Chapter 430: Boiling Bloodline

Ye Guan made a beeline for Ao Qianqian's classroom and found that she was in the middle of giving a lecture. Ao Qianqian was wearing a light blue long dress today, which showcased her graceful figure and exquisite beauty.

Ye Guan stared quietly at Ao Qianqian while standing by the door. Ao Qianqian looked all serious while teaching, and she was so engrossed that she failed to notice Ye Guan standing by the door.

However, she noticed the strange gazes of her students. She followed their line of sight and found Ye Guan standing by the door. Ao Qianqian smiled instantly and turned to the students, saying, "Class dismissed!"

Class dismissed?

The students were speechless.

We're just getting started; what do you mean, class dismissed?!

Ao Qianqian ignored the speechless students and walked over to Ye Guan.

"Don't you have class today?" Ao Qianqian asked, smiling.

"Yeah, I have class today," Ye Guan nodded and explained, "But I only have to teach twice a week; the Sword Dao Academy doesn't have that many students, after all."

"Must be great to teach only twice a week," Ao Qianqian lampooned.

Ye Guan chuckled and held Ao Qianqian's hand.

Ao Qianqian blushed slightly, but she didn't retract her hand from Ye Guan's grip.

Ao Qianqian's students looked at each other in astonishment.

The goddess has fallen!

A cacophony of sighs pervaded the classroom.

The male students realized just then that they had lost all chances to get lucky.

Ye Guan walked slowly down the academy grounds while holding Ao Qianqian's hand.

The Milky Way Academy was expansive, and the academy grounds had nearly a hundred buildings. Ye Guan looked around and remarked, "I heard this school is under the direct governance of the Milky Way Clan."

Ao Qianqian nodded. "Yes, it was established under the orders of Clan Master Yang many years ago. The academy was founded to discover talents on Blue Planet and then cultivate them for the Milky Way Clan."

"You really are quite popular here, eh?" Ye Guan said upon realizing that Ao Qianqian was attracting quite a few gazes.

Ao Qianqian made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and said, "I feel that the Guanxuan Universe can learn from the laws here."

Ye Guan was curious. "What laws?"

Ao Qianqian replied, "It is illegal to have more than one wife here."

Ye Guan's expression froze. He had also learned that it was illegal for a man to have more than one wife here. It was unheard of in the Guanxuan Universe, and anyone could marry as many wives as they wanted so long as they could afford to nurture them.

Ao Qianqian glanced at him and asked, "Are you angry?"

Ye Guan shook his head. He finally understood what Cizhen meant by severing one's obsessions meant that he would love nothing else but the sword. He would undoubtedly become even stronger by focusing on nothing but the sword, but Ye Guan couldn't do it.

He simply had too many obsessions for him to sever all of them.

Just then, Ao Qianqian stopped walking and stared silently at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan let go of Ao Qianqian's hand and said, "Qianqian, what you want is not wrong. It's all my fault. I really want you to stay by my side, but if I can't bring you happiness, then..."

Ao Qianqian stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Then, you're going to let go of me? If I want to leave you, you'll respect my choice. Is that it?"

Ye Guan nodded. Ao Qianqian's line of thought wasn't strange. After all, which woman would want their husband to have multiple wives?

If he had to blame anything, he would blame his lousy Mad Demon Bloodline.

Mad Demon Bloodline: "..."

Ao Qianqian suddenly asked, "What if it's Little Jia? What if she wants to leave you?"

Ye Guan shook his head and replied, "I don't know. I haven't really thought about it, and I dare not think about it."

"So you've thought about how I'm going to leave you?" Ao Qianqian asked coldly.

Ye Guan grabbed Ao Qianqian's hand. He wanted to make excuses at first, but he realized that he had already learned his lesson. With that in mind, was he going to remain indecisive? It had already been established that everything was his fault, so Ye Guan knew that there was only one thing he could do here—take responsibility for his mistake.

Having made up his mind, Ye Guan hugged Ao Qianqian and kissed her. Ao Qianqian stiffened as if she had been struck by a lightning bolt, and her eyes widened into saucers.

