Zhao Li suddenly felt a strong desire for validation.
Deep down, he actually wished someone could see the brocade robes he was wearing now.
But soon, he suppressed the longing in his heart, feeling quite regretful:
"It's a pity. From the looks of it, it's not going to be easy for someone like that to appear in the vast Eastern Region."
"What could be troubling our Imperial Advisor so much?"
A subtle ripple appeared in The Void, and then Ye Yunsheng materialized there, her eyes curved like crescent moons as she playfully teased Zhao Li.
Zhao Li's heart skipped a beat. Even without deliberately sensing his surroundings, with his current Spiritual Sense strength, he could detect almost any disturbance within a thousand miles, even getting feedback from subtle signs beforehand.
But Ye Yunsheng's appearance was truly abrupt. Before she spoke, he hadn't sensed her at all. This...
Subconsciously, he asked:
"Wife, what Realm are you in now?"
Hearing Zhao Li's question, Ye Yunsheng gave him a 'what do you think' look and answered as a matter of course:
"Dou Sheng Nine Star, of course. Did you think a Ninth Grade Golden Pill could make me reach the Dou Di level?"
She knew perfectly well why Zhao Li was so surprised. Even she was a little surprised by the effects of the Profound Yin Constitution. Looking at it now, its previous effect of simply allowing her to break through with almost no bottlenecks seemed insignificant.
Now, just with the power of her physical body, she could pound Ninth Tier Magical Beasts!
If her Dharma Body descended and connected with the heavens and earth, in this world, there would likely be no one who could stand against her. In other words, in that state, she was invincible.
Of course, she wasn't a Dou Di after all, so that state naturally couldn't last long. Trying to dominate relying on this method was somewhat unrealistic.
Seeing her expression, Zhao Li's face darkened. He pulled her into his arms and said in a muffled voice:
"Let your husband study this Profound Yin Dharma Body situation. How dare you be so arrogant after only a few months apart?"
Before he even finished speaking, he vanished from the Grand Hall with her...
An hour later, after exploring her thoroughly, Zhao Li didn't dare to be arrogant anymore. A Dou Di Body was a Dou Di Body. He was no match for it at all right now. His hundreds of millions of troops were slaughtered with no ability to fight back, their morale plummeting and collapsing completely.
"The scope of this Special Constitution is a bit too wide; it even has a bonus for this kind of thing."
Hearing Zhao Li's words, Ye Yunsheng's cheeks were flushed. Although she had been constantly corrupted by this perverted guy Zhao Li, she had never been dyed into the same mold as him. Even at her age, she still couldn't speak as brazenly as Zhao Li.
She put on a stern face, pretending to glare fiercely at Zhao Li, and said:
"Stop it. Why are you like a child, wanting to compare everything?"
Seeing this, Zhao Li subconsciously reached out and tucked the strands of hair fluttering near her eyes behind her ear, praising:
"You're so beautiful!"
The words slipped out, and then he was slightly taken aback. A faint sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart, then filled his entire being.
He suddenly seemed to understand why Gu Yuan had been AFK for a Thousand Years in the original story, doing nothing.
He currently felt like slacking off, not caring about worldly affairs, and only looking after his own family.
But his current peak was only within this Pocket World; he couldn't resist the great changes that might occur in the future. Therefore, he couldn't relax and slack off.
"What's wrong? Why are you so lost in thought?"
Feeling the warmth of Zhao Li's hand, Ye Yunsheng lowered her head, but after a while, Zhao Li still made no move. She looked up in confusion and saw Zhao Li staring blankly, not reacting for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
Zhao Li snapped back to reality, abandoning the idea of slacking off. He felt a little lost and disappointed. Sometimes, slacking off seemed to be the privilege of the strong.
It seemed that no matter which world it was, this was the case. The weak would always be swept along by the outside world.
"Keep going, break through to Dou Di, achieve Supreme, step into Dominator, and then slack off!"
This thought popped into Zhao Li's mind, and the corners of his mouth lifted uncontrollably.
He remembered his previous life, where the school had a rule that if your CET-4/6 scores reached a certain level, you didn't have to attend English classes, and your GPA for English would be counted as full marks. Then, in order to skip class, he actually worked hard to memorize vocabulary and do practice tests, and he couldn't help but laugh.
"It's nothing, I just hope this simple yet warm time can last forever."
Zhao Li shook his head, not saying much more, and instead asked Ye Yunsheng about the Profound Yin Dharma Body. This time, he was serious.
Seeing that Zhao Li had changed the subject and didn't want to say more, Ye Yunsheng didn't press him, patiently answering Zhao Li's questions, but quietly noted the matter in her heart.
After decades of being together, how could she not know that Zhao Li was feeling pressure again? But she was a little puzzled. What could possibly make him so cautious? Dou Di? The Route to Dou Di had already been cut off. Could it be that there was still a way to become Emperor on the Continent?
Thus, behind the harmony, both of them had something on their minds.
...
The next morning, sunlight streamed through the gauze window, falling onto the round bed and illuminating a section of a small leg like white jade.
Ye Yunsheng groggily reached out to touch, finding it empty. Then she opened her eyes and saw Zhao Li sitting cross-legged beside her, his Dou Qi surging like mist around his mouth and nose with each breath.
Her movements were very slight, but what Realm was Zhao Li in? Sensing that she was awake, he stopped cultivating and said softly:
"Awake? There's nothing to do today, sleep a little longer and rest well."
During the day, he was still somewhat restrained, seriously researching the mysteries of the Dou Di Body. But at night, Zhao Li wasn't a Sage; how could he control himself? Another night of absurdity had passed.
Ye Yunsheng didn't want to move at all. She closed her eyes. After a while, she looked at Zhao Li and said:
"Lie down."
Zhao Li lay back down, and she pulled one of his arms over to use as a pillow.
He didn't mind much. Looking closely at the delicate face before him, he could even feel the airflow from her nose, and it somehow felt incredibly grounding.
"Stay a bit longer, then I have to leave. There are some things I need to figure out; otherwise, I won't be at ease."
Zhao Li hadn't forgotten what he needed to do. Only by resolving the doubts and unknowns in his heart could he truly enjoy these peaceful and warm days.
Buzz buzz—
In this quiet space, the passage of time seemed unimportant. After an unknown amount of time passed, Zhao Li felt a buzzing vibration from his Storage Ring. With a thought, he saw the Communication Talisman Gu Yuan had given him trembling.
Gu Yuan? What does he want now? Could he have gathered the medicinal ingredients?
Zhao Li was a little puzzled, but he didn't check the message in the jade talisman immediately. His arm was still pinned down by his wife, making it quite inconvenient to reply.
