Wang Yi rarely showed a hint of embarrassment, rubbed his nose, and smiled, "Well, Sister Ziyue, I will bid farewell to your father shortly. Tonight, I will spend the night outside Sunset Town, three hundred miles from the Ji Family. If you still wish to offer yourself to me, feel free to sneak into my room at midnight like last night, share the bed, and enjoy the pleasures of a couple."
Ji Ziyue recalled what happened last night, her face flushed with embarrassment. She gave him a glare and said, "Dream on! If you dare to leak even a word about last night, I will make sure you regret it. I'm leaving now; just hope you don't go back on your word, you shameless lecher!"
With that, Ji Ziyue opened the door and hurried away, her back showing signs of fleeing in haste.
Wang Yi watched Ji Ziyue's graceful figure disappear with a smile, his expression gradually calming down as he murmured to himself, "Maternal and Paternal Withering Qi, could it be that such a treasure truly exists in this world?"
A moment later, after a quick wash-up, Wang Yi went to bid farewell to Ji Yongtai. Ji Yongtai warmly urged Wang Yi to stay a few more days since one of the Five Great Families, the Li Family, would come tomorrow to propose marriage. At that moment, Wang Yi suddenly realized why Ji Ziyue was willing to sacrifice her reputation and sneak into his bed at midnight; it turned out she was in a desperate situation with time running out.
Wang Yi couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He thought about the Li Family; their daughter hadn't even entered their household yet and almost ended up being unfaithful to them.
Wang Yi then found an excuse to decline, saying he had urgent matters to attend to and needed to leave immediately. He promised to visit again another day to apologize. Ji Yongtai understood Wang Yi's special status and numerous secrets, so he didn't insist on keeping him longer. With a smile, he personally escorted Wang Yi out of the family gate, causing most of the Ji Family's younger members to envy him greatly and wonder who this person was. Even if he was powerful, it seemed unusual for their clan leader to personally see him off.
After leaving the Ji Family, Wang Yi didn't rush straight to Sunset Town three hundred miles away. Instead, he first found a secluded forest nearby and quietly sat down to meditate.
His battle against the elders of the Ji Family had not been without benefits for Wang Yi. Especially during his three exchanges with that elder from the Void Realm, he gained quite a lot.
Although there was a significant gap in realms and strength between them—Wang Yi had jumped two levels for direct combat—if it weren't for the cooperation of Spirit Fire, even ten Wang Yis would have been killed.
Wang Yi secretly communicated with Spirit Fire and noticed that its flames had changed somewhat; however, the brilliance of the flames had condensed significantly and strengthened its bond with Wang Yi.
Wang Yi felt overjoyed. If he could have more such level-jumping challenges, he believed not only would his cultivation deepen gradually but also that Spirit Fire could potentially undergo transformation into a higher level.
It was rumored that once Spirit Fire transformed into its highest level, it could merge with its master and autonomously condense into a true spiritual body indistinguishable from living beings, helping its master achieve even greater things.
Life-and-death battles always led to rapid growth. Although Wang Yi was only at the mid-stage of Gaze of the Abyss now, he could contend with experts from the Transcendent Realm based on his own cultivation. If one day he could break through to Transcendent Realm himself, he believed that no one among the Four Cities and Five Families in Zhongzhou would be able to restrain him.
However, the path of cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight. Wang Yi still had quite a distance to go before reaching the late stage of Gaze of the Abyss. He wasn't anxious; he believed that as long as he didn't slack off and focused on cultivating diligently, he would surely break through in due time.
At present, the most pressing matter was finding a way back to his family and awakening his Qilin Bloodline. If he could successfully awaken this bloodline ability, Wang Yi knew it would greatly benefit his future cultivation journey.
How could he return to the Wang Family and awaken his Qilin Bloodline?
Wang Yi pondered for a long time but still couldn't come up with a solid plan. He didn't have deep feelings or sense of belonging towards the Wang Family; after all, he had been abandoned by his father Wang Cheng and had long grown accustomed to life outside in freedom. Even if Wang Cheng were willing to step down from his position as head of the family and let Wang Yi take over, Wang Yi would have no interest in it at all.
Wang Yi is the kind of person who refuses to be bound by any constraints. He is determined to become a top-tier powerhouse, so that one day he can soar freely and roam the vast seas without restrictions.
Wang Yi practiced diligently until late at night before setting off towards Sunset Town, which is three hundred miles away.
Wang Yi gathered his true essence and flew at incredible speed, creating a fierce whirlwind in his wake.
In less than a moment, Wang Yi arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Town. Suddenly, he heard shouts and the clashing of weapons coming from within the town; it turned out that a fight was taking place.
Wang Yi was puzzled. He knew that Sunset Town was known for its gentle and simple folk. If there were people fighting there, they were likely outsiders.
He concealed his aura, making himself seem like an ordinary person, and cautiously approached the source of the commotion.
All the inns and shops in Sunset Town had tightly shut their doors, fearing they would be caught up in the conflict. As he got closer, he noticed a slender figure surrounded by a group of elegantly dressed men. The graceful woman wielded a set of green swords, their blades ignited with green flames that radiated intense heat. She moved gracefully, her swords dancing like Sword Flowers. Unfortunately, the men surrounding her were all above the Gaze of the Abyss level, treating her like a cat playing with a mouse. They neither attacked nor retreated but laughed and mocked her, causing her to tremble with anger.
