31: Chapter 31: Earning the honorary title of "Having finally won one heart, to stay together until old age."
Cao Yang regained his senses, picked up Su Xuan, and planted a firm kiss on her cheek.
Su Xuan asked, puzzled, "Junior Brother, what's wrong? Why are you so excited? Are you alright?"
Su Xuan looked worried.
"I'm fine, Second Senior Sister. You really are my lucky star; you've helped me a great deal."
The look of excitement on Cao Yang's face did not fade for a long time.
One had to know that after the System upgraded, obtaining check-in opportunities became increasingly difficult. While task rewards for check-ins had increased, they were still not as fast as a daily check-in.
Gaining nearly a thousand check-in opportunities all at once—how could Cao Yang not be excited!
Hearing Cao Yang say he was fine, Su Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she hadn't done anything, so how had she helped Brother Yang? Never mind, it was enough that she had helped.
As for that honorary title, Cao Yang hadn't had the chance to check it yet.
He hurriedly sent his consciousness into the System space to take a look.
Honorary Title <Once You Win One's Heart, You Shall Never Be Parted Until Death>: When an individual of the opposite sex sees the host for the first time, their favorability increases by 10 points, unaffected by Realm.
Although this honorary title was not as overbearing as the Charm Heart, being unaffected by Realm made it quite good. It meant that even a beautiful Immortal Emperor would feel a mysterious sense of affinity toward Cao Yang upon seeing him.
"Second Senior Sister, you should switch your Cultivation Technique first; I will act as your Protector." Cao Yang withdrew his Divine Sense from the System space and said to Su Xuan in his arms.
"Alright."
Su Xuan sat cross-legged and began to Cultivate, while Cao Yang watched her from the side, not leaving her side for even a step.
Fearing any unforeseen events, Cao Yang kept his Void-Breaking Immortal Eye running constantly; after all, that Bloodline Seal was too strong.
As her Cultivation accelerated, the small flame within her Bloodline flickered. A small flame also appeared on Su Xuan's forehead, but it weakly extinguished and retracted back. Fortunately, the switch to the new Cultivation Technique had succeeded.
Su Xuan opened her eyes, a brightness in them. "Junior Brother, my Cultivation speed is faster, and my spiritual power has turned into a fire attribute; its power is much stronger than before."
"Mhm, not bad. After all, it is an Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique, so it is naturally stronger." Cao Yang nodded in satisfaction.
Cao Yang made up his mind that in the future, he would make those who harmed Second Senior Sister pay a painful price!
After all, Second Senior Sister was the first person whose favorability reached 99, earning him a huge reward.
...
At the same time, in a Star Domain within the endless Void Realm, on a massive planet, an old man radiating divine light suddenly opened his ancient, profound eyes. Two beams of divine light shot from his eyes, piercing through the endless Void Realm.
In a magnificent, golden palace, a youth of the Dragon Clan wearing a black robe and exuding an unruly aura slowly opened his eyes. Sharp light flickered in his gaze, as if he could perceive everything. He said in a low voice, "Come here!"
As his voice fell, a pair of identical Dragon Clan twin sisters walked in. They were dressed in gorgeous long gowns, with graceful figures and stunning beauty, like two brilliant pearls. They knelt on one knee and respectfully said, "Young Lord, what are your orders?"
Long Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing up the two beautiful women kneeling before him, and a satisfied smile gradually curled the corners of his mouth. He marveled inwardly that the two attendants his father had prepared for him had actually reached the Upper God Realm. As long as they took another step and reached the True God Realm, he could utilize their Taiyin Divine Physique to take his own cultivation to the next level.
Moreover, these two attendants were not only powerful, but in this Divine Domain, they were top-tier existences in terms of both beauty and Aptitude. He had long coveted them, and now he finally had the chance to take them for himself. Thinking of this, Long Yan's mood became even more pleasant.
"Ling'er, Mei'er, you are to secretly head to the Azure Divine Domain immediately, find this woman, and eliminate her. Remember, you must completely extinguish her true spirit; you must not leave any future trouble behind." Long Yan took a portrait from his bosom and handed it to the two.
Ling'er and Mei'er took the portrait and carefully examined the woman on it, a trace of killing intent flashing in their eyes. They replied in unison, "As you command, Young Lord." Afterward, they stood up and turned to leave the palace.
Long Yan watched their departing backs, a smug smile appearing on his face. He believed that with Ling'er and Mei'er's strength, they would certainly complete the mission smoothly. And that woman would become the stepping stone for him to ascend to the True God Realm.
Just now, while in seclusion, he had suddenly received a notification from an Elder saying that someone was shaking the Seal from back then and telling him to deal with it as soon as possible.
Back then, his Aptitude was Heaven-Defying, and he possessed the legendary Primordial Ancestral Dragon Sacred Physique. His own Old Ancestor and the Old Ancestor of the Phoenix Clan had arranged a marriage between the two families in order to form an alliance.
Fortunately, his fiancée's Aptitude was also Heaven-Defying; she possessed the pure-blooded Ancient Phoenix Bloodline. Both of them had broken through to the Lower God Realm early on and were hailed as Prodigies rarely seen in a billion years.
But who knew that later, for some inexplicable reason, his cultivation stagnated for a thousand years, and his Realm even dropped from the God Realm. His treatment fell from heaven to earth, and he became a well-known piece of trash among the younger generation of the Dragon Clan; even his own father did not care for him.
Meanwhile, Feng Yanran had long since broken through to the True God Realm and joined the Divine Realm's only Baichuan Holy Academy, taking a Vice Dean as her Revered Master.
Long Yan should have been happy, but who knew if Feng Yanran had learned the news that he had become trash, she had suddenly come to break off the engagement with her Revered Master in tow.
From then on, Long Yan became the laughingstock of the Divine Realm. The Dragon Clan also believed that Long Yan had brought shame upon the Dragon Clan and treated him even worse; everyone could bully him, and his status was not even as good as a servant's.
Long Yan attributed all of this to Feng Yanran, whom he had only met once, and he gnashed his teeth at her, hating her to the bone.
Under Long Yan's meticulous design, he spent several priceless treasures he had collected to invite two clan Elders. When Feng Yanran was out alone, they lured away her Protector, crippled her cultivation, Sealed her ancient Bloodline, and threw her into the Abyss of God Burial.
It was said that the Abyss of God Burial made life worse than death, allowing the true spirit to be completely extinguished through countless cycles of Reincarnation!
Long Yan was inherently a ruthless and vindictive person.
After his cultivation stagnated, there were people criticizing him everywhere. Even the followers who usually flattered him betrayed him. If it weren't for having a Clan Chief as a father, he would have died countless times already.
Fortunately, his Realm recovered later. He assumed it was due to his Physique; otherwise, his father could not have failed to find the reason.
After this, Long Yan appeared to have improved a lot on the surface, but what others didn't know was that he was still the same person as before, perhaps even more sinister. It was just that he acted in secret and handled things thoroughly, so he had never been discovered.
Long Yan really couldn't understand; having been thrown into the Abyss of God Burial, how could she still be alive?
However, he was not worried. Even if Feng Yanran's Aptitude was Heaven-Defying, with her Bloodline Sealed, he reckoned that in a mere four hundred years, she certainly hadn't reached the God Realm yet.
Sending his two attendants, who were at the Upper God Realm, was enough.
