Chapter 448: Naked Underneath

Ye Guan held Su Zi's hand as they walked into the room.

A middle-aged man was standing by the window in the room, and he was wearing a loose robe; his long hair cascaded down his shoulders. A glass of red wine was in his right hand, and a smile that seemed both wicked and evil tugged at his lips.

The middle-aged man was none other than the Boundless Master!

Erya sat on the sofa not too far away from the Boundless Master. She picked up the wine bottle on the table, took a sip, and revealed a contemptuous expression upon swallowing it.

The Boundless Master was dissatisfied by the sight. "Erya, what's with that look? You just drank a good bottle of wine priced at a few hundred thousand dollars!"

Erya pursed her lips. "It tastes awful."

"You've just wasted a treasure," the Boundless Master said, shaking his head. Then, he sat down and looked at Ye Guan. "Have a seat!"

Ye Guan nodded slightly and sat down with Su Zi.

The Boundless Master looked at Ye Guan and asked, "Are you here to ask about your old man's whereabouts?"

Ye Guan nodded. "Yes."

The Boundless Master smiled but remained silent.

Ye Guan asked, "Senior, do you know where he is?"

The Boundless Master chuckled. "If I were you, I wouldn't go looking for him. Why? It's because he'll definitely come to see you on his own once he's decided to leave. Why bother seeking him out actively? Besides, if I were you, I would take this opportunity to become even stronger. Once they're gone, your days ahead will become very difficult."

Ye Guan was puzzled. "Why is that?"

The Boundless Master stared at Ye Guan as if he was pitiful and said, "He's an extraordinary cultivator, so he has made quite a few enemies. Those enemies of his might decide to attack you once he's gone. Prepare well, or you'll be in for a world of hurt."

Ye Guan was silent.

The Boundless Master smiled. "It seems that you're already mentally prepared."

Ye Guan nodded.

"What are you going to do?"

Ye Guan smiled wryly. "What else can I do but fight?"

The Boundless Master said, "You can choose to lie down and relax."

Ye Guan remained silent.

The Boundless Master chuckled. "You really are like your old man—it seems that you have no plans on relaxing as well."

Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.

The Boundless Master leaned back on the sofa, staring at Ye Guan. "Why make things difficult for yourself?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Guan replied, "I want to become invincible, too."

The Boundless Master chuckled and pointed out. "You're too young."

Ye Guan smiled. "It doesn't matter; I still have to try."

The Boundless Master nodded. "Sure. It's your choice, anyway, but I have to remind you that it's not going to be easy. The path you've chosen is even more challenging than the path that your old man has chosen back then."

Ye Guan nodded. "I'm mentally prepared."

The Boundless Master laughed and retorted, "No, you're not."

Ye Guan stared in astonishment at the Boundless Master.

The Boundless Master smiled and said, "You still don't know what you're about to face."

Ye Guan spoke in a deep voice, "Senior, do you know something?"

The Boundless Master shook his head slightly, unwilling to divulge anything.

Erya seemed a bit annoyed at the sight. "Boundless, why beat around the bush?"

The Boundless Master looked up at Ye Guan and asked, "Do you know why your old man managed to take that step and transcend divinity?"

Ye Guan replied, "He has exceptional talent."

"Nonsense!" the Boundless Master exclaimed, shaking his head. "He managed to transcend divinity, as he had no other choice but to do so."

Ye Guan frowned. "What do you mean?"

The Boundless Master stared deeply at Ye Guan before explaining, "It's all because your aunt has been single-handedly carrying the burden of his bad karma on her shoulders. You won't understand it yet, but let's use your grandfather as an example.

"Do you know how many people around him had perished when he took that step himself?"

Erya clenched her fists. She had yet to forget that battle, as even she and Little White had almost perished during that battle.

The Boundless Master continued, "In other words, your old man has your aunt to support him, which means he never really has to worry about taking that step. If he hadn't decided to take that step, she would have still followed him until the end.

"In other words, your old man was truly invincible! In addition, your aunt has decided to carry all his bad karma for him."

Ye Guan spoke in a deep voice, "Isn't there a catch in that kind of setup?"

The Boundless Master nodded. "Yep, there's a catch."

Ye Guan looked at the Boundless Master.

The Boundless Master muttered, "The catch is that he will never surpass your aunt."

Ye Guan fell silent.

The Boundless Master stared deeply at Ye Guan, asking, "Do you know the biggest difference between you and your old man?"

Ye Guan shook his head. "No, I don't."

The Boundless Master smiled. "Unlike what you did, your old man didn't choose to walk on the path to invincibility."

Ye Guan remained expressionless and silent.

The Boundless Master stood up and walked up to the window. Then. he looked out the window to stare at the scenery outside before saying, "Cultivate well!"

