Chapter 45 - Wedding Day, Dagger Revealed
【Inside the Earth Fiend Sect.】
【You meet Ruan Lianyue again.】
【At this moment, she forced a faint smile.】
【She asked if your promise to marry her still stands after all these years.】
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
Ruan Lianyue’s acting can only be described as clumsy.
The sense of detachment in her eyes remains.
But Ye Yu was curious why Ruan Lianyue suddenly did this.
【You keenly perceive Ruan Lianyue’s abnormal behavior.】
【But you still say, of course, the promise stands.】
【Ruan Lianyue tells you that if you want to marry her, you need a spiritual artifact as a betrothal gift.】
【As long as you can give it away, she’s willing to marry you tonight.】
【You grow even more puzzled.】
【But without hesitation, you take out a short sword from your storage ring. This is a top-grade spiritual artifact named “Forget Sorrow.”】
【You obtained it by chance in a secret realm, intended for Ruan Lianyue in the first place.】
【Now that she asks for it, you gave it to her in advance.】
【Ruan Lianyue accepts Forget Sorrow and informs you that you can marry her tonight.】
【You smile faintly.】
【You immediately inform the Vice Sect Master Ze Tian to arrange the wedding.】
【You went along with this to see what Ruan Lianyue was really planning.】
【Knowing you’re getting married, everyone in the Earth Fiend Sect immediately got busy, preparing for the wedding ceremony.】
【Vice Sect Master Ze Tian even rushed back earlier with an artifact of a wedding dress from outside as a congratulatory gift.】
【Night falls.】
【When you see Ruan Lianyue standing before you in bridal attire, you can’t help but be slightly distracted.】
【Ruan Lianyue is truly beautiful, so beautiful.】
【If only time could freeze at this moment, how wonderful it would be.】
【That night, you drank quite a bit of wine.】
【You returned to your room very late.】
【As you pushed open the door, you could clearly feel Ruan Lianyue tremble all over.】
【This slight movement indicated her nervousness.】
【You walk over and sit beside Ruan Lianyue.】
【Suddenly, you smell a strange fragrance.】
【You know it’s the scent of Drunken Immortal Incense. Inhaling it will paralyze your entire body, making it impossible to mobilize spiritual energy.】
【Undoubtedly, it’s from Ruan Lianyue’s hand.】
【You smile and ask, what are you trying to do with this?】
【Ruan Lianyue takes out Forget Sorrow, her right hand trembling as she aims it at your chest.】
【Hoarsely, she says: I hate you. Why did everyone I know die because of you?】
【The Master and fellow Daoists of Wind Thunder Temple, my dear friend Li Yao, all of them.】
【Even my beloved Master Liang Yu was killed by you.】
【You’re a demon.】
【You deserve to die.】
Seeing this, Ye Yu instantly understood everything.
This silly girl, Ruan Lianyue, wants to use the pretext of a fake marriage to knock him out with Drunken Immortal Incense, and then kill him?
Such a plan is really crude.
But oddly enough, it might be for the best.
Rather than dying under the heavenly tribulation, it’s better to die at Ruan Lianyue’s hands.
【You show a smirk.】
【But suddenly, you’re curious why Ruan Lianyue said even Liang Yu was killed by you?】
【Wasn’t she alive and well?】
【Forget it, you can’t be bothered to explain.】
【You stand up straight, step by step towards Ruan Lianyue.】
【Seeing this, Ruan Lianyue’s face instantly turned pale. She can’t understand how you can still move.】
【You tell Ruan Lianyue, next time you face a Tribulation Crossing realm cultivator, don’t ever use Drunken Immortal Incense.】
【That thing is utterly useless against Tribulation Crossing cultivators!】
【Then, you suddenly step forward, letting the Forget Sorrow pierce through your heart.】
【Watching the blood flow out, Ruan Lianyue panicked instantly, shaking all over.】
【On the verge of death, you took out the Dragon Crystal and put it in Ruan Lingyue’s hand, whispering softly.】
【Those spirit fruits from back then were really sweet. Can you give me one more?】
The next moment, the dream scene in his mind instantly shattered.
Ye Yu woke up from the dream.
【This dream experience concludes.】
【Died at the age of 877.】
【Dream evaluation: Perfect-】
【Randomly gained two dream life abilities.】
【1. At the age of 83, cultivation reached the late stage of Golden Core realm.】
【2. Top-grade spiritual artifact, soul summoning banner – Slaughter Immortal. (Current souls: 0!)】
【Dream evaluation reaching Excellent+ or above allows random manifestation of two items.】
【1. Dragon Crystal.】
【2. Top-grade spiritual artifact, Forget Sorrow, the short sword.】
Listening to the system’s voice, Ye Yu’s heart raced slightly.
This dream simulation evaluation actually reached a Perfect- level.
It’s really awesome.
But this should be nearing the limit.
After all, the talents obtained in this dream session are exceptionally good.
However, the karma from killing is too heavy, preventing him from transcending tribulation.
If not for that, once he ascended to the Ascension Realm, the dream evaluation could very likely reach a Perfect level.
But even so, this outcome is still very good.
Ye Yu felt the changes in his cultivation to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.
Meanwhile, he took out his storage ring and began to examine it.
The soul banner Slaughter Immortal quietly lay inside.
This dream simulation session was greatly assisted by this thing, it exerted tremendous power.
If not for the existence of this treasure, he probably wouldn’t have survived to the Tribulation Crossing realm.
With the Slaughter Immortal banner waving, myriad ghosts assail.
What a heroic and spirited scene!
And most importantly, the Slaughter Immortal banner is an upgradable spiritual artifact. If not for suppressing it diligently, it might have ascended to the ranks of immortal artifacts.
Of course, the precondition is not fearing too strong a karmic debt, which could attract heavenly tribulation.
But there’s no denying the killing power of this spiritual artifact. With it around, Ye Yu felt quite at ease.
However, the smile on his face didn’t last long.
Because Ye Yu suddenly remembered his identity.
He is a member of the Azure Cloud Sect, one of the Five Great Sacred Lands on the Central Continent.
A bona fide orthodox sect.
How could he possibly have a reason to use something like a soul summoning banner?
How hateful.
Looks like I can only secretly use it behind the scenes.
But that’s okay.
If I can’t use the soul summoning banner, then the spiritual artifact Forget Sorrow should suffice, right?
Huh.
Where are Forget Sorrow and the Dragon Crystal? Why can’t I find them?
Ye Yu searched through his storage ring, but couldn’t find either of these items.
So he asked the system in his mind, “Where are the top-grade spiritual weapon Forget Sorrow and the precious Dragon Crystal?”
【Reporting to the host, these two items were manifested, but it doesn’t mean they will definitely appear in your possession.】
The system’s answer made Ye Yu collapse on the spot.
Should it be said or not? It was like a slap in the face, eye-opening.
Could such words really be said?
Really shameless!
Meanwhile, the dream continued.
【Ruan Lianyue looked at Ye Yu’s gradually chilling corpse.】
【Stunned and absent-minded.】
【She truly couldn’t understand, if Ye Yu wasn’t affected by the Drunken Immortal Incense, why did he charge up to his death like that?】
【What was the purpose of his actions?】
【And at this moment, above the Earth Fiend Sect, came the laughter of Liang Yu:】
【You, Ye Yu, are not thoughtful enough. You got married without even informing me.】
