Chapter 65: Taking a Wife, Dongfang Ruoyu

Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Taking a Wife, Dongfang Ruoyu

Dongfang Ruoyu: "..."

’So does that mean we’re now comrades-in-arms, fighting side by side?’

’How strange!’

’But having this guy around doesn’t seem so bad!’

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi was in high spirits.

He led the group toward the garden.

Back in the garden, Bai Zhixi told Zhou Huaiwei and the others the news.

Smiles broke out on everyone’s faces.

They all gave Dongfang Ruoyu and her companions a warm welcome.

Just like that, their burden had been lightened once more!

Elsewhere, Ye Yunyi and Bai Zhixi arrived at the room arranged for Dongfang Ruoyu.

Ye Yunyi took out a medicine. "This should do it."

Dongfang Ruoyu looked at it and swallowed it without hesitation.

The next moment!

A soul-searing pain suddenly coursed through her!

"Ah!"

She let out a mournful cry.

Even Ye Yunyi was startled.

To say nothing of Bai Zhixi beside him!

She stared, dumbfounded, at Dongfang Ruoyu writhing on the bed.

Glancing at Ye Yunyi, she saw that he was busy writing something down in a small notebook.

[Antidote Medicine: Causes pain upon consumption...]

Bai Zhixi: "..."

’Huh?!’

’He’s only writing it down now?!’

Instantly, Bai Zhixi’s gaze toward Dongfang Ruoyu filled with pity.

’Dongfang Ruoyu is like a little white mouse right now!’

’Or maybe like Shennong, tasting all those herbs.’

She was terrified that Dongfang Ruoyu would end up like Shennong,

uttering those final words before kicking the bucket.

’This stuff is poisonous!’

"Ah!"

Another anguished wail echoed through the room.

Dongfang Ruoyu was thrashing about wildly.

Even Ye Yunyi couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

He turned to Bai Zhixi. "Let’s tie her up. What if she demolishes my house?"

Bai Zhixi: "..."

’My husband, are you a demon?’

’How can you be so cruel?!’

But!

The very next moment, she and Ye Yunyi sprang into action.

They tied Dongfang Ruoyu right up!

In an instant, Dongfang Ruoyu looked like a caterpillar,

wriggling ceaselessly.

「A while later.」

Dongfang Ruoyu felt the pain subside.

A wave of relief washed over her!

The dull ache from before was gone!

’The poison is really gone!’

’It’s that effective?!’

Seeing that Dongfang Ruoyu had recovered, Bai Zhixi untied her.

"How is it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?"

Ye Yunyi said. Dongfang Ruoyu nodded.

"So when are we setting out for the Hundred Flowers Alliance? It’s in another fortress," Dongfang Ruoyu asked, not forgetting her senior sister and the other members of the alliance.

"We’ll get married tonight, then we’ll go after that."

"Okay." Hearing the word "married," Dongfang Ruoyu’s face flushed red. After all, she was an unmarried maiden, and this would be her first time.

With that matter settled,

Ye Yunyi prepared to go practice Alchemy.

He had been eager to try it for a while!

He went out immediately.

Bai Zhixi sidled up to Dongfang Ruoyu. "Are you completely better?"

"Mhm, the poison’s cured!"

"Oh, right!" Dongfang Ruoyu looked at Bai Zhixi. "I remember you were at the Late-Silver Stage before, right? But when you tied me up just now, there’s no way you were still at the Late-Silver Stage!"

"Are you... at the Early-Golden Stage now?!"

"Yep!" Bai Zhixi didn’t hide it. "Don’t worry, my husband will help you raise your strength too!"

Her words made Dongfang Ruoyu’s eyes go wide. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

’Ye Yunyi can help people increase their strength?!’

"How does he do it?!"

Dongfang Ruoyu asked.

Bai Zhixi glanced at her. "Relax. He’ll definitely arrange that for you ’later on’."

As she spoke, Bai Zhixi put a special emphasis on a certain phrase.

Dongfang Ruoyu: "..."