Ye Guan's expression was complicated as he stared at the Boundless Master. Ye Guan could feel that the Boundless Master had something to say to him, but he had ultimately decided to refrain from saying it directly for some reason.

Ye Guan didn't ask any more questions, and he had no regrets when it came to the path he had chosen. There was no turning back, after all, so regrets would be meaningless.

Of course, Ye Guan had no idea if he would ultimately succeed; all he knew was that he had to do his best.

Ye Guan stood up and bowed slightly. "Regardless of the outcome, I appreciate the reminder. I'm taking my leave, then."

Ye Guan then held Su Zi's hand and turned around to leave.

Meanwhile, Erya stared at the Boundless Master standing by the window.

"Are you sure you want to stay in the Milky Way?" Erya asked.

The Boundless Master nodded.

Erya was puzzled. "Why?"

The Boundless Master smiled. "My era is over, after all. I don't have as much luck as you guys. The schemes of my enemies out there might lead to me dying like a side character out there, and I'd get a few teardrops at most upon my death. If I were to stay here, perhaps someday, I would get to reappear once more before the world."

Erya was silent. The Boundless Master wasn't lying, as someone had once told her that the Boundless Master had managed to touch the Dao, allowing him to sense certain things.

"I'll go and look for you again to have fun if I ever come back here," Erya said.

"Sure," the Boundless Master said, smiling. "You're always welcome!"

Erya turned around and left the penthouse. The Boundless Master looked out the window, took a sip of the red wine in his cup, and whispered, "I'm afraid everyone will eventually forget the name 'Boundless Master.'"

The Boundless Master shook his head and chuckled. "A good ending is already a blessing for someone like me, so I should be satisfied with it."

The Boundless Master took a deep breath to push aside the gloominess in his heart before turning around to leave.

...

Ye Guan left the Boundless Club while holding Su Zi's hand. He didn't ask the Boundless Master to follow him back to the Guanxuan Universe because the Boundless Master had already risked his life for the Guanxuan Universe.

In other words, the Boundless Master had already done enough for the Guanxuan Universe, and allowing him to stay here was a good ending for someone like him.

Erya and Little White caught up to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan looked at Erya and Little White.

"We're staying in the Yang Residence. If you're free, you should come and visit us."

Ye Guan asked, "Are you referring to great aunt Yang Lianshuang's house?"

Erya nodded. "That's right!"

Ye Guan recalled something just then and asked, "Do you know where the Qin Residence is?"

Qin Guan's surname was Qin.

Ye Guan was already here, so he decided to take a look at the Qin Residence.

Erya chuckled. "We've been there before, so we know. We'll bring you along next time."

Ye Guan nodded. "Sounds great."

Erya asked, "When will you visit the Yang Residence?"

Ye Guan thought briefly before replying, "Maybe in a couple of days."

Erya nodded. Then, she wrote a phone number on a piece of paper. Handing it over to Ye Guan, Erya explained, "Call this number once you've decided to visit the Yang Residence, and I'll have someone pick you up."

Ye Guan agreed. "All right."

Erya blinked. "Okay, then you guys can leave! We're going to keep on playing."

Ye Guan laughed. "Sure."

Ye Guan turned around and was about to leave with Su Zi when he remembered something and came to a halt. Ye Guan turned around and stared at Little White, asking, "Little White, can you give me some spiritual cores?"

Little White blinked and nodded. She then waved her tiny paw, and a storage ring appeared. The storage ring contained billions of spiritual cores. Ye Guan accepted the ring and tried to open it to no avail.

Little White blinked in confusion at the sight. A few moments later, she took the ring back and tapped it with her tiny paws before handing it back to Ye Guan.

Ye Guan attempted to open it and was pleased to find that the storage ring could be opened without any spiritual energy.

Ye Guan smiled. "Thank you."

Little White grinned in response.

"Anyway, I lied to you two earlier," Ye Guan lifted his hand holding Su Zi's hand and showed it to Erya. "She's actually my wife, so... don't you guys have any gifts to give your in-law? You two are still my elders, after all, so I think you need to give her a gift!"

I'm his wife?! Su Zi was stunned.

Erya and Little White exchanged astonished glances. Indeed, the elders of the young man had to give gifts to the young man's spouse upon her first meeting with the young man's elders.

Erya looked at Ye Guan, feeling a bit troubled. She had no qualms about giving Ye Guan's wife a gift, but the issue was that the brat might bring with him a new wife to show them every day.

Ye Guan stared at Erya and Little White with a firm gaze. Clearly, he wouldn't leave unless the two gave Su Zi a gift.

"Give us a moment," Erya said, pulling Little White aside to talk to her.

The two kept glancing at Su Zi, obviously discussing what gift would be suitable for the latter. A few minutes later, the two returned, and Little White immediately took out a gold bracelet.

