"My wife, are you impatient?"
Ye Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, gazing at his wife Xing Wu with a playful smile.
In this world, what could be more captivating than their current state?
Xing Wu chuckled dismissively and replied, "Is there a problem? I've been busy for so long, my mind is almost drained. I need to recharge."
Her response left Ye Yun speechless, and he shook his head.
"My dear wife, are you a power bank?"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
It was clear she didn't quite understand the term "power bank."
Ye Yun realized he had used the wrong word and gave a dry laugh. "It's nothing, I was just praising you."
He then decisively changed the subject, appraising Xing Wu from head to toe and smiling. "But since my wife has spoken, what else can I say? Mission guaranteed to be completed!"
A smile played on Ye Yun's lips as he seemed to recall something amusing. "Speaking of which, Hongchen Mountain just sent over some interesting items not long ago. It's time to give them a try."
Now, upon hearing the name Hongchen Mountain, Xing Wu's face would involuntarily blush. The past events had impacted her too greatly. Even now, when she thought of them, she felt an uncontrollable sense of shame.
"You scoundrel, have you learned bad habits from them?"
Xing Wu shot him a glare, her tone a mixture of indignation and embarrassment. But to Ye Yun, this only made her appear more alluring, making him want to bite her then and there.
Ye Yun chuckled, "As the saying goes, men are not bad, women do not love. Isn't it more to your liking if I'm a little bad?"
"What twisted logic."
Xing Wu let out a soft huff, but then relaxed and raised her eyebrows. "However, judging by your performance these past few days, I'll let you have your way..."
With that said, how could Ye Yun resist?
...
...
...
Six hours later.
Both had changed their clothes and were conversing softly by the bedside.
Xing Wu's complexion was slightly flushed. As she adjusted the strap on her fair shoulder, she asked Ye Yun, "By the way, how did you manage that earlier?"
Ye Yun, currently sprawled weakly on the bed, turned his head slowly at her question, his voice a little faint. "Are you referring to the Shifang Futian Formation?"
That was the only thing he could think of.
As expected, Xing Wu nodded immediately. "Yes, I only gave you the Shen Yuan Mo Yu Formation. How did you create the one that followed?"
"This..."
Ye Yun hesitated.
Xing Wu, who was sitting beside him and elegantly pulling on black silk stockings, paused. She fixed her gaze on Ye Yun, raising her eyebrows. "You, don't tell me you came up with it yourself through a sudden flash of inspiration."
She had, in fact, accurately predicted his potential excuse.
He remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you... really want to know?"
"..."
Sensing Ye Yun's gaze, Xing Wu frowned and then inquired, "Is it because of that chaotic supreme treasure?"
"Sort of," Ye Yun admitted tentatively.
This time, Xing Wu fell silent. Truthfully, being as intelligent as she was, she had harbored vague suspicions about certain matters for a long time, but lacked any proof.
At this moment, Ye Yun sighed and said, "Regarding this matter, it is specifically..."
Before he could finish, Xing Wu interrupted him with a smile. "It's alright, how you did it no longer matters."
"Uh..."
Ye Yun looked up in surprise. Xing Wu was smiling at him. "I was just a little curious. The answer itself is no longer important."
She could see Ye Yun's hesitation and had no intention of forcing him to answer. After speaking, she continued putting on her stockings as if nothing had been said.
"..."
Ye Yun stared for a long time, finally letting out a helpless chuckle. This wife, Xing Wu, was truly wonderful in this regard. To be honest, the reason he had not revealed the truth was not due to a lack of trust or fear of the consequences, but rather a fear of bringing them trouble. He had originally intended to inform them after conquering the heavens and becoming invincible, but the current fusion of the Great Thousand Worlds had made everything fraught with danger. In such circumstances, knowing more could be more perilous, potentially implicating them. Therefore, the best course of action was to maintain secrecy until he was truly capable of protecting them...
A while later, Xing Wu finished putting on her stockings. Her slender fingers gently caressed the soft fabric as she smiled at Ye Yun. "How is it? Does it look good?"
Ye Yun admired her for a moment before giving her a thumbs-up. "Of course! It's absolutely perfect!" In fact, to some connoisseurs, it was more than perfect; it was edible! prprprp!!! Honestly, Xing Wu's aloof and noble temperament truly shone when paired with these black stockings!
"Is it that exaggerated?"
"Absolutely! You two are so compatible!" Xing Wu looked at Ye Yun's expression with a hint of helplessness. It was just a pair of socks, and she couldn't understand why he was so excited. Looking at him, it seemed as if he were the one who was weak, yet he looked ready to jump up again.
Ye Yun, captivated by her attire, leaned in again, but before he could get close, Xing Wu's delicate fingers pressed against his forehead. "Stop it, that's enough for today," Xing Wu smiled and said. "We can talk about it later when you return from Lingluo Domain. Then, I'll have you tell me all the interesting things that happened there."
"This... alright."
Ye Yun sighed. Honestly, he was quite exhausted now. Even after becoming a deity, one couldn't overdo it sometimes. He grabbed Xing Wu's hand and asked curiously, "By the way, are you sure you don't want to come with me to Lingluo Domain? The Shifang Futian Formation here still needs a lot of debugging. What happens if I leave?"
"That... I suppose that's true..."
Ye Yun sighed, then smiled as if he had thought of something. "Aren't you afraid I might meet other beautiful women? From what Bing Yu said, the Star Lord of Lingluo Domain is also a woman."
However, before he could finish, Xing Wu's hand tugged at his cheek. With a deceptively gentle smile, she said, "Feel free to do as you please. I've also prepared a treasure for you."
"Uh, what treasure?"
Then, Xing Wu produced a treasure that resembled scissors from somewhere... This was clearly a veiled threat.
Ye Yun quickly waved his hands. "Calm down, my dear wife, calm down! I was just joking!" Although he was now a Star God-level powerhouse, some afflictions couldn't be cured by sheer strength alone.
Xing Wu released him and sniffed. "In any case, don't dwell on these things. Be more mindful of your safety. After all, you'll be going into someone else's territory." Despite her seemingly stern words, she was clearly concerned about him.
Ye Yun smiled faintly. "I'll be careful. Even if something happens, escaping will be no problem." Now that he no longer had the Tianyu as a weakness to constantly worry about, he felt much more relaxed. Unless he encountered an impossibly strong enemy, ordinary Celestial Gods couldn't do anything to him.
Seeing his confidence, Xing Wu finally felt at ease. "Alright, then we'll depart tomorrow..."
...
Meanwhile, in the distant Qianyuan Domain.
As a Level 3 Great World, its vast expanse was enough to astound those from Level 1 Great Worlds. Within a sacred temple atop a mountain peak in Qianyuan Domain, the Star Lord of Qianyuan Domain had just emerged from seclusion. Upon exiting, he saw a rather disheveled divine envoy sitting dejectedly in a corner of the hall. Noticing the Star Lord's emergence, the envoy immediately rushed forward, bowed, and exclaimed, "My Lord Star Lord! You've finally come out of seclusion!"
Seeing his dishevelled state, the Star Lord of Qianyuan Domain frowned and asked, "What happened to you?"
Upon hearing this, the divine envoy became indignant. "It's like this, my Lord Star Lord. Following your instructions, I went to search for and annex other Great Worlds. However, on one of the Level 1 Great Worlds, I..."
