Chapter 45: My Wife is Ethereal (Part 1)

  The wooden house was silent, and the Sea Dragon stood there stupidly. He never thought that what he had been longing for would be placed in front of him so easily. The scene of meeting Xiao Yao on the top of Jie Tian Peak over a thousand years ago was still vivid in his mind. In his heart, Xiao Yao's position was unshakeable, even Tian Qin had to yield to her. Looking at Xiao Yao's calm and composed demeanor, the Sea Dragon's heart warmed up, his heart that had been battered and bruised from countless setbacks warmed up. His emotions surged out, and he took a step forward, grabbing Xiao Yao's shoulders tightly with both hands. His voice was trembling, yet full of anticipation, his lively heart stimulating his nerves, "Is... is what you said true?"

  Tears glistened in her eyes as she nodded gently, using her own magic to shake off the dragon's hands and slowly snuggle into his broad embrace. She wrapped her arms around his waist and whispered: "Hailong, from now on, I no longer care about anything else. When I lost you, I realized how important love is to me. It surpasses my pursuit of cultivation and obsession. I was really foolish before. From now on, I am not a Taoist master, nor your ancestor. I just want to be your wife, forever your wife. Even if it means I cannot transcend the calamity, I am willing to pay that price." The grievances, troubles, and emotions she had endured for three hundred years erupted like a volcano in this moment.

  He tightly wrapped his arms around the slender body of Piaoyue Daozun, and at this moment, he felt that everything was so unreal, like a dream. At this moment, he seemed to have ascended to heaven, and nothing could compare to the beauty of the present. Piaoyue's love deeply warmed his heart, and all the past disappeared. After thousands of years, he finally got what he wanted most, the love buried deep in his heart re-emerged. Lowering his head, he found those two soft and moist lips, and he kissed deeply, deeply.

  The world spun around them. Two hearts that loved each other were tightly entwined together. The dragon king continuously sought the sweet and fleeting lips, greedily sucking in the elusive love. A faint white glow simultaneously emanated from their bodies, and they, lost in a trance, did not feel that the person's dan at their spiritual platform was slowly rising, and in an instant, it had already risen to their lips. The white light suddenly intensified, and their hearts merged with each other, at this moment there was no distinction between them, under the gentle white glow, they both entered a void state.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but the two gradually came to. They were shocked to discover that at some point, they had ended up lying on the narrow wooden bed together. Feng Yu's slender body was tightly nestled in Hai Long's arms, and his large hands were still wandering inside her clothes. Feng Yu's face flushed with embarrassment as she buried her head in Hai Long's chest, whispering: "Long, you've just entered the unstable realm. It's not suitable, it's not suitable to break through and seek enlightenment. Spare me, okay? Once you reach the middle stage of the Great Dao, I'll do anything for you. I'm your wife, everything about me belongs to you."

  The dragon tightly hugged the ethereal being, his heart filled with tender emotions. He stroked her dark green hair, not saying a word, but quietly inhaling the faint, sweet scent emanating from her body. Their dan Tian continued to communicate silently, in this gentle atmosphere, under the soft glow of the rooftop gemstones, the two gradually drifted into a sweet dreamland, filled with satisfaction.

  At dawn, a red glow appeared on the distant horizon, and clouds and fog occasionally blocked it, but they could not stop the rise of the morning sun.

  ……

  Jie Tian Peak, Jie Tian Palace. Jie Tian Dao Zun was in seclusion when he suddenly seemed to sense something and slowly opened his eyes, calmly saying: "Is it Third Sister who has arrived? Come on in."

  A figure flashed by, and Daoist Xuan appeared before Jie Tian Daoist, bowing to say, "Greetings, Sect Master."

  Tian Dao Zun smiled slightly and said, "We've been fellow disciples for so many years, and now that there are no younger ones around, you're still being too polite. Fellow disciple, I can see that you have a lot on your mind, is something the matter?"

  Piaoyu Dao nodded and took a deep breath, saying: "Shixiong, there's something I need to tell you. Hailong... he's back."

  Tiān Dào Zūn's eyes lit up and he said, "He's back? That's great! Did you ask him where he went for the past 300 years? This kid was favored by Liù ěr Qiānbei, his future prospects are boundless!"

