Chapter 3557 - Young Babe

In a corner of the Grand Myriadpath Ruins, white stars seemed to race past each other as they flooded into a sea of pink light behind.

Tianming stood up, supporting himself on the wall. He looked at the beautiful woman whose skin was haphazardly wrapped with garments, illuminated by the starlight from outside the window. Her pink hair seemed to part like roses, stretching down to her waist. She looked simply stunning in the light; every inch of her embodied a gentle coziness.

Moments ago after Tianming followed her, Jiguang had suddenly turned around and stared into his eyes, much to his surprise. He wasn't wearing his mask. Everything that happened after felt like a dream. When he awoke from the dream, six hours had passed.

With a contented smile, she pulled her clothes tighter and sat on a bench. Then, she waved at him. "Come here."

"Yes, Auntie." He sat down by her side and his head was gently cradled onto her soft thighs. Then her fingers gently tousled his hair. Tianming was absolutely enraptured by the tranquility of it all.

He finally knew why he was so attracted to her. There was nothing that she wouldn’t do for his sake. He felt like she would accept every fiber of his being.

"Stop calling me 'Auntie'. It just makes everything weird. I don't want to give ill-meaning people another reason to criticize us," Jiguang said, gently looking at him.

"I don't care what other people say about us. We aren't related by blood, anyway, so I'm free to love who I want. It's none of their business," Tianming said.

"Whatever you say...." Even though she had wanted to talk to him as an equal, he insisted on speaking to her as a junior would. She had no choice but to spoil him.

"Then what should I call you?" No matter how slow Tianming was, he knew that she definitely knew that it had been him under the purple mask.

In the beginning, he’d been completely stupefied. The thought that she had seen him come up with excuses and explanations to no avail had almost turned him into stone from all the awkwardness.

Fortunately, Jiguang had done most of the legwork to smooth out the situation. There was no longer any need to explain anything at this point. They talked not with their words, but with their loving deeds.

"Call me by name," she said, pinching his ear. "You're really naughty, you know that? A naughty young babe."

She smirked with a menacing look in her eyes. "Let's see if you dare to act so naughty again. I'm two thousand years older than you, and you wouldn't like to see me mad."

"Okay, okay!" Tianming hurriedly nodded.

"You aren’t just naughty, you're also a little daft." She pinched his earlobe hard to vent.

Tianming knew that she was referring to his bad acting. It still felt awkward when he thought of how she had known the whole time! "I promise to never come up with any silly plans on my own again." Still, he was quite curious how she even found out, though he felt it was too awkward to ask her. He basked in her fragrance, glad that he had let his beasts out to do their own thing in advance.

"Jiguang...." It was the first time he had called her directly by her name. He really couldn't get used to it. She was more of an elder-sister figure to him, after all. "The Three Exalted Houses decided to send people to Skydome. We should come up with a plan to deal with it."

"That's right... they deactivated the Myriadpath Celestial Formation." Jiguang's eyes filled with worry once more.

Tianming told her about the Blissful Union, something he had intended to do in the first place. He didn't think that she would take the initiative to make it easier for him.

"A wormhole expressway? That's out of this world. Not even the Grand Myriadpath Ruins is capable of that," she said, plenty surprised. "Since that's the case, we'll have to transfer to the Blissful Union right away and head to Skydome, right?"

"Yeah. We'll make the Blissful Union our main base. It's safer there, and it also contains caeli, artifacts, battle arts, and more. There are those that suit you and can make you stronger."

"Really?" Her eyes brightened.

"Of course. Just make sure you don't use those new weapons or techniques against me."

"Nonsense! You're my precious! I can't protect you fast enough, let alone attack you!" She let out a lighthearted laugh and asked, "What about the Grand Myriadpath Ruins?"

"The former valley lord wants to hand it to me, but I don't have any use for it at the moment. I have my own ships, after all. I plan to split up and let him leave the Grand Myriadpath Ruins near Myriadpath Valley. He can communicate with Qitian Muyue through the transmission stone and keep an eye on House Qingchuan's safety and other changes in the valley. I'll focus on cultivating and protecting my loved ones."

"Splitting up our forces just in case does sound good. So you'll come back to inherit the Grand Myriadpath Ruins later, right? It is the symbol of the valley lord, so you'll gain legitimacy among the cultivators if you have it."

"Nonsense! Those rules are created by the Three Exalted Houses. I wish to completely overhaul Myriadpath Valley. As long as I conquer it,

I'll

make the rules." Tianming turned to look at her. "You wouldn't be against such ideas because you were once in the Three Exalted Houses, would you? Well, I don't care. You're my woman now, so you have to go along with my whims!"

"Alright." She was starting to not be able to stand him. "I'll do what you say like a good wife."

"Now that's more like it. I can't let you continue being loyal to outsiders when you're eating and sleeping in my household, after all."
