Chapter 707: Golden Dot
Translator: Timothy_ Editor: GlobeGlotter
Ci Xi Town, Yu family.
A middle-aged man and Yu Yuyan sat in the study, discussing something. He was Yu Yuyan's father, Yu Sheng.
“I didn’t think Liao Wei could be so cruel. He took the woman and burned her husband, leaving no body behind,” Yu Sheng said. Yu Yuyan shook her head, despite hating Ye Mo. Although she had achieved her goal, she had offended Martial Brother Guan. She didn't have much love for Martial Brother Guan, but he was an inner sect member, and a connection to him would provide her with support.
Regretting her actions, Yu Yuyan calmed down and carefully considered her next move. She could simply explain to him. After all, her virginity could easily be verified. The only pity was that she could cultivate much faster alongside Mo Ying. If he hadn’t died, it would have been good to keep him.
Yu Sheng thought for a moment. “I think that Mo guy is no ordinary person. Think about it: ever since he fell into your scheme and was taken for interrogation, he’s acted suspiciously. Even when facing certain death, he remained calm—he even said something shocking. Then, he took his wife and left. Liao Wei sent people after him, but they never caught him.”
“Dad, are you saying Mo Ying might not be dead?” Yu Yuyan asked, shocked. “Should I send people to check again?”
Yu Sheng shook his head. “I’m not sure if he’s dead, but one thing’s for sure: he’s not simple. I don’t think he would die so easily.”
Yu Yuyan nodded dubiously. Something else was unusual. When they were drinking in her bedroom, he was fine with the first bottle. But as soon as he started the second, he was immediately drunk.
Seeing his daughter lost in thought, Yu Sheng said, “We shouldn’t worry about them. Our family has stayed in this town so long because of our influence. Your brothers are useless; I have no hope of them joining hidden sects. All our hopes rest on you. You must seize your opportunity at Shang Qing Mountain.”
Yu Yuyan nodded, understanding her father's meaning. She was pretty, and even if she couldn't become powerful herself, she could always bring support to her family.
…
Mu Xiaoyun sensed something strange. She had come to the mountain with her husband. She had clearly seen him carrying only two bags, and she knew their contents, so she didn’t understand how he had produced so many items. There were even solar-powered stoves.
Her husband said he brought them from the outside world, eliminating their need for firewood.
Besides that, there was a huge tent. Her husband was truly capable. Not only had he dug a huge cave in the mountain, but he’d also placed the tent inside. What shocked her most was that he seemingly materialized a bed. She almost thought her husband was a god.
Mu Xiaoyun had expected a difficult month in the mountains with Ye Mo, but it proved far more comfortable than home.
After witnessing Ye Mo easily kill a wolf, she felt completely safe.
It was the third day. Mu Xiaoyun lay alone on the bed, lost in thought. She had expected the first day to be…that day, but after her husband had made all the arrangements, he simply sat cultivating every night. This worried and unsettled her. Today, he dug a huge cave and said he needed to cultivate something important and shouldn’t be disturbed.
It was the third day at Beizi Mountain, and Ye Mo had fully recovered. His power had also increased slightly. He was confident that with the right opportunity, he could reach stage 6 immediately.
The first thing Ye Mo did after recovering was take out the three golden pages. He wanted to examine them.
He carefully removed them and placed them before him. His concern that they would emit blinding golden light didn’t materialize. They appeared as ordinary paper.
Ye Mo examined them thoroughly, but found nothing unusual. After half an hour, he concluded that, besides being unrippable, the scripts were unremarkable. He tried using his spirit sense, but it couldn’t penetrate the paper.
Disappointed, Ye Mo scanned all three pages simultaneously to look for minor differences.
Unexpectedly, this seemed to create a connection between the three scripts. His head buzzed, and his spirit sense erupted like a breached dam.
The three golden pages floated in the air, seemingly consuming his spirit sense.
Ye Mo was shaken. If this continued, he would lose his spirit sense, possibly becoming an idiot. He desperately tried to retract his spirit sense, but it was beyond his control. His cultivation essence also began to pour out.
Simultaneously, Ye Mo spat a mouthful of blood onto the golden paper. The pages, which had been drifting away, immediately fused together, shining like the morning sun.
Ye Mo collapsed, unconscious. The last thing he saw was a golden ray entering him.
…
When Ye Mo awoke, he was in bed. Mu Xiaoyun, curled up like a cat, lay in his arms.
Ye Mo tested his spirit sense and found it intact. His cultivation essence was also full.
But he clearly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness. He scanned their cave, finding it empty. The golden pages were gone.
Where were they? Ye Mo checked his body and immediately found a golden spot atop his dantian. Were these the pages? Why had they become a golden dot? When Ye Mo scanned the dot with his spirit sense, he couldn’t penetrate it. He tried to remove it, but it wouldn’t budge.
Ye Mo gave up on studying the golden dot. Just as he was about to get up, he saw tears in the corners of Mu Xiaoyun’s eyes. Her hands clutched his clothes tightly, as if fearing he would vanish.
Ye Mo sighed. He saw his underwear had been changed, his body cleaner than after using a dirt removal spell. Mu Xiaoyun had washed him.
He realized that since arriving, he’d been absorbed in cultivation, neglecting her. Yet, she never complained; she seemed to live only for him.
Looking at her, Ye Mo reached out and enveloped her. Overwhelmed by affection, he gently kissed Mu Xiaoyun’s lips.
Mu Xiaoyun was startled at first. Then, understanding her husband had awakened and was kissing her, she suppressed a cry of excitement and eagerly returned his kiss.
