"Girl, I’ve got something to tell you."

After battle after battle, Ye Chen was still full of vigor and energy. Hugging Hua Qianxue with great satisfaction, he spoke softly.

"I also have something to tell you," Qian Xue said.

Ye Chen: "Then you go first."

"Tell me everything that happened after you left the Great Zhou Dynasty, from beginning to end. I want to know!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Back then, in Yellow Sand City, you killed a legend of the Great Qin Dynasty to see me off. After that, I went to the True Martial Hall.

......"

After listening, Qian Xue said, "And then?"

"That’s the end."

Qian Xue: "I don’t believe you."

According to Ye Chen’s story, after he went to the True Martial Hall, he either crushed idiots or slaughtered foreign races. Everything went smoothly and he never ran into any trouble.

Is that possible?

Behind every single event, Qian Xue simply couldn’t imagine just how dangerous it really had been.

Ye Chen said, "Girl, I’m a famous figure in the Eastern Region now. My word is law, and I never lie."

Qian Xue lightly pursed her red lips and said, "Fine, I’ll believe you. But you have to promise me that from now on, just like before, if there are enemies you kill the enemies, and you can’t allow even the slightest accident to happen!"

At this point, Qian Xue suddenly changed the subject and said, "You left out one thing."

Ye Chen: "What?"

"I remember you said you were going to the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom to settle accounts with the Moon God. So when you went back to the Great Zhou Dynasty, you didn’t go to the Divine Moon Ancient Kingdom?"

Ye Chen: "..."

Women, such terrifying powers of observation.

"I went. I stabbed the Moon God with the sword thousands and tens of thousands of times. I just forgot to mention it."

Qian Xue stared at Ye Chen, half believing, half doubting.

Ye Chen: "My turn."

"Go on."

Ye Chen: "Your mother said we should put in some effort. She wants to carry her grandchild!"

......

Flower God Sect.

After the great chaos, Sect Leader Qin Rhyme finally showed her strong wrist, swiftly suppressing the remaining minor problems.

But it had already been almost a month since Ye Chen entered the Other Shore Flower Valley, and he still hadn’t come out.

Zhong Wen, Lin Jin, Zou Dao, and Feng Kuang were still waiting in the Flower God Sect.

If Zhong Wen and the others hadn’t stopped him, Feng Kuang would have long since rushed in to look for him.

On this day.

Qin Rhyme brought several Elders of the Flower God Sect, along with Zhong Wen and the other three, to the entrance of the Other Shore Flower Valley.

"Everyone, Qian Xue is my disciple, and the troubles of our Flower God Sect were also resolved thanks to Ye Chen. Now that the Flower God Sect has stabilized, I’ll go in and look for Ye Chen and Qian Xue."

"Sect Leader, you must not!" an Elder of the Flower God Sect said.

Zhong Wen also said, "There’s no need. The Flower God Sect cannot do without you, and the overall situation in the Eastern Region also needs Sect Leader Qin. Let’s wait a bit longer."

Qin Rhyme said, "I’ve decided to give it a try. As long as I don’t go in too deep, I should be able to come back out. I’m confident in that much."

......

Inside the Other Shore Flower Valley.

Ye Chen and Qian Xue had already come out from within the abyss.

The reason they hadn’t left was because Qian Xue needed to stay here to refine the Other Shore Divine Flower.

If they left the Other Shore Flower Valley, the speed at which she refined the Other Shore Divine Flower would drop drastically.

As for the Ten Thousand Flowers Treasure Manual and the Other Shore Sword Technique, Ye Chen had already given both to Qian Xue.

These past few days, while Qian Xue cultivated, Ye Chen cultivated at her side as well.

After they finished cultivating, they did whatever needed doing.

Body and mind both extremely relaxed, they temporarily tossed aside all pressure. Moreover, in the Ten Thousand Flowers Treasure Manual that Ye Chen gave Qian Xue, there was also a Dual Cultivation Secret Technique.

The progress of the two could be described as extremely fast.

Each of Ye Chen’s Ten Great Grotto Heavens had doubled in size, and he successfully stepped into the Heaven-Reaching Realm Second Layer.

His main Grotto Heaven was even larger than other people’s at the Heaven-Reaching Realm Third Layer!

Other than that, Ye Chen had also condensed Pocket World True Intent in his main Grotto Heaven! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Just as he had envisioned before, the Pocket World True Intent of his main Grotto Heaven was centered on his own Sword Dao, and took the form of an Invincible Sword Qi!

At this moment.

Ye Chen, who had been cultivating, suddenly stopped and looked into the distance.

Brilliant divine radiance appeared on Qian Xue’s body.

Qian Xue, whose bearing had already been outstanding, now, under the shroud of this splendid divine light, exuded a beauty that took one’s breath away.

"Buzz!"

Immediately after, above Qian Xue’s body, a powerful fluctuation of force emerged.

An Other Shore Divine Flower Dharma Aspect successfully condensed.

Originally, Qian Xue was already in the Heaven-Reaching Realm. After refining the Other Shore Divine Flower, she directly took the Other Shore Divine Flower as her Dharma Aspect.

Within the Other Shore Flower Valley, the Other Shore Divine Flower could mobilize all the surrounding power.

