"For rescue matters, speed is crucial. If known in advance, it wouldn't be this easy."
Shen Wang felt pleased and laughed, "You're the key this time. As promised, I won't harm you. Just be my wife from now on."
Silver Moon blushed and could only say, "Meeting you is truly unlucky, even my body must be given to you. Truly an adversary."
"There's no way around it. I can't let you go back."
Shen Wang said helplessly, "You know too many secrets. Your departure would be a threat to me."
Silver Moon sighed as well, looking up at Shen Wang, her gaze complex, "You could have caught Yin Mo back then, why grab me?"
"He might not leak information, and besides, we're more familiar. This way, there's an opportunity to reach the current situation. If it were him, even if he doesn't die, he'd become a slave, possibly preferring death over speaking."
Shen Wang said.
"Any other reasons?" Silver Moon questioned softly.
"Also, I like you. I wanted to steal you away as my wife instead of leaving you as an enemy, so I took action."
Shen Wang didn't hide this side of himself.
Silver Moon's face grew redder and she felt a slight joy in her heart; this guy actually liked her. Although his methods were unsavory, it was better than having no feelings at all.
"Next, stay with me to develop feelings."
Shen Wang held Silver Moon's hand, "Doing it all at once feels a bit odd, makes me seem like I'm forcing you."
"Aren't you just forcing me?"
Silver Moon retorted, "You might as well be straightforward, become husband and wife first and then talk feelings; I'd be more at ease."
Shen Wang was shocked, his eyes widened at Silver Moon, "You're actually such a beauty."
"I like fast solutions." Silver Moon wasn't embarrassed. Working in the Demon Suppression Department, she has seen a lot and let go of some things; it's just instinct to be a bit shy.
Take her current relationship with Shen Wang: if they don't break through quickly, it would be awkward for her, and she wouldn't be free in anything she does.
"You said it yourself, so I can't possibly be hesitant."
Shen Wang directly hugged Silver Moon and gave her a kiss, "From now on, stay with me, disguised as my maid. After returning to the Hundred Refining Sect, we'll do things accordingly; conditions here aren't suitable,"
Silver Moon nodded with a blush, "I'll also need to disguise myself then."
"Of course, if people recognize you, my identity would be ruined."
Shen Wang nodded, holding Silver Moon, "From now on, I'll call you Xiaoyue, my identity at the Hundred Refining Sect is Wang Sheng. How are your methods for hiding cultivation? If you can't fool most people, you may not be able to appear in public often."
"I have a secret technique to hide cultivation, confident that Nascent Soul Cultivators won't detect my disguise without thorough investigation."
Silver Moon said confidently.
"That's sufficient."
Shen Wang switched topics, "I still don't know your real name."
"I'm Song Yinyue. Our royal family females mostly prefer names related to the moon; males often relate to the sun."
Silver Moon explained.
"Makes sense, given it's called the Sun and Moon Dynasty."
Shen Wang nodded, "If there's a chance later, let's visit your parents."
"Doesn't matter if we visit or not. Feelings within the royal family are relatively detached."
Silver Moon showed little interest.
"We'll visit when I'm strong enough."
Shen Wang said, early-stage Nascent Soul isn't strong enough; it's best to progress another stage, if not reaching Nascent Soul Great Perfection.
"I think it's better for you to keep a low profile for now; outside is dangerous. The war between Demon Race and Human Race is enough to shake the nation's foundation, disturbing the continent's situation. Various characters will emerge."
Silver Moon warned.
"I understand; without good reason, I won't foolishly step out and attract hatred."
Shen Wang replied, feeling satisfied seeing Silver Moon concerned about him, but fearing she might be pretending, he dared not release her.
"Tell me about the royal family's situation, for example, whether the Sixth Prince stands a chance to become the next Emperor."
Shen Wang still didn't fully understand the strength of the royal family, and directly asked Silver Moon.
"Not much hope."
