“Good, if it’s really as you say, it doesn’t matter if I agree.” A moment later, Yu Rumeng seemed to have made up her mind as she stared at Chang Tian, “You’d better not try anything funny.”
Chang Tian smiled lightly, “This matter concerns the future of this continent, how could this King be careless?” Tilting his head, he looked towards Yu Rumeng and said, “Then it’s settled?”
Yu Rumeng let out a light snort and didn’t comment, but Chang Tian knew that she had already agreed to his proposal. After all, not only would this matter not be a loss to her, it would even benefit her greatly.
Walking over to Yang Kai, Yu Rumeng held his hand and gently said, “Come with me.”
Yang Kai followed her instructions and walked side by side with her. He didn’t fly out and just strolled through the jungle, listening to the sounds of birds and insects.
Behind him, the Lian Sisters stared at the backs of the two of them in amazement. Although they had all known that Yu Rumeng valued Yang Kai greatly, they had never imagined that their relationship would be so intimate. Disregarding their status and cultivation, this man and woman were clearly each other’s partners.
Could a Demon Saint fall for a human? Even though this human had the bloodline of the Holy Spirit…
The forest was filled with lush leaves and towering trees that were as thick as a person’s arms. There were no outsiders around, and Yu Rumeng no longer had the dignified aura of a Demon Territory Saint Venerable. Like a little woman, she leaned her head on Yang Kai’s shoulder, her expression tranquil. She was in no hurry to speak, and Yang Kai didn’t ask her anything. This moment of peace brought a rare sense of enjoyment.
“This is good,” Yu Rumeng’s fingers interlocked as she smiled.
“En?” Yang Kai lowered his eyes to look at her, his mouth touching the soft hair as a sweet scent wafted over.
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “This is really good, if only we could continue like this.”
Yang Kai raised his hand and pinched her delicate nose, “If you want, we can put everything aside and find a place to live in seclusion.”
Yu Rumeng couldn’t help laughing, “We’ve already had a failed seclusion, do you want to try again?”
The last time couldn’t be count, Yang Kai felt somewhat guilty. Just as he was about to say something, Yu Rumeng suddenly lifted a finger and placed it on his lips, whispering, “If one day I do something wrong to you, will you hate me?”
Is it here? Yang Kai’s heart trembled as he recalled Bei Limo’s provocation and Brigh Moon’s warning, a smile appearing on his face as he gently asked, “Such as?”
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “No such thing, but if such a day ever comes…”
Yang Kai paused, and Yu Rumeng had no choice but to stop and look at him curiously.
Stretching out his hands and holding Yu Rumeng’s shoulders, Yang Kai stared straight into her beautiful eyes and slowly said, “No matter what you do, I won’t blame you, let alone hate you.”
Yu Rumeng’s pupils suddenly shrank, as if she had been struck in the heart by something, her beautiful eyes filled with a misty light. Pursing her red lips, she stood on her tiptoes and held Yang Kai’s face with both hands, taking the initiative to approach him.
The soft touch instantly made Yang Kai feel like he had fallen into a swamp, unable to extricate himself…
After a long time, Yu Rumeng suddenly grabbed Yang Kai’s hand and pushed it towards his chest, glaring at him, “You’re acting weird again!”
Her cheeks were rosy and tender, and at this moment, the Demon Saint, who was originally a Succubus, released an indescribable temptation. Yang Kai felt his throat go dry as he felt like he was about to lose his rationality.
Biting the tip of his tongue, he suddenly sobered up.
Yu Rumeng placed her hand on her chest and breathed heavily a few times before slowly calming down, but the blush on her face did not disappear as she whispered, “Wait a moment, I’m not ready yet.”
If one’s strength was inferior to another’s, it would not be good, and they would not be able to take the initiative. Even if a few sweet words could make the other party dizzy, in the end, all of their efforts would be for naught.
Seeing Yang Kai’s depressed look, Yu Rumeng changed the subject, “I need your help with something.”
“If there’s anything between us, just say it.”
Yu Rumeng pursed her lips and smiled, “What if I make you do something difficult?”
Yang Kai shrugged, “You know I can’t refuse you.”
These words undoubtedly made her very happy. Standing on her tiptoes, she lightly kissed Yang Kai’s cheek.
Was this a reward? Yang Kai was quite annoyed.
“Chang Tian wants you to stay in the Hundred Spirit Continent, so I agreed.”
Yang Kai frowned, “Aren’t you afraid he will try to harm me?”
Yu Rumeng slowly shook her head, “If he really wanted to harm you, he would have done so before I came here, so there’s no need for him to delay until now. Moreover, you also said before that he don’t seem to have any malicious intent towards you.”
“That’s right,” Yang Kai nodded, “When I went out with that Hei Lian to investigate, I was near a World Gate. At that time, if I wanted to leave, she wouldn’t have been able to stop me.”
