The Dark Star was vastly different from other cultivation stars in one key respect: its gravitational pull was immense.
Cultivating in this kind of environment would yield far greater benefits than on any other cultivation star.
Moreover, the ambient spiritual energy here wasn't as sparse as he'd imagined. It was slightly inferior compared to Rain Waterfall Star and Water Moon Star, but coming from the Tongxuan Continent, this place was practically a paradise.
He was quite satisfied with it.
After wandering the Star Domain for several years, he felt it was time to find a place to settle down for a while and focus on proper cultivation. Only when his strength was sufficient would he have the real power to do what he wanted.
Across the vast Star Domain, finding
But from his previous experiences, he'd spotted a viable approach.
That was to make his name known throughout the entire Star Domain, so that everyone knew of his existence. That way, no matter where Su Yan was, she would surely come looking for him on her own—he wouldn't need to run around searching desperately.
Back on the Tongxuan Continent, it was precisely because the Hu sisters—
The process might take a very long time, but compared to running around blindly like a headless chicken, the chances of success were far greater. Yang Kai was prepared to spend ten, twenty, or even a hundred years to achieve this.
He didn't care about time, because no matter how long it took, it couldn't erode the feelings between him and Su Yan.
His Little Senior Sister too—once he was strong enough, he could return to the Tongxuan Continent and bring them into the Star Domain as well.
And the Dark Star was the stop he'd decided to make.
After wandering around the Heike Family's estate out of boredom and debating whether to check out Tianyun City, a
Yang Kai clearly spotted
After a moment's thought, he mounted his own Star Shuttle and followed, trailing a few miles behind her.
Wu Yi seemed to have encountered some trouble. She looked wronged, flying aimlessly through the air, and Yang Kai could even hear her soft, hiccuping sobs. After a while, she landed on a desolate mountain and sat alone at the peak, her green-clad figure hugging her knees with her head buried in her arms.
Yang Kai landed beside her. Not knowing how to comfort her, he simply stood there and waited for her to compose herself.
Wu Yi's slender shoulders trembled. Sensing someone's approach, she glanced up. Upon seeing it was Yang Kai, she ignored him and cried even harder.
Yang Kai's head was about to burst.
It took a good while before her sobbing gradually subsided. She wiped the corners of her eyes with both hands and shot Yang Kai a sideways glare. "Don't you dare tell anyone about this!"
Yang Kai nodded gently.
"So unfair!" Wu Yi said through hiccups. "So many people died just to gather those ores, and the family elders handed them over to that bastard Xie Hongwen with a single word! Not even a decent reward!"
"Small families have small family sorrows. This isn't the first time, is it?"
"Why do the strong always have to bully the weak? Is there really no fairness or justice in this world? If I were in a position of power, I would never do this!" Wu Yi exclaimed indignantly, venting the fury in her heart. "Don't they know this kind of behavior chills people's hearts? Once you lose the loyalty of your people, the family is finished. How can they be so short-sighted? Why must they grovel and scrape just to survive?"
"When you actually stand in that position, perhaps you'll understand the helplessness."
"Whose side are you on?!" Wu Yi glared at Yang Kai resentfully, irritated that he wasn't taking her side.
Yang Kai quickly raised his hands. "Fine, fine, fine—you talk. I'll shut up and just listen."
As if encouraged, Wu Yi's red lips began to move, and she launched into a torrent of words, pouring out every grievance and injustice she'd suffered over the years. She didn't care whether Yang Kai wanted to hear it or not. The family's cowardice pained her, the
After rambling on for quite a while, Wu Yi's emotions finally calmed somewhat, though her eyes remained swollen like peaches.
Then she abruptly changed the subject, turning to Yang Kai. "That golden spear—was that your doing?"
Yang Kai shook his head decisively.
This woman was still suspicious of him, after all. She knew her own people inside and out—the only unknown factor was Yang Kai, whom they'd picked up along the way.
"Really wasn't you?" Wu Yi didn't seem entirely convinced. "For some reason, I keep feeling like you're not as weak as you appear."
