Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Of course, all of that combined probably still doesn't compare to how wicked I am..."

Yi Chen's thoughts drifted as he gazed deeply into the distant Lingxia Realm, his expression becoming profound.

Now that all these things were being pieced together, the Lingxia Realm was starting to look anything but simple.

But speaking of Yue Qingping, since the Three Corpse Primordial Spirits had returned, Yi Chen couldn't help but feel a faint stir of worldly desire in his heart.

The True Spirit from the Ancient Star Realm simply wasn't calculating enough, which is how it ended up being baited twice and turned into a perch with an upturned mouth.

This kind of humiliating defeat would never happen to National Master Yi Chengzi's true body.

"I haven't seen Master in ages. Now that I have the 'Myriad Stars Divine Illumination Scripture' retrieved from the Ancient Star Realm, it's a perfect time to bring it to her."

"Heh heh heh, I'll give Master a little surprise, something delightful and worthy!"

Like a fly rubbing its hands together, Yi Chen grinned and rubbed his palms, then instantly spread his Extreme Origin energy to slice open a crack in the void. Without hesitation, his entire figure vanished into the gap.

"Aye! Master, this poor Taoist is here!"

"Yue Qingping, that damned bastard! How did he move Mount Qingping all the way to the sea here in the Western Lands?"

"But this kind of trivial matter could never stump this poor Taoist."

With True Technique at the threshold of Nineteen Layers, Yi Chen traversed through the Gang Wind in merely an instant, directly sensing the presence of Mount Qingping. His spiritual power locked onto Shui Lingyue's location, and he sped toward her immediately.

"Well, well, taking a bath, are we?"

"Perfect, I'll give Ling Yue a little surprise."

Amidst the rising steam, in a large hot spring on the back mountain of Mount Qingping, a breathtakingly beautiful nun was bathing.

Flower petals were scattered on the surface of the spring, and her flawless, curvaceous figure was submerged beneath the water.

This nun of ethereal beauty was none other than Shui Lingyue, Taoist companion to Great Qin's State Preceptor Yi Chengzi.

'Shui Lingyue' had been relentlessly pondering how to resolve the aftereffects of the Soul Swapping Deceiving Heaven Technique secret technique every day. Her mind had been spinning so much that she felt dizzy and suffocated. Today, seeking peace amidst her restlessness, she decided to take a bath to ease her wearied body and mind.

The hot spring's silky water glided over her skin like cream.

Yue Qingping, her gaze vacant and unfocused, stretched out her delicate hand to grab a ladle made of a gourd. She scooped up a ladle of hot spring water and poured it down her icy, smooth skin.

At this exact moment, someone seized the ladle and helped pour a scoop for her.

"Thank you, it's..."

"Thank me for what? We're an old, married couple."

*Sneaky inhale~*

The appearance of the infamous "Lushan's Grip" was sudden and alarming. Hearing the familiar voice, Yue Qingping's chaotic thoughts snapped back to reality, and her facial expression instantly contorted in shock and anger!

"You bastard! Yi Chengzi! It's me, Ling Yue, on the front mountain!"

"Let go of me right now! Take your damned claws off of me!"

Suddenly, 'Shui Lingyue' let out a sharp and piercing shriek.

A tea's worth of time later.

In the secret chamber of the cavern estate, Yi Chen, his face ashen, unleashed his own sharp and piercing shriek!

"What the hell, damn it! Yue Qingping, where the hell did you put my wife?! Where's Ling Yue? That big, lovely wife of mine?!"

In the blink of an eye, the three individuals in the chamber were exchanging bewildered looks, sinking into a long, awkward silence.

'Shui Lingyue' still had a flushed complexion, her chest rising and falling in agitation, as though she wanted to say something but ultimately bit her lip and said:

"Yi Chengzi, this matter... I'll give you an explanation. Just give me a bit more time—three years! Grant me three years!"

"The 'Myriad Stars Divine Illumination Scripture' you brought is a legendary masterpiece. Its wondrous insights have sparked quite a few epiphanies for me!"

"Fine, this poor Taoist will give you three years!" Yi Chen glared angrily at 'Shui Lingyue,' utterly unprepared for the realization that, despite his cultivation reaching True Technique Level Twenty-Nine, ranking among the mighty overlords of the Cosmic Sea, his home might still be subject to theft.

"Husband, why have you come?"

'Yue Qingping' let her alluring gaze wander toward Yi Chen, while Master instinctively reached to take his hand...
