"Hmph! Ye Chen, you finally came back. Do you know how long our lady had been waiting for you?" In the lavishly decorated palace, the black-clothed girl Zhu'er glared at Ye Chen with extreme dissatisfaction.

After all, her lady was a disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land! Her time was incredibly precious.

However, in order to meet Ye Chen, she had waited for such a long time.

Even Zhu'er felt it was not worth it on behalf of her lady.

In her opinion, Ye Chen couldn't even awaken his bloodline; he would never be able to help her lady in the future.

Such a person was simply not worthy of her lady wasting so much time.

"Zitong, it's really you." Ye Chen's gaze was firmly attracted to Shangguan Zitong, and he froze in place as if he hadn't heard Zhu'er's words.

Although he hadn't seen Shangguan Zitong for over a dozen years, he could still instantly recognize her.

Her features hadn't changed at all from what he remembered, still as flawless as ever, practically like a piece of art.

And her figure had become gracefully elegant as she grew up, exuding a sacred aura, almost like the Nine Heavens Profound Lady descending to the mortal realm.

"Ye Chen, it's been a long time. Have you been well these years?" Shangguan Zitong's dark eyes stared closely at Ye Chen, a bright smile involuntarily appearing at the corners of her mouth, as beautiful as a blossoming lily, breathtakingly lovely.

"Alright, at least I'm still alive." Ye Chen couldn't help but smile self-mockingly.

These years, he had gone through way too many things.

His mother was killed, his father disappeared, even the bloodline within him was cruelly taken by Ye Lin'Er.

In this world, it's hard to find anyone more miserable than him!

But now, what's the point of saying these things!

He wasn't someone who needed to evoke sympathy from others.

Especially in front of Shangguan Zitong, he'd rather not mention these matters.

That would make him appear quite pathetic.

"Eh? Is this Mana, Ye Chen? You've actually developed Mana, how is this possible?" At this moment, Black Elder's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes wide with disbelief.

He could sense a faint mana fluctuation emanating from Ye Chen's body.

This meant that Ye Chen's cultivation had already stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm.

"Impossible, Ye Chen, do you have some Secret Treasure that can emit mana fluctuations? Otherwise, how could your cultivation have advanced so much in just over twenty days?" The black-clothed girl's expression instantly froze, looking as if she'd seen a ghost.

She originally thought Ye Chen could become a True Disciple of Overlord Body Peak because of his strong Body Refining Talent.

As for his cultivation, she assumed it hadn't yet entered the Divine Mansion Realm.

But the scene before her completely exceeded her expectations, making her unwilling to believe it.

"I just luckily broke through to the Divine Mansion Realm." Ye Chen said calmly.

"Luck? Are you saying that your cultivation has truly entered the Divine Mansion Realm?" Zhu'er's face immediately turned fiery, almost as if she had been publicly slapped.

She simply couldn't understand how Ye Chen, who couldn't even awaken his bloodline, managed to advance his cultivation from the Second Layer of the Celestial Spirit Realm to the Divine Mansion Realm in just over twenty days.

After all, even her lady didn't have such cultivation speed back then!

Could it be that Ye Chen was fortunate enough to gain a Spiritual Elixir capable of quickly boosting cultivation?

Otherwise, he absolutely couldn't have achieved this step.

"Ye Chen, Zhu'er has already told me about your inability to awaken your bloodline. I came here this time to invite you to return to Ziwei Sacred Land with me. I've acquired a Treasure Pill that can stimulate a cultivator's bloodline. You can use it to try, and I'll personally protect you." Shangguan Zitong suddenly spoke, her tone extremely sincere.

"What? Miss, weren't you going to cancel the engagement with Ye Chen?" Zhu'er's body shook, somewhat disbelieving her eyes.

She originally thought her lady had traveled thousands of miles to this wild land of Cang Province to cancel the engagement with Ye Chen.

After all, she and Ye Chen were no longer part of the same world.

She had awakened the rare Celestial Bloodline, the Cyan Dragon Bloodline, and was a genius disciple of Ziwei Sacred Land.

And Ye Chen?

He couldn't even awaken his bloodline, no matter how high his Martial Arts Talent and Body Refining Talent were, it was useless; he wasn't even qualified to carry her shoes.

Therefore, it was entirely reasonable for her lady to cancel the engagement with Ye Chen.

But now, not only was her lady not canceling the engagement, she was planning to give Ye Chen a Treasure Pill that could activate his bloodline.

This completely exceeded Zhu'er's expectations.

"I never said I wanted to cancel the engagement with Ye Chen. Ye Chen is my fiancé for a day, he will be my fiancé for a lifetime. I will not break my promise." Shangguan Zitong's dark eyes gazed unwaveringly at Ye Chen, her expression determined as if nothing in the world could sway her decision.

Although currently Ye Chen's strength was indeed weaker, having just stepped into the Divine Mansion Realm, and he couldn't offer her any assistance.

But she had a marital engagement with Ye Chen, even if he was just an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, she would never break her promise.

She was such a person.

Over the years, she had rejected the pursuit of many celestial talents precisely because of this.

She was already Ye Chen's fiancée and couldn't do anything to betray him.

"Sigh! Miss, why must you do this! This way, you'll be dragged down by Ye Chen for a lifetime." Zhu'er couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling it was unworthy on behalf of her lady.

The saying goes that forcibly plucking a melon doesn't make it sweet.

If her lady forcefully got together with Ye Chen, not only would there be no happiness, but she would be burdened by Ye Chen for a lifetime.

This wasn't the ending she wanted to see.

"It turns out that Fairy Shangguan didn't come to cancel the engagement with Chen'er but to give Chen'er a Treasure Pill to activate his bloodline. How could there be such a good girl in the world!" Ye Chen's adoptive mother Xiao Hui froze in place, feeling as if it was all a dream.

And beside her, Ye Ming couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his eyes full of joy.

How lucky Ye Chen was to have a fiancée who stood by him persistently.

He truly felt happy for Ye Chen.
