In Yue Mingkong's perception, Ye Yun was an extremely domineering person.

  Previously, he had expressed his love for her and even said something very excessive—that from now on, if anyone other than himself touched Yue Mingkong, Ye Yun would kill them.

  This btant threat made Yue Mingkong loathe Ye Yun for a time.

  But now, Yue Mingkong found herself unable to dislike him at all.

  Recalling what had just happened, Yue Mingkong blushed involuntarily, her heart racing.

  Feeling a bit anxious, Yue Mingkong couldn't help but ask a question.

  "Can I... can I go back?"

  She wanted to return, to go back to the Yue Family.

  With a sliver of hope in her heart, she wished Ye Yun would agree to her request.

  Upon hearing this request, Ye Yun's expression turned slightly cold.

  "Didn't you hear what I just said? I've already told you, from now on, you are mine. Since you are mine, you should stay by my side.

  Go back? Don't even think about it. From now on... you can only stay by my side."

  Ye Yun had no habit of letting go of what was already in his grasp.

  Moreover, Yue Mingkong still had so many Fate Points on her; Ye Yun needed to exploit them well to gain more Vilin Points.

  These cold words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Yue Mingkong, instantly sobering her up.

  She then remembered that she had been sent to Ye Yun by her father, so how could she possibly go back?

  Even if she did go back, would the people in the family accept her to stay?

  Returning would make her like a ticking time bomb; no one would feel at ease.

  Thinking of this, Yue Mingkong's heart was filled with bitterness, and she nodded helplessly.

  "I... I understand."

  She now realized that she had no way to resist Ye Yun.

  Apart from complying with Ye Yun, she had no other path to take.

  Moreover, the man in front of her was unpredictable; he seemed to be doting on her just now, but in the next moment, he turned cold.

  This guy, which side of him is real, and which side is fake?

  Yue Mingkong couldn't guess, nor did she know how to guess.

  "Young Master, Madam has something to discuss with you."

  At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside.

  Hearing that his mother Yun Yao was looking for him, Ye Yun didn't know what it was about.

  "You can go to the backyard yourself. Xia He and Qiu Lan will teach you what to do."

  After saying this, Ye Yun walked past Yue Mingkong and left the main hall.

  After Ye Yun left, only Yue Mingkong was left in the main hall.

  She looked at the spacious and luxurious hall, feeling a bit at a loss.

  She had just been left here, so what should she do next?

  Yue Mingkong remembered that Ye Yun had instructed her to go to the backyard to find Xia He and Qiu Lan, so she didn't hesitate and headed towards the backyard.

  When she arrived at the backyard, she was deeply struck by the scenery and prosperity there.

  She saw many rare celestial herbs and materials, which were merely used as decorations.

  It was known that any of these items would be fiercely contested by small families.

  But here, in Ye Yun's pce, they were not worth mentioning.

  Comparing oneself to others only brings frustration, and Yue Mingkong felt a bit disheartened.

  Small families fought desperately for certain resources, but in the eyes of big families, such things were easily obtainable.

  The gap between them was too vast to bridge.

  At this moment, Yue Mingkong suddenly saw two very beautiful women, whose figures and appearances were not inferior to her own.

  As Yue Mingkong arrived, Xia He and Qiu Lan naturally noticed her.

  Just now, Ye Yun had used the Secret Voice Transmission Technique to tell them about Yue Mingkong.

  So, the two of them were quietly waiting for Yue Mingkong's arrival.

  As for Yue Mingkong, Xia He and Qiu Lan didn't have much affection for her, and even felt some dislike.

  It was because of Yue Mingkong that Ye Yun lost control to demonic cultivation and eventually fainted.

  In their eyes, if it weren't for Ye Yun's good fortune in waking up successfully without any aftereffects, they would have surely taught Yue Mingkong a lesson.

  "Are you Yue Mingkong?"

  Facing Yue Mingkong, Xia He's expression was slightly cold.

  Even though Yue Mingkong was now Ye Yun's person, Xia He didn't think much of her.

  Standing beside Xia He, Qiu Lan was the same, her delicate face icy cold.

  Seeing the cold expressions of these two, completely different from their earlier cheerful demeanor, Yue Mingkong, being smart, could naturally guess what was going on.

  It was obvious that her arrival had displeased them.

  "Two... sisters, Young... the Young Master asked me to find you."

  She initially wanted to directly call Ye Yun by his name, but as soon as she uttered a word, she was silenced by Xia He's cold gaze and quickly changed her address.

  "Hmph! If it weren't for the Young Master, you wouldn't have walked into this courtyard alive today. It's fine, we won't do anything to you.

  Since the Young Master has said that you are his person from now on, we won't bully you.

  However, let me make it clear, no matter what the Young Master asks you to do in the future, you must do it well, without any mistakes. Remember, no mistakes!"

  Xia He's tone was firm and unquestionable.

  Under the eaves, one has to bow their head. Although Yue Mingkong wanted to retort, the words stopped at her lips.

  She finally responded with one word.

  "Yes."

  She couldn't refute Xia He's words.

  What Ye Yun did in the main hall just now, and his sudden coldness afterward, had already made it very clear to Yue Mingkong not to resist Ye Yun.

  She didn't know what the consequences of resistance would be, but she feared the outcome wouldn't be good.

  Afterward, Xia He and Qiu Lan began to teach Yue Mingkong the things to pay attention to while living in the Ye Family.

  Although they disliked Yue Mingkong, Xia He and Qiu Lan wouldn't act against their words.

  Simply because it was Ye Yun's request, they had to complete it earnestly.

  ...

  On the other side, Yue Qingshan was currently focusing on breaking through.

  The effect of the Exploding Pill made Yue Qingshan feel as if he was in unbearable pain.

  He felt as if all the meridians in his body were about to explode, and his skin turned a flushed red, his whole body slightly engorged.

  With veins bulging on his forehead, Yue Qingshan gritted his teeth and persevered, convinced that he could successfully break through and reach the Dao Comprehension Realm.

  Then, with the weapon left by his master, he might have a chance to fight Ye Yun.

  Thinking about winning and taking Yue Mingkong away, Yue Qingshan felt an endless surge of motivation.

  "Ahhh!!"

  With a frantic shout, Yue Qingshan felt the bottleneck that had been holding him back suddenly loosen.
