"You're truly monstrously strong, aren't you?"
Xing Wu, who had flown over, looked at the shattered blood-colored monster before her and was genuinely surprised by Ye Yun's displayed power.
It wasn't surprising that Xing Lian wasn't his match back then. Faced with this terrifying strength, she was indeed still far behind.
However, Xing Wu quickly noticed Ye Yun's abnormality.
Frowning, she flickered and appeared before him, grabbing his hand and asking.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so lost?"
Compared to the usual Ye Yun, he now carried a hint of bone-chilling sorrow.
As if hearing her voice, Ye Yun finally reacted.
Everything he had just witnessed had deeply impacted him, leaving his mind in a daze.
Turning to face Xing Wu, he embraced her without hesitation, holding her tightly.
The sudden action caught Xing Wu by surprise, but she didn't say anything, slowly wrapping her arms around his waist.
They embraced in the sky, while Xu Binglan watched silently nearby. Rather than being jealous, she was more concerned about what was wrong with Ye Yun.
...
With the blood-colored monster slain, the surroundings also returned to complete tranquility, as if even the void storm had weakened slightly.
The Shenhe airship once again sailed peacefully on the Sea of Void, but compared to the joyous atmosphere when they first departed, it now felt somewhat peculiar.
Somewhere on the Shenhe airship, Lin Xueyan and the other disciples were gathered by the window, quietly watching Ye Yun sitting by the railing on the deck.
"Does anyone know what's gotten into Master? Ever since he killed that thing, he's just been sitting there alone."
Fang Zhiwei spread her hands, speaking helplessly.
"Who knows? Is he thinking about something sad?"
"But Master has always been so optimistic, this change is too drastic."
"Exactly, Master isn't even smiling anymore..."
While they didn't understand Ye Yun completely, they mostly knew his temperament.
Even when faced with the greatest troubles, he always maintained an optimistic and confident demeanor.
Now, he was so sorrowful, it was not hard to imagine that something truly catastrophic had happened!
Finally, after pondering for a moment, Fang Zhiwei said as if she had an idea.
"Regardless, as his disciples, we have a duty to cheer Master up. How about this..."
A playful smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she said gleefully.
"When the time comes, I'll go over and give Master a true love's kiss, and he'll definitely get better!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xueyan and the others rolled their eyes.
"Are you trying to cheer Master up, or are you just lusting after his body!"
The others agreed, strongly condemning Fang Zhiwei's actions.
Then, Lin Xueyan changed the subject.
"Besides, even if it's a true love's kiss, I should be the one to go first. I'm the senior disciple!"
Clearly, compared to Fang Zhiwei, she, as the senior disciple, wasn't much better.
Furthermore, Chen Lingyi, who was nearby, chimed in.
"In matters like this, shouldn't senior disciples yield to junior disciples!"
It was evident that she was also very interested in giving their Master a true love's kiss...
At this point, Bai Xiaoxiao also spoke.
"I kissed Master a long time ago, so of course, it should be me. I have experience!"
"It should be me, I'm the most suitable!"
"No, it has to be me!"
...
Before they could even comfort Ye Yun, they themselves fell into an argument.
None of them wanted the other to gain an advantage first...
As a result, Xing Wu, who had entered the room, finally spoke indifferently.
"I say, you girls, just stop it. No one is trying to take advantage right now."
Her gaze fell upon Ye Yun outside the window, and she shook her head.
"Let him be alone for a while longer. It's better to let him calm down."
As soon as she spoke, Lin Xueyan and the others had to give up.
Although they fiercely competed for their Master's attention on normal days, Xing Wu was still temporarily the "Master's Wife," and sometimes they had to listen to her.
Thus, the dispute in the room finally came to an end.
Xing Wu, who had resolved the conflict, quietly watched Ye Yun, pondering.
"What exactly did you see?"
If it wasn't something extremely serious, he wouldn't have become like this.
After a long while, Xing Wu retracted her gaze.
Just as she was about to leave, she seemed to notice something and turned to look at a spot in the room.
Her gaze fell upon Xiao Xue.
"By the way, that outfit you've been wearing, why does it look a bit strange?"
The "strange outfit" Xing Wu referred to was naturally the maid costume that Ye Yun had greatly admired from the beginning.
Ever since then, Xiao Xue, in her human form, basically always wore this white silk maid costume, coupled with small high heels, making it very difficult to resist...
Seeing that Xing Wu was asking, Xiao Xue replied without hesitation.
"This is how Master likes it, so I've been wearing it."
Ye Yun was her master, and Xing Wu was her master's immortal companion. In terms of relationship, she was no different from her second master.
Hearing her words, Xing Wu seemed a little surprised and quickly wore a thoughtful expression.
"So that guy likes this kind of strange outfit..."
Before this, she had always thought that Ye Yun would prefer something more revealing and playful.
But this outfit on Xiao Xue wasn't very revealing; it was quite modest, and even her legs were covered by silk stockings...
Clearly, she didn't know that sometimes, more clothing could be more alluring to men than less.
...
Night fell.
In Xing Wu's room, there was a knock on the door.
From the aura alone, she immediately recognized the person and waved her hand, causing the door to open by itself.
As expected, Ye Yun was standing outside the door.
Xing Wu looked at him and said with a faint smile.
"What? Had enough time to calm down alone?"
Since he had come to find her, it meant that the problem had improved.
Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded, his tone filled with apology.
"I'm sorry for making you worry."
He had only just regained his senses.
If he continued in that state, he would only cause those around him to worry.
Therefore, he suppressed the guilt he felt for those who had died in the Samsara Divine Art and decided to chat with Xing Wu for a while.
At this moment, Xing Wu, who was sitting on the bed, reached out and patted the space beside the pillow, her meaning perfectly clear.
Ye Yun quietly sat on the bed, right beside Xing Wu. She then reached out and put her arm around his waist, her delicate body pressing against him.
"Mmm, you still smell so good."
Xing Wu took a deep breath beside him.
This warm scene caused him to sigh softly. He turned to look at Xing Wu beside him and asked.
"If, my decision, caused the innocent deaths of hundreds of millions of people, what would you think?"
