The emergence of the mysterious realm in the South Sea once again stirred a wave of excitement. The ancient martial cultivation world, already restless, was boiling over once more…
Many old masters who had long withdrawn from the world sensed something unusual in the air. Just as the martial cultivation world was beginning to show signs of revival, a series of strange events unfolded, creating an eerie sense of unease.
It was said that the mysterious realm in the South Sea was an independent space filled with numerous ancient restrictions. Even experts at the Heaven Spirit stage found it difficult to enter. This time, however, many powerful cultivators had managed to carve out a path, aiming to send the younger generation of experts deep into the heart of the mysterious realm.
Leaving Linjiang, Xiao Yufan quickly arrived at Changnan City, located on the coast of the South Sea.
Though not as bustling as the imperial capital, Changnan was still a land of abundance and beauty, bordering the South Sea and possessing a touch of paradise. Here, there was also a passage leading to the mysterious realm.
As Xiao Yufan arrived in Changnan, his heart inexplicably stirred with excitement—he was about to reunite with the one who had haunted his dreams…
All ten top experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Tournament had gathered in Changnan, including Cheng Ying. Fate had once again brought the two together.
The emergence of the mysterious land in the South China Sea has once again sparked a wave of excitement. The already restless ancient martial world has boiled over once more…
Many reclusive old masters have sensed something unusual. The ancient martial world had just begun to show signs of revival, yet so many events have occurred in quick succession, leaving a lingering sense of strangeness.
It is said that the mysterious land in the South China Sea is an independent space, filled with numerous restrictions. Even the strongest of the Heavenly Spirit Realm find it difficult to enter. This time, many powerful figures have opened a passage with the sole purpose of sending the younger generation of warriors deep into the heart of this mysterious land.
Leaving Linjiang, Xiao Yufan quickly arrived at Changnan City on the coast of the South China Sea.
Though not as bustling as the capital, Changnan City is still considered a land of abundance. Bordering the South China Sea, it exudes an air of a fairyland on earth. Here, there is also a passage leading to the mysterious land.
Upon arriving in Changnan City, Xiao Yufan’s heart inexplicably stirred, simply because he was about to see the person who had haunted his thoughts…
The top ten masters from the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly had all gathered in Changnan City, including Cheng Ying. Fate had brought the two of them together once again.
The hall master of the Eastern Earth Shrine gathered all ten of them and, after some instructions, informed them that the passage would open in two days.
Among the ten, there were many familiar faces. The gazes of Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong held a hint of hostility, but with his current strength, Xiao Yufan merely smiled it off. Though not overtly aggressive, his calm demeanor left the two of them feeling frustrated.
Finally, Xiao Yufan’s gaze settled on a graceful figure.
Dressed in a light purple robe, her ethereal beauty was accentuated. Her eyes, like autumn water, were captivating. Cheng Ying’s most striking feature was her pair of light blue eyes, as clear as when they first met. Her beauty was like a hundred miles of lotus, her gentle heart like snowflakes, her appearance as stunning as a painting.
As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s intense gaze, Cheng Ying lightly bit her upper lip. Her charming demeanor made several men swallow hard. At the Ancient Martial Arts Assembly, her icy demeanor had left a deep impression, but now she showed a more delicate side, causing everyone’s eyes to shift toward Xiao Yufan.
“Let’s go for a walk…” Cheng Ying’s voice was still as enchanting, though it carried a bit more coldness than a few years ago.
Nodding, Xiao Yufan followed Cheng Ying’s steps, ignoring the surprised glances from the others. Among them, another beautiful figure couldn’t help but stomp her foot in frustration. This annoying guy had completely overlooked her.
Wang Yuxuan had wanted to get closer to Xiao Yufan, but she realized he hadn’t even noticed her, not even sparing her a glance. This left her disappointed, but more than that, it piqued her curiosity. What kind of charm did this man, whom her brother revered as the young master, possess?
Even at dusk, the coast of the South China Sea was still warm. Walking leisurely through the small town on the outskirts of Changnan, Xiao Yufan seemed very much at ease.
“Are you doing okay…”
The atmosphere grew awkward for a moment, prompting Xiao Yufan to speak. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized how poor his conversational skills were. Even a simple greeting felt hollow.
