In the room, a nameplate for March was faintly glowing with white light, illuminating everything around it.
Zhang Rongfang and Tong Zhang sat opposite each other, one in a white dress, the other in a red robe.
The color contrast was extremely distinct.
Tong Zhang liked white. Her dress was slightly parted at the chest, revealing a delicate white neck and a hanging black coral pendant.
Her overly full chest made the front of her dress seem as if it would completely rip open.
"White Scales helped me choose this outfit. She said dressing like this is best. I don’t know why," Tong Zhang said, confused.
"It’s very pretty," Zhang Rongfang smiled. "So, you came to see me on your own initiative. Is there something important?"
Now, he was not someone you could see anytime you wished, because he was busy, and he could be in different places at any time.
These places were quickly reachable for him, but for others, they were extremely distant.
So, to see him, one must submit a request in advance.
And the Celestial Maiden was one such person. With her serene nature, to take such an action, she clearly had an important matter.
"I have a question I want to ask you." Tong Zhang lowered her head, picking up the teacup in front of her, gently swaying the light green tea inside.
"This question is very important. To me, very important."
"Go ahead," Zhang Rongfang’s expression became slightly solemn.
"I’ve achieved all my goals, repaid Damir’s efforts and kindness towards me. But now... he’s revived. All the grievances have also vanished into thin air."
Tong Zhang kept shaking the teacup, even splashing some tea out of it.
"Nothing I do has any meaning anymore... my efforts also have no purpose... Now, I don’t know what to do? What can I do?"
"What did Damir say?" Zhang Rongfang raised an eyebrow slightly.
"He said you would give me the answer," the Celestial Maiden replied seriously.
"Me?" Zhang Rongfang pondered for a moment, suddenly understanding Damir’s meaning.
The Celestial Maiden at this moment had clearly lost the will to live.
She originally planned to commit suicide after avenging Damir. Her life was a combination of pain and accident, and after being saved by Damir, revenge became her only purpose for living.
But now, Damir never really died, it was just a faked death. And all grievances have been thoroughly settled.
Yet she remains trapped in the vortex of the Extreme Realm, unable to move forward or retreat.
The Extreme Realm is something sought after yet unattainable, but it still represents a clear goal.
Now, the Celestial Maiden is seeking yet unattainable, but has lost the only goal.
"If you don’t know why you live, then come with me," Zhang Rongfang suddenly reached out his hand.
"Do you have any important people or things?"
"??" The Celestial Maiden was slightly astonished, not understanding why.
"Damir is your important person, right?" Zhang Rongfang said softly. "You could dedicate so many years for him, even reaching the Extreme Realm."
"What are you saying?" Tong Zhang suddenly didn’t understand.
The Extreme Realm is a kind of extreme state that once entered, will never regress.
That’s why she is in such pain; the Extreme Realm without a goal or motivation is torture.
"How can I make you hate me?" Zhang Rongfang put down his hand, speaking calmly. "For instance, if I went to kill Damir now?"
"You wouldn’t do that." Tong Zhang frowned.
"It seems you still care about something," Zhang Rongfang smiled. "Even though it’s not as important now. I tell you, if you leave me here, I will go and kill Damir. Would you then, never dare to leave me?"
"....." The Celestial Maiden was slightly stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t speak.
"You see, if you leave, then it would also cause the death of your most respected benefactor and teacher. In this way, your meaning in life is regained," Zhang Rongfang laughed.
Knock, knock, knock.
At this moment, a slight knocking sound came from the door.
"Come in," Zhang Rongfang didn’t need to look to know who it was.
The door slowly opened, and Zhang Zhenhai walked in with a nervous expression. The first thing she saw was the Celestial Maiden sitting upright by the table.
A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, but she suppressed her emotions and came to Zhang Rongfang’s side.
"Master," she said.
"No need for formalities," Zhang Rongfang said gently, gesturing for her to sit down to the side as well.
Compared to the Celestial Maiden’s exaggeratedly full figure, Zhang Zhenhai had an overall balanced allure. The tight black special combat suit outlined every curve of her body, her undulating body line was exceptionally enticing.
"Zhenhai, I am a person cultivating the Dao and immortality, my heart is set on the great Dao, free from distractions." These words from Zhang Rongfang made Zhang Zhenhai feel her heart sink.
Although she had long expected this, hearing it personally, it still...
"But a cultivator is not heartless," Zhang Rongfang said in a low voice. He reached out and grabbed Zhang Zhenhai’s hand.
"The road of Dao is long, if someone can accompany me, I hope she can accompany me longer...."
"I... I..." Zhang Zhenhai’s face began to heat up rapidly as her hand was held, her heartbeat sped up fiercely, feeling as though she was burning up.
"I want to have three!!" Suddenly, she stood up.
The Celestial Maiden and Zhang Rongfang were dumbfounded. Before they could react, she eagerly unbuttoned her front.
"Master, I will prove that I am no worse than her!!" She was ignited, her whole being filled with determination, her eyes a mess, clearly unaware of how many thoughts were spinning in her mind.
