Chapter 735: Chapter 217: Soaring Power! Terrifying Immortal Appearance, Stalemate Against Paradise Palace

Xie Yu had already done well enough.

She tightly held onto Li Yuan, trying to make herself readjust.

Li Yuan also felt her arms trembling, so he gently embraced her, sitting like lovers in the warmth of early spring, heads leaning against each other, gazing at the green mountains and clear waters.

But Xie Yu was still trembling.

Li Yuan frowned slightly; he didn’t want this from the person beside him in bed, this wasn’t what he desired at all.

Yet this seemed to be an inevitable feeling she would have. Just like back then when he was with Lady Yan, if Lady Yan had transformed into this current appearance, what would he think?

That story would not be "mutually dependent through hardships" but rather "my wife is a terrifying Ghost King..."

Li Yuan slightly turned his head and saw the woman in white beside him, eyes tightly closed, eyelashes trembling along, clearly terrified.

He thought for a moment and suddenly a plan came to mind, so he took a deep sigh.

This sigh gave Xie Yu a topic.

"You... what’s wrong?"

Li Yuan sighed, "I am still too weak."

Xie Yu: ???

She instinctively refuted, "I’ve never seen anyone stronger than you."

Li Yuan sighed, "You’re only in the Sixth Grade, it’s normal not to have seen much, but... sigh..."

Xie Yu said, "I’ve seen my family’s Ancestor, our Ancestor doesn’t seem to be on the same level as you..."

Li Yuan said, "The strength of one person is limited, but the strength of many is endless. So what if I am slightly stronger than your family Ancestor, our three thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry can still easily kill me."

Xie Yu was still confident in the three thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, they were the foundation for the Xie Family’s dominance in the world.

But when she thought carefully in her mind, she still couldn’t determine if her man was stronger, or if the three thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry were stronger.

"So, in fact, I’m not that strong, it’s just appearance."

Li Yuan took the opportunity to conclude.

Xie Yu thought it was odd, yet with the backing of the three thousand Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, she didn’t seem as scared as at the beginning.

She held onto Li Yuan’s arm, tilted her head on his shoulder, then said, "So you’ve broken through to the Fourth Grade. Who are you really? Are you really from the East Sea? The East Sea is a mysterious sea region, I’ve only heard of demons and ghosts, never that there were people there."

Li Yuan said, "The East Sea has the Immortal Realm, there are people there."

And so, he gave a long explanation.

After a long time, Xie Yu suddenly realized, "So you’re also an Immortal from the East Sea Immortal Realm?"

Li Yuan shook his head, "I’m not."

Xie Yu was speechless, "Then... then why are you telling me all this?"

Li Yuan said, "I just want to tell you, there are people in the East Sea."

Xie Yu chuckled, then said, "Then let’s go back to the original question, who... who are you really? Are you really from the East Sea?"

Unknowingly, her speech became open again.

Li Yuan said, "In fact, I’m not from the East Sea."

Xie Yu was taken aback.

Li Yuan said, "I was just coveting the beauty of the girl, so I elevated myself."

Xie Yu playfully raised her small fist and lightly hammered Li Yuan, "How do I have any beauty?"

Li Yuan laughed, "In my heart, you are beautiful."

Xie Yu said, "How annoying, where is there someone as strong as you?"

Li Yuan said, "Haven’t seen one, have you?"

Xie Yu shook her head, "Haven’t seen..."

Li Yuan laughed, "Now you have."

With that, he let out a heavy sigh again, "One able to swim well drowns in water, in your eyes I might seem quite strong, but the stronger I am, the stronger the opponents I encounter, and the greater the danger... in reality, I am still very weak.

I just made a breakthrough, my Realm is unstable, I still have to find some strong beings to test myself.

There’s nothing more cautious than this."

Xie Yu felt it made sense, so she began to comfort him, "It’s okay... you’re really strong, husband, you have to believe in yourself."

Li Yuan held her hand, continuing to sigh.

Xie Yu continued to comfort him.

Amid all these sighs and comfort, the "fear of the lower ranks for the upper ranks in the food chain" slowly dissipated, leaving no trace.

...

...

Li Yuan wanted to test his skills, so he decided to make "Paradise Palace" his first target.

The reason was simple, according to his observation, Paradise Palace had the least entanglements with other forces, no matter what happened within... it seemed it wouldn’t draw further power from behind the scenes.

Moreover, he had deep ties with Paradise Palace.

If it weren’t for the conveniences provided by "Thousand-Mile in a Line," he might not have reached this point so quickly and conveniently.

Therefore, he wanted to personally visit Paradise Palace.

However, from Yanyun Dao to Mianzhou Path, the distance was really far, if he were to take Xie Yu along, it would take at least over two months.

So, he prepared to continue using the "Nine Temporary Patrol Tokens."

And this was also one of only two Evil Ghost Tools he could still use.

In his Equipment Bar, only three remained undimmed:

[Equipment 1: 1 cent (30)]

[Equipment 2: Nine Temporary Patrol Tokens]

[Equipment 3: Hungry Ghost Cage (1)]

As for "Mirror of Evil," "Thousand-Mile in a Line," and even "Ghost Hammer," they had all dimmed, indicating these three could no longer withstand Li Yuan’s Yang Qi.

...

After leaving the Desolate Cliff, Li Yuan brought Xie Yu back to the city, then feasted and bathed in the small rented courtyard.

Once Xie Yu was on the bed, Li Yuan prepared to leave.

But just as he got off the bed, he heard a faint noise from behind.

He slightly turned his head, Xie Yu had her eyes closed, breathing evenly...

But how could Xie Yu’s appearance fool Li Yuan?

This was clearly pretending to sleep while being awake.

Li Yuan hesitated for a moment, then took out a dark token, waved it in front of Xie Yu, and said, "I’m not going out to mess around, this thing is a treasure, it can allow me to shrink the land into inches..."
