"You’re announcing me as your boyfriend like this, aren’t you afraid it will affect your acting career?"

After the film celebration ended, in a room, Ye Luo held Shi Yanran and spoke.

"In my heart, you are more important than my career in acting." Shi Yanran looked at Ye Luo with a face full of deep affection, clearly, this superstar had thoroughly fallen in love with Ye Luo.

"Thank you for your love, but sadly I can’t give you a complete love in return." Ye Luo looked at Shi Yanran with an expression of guilt, as the number of women in his life continued to grow.

He also felt a deep sense of guilt towards these women, especially for someone like Shi Yanran, who rarely saw him even once in a few months, but felt deeply and loyally in love with him, willing to sacrifice her own career for him, which made him feel even more apologetic.

"You don’t need to say that. Since I’ve fallen in love with you, I won’t ask for too much. I know I am not the only woman for you, and I can’t leave you anyway. All I want is for you to have me in your heart and spend some time with me when you can," Shi Yanran’s eyes were soft and tender as she looked at Ye Luo.

Listening to Shi Yanran’s words, Ye Luo felt a warmth in his heart, suddenly leaned down, and kissed her. Shi Yanran offered no resistance, extending her tongue to tangle with Ye Luo’s, and soon the heat within both of them began to rise. Ye Luo passionately kissed her while his hands roamed freely.

Soon, the room was filled with the sound of heavy, low breathing, the scent of hormones permeating the entire room.

After a fierce battle that took more than two hours, Ye Luo and Shi Yanran both reached their climax. Shi Yanran, having entered the Innate Realm due to her own strength, was able to withstand Ye Luo’s thrashing for so long. Otherwise, she would have collapsed much earlier.

Due to her body’s constitution and the urgent need for a large amount of cold energy, Shi Yanran’s strength had now stepped into the Innate Realm. She had become a master and possessed some self-protective strength, which greatly satisfied Ye Luo.

He then handed over a few elixirs previously refined in the valley to Shi Yanran, instructing her to take them in conjunction with her cultivation to hasten the improvement of her strength.

What Ye Luo needed to do now was to train all the people around him into masters so that he could be at ease.

After a round of tender affection with Shi Yanran, Ye Luo returned to the villa. With Feng Tian cultivating in the valley, there were no masters to protect the women in the villa, so naturally, Ye Luo was not at ease.

However, not long after Ye Luo returned to the villa, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly swept his gaze towards a certain spot.

"Come out!"

A harsh shout echoed. Under the cover of night, a figure dressed in black slowly emerged, wielding a sharp knife that glinted coldly.

"Second level of the Saint Realm!"

Detecting the strength of the opponent, a hint of surprise flashed through Ye Luo’s eyes.

"Who sent you?" Ye Luo directly asked the figure.

The black-clad powerhouse did not speak, a sharp murderous intent glaring in his eyes. With a terrifying aura surging around him, he moved, leaping into the air and slashing viciously at Ye Luo with his knife.

True Qi surged along the blade, and with one strike, he unleashed a terrifying blade light that tore through the void, aiming straight at Ye Luo’s head.

Feeling the power of the opponent’s strike, Ye Luo’s eyes narrowed, and he activated Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Lingyun Sword Technique of the wind-like sword!

Ye Luo instantly summoned the Lingyun Sword, launching an attack on the black-clad powerhouse like a swift and fierce storm, his speed extreme. The Lingyun Sword also emitted a powerful spirituality.

"Spiritual Artifact!"

Seeing the Lingyun Sword suddenly burst out from Ye Luo’s body, the man in black’s expression changed, instantly realizing that Ye Luo held a spiritual artifact in his hand. His pupils revealed a hint of shock. However, his movements weren’t slow; he swiftly waved his dagger in front of him, blocking Ye Luo’s rapid sword attack like a gusting wind.

Although the man in black had blocked the sword strike, the terrifying power erupting from the Lingyun Sword still forced him to stagger backward repeatedly.

The commotion here had also alarmed the women inside the villa, who ran out one after another. Seeing the scene before them, all their faces changed.

"Ha!"

The man in black, seeing that Ye Luo was actually wielding a spiritual artifact, dared not take him lightly. His strength completely burst forth, gathering all his True Qi onto the dagger and fiercely slashing it towards Ye Luo.

Bang Bang Bang!

A series of explosions sounded as the battle between Ye Luo and the man in black was in full swing. Although the opponent was a second-layer expert of the Saint Realm, Ye Luo unleashed all the strength from his six meridians, and with the power of the Lingyun Sword, he was able to fight the man evenly.

"Half-Moon Slash!"

After a fierce battle that seemed to be at a stalemate, the man in black deployed a powerful move directly. He twirled his dagger in the air, drawing a half-circle.

Then, a half-moon-shaped blade aura formed in the void and released a strong presence, swinging down towards Ye Luo. The blow of this half-moon-shaped blade aura erupted with a strength that immediately surpassed the second-layer of the Saint Realm, reaching the third layer.

Feeling the power of this strike, Ye Luo did not choose to clash head-on but instead summoned the Eight Feet Mirror. A white light emanated in an instant, blocking the opponent’s attack.

"This is..."

Seeing the Eight Feet Mirror, the man in black’s face changed once again.

At this moment, Ye Luo charged forward, continuously attacking with the Lingyun Sword in his hand, relentless like a tempest, raining down upon the second-layer Saint Realm man in black who was forced to retreat repeatedly, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

With a loud boom, both the man in black and Ye Luo were sent retreating. The opponent sustained serious injuries, while Ye Luo’s True Qi had been greatly depleted.

"You actually have two spiritual artifacts!"

The man in black looked at Ye Luo in disbelief, clearly mistaking the Eight Feet Mirror also as a spiritual artifact, unaware that it was a King’s Tool, a tier higher than a spiritual artifact.

"Sorry, now that you know, I can’t let you go," Ye Luo’s eyes released a fierce intent to kill.

"Really?" A cold smile appeared at the corner of Ye Luo’s mouth, his gaze focused on the man’s eyes, shimmering with a halo as if waves of light were flowing. In an instant, the man’s eyes became scattered under the influence of Ye Luo’s Clairvoyant Eye, losing focus.

Lingyun Sword Technique—Sword that Sunders the Heavens!

Ye Luo bellowed fiercely, activating Dragon Soaring Nine Heavens. With a sword strike that gathered all his strength, he launched a decisive attack.

Essence, energy, and spirit—all concentrated on this one sword strike, as the Lingyun Sword emitted a powerful aura.

In a flash, the Lingyun Sword had reached the opponent’s chest, and the man in black regained his senses just in time to see the sword tip before him. His face turned to shock, his body arching backward while his dagger rapidly moved to block in front, attempting to parry the sword strike.