The Celestial Maiden was also bewildered by this sudden change, a blood-like shadow flashed before her eyes, and the still undressing Zhang Zhenhai was embraced by Zhang Rongfang, sitting back down, held in his arms.
After a moment of silence, she immediately got up, prepared to leave.
Bam!
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck the back of her head.
Tong Zhang’s consciousness blurred. She staggered, trying to support her body, but the intense dizziness made everything in front of her increasingly unclear.
Thud.
She collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The esteemed Extreme Realm Grandmaster, surprisingly knocked out by a single sneak attack. She didn’t even have time to react.
If this were spoken of, perhaps it would be mocked as deception, but if it was Zhang Rongfang who acted, then....
"You have a big problem. I need to help you heal." Zhang Rongfang sighed, looking at the unconscious Celestial Maiden on the ground.
If the Celestial Maiden left on her own now, she might completely self-destruct and meet her demise in no time.
Therefore, since conventional methods were hard to be effective, it was better to give her a new reliance.
With this thought, Zhang Rongfang pointed with one hand.
A mist of blood immediately surrounded the Celestial Maiden, continuously swirling around, completely sealing her Qi and Blood nodes.
Depriving her of her powerful physical qualities and martial prowess.
With his current strength, through the manipulation of blood and understanding of the human body, he could achieve this.
"Sir, how do you intend to deal with her?" Zhang Zhenhai, confused by the series of sudden changes, asked nervously.
"Keep her by my side. Since she’s lost her goal, then let’s create another one." Zhang Rongfang did not elaborate further on how to recreate it.
But obviously, he didn’t plan to let Tong Zhang leave him again.
"What about us?" Suddenly filled with her wishes, Zhang Zhenhai found herself in a dream-like illusion.
"Sir, do you really want me?"
If before, she would often fantasize about this scenario, but now Zhang Rongfang and ordinary people, even ordinary Bloodline Grandmasters, had an unbelievably vast gap between them.
In such a time, where she wasn’t even a Grandmaster, what virtue or ability did she have to stand by his side and bask in the glory accompanying him?
Could she truly bear this tremendous pressure?
"Do what you want to do." Zhang Rongfang casually pulled, a large swathe of red cloak immediately enveloping the two of them together.
Poof.
In a flash of red light, he disappeared from the original place, flying out through the only window and heading towards the Celestial Curtain Pavilion.
Holding Zhang Zhenhai’s slender waist, feeling her full curves closely pressed against him, looking at her confused expression as she lightly bit her lips.
In mid-air, Zhang Rongfang suddenly felt an inexplicable sigh.
Towards those from the Rebel Sect who had always followed him.
The group led by Zhang Zhenhai and her father, he had neglected them for too long.
To him, this group was truly the most loyal.
Especially after avenging his great grudge and completely subverting gods and spirits, this portion of the Rebel Sect had utterly become his personal fervent loyalists.
’In the future, I need to properly reward and promote them.’
With this thought flashing through his mind, Zhang Rongfang embraced Zhang Zhenhai and flew into a room window on the top floor of the Celestial Curtain Pavilion.
With a bang, the window closed, and inside came the sound of fabric being torn.

Ancestor Zheng took Zhang Zhenhai as a Daoist partner, this event quickly spread throughout Yuan City under his directive.
At the same time, people flowing from all directions spread the news to the Eternal Palace and Chana Tower.
In just half a month, even the Human Alliance and the Spirit People’s gathering places knew about it.
The Daoist wedding was scheduled for early August as planned.
The grand ceremony immersed the entire Yuan City in a carnival. It also left the Celestial Maiden who followed Zhang Rongfang even more bewildered.
She was forced to follow throughout, watching Zhang Rongfang and Zhang Zhenhai go through all the procedures, watching them drink the nuptial wine, watching them enter the bridal chamber, and then the entire bridal chamber began to shake and tremble.
Throughout, Tong Zhang was forced not to leave.
Although no one controlled her, she knew she was being forced.
This reason made her openly and righteously follow at the side, silently observing everything.
On the day of the wedding, gifts were sent from all sides, mostly from subordinates, with the heaviest from the Eternal Palace and Chana Tower.
But these were not important.
The important thing was....
Nine days after the grand wedding....
"Madam... madam laid an egg!!!??"
Suddenly, a Bloodline Daoist stumbled and crashed into the study of the Celestial Curtain Pavilion, shouting in panic at Zhang Rongfang, who was reading a book.
"Laid an egg?" Zhang Rongfang’s face was astonished. Although he and Zhang Zhenhai had been intimate every day recently, it had only been a few days, and her belly had never appeared bigger. How could laying an egg be possible??
"Sir! Quickly go have a look! The situation seems a bit dire!!" The Daoist’s face still retained the pale shade brought on by fear.
"Where is Madam?"
"In the Golden Cloud Pavilion! Originally, Madam was drinking and saying farewell with friends. Suddenly, she was in unbearable pain and got up to relieve herself, and as a result...."
Before the Daoist could finish speaking, he felt a flash of red light before him, already without the figure of Ancestor Zhang Rongfang.
The Celestial Maiden meditating and resting in the adjacent room also disappeared.
