Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 60: First, Let Me Give You a Good Scolding

  "Poof" Yue Cheng's protective halo shattered instantly, the two unicorns' collision was equivalent to two Dou Ling masters striking at the same time. Along with a mouthful of blood spewing out, Yue Cheng's body was directly knocked flying into mid-air.

  Yue Cheng, who was knocked flying by the two unicorns, did not land on the ground but instead stepped on a flying sword and quickly flew towards the mountain cliff.

  "Ao, wu" Four ferocious beasts suddenly let out a loud roar and chased after Yue Cheng. A Golden Wolf leaped forward, opening its bloody mouth wide to bite at Yue Cheng in mid-air, barely missing his flying sword by half an inch.

  "It's a good thing it wasn't a flying demon beast." Yue Cheng secretly thought to himself, hastily controlling the flying sword to fly upwards, and another mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. The two single-horned beasts' attack was something that even with his Yellow Dragon body, he couldn't withstand; his internal organs were almost dislocated from the impact. This was mainly because Yue Cheng's cultivation was still too low; if he had reached the fetal breathing stage later on, relying on his protective aura and Yellow Dragon body, perhaps he wouldn't have suffered such severe injuries from the two single-horned beasts' attack.

  Four magical beasts chased Yue Cheng for a while, watching his figure fly higher and higher, and could only roar at his figure on the ground.

  In an instant, Yue Cheng finally flew onto the cliff, but his injuries were not light, and he was already too weak to wield his sword and fly again. He hastily stuffed a Recovery Pellet into his mouth and quickly walked towards the mountain cliff where he would be taking refuge. Now that he was severely injured, if he encountered any magical beasts, he would become their food.

  Yue Cheng returned to the cave with a pale face, immediately sat cross-legged and began to meditate to heal his wounds. Murong Xiao looked at Yue Cheng, saw his pale face and the bloodstains on his chest, seemed to open her mouth to say something, but didn't speak out.

  The true energy slowly flowed within his body, and Yue Cheng carefully examined the injuries inside. This time, he was not lightly injured; if it weren't for the Yellow Dragon Body, he would have been dead by now. It seemed that next time he encountered a six-star or seven-star Dou Ling master, he should quickly run away, as he couldn't withstand their attacks.

  After several days of qigong and breathing exercises, Murong Xiaoxiao's injuries had mostly recovered, and her face began to regain its rosy complexion. She slowly stood up, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air, and gazed at Yue Cheng, who was sitting in front of her with his eyes closed, practicing qigong and regulating his breath. Her expression was complex.

  "Really want to kill him?" Murong Xiao whispered to herself: But he saved me.

  "How's your injury?" Yu Cheng felt Mu Rong Xiao Xiao standing in front of him and slowly stopped his healing exercise. Looking at Mu Rong Xiao Xiao, Yu Cheng's heart skipped a beat again, she was too beautiful. At this moment, Mu Rong Xiao Xiao's face was rosy and no longer pale as before.

  A pair of big eyes shone with a watery sheen, cherry-red lips were seductive and enticing. A purple long dress outlined a curvaceous figure, but her expression seemed somewhat melancholic, causing Yue Cheng to become slightly distracted.

  "Alright, it's almost done. Are you hurt?" Murong Xiaoxiao looked at Yue Cheng with some subtle and conflicting feelings in her heart.

  "Ah, I was injured by a few magical beasts. Are you going to kill me now?" Yue Cheng said softly, after several days of recuperation, his injuries were almost fully recovered.

  "Yes, I said I'd help you fulfill your unfulfilled wishes. Tell me." Murong Xiaoxiao was very entangled in her heart and hesitated for a while before responding to Yue Cheng.

  "Are you sure you'll keep your promise?" Yu Cheng looked at Mu Rong Xiao Xiao with a seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling expression, and it was clear that she seemed to be struggling internally. If she really wanted to kill him, there wouldn't be so much nonsense, and she would have taken action long ago.

  "I'll keep my promise, Murong Xiaoxiao. You can count on me to get it done," said Murong Xiaoxiao seriously to Yue Cheng.

  "I have only one wish, which is to marry you and make you my wife. If I can achieve this, I will die contentedly." Yue Cheng said with a sly smile as he gazed at Mu Rong Xiao Xiao.

  "You... do you believe I'll kill you right now?" Murong Xiao's face suddenly turned bright red, she didn't expect Yue Cheng to say something like that at this time, her expression suddenly became somewhat angry and coquettish, but looking into Yue Cheng's eyes, she quickly avoided him, not daring to make eye contact.

  "I just have this one wish, if you don't keep your promise I won't be able to do anything about it, so go ahead and kill me now, anyway I'm no match for you." Yue Cheng said, closing his eyes. Mu Rong Xiao Xiao was not experienced in matters of the heart, how could she be a match for Yue Cheng?

  Murong Xiaoxiao looked at Yue Cheng, for a moment didn't know what to do, and suddenly became somewhat flustered, after a while returned to the cave to continue sitting cross-legged and practicing breathing exercises, looking at his facial expression, seemingly very conflicted in his heart.

  Muyong Xiaoxiao's reaction seemed to be within Yue Cheng's expectations. He didn't say anything else and continued to cultivate his internal energy to heal his wounds.

