Xing Wu watched him with a smile, her jade hand resting on his shoulder. She glanced at Pei Yan and smiled.
"In normal times, I do value his opinion."
Although the reality wasn't quite like that, in front of others, she still gave Ye Yun a lot of face.
She'd let him try out this "overbearing experience card" for now.
Pei Yan raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Is that so..."
Seeing her suspicious look, Ye Yun decisively changed the subject.
He coughed lightly. "Let's talk about such things later when we have time. We have important matters to attend to here this time."
If they continued to chat like that, he was bound to be exposed.
Fortunately, Pei Yan didn't press further. She chuckled and said,
"Alright then. Tell me, what important business do you have for coming here?"
Based on her understanding of Xing Wu, she wouldn't have returned to this place unless it was absolutely necessary.
Ye Yun and Xing Wu exchanged a glance, and ultimately, it was Xing Wu who began to explain.
"This is a long story. It all started from the very beginning..."
After all, Xing Wu hadn't contacted her since she ascended and arrived on the Abyss Continent.
Therefore, she hadn't informed her clansmen about many matters concerning her sister, or even the Heavenly Dao Temple.
This included the prophecy of the Heavenly Domain's disaster.
However, at this point, there was nothing left to hide. She told Pei Yan everything,
including Ye Yun's subsequent choices and the purpose of their visit to the Abyss Continent.
After listening, Pei Yan's face was filled with astonishment.
"I never expected there to be such a thing in the Heavenly Domain?!"
"Yes, although there's still some time before that prophecy comes to pass, the Divine City seems to be appearing soon, so we intend to prepare in advance."
Xing Wu nodded, gazing at Pei Yan and asking,
"What do you say? Do you agree or refuse?"
She was very direct, and besides, they were old acquaintances, so there was no need to waste too much time.
Ye Yun added from the side.
"Although the Abyss Continent and the Heavenly Domain have been in conflict for many years, if you were to lend a hand to the Heavenly Domain in its time of crisis and jointly resist the ultimate disaster."
"I believe that no one would object if you were to acquire a peaceful abode later on."
He knew that this was what the Abyss race cared about most, so he had to add this.
He had initially thought that Pei Yan might need some time to seriously consider such a significant matter.
To his surprise, she gave a very straightforward answer.
"Yes, since you've both asked, we on the Abyss Continent will definitely help out."
Her overly brisk attitude surprised Ye Yun. He asked with some astonishment,
"Are you sure you don't want to consider it further? Aren't you worried that I might abandon your Abyss Continent forever?"
After all, in his opinion, if the Heavenly Domain's troubles were resolved, it wouldn't be good for the Abyss Continent.
Her agreeing so readily based on a verbal agreement was indeed somewhat...
"Naturally, I'm not worried."
Pei Yan smiled faintly, her gaze falling on Xing Wu.
"I've always trusted this girl's judgment. The fact that she's here with you is proof enough."
If there were any among the Abyss Continent who cared most about the Abyss race, Xing Wu would definitely be at the forefront.
She deeply believed that Xing Wu would not harm her clansmen.
Hearing this, Ye Yun also looked at Xing Wu.
She shrugged her shoulders and said,
"You're still the same as before, decisive in your actions. That's your only good quality."
"Hey, why do you talk about your best friend like that?"
Pei Yan expressed her displeasure at Xing Wu's "praise."
Xing Wu, however, sneered at her and said calmly,
"Before we continue, can you take your hand off him?"
She said this because Pei Yan, while talking, had placed her hand on Ye Yun's shoulder again.
The proximity, coupled with the curves in front and the fullness behind, was incredibly seductive.
Sensing Xing Wu's displeased gaze, Pei Yan smiled and teased,
"It's just a little closeness, do you have to be so protective?"
Despite saying that, she grudgingly removed her hand.
Xing Wu snorted and said,
"If you're thirsty, go find it yourself, or deal with it yourself."
Pei Yan smiled playfully. "What are you saying? Isn't that what I'm doing? Lord Ye Yun is very suitable. He hasn't said he's going to snatch your position as the primary wife."
Ye Yun felt helpless watching the exchange between the two women.
As expected, women are like tigers...
At this moment, he felt that not interjecting was the best course of action, lest he get caught in the middle. He immediately stood up and looked at Xing Wu, clearing his throat.
"Uh, since there are no problems, my wife, you two chat first. Let's discuss the distribution of contributions for our alliance and our future plans. I'll go and interrogate those three guys first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun vanished like smoke.
This was a place of trouble, and he'd rather not be there!
"Oh my, what a cute little brother..."
After Ye Yun left, Pei Yan said with great emotion.
"I just love his shy demeanor, I really want to eat him up."
Xing Wu stared at her and said calmly,
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Do you want to do something with him to pave the way for your future clansmen?"
Hearing this, Pei Yan smiled charmingly.
"Don't think of people so badly. I truly admire him."
Xing Wu snorted softly.
"If someone genuinely loves him, I wouldn't object. But if you approach him with other intentions, don't blame me for being impolite."
This was also the main reason she was so resistant to Pei Yan getting close to Ye Yun.
It was clear that Pei Yan's desire to get close to Ye Yun wasn't out of genuine affection, but more for personal gain...
Pei Yan shook her head, took a sip of tea, and sighed.
"You are still the same as before, always so protective of your own..."
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Ye Yun, having escaped the bedchamber, returned to face the three foreigners.
They were still bound by the "windy" ropes.
Seeing Ye Yun's appearance, one of them shouted sternly.
"You fellow, what exactly do you want to do to us?!"
Ye Yun smiled indifferently. "You men, you're not little sisters next door, what can I do to you?"
"I'm keeping you because I have some questions to ask."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the three of them, finally landing on the man in red, who seemed to be the leader.
"Tell me, how did you get here, and everything related to it!"
"What if I don't tell you?"
The man in red glared at him ferociously, still unwilling.
In response, Ye Yun smiled.
"You are all Emperor-tier cultivators. You must have considerable status in your world, right?"
"Then how about I strip you naked, lock you in a cage, and let the people of this world admire peak Emperor-tier powerhouses from another world?"
He then appeared to be deep in thought.
"What do you think would be a reasonable ticket price?"
