"Oh!"

The Great Elder, upon hearing Zhan Luan speak so, his face flashed with a hint of puzzlement. He could hardly believe that Zhan Luan, who harbored deep hatred for the Human Clan, would actually speak of helping them.

"What on earth is Zhan Luan thinking about?"

Within, Duan Gujin's body was flowing with dazzling golden light, making him shine like the sun, illuminating everything around.

His condition had stabilized.

Three two-hour periods later, he felt the same wondrous changes in his Body and Divine Soul as the first time, as if both were to soar into the skies.

"This Ancient Dragon Marrow is truly extraordinary!"

After six two-hour periods, he heard a deafening boom, like thunder, by his side, and his Cultivation advanced once more.

Miao Yu, close by, couldn't hear any of it. With her eyes tightly shut, her body continuously absorbed the essence of the Ancient Dragon Marrow.

Cultivation breaking through once again, Duan Gujin let out a breath; he felt utterly relaxed and sensed a considerable increase in strength.

He had heard of the Ancient Dragon Marrow in his previous life, knowing it was extremely rare. Today, he was fortunate enough to use it for Washing Body; he could only marvel at the incredible turn of his luck.

The sensation of his Body and Divine Soul fluctuating, rising and falling, began to fade. When his Body calmed down once more, it emitted a golden light.

This golden radiance illuminated Miao Yu behind him, making her feel incredibly comfortable; she knew it was the golden light from Duan Gujin that suppressed the Absolute Yin Energy inside her.

"So comfortable!"

Over the years, whenever the Absolute Yin Energy filled her Body, she would feel as though she had fallen into an ice cellar, with chill penetrating her bones, and would suffer immensely.

Yet when she recently broke through a small realm, she unexpectedly discovered that the Absolute Yin Energy did not emerge. However, it hadn't disappeared.

It had instead been suppressed by the golden light emitted by Duan Gujin, tucked tightly within the depths of her soul sea.

"How wonderful! There's finally hope!"

This was the first time Miao Yu had successfully broken through a realm, and not only was she without the bone-chilling pain, but she also felt immensely comfortable throughout her body.

At that moment, Miao Yu was sure Duan Gujin was her True Destiny partner.

Even if her father wanted to separate her from Duan Gujin, she would defy him!

"No wonder he's my True Destiny!"

Miao Yu had been puzzled by the words "True Destiny" written in the divination. Now, after experiencing the power of her True Destiny firsthand, she understood just how extraordinary he was.

Previously, whenever she broke through a small realm, her whole body would become cold, chilled to the bone, and that coldness almost drove her to the brink of death.

Even when her father, Zhan Luan, intervened, he wasn't able to alleviate any of the excruciating pain. This made her realize that, unless the True Destiny mentioned in the divination intervened, she would have to continue enduring this near-death agony.

Time trickled away bit by bit.

Outside, Zhan Luan and the Great Elder sat cross-legged on the ground, taking note that Duan Gujin had broken through to the Third Level of Martial Emperor, while Miao Yu had reached the Sixth Level of Martial Emperor.

Initially, Zhan Luan had been extremely worried about Miao Yu.

He knew very well that every time Miao Yu successfully leveled up, she endured agonizing cold to the bone. But this time, he noticed that the intense bone-chilling pain did not afflict her.

"No way? Could it be that Duan Gujin really possesses such miraculous strength?"

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, Zhan Luan would never have believed that in this world someone could suppress the Yin Cold Aura that accompanied his daughter's successful leveling.

That Yin Cold Aura was intensely fierce, and even someone with Cultivation as high as a Demon Saint, like him, couldn't help his daughter suppress even a bit of that Yin Cold Aura.

But now, he had seen with his own eyes that Duan Gujin, just by facing his back towards Miao Yu, could already successfully suppress the Yin Cold Aura that appeared on her.

"It seems that the divination is correct!"

The Great Elder had heard before that Miao Yu had found her True Destiny, and although she found it difficult to accept a man from the Human Clan, she now had no other choice.

Because it seemed that only Duan Gujin, a member of the Human Clan, could save Miao Yu.

Time flowed like fleeting water, swiftly passing by.

Half a day later, Miao Yu no longer felt any power from the Ancient Dragon Marrow replenishing her, and knew it was time to leave.

In another hour, Duan Gujin also left the cave.

Seeing Miao Yu and Zhan Luan waiting outside for him, he said, "You two, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

"It's fine. Let's head back now. I've prepared a feast for you, rest assured, the food for the feast was arranged by Miao Yu after she entered the Human Race World; she took chickens, ducks, geese and other animals to a large yard to raise!"

Zhan Luan immediately said to Duan Gujin.

"Thank you, Uncle! Miao Yu, are you doing well after your earlier baptism?"

"Rest assured, I'm fine, no problems, let's go back now! I've prepared a feast for you!"

Miao Yu said with a smile.

"Oh!"

Duan Gujin's eyes flickered, as he always felt there was something deeper in the way Zhan Luan looked at him.

"Could it be that this Demon Saint intends to burn his bridges now?"

After thinking for a while, he felt it was very likely the case.

"I'll just go and see what sort of performance he wants to put on."

He took a deep breath and entered the castle with Miao Yu and her father.

He had previously communicated with Miao Yu and knew her father's name was Zhan Luan.

Of course, with his age and potential future status, it would not be possible for him to address Miao Yu's father as Zhan Luan.

On the way, they agreed that Duan Gujin would call Miao Yu's father 'Uncle'.

Soon, they arrived in a large room.

On a table in that large room, there was a whole table full of food.

Among the food were chicken, duck, and pork, all looking very delicious.

"Dear Nephew Duan, feel free to eat! I had Miao Yu live in the Human Race World before; she developed a taste for the human's cooked food, these dishes are about the same as those from the inns!"

Zhan Luan pointed to the table full of food and said.

Duan Gujin slightly furrowed his brow and asked, "Who made these dishes?"

"Rest assured, my subordinates made them! Is there a problem?"

Zhan Luan replied.

"There is deadly poison in this dish."

Duan Gujin just sniffed for a moment and detected a faint poison aroma among the food.

He recognized it as Mandala Poison Flower, which is a kind of poisonous herb.

"What? How is this possible?"

Hearing Duan Gujin's words, Zhan Luan was instantly shocked.

"Miao Yu, do you have a silver needle with you?"

Duan Gujin asked.

"Yes!"

"Use the silver needle to check; see if it changes color."

Duan Gujin said calmly.

"Alright!"

Miao Yu immediately pulled out a silver needle from her storage ring and inserted it into a plate of pork.

In the next moment, the silver needle changed color right away.

"Father, this dish truly contains deadly poison!"

Seeing the silver needle change color, Miao Yu loudly gasped in shock.
