Ningning hurriedly took out two pieces of her innerwear from the cabinet before quickly closing the door. “I was about to enter the bath.”

At that moment, Yang Dingtian could smell the unique fragrance that only girls emanated because the cabinet he was hiding in was filled with Ximen Ningning’s clothes. Furthermore, most of them were pieces of innerwear.

“Do you have anything to discuss with me at this late hour?” Ningning asked in a soft tone.

“It isn’t that late. I used to sleep in your bed when I couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of the night,” Yanyan rebutted. “I’d miss your big-white-sheep body and would want to hug you in bed while completely naked. Isn’t that right?”

Ningning’s face turned red immediately. She replied softly, “What are you talking about? Nonsense!”

“We’ve done even more intimate stuff, okay?” Yanyan continued. “It’s too late to start feeling embarrassed.”

“Alright, let’s not discuss this anymore.” Ningning was extremely ashamed because there was a man hidden in this room. She was normally so wise and dignified that it would really be too embarrassing to have all this overheard by some man...

“Okay, back on topic, what did you want to say? I’m going to bathe,” Ningning said.

“Great, let’s bath together.” Yanyan suddenly approached to undress Ningning.

Ningning immediately evaded her. “Stop it. You’re already married. Why’re you still acting this crazy?”

After hearing the word “married”, Yanyan trembled a little bit and stopped trying to lay her hands on Ningning. She sat down on the bed and gently sighed.

Ningning stepped forward and sat next to Yanyan. “Of course, it is really inevitable for there to be arguments between husband and wife. However, how could you say such ruthless words? Plus, Yang Dingtian only wanted to...”

“Sister, can you please stop saying his name in front of me?” Yanyan said. “I really don’t want to discuss him. Please?”

“Yanyan...” Ningning frowned. “He is still your husband!”

“Sister Ningning, I came here because I needed joy and freedom, so can you just stop saying his name, please?” Yanyan said.

After hearing her speak, Ningning suddenly recalled that Yang Dingtian was still hiding in the cabinet. Ningning’s face turned pale when she realized how hurtful it must be for him to hear Yanyan say such ruthless words.

Ningning let out a long sigh. “Yanyan, I know that you think you put in a lot of effort and sacrificed a lot. Am I right?”

Not waiting for Yanyan to answer, Ningning continued, “You’re wrong. What a man needs the most is always his wife’s understanding and support, not her wealth and sacrifice. Each time you give and sacrifice, it looks great on the surface it is not so in reality. In fact, it hurts him. It seems like you’re constantly reminding him that he is incompetent.”

“Yanyan, your kind of selflessness is no different from Dongfang Bingling’s selfishness. Both hurt others. Furthermore, your version hurts even more. Regarding the harm caused by the selfish Dongfang Bingling, Yang Dingtian could at least be angry and hateful. However, the hurt caused by your selflessness can only be borne gently by him. He would have to bear the pain on his own.”

“Sister Ningning, you sound like his confidante. He has said a similar thing before,” Yanyan said.

“Yanyan, he is your husband. This fact won’t change. Do you want to be happy in your life? If you do, then try to love, support, and understand him,” Ningning advised. “The most important thing is that I can feel that he is a man worthy of your love.”

“Happy? I lost all expectations of happiness when I married him. But, what can I do? This is my life. It’s destined. This was all decreed by fate when the incident five years ago happened.”

At this moment, Ningning could only remain silent since she worried that the damage suffered by Yang Dingtian would only increase if Yanyan continued speaking.

“Sister, this would be the last night we can stay together. Do you still want to continue this?” Yanyan asked.

Ximen Ningning was shocked. “What do you mean? Have you decided to go to the Netherworld Sea?”

“Yes, I’ve already decided to leave tomorrow,” Yanyan affirmed. “I have no hope for him. I can only rely on myself to protect Cloud Sky City. In the Netherworld Sea, perhaps they can heal my shattered Xuan veins and bring back my talent from five years ago. Yang Dingtian once said that we can only rely on ourselves. No one else will stand for us. I agree.”

Ximen Ningning trembled. “Only five days. Weren’t you going to wait for him for another five days? He hunted two demon nuclei today and almost lost his life. But, you don’t even give him a chance to prove himself?”

“To hunt five demon nuclei to make a breakthrough. This is all in his imagination. Sister Ningning, you have more knowledge than me. Have you ever heard about this method to break through?” Yanyan asked.

Ningning shook her head gently. She really had never heard of it before.

“From what I know, he is currently just an enlightener with no Xuan energy,” Ximen Yanyan continued. “He has already entered his own world. I can’t wake him up. I tried my best. Also, let’s assume that he can break through after collecting all five demon nuclei. Do you think that he can hunt ice-type demon beasts with his ability as an enlightener? Do you think he can hunt electric-type demon beasts?”

Ningning was again left speechless because there was no possible way for him to do it. He had almost lost his life hunting fire-type demon and wind-type demon beasts.