It could be said that even if Qian Xue encountered an Emperor Realm Powerhouse, as long as they entered the Other Shore Flower Valley, even if she could not defeat them, she could still remain invincible!

Even outside, with her bloodline constitution combined with the Other Shore Divine Flower Dharma Aspect, plus the Sacred Artifact Green Lotus that Ye Chen obtained after killing the Night Charm Demon, she would likewise not fear an ordinary Saint Realm expert!

Ye Chen’s figure flashed through the air and landed beside Hua Qianxue, smiling as he said, "Your physique has leveled up too?"

Hua Qianxue nodded and said, "I directly skipped over the Second-Grade Hundred Flowers Celestial Body. I should be a First-Grade Hundred Flowers Dao Body now!"

Being able to gain this harvest was within Ye Chen’s expectations.

After all, right now she had both the Ten Thousand Flowers Treasure Manual and the Other Shore Divine Flower boosting her at the same time!

Ye Chen said, "We should head out as well."

"Mm."

Hua Qianxue nodded.

The next moment.

A vast surge of power erupted with a boom and slammed down onto Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s body crashed to the ground with a bang.

"Girl, you—"

Hua Qianxue’s expression was icy as she walked up to Ye Chen and said, "Today, I’m going on top!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Was that really necessary?

Couldn’t you just say so!

Did you have to mobilize the power of the Other Shore Flower Valley... such a pointless extra step.

......

Qin Rhyme, who had entered the Other Shore Flower Valley, wore a look of deep astonishment.

According to the Flower God Sect’s records, inside the Other Shore Flower Valley there existed a power that could cause even an Emperor Realm Powerhouse to lose their way.

Yet after she came in, she did indeed sense that power, but it was extremely thin, totally unable to affect an Emperor Realm Powerhouse’s perception.

Therefore.

Qin Rhyme directly went deeper into the Other Shore Flower Valley.

"What happened inside the Other Shore Flower Valley?"

"If it stays like this, there might really be hope of finding Qian Xue and Ye Chen."

"But... the Night Charm Demon is also in the Other Shore Flower Valley. Nothing better have happened to them..."

Qin Rhyme couldn’t help but speed up.

Suddenly.

Two rather strange sounds rang out and entered Qin Rhyme’s ears.

"Ye Chen and Qian Xue!"

Qin Rhyme’s heart leapt with excitement, and she exploded to her top speed, rushing toward the direction the sounds came from.

"Girl... hurry up and dispel the power suppressing me!" Ye Chen shouted anxiously.

A smug, playful smile appeared at the corner of Hua Qianxue’s lips as she said, "That’s what you get for using the Heaven and Earth Holy Body just now!"

Ye Chen: "Girl, hurry up, your master is here!"

"Master?" Hua Qianxue said, "If you lie to me again, I’ll leave you lying here like this."

Ye Chen said awkwardly, "How about... you turn around and take a look."

Hua Qianxue turned around.

The scene instantly plunged into peak-level awkwardness!

......

On the way out of the Other Shore Flower Valley.

Qin Rhyme was silent.

Hua Qianxue was silent.

Ye Chen was also silent.

"Master."

"Qian Xue."

"Sect Leader Qin."

When they were almost at the exit of the Other Shore Flower Valley, the three of them spoke at practically the same time.

The atmosphere once again fell into awkwardness.

Qin Rhyme took a deep breath and said, "Ye Chen, you talk!"

Ye Chen said, "Sect Leader Qin, this girl’s parents have already agreed to our matter. I’ve even delivered the betrothal gifts."

Hua Qianxue grabbed Ye Chen’s arm and pulled him back as she said, "Master, the Night Charm Demon is dead. It was Ye Chen who picked the Other Shore Divine Flower, then borrowed the Other Shore Divine Flower to draw on the power of the Other Shore Flower Valley and killed the Night Charm Demon.

And I’ve already refined the Other Shore Divine Flower; it has become my Dharma Aspect."

Qin Rhyme did her best not to think about the scene she’d just witnessed. Fixing her gaze on Ye Chen, she said, "How did you find the Other Shore Divine Flower?"

Ye Chen said, "I mentioned before that I know a Swordsmanship that harmonizes with the power of the Other Shore Divine Flower."

"I thought you were just making something up on the spot to stall the Night Charm Demon. I didn’t expect it to be true." Qin Rhyme paused, then continued, "The Other Shore Divine Flower becoming Qian Xue’s Dharma Aspect is a good thing.

After I take you out later, I’ll head to East Desolate City to discuss the grand plan for the Eastern Region with Grand Hall Master Lingxiao. Ye Chen, you’re someone from the True Martial Hall—do you want to come with me?"

"Teacher, I’ll go with you!"

"You can’t. You’ve just refined the Other Shore Divine Flower. For a while, your strength will enter a period of rapid growth. You can’t waste this opportunity," Qin Rhyme said.

"Girl, you shouldn’t be in a rush to go anywhere else either. I’ll go back to Cangzhou and explain things clearly to your parents. Sect Leader Qin is right—you’re going to have a very fast improvement period soon. Don’t waste the chance."

After Ye Chen finished, he added, "Sect Leader Qin, I’m not going to East Desolate City. I have to return to Cangzhou."

Hua Qianxue’s safety was already no longer a concern.

It was time to go back to Cangzhou and settle the remaining problems over there!