  Piaoyu Daozun let out a soft sigh and said, "He didn't tell me where he went for those three hundred years, and I didn't ask. Eldest brother, what I want to tell you is that I've already made up my mind - I'm going to be the wife of the Sea Dragon."

  "Tiandao Zun's entire body shook violently, and he lost his voice: 'What? Disciple sister, are you confused? Don't forget, you're already at the mid-stage of Douzhan cultivation. You should focus all your mind and body on preparing for the tribulation. At this time, you want to combine with Hailong as a Dao companion? This is unacceptable. Not only will it affect your cultivation, but also... In short, I cannot agree.'"

  "Piaoyu Daozun smiled faintly and said, 'Master brother, you don't need to say anything. I know you've always been good to me, but sometimes emotions are beyond one's control. When I first met Hailong, he was just a child, yet at that time, I had an inexplicable feeling towards him. I'm not sure if my decision is correct, but my heart has already made up its mind. Even if we can't be together in the future, I won't regret it. Do you remember when Hailong gave me the magical artifact? At that moment, I was already deeply in love with him. Later, he disappeared, and I really regretted not accepting his feelings earlier. Master brother, I'm sorry, but my decision is final.' With that, Piaoyu Daozun slowly knelt down to the ground."

  His long robe fluttered constantly on his body, and his eyes flickered with complex emotions. He had deeply liked this junior sister since he and Xiao Yu entered the Lianyun Sect not long ago. However, Xiao Yu was so cold to everyone that she never gave him a glance. Moreover, the seniors opposed their combination as Dao companions, so he could only put this love in his heart. Now, when he was about to pass the tribulation, Xiao Yu told him this news, how could his heart be calm? Time couldn't dilute everything. True love couldn't be forgotten. He sighed deeply and said, "Junior sister, I actually knew it a long time ago, your heart no longer belongs to you. I've been watching clearly how you spent these hundreds of years, since you've made your choice, I won't say anything more. Congratulations."

  Tears streamed down her pale face as she knew that Tiān Dào Zūn was genuinely good to her, but her heart already belonged to Hǎi Lóng. Slowly standing up, Liǔ Yuè bowed her head and said: "I'm sorry, Shī Xiōng, I have to leave. When you're going through your tribulation, no matter where I am, I'll definitely come back to help you. I'm sorry, Shī Xiōng."

  In the early morning, Hong Zhi and Xiao Ji Ling anxiously waited. Hai Long had been gone for a whole night and still hadn't returned, casting a shadow over their hearts. Both of them looked gloomy and didn't say a word, just sitting there waiting. After all, Hai Long had a "record" before, how could they not worry? Moreover, when Hai Long left last night, his complexion wasn't very good either.

  The little demon sprang up, furious: "I've had enough, I'm going to find that bastard Ha Long on Floating Peak. He's been gone for a whole night and still hasn't come back. This bastard is really infuriating me."

  "Hong Zhi frowned and said: 'Little clever one, calm down, wait a bit longer.'"

  "Be calm? How can I be calm. This bastard has just come back, and in just one day, he's playing hide-and-seek with us again. If I find him, watch me deal with this guy."

  "Who wants to catch me! It's true that in the mountains there is no old tiger, and the monkey becomes the king. I want to see how you, this dead monkey, plan to catch me." A flash of gold light, and suddenly Haicheng appeared beside Xiaojiling, pinching its neck and not letting it escape. Xiaojiling said sternly: "I'm going to deal with you now, what about it? You little brat has been gone for a whole night, don't you know that others will worry about you?" After finishing speaking, he subconsciously closed his eyes, waiting for Haicheng to use his familiar method to knock on its head. Unexpectedly, the expected blow did not come, and with a light touch on its neck, it was already put on the ground.

  Hailong stood in front of Hongzhi and Xiaojing with a apologetic smile, saying: "I'm sorry to have worried you. I really couldn't get away from something important! Forgive me this time."

  Hong Zhi smiled and said, "Big brother, looking at your rosy complexion and the radiant glow on your forehead, it's clear that something good has happened. Quickly tell us, let us share in your joy."