“I’m fine!” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Ying’s lips, her beautiful smile leaving Xiao Yufan entranced.
“I saw the words you left in the cave. Ye Kong also told me a lot about you. I shouldn’t have buried our feelings in my heart. If I could…”
“Knowing is enough!”
Before Xiao Yufan could finish, Cheng Ying interrupted, leaving him momentarily stunned. Was this a rejection?
For a moment, Xiao Yufan didn’t know what to say. Had he been deluding himself all along? If this had happened a few years ago, he would have turned and left without a second thought. But this time, he wouldn’t let go of this woman’s hand.
“Maybe I wasn’t qualified to keep you by my side before, but now, I won’t let anyone take you away from me. Even if you want to leave, I won’t allow it!”
His domineering tone left no room for compromise. Xiao Yufan had made up his mind. Even if it meant swallowing his pride, he would keep this woman by his side. Besides, he was well aware of Cheng Ying’s feelings for him. Even if it meant betraying the world, he wouldn’t let her down again.
“They won’t agree, even if I want to stay by the side of the one I love.”
Xiao Yufan thought his bold confession would move Cheng Ying, but her calm demeanor nearly extinguished all his hopes. However, her last sentence brought a broader smile to his face.
“No one can stop us, not even the Qingling Shrine!”
If Xiao Yufan couldn’t read between the lines of Cheng Ying’s words, he would be unworthy of his high emotional intelligence. Excited, he tightly grasped her slightly cold hand in his.
A hint of shyness appeared on Cheng Ying’s face, but she didn’t resist, allowing her hand to be held by this man.
If it were just the Qingling Shrine, how could it stop her? Cheng Ying thought to herself. Since she was accompanying him on this journey, she might as well let him have his way this once.
“When I realized your departure had its reasons, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Even in my dreams, your shadow lingered. Even if you hadn’t appeared this time, I would have found you someday.”
The emotions buried deep within his heart began to pour out. Xiao Yufan feared that this reunion might be as fleeting as a mirage.
“I missed you too, so much, so much!”
A mist formed in Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes. She tried to control her emotions, but tears fell uncontrollably. For so long, she had been suffering the pain of longing alone.
Finally finding an outlet for her emotions, she could cry without restraint. Leaning gently on Xiao Yufan’s shoulder, Cheng Ying felt a mix of happiness and relief. Even if this happiness was fleeting, she cherished it deeply.
Inhaling the faint scent of Cheng Ying’s body, Xiao Yufan felt his eyes moisten. A man doesn’t shed tears easily, but when he does, it’s because he’s truly heartbroken. Beneath her tear-streaked, stunning face, how many secrets were hidden? His heart ached fiercely…
No matter what, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t let Cheng Ying leave. Their love had endured so many hardships. How could he bear to let her face everything alone? Now, he had the strength to shield his woman from the storm, ensuring she would never suffer again…
Among the ten, many familiar faces appeared. Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong exchanged glances filled with subtle hostility. However, with Xiao Yufan’s current strength, he merely smiled at their resentment. Though not boastful, his calmness frustrated the two immensely.
Finally, Xiao Yufan’s gaze settled on a graceful figure.

Leaving Linjiang, Xiao Yufan quickly arrived at Changnan City, located on the coast of the South China Sea.
Though Changnan City may not rival the capital in terms of prosperity, it is still considered a land of abundance. Bordering the South China Sea, it exudes an air of a fairyland on earth. Here, there is also a passage leading to the mysterious land.
Upon arriving in Changnan City, Xiao Yufan’s heart inexplicably grew restless, simply because he was about to meet the person who had been haunting his thoughts…
The top ten experts from the Ancient Martial Arts Conference had all gathered in Changnan City, and among them was Cheng Ying. The wheel of fate had brought the two together once again.
The hall master of the Eastern Earth Temple gathered all ten of them and, after some instructions, informed them that the passage would open in two days.
Among the ten, there were many familiar faces. The gazes of Nuo Tiangong and Ye Kong held a hint of hostility, but with Xiao Yufan’s current strength, he merely smiled it off. Though he wasn’t flaunting his power, his calm demeanor left the two feeling a surge of frustration.
Finally, Xiao Yufan’s gaze settled on a graceful figure.