“That’s right,” Yu Rumeng suddenly changed the topic and sent a voice transmission, “Chang Tian’s lifespan is running out.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai was startled and stared at Yu Rumeng, “How did you know?”
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “This isn’t a secret among the Demon Saints, everyone knows that his lifespan is extremely short. In fact, with his current cultivation and background, such a situation shouldn’t have occurred. It’s just that in his early years, he had suffered many injuries and lost his vitality, so we speculate that he can at most live for another two or three thousand years.”
Two or three thousand years, to some ordinary people, was a period of several dozen lifetimes. Even for cultivators who had achieved great success in their cultivation, two or three thousand years was too short for a Demon Saint.
“What does this have to do with me staying in the Hundred Spirit Continent?” Yang Kai frowned.
Yu Rumeng continued, “Didn’t you hear him say that he intends to take you in as his adopted son? Because of Chang Tian, the Hundred Spirit Continent’s relationship with us Demon Saints isn’t very good, and once he perishes, the Hundred Spirit Continent will definitely be divided up between the twelve Demon Saints. All the living beings living here will have a bleak future ahead of them. Those who don’t have a high cultivation may be able to survive, but those who have reached the Demon King Realm will either have their cultivation crippled or be executed, or have their Souls branded as slaves. With the Holy Spirit being so arrogant, how could it be willing to become someone else’s slave? So the most likely scenario is that if Chang Tian dies, the Hundred Spirit Continent will definitely be bathed in blood. At that time, how many Holy Spirits will be able to survive? Chang Tian spent his entire life fighting for the Hundred Spirit Continent and finally managed to separate this continent from the territory ruled by us Demon Saints, allowing him to seize a place in the entire Demon Territory. How could he bear to watch as the Holy Spirit’s land disintegrated?”
“So he wants to take me as his adopted son and train me to become his successor?”
“That’s right! The Hundred Spirit Continent doesn’t have any suitable inheritors right now. You have the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, so naturally you can obtain Chang Tian’s favor. Two or three thousand years may be enough for you to grow, but it’s still a hope.”
“Did he personally tell you all this?” Yang Kai frowned slightly. Chang Tian was one of the Demon Territory’s top masters, so how could he so easily convince Yu Rumeng?
Yu Rumeng smiled lightly, “I know what you’re thinking, but these are indeed his own words. Of course, there are some things I also know. There’s no need to doubt his intentions. To him, you and I are one, sharing both honor and disgrace. If he wants to work hard on you, he won’t be able to avoid me. If he can convince me not to interfere, it will also be beneficial to him. All he wants is the stability of the Hundred Spirit Continent and the safety of the Holy Spirit here. If you can really take over the Hundred Spirit Continent in two or three thousand years, you will be able to satisfy his wish. At that time, with me supporting you, the other Demon Saints won’t make things difficult for you.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai nodded, understanding why Yu Rumeng was so interested in this matter. Although this was Chang Tian’s wish, it was also beneficial to Yu Rumeng. Once Yang Kai took over the Hundred Spirit Continent, she would basically have a share of it.
Obtaining control of the Hundred Spirit Continent without any bloodshed was something the twelve Demon Saints had been unable to accomplish for many years.
“Then… what does he want me to do?” Yang Kai asked.
Yu Rumeng said, “The first reason he had you kidnapped was because he wanted you to seal all the World Gates.”
Yang Kai raised his brow, “Seal the World Gate?”
“That’s right,” Yu Rumeng stroked her long hair, “Since you can repair the World Gate, you should be able to seal it.”
Yang Kai was silent for a moment before nodding, “It shouldn’t be difficult.” Although he had never done such a thing before, as long as he thought about it carefully, he should be able to seal the World Gate without any problems. This method was completely different from repairing the World Gate, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.
“Once the World Gate of the Hundred Spirit Continent is sealed, this continent will lose its connection with the Demon Territory, and the entire continent will become a safe haven for all the Holy Spirits. In this way, even if the sky turns dark, us Demon Saints won’t be able to do anything to these Holy Spirits.”
“That may not be the case,” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, “There’s nothing wrong with this World Gate. Although I can seal it, if It encounter a powerful force, they may be able to break the seal and reveal the World Gate again. If he really does that, he will only be shooting himself in the foot.”
Ordinary people might not be able to break the seal, but the power of a Demon Saint’s attack was boundless, so Yang Kai wasn’t confident he could use his seal to block it.
“Is that so?” Yu Rumeng tilted her head towards him.
“It’s very likely, after all, I’ve never tried it before. Of course, it’s also possible that the World Gate was broken along with the seal…” Saying so, Yang Kai was shocked. If Chang Tian’s initial plan was to allow him to seal the World Gate, then after sealing it, he would definitely not be able to leave the Hundred Spirit Continent.
Chang Tian would never allow someone who was proficient in the Space Laws to remain outside. He secretly sighed. Fortunately, he had the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, otherwise this trip would have been quite troublesome.
