Although the ceremony didn’t hold much significance for Nyx, becoming dual cultivation partners was a huge life event and couldn’t be treated casually.
She should report her decision to Elder Cyan. Elder Cyan would then pick a date to hold a grand ceremony for them. In the presence of her mentor and friends, they would exchange their heart’s blood and announce their relationship to the heavens to form a bond.
Nyx visited Elder Cyan at night. When he learned the reason for her visit, he felt as if he were seeing his daughter off to get married. He thought, ‘She’s really eager to have a partner. But she’s so young, why the hurry?‘
“I know you two get along well, but it’s too early to become dual cultivation partners. Wait for another few decades or even 100 years, and it won’t be too late.”
In the cultivation world, there were so many old bachelors who were thousands of years old. Compared to them, Nyx and Kian seemed like mere children.
Elder Cyan earnestly advised, “The most important thing for you now is to focus on cultivation.”
Over the long years of cultivation, many people lost their emotions. Even the once passionate and earth–shattering love eventually faded away.
Elder Cyan thought, ‘If they make such a serious decision at such a young age, what if their feelings change in the future? If one of them has a change of heart, won’t they end up as a bitter couple?‘
Breaking a dual cultivation partner contract was no easy task.
Elder Magnus, who had come to Herb Peak Canteen for dinner, dropped by his good friend’s place. Hearing this, he said angrily, “It’s not early at all. Cultivation is important, but isn’t it also crucial to have a dual cultivation partner who understands you?”
He glared at Elder Cyan while secretly sending a message directly into Elder Cyan’s mind, sharing his speculation about Nyx’s background.
If Nyx really was Fiona’s daughter, it would be best to finalize the dual cultivation contract between her and Kian as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the Sublime took her back, they’d be left with regrets.
Elder Cyan’s expression immediately changed. His eyes widened in shock.
Ever since he discovered Nyx’s possible background, he had been trying to find her relatives. But there were so many rabbi demons on Mysticpeak. In such a short time, he couldn’t figure out who had lost their cub.
He wasn’t close to Fiona; they were just acquaintances. To keep a proper distance, he had never paid much attention to Fiona’s appearance and thus didn’t notice that Nyx resembled her.
Elder Cyan wondered, ‘But doesn’t the Sublime have a secret technique to refine vital essence? As the head of the Sublime, Fiona had many admirers but remained single. She shouldn’t have any children…
Besides, Nyx was gentle, pure, and sincere in love, completely different from Fiona.
Despite his doubts, Elder Cyan was still troubled by this news. He was worried that the Sublime might really take Nyx back.
He thought, ‘But if I let her and Kian become dual cultivation partners, what if she, this naive girl, gets too caught up in love and neglects her cultivation?‘
Nyx only saw Elder Magnus and Elder Cyan exchange glances, and then Elder Cyan looked conflicted. She didn’t know what was bothering him.

She thought, ‘No one else can make this decision for me, not even Elder Cyan.’

She held Kian’s hand and said firmly, “Elder Cyan, I’ve made up my mind. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. Don’t worry. Becoming dual cultivation partners won’t hold back our cultivation. Instead, we’ll work even harder.”
After all, they still had to avenge the Linden family.
“Ahem, since you’ve made up your mind, I naturally won’t stop you.” Elder Cyan found a way to relent and no longer strongly objected, but still worriedly warned her.
He said, “But you must remember that even if you become dual cultivation partners, you’re still young. Don’t be in a rush to have children.”
In the cultivation world, the idea of having and raising children right after getting married wasn’t encouraged. Nyx’s talent and potential mustn’t be wasted.
Although little bunnies must be really cute… Elder Cyan secretly longed for some fluffy little grand–disciples… but that wouldn’t do! Absolutely not!
Nyx was at a loss for words. She thought Elder Cyan was overthinking things. “No, I won’t. Elder Cyan, don’t worry.”
Based on her past experience, she probably wouldn’t have cubs in this trial world. Otherwise, with such a strong bond, she wouldn’t be able to leave this world smoothly after the trial.
Nyx’s answer was honest and direct, but Kian was far less composed than her. His earlobes turned red with a rush of blood.
Elder Magnus noticed this with his sharp eyes and couldn’t help but sneer. He thought, “They’ve lived together for so long, and he’s still a virgin. This kid is so old fashioned.’
He counted on his fingers and picked a date. “How about the 26th of this month?”
‘Isn’t it a bit too soon?‘ Elder Cyan thought, hesitating to speak. But seeing that both Nyx and Kian were eager, he didn’t object in the end. “I’ll preside over the ceremony for you.”
He thought, ‘It’s a pity that Mr. Barrett hasn’t left seclusion yet. Otherwise, it should be the venerable Mr. Barrett presiding over it for them.’
Time passed quickly during cultivation. No one knew when Merlin, the head of the Celestial, would come out of seclusion.
***
After the New Year, in March, the Sect Competition of the Cultivation World was held as scheduled in the Celestial, but Merlin still hadn’t shown up.
The elders took care of all the matters related to the Sect Competition. Although Nyx wasn’t an elder, she was also swamned with work.
As the sect’s latest popular spot, the Herb Peak Canteen had become a key part of receiving disciples from various sects. She spent days and nights planting vegetables and storing food.
She also had to instruct Ernest to lead the canteen servants to prepare the menu, leaving her with little time to spend with
Kian.
Even though she got home late after a long day, seeing the warm soup and the made–up bed prepared by her considerate partner warmed Nyx’s heart.
Kian was a man of few words, but she couldn’t just ignore him.
Thinking of this, Nyx jumped up and pounced on him. The two of them fell onto the bed with a thud. Fortunately, Kian was

strong enough to take the impact.
He reached out to hold the soft rabbit. His fingertips brushed against the delicate skin of her waist. His eyes darkened immediately, and his Adam’s apple bobbed.
He had changed a lot since they became dual cultivation partners. The difference between a boy and a mature man was quite obvious.
Despite his eagerness, when Kian saw Nyx’s slightly tired face, he held her in his arms. He patted her like a little cub and coaxed. “Get some sleep, Nykie.”
He knew that Nyx never cultivated through the night. Instead, she kept the mortal habit of snuggling under the covers and sleeping soundly.
Nyx had been ready to disregard her sleep and dual cultivate with him, but his words stunned her. She raised her eyebrows in confusion and sized him up, thinking, ‘Isn’t he eager for dual cultivation?‘
Kian was speechless. Even after being together for a long time, he still couldn’t stand her gaze. His cheeks flushed, and his fingers unconsciously tightened until his knuckles turned white.
Even without looking at him, Nyx could clearly sense how uneven his breathing was.
The Soul–Connecting Bracelets, which had recognized her and Kian as their masters, honestly conveyed his state of mind to her–excitement mixed with restlessness, restlessness mixed with joy, joy mixed with nervousness, and nervousness mixed with restraint…
When she leaned down and kissed his handsome face, his complex emotions instantly reached a peak, intensifying tenfold.
“Cultivation helps relieve fatigue.” Nyx sat up cross legged, pretending to be in a state of pure–hearted meditation.
