Swallowing the Heavens with a Single Breath - Chapter 3

“Huh? Fairy, you are Leng Yunshang?!”

Xu Yi was shocked once again, but then his surprise turned into joy.

This couldn’t be easier! As long as he harmonized Yin and Yang with her, his life would be saved!

And there was no need to worry about whether she was willing or not.

After all, this fairy had previously been forcing him to make her pregnant.

Suddenly, Leng Yunshang spoke up, “Don’t pin your hopes on me.”

“Why not?”

“I already told you before, unless you cultivate the True God’s inheritance to a profound level, it will be impossible for you to make me pregnant.”

“This is because of my unique constitution. If you cannot cultivate to a realm comparable to mine and then forcefully harmonize Yin and Yang with me, you will undoubtedly die.”

“Huh? Then doesn’t that mean there’s no way out for me?”

Xu Yi was dumbfounded.

Whether he went for it or not, he was dead either way!

He glanced at the remaining eight Heaven-bestowed marriage contracts, now dimmed, and asked sheepishly, “Fairy Sister, does this mean I can’t open any of the other marriage contracts now?”

Leng Yunshang nodded. “That’s right. You’ve chosen me, so you can only form a connection with me.”

“Only when your cultivation reaches a certain realm will you be able to open the second Heaven-bestowed marriage contract.”

“What should I do now…” Xu Yi wore a distressed expression, but before he could finish his sentence, the suppressed evil fire suddenly surged up again.

And this time, it was even more intense than before!!

Leng Yunshang’s face was full of complicated emotions as she slowly approached Xu Yi, murmuring to herself, “Master, back then, I promised to find a successor for you and bear him a child. Then I could step away.”

“But I never expected that I would end up as one of the nine fated heavenly maidens.”

“Master… oh Master, in the end, I couldn’t escape your grand scheme.”

As Leng Yunshang drew closer and closer, Xu Yi struggled to maintain the last shred of rationality. “You… you stay away! I don’t want to die because of you…”

A rare blush appeared on Leng Yunshang’s peerlessly beautiful face. “Rest assured, I finally found an inheritor. I won’t let you die.”

“Although I cannot fully harmonize Yin and Yang with you, as one of the nine fated heavenly maidens, I can at least temporarily alleviate your condition.”

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s whisper. “I… I can use my hand…”

Hearing this, Xu Yi could no longer hold back. He lost control and lunged at Leng Yunshang like a madman.

In that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to change color.

It was as if even the sun had become shy, hiding behind the clouds…

… … … A bashful dividing line … … …

After who knows how long, Xu Yi slowly opened his eyes and found that his pants had been put back on.

“You’re awake,” Leng Yunshang’s melodious voice reached him.

“Fairy… Fairy Sister.” Xu Yi scratched his head in embarrassment.

Although he was half-conscious earlier, he still knew what had happened.

That being said, it had definitely felt amazing!

At this moment, Leng Yunshang had returned to her previous cold and distant demeanor, as if strangers should not approach.

“For now, you are safe.”

“But if you want to stay alive, you must find the second-fated heavenly maiden besides me.”

“But the other Heaven-bestowed marriage contracts won’t open…” Xu Yi was worried, then suddenly froze. “Fairy Sister, do you have any clues?”

Leng Yunshang nodded. “Chu Ling’er, born ten thousand years ago in the Cangwu Kingdom, daughter of the Emperor of Cangwu.”

“She is one of your fated heavenly maidens. If you can find her, you can completely resolve the backlash from the Supreme Chaos Method.”

“This is the only clue I have regarding the other fated heavenly maidens.”

“Cangwu Kingdom?” Xu Yi was shocked. “The Cangwu Kingdom that ruled this land ten thousand years ago?”

“Yes.”

“Where is Chu Ling’er now?”

“That is for you to find out.”

“I understand.” Xu Yi nodded.

His top priority now was to grow stronger and then find Chu Ling’er!

“Yi’er, where are you?! Come out, don’t scare your mother!”

“Young Master! Young Master, where are you?!”

“Not here. Go check over there.”

Suddenly, shouts came from a distance.

Xu Yi slapped his forehead. “Oh no! I’ve been away from home for three days now. Father and Mother must be worried sick!”

“Go home, and remember to search for clues about Chu Ling’er.”

Leng Yunshang’s figure vanished in an instant, leaving only a few words of advice—

“Remember, until you grow strong, do not reveal your extraordinary abilities.”

“Also, I am currently seriously injured. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not be able to help you.”

“Don’t worry, Fairy Sister.”

Xu Yi nodded.

He understood the principle that having a valuable possession could bring disaster.

He blinked and called out to the empty air, “Fairy Sister, what if I face another backlash in the future?”

“Scram!”

Leng Yunshang’s flustered voice came from the void.

“Young Master?”

At this moment, a servant of the Xu family spotted Xu Yi and was overjoyed.

He immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, “I found him! Come quickly, I found the Young Master!”

Before long, a beautiful lady rushed over—it was Xu Yi’s mother, Li Shushen.

She had an angry yet tearful expression. “You child, where have you been these past three days?! Were you trying to make me worry to death?!”

“It doesn’t matter if you didn’t awaken a martial soul or can’t cultivate. You shouldn’t lose hope!”

“If anything happened to you, what would I do?!”

At that moment, Xu Yi’s father, Xu Minghai, also arrived. Seeing that Xu Yi was safe, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He snorted coldly. “What nonsense! Running away from home, making your mother worry so much that she hasn’t eaten for three days!”

Seeing how anxious his parents were, Xu Yi felt a warm sensation in his heart, and his eyes reddened slightly. “Don’t worry, Father, Mother, I’m fine.”

“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters.”

Li Shushen carefully examined Xu Yi from head to toe multiple times. After confirming that he was indeed unharmed, she finally relaxed. “Don’t worry, Yi’er. Your father went to ask your grandfather and got a Vitality Pill for you.”

“With the Vitality Pill, you might still have a chance to become a martial artist. Even if the chances are slim, there is still hope, right?”

Asked Grandfather for a Vitality Pill?

Xu Yi was stunned.

He knew that even in the Xu family, the Vitality Pill was an extremely precious resource.

Moreover, his grandfather had always favored his uncle and cousin.

For his parents to convince his grandfather to give a Vitality Pill to someone who was publicly considered a failure like him, they must have endured a great deal.

Xu Yi clenched his fists tightly, silently vowing that he would never let his parents down!

The group made their way down the mountain and returned to the Xu family.

However, as soon as they entered, a mocking voice rang out. “Our Yi’er is truly something, running away from home. Why didn’t he die out there?”

A middle-aged man, who bore a striking resemblance to Xu Minghai, emerged. It was Xu Minghai’s older brother, Xu Yi’s uncle, Xu Mingqing.

He glanced sideways at Xu Yi, then turned to Xu Minghai and said, “By the way, I just spoke to Father. That Vitality Pill for Yi’er is off the table. He’s a worthless good-for-nothing without a martial soul, and giving him the pill would be a waste.”

“It would be better to give it to my son, Chi’er. He awakened the level-seven martial soul, the Netherworld Wolf, and his talent is unmatched in all of Qingshuang City!”

“What?! I had already discussed this with Father!” Xu Minghai was furious. It was one thing to bully him, but bullying his son was unacceptable!

“And I am still the head of the Xu family!”

At that moment, Xu Yi’s grandfather, Xu Weiheng, appeared, accompanied by Xu Yi’s cousin, Xu Chi.
