CHAPTER 409: CHAPTER 409: YUN XI’S HEART IS MOVED! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

"Sister Yunxi, did you know, when Master proposed marriage, I actually thought she was proposing to Xiao Ye on my behalf, and I was so freaking happy at the time."

The white-haired maiden, Huangfu Xiangling, lay drunkenly sprawled across the table, constantly pouring out her woes.

Yunxi, being at a higher realm, had also drunk a lot but was only slightly tipsy, and she said, "You liked Xiao Ye?"

The white-haired maiden immediately confessed, thinking there was no point in hiding it, nodding, "Yup, I definitely liked Xiao Ye."

"Back then I even showed off to Xi’Er, but in the end—"

"Master was actually proposing for herself!"

"And after hearing me, Xi’Er convinced her daddy to propose, and she actually succeeded!"

"In the end, I was the clown."

Yunxi propped her fair chin with one hand, her cool, beautiful face slightly flushed, and she said in surprise, "Wow, I didn’t expect things to get this dramatic."

"Pfft!" She covered her mouth and giggled, a little tipsy, and said,

"When they got married, you even lifted the train of her dress."

The white-haired maiden grumbled, "Sister Yunxi, you lifted the train, too."

"!" Yunxi instantly choked on her words, the smile on her cool, pretty face freezing awkwardly, and she mumbled, "So what if I held it up for my bestie’s wedding?"

The white-haired maiden lay on the table, dissatisfied, and said, "Hmph, Sister Yunxi, your behavior already gave your feelings away."

Yunxi’s pupils shrank, *Shit, did I make my feelings that obvious? Even Huangfu Xiangling is noticing?*

"Gave what feelings away?" she asked.

The white-haired maiden snorted and said, "I can tell you’re jealous of my Master, jealous that she got married before you, am I right?"

"You guys are about the same age, same generation’s prodigies, but my Master just married first, found her love faster."

Yunxi’s mouth twitched, *Seriously, that’s it?*

*She thought the white-haired maiden had seen through her feelings for Xiao Ye.*

"Yeah, yeah, totally!" Yunxi echoed.

The white-haired maiden looked quite proud of herself, giggling, maybe from drinking too much, very dazed, just saying whatever came to mind, and said,

"Sister Yunxi, you will find your Mr. Right."

Yunxi asked in surprise, "But what about you? Are you just going to forget about Xiao Ye, and fall for someone else?"

Huangfu Xiangling gritted her teeth and said, "No, why would I forget him? There’s no way, not in this lifetime."

"Since Master married Xiao Ye, there’s no way I can marry him, but just because I don’t marry him doesn’t mean I can’t be with him."

"I’ll secretly make Xiao Ye mine, be his lover in secret, even if I don’t get a title."

Yunxi was stunned, her pretty eyes as wide as eggs, "That bold?"

Huangfu Xiangling grinned, "All for happiness, what’s wrong with being bold?"

Yunxi gave her a thumbs-up, "I respect your courage, but I really don’t recommend it. You’ll just end up hurting your Master."

*That’s exactly why she had never revealed a bit of her true feelings for Xiao Ye, all for Yun Bing, not wanting to break Yun Bing’s heart or cause rifts between the sisters.*

Huangfu Xiangling shook her head disdainfully, "So Master can do that and not care if she breaks my heart? It goes both ways, you know."

Yunxi’s mouth twitched.

*Anyway, she wasn’t going to mess with Yun Bing and Xiao Ye’s relationship, wasn’t about to step in and take someone else’s love.*

*But what the white-haired girl said did tempt her a little.*

On the other side.

After sending off Ziran’s parents, Nangong Siyao was showing off proudly.

"A husband as handsome and excellent as mine only exists in this world once."

"If Xiao Ye wasn’t for everyone, I’d lock him in a room myself, keep him with me every day, never let him see other women."

She still looked proud, but as she talked, the topic went off track.

Xiao Ye covered her little mouth with his hand, grumbling, "Si Yao, you seriously need to check yourself with this weird possessive trait."

Nangong Siyao pried away his rough hand, stuck out her tongue, and joked, "I’m just saying, kidding, hehe."

Xiao Ye looked around, surprised, "So you guys got up this early just to bring Ziran’s parents here?"

The number one wife, Cheng Bingxi, shook her head and said, "The four of us were planning a trip to Wilderness Base City, go back home to see my family and Siyao’s."

"My dad said Wilderness Base City has changed a lot, went from a low-level base all the way to an advanced base city, jumped two whole levels. With changes that big, since we’re locals, of course we have to go back and see."

Xiao Ye nodded, "Yeah, it’s good to check it out."

Cheng Bingxi’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she asked, "Will you come with us, go back home with us?"

Xiao Ye thought about it and said, "I already promised Ziran and Yunxi I’d help upgrade their template levels. Might have to wait until that’s done before I can make a trip back with you."

Cheng Bingxi looked a little disappointed, Nangong Siyao’s beautiful eyes widened.

"Fine then, we’ll all just go back home ourselves."

"Hmph, Xiao Ye, you’re not even coming home to your own place, whatever, let’s get going."

Cheng Bingxi crushed a teleportation item, a teleportation portal appeared, and she stepped inside with Nangong Siyao, Liu Ya, and Mu Qingxue.

Before going in, she even shot Xiao Ye a fierce glare, and her eyes were literally brimming with displeasure.

"Ugh." Xiao Ye scratched his head and said, "I’ll go back and visit after I finish this task."

"It’s not like I’m not going at all, just too busy right now."

"Also, yesterday Sister Ziran and I already went back once and upgraded her parents’ attribute levels to SSS."

Ziran covered her mouth, laughing, "They were just complaining because you didn’t go along. Going back home together is the norm, couples go visit families together."

Then she got a little excited, "Xiao Ye, can my template really be upgraded?"

"To that legendary Mythical Level?"

Xiao Ye nodded firmly, "Absolutely. We just need to collect all the upgrade resources."

"Give me your hand, let me check what resources your template upgrade requires."

Ziran placed her small hand in front of Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye instantly seized her soft, fair hand, gently caressing and kneading it.

[Template Adjuster scanning]

[SSS-level Devouring Taotie Emperor Template] (Upgradable)

[Attributes: Devouring, Creation]

Upgrade requirements: [50 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals, 50 Devouring Rule Fragment Crystals, 50 Creation Rule Fragment Crystals]

After checking the info, Xiao Ye nodded—just about what he’d expected for upgrade materials.

Ziran squirmed, "Why do I feel like you’re just taking advantage of me, playing with my hand? Stop touching my palm or I won’t be able to hold back!"

Xiao Ye was stunned, then squeezed her palm even harder, grinning, "No worries, you don’t have to hold back, we’re already married anyway."

"Your upgrade requires fifty Creation, fifty... well, fifty Creation, fifty Devouring, altogether a hundred and fifty Rule Fragment Crystals. With those, I can guarantee success when I level up your template!"

Ziran clamped her legs together, her pretty eyes brimming with affection, and said, "Creation and Devouring kinds are easy for me, but the Creation ones, neither Devil City nor the Imperial Base City have them, so we’ll have to go to Hang City Base City for that."

"Just as well, let’s visit the Hang City Empress!"

"Ugh, I really can’t hold back now."

Right then and there, Ziran hugged Xiao Ye and dragged him into the bedroom, who knows what they did inside.
