Shen Yu could have just teleported both of them but he wanted to spend some quality time with Ying Yue so they casually walked to the Sect's exit while talking about random topics.
It was sort of soothing and comforting for Shen Yu who wanted the feeling of being loved for years. Now that his wish was fulfilled, he was truly happy and enjoying it.
Even the random topics he thought would be boring were exciting when he talked with Ying Yue. She sometimes told her story and sometimes he told his story from Earth, of course after mixing some bullshit exaggeration.
He didn't really care if Ying Yue knew who he was but explaining about Earth and stuff was troublesome and he wanted to stay away from it. He didn't like his past life one bit and would rather not talk about it.
As they conversed, they finally reached the exit which was a tall entrance gate made from red thick pillars of unknown material. On top of the gate, Divine Harem Sect was written in large words.
"Let's go!"
Shen Yu said as he crossed the gate along with Ying Yue. They both walked on the stoned stairs leading downwards. As he landed in the last stair, Shen Yu said.
"There are two formation surrounding and protecting the Sect so it's nearly impossible to come and go without actually knowing the two Formation. I can easily get out and for you, there is the identity token. Whenever you want to enter or exit the sect, just hold the identity token and the formation won't affect you."
Upon hearing Shen Yu's explanation, Ying Yue took out the identity jade and Instantly felt as if a fog that had blurred her mind was dissipated. She held it tightly and looked around, feeling as if she could see through a hidden viel casted over the Sect.
"Let's go. You can lead the way."
Shen Yu said, taking her hand. Ying Yue smiled and nodded. She began walking as she lead the way to outside of the sect. The distance wasn't large since Shen Yu had only created the formation in small area. The illusion was what it made look very big.
That's why they soon found themselves standing in a lush forest filled with long pointy trees with many small plants and vines growing around. Pebbles and big rocks were scattered around due to change in weathers and air.
Ying Yue turned around, looking at the majestic sect that stood on a small hill. She could even see the Entrance gate from there. Guessing something, she pocketed her identity token.
The moment her touch on the identity jade was broken, the surroundings changed and all around them was nothing but lush dense forest. It was as if the sect she had seen was nothing more than her hallucination.
"That reminds me, you don't have a Storage Ring."
Shen Yu said, seeing how Ying was storing her Identity token in her black robes. He quickly made a relatively small storage ring and streched his hand.
Ying Yue was more than happy to take a gift from Shen Yu, but what she expected nothing happened. Shen Yu didn't give her the ring but instead smiled and slid the small and beautiful storage ring, which didn't look much different from normal rings, in her ring finger.
Ying Yue squealed in surprise but then a beautiful smile blossomed on her face. She looked at her hand and warmness crept to her cheeks.
'Master actually put a ring on my finger. That's only married couples do, right? Right? Meaning he really had accepted me as his wife? Wait! Why am I doubting him? Of course, he's true to his words and had already acknowledged me as her wife. Hehehe, i can't wait for the day he would take me completely.'
Shen Yu titled her head looking at the pleased expression on Ying Yue's face. Why was she being so happy on just a storage ring? It was then he remembered that storage rings were rare in this side of Hollow Mountains so maybe that's why Ying Yue was so happy. She had her first storage ring.
"Hmm, should we just walk or..."
Shen Yu didn't finish as his gaze landed on a Spiritual Creature a little distance away. He smiled and said.
"Let's go."
Shen Yu said as he began to drag Ying Yue towards the place where the Spiritual Creature was resting. Ying Yue who had mind completely out of the world after getting the ring didn't even say anything and let Shen Yu drag her.
They reached the Spiritual Creature and stopped as Shen Yu judged the tall Spiritual Creature. It was a black horse.
The stallion lay in a serene slumber, its jet-black coat shimmering faintly under the moonlight. This magnificent creature, with muscles like coiled steel, exuded an aura of quiet power even in repose. Its long, flowing mane cascaded over its neck like a dark waterfall, adding to its ethereal beauty. The soft, rhythmic rise and fall of its breathing created a peaceful ambiance, contrasting with the latent strength that the horse possessed.
This was no ordinary horse; it was a spiritual Creature and not just any ordinary Spiritual Creature, its lineage tracing back to the legendary steeds of the Divine realms. Its hooves, although now tucked beneath its body, were as strong as tempered steel, capable of carrying it across vast distances with supernatural speed. Even in sleep, the air around the horse seemed to shimmer with a subtle, otherworldly energy.
'Nice! This one will do. He's perfect to be my mount. But will it agree? Hmm, let's see if it's intelligent.'
Shen Yu was going to say something but stopped. He realised how stupid his thought process was and shook his head. Some habits were hard to due and he couldn't change overnight.
He narrowed his eyes and tapped on the ground as it trembled slightly, stirring the stallion's sleep as it woke up. The stallion's eyes, glowed with an inner fire, hinting at its profound intelligence and searching for the worm who had disturbed its sleep.
Soon, its gaze landed on the two humans.