Dressed in a light purple robe, her celestial aura was perfectly accentuated. Her eyes, like autumn water, were captivating. Cheng Ying’s most striking feature was her pair of light blue eyes, as clear as they were when they first met. Her beauty was unparalleled, her demeanor gentle yet firm, like a snowflake that had drifted down from the heavens, her grace painting a picture of unparalleled beauty.
As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s intense gaze, Cheng Ying lightly bit her upper lip. Her charming demeanor caused several men to swallow hard. During the Ancient Martial Arts Conference, her icy demeanor had left a deep impression on them, but now she displayed a more delicate, feminine side. Naturally, everyone’s eyes turned to Xiao Yufan.
“Let’s go for a walk…” Cheng Ying’s voice was still as enchanting as ever, though it carried a hint of coldness that hadn’t been there years before.
Nodding, Xiao Yufan followed Cheng Ying’s steps, completely ignoring the surprised looks from the others. Among them, another beautiful figure couldn’t help but stomp her foot in frustration. This annoying guy had completely overlooked her.

Even at dusk, the coast of the South China Sea was still warm. Strolling leisurely through the outskirts of Changnan, Xiao Yufan seemed completely at ease.
“How have you been…”
The atmosphere grew slightly awkward, prompting Xiao Yufan to speak. But as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized how inept he was at conversation. Even a simple greeting felt hollow.
“I’ve been fine!” A faint smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Ying’s lips, her beautiful smile leaving Xiao Yufan utterly entranced.
“I saw the words you left in the cave, and Ye Kong told me a lot about you. It was wrong of me to bury our feelings deep inside. If I could…”
“Knowing is enough.”
Before Xiao Yufan could finish, Cheng Ying interjected, leaving him momentarily stunned. Was this a rejection?
For a moment, Xiao Yufan was at a loss for words. Had he been deluding himself all along? If this had happened years ago, he would have turned and left without a second thought. But this time, he wouldn’t let go of this woman’s hand.
“Maybe in the past, I wasn’t qualified to keep you by my side. But now, I won’t let anyone take you away from me. Not even if you want to leave yourself!”
His voice was firm, leaving no room for compromise. Xiao Yufan had made up his mind. Even if it meant swallowing his pride, he would keep this woman by his side. Besides, he was well aware of Cheng Ying’s feelings for him. Even if it meant betraying the world, he wouldn’t let her down again.
“They won’t agree, even if I want to stay by the side of the one I love.”
Xiao Yufan had thought his bold confession would move Cheng Ying, but her calm demeanor nearly extinguished all his hopes. However, her last sentence brought a wider smile to his face.
“No one can stop us, not even the Qingling Temple.”
If Xiao Yufan couldn’t read between the lines of Cheng Ying’s words, he would have been unworthy of his high emotional intelligence. Excited, he tightly grasped her slightly cold hand in his.
A hint of shyness appeared on Cheng Ying’s face, but she didn’t resist, allowing her hand to remain in his.
If it was just the Qingling Temple, how could it possibly stop her? Cheng Ying thought to herself. Since she was accompanying him on this journey, she might as well let him have his way this once.
“When I realized that your departure was due to some hardship, I couldn’t stop thinking about you. Even in my dreams, your shadow lingered. Even if you hadn’t appeared this time, I would have found you someday.”
The emotions buried deep within his heart began to surface. Xiao Yufan feared that this reunion might be as fleeting as a mirage.
“I missed you too, so much, so much.”
A mist formed in Cheng Ying’s beautiful eyes. She tried to control her emotions, but tears fell uncontrollably. For so long, she had been suffering in solitude, yearning for him.
Finally finding an outlet for her emotions, she could cry without restraint. Leaning gently on Xiao Yufan’s shoulder, Cheng Ying felt a mix of happiness and relief. Even if this happiness was fleeting, she cherished it deeply.
Inhaling the faint scent of Cheng Ying’s body, Xiao Yufan felt his eyes grow moist. A man’s tears are not easily shed, but they come when the heart is truly wounded. Beneath her tear-streaked, breathtaking beauty, how many secrets were hidden? His heart ached fiercely…
No matter what, Xiao Yufan wouldn’t let Cheng Ying leave. Their love had endured so many trials. How could he bear to let her face everything alone? Now, he had the strength to shield her from the storm, to ensure she would never suffer again…
As if sensing Xiao Yufan’s intense gaze, Cheng Ying lightly bit her lip. Her charming expression caused several men nearby to swallow hard. During the martial arts tournament, her icy demeanor had left a deep impression, yet now she seemed more like a tender-hearted woman. Naturally, every gaze shifted toward Xiao Yufan.
