Li Yuan didn’t close his eyes, and casually said a mushy line: "I won’t close them, even if there’s a cliff ahead, I’m willing to step over it with you. Because as long as I’m with you, everything is blissful and sweet."

"Brother Mu..."

Zhenyan Xue was blushfully listening.

She stopped talking, suddenly took a step forward, and led Li Yuan towards the Ice Cliff.

But there was no sensation of falling, instead it was a feeling of solid ground.

The scenery changed; it was still snowing fiercely, but this was not the original place...

"It really is a Secret Realm..." Li Yuan marveled inwardly, cautiously scanning around. Fortunately, the guide beside him was his pillow mate, which at least minimized the danger. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Zhenyan Xue pulled him and hurried on.

They walked a little while longer, and in the vast darkness, a light suddenly appeared.

A faint light like a bean, yet striking amidst the snowstorm.

In the light, two enormous figures suddenly rushed forward.

Before the people arrived, a cold, exclusionary voice had already cut through the wind.

"Leave this place!"

"This is not where you should come!"

The giant shadows loomed above like devils, holding spears, looking down on the two who entered this bright boundary.

Suddenly, the person on the left seemed to notice something, frowning while staring at Zhenyan Xue.

Zhenyan Xue shouted: "Xiao Yong, it’s me, Zhenyan Xue!"

The person on the left was taken aback, then jumped down from the giant shadow and rushed in front of Zhenyan Xue, saying: "Ah Xue, it really is you, you’re back!!"

But then, he looked at the young man beside Zhenyan Xue, and upon noticing they were holding hands, he said in astonishment: "Ah Xue, you... you brought a man back from the outside?"

"Yes, he’s my man." Zhenyan Xue readily admitted, then clung to Li Yuan’s arm, striking an intimate pose.

Li Yuan began to have a headache.

Because he had anticipated situations like...

For example... there would be a man who grew up with his wife and always secretly loved her, that man would be jealous and hate him for taking Zhenyan Xue away, then he would want to fight or even quietly kill him.

Or... the Ice Race people would quickly take his wife away, separating them, and then punish his wife for going out without permission according to clan rules.

And also...

In short, there wouldn’t be any peace.

However, he was already prepared.

Yet, what Li Yuan worried about did not happen.

The man on the right, with a strange sense of humor, said: "Ah Xue, if you brought back some women, that would be great; men can’t bear children and can’t help our race grow."

Zhenyan Xue proudly said: "Zhenyan Heichi, my man is really capable, much more than you! If you don’t believe it, have a fight!"

Li Yuan: ???

He had imagined many triggers for conflict, envisaged the oppression from the Ice Race, but never considered his wife would provoke by saying, "If you don’t believe it, have a fight."

Zhenyan Heichi examined Li Yuan and asked: "Fight or not?"

Zhenyan Xue said: "Fight! Darling, flatten him!"

Li Yuan: ...

He remained silent for a moment, then earnestly advised: "Dear, isn’t this inappropriate? You left the clan without permission, and now that you’ve returned, you should take me to meet the Clan Leader and explain the reason... instead of coming back and starting a fight..."

Zhenyan Xue said: "Darling, how you suppress me usually is how you’ll suppress him today! In our place, only the strong are respected."

Zhenyan Heichi grinned, showing his not-quite-black teeth, and asked: "Dare or not?"

Li Yuan glanced at the "625~640" above the opponent’s head and said: "Come on."

Zhenyan Xue and Zhenyan Yong moved aside.

Then Zhenyan Yong tossed the spear in his hand to Li Yuan.

It was an ice spear with a dark blue ice spear tip.

Zhenyan Heichi chuckled, holding the spear as he charged forward.

Li Yuan reluctantly grabbed the spear and engaged him in battle.

Currently, he was in the Seventh Grade state, but in terms of sword skill or spear skill, at this Realm... he was a True God reigning supreme.