Ye Guan didn't dare to take any more liberties with Ao Qianqian and promptly let go of her. Having been freed from Ye Guan's tight embrace, Ao Qianqian clenched her fist and hammered his chest playfully.

Ye Guan didn't dodge; he shut his eyes tightly and endured it.

After a while, Ye Guan opened his eyes once more; the flurry of playful punches had stopped. Ye Guan looked down to find Ao Qianqian resting her head against his chest; her cheeks were flushed ever so slightly in a mixture of anger and embarrassment.

However, she seemed to have no idea that her flushed cheeks were making her look even more stunning.

Ye Guan grinned and held her hand gently once more.

Ao Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What's up with that smile?"

Ye Guan didn't speak as he pulled Ao Qianqian into the distance.

"Little Guan, I really like this place," said Ao Qianqian.

Ye Guan nodded. "Me, too. What do you think about staying here in the future?"

Ao Qianqian turned to look at him and asked, "Do you really want to stay here for the long term?"

Ye Guan nodded slightly.

Ao Qianqian shook her head and smiled. "No, I don't think it's a good idea. We'll eventually get sick of this place if we stay here for too long, so I think it's better if we only come and stay here occasionally."

"You're right," Ye Guan said, nodding.

Ao Qianqian grinned while staring at Ye Guan. Her right hand gripped his hand tightly as she looked at him affectionately.

"Qianqian, actually... I was scared earlier," Ye Guan said.

Ao Qianqian asked, "Scared?"

"Yes," Ye Guan replied, "I was scared that you'd actually leave me."

Ao Qianqian looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Really?"

Ye Guan nodded. He gripped her hand tightly and explained, "Actually, I think you knew that I was afraid."

Ao Qianqian lowered her head. She had established a contract with Ye Guan, which meant that they had already become one. In other words, she was extremely familiar with Ye Guan and could feel his feelings.

Indeed, Ye Guan could lie to others, but he could never lie to Ao Qianqian.

"I would die for you, so why would I even think of leaving you? Well, I guess I'll leave you if you no longer want me to stay next to you," Ao Qianqian replied, smiling wryly.

Ye Guan let go of her hand and grabbed her slender waist.

"Let's be kind to each other, okay?" Ye Guan asked while staring intently at her.

Ao Qianqian nodded shyly.

The two walked down the gravel path, and they had become infinitely more intimate than before. After all, they had already established that neither of them could afford to lose the other.

"When are you going back to the Guanxuan Universe?" asked Ao Qianqian.

Ye Guan pondered briefly before replying, "I need to see my father and my aunt first. I met the Great Daoist Brush Master not too long ago, and from what he told me, it seems that they're soon going to leave the Milky Way."

Ao Qianqian looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Really? They're leaving?"

Ye Guan nodded. "This place is great, but there's no way they'll stay here forever."

"Indeed," Ao Qianqian replied with a nod. Then, she noticed something and asked, "Do you even know where they are?"

Ye Guan smiled bitterly and replied, "No, but I know that the restriction on this planet was set in place by none other than my father."

"I guess he doesn't want the cultivators from the stars beyond to disturb the peace of this planet," Ao Qianqian said.

"No, I think it's all because of me," Ye Guan said in a deep voice.

"

Pfft!

" Ao Qianqian laughed. "No way!"

Ye Guan smiled without saying anything.

"Ah, I have to go now," Ao Qianqian suddenly said, "I have a practical class this afternoon."

Ye Guan hesitated briefly before wrapping his arm around Ao Qianqian's waist.

Ao Qianqian hurriedly took a few steps backward and looked around.

"Don't mess around; there are too many people here!" Ao Qianqian chided, blushing.

Ye Guan could only say, "Okay..."

Ao Qianqian saw Ye Guan's helpless look and couldn't help but find him pitiful. She pondered briefly over something before walking up to Ye Guan and giving him a quick peck on the lips.

Ye Guan had yet to feel the kiss, but Ao Qianqian had already run away.

