These words were a clear hint to Ye Yun.
Ye Yun understood, but pretended not to, nodding thoughtfully.
"I understand, then I really need to thank her properly."
Ye Yun let out a long sigh of relief, feeling fortunate to have learned about this.
Otherwise, carrying such a great debt without knowing it, and still acting like a fool, would have been unfair to her.
Hearing this, Qian Qingning felt helpless, seeming to realize Ye Yun was feigning ignorance.
There was nothing she could do but sigh.
"Well, even if you don't like her, I still hope you'll be especially kind to her in the future."
"Don't worry, I will repay this kindness sooner or later!"
Ye Yun said with great certainty.
This time, he truly owed the other person a life.
Thus, he began to ponder how best to repay her...
While he was thinking, he soon noticed Qian Qingning staring intently at him.
Ye Yun asked curiously, "What's wrong, is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing."
Qian Qingning smiled faintly and said frankly.
"I was just thinking about how to deepen our relationship."
In her view, Ye Yun, with his unparalleled talent and numerous high-tier divine artifacts,
If he could be won over and become one of their own, the future Lingluo Domain would surely soar.
However, the problem was that this fellow seemed impervious to all attempts, and even seduction appeared to have no effect.
Hearing this, Ye Yun couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Lord Qian Xing, there's no need to overthink this. I will always remember the kindness of the Lingluo Domain!"
It wasn't just Qian Qingning who had given him the key to breaking through to the Heavenly God level, but also the subsequent journey to the secret realm and Qian Ling's great kindness.
Ye Yun had always believed in repaying a drop of kindness with a gushing spring. If anything good were to happen, he certainly wouldn't leave the Lingluo Domain out.
Seeing his resolve, Qian Qingning's face broke into a smile.
"Yes, and so will our Lingluo Domain. If you ever need anything in the future, you can just ask!"
She said confidently, "As long as it's within my and our Lingluo Domain's capabilities, any request can be fulfilled!"
Especially the last sentence, which carried a hint of temptation.
As if telling Ye Yun that even if he desired her, it wouldn't be a problem.
Then, she explicitly added another statement.
"And, if one day you fall for Qian Ling, you can tell me directly, and I will personally preside over your wedding!"
To her words, Ye Yun coughed and said.
"That... perhaps not."
"Alright, whatever you say."
Qian Qingning smiled faintly, not forcing the issue.
Seeing the conversation becoming a bit too informal, Ye Yun quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, let's talk about the Qianyuan Domain. After what happened, what was the Qianyuan Star Lord's reaction?"
"About that, I'm not entirely sure."
Qian Qingning shook her head, then smiled.
"But since you annihilated their people, they're probably enraged in the Qianyuan Domain right now."
"After all, losing so many Heavenly God and Star God level experts would shake the foundation of even the Qianyuan Domain."
Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded and chuckled.
"That's for the best. He probably never dreamed that his attempt to steal a chicken would result in losing the rice."
"Yes, and the Fengzhi Domain also suffered significant losses this time."
Then, Qian Qingning's gaze turned cold, and she took a deep breath.
"Those guys, we didn't intend to provoke them, but this time, they brought it upon themselves!"
Normally, the Fengzhi Domain was very far from them, and conflict was unlikely.
But this time, they had gone out of their way to create animosity.
Since that was the case, she naturally wouldn't let them off easily.
Ye Yun mused, "However, with such heavy losses for all of them this time, they might join forces to deal with us later."
After all, following this battle, both the Qianyuan Domain and the Fengzhi Domain, as individual planets, were now weaker than the Lingluo Domain.
Qian Qingning remained calm about this, stating directly.
"Who cares? We'll deal with them as they come. If they dare to join forces, I won't let them get away with it!"
"Lord Qian Xing certainly has courage."
Ye Yun couldn't help but smile.
Qian Qingning did not modestly reply. "Naturally. If one is timid and fearful, one cannot survive in this Great Thousand World."
With that, she remembered something.
"Oh right, I almost forgot to give you these."
Qian Qingning quickly raised her hand and offered Ye Yun a spatial ring.
Seeing the ring, Ye Yun was a bit puzzled.
"This is..."
"Inside are the heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and divine artifacts from the spatial rings of those people you dealt with last time."
Qian Qingning explained with a smile, "Of course, it also includes all the good things they obtained in that secret realm. It's all in here."
"You saved everyone, so these things rightfully belong to you."
Hearing this, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow and said.
"Actually, if it weren't for the help of Qian Ling and the others, I wouldn't have been able to successfully complete the energy accumulation. It's not solely my credit, is it?"
Although he liked treasures, he still had his principles.
However, Qian Qingning smiled charmingly.
"Yes, what you say has some truth to it. Let's consider it a thank-you gift from our Lingluo Domain to Lord Ye."
With that one sentence, the definition of these items was changed.
Hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and finally accepted.
"Alright then, thank you, Lord Qian Xing."
Qian Qingning smiled faintly, "No need to thank me. I hope they can serve their greatest purpose in your hands."
Indeed, these items would only serve their greatest purpose in his hands.
Ye Yun thought that with the treasures he would give his disciples later, and the more valuable items he would receive in return, it would be timely to reciprocate the Lingluo Domain's gesture.
This way, it would be a win-win situation.
Seeing him accept readily, Qian Qingning was quite pleased and then asked.
"Now that everything is resolved, what are your plans for the future?"
"My future plans..."
Ye Yun pondered for a moment, and the image of his wife Xing Wu flashed in his mind.
Suddenly, he snapped back to attention and said, "If possible, I'd like to return to the Heavenly Domain early for a visit."
After all, it was his first time traveling so far. Although his home was protected by formations, he wouldn't feel completely at ease without seeing it for himself.
Hearing this, Qian Qingning readily agreed.
"No problem. I'll arrange for someone to escort you back to the Heavenly Domain afterwards!"
