Chapter 990: Take Responsibility to the End

After a while, Ling Shuang finally gathered courage and sent a Transmission Voice to him: "Haven't you seen enough? Turn around quickly and let me put on my clothes and come out!"

"Oh!" Ye Liuyun only then reacted, turning his back.

But here, not to mention his Space World, even his Divine Sense could clearly see Ling Shuang's every move.

"Is this not a bit of self‑deception?" he thought, silently mocking Ling Shuang's lousy idea.

Ling Shuang actually had no choice. Within Ye Liuyun's Space World, there was no way to evade.

Moreover, what needed to be seen had already been fully observed by Ye Liuyun. She made Ye Liuyun turn around only to ease her own mind.

After Ye Liuyun turned around, she emerged from the water, used True Essence to evaporate the moisture on her body, and immediately put on clothes.

But after taking out the veil, she hesitated for a moment, clutching the veil in her hand.

She had been wearing the veil all along before.

Now, suddenly not wearing it, Ye Liuyun realized she was about to cause trouble!

Wu Qingcheng became his woman precisely because of the veil issue.

"Could Ling Shuang, just because I saw her completely, have decided on me? But logically, after seeing someone's body, I should be responsible for her. Yet how do I explain this to Xue'er and Wu Qingcheng…?"

At this moment, Ye Liuyun's mind began a fierce internal debate.

"What do you plan to do?"

Sure enough, a shy questioning voice from Ling Shuang came from behind.

Ye Liuyun's head suddenly buzzed, and even his thoughts stalled.

"My engagement to the Holy Son of the Demon Race is entirely a dynastic arrangement; there is nothing between us! Moreover, I told you I don't want to marry him!"

Seeing Ye Liuyun silent, Ling Shuang thought he was concerned about her engagement with the Holy Son of the Demon Race.

"I can swear that besides you, I have never had feelings for any other man!" Ling Shuang added.

Ye Liuyun's mind was a tangled mess at that moment.

He originally didn't want to involve Ling Shuang, but fate kept teasing him repeatedly, as if it insisted on pairing him with Ling Shuang.

In the Martial Cultivator world, it is quite normal for the strong to take several wives and keep many concubines.

But in his situation with Ling Shuang, even if Ye Liuyun refused Ling Shuang, he wouldn't be blamed. After all, his purpose was to rescue, and he did nothing to Ling Shuang.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and simply told Ling Shuang about his several women, then also explained the problems he faced, including the Underworld God's death curse, to Ling Shuang.

Then he said to Ling Shuang: "That's the situation. I already have many women, and some are in mortal danger. If you don't mind, I will be responsible for you to the end."

This time Ye Liuyun didn't choose to refuse outright, after all he had indeed seen Ling Shuang completely.

He gave the choice to Ling Shuang, letting her decide herself.

Ling Shuang, however, said firmly: "Even if you go to your death, I will stay by your side. I can follow you without any title! If the dynasty forces me to marry that Demon Race monster, I will declare my resolve with death. My heart, my person, can belong to only you!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun understood that Ling Shuang had set her sights on him.

So he also promised Ling Shuang: "Rest assured, since you've chosen me, I will never let you marry anyone else!"

Hearing this, Ling Shuang finally threw herself into his arms excitedly. "I've been waiting for these words for a long time!"

Ye Liuyun also knew she had long hoped that Ye Liuyun would accept and protect her.

"Sorry for making you wait so long! Actually, even if you're not my woman, I will still do my best to help you!"

"That's different!" Ling Shuang wiped happy tears with Ye Liuyun's lapel, rubbing back and forth like a child.

After a while, she stood up and said to Ye Liuyun: "Then I won't wear the veil anymore! With a man, I don't need to wear a veil. I can't not let you see me!"

Ye Liuyun laughed: "Even when you wear a veil, I can still see you! My Golden Pupil can see through!"

"You… from now on, you mustn't look at me carelessly!" Ling Shuang, recalling being fully seen by Ye Liuyun, blushed again, clenched her fist and lightly pounded Ye Liuyun's chest.

Then she whispered lightly: "Whether I wear the veil or not, the meaning is different!"

"Hmm!" Ye Liuyun replied, giving her the freedom.

"Shall we go out? They must be getting impatient by now!" Ye Liuyun suggested.

"Has that Black Shadow toxic gas monster been eliminated?" Ling Shuang only now remembered to ask if the monster was gone.

"Eliminated!" Ye Liuyun, hearing her ask, realized she hadn't absorbed what he initially told her.

So he recounted again the process of Ling Shuang's injury and his rescue of her.

This time Ling Shuang truly listened and understood how she was injured.

Regarding the events before Ye Liuyun arrived, Ling Shuang also narrated them to Ye Liuyun.

Then the two of them finally left Ye Liuyun's Space World.

Outside, Yuan Datou and the others had already restored their True Essence.

At this moment, Yuan Datou was growing impatient, swaying back and forth in front of Qiong Qi, making Qiong Qi dizzy.

Finally, Qiong Qi directly used a Formation to envelop himself, disappearing from sight.

He also took out the Ten Thousand Poison Heart Sutra to study, discovering that the technique could indeed be cultivated.

After cultivation, even if not using poison to harm others, it at least guarantees the cultivator is immune to a hundred poisons.

Moreover, the technique is truly remarkable; although not as exaggerated as Black Shadow claimed—reaching Divine Rank level—it isn't far off.

"It's perfect for that kid's clone to cultivate!"

After memorizing the technique, he put it away, intending to give it to Ye Liuyun.

He himself will, when he has time, cultivate until he can resist poison.

Yuan Datou, upon seeing Ye Liuyun and Ling Shuang emerge, finally calmed down.

"I told you, boss, you were definitely fine!"

Yuan Datou first comforted himself, then immediately noticed Ling Shuang wasn't wearing a veil.

"Huh, Ling Shuang, why aren't you wearing a veil? It looks good like this!"

It was still his first time seeing Ling Shuang's true face.

Ling Shuang was asked by him until her face turned completely red.

"No need to ask, it's definitely that kid got her!" From behind Yuan Datou, Qiong Qi's heckling voice rang out.

"Hahaha, I thought you kid only knew how to subdue ferocious beasts, but I didn't expect you also have a knack for taking women!" Li Qingyun, seeing Ling Shuang's expression, also guessed and couldn't help joining the heckle.

Ling Shuang blushed furiously, wishing she could slip into a crack in the earth.

Ye Liuyun let out a laugh: "Elder, you mocked!" Then immediately changed the subject, asking Qiong Qi: "Did that poison leave any treasure behind?"
