Chapter 343 Equal Exchange
Dear diary, I haven't been able to write to you for the past week since I was spending more time with my husband. He had been busy transferring his pure Dragon Bloodline to my sisters, but I still managed to steal some time during his rest. I can't wait for my turn, so I can finally connect with him and deepen our bond.
***
Yesterday, it was finally my turn. Standing before him, I could feel the power and warmth emanating from his body. I expected to be left alone to refine the Bloodline Essence, but he surprised me with his gentle touch, pulling me into his embrace instead. I completely forgot about our purpose as his lips touched mine and his hands stripped off my clothes. Our naked bodies tangled for what felt like hours before we connected, my mind exploding with a storm of emotions and sensations I never thought existed.
I don't know how many times we did it, but I could feel our connection growing deeper and stronger each time he filled my insides. I can't even describe the pleasure that consumed my thoughts after I absorbed more of his Dragon Bloodline. I finally understood everyone's crazed reaction when our Souls intertwined, sharing memories, emotions, and dreams. The feeling of being one with someone, to truly understand them at a core level, was overwhelming.
After my Bloodline was complete, he didn't let me go from his arms and we sat under the night sky, looking up at the stars. Words seemed trivial, as our Souls had already shared more than words ever could. But still, we spoke, reminisced, and planned our future together. It felt like time had stopped just for us.
I remember at one point, he whispered in my ear, "Yiren, now we're truly one." Those words, at that moment, held so much meaning. They signified our unbreakable bond, our shared destiny.
As dawn approached, we found ourselves wrapped in each other's embrace, not wanting to let go. The world around us seemed insignificant compared to the universe we had discovered within each other.

Xuefeng pursed his lips as Tianshi finished reading Yiren's diary. "That's quite a poetic description of what happened that night. You forgot certain details like—"
Yiren lunged at him and pressed a hand to his mouth, blushing a bright shade of crimson. "You don't need to mention it in front of everyone."
Everyone laughed at their reaction, each of Xuefeng's wives sitting by the large bonfire outside their camp. Since everyone had finally received their Dragon Bloodline, they decided to celebrate with a small feast.
Everyone's head turned towards the sky as a familiar voice echoed. Descending like a deity, Emi appeared amidst a whirlwind of light and mist. Her black wings flapped gently, causing small gusts of wind that pushed away the smoke from the bonfire. Her brown hair draped around her shoulders, while her sharp, black eyes gleamed with amusement.
"I see you're enjoying some family time," she chuckled, glancing around at the group as she landed by his side. "My dear, I hate to be the bearer of news, but I fear this will be the last time you'll have time for leisure. You're going to be rather occupied from now on."
Xuefeng frowned, studying Emi's expression. "What do you mean? Did something happen to Wu?"
Emi leaned down to have a sweet taste of his lips and assured, "Don't worry, she is all fine, at least for now. She is in the middle of studying one of the most dangerous Soul Arts, but that's not that concerning. What I need to talk about is the deal she made on your behalf with my Master, the founder of Succubus Race."
Xuefeng tensed, absorbing the weight of her words. He wished that Wu met some important people Beyond the Heaven, but he didn't like where this was going. "What kind of deal?" he asked cautiously, unsure whether he wanted to hear the answer.
"Are you aware of Constellations? They are supreme beings who rule at least a hundred or more Realms," Emi explained, unaware of his previous knowledge. "There are thousands of them and your wife formed a partnership with Founder Miara who ranks one hundredth of them all. Basically, the deal includes the exchange of resources and mutual support. In return for your help in climbing the Celestial Ranking, she will help you become a Constellation."
"Isn't that good?" Yiren pointed out with raised eyebrows.
Emi smiled wryly. "It's extremely good until you realize how many enemies Founder Miara has. To put it simply, the other ninety-nine Constellation all hate her for breaking into the top hundred without their permission and now they all prepare to take her down. She will be forced to use all her resources at her disposal to survive and you happen to be that resource."
Everyone went silent as they tried to imagine the scale of the problem. Xuefeng was the first to break the silence, his expression still calm. "How much time do we have?"
"When signing the contract, Wu claimed that you will become a Constellation within a hundred years or the contract will be voided. That would be a perfect deal in time of peace, but Founder Miara will be challenged every year until all her Realms are gone. I'm sure she will request everyone to fight with her, and you have no choice but to join despite having no blessing," Emi explained with a sigh. "I don't know where Wu got that confidence, but I suggest you start aiming to become a Constellation as soon as possible. You only have six months to raise your strength in order to survive the next challenge."
"Didn't you say she would help me with that?" Xuefeng questioned speechlessly. "What kind of resources can she provide us?"
Although he didn't know many details, a hundred years seemed like a long time considering he wasn't even thirty. He was confident to reach Wu's expectations in the long term but that wasn't the issue at hand. Right now he just needed to be strong enough to protect his wives in the closest challenge which shouldn't be hard with the help of the Constellation.
"Well, about that..." Emi muttered, stretching her head as she took off one of her spatial rings. "Since the deal mentions equal exchange of resources, you won't receive anything until you pay for Wu's Soul Art. The pay established by both parties came out to a total of... ten million pills."
