What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? novel Chapter 280

[In the end, Ye Yu agreed to join the Bai family.]

Only because Bai Yuben promised that, by joining the Bai family of Wangchuan Cliff, Ye Yu would gain unrestricted access to all the techniques within the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion.

The name Wangchuan Cliff Bai Family immediately stirred memories in Ye Yu's mind.

In a previous dream of the Northern Desolate Continent...

Ye Yu had once commanded the Dayong Dynasty to trample on sects.

At the time, he had considered eliminating some of the larger cultivation families as well.

The Wangchuan Cliff Bai family had been on his list of possible targets.

But after crushing those sects, Ye Yu had been preparing to ascend, so he hadn’t gone after the cultivation families.

However, he still knew a bit about the Bai family.

This cultivation family had been established for nearly ten thousand years.

It had produced several high-level cultivators who had reached the Tribulation stage.

Though none had reached the Ascension stage...

The family’s long-standing heritage was undeniable.

There was a good chance they possessed forbidden techniques.

This was a strong temptation for Ye Yu.

Moreover, Bai Yuben had been exceptionally generous.

In the cultivation world, sects and families guarded their techniques strictly.

Even elders with high status needed to exchange contribution points to access certain techniques.

But Bai Yuben was willing to offer unrestricted access to all the family’s techniques.

This alone made him stand out among family heads and sect masters.

With such conditions, how could Ye Yu refuse?

A few hours later...

Ye Yu arrived at the Bai family’s estate on Wangchuan Cliff with Bai Yuben.

As an ancient cultivation family...

The estate was well-maintained, with all buildings exuding a charming, antique aesthetic that was pleasing to the eye.

Bai Yuben presented Ye Yu with an elder’s jade token...

And started explaining the basic benefits and duties.

But Ye Yu had little patience for this.

After briefly acknowledging him...

He asked about the location of the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion.

Bai Yuben's gaze turned slightly melancholic.

“After all, I am the family head, and you, as an elder, are now part of the Bai family.”

“Shouldn’t we take some time to bond a bit?”

Was it necessary to be so impatient?

Of course, Bai Yuben didn’t voice these thoughts.

After all, in his eyes, Ye Yu was his lucky charm.

Angering a lucky charm could ruin his own fortune!

Once he received the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion’s exact location...

Ye Yu immediately headed over, using his elder token to enter.

The Bai family’s heritage was indeed impressive.

The pavilion had three floors, holding at least a thousand techniques.

An astonishing collection.

Ye Yu wasted no time, diving straight into his search.

His target was clear: forbidden techniques!

Soon, the sky began to darken...

And so did Ye Yu’s mood.

To be honest, he had overestimated the Bai family of Wangchuan Cliff.

Not a single forbidden technique was here.

Most of the techniques were low-grade, with only a few mid-grade techniques, and even fewer high-grade ones.

As for Heaven-grade techniques?

There wasn’t a trace of them.

Ye Yu looked up to the sky and sighed.

With a solemn expression, he replied, “I’m aware of the dangers of forbidden techniques, so I only plan to study, not practice. Rest assured.”

After much hesitation, Bai Ningbing led Ye Yu to a corner of the third floor of the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion. She retrieved a dusty technique from a shelf.

The title was inscribed in bold characters.

Earth Fiend Soul Draw Technique!

Bai Ningbing handed it to Ye Yu.

“Remember... you promised only to study, not practice!”

Ye Yu nodded in agreement...

Then flipped through a few pages.

It was indeed a forbidden technique, requiring the sacrifice of one's soul to gain temporary power.

The faster the soul was sacrificed, the greater the power obtained.

An excellent technique!

This was exactly what Ye Yu had been looking for.

He thanked Bai Ningbing repeatedly, but then a crucial question came to mind.

“You’re just a disciple here... how did you know where to find a forbidden technique?”

In response, Bai Ningbing said softly, “Bai Yuben is my brother; this is my family’s home.”

“Knowing what’s in my own house is perfectly normal, isn’t it?”

Ye Yu’s mouth twitched slightly. He hadn’t expected this woman to be the family head’s sister.

Given her background, her knowledge made perfect sense!

Afterward, Ye Yu left the Dao Enlightenment Pavilion.

Not long after he departed...

The doors to the pavilion closed tightly.

Bai Yuben’s figure suddenly appeared, kneeling before Bai Ningbing on one knee.

“Master, I’ve taken over Jade Void Hall. Here is the Jade Void Bell.”

He raised his hand, revealing a golden bell the size of a thumb.

“You hold onto it for now. I’m not interested in it... because I’ve found someone even more intriguing.”

Bai Ningbing ignored the bell and watched Ye Yu’s departing figure, a smile blossoming on her face.
