[Ye Yu gazed at Bai Miao Leng for a long while, seeing that she wasn’t joking.]


    [So, he patiently explained, “Wife, your idea is a bit nai?ve.”]


    [“No one can possess the entire human realm. You rarely venture outside; you don’t know how vast this world is or how powerful its strongest cultivators are!”]


    [“Let’s focus on cultivation first, shall we?”]


    [In Ye Yu’s mind, Bai Miao Leng’s usual haunt was the Bai family’s Dao Enlightenment Pavilion.]


    [She’d almost never left the Bai family estate.]


    [So her unrealistic ambitions were understandable.]


    [Bai Miao Leng suddenly chuckled, “Husband, just pretend I’m joking.”]


    [“But if that day ever comes, will you help me?”]@@@@


    [Ye Yu’s brows furrowed slightly.]


    [Bai Miao Leng seemed very different today.]


    [Gone was her usual gentle demeanor—she seemed like an entirely different person.]


    [Could it be... was she possessed?]


    [Ye Yu took Bai Miao Leng’s right hand, using his spiritual sense to examine her carefully.]


    [He found her soul to be stable.]


    [There was no sign of possession.]


    [Then why was she saying such strange things today?]


    [Bai Miao Leng showed no resistance to Ye Yu’s touch.]


    [Her smile grew even more pronounced.]


    [“Husband, how about we have an honest talk?”]


    [“First, let’s talk about you. The Rebirth Sacrifice Technique—it should be in your possession, right?”]


    [Hearing this...]


    [Ye Yu’s expression changed dramatically.]


    [The Rebirth Sacrifice Technique was the forbidden technique that the previous sect master of Yellow Springs View, Ma Jintian, had risked his life to acquire.]


    [How did Bai Miao Leng know about it?]


    [Ye Yu was instantly curious.]


    [Bai Miao Leng then began explaining the origin of this forbidden technique.]


    [The Rebirth Sacrifice Technique, also known as the Death Warrior Technique...]


    [Was created by a renowned Dao Integration Realm cultivator named Shi Tengyu.]


    [His intention was to quickly cultivate a group of powerful death warriors.]


    [However, the technique came at the cost of drastically shortened lifespans and gender reversal.]


    [Hence the name “Rebirth Sacrifice Technique.”]


    [Initially, the technique allowed Shi Tengyu to produce hundreds of peak Nascent Soul cultivators in a short time.]


    [Could she have guessed that he could practice forbidden techniques without suffering backlash?]


    [Bai Miao Leng looked at him for a moment and then said softly, “Backlash from forbidden techniques cannot be nullified.”]


    [“Everyone knows that.”]


    [“So, you haven’t actually practiced any forbidden techniques.”]


    [“The real reason you’ve been collecting them over the years is that you possess some kind of secret technique that absorbs their backlash.”]


    [“And Jiao Feikuang, Jiao Mandao’s son, became a woman because of that technique, didn’t he?”]


    [“Am I right, husband?”]


    [Ye Yu raised an eyebrow slightly.]


    [“A secret technique,” he thought to himself, “is actually a reasonable explanation.”]


    [Considering Bai Miao Leng’s meticulous mind and her thorough deductions, there was no point in denying it further.]


    [It was better to let her believe she was correct.]


    [Ye Yu neither confirmed nor denied.]


    [Instead, he responded coldly, “So, from the very beginning, you knew everything about me before I even joined the Bai family?”]


    [“Or rather, inviting me to join the Bai family was also your plan?”]


    [Bai Miao Leng laughed, “Husband, you’re so clever.”]


    [“But let’s remember, tonight is an honest talk. You’re not allowed to get angry. I’ll tell you everything.”]


    [“I swear.”]


    [Bai Miao Leng raised three fingers solemnly.]


    [Seeing this, Ye Yu said again, “Answer my question first.”]


    [Bai Miao Leng acknowledged directly.]


    [“Yes, that’s right. It was my arrangement to have you join the Bai family.”]


    [“At first, I was just very interested in you.”]


    [“But after all these years together...”]


    [“I’ve truly come to cherish our time together.”]


    [“And you’re so handsome.”]


    [“We’re a match made in heaven.”]


    [“I want nothing more than to be with you forever and ever.”]


    [“Husband, I know you want to collect all the forbidden techniques in existence. I can fulfill that wish for you.”]


    [“When I take over the entire human realm...”]


    [“All the forbidden techniques will be yours, as long as it makes you happy!”]


    [Ye Yu felt deeply puzzled. Why was she so fixated on conquering the human realm?]


    [“What exactly are you trying to do?”]


    [“Because... it’s my mission.”]


    [As she spoke, Bai Miao Leng’s eyes turned pitch black, like an endless abyss!]