  Hai Long smiled and said, "It's still Xiao Zhi who understands me. It's indeed a good thing. I've already made up my mind. We'll set off now to find the whereabouts of Lao Jun Lu in Shen Zhou and have some fun at the same time. Are you all satisfied now? However, we have an extra companion." Xiao Jing was taken aback and asked, "An extra companion? Who is it?" Hong Zhi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hai Long with a strange expression without saying a word.

  "It's me." A flash of blue light, a figure in a gray robe appeared before Xiao Jingling, smiled slightly and said: "Welcome?"

  In the midst of that enchanting smile, Xiao Jing's mouth suddenly went dry and he hastily said: "Welcome, welcome! With the presence of Master Piaoyou Dao, how could we not welcome you?"

  Hai Long walked up to Piao Yu's side, chuckled and said: "There's one more thing I want to tell you all, from now on don't call her Dao Zun anymore, call her Eldest Sister-in-law instead. Got it?"

  "What? Eldest Sister?"

  Her face flushed with shame, she lowered her head. The dragon proudly wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said haughtily: "That's right, it's Eldest Sister-in-law. Fei Yan has already become my wife, isn't that making her your Eldest Sister-in-law?"

  Hong Zhi and Xiao Jilong stared at each other, although Hong Zhi had already guessed some of it, but he didn't expect Hailong and Piaoyu Daozun to develop so quickly, in just one night, they had already...

  "Big brother, this can't be true. Am I dreaming? Is the Ethereal Daoist really willing to marry you? This is impossible."

  "Hai Long snorted and said, 'What's impossible about it? I'm also a second-generation disciple now, we're of the same generation, becoming dao companions is a very normal thing. You're just jealous! Unfortunately, you're a monk, haha.'"

  Looking at the proud and carefree appearance of Hailong, a soft feeling arose in his heart. At this moment, Hailong had regained his joy, as if he had returned to his former self from over a thousand years ago. Smiling, he said: "I really didn't expect that what you said back then on the Heavenly Peak would become reality. For us cultivators, getting together is simple; all it takes is one word from our master. Just now, I went to the Heavenly Peak and reported this matter to Master Zong, and he has agreed. From now on, Hailong and I are officially Dao companions. The Five Elements Maze Boots that Hailong gave me are the betrothal gift."

  Hai Long grasped Xiao Yu's hand tightly and said, "You will always be my wife. Don't worry, my love for you will never change. I love you, Xiao Yu, forever."

  Hong Zhi suddenly started coughing violently, causing Hai Long and Piao Yu to look at each other in surprise. Hong Zhi said with a hint of jealousy: "I'm telling you, big brother and sister-in-law, you should be more mindful of the impact! I and Xiao Jiling are both lonely people, if you keep stimulating me like this, who knows, I might get anxious and become ordinary."

  Hailong burst out laughing: "You, still the same old self, nothing's changed except you haven't broken your vow of celibacy. What haven't you done? You don't look like someone who cultivates Buddhism at all."

  "Alright, let's go. According to the news my disciples brought back a few days ago, Lao Jun has appeared in Li Tang State. We'll go there and see if we can gain anything." Xiao Jiling blinked her eyes and leaned in close to Piao Yu, saying "Elder sister, my cultivation is inferior, you're so powerful, take me with you."

  Before the words were finished, the sea dragon had already kicked the little clever one into Hongzhi's arms and scolded with a smile: "You dead monkey, don't come. Let Xiao Zhi take you away. Want to take advantage of my wife? No way."

  Xiao Jingling wanted to flare up, but looking at Hailong's ferocious face, he could only helplessly say: "Dead Hailong, your desire for war is too strong. I didn't even say I wanted to snatch your wife."

  Hongzhi knocked on Xiaojiling and said, "Alright, stop talking nonsense. We can finally leave, so be quiet for a bit. I'm suffocating from being stuck on this mountain. Let's go." With a flash of light, he pulled Xiaojiling onto a yellow auspicious cloud. Hailong and Piaomiao exchanged a smile, and golden light burst forth as they chased after them under the effect of Hailong's magic. During last night's exchange of spiritual energy, Hailong's injuries had miraculously healed, and his powers had recovered by 70%. When he woke up, his cultivation had already been restored. Although neither he nor Piaomiao's cultivation had increased much, both of them felt like they had gained something extra.