Ye Guan couldn't help but grin while staring at the fleeing Ao Qianqian. He suddenly felt like his daily life here wasn't so bad, and he couldn't help but feel hesitant at the idea of going back to the Guanxuan Universe.

After all, returning to the Guanxuan Universe meant getting into dangerous fights once again; Ye Guan reckoned that he would lose time to enjoy life and that he would be extremely tired every day.

Just then, a young woman appeared behind Ye Guan.

Ye Guan turned around and smiled. "Miss Ling!"

Xuanyuan Ling blinked and asked, "Who is Teacher Qianqian to you? Is she your—"

"Wife!" Ye Guan promptly replied.

Wife!

Xuanyuan Ling blinked but didn't say anything.

"What's wrong?" Ye Guan asked.

Xuanyuan Ling hurriedly shook her head. "Nothing..."

Ye Guan smiled and asked, "Shall we go to your house now?"

"Yes." Xuanyuan Ling nodded.

"Let's go, then," Ye Guan replied.

Xuanyuan Ling nodded once more and led Ye Guan out of the academy. A car was already waiting for them outside. The car was massive, and the front seats were separated from the back seats. The legroom was massive as well, and Ye Guan reckoned that one could fit an entire bed inside of it.

"How is Wanyu? Is she doing okay?" Ye Guan asked.

"She's doing fine, and don't worry about her." Xuanyuan Ling smiled and explained, "I arranged for people to protect her at school; she's not going to get bullied."

Ye Guan nodded. "Great!"

"Mr. Ye, can I ask you a question?" Xuanyuan Ling asked.

Ye Guan made a sidelong glance at Xuanyuan Ling and said, "Go ahead."

Xuanyuan Ling asked seriously, "How many wives do you actually have?"

Ye Guan's expression stiffened. He didn't expect Xuanyuan Ling to ask such a question.

Xuanyuan Ling laughed and urged, "Come on, tell me!"

Xuanyuan Ling was no longer standing on ceremony with Ye Guan after realizing that Ye Guan was more easygoing than she thought.

Ye Guan thought for a moment before saying, "I have quite a few wives..."

Quite a few wives?

Xuanyuan Ling suddenly became interested. "Are they all in the Milky Way?"

Ye Guan shook his head.

Xuanyuan Ling smiled and went silent.

Ye Guan hesitated for quite a while before asking, "Do you think I'm too fickle?"

Xuanyuan Ling laughed and asked back, "Do you know how many women my father has?"

Ye Guan stared at Xuanyuan Ling without saying anything.

Xuanyuan Ling chuckled and calmly said, "He has almost a hundred wives as far as I know."

"The fuck?" Ye Guan cursed unconsciously. Then, he hurriedly apologized, "S-sorry, I didn't mean to swear. It's just... isn't it illegal to have many wives here?"

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head and smiled. "You're really cute."

Ye Guan was confused.

Xuanyuan Ling explained, "It seems that way on the surface but behind the scenes..."

"

Ah,

I get it." Ye Guan nodded.

Xuanyuan Ling made a sidelong glance at Ye Guan and asked, "Can you really love each of your wives equally?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

Xuanyuan Ling blinked, "If—I mean if—you can only choose one of them, who would you choose among them?"

"Miss Ling, have you ever been in love?" Ye Guan asked back.

Xuanyuan Ling shook her head. "No!"

"Then, don't ask," Ye Guan replied, sounding serious.

Xuanyuan Ling froze, and her expression darkened, eliciting a chuckle from Ye Guan.

However, Ye Guan had no idea that his words had a significant impact on Xuanyuan Ling. Xuanyuan Ling remained silent throughout the rest of their journey, seemingly pondering over something.

Just then, the car went down a forest road.

Rumble!

Ye Guan's eyes shot wide open upon realizing that his blood was boiling.

Bloodline power?

Ye Guan was astonished. However, the unique bloodline fluctuations didn't belong to the Mad Demon Bloodline but to another one of his bloodlines!

What's going on?
