Summer looked at Yi Xiaoyin with a rather odd expression.

Yi Xiaoyin, however, stared back at Summer without flinching. After saying what she just did, she found herself even calmer. It seemed as though in that very moment, her mindset had undergone a complete transformation.

"Wife Yi Yi, is this all you want to say" Summer finally spoke up.

"That's correct," Yi Xiaoyin said coldly, "I don't wish to continue pretending with you. I can even tell you that my hatred for you hasn't diminished at all; if I had the power, I would strike you down anytime."

After a brief pause, she added: "You also needn't waste any more time here. Whatever you do won't be effective. It'd be best if you leave my residence or choose to relive that night's events once again."

"Wife Yi Yi, I still have to protect you; how can we part ways" Summer said lazily.

"So you're opting for another approach then" There was a hint of derision in Yi Xiaoyin's tone.

"Of course not," Summer said seriously. "Wife Yi Yi, how can such an event only happen once again You are my wife; we will do this countless times in the future."

If this were in the past, upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Yi Xiaoyin would definitely be furious. But this time, she surprisingly didn't get angry; instead, she looked at Xia Tian unusually calmly and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll wait for you tonight."

After saying these words, Yi Xiaoyin stood up and walked into her room without hurry.

Seeing Yi Xiaoyin disappear from his sight, Xia Tian couldn’t help but murmur to himself, "Should I really go in tonight"

The next day.

In a mountain near the outskirts of Jing City, Nan Gong Yan was still sitting cross-legged on the ground. Consuming a yuan嬰 (spirit embryo) wasn't an easy task; she couldn’t completely refine it even after an entire night.

Now, despite her face not being pretty at all, she unconsciously revealed a look of excitement because she would soon complete her goal—she could finish refining Guan Jianxiong’s yuan嬰 in no time.

An hour passed without her realizing it.

The last bit of Guan Jianxiong's yuan嬰 finally turned into a powerful aura, swiftly circulating through the meridians. But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

South Palace Yan suddenly heard a faint explosion sound coming from deep within her body; more accurately, it seemed to occur simultaneously with the moment of complete refinement of the yuan嬰. And along with that sound, South Palace Yan suddenly felt an additional surge of true energy within her body.

This true energy was extremely fine and delicate, like ordinary true energy that had been refined countless times.

In the beginning, Nangong Yan felt delighted when this true energy appeared. However, in the next second, she realized that it was a nightmare for her because not only could she not control it at all, but it also rushed and destroyed recklessly within her meridians!

"Guan Jianxiong, you actually deceived me!" Nangong Yan was extremely furious. She never expected that Guan Jianxiong would deceive her even after death by doing something to his fetus in the womb!

Despite how angry she felt, it did not help. Guan Jianxiong had already died and his fetus in the womb had been refined as well; thus, there was no way for her to take revenge. The only thing she could do now was to immediately use energy exercises to eliminate this strange true energy.

However, although this true energy looked fine, it was incredibly powerful. Nangong Yan found it difficult to immediately expel the true energy, and even more shocking was that not only did it destroy her meridians but seemed to also be consuming her true energy!

The true energy she gained from refining the fetus in the womb was being rapidly consumed by this strange true energy. Nangong Yan could not help but panic as she immediately exerted all her strength, resisting and forcing out this strange true energy.

After another half an hour, Nangong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although this strange true energy was odd, it was ultimately fine and had been completely expelled by her in the end. However, she suffered quite a loss, as half the power gained from refining the fetus in the womb had been consumed.

But then, in the next second, Nangong Yan discovered that she relaxed too soon because at this moment, she suddenly felt another powerful force rapidly destroying her body functions!

"This is… poison" Nangong Yan hurriedly used energy exercises to examine it and was abruptly enraged. "Summer, I will definitely peel your skin off and rip out your tendons!"

This time, Nan Gong Yan finally understood that it wasn't Guan Jianxiong's last-minute counterattack but Xia Tian who had rigged things. Guan Jianxiong never used poison; the one capable of using poison was Xia Tian!

Nan Gong Yan now realized why Xia Tian hadn't stopped her from leaving because he knew all along that she would devour Guan Jianxiong's essence fetus, and he had already rigged something within Guan Jianxiong’s essence fetus!