  "Yue Cheng, I didn't think you were not only a lecher but also shameless, and you actually deceived someone's heart away." Yao Xuan's voice echoed in Yue Cheng's mind.

  "Shut up with your nonsense, if it weren't for your so-called 'technique', would I just let Murong Xiaoxiao kill me? Don't forget, if I die, you'll be in a terrible situation too." Yue Cheng retorted to Yao Xuan, if it weren't for her technique, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

  "You little rascal, don't blame me for your lust." Yu Xuan said with a spoiled tone.

  "You say I'm lustful, then I'll be lustful. Next time I have the chance, I'll show you what it means to be lustful." Yue Cheng retorted to Yao Xuan with a bad tone. If it were in the past, Yue Cheng wouldn't dare provoke Yao Xuan, but now things are different, and Yue Cheng isn't afraid of Yao Xuan anymore.

  "You dare, you dare touch me and I'll kill you." Yao Xuan hastily shouted, seemingly afraid that Yue Cheng would really do something to her.

  "Didn't you say that when I'm in danger, you'll come out to help me? A few days ago, I was chased by four 4th-tier demon beasts and almost died. Why didn't you come to my aid?" Yue Cheng asked Yaohuan, who could have easily handled the four 4th-tier demon beasts with his abilities.

  "You're not at a critical juncture of life and death, I wouldn't have come out if you weren't. You need to understand, right now I'm just a spiritual body, coming out once will consume quite a bit of my spiritual energy. Do you think I can just come out whenever I want?" Yao Xuan said irritably to Yue Cheng.

  After several days, Yue Cheng's injuries had also mostly recovered. It was hard not to say that the body of the Yellow Dragon was truly amazing, even the speed of healing was much faster than before. If it were like before, Yue Cheng wouldn't have been able to recover from such severe injuries in two or three months, but now he had only used half a month's time. Even Yue Cheng himself felt somewhat unbelievable. It seemed that this time, the favor owed to the Yue family was not small at all.

  Murong Xiaoxiao's injuries had all healed, and for the past few days, she had been meditating to recover from her wounds. Occasionally, she would stare blankly at Yue Cheng. With her previous personality, anyone who offended her would have been killed by her long ago. However, facing Yue Cheng, she felt very conflicted in her heart. Yue Cheng had indeed offended her, and it was a serious offense, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to take action against him.

  As a Dou Huang strongman, she was one of the few people in the entire Kowo Empire who didn't dare to disrespect her. The Kowo Empire was one of the two major empires on the Xuantian Continent, with territories such as Liting Town, Qixing City, and Shuangzi Sea. However, the Kowo Empire was also composed of several super-large powers and aristocratic families, among which the imperial family's power was the strongest. Legend had it that the imperial family still had some existences stronger than Dou Huang experts.

  "Your injuries should be healed by now." Yue Cheng withdrew his true energy and slowly stood up. Having lingered in the mountains for quite some time, he should hurry to the Twin Seas soon. The three-year appointment with Qingyang Gate was approaching, and he had to refine more magic tools to rely on.

  "Why do you want to marry me?" Murong Xiaoxiao suddenly bit her lip, gathered her courage and asked Yue Cheng, her eyes also fearless as she met Yue Cheng's gaze.

  "You are my first woman." Yue Cheng replied very succinctly. In this world, Mu Rong Xiao Xiao was indeed Yue Cheng's first woman.

  "What trick have you set up at the entrance? Open it quickly, I want to go out." Murong Xiaoxiao said to Yue Cheng. She had been walking towards the entrance for several days, but found that she couldn't get out no matter what. With her strength, she could force her way out of the formation, but doing so would destroy the array.

  Yue Cheng walked to the entrance of the cave and put away the Illusory Formation. Anyway, he had to leave this place, so there was no need for the formation anymore.

  Murong Xiaoxiao followed Yue Cheng to the entrance of the cave, looked at him and said: "When you have the power of Dou Huang, come find me in the Imperial Palace of Kowo Empire. Otherwise, I will really kill you." After finishing speaking, Murong Xiaoxiao's figure floated up into the air and disappeared from Yue Cheng's sight without looking back.

  "I'll have the power of the Dou Huang soon, you're my first woman, I will definitely go find you." Yu Cheng murmured as he gazed at Mu Rong Xiao Xiao's figure.

  After Murong Xiaoxiao left, Yue Cheng also quickly rode his sword and headed in the direction of the Gemini Sea. It should still be more than a month's journey from here to the Gemini Sea. Three days later, Yue Cheng finally flew out of the huge mountain range below, fortunately, he didn't encounter any flying magical beasts along the way.

  A month later, Yue Cheng followed a group of mercenaries to the edge of the Gemini Sea. He was worried about traveling alone, so he paid three gold coins and joined forces with the mercenaries. Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened along the way.

  It will take another day of flying on the winged beast to reach the true area of Gemini Sea, and Yue Cheng is now in a place called Gemini Town. The edge of Gemini Town is just a vast expanse of Gemini Sea, and far away, you can see that there are two islands tightly packed together in the depths of the sea, which is the famous Gemini Island. Looking at Gemini Island, it seems to be not far ahead, but to reach Gemini Island, it's still far away, and even flying beasts need to fly for a day.
