“Oh, right.”
At this moment, Ye Xuan, who looked as though he was trying to recall something, stretched out an arm and pulled Lin Shiru to his side, saying, “You might have already heard about her but let me properly introduce her to you. This is Lin Shiru, my girlfriend. She will become my wife once I become the head of the Great Xia Alliance.”
Girlfriend?
Wife?
Upon hearing Ye Xuan’s introduction, Qin Yun, who had been deep in thought, stiffened slightly.
“I’m only telling you this because you’re my friend. Don’t let others know about our relationship, we’re not public yet.”
Ye Xuan added on as a reminder.
To be honest, it would not make a vast difference to him even if Qin Yun knew about their relationship.
Qin Yun was returning to Harp Melody Planet almost immediately and he trusted her to not spread the news about his and Lin Shiru’s relationship after his reminder.
Lin Shiru, who was standing beside Ye Xuan, gave him a death glare.
Ye Xuan, however, smiled in return, using his finger to light trace Lin Shiru’s palm.
Upon seeing Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru make eyes at each other…
A feeling of bitterness came over Qin Yun.
She had been deeply moved after Ye Xuan had saved her life on Ancient God Planet and after she had witnessed his spectacular performance.
Yet, it had never crossed her mind that he would already be attached to someone.
Moreover, he and Lin Shiru were going to get married soon.
Her heart soured as she thought enviously about their relationship.
“However… some men from Cerulean Planet seem to have more than one wife. For example, Cerulean Planet’s Xia Houji has more than one.”
Her heart stirred soon after she replied.
She gazed at Lin Shiru and began comparing herself to Lin Shiru.
In comparison to Lin Shiru, one of Qin Yun’s greatest strengths was that she had the entire Harp Melody Clan backing her up.
How about an inter-clan marriage to form an alliance?
She had never thought that she would consider such an option.
And that she would actually be playing the lead role in this.
“Go back and have a discussion with Dad…”
Her thoughts drifted.
She had many suitors from Harp Melody Planet who were chasing after her.
However, none of them could compare to Ye Xuan.
Yet, she feared that Ye Xuan would reject her and not be keen on an inter-clan marriage.
Whoosh!
Snowy Bladefeather Eagle flapped its wings.
As it soared through the sky, it cast a large shadow on the ground below.
Originally, Snowy Bladefeather Eagle’s cultivation level was only at Platinum Level.
However, over this period of time, its cultivation level had improved by leaps and bounds and Snowy Bladefeather Eagle would soon be advancing to Diamond Level.
As Lin Shiru’s Divine Nature Ring grew in power, her beasts similarly grew in strength.
“Sister Shiru, when did you and Ye Xuan get together?”
Snowy Bladefeather Eagle hurriedly brought the three of them in the direction of the space tunnel.
Qin Yun nudged Ye Xuan to a side and sat close to Lin Shiru to have a girls talk.
Ye Xuan stood aside. He shook his head, not giving it further thought when he saw the both of them talking animatedly and leaving him out.
Buzz!
Suddenly, his heart stirred and he could feel the connection between Lord of Light and Shadow’s world and himself being established.
He sensed the changes to both their Beast Lairs. Ye Xuan seemed deep in thought and his subconsciousness shifted. Then, he saw it.
Beams of colourful bright lights filled the heart of both of the worlds. Complicated and mysterious symbols were imprinted on it, as though it was paving a way and signalling that there was a large number of glorious treasures within.
“Has it been formed?”
Upon seeing the transformation of the Basin of Treasures, his eyes brightened.
Typically, it would take between 1 to 5 days for the Basin of Treasures to produce different types of precious treasures.
This time, it had taken slightly more than 3 days.
Whoosh whoosh!
Just as Ye Xuan was pondering about this, in Shadow and Lord of Light’s inner world, both their bodies flashed and they appeared in front of the Basin of Treasures. Their gaze fell on the various items in the Basin of Treasures, their eyes glistening with excitement.
It was obvious that the treasures produced by the Basin of Treasures were extremely attractive to them.
“Praise my lord, may your glory and renown be like the light and spread across the different galaxies. May the souls of this earth all believe in our lord…”
Holding the book of light in one hand, the Lord of Light stared at the Basin of Treasure. However, he seemed to have sensed that Ye Xuan was observing him and began to sing aloud.
Ye Xuan was at a loss.
With a swift decision, he decided to remove the Basin of Treasure from both beasts’ inner world.
He only left behind treasures that would be of great use to Lord of Light and Shadow.
He was not familiar with the treasures that had been produced by the Basin of Treasures.
However, upon seeing Lord of Light and Shadow’s expression, he observed that these treasures could improve their cultivation levels tremendously within a short span of time.
“I hope you two will be able to advance to Challenger Level soon.”
