But she quickly regained her senses and sighed.
"Young Master Ye, you must understand that this is likely your last period of peace."
"You must have sensed, to some extent, that you are burdened with countless karmic ties."
"Once you leave here, you will be faced with one trouble after another."
If it were possible, Ning Qianqin truly wished he could live here for a while longer.
Not just for herself, to be able to see him day and night.
But also for him, to have one more day of tranquil life.
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled dismissively.
"It doesn't matter. Troubles will come, and they will come. I'm already quite accustomed to it."
In fact, compared to the troubles he would encounter upon leaving, the serenity here made him inexplicably uneasy.
Ning Qianqin looked at his beaming face and fell into a long silence.
Within the space, an awkward quiet settled.
Finally, it was Ye Yun who remembered something and broke the silence.
"By the way, Miss Ning, during the last Sea God Festival, I encountered the Sea Goddess in the Endless Sea."
"She claimed to be Xiao Meng's mother and said Xiao Meng is a Demon God. Is that true?"
Although quite some time had passed, he hadn't seen Ning Qianqin again and thus had no opportunity to ask.
Now that they met again, he remembered the matter.
This time, Ning Qianqin no longer concealed anything and nodded directly.
"As you said, she is indeed a Demon God, or rather, a future Demon God."
"I don't quite understand. Is Xiao Meng that powerful?"
In response to Ye Yun's confusion, Ning Qianqin took a sip of tea and shook her head.
"You've been with her for quite some time, you should have noticed her cultivation, right?"
"Yes, it seems stronger than yours, truly at the Divine Spirit level."
"Precisely, the Divine Spirit level."
A hint of gloom flashed in Ning Qianqin's eyes as she slowly explained.
"But the problem is, even in the most ancient Divine Era, no one was born with Divine Spirit level cultivation."
This statement astonished Ye Yun.
"Whoa, born as a Divine Spirit?"
He was so shocked that he even slipped into his hometown dialect.
While he had heard before that some bloodlines or physiques were incredibly terrifying, allowing them to possess a certain level of cultivation at birth.
But the issue was, that would be at most below the Saint realm, and at most the Saint realm itself, which would already be considered exceptionally heaven-defying.
This accompanying Divine Spirit level cultivation made Ye Yun exclaim in his heart.
His mother is truly formidable...
Ning Qianqin sighed softly and nodded. "Yes, her future is immeasurable."
"But the problem is, the Demon God bloodline she possesses will inevitably bring immense disaster to those around her, and even to this world in the future."
After hearing this explanation, Ye Yun finally understood.
Indeed, a terrifying being born with Divine Spirit level cultivation, if further cultivated in the future, could reach an unfathomable realm.
The emergence of such a chaotic Demon God would truly be a disaster for everyone.
Ye Yun couldn't help but take a deep breath and asked, looking at her.
"Since you knew she was so terrifying, why didn't you kill her earlier? Instead, you had me take her as a disciple?"
Ning Qianqin's explanation left Ye Yun speechless.
She smiled and said, "Well, of course, it's because I believe you can resolve her issues."
"If it were you, perhaps you could guide her and lead her down the right path in the future."
However, Ye Yun did not entirely believe this explanation.
His intuition told him that she must have a more certain reason for doing so.
"Miss Ning, you think too highly of me. If the current Xiao Meng were to go mad, she could probably kill me, her master, with a single slap."
During this time, through his repeated encounters with Xiao Meng and witnessing her terrifying power, he had come to a profound realization.
Even with his dual domains and dual heavenly principles, all of it was nonsense in the face of absolute power at the Divine Spirit level.
The Sea God's Spear that Xiao Meng unleashed back then, even he now, using his full strength and even the True Flame Shield, might not be able to withstand it.
However, Ning Qianqin smiled faintly.
"Not being able to control her now doesn't mean you won't be able to later. Your power is beyond your imagination."
"I hope so..."
Ye Yun shook his head helplessly.
After all, now that he had accepted her, he had to be responsible for Xiao Meng to the end.
Even if she were a Demon God and intended to wreak havoc, he would do his best to stop her.
And given her current docile demeanor, she didn't seem like a Demon God who would casually destroy the world.
Therefore, feeling somewhat relieved, he picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked.
"Then now, let's talk about the main business. What is the last condition?"
The matters of concern had been addressed, leaving only this final crucial task.
"This last one is very difficult."
Ning Qianqin smiled, seemingly confident that Ye Yun would not be able to complete it in a short time.
"No matter how difficult, it doesn't matter."
At this point, Ye Yun had accepted his fate.
No matter how outrageous Ning Qianqin's conditions were, he would do his utmost to fulfill them.
Having said that, he relaxed, took another sip of tea, and prepared to hear her wise proposal.
Ning Qianqin paused for a moment in thought, then smiled and said.
"Then, let's get married."
Her calm words caused the atmosphere in the entire space to freeze completely.
Subsequently, Ye Yun was so choked by the tea that he coughed repeatedly.
Seeing this, Ning Qianqin smiled and offered a handkerchief.
"Why are you so excited? Here, wipe it."
As Ye Yun watched Ning Qianqin lean in, her curves tantalizingly close, he truly couldn't keep his composure.
Ye Yun immediately pushed her hand away and subtly took a step back.
Ye Yun casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then looked at the smiling Ning Qianqin in utter astonishment.
"What did you say? Married?"
He looked as if he had seen a ghost. What kind of preposterous condition was this?
Fortunately, Ning Qianqin immediately covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Alright, just kidding. Don't be so agitated."
Hearing this, Ye Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"You scared me. So, what's the real condition?"
To be honest, that joke had terrified him immensely.
She was a quasi-deity, and even after breaking through, she still exuded an unfathomable pressure.
If she were interested in him, he would likely have to leave something behind to get away...
Fortunately, it was just a joke. Ye Yun picked up his teacup and took another sip to calm his nerves.
Then, Ning Qianqin smiled and said.
"It's very simple. If you can defeat me, you can leave."
This time, after she finished speaking, there was another silence around the tea table.
Ye Yun forced down the tea in his mouth, looked at Ning Qianqin, who no longer seemed to be joking, and after a long silence, he couldn't help but say.
"How about... we just get married then?"
