For the next several days, Yang Yuan stayed overnight at the Crown Prince's Mansion, feeling as if he had truly developed a taste for the marrow.
Qian Renxue felt the same, and the way she looked at Yang Yuan became increasingly affectionate.
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo eventually noticed the anomaly.
"Snake Lance, don't you feel that the relationship between the Young Lord and Lord Yang Yuan is much closer than before?" Porcupinefish Douluo asked.
"Nonsense, I'm not blind. Don't forget, I've known Yang Yuan longer than you have," Snake Lance Douluo replied with an annoyed expression.
Porcupinefish Douluo hesitated slightly and said, "Then do you think we should report the matter between the Young Lord and Lord Yang Yuan to the High Priest?"
Snake Lance Douluo rolled his eyes at him.
"Report what?"
"What is there worth reporting? Do you really think that if the High Priest found out something happened between the Young Lord and Yang Yuan, he would break up the happy couple?"
"I think you're just meddling in things that don't concern you. We are the Young Lord's people now. If the Young Lord wants to tell the High Priest about such private matters, she will tell him herself."
"Moreover, given Yang Yuan's strength, if the High Priest found out about this, he would probably be clapping his hands in approval."
Porcupinefish Douluo gave an embarrassed smile.
"That's true. Why should we worry?"
Pausing for a moment, he added, "By the way, why do you think the Young Lord suddenly bestowed Spirit Bones two days ago?"
"You should know, those were Spirit Bones of over thirty thousand years. The Young Lord actually gave us two each. I almost thought she was planning to have us assassinate Ning Fengzhi or that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"Where do you think the Young Lord got those Spirit Bones, and why is she being so generous?"
Snake Lance Douluo looked at his friend and sighed.
"The Young Lord didn't bestow Spirit Bones earlier or later, but chose to do so specifically in the two days after Yang Yuan returned. What does that tell you?"
"It means there's a high probability these Spirit Bones were brought back by Yang Yuan as a gift for the Young Lord. Right now, the Young Lord likely isn't lacking these four Spirit Bones, otherwise, they never would have fallen to us brothers."
Hearing this, Porcupinefish Douluo immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Where did Lord Yang Yuan get so many ten-thousand-year spirit bones?"
Snake Lance Douluo said, "Alright, stop thinking about all that nonsense."
Two more days passed.
The frequency of Yang Yuan's visits to the Crown Prince's Mansion finally decreased.
This was, of course, at Qian Renxue's request.
Although she also enjoyed the intimacy and was even happy that Yang Yuan lingered over her body so much, she had responsibilities.
After all, she wasn't as idle as Yang Yuan; not only did she have to Cultivate, but she also had to occasionally deal with court affairs.
Even with the help of the trusted aides sent by her grandfather, she couldn't completely disconnect from the imperial court.
On the other side, Yang Yuan was somewhat disappointed, but on second thought, his life these past few days had indeed been decadent. He could only suppress his desires and resolved to create a Dual Cultivation Technique.
A win-win for everyone.
The Grand Dao of Yin and Yang is also a Dao!
The Method of Dual Cultivation is also a Method.
Thus, Yang Yuan continued to comprehend Laws while taking time to research a Cultivation Technique.
With Gu Yuena present, his speed in comprehending Laws was lightning-fast. Even without being fully immersed like he was in the Star Dou Great Forest, his progress would not be slow.
When it came to researching the Dual Cultivation Technique, Yang Yuan was exceptionally energetic, intending to produce high-quality work through meticulous effort.
Although he had no experience creating such a technique, with his current vision and strength, as long as he had a direction, it wasn't difficult to create one from a high-level perspective.
Besides that, he ate and drank as usual, and his days were full of comfort.
At the same time, after saying goodbye to the Three Committee Members and under their reluctant gazes, he left Heaven Dou Academy and moved into the Qi Tian Royal Residence specially prepared for him by Qian Renxue.
After all, given Yang Yuan's strength, it wouldn't sound good if he continued to be a student at Heaven Dou Academy.
Of course, Yang Yuan still held the title of Guest Elder at Heaven Dou Academy. If he ever felt like playing teacher, he could still visit.
On the second day after Yang Yuan moved into the Qi Tian Royal Residence,
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ning Rongrong also finished absorbing their respective spirit rings.
The strength of all three had progressed by leaps and bounds after absorbing all the Spirit Bones.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling directly achieved a Breakthrough to Spirit Emperor.
Although Ning Rongrong didn't break through to Spirit Emperor, she reached Rank 57.
Regarding Yang Yuan's gift of Spirit Bones to the three, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Dugu Bo, and Ye Lingling's mother naturally couldn't remain silent.
Although they knew that given Yang Yuan's strength, there were likely few treasures left in the world that could catch his eye, they had to show their gratitude.
Thus, the three families arrived almost together, each having prepared a heavy gift.
Dugu Bo goes without saying; he carried carefully brewed spiritual wine and rushed to Yang Yuan's door.
Ning Fengzhi, having heard that Yang Yuan moved into the Qi Tian Royal Residence, specifically selected twelve maidservants to be sent over.
In his words, Yang Yuan couldn't possibly manage the massive Qi Tian Royal Residence by himself, right?
However, this old fellow also played a little trick. Among the twelve maidservants he sent, two were personal maids who had grown up with Ning Rongrong from childhood. They were also little Geniuses with decent talent, and they were sent along as well.
There was no need to say what Ning Fengzhi's intentions were.
It was precisely because Ning Fengzhi had too many calculations in his heart that Yang Yuan could never be as close to him as he was with Dugu Bo.
As for Ye Qingyu, she also prepared many spiritual flowers and Spiritual Plants. Although they weren't particularly precious, the sentiment was conveyed.
Inside the Qi Tian Royal Residence, both host and guests were enjoying themselves.
But just as the atmosphere was heating up, Yang Yuan suddenly shuddered.
A surge of spirit power fluctuated and spread out from his body, but it was instantly retracted by him.
Of course, everyone still sensed this fluctuation.
Dugu Bo asked in surprise, "Xiao Yuan, did you just have a Breakthrough?"
Yang Yuan nodded with a smile and said, "Good luck, I've reached Rank 80!"
"Hiss—"
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Dugu Bo, and Ye Qingyu all sucked in a breath of cold air.
Although they knew Yang Yuan was strong and possessed peerless talent, witnessing his Breakthrough process with their own eyes and looking at his young face, they still couldn't help but be shocked.
Wasn't this Breakthrough a bit too casual?
He just suddenly broke through while chatting; it was easier than eating or drinking water.
And what he broke through was the Rank 80 Bottleneck.
One must know that because of his Spirit, Ning Fengzhi had been stuck at this Bottleneck for nearly twenty years.
After a brief moment of shock, everyone quickly recovered.
Shortly after, everyone took their leave.
Before Dugu Bo left, he suddenly pulled Yang Yuan to the side.
Just as Yang Yuan was feeling puzzled, Dugu Bo suddenly said in an experienced tone:
"Xiao Yuan, you're not young anymore. While Cultivating is important, you should also consider your life's major events."
"I don't care about those two girls from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Nine Heart Begonia family, but look at Yan Yan. She's in her twenties and is almost becoming an old maid."
Yang Yuan said, "I'm so fickle; aren't you angry, old man?"
Dugu Bo curled his lip and glanced at Yang Yuan.
"What's the use of me being angry? This old man is no match for you, kid."
"Or rather, if I told you to only marry Yan Yan, would you really only marry Yan Yan?"
Yang Yuan gave a light cough.
He still respected the old man very much.
In front of him, he wouldn't say things like 'only children make choices, I want them all.'