Actually, it wasn’t surprising that Nan Gong Yan couldn’t think of this. Even on the Immortal Cloud Continent, very few people could have guessed that someone would tamper with an essence fetus in such a bizarre manner.

Irene Pavilion

Yi Xiaoyin slept until nine o'clock and only then got up lazily from her bed. In her memory, she hadn’t had such sound sleep for many years.

"Miss, are you okay" A voice full of concern came from beside her; Jiu looked worriedly at Yi Xiaoyin.

Jiu's worry wasn't unfounded because in her opinion, Miss had behaved extremely abnormally since last night. In the past, Miss usually stayed up late and got up early, often waking up in fright from nightmares during the night. Since that nightmare-ridden night passed, it seemed like Miss hadn’t had a good sleep ever again; no, even earlier, when Miss began vying for the position of headmaster at the School of Yin Medicine, she hardly slept well.

But last night, Miss actually went to bed early and slept very soundly. She continued sleeping until now before getting up, which was just too abnormal.

What worried Jiu even more was that she knew Miss's strange behavior was due to talking with the rascal Xia Tian last night. Unfortunately, she didn't know what they had talked about; all she could do was worry if Miss wouldn’t break down completely and submit to that rascal

"Ah Ji, I'm fine." Yi Xiaoyin gently shook her head and then walked out of the room.

In the courtyard, Yi Xiaoyin exhaled a breath of stale air. Then she quickly glanced around the yard before her gaze finally settled on the pavilion where the figure who used to make her hate him sat in the center, seemingly lost in thought.

But when she looked at him now, Yi Xiaoyin realized that she didn't feel as much hatred towards him anymore. It wasn't because she had forgotten all he had done to her; rather, it was because she could now truly face everything calmly and peacefully. When her heart truly quieted down, the resentment naturally became less intense.

After a brief hesitation, Yi Xiaoyin walked toward the pavilion.

"Yi wife, good morning!" The summer heat still lingering, Xia Tian immediately felt someone approaching him and then lifted his head to greet Yi Xiaoyin with a smile.

"You should leave here." Yi Xiaoyin looked at Xia Tian and said in a calm tone.

"Yi wife, why do I need to leave" Xia Tian was somewhat puzzled as he looked back at Yi Xiaoyin.

"I gave you a choice last night," Yi Xiaoyin's tone remained placid. "Since you didn't enter, it means that you chose the other option, which is to leave."

"Oh, you mean that one" Xia Tian chuckled. "Yi wife, don't you know there are still many choices for me"

"I only give you two options," Yi Xiaoyin remained calm.

"Mm, Ii wife, it seems that you still haven't understood one thing," Xia Tian finally turned serious.

"What is it" Yi Xiaoyin frowned slightly.

"Ii wife, how many options there are isn’t decided by you or anyone else; it’s my decision. I believe in however many options there are and choose what I want to choose. In fact, even if I can change my choice anytime, like last night when I didn't go in but that doesn't mean I won't tonight, for example, though you gave me only two options, I don’t have to pick any because I still have other choices," Xia Tian was actually quite patient in educating this wife of his. "Ii wife, ultimately, what you need to understand is that your decisions are useless to me unless they align with mine."

"Your decision is also useless for me." Yi Xiaoyin remained calm; however, she understood something: the words she had spoken last night were in vain as far as Xia Tian was concerned. But it wasn’t a complete waste of time for her because after saying those words, her mindset had completely changed. Therefore, when she heard his answer now, she didn't get angry like she would have before.

After Yi Xiaoyin finished speaking and turned to leave, Xia Tian made no move to stop her; this disobedient wife indeed needed more education, but he wasn’t in a rush. At the moment, what was most important for him wasn’t educating his wife but protecting her.

Xia Tian didn't worry about Yi Xiaoyin running away as she already belonged to him and would always belong to him. The only thing he still worried about were those from the Vast Ethereal Immortal Gate, so getting rid of all their enemies was currently the most important task for him.

"It's almost over, but I don't know where the last group is," Xia Tian murmured as the disciples of the Vast Ethereal Immortal Gate in the capital were almost all dead.

At that moment, he suddenly felt something and turned his head to look at a space not far away. "Wife Meier, did you deal with that idiot"ei hadn't been bullied much over the past twenty years and still remained powerful in this world, the sharp decline in her strength had continuously tormented her. Now that she had recovered to even s...
