"Woah..."
"Woah."
Yunlongfortably sat on the couch with a calm expression while his maid surrounded him, looking at his new eye-catching appearances.
Chu Xiaoyu had been observing Yunlong from all sides, and her yellow eyes clearly shone with curiosity.
The other maids also have the same thoughts as Chu Xiaoyu''s, even Xue Nu, who immediately sensed ominous force within Yunlong''s body.
Meanwhile, Gu Yuena was sitting in front of Yunlong with a solemn expression stered on her face. "Exin..." She silently demanded.
"Simple version or Complete version?" Yunlong naturally returned while looking at Gu Yuena''s eyes, which shone with silver gleam.
"Tell me everything." Gu Yuena crossed her arms because Yunlong''s sudden change was too absurd.
Yunlong nodded a little and nced at his maids briefly because they were clearly curious.
He sighed inside and told them everything about Evil God''s curse, even the part when Qian Renxue helped him with her curse-cleansing technique.
In the corner of his eyes, Yunlong could see his four maids had a surprised expression on their faces.
Chu Xiaoyu''s expression was rather nd like usual, but her eyes quivered slightly.
Yu Ning''er bit her lips in awe because she''d never thought Qian Renxue took advantage when she wasn''t even here.
Zhu Zhuqing''s heart throbbed violently for some reason, yet it wasn''t from jealousy but rather her pride.
Bai Xue was the calmest of the four because she didn''t overreact beside her mouth that opened for a second. "I knew it..." She wryly smiled.
"I see..." Gu Yuena muttered solemnly.
She didn''t expect such action would lead to this enormous transformation because even though she knew Essence Sharing or Dual Cultivation was quitemon in the past, it''s rare to see changes like this.
However, Dual Cultivation usually strengthens user and partner''s cultivation, which wasn''t the case in this situation.
Gu Yuena didn''t care much about Yunlong having a sexual rtionship with Qian Renxue.
She was more invested in how his dragon blood could reach almost dragon god''s quality in terms of aura.
Gu Yuena wondered briefly and immediately ended with a simple conclusion. "Yunlong... Your physique must be special." She abruptlymented while gazing into his chest.
"Is that why I felt something weird, and my blood seemed pressured for some reason?" Xue Nu muttered, to which Gu Yuena responded with a casual nod.
"Here." Yunlong suddenly pricked his finger and sent a drop of blood at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena hurriedly caught it with her hand and saw a goldish drop of blood float above her palm. It released an intense dragon''s aura, which left her speechless for a moment.
"This is the same... No, it''s more potent than mine." Gu Yuena muttered while observing the blood.
Xue Nu squinted her eyes and curiously stared at the blood, which was the same sensation she sensed all this time.
"Well, I already exined it. Now excuse me." Yunlong said while moving his gaze to his maids, except for Xue Nu.
Xue Nu still has a lot of time to understand her role and himself more, so he doesn''t have to rush her feelings and loyalty.
"Let''s go." Yunlong gently smiled at them, to which his maids responded with a nod.
They slowly walked out of the wooden house and were greeted by Chu Yunxi, who had a calm expression on her face.
"Good afternoon, young master." Chu Yunxi smiled warmly at him.
Yunlong looked around and asked, "Mhm, where is my mother?"
"Mistress had to attend the tournament ceremony so that she could open the event." Chu Yunxi naturally answered, which caused Yunlong to frown because loud cheers echoed from the spirit hall pavilion.
"Whatever... Yunxi, follow me." Yunlong sighed while walking away to the hidden training ground.
They shortly arrived at the stone-paved field, and Yunlong turned around confidently, gently looking at his maids, who had been on his side for quite a long time.
"I have to say something." Yunlong opened his mouth slowly.
"I couldn''t love all of you, evenly."
"Some of you might or are already disappointed in me."
"Young master, I-." Yu Ning''er raised her head and wanted to say something, but Yunlong shook his head to stop her.
"Let me exin first." Yunlong sighed because he should have told them sooner about this.
"I couldn''t give all of you the exact equal love I give to my mother."
"I cherished all of you."
Yunlong stared at them andmented, "Ideally, I can''t give you the same interest I have for my mother."
"You are a different person from her..."
"However, each of you is special for me in a different way, which is the reason why you have a ce in my heart." He gradually smiled at them
"Chu Xiaoyu''s eagerness."
"Yu Ning''er who has a great sense ofpetition."
"Bai Xue''s love for alchemy."
"Zhu Zhuqing''s secret hard work, yes I know you''re pushing your limit behind my back."
"Finally, Chu Yunxi''s willingness."
"All of you are important to me."
After hearing Yunlong''s statement, they are quickly overwhelmed with warmth within their hearts.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn''t help but lower her head in shame because Yunlong actually knew her hard work. She wanted to reach his level as fast as possible after all.
Even though Yunlong didn''t monitor them directly, his clone always observed them from afar.
