After returning to Emperor Mountain, Ling Tianyu gulped down a few sips of tea. Seeing her husband back after a decade, having gone out with the Tendril Emperor and returned together, Duan Yanran was certain they had ventured out together.
Duan Yanran wouldn't ask her husband about what he went out to do since he's busy with affairs. Asking too much would make her seem nagging, or even like she's monitoring him.
A woman must know when to ask questions and when to refrain.
"Within fifty years, I will be just one step away from the Pinnacle Contending," Ling Tianyu informed his wife, explaining the situation.
Duan Yanran was shocked upon hearing this—it was astonishing that her husband's cultivation speed could be enhanced; it was truly fearsome.
"The people behind the Taboo Demon Gate are indeed powerful," Duan Yanran remarked, "But the way they mobilize their forces—I doubt the situation inside looks promising."