’That emphasis just now... was that proper?’

「Outside.」

Ye Yunyi was already preparing for Alchemy!

The beautiful women from before had all come over to watch.

Seeing that Ye Yunyi actually knew Alchemy, they all covered their mouths,

their faces filled with amazement!

Ye Yunyi then placed all the ingredients inside,

controlling every detail with precision.

About an hour later!

A medicinal fragrance began to waft out!

Ye Yunyi carefully controlled the process.

A moment later!

He suddenly lifted the lid!

The aroma billowed out instantly!

Ye Yunyi looked over and saw everyone’s eyes glittering.

"Want to try some?"

Hearing Ye Yunyi’s question,

Bai Zhixi immediately nodded.

Beside her, Zhou Huaiwei, all the other girls, and even Dongfang Ruoyu nodded as well.

Dongfang Ruoyu blushed. ’Isn’t it a bit shameless of me to be nodding along?’

’After all, it’s not ’later on’ yet.’

’But this fragrance is just too tempting!’

However, Ye Yunyi had only asked if they wanted to eat it.

"Wanting to try it is useless. If you ate this, you’d explode and die."

Everyone: "..."

’I... ’

’Then wasn’t it completely unnecessary to ask?!’

"Start the Pill Rubbing. Don’t just stand there stunned."

Ye Yunyi said, a triumphant smile on his face as he watched their expressions.

Resigned, the women began the Pill Rubbing.

Afterwards!

Ye Yunyi went to the innermost room.

He swallowed the medicine directly.

The next moment!

Power surged through him like a roaring torrent!

It constantly battered the barriers within Ye Yunyi’s body!

HUFF!

HUFF!

BOOM!

With a dull thud,

Ye Yunyi’s eyes snapped open!

From within them,

a sharp glint of light shot out!

It was unbelievably piercing!

Then,

he clenched his fist!

In an instant,

the very space around it seemed to warp!

’This power!’

Ye Yunyi then looked at his attribute panel.

[Name: Ye Yunyi]

[Height: 185cm]

[Tier: Mid-Diamond Stage]

[Skills: Rapid Absorption, Divine-level Hunting Skill, Second Stage of Nine Nether Qi, Divine-level Body Technique, Second Stage of Vajra Indestructibility]

[Weapon: Tier One War Axe]

[Artifacts: 19 Divine-level Exotic Beast Control Pills, 10 Death Warrior Puppets (Strength: Late-Golden Stage), Nine Bottles of Divine-Level Exotic Beast Bloodline Essence Reward, 100 Poison Pills]

’Mid-Diamond Stage!’

’I finally broke through!’

Thanks to all those Crystal Cores and this medicine, he had finally broken through!

However, Ye Yunyi started to worry. This advancement alone had consumed so many Crystal Cores.

’Who knows how many I’ll need for the next one?’

But then, he had another thought.

’If I can’t afford to use Crystal Cores...’

’I’ll just use my wives!’

’More children, more blessings. It’s the same thing!’

’Besides, they’ve all just recently gotten pregnant!’

’If they give birth, the system will give me a Super God Level reward!’

’I’ll be invincible then!’

’Yes, yes!’

’First, I need to prepare for tonight’s wedding!’

In the garden!

It was once again decorated with lanterns and streamers!

「Evening!」

In one household after another,

the Patriarchs leaped to their feet upon hearing the news!

Their eyes twitched uncontrollably!

"Wh-What did you just say?!"

"Patriarch, I said that Lord Ye is taking another wife tonight and invites you to attend."

The Patriarch: "..."

’I...’

’No, wait. He’s gotten married two days in a row now!’

’You can’t just do things like this!’

’The main problem is, I can’t afford the wedding gifts!’

Gritting his teeth, he wore a pained expression, as if his own flesh were being torn.

"Let’s go! Pick out a gift!"

The other Patriarchs had more or less the same reaction.

They all began to prepare.

「That night!」

They once again saw Bai Zhixi sitting there, her face blooming with a smile like a flower.
