What’s wrong with my voice? Who broke my secret technique? Why have I returned to my true form?” The mysterious woman blinked, stunned. She first looked at her hands, then touched her face—her complexion turned instantly pale, yet her voice had become unexpectedly sweet and melodious, utterly unlike Lady Yin’s original tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman quickly pulled a small bronze mirror from her bosom, gazed into it, and froze in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss, are you Elder Yin?\" Wang Yu blinked and asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s over. This Illusion Transformation Art can only be used once. Once broken, it can never be restored. The one-time artifact Yu Bin Tian used must have had a dispelling effect—otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.” The woman ignored Wang Yu entirely, staring at the mirror and muttering to herself, her voice brimming with despair and frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough, cough… Miss… this fellow Daoist, could you explain? After all, I did save your life and carried you a long way.” Wang Yu, helpless, cleared his throat and asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You saved me?” The beautiful woman finally lowered the mirror, regarding Wang Yu with suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I did… at least I contributed half the effort.” Wang Yu answered without a hint of guilt, confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I remember, I finally clashed with Yu Bin Tian and we both suffered heavy injuries, then fell into Qiankunzi’s hands. Tell me—how did a pseudo-cultivator like you drive off a Qi Condensation late-stage expert?” The beautiful woman glanced at Wang Yu, her tone half-amused, half-skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Snap”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu pulled something from his bosom and tossed it before the beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her beautiful eyes flickered over it—and for the first time, surprise appeared on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible. This thing is… could Qiankunzi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The object was a golden, gleaming ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct. Qiankunzi is dead. I didn’t kill him, but I witnessed it myself.” Wang Yu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman fell silent, her jade-like face shifting between dark and light, but after studying Wang Yu intently for a moment, she spoke a sentence that nearly made him jump out of his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must take responsibility for me. From today on, you will join our Yin family as a son-in-law. You are now my husband, Yin Linglong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Why should I join the Yin family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saved your life. You forgot? If I hadn’t guarded you and given you the last remaining Shi Yuan Fluid from our Yin family, you’d have failed your bloodline awakening and turned into a monster.” Yin Linglong spoke coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I saved your life too. We’re even.” Wang Yu shook his head vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You groped me all over for so long just now. I’m a pure, virtuous noblewoman—how could I marry anyone else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Yin Linglong ripped open the sleeve of her arm with a sharp “tear,” revealing a smooth, ivory-white arm—and at the upper shoulder, a vivid red spot stood out clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cheng Gong Sha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu, dazzled by the sudden white expanse, felt his throat dry and muttered uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t believe me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Linglong raised her delicate eyebrows, her beautiful eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe it! Of course I believe it—I’ve just never seen one before!” Wang Yu jumped, forcing a nervous smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Yin Linglong’s expression softened slightly, but her voice remained cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Though the Yin family has few left, we once produced Foundation Establishment experts and still maintain ties with immortal sects. If you agree to join us as a son-in-law, the Yin family can recommend you to an immortal sect—you’ll have a chance to become a sect disciple. Hmph. If you refuse…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I accept.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu suddenly interrupted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really accept?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin Linglong froze, unable to believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can’t think of a reason not to. A wife this beautiful, and a chance to join an immortal sect—why wouldn’t I accept?” Wang Yu replied without hesitation, utterly confident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beautiful woman stared at Wang Yu, fell silent again, and after a long while, spoke once more:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To join our Yin family, I require you to agree to one condition—as my dowry. Will you accept?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What condition?” Wang Yu blinked, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You don’t need to know what it is. I only require that, one day in the future, when I ask for it, you won’t refuse—and it will be something easy for you to do, nothing that will trouble you.” Yin Linglong spoke slowly, her beautiful face solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, if you become my wife, your matters are my matters. Not just one—ten, I’d agree. Done.” Wang Yu laughed heartily, accepting instantly, as if the matter meant nothing to him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1104,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dd68dc06e16a849abb6e1249f75345bee0873c1fe5125c436c0a89e8437fe19a","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-37","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-35",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
