What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 82
ãâBrother Yu,â the words made Ye Yuâs thoughts whirl.ã
ãIt had been a long time since anyone called him that.ã
ãTurning around, he saw it was the long-absent Shi Aotian.ã
ãAt this moment, although his appearance hadnât changed, there was a hint less of innocence in his eyes.ã
ãYe Yu punched Shi Aotian in the chest.ã
ãLaughing and scolding, You bastard, where have you been all these years?ã
ãShi Aotian was pushed back by the blow, but he didnât show any anger.ã@@novelbin@@
ãHe only felt an immense sense of familiarity.ã
ãCalling out âBrother Yuâ again, he then recounted his experiences over these years.ã
ãOver a hundred years ago, after Shi Aotian and Ye Yu killed the grandson of the former Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect, they faced a furious pursuit.ã
ãAlthough Ye Yu claimed they split up because their targets were too big, in reality, Shi Aotian knew very well it was because of his own inadequate strength.ã
ãYe Yu was already at the peak of Divine Transformation realm.ã
ãAt that time, Shi Aotian was only in the late stages of Nascent Soul.ã
ãFollowing Ye Yu around, he was nothing but a burden.ã
ãFrom that moment on, Shi Aotian felt the importance of strength for the first time.ã
ãSo he found a place to seclude himself and cultivate, planning to quickly break through to Divine Transformation realm, then come out to assist Ye Yu.ã
ãBut what Shi Aotian hadnât expected was that after he broke through to the Divine Transformation realm in seclusion, everything had changed.ã
ãYe Yu had killed the Sect Master of Mystic Yin Sect and taken his place.ã
ãTransforming from an obscure wandering cultivator into the hottest figure in the East Sea Continent.ã
ãSuch a huge change made Shi Aotian both happy for Ye Yu and deeply self-reproachful.ã
ãWe promised to be brothers, sharing prosperity and adversity.ã
ãBut at this critical moment, he was still like he was in his youth.ã
ãYe Yu dealt with all the dangers himself, and only then did Shi Aotian timidly show up.ã
ãShi Aotian didnât want things to continue like this.ã
ãWhat he wanted was to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ye Yu in battle, to truly become a helpful brother.ã
ãNot someone who had to hide away whenever something happened.ã
ãSo, Shi Aotian decisively ventured into the Southern Barbarian Continent to strive, planning to establish himself and then return to find Ye Yu.ã
ãAs a result, this trip to the Southern Barbarian Continent wasnât in vain at all.ã
ãThere, Shi Aotian had an incredible encounter during his adventure.ã
ãHis cultivation soared.ã
ãThis gave him full confidence upon his return.ã
ãPausing here, Shi Aotianâs lips curled slightly upwards:ã
ãBrother Yu, Iâm now a mid-stage Tribulation Crossing cultivator. Pretty impressive, right? From now on, Iâll protect you.ã
ãYe Yu smiled and nodded.ã
ãShi Aotian continued, Brother Yu, what cultivation stage are you now? Why canât I see through your cultivation? Could it be that youâre wearing some kind of concealment artifact?ã
ãYe Yu calmly replied, Iâm at the peak of Tribulation Crossing realm.ã
ãJust these few simple words struck Shi Aotian deeply once again.ã
ãAt that moment, in the great hall, a certain manâs confidence shattered into pieces.ã
ãPieces that couldnât be pieced back together.ã
ãShi Aotian began scratching his head frantically, pondering over what could possibly be wrong.ã
ãHe and Ye Yu were born on the same day of extreme yin.ã
ãCalculating the years, they were both just over two hundred years old.ã
ãUnder normal circumstances, at this age, one should be struggling between the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.ã
ãIf you can reach the Nascent Soul Realm, you are already a genius in the eyes of others. ã
ãReaching the Divine Transformation realm would make one a dragon among men.ã
ãAt over two hundred years old, to achieve the Tribulation Crossing realm, Shi Aotian had to admit, though not absolutely unprecedented, it was certainly a unique feat in a millennium.ã
ãThis was why Shi Aotian felt so inflated.ã
