Chapter 2950: Secret Arrangements
"Weren't we supposed to, after beating the Demon Race, you go home?" Ye Liuyun felt a headache when he saw Qin Mengxi didn't want to go home.
Qin Mengxi even argued with him: "You yourself said back then, if I performed well and could adapt to combat, you would keep me."
"These past days I've been diligently cultivating, fighting desperately, performing well every day. My combat power isn't lacking; on what grounds do you let me leave!"
As Qin Mengxi kept speaking, she began to sob bitterly, clinging to Liang Xue and still sniffing while blaming Ye Liuyun: "You were the one who promised to take me out, then you threw me away, making me search for you for so long… After finally finding you, I've devoted myself to cultivation, fought the Demon Race desperately, not fearing hardship or death, just to stay by your side, and you still try to drive me away… Do you hate me that much?"
Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and the other women came over to comfort her, and also urged Ye Liuyun: "She's already endured so much hardship to follow you and has been desperate enough; why don't you just keep her?"
Ye Liuyun didn't know whether Qin Mengxi was truly crying or which woman had suggested this method, but he was at a loss for dealing with women, so in the end he could only leave it to Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng. He himself returned to his duplicate's Space World to accelerate cultivation.
Through the final battle with those ancient demons, Ye Liuyun realized that his various strengths were still far from perfected, and many others remained stronger than him. Even his once‑proud Soul and Bloodline Power were outclassed. Consequently, he felt a sense of crisis and needed to return to seize time for improvement.
The women gathered, discussed Qin Mengxi's situation, then ordered soldiers to launch a spirit cat Warship, hurrying to the Qin Family. They all decided to keep Qin Mengxi, but before leaving, they let her at least go home to visit and greet her family so they wouldn't worry.
Qin Mengxi only agreed to return home after receiving assurances from Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng. Otherwise she feared Ye Liuyun would toss her aside and run off again.
In fact she had long missed home and wanted to tell her family, so they wouldn't worry. She just kept it bottled up, unable to speak.
Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng also felt that after this series of continuous battles, the women had undergone ample forging and could relax a bit. Their rush to the Qin Family was taken as a short rest.
Moreover, besides Qin Mengxi, women such as Lin Feier, Lin Xueying, Qi Tianyue, Lan Ruo Bing and others had been waiting for Ye Liuyun. Some of them seldom join battles, their realms advance slowly, and they rarely have chances to meet or converse with Ye Liuyun.
But they usually help with various tasks, organize resources, and have been waiting for Ye Liuyun. Though they don't say it aloud, Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and the others feel a bit guilty and think Ye Liuyun should give them a status.
So this time they even arranged for Qin Mengxi to be assigned to Ye Liuyun. Qin Mengxi is also fiercely devoted to Ye Liuyun, disregarding her own safety, enduring countless hardships to find Ye Liuyun, and, to stay with him, training and fighting desperately, never daring to go home; the women were all moved by her actions.
Thus Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng stepped forward, talked with these women, urging them to seize the opportunity. The women readily agreed. At first Qin Mengxi felt a bit embarrassed, saying she wasn't mentally prepared.
Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng told her: "You've caught the chance this time, so you've gotten a huge benefit. Do you know how many years some women have been waiting for him?"
"You've also seen how busy he is each day, with battles never stopping. If you don't seize this chance yourself, he would never even think of it. We can't guarantee when another turn might come for you."
During this period, Qin Mengxi listened to the women discuss Ye Liuyun a lot and learned his nickname "Wooden". She felt she should be bolder, seize the chance, and agreed. Matters concerning the women were especially easy for them to communicate.
After confirming these matters, Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng planned a major rest, taking all the women into account, striving to help Ye Liuyun attend to every woman's feelings, and even planning to return to see Xuan Yuan Ling and Liu Yunyao, as well as Xiao Yunfang and Meng Qingyin in the main army, preparing to arrange all the women at once.
Then Liang Xue and Wu Qingcheng covertly contacted Yu Xiaofeng, first inquiring about the progress of the various armies; learning they still wanted more training, they realized the timing was right and wouldn't delay Ye Liuyun's major affairs. They then asked Yu Xiaofeng to arrange leaves for Xiao Yunfang and Meng Qingyin, having him prepare extra personnel, and also to contact Xuan Yuan Ling and Liu Yunyao. The women were all bustling happily.
Ye Liuyun had been kept in the dark, never asking which direction the Warship was heading, and only when his cultivation was sufficient did he learn the Warship was heading to the Qin Family.
These days, together with his two duplicates, he spent each day refining Mysterious Origin, battling Skeleton Puppets, often ending up battered all over and needing to return to Life Spring Water to recover.
Moreover, besides his Physical Body and Mysterious Origin, he patrolled his own Space World, devouring the Souls of some troublemakers, thereby boosting his Divine Soul Power.
The Blood King's blood fiend's Bloodline Power was also absorbed by him and his duplicates, raising the three of them's Bloodline Power by a huge margin.
This boost in Bloodline Power also gave him a different sensation, as if the bloodline could breathe on its own while circulating, automatically merging with Heaven and Earth Power to temper and elevate itself.
"From now on, the Bloodline Power can slowly improve on its own!"
After feeling the change in his Bloodline Power, Ye Liuyun suddenly realized that his Bloodline Power might have already reached the level of the Unified Realm ahead of schedule.
He summoned Li Daoyuan to verify this, but Li Daoyuan's Bloodline Power was far weaker and could offer no reference, so he gave up. In any case, any increase in strength is a good thing for him.
During this period, he also had Lin Luoyi specially forge many pills that condense Bloodline, Soul and Physical Body, to prevent absorbing too many chaotic forces that would make them insubstantial.
The reason he halted cultivation was that his various strengths had been sufficiently refined; the rest he must cultivate slowly himself. Besides refining Mysterious Origin, the Heaven and Earth Power, Spatial Power and Time Power are also key focuses for his improvement.
When Ye Liuyun emerged, he asked about the direction of travel, learned the women had decided to keep Qin Mengxi, and now intended to take her home for a farewell, no longer opposing her staying.
He himself had no choice with Qin Mengxi; she had already said that if he didn't take her, she would go to the Alien Battlefield herself. Moreover, since the women all agreed, his opposition would be useless.