Ye Xuan withdrew from his subconscious mind.
Shadow and Lord of Light were currently at Master Level, 5 stars and they were unable to undergo further editing.
However, they had managed to attain High Master Level.
He was still unsure about the time that they would require to advance to Challenger Level.
After Ye Xuan had withdrawn from his subconsciousness and concentration from the Beast Lair, he saw both Lin Shiru and Qin Yun chatting happily. It seemed as though they got along well with each other.
As he walked towards them with a smile, he asked, “What are the both of you talking about?”
The both of them gave him a brief glance before continuing their conversation animatedly and happily ignoring him.
Ye Xuan grew frustrated.
He stared at Lin Shiru with a fierce look in his eyes…
As if to tell her to watch out when they were alone.
Swoosh!
Not long after, Snowy Bladefeather Eagle had brought the three of them to a Diamond Level Space Channel located within Jiangzhou province.
“Greetings Ye Xuan the prodigy. Greetings, Dean Lin Shiru.”
The guard on patrol immediately saluted both Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru as soon as he saw the both of them.
“This is my friend. She knows both Ye Xuan and me. Thanks for your help this time.”
Lin Shiru replied to the guards on patrol as soon as she landed.
These people had been contacted by her earlier.
She was a lot more detailed and meticulous than Ye Xuan.
It was a good thing that Ye Xuan was going to send Qin Yun back to Harp Melody Planet.
However, it could be horrible should anything happen to Qin Yun on the way back.
Hence, she had made arrangements earlier.
She had arranged for someone to wait here and escort Qin Yun to ensure that she returned home safely.
“Rest assured Dean Lin Shiru!”
There were more than 10 Diamond Level Beast Tamers waiting here.
All of them were from the Tianshan base.
Lin Shiru had contacted Wang Tianshan before she had made her way over.
“Sister Shiru, can I look for you again after I go back and persuade my father?”
Qin Yun asked Lin Shiru in excitement, just as she was about to leave.
“Of course.” ”
Lin Shiru smiled in reply to Qin Yun.
“Then it’s a promise!”
Qin Yun let out a grin. Her beautiful eyes flashed brightly. After she bade Ye Xuan goodbye, the Beast Tamers escorted her and they left through the space vortex.
“You don’t have to be like that. If being together with me is an impediment to you, I would never be able to forgive myself.”
After Qin Yun left, Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru returned to Jiangzhou University together.
On the way back, Ye Xuan held Lin Shiru’s hand and said.
How could he not understand what Lin Shiru was trying to do? Except Ye Xuan himself did not need any further help.
In 23 days, he would have secured his position as the leader of the Great Xia Alliance.
And with ample time, he would be able to reign across the whole Milky Way.
“You are going to become the leader of the Great Xia Alliance.”
Lin Shiru rested in his embrace, “After which, you still intend to make the whole Milky Way become part of Xia’s territory. Even after all these… will you be satisfied? You won’t even manage or control anything and you said I’ll have to help you to do so. But there’s only one of me, are you trying to wear me out?”
“Silly girl.”
Ye Xuan pinched Lin Shiru’s small nose and replied, “You can just let a team of people help you to manage while you make the bigger discussions. Don’t tell me you want to personally manage every small and little matter by yourself.”
Lin Shiru’s heart warmed upon seeing Ye Xuan’s reaction. A feeling of peace came over her.
However, she continued on, “We’ll let nature take its course then. Also, I’m not silly. Which female would allow her man to have other things in his life, except for her?”
“It seems as though the one I’ve chosen is too outstanding for me. I have this feeling that you’re always out of my league and I can’t even compare to you. I am willing to help you to manage the Great Xia Alliance. But, I hope that I can grow stronger with you and that I will be able to spend more time with you.”
Lin Shiru leaned into Ye Xuan’s arms and lifted her head gently. She gazed at Ye Xuan with shimmering eyes.
“You’re too silly.”
Ye Xuan hugged Lin Shiru tightly, his heart ached for her.
He had never thought that the vast improvements in his cultivation level had brought Lin Shiru so much stress.
“However, don’t think that just because I say this, you are permitted to misbehave elsewhere!”
At this moment, Lin Shiru seemed to have recalled something and hurriedly added on, “I was merely making a comment earlier. Also, you aren’t to hide it from me and I have to agree to it first. Lastly, you have to promise me that I will always be most important to you. You aren’t allowed to like the new and despise the old!”
“You, really!”
Ye Xuan hugged her tightly and gently stroked her head.
He knew that she must have been under immense pressure ever since she got together with him.
“Let’s both… get married tomorrow and prepare the wedding festivities. I don’t want to wait any longer!”
Ye Xuan’s heart suddenly stirred and he gazed at Lin Shiru, eyes burning as he replied.
“What?”
