Meanwhile, deep within the planet Tian Lan Domain.
This was a blood-red space, akin to a nine-level hell, shrouded in dense, malevolent energy, encompassing a broken fragment of a cyan sword, like a demon forged in fire.
Nearby, a white-robed elder sat in meditation. Suddenly, the blood-red space trembled, and the sealed broken sword fragment not far away began to violently assault its surroundings.
However, under the rock-solid defense around it, the struggling broken sword fragment had little effect.
The white-robed elder watched this scene, his aged brows furrowed deeply.
"Ten thousand years have passed, and this demonic sword has stirred again. It seems our days of peace are numbered..."
Every time this fragment of the demonic sword showed signs of abnormality, nothing good followed.
He wondered what trouble would arise this time.
...
Inside the luxurious single suite.
Not long after Ye Yun had put away the broken sword fragment, he saw Lin Xueyan and the others return in a hurried rush.
"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened, Junior Sister has fainted!"
Fang Zhiwei called out urgently as the group stormed in.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun frowned, his gaze falling upon Xiao Ai, who was cradled in Lin Xueyan's arms.
"What's wrong with her?"
He had deliberately kept her separate precisely to prevent any accidents. Had something still happened?
Lin Xueyan placed Xiao Ai on the bed, while Fang Zhiwei explained to Ye Yun.
"It's like this, didn't the natural phenomenon appear outside just now? As soon as she came out, Junior Sister started emitting a red light, and her entire demeanor changed."
"But after the natural phenomenon disappeared, the red light on her also vanished, and then she fainted."
Chen Lingyi asked with great concern.
"Junior Sister, will she be alright?"
Through their prolonged time together, their relationship had become like sisters, and they were all very worried.
Ye Yun gently stroked her head, comforting her.
"Don't worry, she'll be fine. I promise you."
Ye Yun said with a smile, then carefully examined Xiao Ai's condition, finding it similar to the last time in Ling Luo Domain.
Although he couldn't pinpoint the exact reason, there was no immediate crisis.
Finally, he let out a sigh of relief and said, "She's fine, just a little weak and fainted."
Lin Xueyan frowned and asked.
"Master, what was that red light before? Junior Sister's condition seems to be related to it, doesn't it?"
Ye Yun felt a bit awkward and cleared his throat.
"That, the red light was something I created. Speaking of which, Xiao Ai's condition is indeed related to it."
"Ah?"
Lin Xueyan and the others were startled, all looking at their master with confusion.
Helpless, Ye Yun had no choice but to explain the matter of the broken sword to them.
After all, the last time in Ling Luo Domain, only Xiao Meng had truly witnessed the peculiar connection between Xiao Ai and this broken sword fragment.
After a lengthy explanation, the women looked at each other with peculiar expressions, unable to make much sense of it.
"So that's how it is..."
Lin Xueyan nodded, then glanced at Xiao Ai on the bed.
"Then in the future, Master, please don't take out the fragment so casually. It seems to be not good for Junior Sister."
"You don't need to remind me. I know what I'm doing."
Ye Yun took a deep breath and looked deeply at Xiao Ai.
It now seemed that this broken sword fragment truly affected Xiao Ai, even without direct contact.
He would have to be even more careful in the future.
...
Meanwhile, on the street, Xing Meng and Song Ziyue, who were wandering about, were also observing the sudden natural phenomenon.
However, as the phenomenon disappeared, they both withdrew their gazes.
"Damn it, what was that red light just now?"
Evidently, Xing Meng hadn't yet realized that the natural phenomenon was caused by Ye Yun.
It was Song Ziyue, however, who had a meaningful expression on her face as she looked in the direction they had come from.
"How many more secrets does that guy have on him... I really want to explore them, I really want to figure them out quickly..."
Even though she hadn't witnessed it firsthand, her intuition told her that the commotion in the sky was inextricably linked to Ye Yun.
It was even highly possible that he was the one who caused it...
The immense pressure that had filled the sky made even her, an Arch-Prime God, feel a considerable shock.
In an instant, Song Ziyue's curiosity about Ye Yun reached a new peak, so high that she couldn't resist taking some action against Ye Yun tonight.
In a flash, a plan formed in Song Ziyue's mind, and she couldn't help but lick her lips.
"Ye Yun, oh Ye Yun, tonight I will unearth all your secrets, not a single drop left!"
On the other side, Ye Yun was unaware that he had been targeted by someone brimming with curiosity.
He merely shivered inexplicably, a mere hunch.
As night fell upon Tian Lan Domain, the city where Ye Yun resided displayed its characteristic prosperity and liveliness.
Especially during this special period, cultivators could be seen coming and going everywhere.
And Ye Yun's residence was quite lively due to the presence of Lin Xueyan and the others.
"What are you all doing with those towels?"
Ye Yun, who was looking after Xiao Ai, noticed Lin Xueyan and the others rummaging for toiletries nearby.
Fang Zhiwei smiled and said, "What else? Of course, to bathe and change, and then go to sleep!"
"..."
Ye Yun was speechless and said with a hint of annoyance.
"Do you all have to wash today, right now?"
Although the room wasn't small, it was ultimately a single suite. With such a cramped space, if several of them were bathing, the sound of splashing water would be clearly audible here.
Fang Zhiwei scratched her head, appearing completely clueless.
"What's wrong with bathing now?"
After saying that, she seemed to have a sudden realization and looked at Ye Yun with interest.
"Could it be that our bathing here will make Master unable to maintain his composure?"
"What do you think?"
"I don't know either."
Fang Zhiwei said with a hint of slyness.
Ye Yun was exasperated and waved his hand.
"Forget it, do as you please. Just remember to dress properly."
"Of course. Although you're Master, I still understand the principle of male and female distinction!"
Fang Zhiwei said with determination.
However, Ye Yun could only scoff at that.
Male and female distinction? What do you know!
After receiving his permission, Lin Xueyan and the others eagerly went to bathe.
Inside the room, Xing Meng and Song Ziyue had also returned. The former was leaning by the window, admiring the night view outside.
As for Song Ziyue, she sat on the sofa not far away, gazing at Ye Yun intermittently, seemingly contemplating something.