“Let’s go out for a walk…” Cheng Ying’s voice remained as enchanting as ever, though now it carried a bit more chill than before.
Nodding, Xiao Yufan followed her without a second thought, completely ignoring the astonished glances around them. Among the group, another beautiful figure couldn’t help but stomp her foot in frustration—the annoying guy had completely ignored her.
Wanting to get closer to Xiao Yufan, Wang Yuxuan found that he hadn’t even noticed her presence, let alone spared her a glance. She felt disappointed, but even more curious—what kind of charm did this man, whom her brother revered as the young master, truly possess?
Even at dusk, the coast of the South Sea was still sweltering. Slowly walking through the farthest village in Changnan, Xiao Yufan appeared unusually calm.
“Are you doing okay…?”
The atmosphere grew awkward for a moment before Xiao Yufan finally spoke. Yet as soon as the words left his mouth, he realized how terrible he was at conversation. Even a simple greeting seemed pale and meaningless.
“I’m fine!” A faint smile appeared on her lips, causing Xiao Yufan to momentarily lose himself in her beauty.
“I saw the words you left in the cave, and Ye Kong told me a lot about you. I shouldn’t have buried our feelings so deeply. If only…”
“You know, that’s enough!”
Before Xiao Yufan could finish, Cheng Ying interrupted, leaving him momentarily stunned. Was this a rejection?
In that instant, Xiao Yufan didn’t know what else to say. Had he been nothing more than indulging in his own fantasies? If it had been a few years ago, he would have turned and walked away without hesitation. But this time, he would never let go of this woman’s hand again.
“I might not have had the qualifications to keep you by my side before, but now, I won’t allow anyone to take you away from me. Not even if you try to leave on your own!”
His voice was firm and unyielding. Xiao Yufan had already made up his mind—he would keep this woman close, even if it meant being shamelessly persistent. He clearly understood Cheng Ying’s feelings for him. Even if it meant going against the entire world, he would never betray her again.
“They won’t agree, even if I want to stay with the one I love.”
Xiao Yufan had thought his bold declaration would move Cheng Ying, but her reaction was far too calm, nearly extinguishing his hope. However, her last words made his smile widen.
“No one can stop us—not even the Qing Ling Sect!”
If Xiao Yufan couldn’t detect the hidden meaning in Cheng Ying’s tone, he wouldn’t deserve his sky-high EQ. Overjoyed, he quickly took her slightly cold hand into his.
A faint blush appeared on her face, but she did not pull away, allowing the man to hold her hand.
“If it were just the Qing Ling Sect, how could they possibly stop me?” Cheng Ying mused inwardly. If this was just a brief journey together, then she would let him indulge this once.
“When I finally realized that your departure had its reasons, I couldn’t stop thinking of you. Even in my dreams, I saw only you. Even if you hadn’t appeared this time, I would have found you eventually!”
The emotions buried deep within him finally poured out. Xiao Yufan feared that this reunion might vanish like a fleeting dream.
“I missed you too—so much, so very much!”
Her beautiful eyes brimmed with tears, and though she tried to hold them back, they flowed freely. All this time, she had endured her loneliness and longing alone.
Finally finding an outlet for her emotions, she allowed herself to cry freely. Leaning gently on Xiao Yufan’s shoulder, Cheng Ying felt a deep sense of happiness and comfort. Even if this moment wouldn’t last forever, she cherished it deeply.
Inhaling the faint fragrance of her body, Xiao Yufan felt a warmth in his eyes. Men don’t easily shed tears unless deeply moved. Beneath that tear-streaked, breathtaking beauty, how many hidden secrets lay buried? His heart twisted painfully…
No matter what, Xiao Yufan would never let Cheng Ying go. Their love had endured so much hardship—how could he bear to let her face everything alone? Now, he had the strength to protect her, to shield her from every storm, and never let her suffer again…
