Chapter 4777
Had the Tenth Palace Master not secretly released Yun Li, he would have remained imprisoned for life.
Following Kai was Yun Li’s way of acknowledging a fellow hero—one warrior recognizing another.
“I just hope to break through the peak of the Mahayana Realm and step into the Immortal Transformation Realm…”
Zhou Tang was growing impatient to ascend to the next stage.
“That shouldn’t be too difficult. Mr. Chen has provided us with so many resources. Let’s use these next few days wisely—I can feel that a breakthrough is within reach!”
Xuan Bin encouraged.
“Exactly! We can’t afford to be idle. We need to break through as soon as possible. Given Mr. Chen’s talent, he won’t take long to advance. If we don’t keep up, we won’t be of any help to him!”
Cangyue added.
The three of them asked Xiao Yuanshan to find them a secluded place where they could focus on breaking through. Reaching the peak of the Mahayana Realm would elevate their strength to an entirely new level.
Watching them leave, Xiao Yuanshan let out a sigh.
“Ah… when will I reach the peak of the Mahayana Realm?”
As the saying goes, one mountain always looms higher than another, and human desires are endless.
Xuan Bin, Zhou Tang, and Cangyue were fixated on breaking through to the Immortal Transformation Realm, envious of those who had already reached it.
Yet, they failed to realize that countless other cultivators envied them.
For Xiao Yuanshan, reaching the peak of the Mahayana Realm was still a distant dream.
Inside the Secret Chamber
Kai and Hua Yueying stood facing each other.
“Miss Hua, if you don’t want to teach me, I won’t force you. I’ll still make sure you have all the resources you need in the future, so you won’t have to worry.”
Kai didn’t want to pressure her.
After all, the technique was rightfully hers to teach—or not.
“I’ll teach you, but on one condition…”
Hua Yueying said.
“What condition?” Kai asked, momentarily taken aback.
“Sleep with me.”
Hua Yueying’s voice was calm, yet unwavering.
“What?”
Kai froze, momentarily unable to process what he had just heard.
“Sleep with me…” Hua Yueying repeated.
“Is that… appropriate? We’ve only known each other for a short time,” Kai said awkwardly.
“There’s nothing inappropriate about it. Once you’ve slept with me, we’ll be family. When my Ganlin descends upon the world, I will teach you,” Hua Yueying explained.
“Miss Hua, are you asking this because you have feelings for me?” Kai asked.
Hua Yueying shook her head. “No.”
“You don’t like me, yet you want to sleep with me? Isn’t that contradictory? Why would you be with someone you don’t even like?”
Kai was surprised and couldn’t grasp her reasoning.
“I don’t have to like you to become your woman. You have a powerful background and abundant resources. If I align myself with you, my cultivation will benefit greatly.”
“Besides, I’ve already offended the Temple and the Huo family. They might not dare to seek revenge on you, but they will come for me. I need protection, and staying by your side is undoubtedly the safest choice. I also have complete confidence in your future.”
Hua Yueying spoke without hesitation, laying out her reasoning clearly.
Her decision wasn’t based on love—it was a strategic choice. This was, in essence, a transaction.
“But your father is the Lord of the Northern Territory. You could—”
“I never said I wanted to acknowledge him,” Hua Yueying interrupted coldly before Kai could finish.
“This…” Kai hesitated.
“I will be your woman and teach you the Rain Descends Upon the World technique. In return, you will provide me with resources and ensure my safety. Isn’t that a fair deal?”
“It is… but…” Kai still felt like he was being sold.
“I’m offering myself to you now. Just because I don’t love you yet doesn’t mean I never will. Maybe after we spend more time together, my feelings will change.”
Hua Yueying smiled.
“Alright… I accept.”
With that, Kai pulled her into his embrace.