Silver Moon shook her head, "You know, with a harem of three thousand beauties, the Emperor's children are numerous; some were even born princes. The more people, the fiercer the competition. He's barely ranked within the top four among the many princes."
Shen Wang nodded, "You're a princess; what's your rank?"
"Heh."
Silver Moon chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Since I only hold a minor position in the Demon Suppression Department, naturally I don't rank high, though I'm still decent among the princesses."
"So there're many princesses suitable to be my Dao companion."
Shen Wang grinned devilishly.
"Keep dreaming. The better ones are often targeted beforehand, some even already engaged; either they marry now or have lovers. There are barely any single ones like me."
Silver Moon didn't want Shen Wang to admire other women while being involved with her, so she spoke unfavorably.
"Alright, tell me about the more formidable princes and royal strongholds so I can be prepared."
Shen Wang didn't pursue this topic further, regardless of whether Silver Moon sincerely wanted to stay with him; talking about other women in front of her isn't wise.
"I need to know your exact strength to determine who might threaten you."
Silver Moon spoke meaningfully, although she knew Shen Wang's hidden power was strong, she didn't know his exact cultivation level nor whether it was due to a magical treasure.
"You can ignore ordinary Golden Core Cultivators."
Shen Wang smiled.
Silver Moon still couldn't grasp Shen Wang's cultivation; if Nascent Soul, it's too unbelievable. Golden Core would seem too weak for her.
"Then not many."
Silver Moon pondered for a while, then shared information about some people with Shen Wang.
As they discussed, the Flying Ship advanced quickly, arriving at Kunyu Mountain before they knew it.
After landing, Shen Wang opened a Dao Array and surveyed the entire mountain. After a bit of thought, he decided to separate the outer and mid-mountain regions. Hereafter, the Shen Family will reside at the mountain base where space is ample for Shen Family survivors to multiply for several generations.
"Oops, I forgot about the remnants of Dragon Qi on me."
Shen Wang suddenly remembered something and decided not to meet Lan Kui, but instead communicated remotely with Zheng Yunshu and others.
As he spoke, he reached a spacious area and waved his hand, causing spatial fluctuations and over a hundred people to appear.
These were Shen Family survivors; the others died, fled, or surrendered, leaving just over one hundred people. If he hadn't intervened, surviving even ten would be doubtful.
"I've done all I can for the family, considered my utmost duty."
Shen Wang wasn't overly concerned about the family's fate reduced to such few people.
The so-called family relations after three generations aren't as close. He rescued all those trapped, with a clear conscience.
He removed the power putting everyone to sleep; in the mountain breeze, those with higher cultivation began to wake.
Shen Wang's father Shen Qingyun trembled and was the first to open his eyes while cautiously guarding nearby, only to see Shen Wang and becoming slightly dazed, "Wang'Er?"
"Dad, it's me. You're all safe."
Shen Wang smiled, "Here is temporarily isolated from the outside; no enemies. Stay here for recovery and then consider family reconstruction."
Shen Qingyun gazed at the surrounding barren area, incredulous, "How did we get here? Did you do it?"
"With the aid of a high person, don't ask much, dad; settle here comfortably."
Shen Wang shook his head, not intending to reveal much about his situation. His current strength doesn't allow him to be ostentatious; else, the disparity alone could cause numerous issues.
"Aid from a high person!"
Shen Qingyun took a deep breath, "Can we meet them? I should thank them on behalf of the Shen Family."
"No need, I invited the high person to help. They reside on the mountain and aren't meeting people now. Any issues can be addressed to me."
Shen Wang decided to leave a mystery, letting his father and others think the mountain's high person was their savior, when it was actually him. Explaining otherwise would be complicated and possibly alarming, so transitioning with the guise of a high person was most fitting.
"Wang'Er, what's your relationship with the high person?"
Shen Qingyun asked curiously.
"It's like teacher and student; don't ask further. After waking everyone, settle here. There's much to do next."
