Chapter 3335 - You Young People Really Know how to Play

As expected, the more than two million cultivators in Myriadpath Valley were indeed overjoyed. Most had received missions from House Yumo and were queuing up to head to various mundi. Such a large-scale operation was beyond the capacity of the Myriadpath Celestial Formation to handle all at once. House Yumo estimated that it would take more than six months for a million people to complete a single round trip.

Gongsun Yan was among the first batch to reach Skydome, and by the time he returned, there were still at least 800,000 people who hadn’t set off yet. Just as he returned, he heard a massive piece of news spreading across the Myriadpath Celestial Formation.

"Li Tianming's status as a top fugitive in Myriadpath Valley’s been revoked by the Old Patriarch of House Suishen!"

"The Old Patriarch decided to fulfill their wishes, allowing Pathkeeper Li to return to Myriadpath Valley and marry Minor Pathkeeper Suishen Yao!"

"Won't Suishen Yue cry himself to death?"

"Rumor has it that the Old Patriarch rewarded him with a maniverse-class artifact on the spot. Suishen Yue must be grinning in his sleep. While he didn’t get the Suishen Blood, he still gained a maniverse-class artifact. He didn’t lose out at all."

"Haha! Definitely not a loss. If it were me, I'd be happy too."

When Gongsun Yan heard the news, he almost tripped over his feet. He had mocked Tianming for days after he was severely punished, feeling smug. But now it was as if he had swallowed a fly.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Is there really such good news? Couldn’t it be a trap by House Suishen to kill him?"

"A trap? I’ve heard that conspiracy theory, but everyone’s saying the Old Patriarch publicly announced it. If it was a trap, it’d be too underhanded."

"Yes! My brothers have all discussed it. Everyone in Myriadpath Valley is eagerly anticipating Pathkeeper Li's return. After all, it wasn’t such a big deal and Suishen Yue has been compensated. If House Suishen still held a grudge against Pathkeeper Li, I’d say they don’t deserve to be one of the Three Exalted Houses."

"I trust that Pathkeeper Li can make his own judgments! Anyway, we all support him! A mundi genius reaching this point is truly admirable."

“Dammit!” Hearing these fanatical remarks only made Gongsun Yan more uncomfortable. He felt bitter inside and went to report his findings from Skydome to House Yumo.

After his report, the House Yumo's in-charge crossed the Skydome Mundus off the list.

"Indeed, compared to the Hellfiend incident, Li Tianming's matters are trivial. House Yumo doesn’t even care about him anymore!" Thinking of that, Gongsun Yan could only feel increasingly frustrated. "Such incredible luck! He even managed to play around with a young master of the Three Exalted Houses...."

Gongsun Yan was jealous.

Thinking of Suishen Yao, he felt a bit regretful. "Dammit! Even though that woman had a harem and was no longer pure, her beauty was undeniable and she was skilled! After waiting for so long, I should’ve enjoyed myself regardless of cleanliness!"

He now wanted to return, but looking at the long queue of tens of thousands of people ahead, he gave up the idea. Those in the queue were enthusiastically discussing Tianming’s return to Myriadpath Valley.

As for Eminent Jiguang, she had returned to the Jiguang Sea. But before she’d returned, Suishen Zhao and the others had already rushed to tell Suishen Yao about the Old Patriarch’s announcement.

As soon as Eminent Jiguang returned, she was pounced upon by a pink figure who kissed her fiercely on the face and exclaimed, "Good Aunt! I love you so much! Mwah, mwah, mwah!"

Eminent Jiguang was both amused and exasperated by her kisses and used her hands to pry the young girl off, teasing, "I’m not your Little Li, can’t you be a bit more reserved?"

Suishen Yao's eyes were red, but her face was full of smiles. She continued clinging to Eminent Jiguang, shouting, "I don’t care, you’ve been too good to me!"

Eminent Jiguang laughed and said, "To be honest, I merely mentioned it to your grandfather. I didn’t expect him to agree so readily. Your father must be quite upset now, as he didn’t show up today. Don’t provoke him in the future."

"My father? I don’t care about him! My grandfather’s the wise one!" Suishen Yao happily said, her two little tiger teeth gleaming.

"Look at how happy you are! Your true feelings are completely exposed, aren't they? You won’t admit that you like him," Eminent Jiguang said, pinching her cheek.

"What’re you talking about?" Suishen Yao pouted. "Auntie, you know my Suishen Blood was an accident. We’re still innocent."

"Yes, yes, but what does it matter? Once everyone believes you two are madly in love, the actual facts become irrelevant. Yaoyao, don’t pretend in front of your aunt," Eminent Jiguang said.

"Who's pretending? I really didn’t plan to marry him," Suishen Yao pouted.

Eminent Jiguang looked at her with disdain and said, "Still pretending?"

"I’m not!" Suishen Yao grit her teeth and said with a bitter face, "Auntie, is there any way to just let him return without marrying him?"

"Of course not! Your grandfather’s intention is to fully integrate him into House Suishen so we can use him in the future. That requires someone with the Suishen Clan’s core bloodline to marry him. If it isn’t you, should

I

marry him?" Eminent Jiguang asked with a laugh.

"Then you should marry him! You were so eager last time, demonstrating for an entire month when it only needed a day," Suishen Yao said.

"You still say you don’t like him when you’re holding that grudge? You’re so good at being jealous," Eminent Jiguang said, pinching her mouth. "Alright, no more joking. When he comes back, just live a good life with him! The lovers are finally together and Yaoyao will become a happy bride."

"Fine!" Suishen Yao’s eyes sparkled as she joked, "Since there’s no other way, I’ll make a pact with Little Li. We’ll be married in name, but in essence, we’ll remain master and disciple. He absolutely can’t touch me! If he doesn’t agree, I’ll beat him up."

Eminent Jiguang couldn’t help but rub her forehead, exasperated. "You young people really know how to play. You aren’t even married yet, and you’re already planning the role-playing."

"Ah!" Suishen Yao’s face turned red. "I’m going to scratch you to death! Pinch you till you burst!"

On the Jiguang Sea, with its shimmering waves, two graceful figures laughed and played.

Finally, Suishen Yao asked, "Auntie, isn’t he in that Skydome Mundus? If we don’t go find him, how will he know he’s been pardoned?"

Eminent Jiguang replied, "That’s simple. I’ll just go over and inform him. Do you want to come along?"

Suishen Yao initially wanted to go, but after thinking it over, she said, "It’d be too embarrassing to go there just to tell him he has to marry me. I won’t go."

"Are you afraid he’ll refuse?" Eminent Jiguang teased.

"I’m not afraid!" Suishen Yao scoffed. "That guy has nowhere to cultivate besides Myriadpath Valley. How could he not come?"

"Cultivation’s secondary. The main attraction here is still winning the beauty," Eminent Jiguang said.

"Yeah, and he’ll have beauties on both arms, too. Gotta collect them all," Suishen Yao teasingly replied.
