If it hadn't been for the fact that they had only met last night,
Even the two brothers, who were present at the time, would have thought the two were long-time lovers.
Ah Yin's gentle and considerate behavior toward Ye Yu made Tang Hao and Tang Xiao almost mad with jealousy.
Neither of them slept a wink last night, still unable to make sense of what had happened.
Why was there such a huge gap between people?
They tried to convince themselves Ah Yin was just being cheap, an easy woman—but based on how she treated others, that clearly wasn't the case.
And besides, they couldn't bring themselves to believe that someone as beautiful and kind as Ah Yin was that type of woman.
Which left only one explanation: they had simply been a step too late.
Ye Yu had seized the chance to play the hero and save the beauty.
That's why Ah Yin treated him so differently.
The two brothers were not willing to accept this. If only Ah Yin could see their strengths, they were certain she would change her mind.
But now Ah Yin was about to leave with Ye Yu—how could that be allowed?
With Ah Yin gone, how would they even get a chance to prove themselves and win her back?
Moreover!
Judging from Ah Yin's attitude, if they weren't around, it might not take more than a few days before the two ended up in bed together.
That idea was more painful than death.
Tang Xiao felt the same. He looked at Ye Yu and Ah Yin with anticipation.
"Brother Ye, we've been wandering the continent without a real goal. Why not travel together? We could look out for one another!" Tang Xiao suggested.
"No need."
Ye Yu shook his head directly.
What a joke—he needed to focus on winning over Ah Yin as quickly as possible. Bringing these two third wheels along would only cause trouble.
Especially since they were clearly up to no good. Ye Yu would have to be an idiot to let them follow.
Truthfully, Ye Yu was quite surprised himself.
He thought getting Ah Yin to fall for him would take some effort.
But unexpectedly, Ah Yin was even more proactive than he was.
That really delighted Ye Yu.
As he spoke, he drew his long sword, stepped onto it, and extended a hand toward Ah Yin.
Ah Yin smiled sweetly, took his hand without hesitation, and let him pull her up onto the flying sword.
"Whoosh!"
The sword sliced through the air, carrying Ye Yu and Ah Yin away in an instant.
They disappeared without a trace.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao stared blankly at the sky, speechless.
They had clearly felt the sharp, deadly aura emanating from the hiltless sword beneath Ye Yu's feet.
It sent shivers down their spines.
If they had tried to stop him just now, they would have been cut down on the spot.
"So powerful…"
Tang Xiao muttered in disbelief.
They wouldn't have stood a chance.
Even with his current level 83 Soul Douluo cultivation, he couldn't withstand that sword.
The overwhelming sword energy had chilled him to the core.
Tang Hao felt the same. It was a hard pill to swallow.
Ye Yu looked so young—at least ten years younger than them—but was already far stronger.
The "Twin Stars of the Clear Sky" were nothing but a joke in front of Ye Yu.
At the same time, both brothers were filled with frustration.
Ye Yu's actions had been a clear warning: stay in your place.
They were members of the mighty Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world. Wherever they went, people treated them with respect.
But today…
They had been humiliated by a man named Ye Yu, and they could not accept it.
"Which direction is that?" Tang Hao asked.
"That's toward the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire," Tang Xiao replied.
Last night, Ye Yu had asked them about their current location and the layout of the continent.
"Little sister has been in Heaven Dou City for a while now, hasn't she? Maybe we should go see her," Tang Hao suggested.
"Alright."
Tang Xiao sighed.
He knew his younger brother Tang Hao was feeling extremely unwilling to give up. But it wasn't just him—Tang Xiao felt the same.
If Ah Yin had fallen for his younger brother, that would have been one thing. But for someone else? He wasn't ready to give up.
In this world, strength alone wasn't enough. Influence mattered too.
As the number one sect on the continent, only the Spirit Hall could rival the Clear Sky Sect.
And Ye Yu? Who did he think he was?
With that, the two brothers took off, heading quickly toward Heaven Dou City.
Up in the skies—
Ye Yu didn't care how Tang Hao and Tang Xiao felt. At this moment, he was soaring above the clouds with Ah Yin, hand in hand.
His heart was filled with joy.
In the Devouring World, he would never have dared be so reckless.
Flying through the skies without a fighter escort? He'd have been torn apart by flying beasts in no time.
"Boom!"
Ye Yu suddenly accelerated to top speed. Ah Yin let out a surprised yelp and instinctively curled into his embrace.
Ye Yu wrapped an arm around her slender waist and laughed heartily.
Seeing Ye Yu so wild and carefree, Ah Yin couldn't help but laugh with him.
Leaning into his chest and feeling his presence, she felt a deep sense of security.
She had taken human form some time ago.
Once transformed, she had to live among humans to absorb their essence and aid her cultivation.
But as a spirit beast in disguise, life had never been easy.
Always afraid of being discovered and killed.
Even if it hadn't been dangerous all the time, it had definitely been full of caution.
Yet despite only knowing Ye Yu for a single night, she already felt a mysterious sense of trust in him.
As she nestled in his arms like a quiet kitten, Ye Yu suddenly lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Ah Yin's eyes widened in shock as Ye Yu kissed her.
"Boom!"
Her mind went blank, her body lost all strength, and she simply let Ye Yu do as he pleased.
After a long while, their lips finally parted.
Ye Yu smiled as he looked at the breathless Ah Yin, gently chuckling as she weakly hit his chest with her little fists.
Then he burst into loud laughter again.
He didn't go further. This was an ancient world, not a modern one.
He had to give Ah Yin time to adjust.
In the original story, Tang Hao took eight or nine years to win Ah Yin over—not because he was incompetent,
But because Ah Yin was quite conservative.
Pushing too fast might backfire.
Besides, Ye Yu still had three full months—there was no rush.
After laughing, Ye Yu closed his eyes to sense the cosmic source energy of this world.
The Douluo World was also one set in a cosmic universe. He wanted to see if he could absorb source energy here.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing him close his eyes, Ah Yin nervously asked, thinking she might have upset him somehow.
Without realizing it, she had already begun to entrust her heart to Ye Yu.
If he truly wanted to go further… she wouldn't say no...
"It's nothing. Come, I'll teach you a cultivation method."
Ye Yu opened his eyes, a flash of joy in them as he looked ahead.
In the distance, dozens of kilometers away, stood a towering city.
Ye Yu hadn't expected it, but he really could sense the cosmic source energy here.
If he could sense it, then he could absorb it.
This discovery made Ye Yu overjoyed.
He wasn't sure what level Ah Yin was at now, but she definitely hadn't reached the mature stage—level 60—yet.
