"It's done."

Yun Yang exclaimed in excitement as he flaunted his accomplishment, "I'm here to let you know that you don't have to be worried anymore. You don't have to be concerned about Old Mistress Shangguan's condition for at least another ten years."

Shangguan Lingxiu pulled her blanket up to bury her head, feeling abashed and awkward.

'Why is he here again?'

'It's worse this time - I haven't taken off my clothes before… Great, now should I be worried about the state I'm in?'

She did not even listen to anything Yun Yang was saying.

"You - How…" Shangguan Lingxiu hid but decided it was a wrong move. She then repositioned her blanket and wrapped it around her body to show only her head while looking at Yun Yang in exasperation.

"You… You - You really…"

Yun Yang had never imagined that they would meet under such circumstances. Shocked and stunned, he spoke in a hurt tone, "You… Why didn't you wait for my news before sleeping?"

These were Yun Yang's honest words. He had really thought that Shangguan Lingxiu would wait for the result of his treatment. He did not expect the lady to take off her clothes and go to bed without even waiting!

Went to bed after taking off her clothes… Could he be blamed for her actions?

Lord Supreme Cloud felt unjustly accused.

Shangguan Lingxiu felt even more upset. Clenching her jaws, she growled in a low voice, "What are you talking about? Do you have to specifically inform me about everything you do? If I didn't know that you were Supreme Cloud, I'd wait for the result, of course - respectfully wait for it. However, I now know that you're Supreme Cloud and I would have gone to your residence tomorrow! What can't wait till then? Did you think that I wouldn't go? Ah!"

Yun Yang could only spout gibberish without giving a proper response. Perhaps he had done things with a tad too much haste.

Shangguan Lingxiu had adopted the routine of going to the Residence of King Yun daily, these days. It was almost a habit. Despite being Supreme Cloud, he was mainly Yun Yang. He had thumped his chest, a guarantee that he would take note of Old Mistress Shangguan's condition - there was really no need to hurry or be hasty.

Looking at the blanket-wrapped Shangguan Lingxiu, who was looking back at him in embarrassment, frustration, and helplessness, Yun Yang coughed and had nothing to say. For some reason which he could not fathom, he then spluttered, "Sister Lingxiu, actually… the view of you on the bed… is rather…enticing. "

Shangguan Lingxiu buried herself back into her blanket, so abashed that she was turning crimson.

'Bastard! What is he talking about? '

"Uh… I'll leave now…" Yun Yang immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing the moment the words left his mouth. He slipped away, swiftly making his escape.

When Shangguan Lingxiu finally mustered enough courage to flip her blanket off and settle the case with Yun Yang, he was already gone without a trace. With his speed, he might already be at Old Grand Commandant Fang's residence…

Embarrassed as he was, it was still better to complete what should be accomplished tonight in one go. Since he could not bring an end to his biggest threat as planned, it was necessary that he switched lanes to resolve some other issues. It would be best to solve them as soon as possible.

With this minor hiccup, the stifling vexation that came from Wu Ying seemed to utterly dissipate.

As Yun Yang sped through the wind, he found that he had the mood to let his thoughts run wild.

'Tsk, I must say… once Sister Lingxiu takes off her clothes, she's still very much a woman…'

It was fortunate that he did not utter these words on the spot. Otherwise, he would probably have been beaten up violently - very, very violently.

…

The next day, when Ji Lingxi saw Shangguan Lingxiu, it came as a surprise to see the latter tired, her eyes adorned with two huge dark circles. She looked lethargic and was somewhat dazed.

"Sister Lingxiu, what has gotten into you?" Ji Lingxi asked curiously, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"Didn't - uh, didn't sleep well, yes." Due to her awkwardness, of course, she did not sleep well.

She was already asleep, but the subject of her infatuation had barged into her room. Her heart thumped wildly until morning came as different scenarios ran through her head. How could she sleep then?

"Why?" Ji Lingxi sat herself down beside Shangguan Lingxiu and said, "I should be the one lacking sleep. You don't know about it - I haven't slept soundly at all these days… Sister Lingxiu, what worries are troubling you?"

Shangguan Lingxiu could not help flushing as she recalled what happened last night. She bit her lips and subconsciously sighed, "Dummy!"

Once the word was out in the air, she knew that it was for the worse.

How could she utter this word so carelessly? Why did it just slip out like that? Everything would be exposed this way!

As expected, the alarm in Ji Lingxi's head blared. She perked up and asked, "What? Has this dummy offended you? When? What has happened? Tell me the details!"

Shangguan Lingxiu was crimson as she shook her head incessantly. "No - no."

No matter how Ji Lingxi questioned her, Shangguan Lingxiu refused to budge. It was not something she could recount in detail.

Ji Lingxi grew even more suspicious. Biting her lips, she thought to herself, 'Could this fellow… actually… hmph!'

Her thoughts ran in the direction of unacceptable deeds. She stomped her foot resentfully, a dire picture already formed in her mind. The earth quivered with a boom. Ji Lingxi stood up furiously and kicked Yun Yang's door open. She rubbed her palms together, calling out, "Yun Yang, come, come. Let us practice! How can we miss our daily sessions?"

Moans of pain came from the room.

Yun Yang had submitted to his fate. He was confident that the speed of his advancement and the amount of his improvement was unprecedented and unsurpassable. It was to his pride that he could regard the rest of the world from a high point. He had gone from almost no cultivation base to the fourth level in Dao realm now. While it was still lacking, insufficient to compete against the pinnacle forces of this world, there were few opponents that could call themselves his peers…

Speaking of peers, it was unfortunate that the monster, Ji Lingxi, could not be excluded!

She did not even need to cultivate. She only needed a few nights of slumber and she woke up in ninth Dao pinnacle! How could one reason with that?

She went after him every day in the name of practice, but in reality, she was beating up a sandbag! Her force was considerably heavy, so much so that a solid strike would put an end to him. If his technique succeeded occasionally, the red light would strike back at him. The anguish of being half dead was worse than being beaten up brutally!

"I can't live like this anymore!" Yun Yang moaned in anguish.

If there was a more wretched case, it would have to be today, where Yun Yang was forced to 'practice' with Ji Lingxi unceasingly -meaning, he was going to be beaten up incessantly.

It so happened that today coincided with the Empire of Yutang's celebratory day.

When His Majesty began his morning assembly, he was surprised by the presence of two familiar faces! The officials were extremely delighted as well when they saw them.

The two people were the Empire of Yutang's military pillars, Old Marshal Qiu and Old Grand Commandant Fang!

These two old men were ruddy and robust. Not only were there no signs of old age and frailty, they were both as strong as an ox.
