Xiao Yin tried to figure it out but couldn't understand how Ming Aoshuang, who was like an ice sculpture, could come to like a man she was at odds with in just over ten days.

Her doubt wasn't misplaced; she simply didn't realize that Fang Zhou and Ming Aoshuang had been on the same boat together for more than three years, not just a dozen days.

Besides, there's something called getting on the bus first, then buying the ticket.

Fang Zhou and Ming Aoshuang first had a close relationship and then slowly developed feelings.

This kind of situation is hard at the beginning, but later it's as easy as a landslide.

Ming Aoshuang knew Xiao Yin was referring to Fang Zhou and nodded in acknowledgment: "It's him. I don't want anyone to know about this, so don't spread it around."

Seeing Ming Aoshuang admit, Xiao Yin could still hardly believe it, even feeling a strong sense of absurdity.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Aoshuang, are you serious about this? Fang Yuanhang isn't just any guy!"

Fang Yuanhang and Yu Qing are obviously in a romantic relationship, and he's the president of the Male Right Association, having close ties with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Any one of these identities is not trivial; Ming Aoshuang's action is simply digging into Yu Qing's turf, stealing Heavenly Sword Sect's True Inheritor's man.

Once this deeds are exposed, it'll be a matter of face for Heavenly Sword Sect and Piaomiao Mountain, and none will get away unscathed.

"Don't worry, he's not an ordinary man; as for whether I'm serious…"

Ming Aoshuang's gaze was firm, "I'm willing to marry him… no, I'm willing to be married to him."

Seeing that the proud Ming Aoshuang was even willing to marry into another family, Xiao Yin couldn't help but gape.

In her mind, there was only one thought — Fang bro, truly amazing, how do you do it?

This kind of brainwashing isn't even that powerful, right?

...

The strong in brainwashing, Fang Zhou, was heading to the central area of the twentieth floor to meet up with his other companions as agreed.

This Refining Immortal City no longer piqued his interest, but he had to wait half a month more before he could leave.

After meeting with his companions, he planned to find Ling Xiaoyue, a woman suspected to come from modern civilization like him. Fang Zhou had many questions to ask her.

Arriving at the central teleportation array on the twentieth floor, Fang Zhou saw two familiar figures.

Yu Qing and Han Li.

Seeing Yu Qing, Fang Zhou couldn't help but feel somewhat guilty.

He had given Yu Qing too many green hats, which was not really good. Hopefully, she would be strong when she finds out the truth in the future, having the broad mind like the protagonist in her novels.

Of course, Fang Zhou hoped Yu Qing would never find out, but unfortunately, other women definitely wouldn't be content.

As Fang Zhou appeared, Yu Qing and Han Li both smiled and said in unison, "You're here!"

After saying that, the two exchanged a glance, and their eyes were meaningful, as though filled with a powder keg's tension.

Fang Zhou instantly felt a headache; indeed, if there's initial conflict between two women, it's almost difficult for them to reconcile later on.

Fang Zhou hoped the two would act together, making their relationship more harmonious, but now it seemed merely wishful thinking.

"Have you found the Enlightenment Zen Grass?"

Fang Zhou could only change the topic to prevent another verbal battle between the two.

Enlightenment Zen Grass is a herb that only blooms inside Refining Immortal City, and this was Han Li's main purpose of coming here.

Han Li nodded, "Already found it, thanks to Taoist Yu Qing's help."

Yu Qing also replied with a smile, "No need to thank me, you'r e Fang Zhou's friend; it's what I should do to help you."

Regarding Yu Qing's declaration of true sovereignty, Han Li just chuckled without directly confronting her.

At this moment, Fang Zhou was somewhat grateful for the winds of male humility and female superiority.

Under normal perceptions, it's likely these two girls would be forcing Fang Zhou to make a stand.

But in the aura of female superiority, the girls would first vie among themselves for victory, while Fang Zhou was merely the trophy.

Fang Zhou's personal opinion wasn't very important, avoiding the awkwardness of being forced to take a stand.

Yu Qing stepped forward, holding Fang Zhou's hand, worriedly asking, "Have you resolved the matter with Ming Aoshuang?"

Yu Qing intended to help, but Fang Zhou decided to resolve it himself. Over the half month, Yu Qing had been worrying incessantly.

Fang Zhou looked normal but felt quite embarrassed inside, "Yes, it's resolved, of course."

Not only was the matter resolved, but the person was also taken care of as well.

Yu Qing sighed in relief, smiling, "That's good, but you need to be careful. I'm afraid she might pester you in the future."

Fang Zhou could only vaguely respond, not daring to be too clear, lest Yu Qing see through him.

"You seem nervous?"

Yu Qing said strangely, "Did something happen?"

With Fang Zhou's current level, controlling his body and emotion is easy, but Yu Qing nonetheless detected something amiss with her female intuition.

Fang Zhou was startled, trying hard to maintain his expression, "Some surprises, but all resolved now."

Yu Qing seemed not to notice anything out of ordinary, yet still held Fang Zhou's hand.

Han Li, at the side, kept her eyes on Fang Zhou and Yu Qing's interlocked hands, her gaze flickering with thought.

This awkward atmosphere persisted until the arrival of the Vengeance Alliance Four-man Squad.

The four were dressed in unified black robes with red clouds, and hats, leaving Yu Qing and Han Li dumbstruck.

This spirited group adhered strictly to the Hierarch's instructions, never taking off their clothing to avoid triggering the death-certain undress curse.

Fang Zhou quickly had the four remove their clothes to avoid being seen by outsiders; it wasn't time to expose this publicly yet.

The next group to arrive was Wu Lin and the Hulu Brothers, judging by their joyous expressions, they likely had a pleasant time over the half month.

Wu Lin and Cheng Xing instantly focused their gaze on Yu Qing holding Fang Zhou's hand.

Wu Lin secretly clenched her teeth, Cheng Xing pretended not to see, neither daring to act out publicly.

Everyone had gathered; seemingly one person was missing, but it wasn't important.

With fifteen days before leaving Refining Immortal City, Fang Zhou planned to take them for a stroll above the twentieth floor.

With his current strength, he could protect this group completely, as long as they didn't venture above the twenty-seventh floor.

Han Li was quite surprised to see the Hulu Brothers; she thought these monsters had been killed, not expecting Fang Zhou to have them under his wing.

The Hulu Brothers didn't have much of an impression of Han Li, having long forgotten about this old sidekick from Fang Zhou's side.

The Hulu Brothers chattered around Fang Zhou, particularly the younger ones, excitedly recounting their exploration in Refining Immortal City.

This Refining Immortal City had already become a large amusement park, with thrills and excitement, yet nothing truly dangerous anymore.

Fang Zhou was puzzled about Refining Immortal City gaining such a huge reputation in the Cultivation World. Perhaps it was the Righteous Alliance's unwavering propaganda over the years.

Just when he was about to take everyone away, suddenly a circle of red light appeared around everyone, Fang Zhou included.

"What's this?"

The youngest, Seventh Brother, looked confused, and then vanished with a swoosh.

Next was the sixth brother, fifth brother, and fourth brother, one after the other, all followed suit and vanished.