“Even though he will fail, you should still wait five days for him to do so. Even if everything is only his imagination, you should let him wake up on his own before you leave,” Ximen Ningning argued.

“But the person from the Netherworld Sea is leaving tomorrow,” Yanyan rebutted. “There’s no one who knows where the Netherworld Sea is. If I missed this opportunity, I don’t think there will be another chance for me to find them.”

“So, you’d rather believe in the illusory Netherworld Sea instead of your husband?” Ningning asked.

“I’ve given him too many chances,” Yanyan said. “What’s more, is there anyone who doesn’t trust the Netherland Sea’s capabilities? I think they are more reliable compared to ...”

Indeed, there was nobody who had the ability to see through the Netherworld Sea’s capabilities. The Netherworld Sea was such a unique and mysterious land. There were rumors that said they could even bring back the dead.

Ningning took a deep breath and asked, “Are you sure about this?”

“Yes,” Yanyan said. “You and my mom are the only people I can’t let go. I’m spending the first half of midnight with you and the other half with her. I’ll be leaving for the Netherworld Sea in the morning.

“Then, you can leave now...” Ningning stood up. “If you choose to leave Cloud Sky City, then don’t call me sister anymore. If you can choose to give up on your husband, then I won’t recognize you as my sister.”

“Sister Ningning ...” Yanyan was very shocked. “We’ve been so close since we were children, but now you choose to give up on me just because of this guy?”

“That’s right! Because I choose to believe him. I admire him,” Ningning said. “From the first time the two of you argued, I already took his side. I think he’s doing the right thing.”

Yanyan was totally stunned. Then, she couldn’t help but burst into tears. After staring at Ningning for a while, she said, “Alright, then please help me take good care of him. Take care, sister!”

Then, Yanyan ran out of the room in tears.

“Won’t you see Yang Dingtian one last time?” Ximen Ningning shouted.

Yanyan stopped running and turned. “It’s better for me not to see him.” Then, she continued running. “Sister Ningning, I need you to do a favor for me. Apologize to him for me.”

After Yanyan ran out of the room, Ningning turned and collapsed on her bed, crying in depression.

Yang Dingtian then exited the cabinet and walked towards the bed. He slightly trembled when he saw Ningning’s shoulders trembling non-stop.

Yang Dingtian reached out his hand and patted her soft shoulder.

Ningning turned and hugged Yang Dingtian hard while sobbing. “I’m sorry. I’m sorry...”

Yang Dingtian gently patted her soft back. He was confused regarding why Ningning was apologizing to him. However, he said nothing and continued to comfort her.

After crying for a while, Ningning left his embrace and looked at him with her teary eyes. “Yanyan is making a mistake. I hope you won’t blame her.”

Yang Dingtian shook his head. “Like what I said before, I’ll never blame her no matter what she does. Those words were truly from my heart.”

Ningning suddenly sat up straight. “Yang Dingtian, promise me. Stop her from going to the Netherworld Sea.”

Yang Dingtian thought for a second and said, “If the people from the Netherworld Sea are able to heal her, then this is really would be a good thing for her.”

“It’s not as simple as that. The Netherworld Sea is not necessarily a neutral party. It may turn out to be hell for Yanyan,” Ximen Ningning said. “You promised foster father to protect her. If she goes to the Netherworld Sea, how will you protect her if anything happens?”

Yang Dingtian asked his master in his heart, “Master, shall I stop Yanyan? Do you have any information about the Netherworld Sea?”

Dongfang Niemie was silent for a moment. “Let’s just say that if you owe the Netherworld Sea anything, you’ll never be able to clear the debt even over ten lifetimes. There’s nobody who dares to not pay them back.”

“I know what should I do now,” Yang Dingtian announced.

******

Yang Dingtian didn’t go after Yanyan. Instead, he went to the VIP Pavilion to see the person from the Netherworld Sea, Song Yu.

The VIP Pavilion was located at the top of a cliff. It was built by Cloud Sky City to serve their noble guests.

Yang Dingtian ascended the cliff and entered the pavilion. He encountered Song Yu.

This was a young man with delicate features. He was so handsome that he looked like he was carved from jade. He had a head of long black hair and a strong temperament. He wore a green gown, and his long hair casually draped over his shoulders. He was proud yet natural, elegant and unconventional.

“Yang Dingtian,” Yang Dingtian bowed while introducing himself.

“Song Yu. Why are you here so late at night?” Song Yu calmly asked.

“I heard that your place can heal my wife’s Xuan veins?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“Your wife?” Song Yu showed an uncomprehending expression.

“Ximen Yanyan,” Yang Dingtian replied.

“She is your wife? But, I saw that she was still a virgin,” Song Yu said. He was actually so rude as to comment on Yang Dingtian’s wife status in front of him.

“It’s none of your business,” Yang Dingtian said. “You still haven’t answered my question. Can my wife’s Xuan veins be healed?”