At first glance, Wang Yi found the woman’s figure somewhat familiar. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was Ji Ziyue, the eldest daughter of the Ji Family.
After agreeing to meet with Wang Yi, Ji Ziyue had spent the entire day in turmoil. Having left the Ji Family to escape an arranged marriage, she was uncertain when she would return to her family. Naturally, she felt distressed. However, she did not want to marry that spoiled son from the Li Family. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She worried that if Wang Yi grew impatient waiting for her in Sunset Town and left on his own, she would lose her only support and would surely be captured by her family.
Feeling extremely restless, she found an excuse around noon to leave the Ji Family and came to Sunset Town. After searching for a while without finding any trace of Wang Yi, her anxiety deepened as she feared that despicable man had deceived her and left without her. Yet she held onto some hope because Wang Yi had promised to meet her at night.
After wandering around Sunset Town for several hours and finally waiting until dark, Ji Ziyue stood nervously at the town's entrance, waiting for Wang Yi's arrival. However, instead of him, she encountered a delegation from her future in-laws—the Li Family from the Five Great Families—who had come to formally propose marriage to the Ji Family.
Indeed, fate can be cruel.
The proposal party consisted of about thirty people—few in number but all above the Gaze of the Abyss level. Among them were ten individuals at the Transcendent Realm level and three elderly men whose piercing gazes exuded an aura as powerful as dragons; they were Void Realm experts.
In Zhongzhou, those at the Void Realm level are formidable figures. In prestigious families like the Ji Family, there are only a handful of elders with Void Realm cultivation. It was surprising that just one proposal party from the Li Family included three Void Realm masters; this indicated that the Li Family was indeed stronger than the Ji Family.
In fact, among the Five Great Families in Zhongzhou, it appeared that the Li Family held a leading position in overall strength. Under the management of their head Li Ruozhen over recent years, they had flourished with many powerful individuals emerging from their ranks, subtly overshadowing the other four families.
Leading this proposal party was a young man who was Li Ruozhen's third child—Li Mingqian. He had an oily appearance with chubby cheeks and large ears; his eyes darted around restlessly, clearly embodying a spoiled rich kid's demeanor.
Despite his unappealing looks and cunning nature, he possessed considerable strength for his age; he had reached late-stage Transcendent Realm cultivation. One could only wonder how much investment his father had made to cultivate him into such a Transcendent Realm expert.
Li Mingqian has an older sister and an older brother. According to his brother, he encountered a remarkable master who greatly appreciated him and took him as a disciple, leading him to travel outside for cultivation. The head of the Li Family traditionally passes the title to males rather than females, so Li Mingqian was rightfully established as the Young Master of the Li Family.
Li Mingqian is naturally flirtatious and enjoys causing trouble. Because Li Ruozhen is separated from his eldest son, he dotes on his second son even more. No matter how much chaos Li Mingqian causes outside, it is ultimately suppressed by Li Ruozhen's strong measures, which makes Li Mingqian feel invincible and act recklessly.
One day, Ji Ziyue arrived early in Sunset Town to wait for Wang Yi and happened to encounter a marriage proposal procession led by Li Mingqian passing through Sunset Town, stopping for the night. Li Mingqian saw a graceful woman anxiously pacing under the town's archway from a distance, seemingly waiting for someone.
Li Mingqian felt an immediate attraction and focused his gaze. Hey, isn't this his future bride?
Before coming here, he had seen Ji Ziyue's portrait—tall and elegant, captivatingly beautiful. He was astonished to find that in person, Ji Ziyue was ten times more beautiful than in the painting, with fragrant skin and a face like a lotus flower, her eyes sparkling with charm. He nearly drooled at the sight.
It was unfortunate for Ji Ziyue; after waiting all afternoon without seeing the main person she expected, she instead encountered this nuisance. Upon seeing the distinctive attire of the procession, she recognized them as members of the Li Family. Realizing the situation was dire and feeling panicked, she wanted to slip away immediately but was caught by Li Mingqian's keen eyes. In a few quick leaps, he reached her in front.
Li Mingqian grinned widely and spread his arms to block Ji Ziyue's path, saying, "Hey there, dear Yueyue! Are you wandering here waiting for your future husband—me?"
Ji Ziyue had heard of Li Mingqian's lewd reputation; seeing him in person confirmed her worst fears about his frivolity. She had not yet officially entered the Li Family but was already being addressed as his wife by this scoundrel.
"Get lost! I haven't even crossed the threshold of your Li Family yet! Clean up your mouth; I have nothing to do with your family at all. Move aside; good dogs don't block the way!" Ji Ziyue frowned lightly and shouted.
"Don't be like that, my lady! Our engagement was agreed upon by your grandfather and my grandfather back in their day; you can't run away from it. Besides, I am handsome and charming while you are stunningly beautiful—like a rare flower among flowers. We are simply meant for each other! No one else could match your beauty besides me." Li Mingqian said cheerfully without taking offense.
