[Surprisingly, Bai Xichu didn’t bother explaining Bu Haoyan’s nonsensical remarks.]
[She simply turned and left.]
[Seeing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but frown slightly.]
[He slowly released his grip on Bu Haoyan’s mouth.]
[Poor Sect Master of Heavenly Dragon Cliff.]
[His entire face was severely distorted, and he had to painstakingly massage it back into shape with his hands.]
[With a resentful look, Bu Haoyan complained, “Sir, why are you so tense?”]
[“Weren’t you already living together before? Calling her ‘Madam’ seems perfectly reasonable!”]
[At this point, it must be said:]
[Sir is truly remarkable.]
[Even the Demon Lord herself couldn’t resist him—impressive!]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu felt utterly exasperated.]
[So things truly defied explanation, but he couldn’t just stand by and watch Bu Haoyan continue digging his own grave.]
[Thus, Ye Yu sternly forbade him from ever calling Bai Xichu “Madam” again,]
[and warned him against making wild guesses about their relationship.]
[Wait a minute.]
[Why did he feel a sudden warmth in his chest at the ntion of Bai Xichu?]
[Three days later,]
[Ye Yu discovered sothing amiss.]
[A woman’s visage had inexplicably appeared on his chest.]
[The face was none other than Bai Xichu’s!]
[Startled, Ye Yu rubbed at it with his hand, but it wouldn’t co off.]
[Realizing it was likely related to the Succubus Mark,]
[he began poring through ancient texts in search of answers.]
[Eventually, he found a record about the Succubus Mark in an old manuscript.]
[It stated that when the mark-bearer deeply yearns for their beloved,]
[the beloved’s image would manifest on the bearer’s chest.]
[The stronger the yearning, the clearer the image would beco.]
[Staring at Bai Xichu’s face on his chest,]
[Ye Yu felt montarily dazed.]
[Could it be that Bai Xichu had fallen for him?]
[Once this thought erged, it beca impossible to suppress.]
[Reflecting on his ti spent with Bai Xichu,]
[Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel a rush of warmth in his heart.]
[Without further hesitation,]
[he sought out information and made his way to the Demon Hall.]
[There, he found Bai Xichu seated on her throne.]
[Without a word, he showed her the mark on his chest.]
[Bai Xichu’s delicate face flushed slightly.]
[Feigning calm, she said, “Oh? What’s this about?”]
[Ye Yu wasted no ti, pulling out the ancient manuscript and placing it in front of her.]
[Seeing this,]
[Bai Xichu imdiately understood that Ye Yu had likely figured everything out, which was why he had co.]
[She was at a loss for words.]
[The word “yearning” in the text felt like a sharp blade piercing her heart,]
[leaving her utterly powerless.]
[Indeed,]
[these past few days, Bai Xichu had been unable to stop thinking about Ye Yu.]
[But she didn’t know how to approach him.]
[She didn’t want to pressure him in any way,]
[nor would she use the Succubus Mark to force him to reciprocate her feelings.]
[Bai Xichu was a Demon Lord; she didn’t need love born of pity.]
[For this reason,]
[she had been suppressing her feelings all along.]
[Until now.]
[Ye Yu leaned down slightly, bringing his face close to hers, and said softly, “So, was that day really a confession?”]
[Biting her lip, Bai Xichu struggled to think of an explanation.]
[But Ye Yu didn’t give her much ti to think.]
[If soone had taken the initiative to this extent, as a man, wouldn’t it be ungrateful not to respond?]
[And so, Ye Yu took Bai Xichu’s hand and began teaching her the proper way to write the “Kun” character.]
[They practiced for two whole hours.]
[Once Bai Xichu mastered calligraphy,]
[every gesture and movent of hers radiated an otherworldly allure.]
[It was as though her succubus nature had been fully awakened in that mont.]
[She gently held Ye Yu’s arm, her eyes brimming with charm.]
[In a soft voice, she said, “From now on, I’m sticking with you.”]
[“You ca to of your own accord, so don’t think I forced you into this.”]
[Ye Yu chuckled teasingly, “Alright, alright. You’re innocent; everything was entirely my doing.”]
[“Happy now?”]
[“But since that’s the case, how about I force you to practice calligraphy with again?”]
[Bai Xichu’s face imdiately turned crimson.]
[Over the next few days,]
[Ye Yu stayed at the Demon Hall, and their relationship deepened rapidly.]
[Through repeated dual cultivation,]
[Bai Xichu’s cultivation quickly returned to the Heavenly Demon level.]
[At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before she reached her peak again.]
[Not only that, but Ye Yu also benefited greatly.]
[He was on the verge of breaking into the mid-stage of the Mystic Demon level.]
[Such cultivation speed was almost unbelievable.]
[Perhaps this was the true potential of a high-level succubus.]
[During this ti, Ye Yu earnestly asked Bai Xichu why she had initially tried to dissuade him from entering the Heavenly Demon realm.]
[Bai Xichu replied with a self-deprecating laugh, “I originally thought you were cultivating the Ancient Demon Tribe’s Path of Death.”]
[“According to ancient texts, anyone who cultivates the Path of Death and enters the Heavenly Demon realm is dood to be consud by death itself.”]
[“To this day, no one has ever broken that record.”]
[“I didn’t want you to die, so I kept urging you not to enter the Heavenly Demon realm.”]
[“But now it seems my warnings were nothing more than a joke.”]
[“You aren’t cultivating the Path of Death, are you?”]
[Faced with this question, Ye Yu smiled without answering.]
[His Dream Realm Talent was far superior to any Path of Death.]
[It was flawless and without drawbacks.]
[But such things were beyond explanation.]
[Fortunately, Bai Xichu didn’t press further.]
[In truth, she had already realized Ye Yu wasn’t cultivating the Path of Death when he defeated Bai Yongzhe.]
[Effortlessly killing a peak Mystic Demon blood demon,]
[such a feat could only be achieved by soone at least at the mid-stage Demon King level.]
[In Bai Xichu’s eyes, Ye Yu had been hiding his true strength all along.]
[No one knew how powerful he truly was.]
[But since Ye Yu didn’t speak of it, Bai Xichu wouldn’t pry.]
[She had no intention of making her man think she was a nosy woman.]
[That said, Bai Xichu wasn’t idle.]
[With Bai Yongzhe dead,]
[Bai Xichu seized the opportunity to annex his territory.]
[If successful, she would control two-thirds of Dongyao Province.]
[This would be a huge step toward her goal of becoming the ruler of the entire province.]
[However, her current late-stage Heavenly Demon cultivation wasn’t quite sufficient.]
[Though Bai Yongzhe was gone, several of his late-stage Heavenly Demon generals remained formidable adversaries.]
[Thus, Bai Xichu asked Ye Yu for help.]
[To this, Ye Yu readily agreed.]
[What a joke—helping his wife conquer the world was only natural!]
[Besides, this was a golden opportunity for him as well.]
