
