ãHowever, the one who walked with dominance across the Southern Barbarian Continent, found himself unable to lift his head in front of Ye Yu.ã
ãOver two hundred years old and at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing realm, isnât this pure bullying?ã
ãIs there any justice in this world? Is there any law?ã
ãDoesnât anyone care?ã
ãSeeing Shi Aotianâs devastated appearance, Ye Yu couldnât help but console him with a sentence.ã
ãCompared to others, youâre already very impressive!ã
ãThis sentence instantly broke Shi Aotianâs defenses.ã
ãWas it praise, or was it mockery after all?ã
ãHowever, Shi Aotian was not a jealous person.ã
ãToday was just a failed attempt at showing off.ã
ãAnyway, in front of Ye Yu, he wasnât afraid of losing face.ã
ãThen, he took out a storage ring from his arms, bluntly stating that this was a collection of gifts he had gathered for Ye Yu over these many years.ã
ãMost of the items on it came from the Southern Barbarian Continent.ã
ãOf course, there were also things from the East Sea Continent.ã
ãMany were from renowned cultivators, and one from a sect called Burning Blossom Pavilion.ã
ãIt was said that the Pavilion Master of Burning Blossom Pavilion was as beautiful as a celestial maiden.ã
ãOriginally, Shi Aotian had planned to snatch her back as a wife for Ye Yu.ã
ãBut upon meeting her, he found out that the Pavilion Master was quite plain-looking.ã
ãAll those claims about her beauty were just exaggerated by her subordinates.ã
ãShi Aotian was instantly furious.ã
ãWasnât this false advertising?ã
ãHe then made a few sarcastic remarks.ã
ãThe Pavilion Master of Burning Blossom Pavilion was also quite sharp-tongued, and they immediately got into a heated argument.ã
ãIt escalated to particularly dirty insults.ã
ãIn a fit of rage, Shi Aotian slaughtered the entire Burning Blossom Pavilion.ã
ãUpon hearing this story, Ye Yuâs expression turned incredibly strange.ã
ãSo, Shi Aotian was the rumored âfierce dragon crossing the riverâ from the Southern Barbarian Continent as others said?ã
ãThis is too ridiculous.ã
ãAfterward, Ye Yu conveyed Lan Lianyanâs message to Shi Aotian and advised him to be more cautious recently.ã
ãShi Aotian was utterly fearless, declaring his intention to wipe out these self-righteous orthodox sects.ã
ãA plan suddenly formed in Ye Yuâs mind.ã
ãHe immediately arranged for Shi Aotian to leave Mystic Yin Sect, diverting the attention of various sects like Flower Spirit Mountain outside.ã
ãYe Yu himself would go to the Northern Desolate Continent to find someone.ã
ãUpon his return, the two would join forces to eliminate these righteous sects.ã
ãShi Aotian readily agreed.ã
ãIn reality, the main reason Ye Yu wanted to go to the Northern Desolate Continent was the prophecy from the Celestial Secrets Sect.ã
ãIt had been bothering him all along.ã
ãThe demon has a nemesis, and the nemesis is in the North.ã
ãYe Yu truly wanted to see who this nemesis was.ã
ãBefore leaving, Ye Yu still went to the Treasure Pavilion to bid farewell to Lan Lianyan after much deliberation.ã
ãHe claimed Mystic Yin Sect had arranged for him to explore a secret realm. He might be away for a while.ã
ãHe wouldnât be able to have dinner with her for a while.ã
ãUpon hearing this, Lan Lianyan was instantly saddened.ã
ãShe urged Ye Yu to come back soon and to be careful in all things.ã
ãYe Yu smiled faintly and tousled Lan Lianyanâs hair.ã
ãIn his heart, he couldnât help but think.ã
ãIf she werenât an undercover agent, and truly was a disciple of Mystic Yin Sect, how great would that be?ã
ãLan Lianyan stepped back abruptly, stating she was Ye Yuâs senior. It was disrespectful to pat her head like that.ã
ãHe would need to compensate with two roasted rabbits!ã
ãYe Yu suddenly had black lines all over his head. ã
ãHe was about to leave, and she was using such a lame excuse to extort food? Indeed, a foodieâs heart knows no sorrow or joy, only food.ã
ãTen days later.ã
ãYe Yu traveled a long distance to arrive at the Northern Desolate Continent.ã
ãTrue to its name, the land here was desolate.ã
ãBut before Ye Yu could begin his exploration here, he suddenly felt a palpitation.ã
ãThunder echoed in the sky.ã
ãWas it the Heavenly Tribulation? Was it finally coming?ã