Ye Guan's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bracelet. As far as he could remember, the gold bracelet was an unranked divine item that Little White had plundered during their visit to the Divine Ruins.

Ye Guan grinned. Little White was ultra generous.

Little White handed the golden bracelet to Su Zi.

Su Zi hesitated and looked at Ye Guan.

Ye Guan hurriedly said, "Quick, accept it!"

Su Zi nodded and promptly accepted the golden bracelet.

"Thank you," Su Zi said while staring at Little White with eyes full of affection.

Little White grinned and waved her tiny paw.

Erya explained, "She said that you don't have to be so polite, as you're her little grandson's wife."

Su Zi froze and went silent.

Erya turned to Ye Guan, and she sounded serious as she said, "Unranked divine items are extremely precious, and we only have a few of them, so—"

Erya stopped mid-sentence to grab Little White's tail. Erya noticed that Little White was blinking in confusion and was about to wave her tiny paw to correct her, so she stopped mid-sentence and tugged at Little White's tail.

Little White went silent.

"Yes, I understand," Ye Guan said, nodding, "Thank you, Erya. Thank you, too, Little White. We'll visit you two tomorrow."

Ye Guan then pulled Su Zi away and left.

Little White blinked and waved her tiny paw at Erya.

Erya hugged Little White and turned around to return to the Boundless Club.

"If we had told him that we have tens of thousands of unranked divine items, he'd bring and show us a new daughter-in-law every day. Are you really willing to face that kind of nonsense?

"Besides, he'll think that unranked divine items aren't that precious once he finds out that we have tens of thousands of them, so we have to act poor and just give him one occasionally. This way, he'll always be happy and satisfied with our gifts. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Little White blinked, seemingly in understanding.

Erya grinned. "Let's go and play ball, then! Hehe..."

Then, Erya skipped toward the Boundless Club with Little White in her bosom.

...

Su Zi stared curiously at the gold bracelet in her hand. "What is this? It's not just a bracelet, right?"

"Right," Ye Guan replied, smiling, "It's a powerful divine item."

Su Zi was curious. "How powerful?"

Ye Guan replied, "Extremely powerful. I'll teach you how to use it next time."

Su Zi nodded and smiled sweetly. "All right."

"Are you heading back to the office, or..." Ye Guan trailed off.

Su Zi looked at Ye Guan and said, "I don't want to head back so early."

Ye Guan looked around and muttered, "But it is already so late..."

Su Zi was silent for a moment before she muttered, "Let's go back to my hotel."

Ye Guan nodded. "Let me send you back to your hotel, then."

"Okay..." Su Zi replied.

It didn't take that long for the two to arrive at the luxurious hotel where Su Zi had been staying during her stay in Yanjing. The hotel's interior was extravagant, but it felt desolate for some reason.

Ye Guan suddenly asked, "Can I sleep here?"

Su Zi was stunned.

Smiling, Ye Guan asked, "Is it okay?"

Su Zi blinked. "Are you not afraid that I'll take advantage of you?"

Ye Guan chuckled. "I'll sleep on the sofa, then."

Su Zi smiled. "Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'm going to take a shower."

Su Zi turned and headed toward the bathroom. freew ebnov el

Ye Guan looked around before sprawling out on the nearby sofa.

The sofa was as large and as comfortable as an expensive mattress.

Ye Guan closed his eyes and mulled over the Boundless Master's words. Earlier, Ye Guan felt like the Boundless Master wanted to say something to him, but the latter didn't want to do so directly.

Just what does he want to say to me? Ye Guan thought as he frowned in confusion. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝓌ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝘷ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

A few minutes later, Su Zi came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.

Su Zi's hair had yet to dry completely, so Ye Guan was reminded of a beautiful water lily the moment he saw her emerge from the bathroom.

Su Zi lay down on the bed and looked at Ye Guan with a smile. "Come here."

Ye Guan hesitated briefly, but he eventually stood up and lay down beside Su Zi.

Su Zi wrapped Ye Guan's arm with both hands and leaned on his shoulder before asking softly, "Do you know... do you know that I like you?"

A deafening silence descended upon the two.

Moments later, Ye Guan shattered it with a nod. "I know."

Su Zi looked up to stare at Ye Gua, and her tears silently streamed down her face.

Ye Guan was about to say something, but Su Zi sat up and untied her bathrobe.

Su Zi was wearing nothing beneath her bathrobe, and Ye Guan was so astonished by the breathtaking scene that he had no idea what to say.

Su Zi leaned over and hugged Ye Guan. Her voice trembled ever so slightly as she muttered, "I want... it. I'm... ready."

Ye Guan was about to speak when Su Zi tightened her grip around Ye Guan's waist and continued, "You've always been unwilling to face my feelings. Is it because you're worried that I'll cling to you and ask you to take responsibility?

"No, I won't do that. I like you, and I want to give you my most precious possession. I really won't cling to you."
