"Boom!"
A deafening roar of thunder crashed down, shaking the heavens.
The sheer volume of the thunder made ears ring, and the quiet confession Yin Feijing had just made was utterly drowned out.
In the next instant, a sharp wave of air swept across the area.
Wherever it touched, hundred-year-old trees and massive boulders alike were obliterated.
Ye Yu, his mind focused, surrounded himself and Yin Feijing with sword energy, creating a protective barrier.
Only then were they able to stand firmly amidst the chaos.
As the wave subsided, the tribulation clouds in the sky began to slowly dissipate.
This was the definitive sign that the heavenly tribulation had come to an end.
The sea below was still churning violently, but Xie Muling was nowhere to be seen.
Ye Yu immediately dispelled the sword energy around him and prepared to step forward to investigate.
But before he could take even two steps, a white figure suddenly hurled itself into his arms.
The impact was so strong that Ye Yu was forced to stagger back two steps.
The white figure was none other than Xie Muling.
Though her clothing was somewhat tattered, she radiated an even more vibrant aura than before.
Even the two dragon horns on her head gleamed like the purest white jade, dazzling in their translucence.
Standing to the side, Yin Feijing’s eyes widened in shock.
It wasn’t the sight of the dragon horns that surprised her.
What startled her was the intimate way Xie Muling clung to Ye Yu, their embrace far exceeding what could be considered normal between senior and junior disciples.
When Yin Feijing had first seen Xie Muling earlier, she herself had tried to rush forward, only to have Ye Yu stop her with a single hand pressed against her forehead.
At the time, she had thought their relationship seemed friendly, even playful.
But now, with Xie Muling draped over Ye Yu like this, Yin Feijing couldn’t help but feel a surge of unease.
What on earth was going on between them?
Yin Feijing felt a wave of urgency, a desire to separate them immediately.
But she had no suitable excuse to intervene.
Thankfully, Ye Yu acted swiftly, lifting his hand to push Xie Muling away.
"Senior Sister, can you mind your image? You’re a dragon, for heaven’s sake!"
"Who cares about being a dragon? It’s just the two of us here anyway..." Xie Muling’s words trailed off as her gaze landed on Yin Feijing, who stood nearby.
Her expression shifted, and she quickly leapt down from Ye Yu, walking toward Yin Feijing with slow, deliberate steps.
Her pupils turned into sinister, vertical slits.
In that instant, Yin Feijing felt as though she had been plunged into an icy abyss.
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
In her eyes, it was as if a colossal true dragon, thousands of feet tall, loomed behind Xie Muling, staring down at her insignificant form with disdain.
Dragon’s Might!
An instinctive suppression that overwhelmed all members of the demon race.
Just as Yin Feijing stood paralyzed, unsure of what to do, Ye Yu stepped in front of her.
"Senior Sister, she’s my friend. She promised not to reveal that you’re a true dragon."
At these words, the killing intent radiating from Xie Muling vanished instantly.
Her pupils returned to their usual gentle gaze.
"If she’s your friend, then it’s fine.
Junior Brother, I’ve successfully overcome my tribulation. Let’s become Dao companions and stay together every day! What do you think?"
As she spoke, Xie Muling made to throw herself into Ye Yu’s arms again.
But Ye Yu swiftly raised his hand, pressing firmly on her dragon horns to keep her at bay.
He couldn’t help but notice how the horns felt—smooth and warm, like polished jade.
Quite pleasant, actually.
Ye Yu shot Xie Muling a surprised look, then turned to Yin Feijing.
"What did you just call me? The thunder was so loud earlier; I didn’t catch it."
Yin Feijing bit her lip tightly.
She had come here intending to confess her feelings.
But fate had conspired against her, drowning her words in the roar of thunder.
What she hadn’t expected was that Xie Muling shared the same intentions—and had beaten her to the punch.
In this situation, someone like Lin Miaoxue might have backed down.
But Yin Feijing was different.
In the dream realm, she had already missed her chance with Ye Yu.
