[As Ye Yu flew through the air, he reflected on his years with the Bai family.]
[Decades had passed in peace.]
[Since marrying Bai Miao Leng and becoming Dao companionsâ¦]
[Their relationship had been nothing but loving.]
[Why did everything have to change overnight?]
[No, perhaps nothing had actually changed.]
[The gaze of someone in love is hard to conceal.]
[Having gone through so many dream simulationsâ¦]
[Lived through so many years, and met so many wivesâ¦]
[Ye Yu could practically call himself a master of the heart.]
[Love or the lack of it was something he could sense clearly.]
[By that measure, Bai Miao Leng indeed loved him deeplyâ¦]
[But she was simply a far more dangerous yandere than Li Ruowang.]
[The thought sent a shiver down Ye Yuâs spine.]
[A yandere willing to kill to keep her lover close was incredibly dangerous.]
[And his biggest worry wasâ¦]
[If this simulation ended and Bai Miao Leng retained her memories and sought him out, what would he do?]
[And what if he encountered Li Ruowang again?]
[Yandere versus yandereâ¦]
[That would be a top-level battleground!]
[Or maybe⦠an all-out massacre.]
[No, he had to strengthen his power quicklyânot only to protect himself in the simulationsâ¦]
[But also to ensure his safety in reality!]
[Having a wife like this was truly an ordeal.]
[Of course, if possible, getting rid of her wouldnât be a bad option.]
[Images of their past moments together floated through Ye Yuâs mind.]
[The gentle, caring Bai Miao Leng, always so considerateâ¦]
[It was hard not to miss that side of her.]
[But there were times when one couldnât afford to be soft-hearted!]
[Ye Yuâs gaze grew resolute.]
[Just thenâ¦]
[He noticed a familiar figure standing ahead.]
[It was Bai Yuben, the head of the Bai family.]
[Ye Yu immediately stopped, keeping his distance.]
[He wasnât sure if Bai Yuben knew about Bai Miao Lengâs true identity as a demon.]
[If he did, then Bai Yuben might be here to kill him.]
[But if he didnât know, should Ye Yu reveal it to him?]
[As he ponderedâ¦]
[Bai Yuben slowly approached.]
[It was only then that Ye Yu noticed the left side of Bai Yubenâs previously handsome face was now red and swollen.]
[His robe was slightly disheveled, as though he had been beaten.]
[In fact, Ye Yuâs guess was correct.]
[Bai Yuben had indeed been beaten.]
[Half an hour earlierâ¦]
[Just as Ye Yu broke through the barrier and leftâ¦]
[Bai Yuben had immediately entered from outside.]
[When he saw Bai Miao Leng still in her demoness form, he panicked and dropped to his knees.]
[âMaster, Ye Yu knows your true identity. If he goes around spreading it, it could jeopardize our plans.â]
[âLet me go kill him now!â]
[Hearing thisâ¦]
[Bai Miao Lengâs expression turned icy.]
[With a swift wave of her hand, an invisible slap knocked Bai Yuben to the ground.]
[Enduring the stinging pain on his face, Bai Yuben quickly got up and knelt again, not daring to resist.]
[Bai Miao Leng said coldly, âWho do you think you are?â]
[âYou dare touch my man?â]
[âHave you lost your mind?â]
[âDonât forget who granted you your Ascension Realm powers.â]@@novelbin@@
[âJust as I can give you power, I can take it back.â]
[Bai Yuben pressed his forehead to the ground.]
[In a trembling voice, he pleaded, âPlease, forgive me, Master!â]
[Indeed, Bai Yubenâs true strength was mid-stage Ascension Realmâ¦]
[Though he had kept it concealed.]
[This way, he could avoid attracting the attention of certain powerful figures, making it easier to handle matters quietly.]
[Bai Miao Leng rubbed her temples, clearly troubled.]
[âWhat am I to do? Weâve only been apart for a short time, and I already miss him so much.â]
[âI really want to see him.â]
[Bai Yuben closed his eyes, daring not to make a sound.]
[Just a moment ago, he had sensed an overwhelming killing intent, even through multiple barriers.]
[And now, she was saying she missed him.]
[Indeed, whether in the human or demon realms, women were fickle creatures!]
[But if Ye Yu lived, it could seriously disrupt the original plan!]
[Bai Miao Leng snapped her fingersâ¦]
[Enveloping herself in a black barrier.]
[Moments later, the barrier dissipated, and Bai Miao Leng had resumed her human form.]
[She tossed Bai Yuben a Memory Stone and a storage ring.]
[âGo find Ye Yu and give him these.â]
[âThe Memory Stone contains a message I want him to hear.â]
[âAnd remember, you are not to harm a single hair on his head.â]
[âEven a drop of his sweat is more valuable than your life!â]
[Bai Yuben immediately agreed and left the Soul-Locking River.]
[Which brought them to the present scene.]
[Bai Yuben exhaled slowlyâ¦]
[And walked up to Ye Yu.]
[He extended his right hand, with the storage ring and Memory Stone floating above his palm.]
[âThese are from my master. Take them.â]
[Ye Yu didnât reach out immediately. Instead, he asked softly, âMaster? You mean Bai Miao Leng?â]
[Bai Yuben nodded without hesitation.]
[Seeing thisâ¦]
[Ye Yu couldnât help but give a bitter smile.]
[As expected, Bai Yuben was also one of Bai Miao Lengâs people.]
[In the next momentâ¦]
[Ye Yuâs expression grew strange as he asked tentatively, âAre you a demon as well? Or⦠is the entire Bai family made up of demons?â]
[Bai Yuben replied solemnly, âWeâre all human.â]
[This response allowed Ye Yu to breathe a sigh of relief.]
[For a moment, heâd thought heâd been living in a demonâs nest for decades as the only human.]
[Seeing that Ye Yu still showed no intention of taking the storage ring and Memory Stoneâ¦]
[Bai Yuben spoke again, âHonestly, Iâd love to kill you.â]
[âBut my master forbids it.â]
[âShe even insisted on giving you these items.â]
[âTake them without worryâtheyâre not traps.â]
[âIf I wanted to kill you, I alone would be enough. Why resort to tricks?â]
[As he finished speakingâ¦]
[A terrifying pressure from Bai Yubenâs Ascension Realm powers emanated.]
[Ye Yu maintained a calm expression, though inwardly he was stunned.]
[He hadnât known that Bai Yuben was in the Ascension Realm.]
[It seemed this Bai family head, the servant of a demon princess, was also hiding his true strength.]
[If even a servant could be at the mid-stage Ascension Realm, then Bai Miao Leng was indeed extraordinary.]
[And who knew how many servants like this she controlled?]
[If there were manyâ¦]
[Then perhaps her ambition to conquer the Human Realm wasnât entirely unrealistic!]
[After a moment of contemplation, Ye Yu reached out and took the storage ring and Memory Stone.]
[Bai Yuben hesitated, then his figure flickered and vanished.]
[After he leftâ¦]
[Ye Yu slowly infused spiritual energy into the Memory Stone.]
