“Rou'er, you've been promoted?”
Sitting on the ground, Tan Yun flashed and appeared in front of Xuan Yuan Rou.
“Hmm.” Xuan Yuan Rou nodded, a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes. “The decisive battle is in a month, and I want you to accompany me.”
“Sure!” Tan Yun smiled.
Then, Tan Yun continued, “I will always be by your side, no matter what happens.”
Xuan Yuan Rou's expression softened at his words. “Thank you, Tan Yun. Your presence gives me strength.”
Tan Yun reached out and gently squeezed her hand. “We will face it together. You're not alone in this.”
Xuan Yuan Rou took a deep breath, feeling more at ease. “I know, but it's still a heavy burden.”
Tan Yun nodded seriously. “We’ve trained hard for this moment. Trust in our abilities and the strength of our allies.”
The two shared a moment of silence, the weight of the upcoming battle looming over them.
After a while, Xuan Yuan Rou broke the silence. “Let’s practice together. I want to be stronger for the fight ahead.”
“Alright! Let’s do it!” Tan Yun replied eagerly, his determination shining through.
With that, they began their training, pushing each other to new heights as the sun set behind them, casting a warm glow over the scene.
Then, Tan Yun took Xuan Yuan Rou's hand and flew into the air, exiting the Pavilion of Ascending to the Heavens.
The two of them, like a celestial couple, strolled joyfully through the picturesque Qing Tian Immortal City.
In the city, the immortal people and immortal soldiers greeted Tan Yun and Xuan Yuan Rou with utmost respect.
In the following twenty-nine days, Tan Yun and Xuan Yuan Rou held hands and nearly explored all the beautiful sights of Qing Tian Immortal City.
They watched the sunrise and sunset, engaged in idle talk about life's ideals.
These twenty-nine days were the happiest moments for Xuan Yuan Rou.
As night fell and the bright moon hung in the sky, Tan Yun and Xuan Yuan Rou sat side by side on the grassy slope of Qing Tian Immortal Mountain, gazing at the radiant moon, lost in thought.
“Fool, what are you thinking about?” Xuan Yuan Rou glanced at Tan Yun and smiled sweetly.
Tan Yun took a deep breath and smiled slightly, “Rou'er, I want to ask you a question, and you must answer truthfully.”
“Hmm, go ahead,” Xuan Yuan Rou replied with a sweet smile.
“Rou'er, if one day I do something that might hurt you, would you forgive me?” Tan Yun asked.
Without hesitation, Xuan Yuan Rou replied, “Of course! I love you, and for you, I could even give up my life.”
“Tan Yun, why are you asking such questions?”
Tan Yun chuckled, “Oh, it’s nothing. Just asking casually.”
“Rou'er, the City Defense Formation will be broken tomorrow. I'm going to call Su Bing and the others to discuss the battle plan in detail.”
“Hmm.” Xuan Yuan Rou nodded, rising from Tan Yun's embrace.
Tan Yun then communicated telepathically with Shen Subing and the others, including the heavenly slayer demon ape, to summon them.
In the next moment, under the bright moonlight, everyone and the beasts appeared out of thin air.
Tan Yun looked around and noticed that Shen Subing had already reached the fourth level of the emperor realm. Her cultivation speed truly astonished Xuan Yuan Rou and the others once again.
It was well-known that after an immortal ascended to the emperor realm, it normally took hundreds of thousands of years to level up, but from Shen Subing, they discovered that she could ascend a level in far less time!
Her cultivation speed was indeed remarkable!
“Su Bing, how strong is your ability to challenge at a higher level now?” Tan Yun asked.
Shen Subing answered honestly, “I’m not afraid of the first level great expert of the emperor realm.”
“Great.” Tan Yun was delighted, and then he checked the cultivation levels of the others.
Now, Tuoba Yingying and Shen Suzhen had reached the second level of the emperor realm!
Except for Fang Zhiqing, who was currently at the ninth level of the emperor sage realm, the other women on Tan Yun's side, including Dantai Xian'er, Nangong Yuqin, Tang Mengyi, Tang Xinying, and Gongsun Ruoxi, were all at the first level of the emperor realm!