He would see Chu Xiaoyu trained alone in a cold room with a sword in her hands. Her slim figure would dance in the darkness, and coldness pierced through the room.
Yu Ning''er has been struck by lightning a few times but firmly resisted them with sheermitment and will.
Zhu Zhuqing trained the hardest out of the four and destroyed her leg muscle almost every single day. She''d woke up at four every morning and honed her ability untilte evening or even night sometimes.
Bai Xue delved more into her alchemist''s skill in the past months. She created over a hundred new pills and failed at least a thousand times.
Meanwhile, Chu Yunxi will take a beating from Bibi Dong every time she fought her. She usually would end with a loss where she couldn''tnd a single hit yet will always lift her way back to fight.
They have worked hard and clearly deserved a reward, so Yunlong pricked his finger again.
"It''s your choice. You can stay on my side forever or leave me without any consequences." Yunlong naturally showed them five drops of golden blood.
"Young master, that blood." Bai Xue opened her mouth while looking at him.
Yunlong moved his gaze to Bai Xue and answered, "It''s my Essence Blood. My previous blood only strengthened your foundation."
"This will cause some huge improvement and connect us."
Without any further ado, they firmly walked forward with a calm expression on their faces.
"Are you sure?" Yunlongstly asked, to which they responded with a nod.
They had decided a long time ago to follow Yunlong, so changing their decisions now wasn''t an option for them.
"Absorb it." He added while flowing the essence blood at them.
Zhu Zhuqing caught the golden blood with her hands, which caused her entire body to shiver. She released a cold sweat and quickly sat cross-legged on the field.
The rest quickly followed Zhu Zhuqing and naturally meditated to absorb Yunlong''s essence, except for Yu Ning''er.
Yu Ning''er felt her thunder spear release a throbbing sensation inside her and absorbed the essence blood into her body.
"Uugh." Yu Ning''er felt her entire body be warm at a fast pace.
"Need help?" Yunlong said while approaching Yu Ning''er, who raised her hand suddenly.
"I''m okay, thanks for asking, young master." Yu Ning''er smiled and gritted her teeth slightly.
Yunlong slowly shook his head, and three red spirit rings appeared behind him, leaving five of them speechless.
He gently patted Yu Ning''er on the head and used Harmony Flow, which caused any unbnced force within the body to be calm in a matter of a second.
"This..." Yu Ning''er abruptly feels nothing but calm inside.
"Don''t be too harsh on yourself." Yunlong chuckled while walking to the other maids.
A few minutes have passed, Yunlong naturally observed them and didn''t find any problem at the moment.
''Should I check the opening ceremony?'' He suddenly thought.
Yunlong performed a few hand signs, and a clone appeared out of white smoke.
--- Spirit Pavilion''s Hallway ---
Liu Erlong was walking toward the arena through the hallway and weirdly saw Yu Xiaogang wandering around.
She tilted her head for a second and indifferentlymented, "That wasn''t the way to the arena."
Yu Xiaogang clearly heard this and slowly turned his head around, simr to a thief who got caught for some reason.
"L-Liu Erlong, what are you doing here?" Yu Xiaogang immediately questioned, which caused her to frown.
Liu Erlong crossed her arm and coldly returned, "I''m working here, so I should be the one who asked that."
Yu Xiaogang''s steps stopped when hearing Liu Erlong''s cold tone because she was never mad at him, but now she''spletely different.
"Wait, you worked here?" He responded with a shocked expression.
"Yes, and I want to see you walk out of this hallway now." Liu Erlongmanded while walking away.
Unaware of the danger, Yu Xiaogang quickly chased over Liu Erlong, who already had a piercing cold gaze.
Yu Xiaogang tried to grab her slender hand from behind, but someone suddenly caught his hand.
"Don''t touch her," Yunlong said while standing between them.
Yu Xiaogang frowned and saw a handsome young man firmly standing in front of him. He possessed a pair of red eyes and long dusky silvery hair tied in a ponytail.
"Who are you? I''m her friend, and you can''t stop me." Yu Xiaogang calmly said, which caused Liu Erlong''s mouth to twitch in annoyance.
"Friend..." Liu Erlong''s cold eyes released a fiery hue.
Yunlong smirked and answered, "I''m her superior, which means she''s mine."
"Now leave this ce or..." He briefly increased his grip strength.
Crack!
Yu Xiaogang''s eyes widened in awe because he didn''t expect this young man to hurt him.
"You''re a scum, grandmaster," Yunlong whispered indifferently. "Not only did you steal the spirit hall''s knowledge, but you also cheated two women."
"What a man you are."
"Ugh... my hand." Yu Xiaogang briefly nced at Yunlong''s smile, whichpletely looked like a devil''s smile.
Yunlong released his arm and walked away with Liu Erlong, leaving Yu Xiaogang alone in the quiet hallway.
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth while looking at his injured hand, which was slightly twisted.
"Who''s that young man....?" He solemnly muttered.
