Dual Cultivator Reborn [System In The Cultivation World] Chapter 992: Meeting with Aella and aira

"Are you interested in coming with me?" Yohan asked Lee Qi, wondering if she wished to accompany him back to the Lin clan. His intention was to bring her into the fold of the clan and introduce her to the others, as she was the newest member of his family.

To Yohan's astonishment, Lee Qi declined with a shake of her head. She pulled him into a tight embrace, snuggling against him before finally meeting his gaze with a serene expression on her lovely face.

"Not this time, Yohan... I will meet them eventually. You should return home and spend time with Lady Jasmine and Lady Alena. You have been away for so long; you don't realize how much they worried while you were gone. Now that you've returned, it is your duty to care for them and bring them joy, even if only for a short while!" Lee Qi whispered. Yohan fell silent as he processed her words, eventually nodding in agreement. She was right; he needed to reconnect with his loved ones, and Lee Qi was still needed here.

"I understand. If you require anything at all, let me know. Provided everything goes smoothly, I shall return tomorrow!" Yohan promised, pressing a kiss to Lee Qi's forehead. She nodded simply, and the two shared a few more moments of conversation. Shortly after, Yohan deactivated the barrier he had erected around the tent for their privacy. Once the ward was lifted, he vanished into thin air right before her eyes.

As soon as he departed, Lee Qi let out a heavy sigh and prepared to exit the tent. However, the moment she stepped outside, she froze in shock. A massive crowd had assembled, encircling the tent completely. Every eye was fixed on her, including those of the other representatives Alena had appointed to oversee the people in this area.

Out of the ten ladies, two had briefly encountered Yohan before Lee Qi did, though their interactions were fleeting. The remaining seven representatives had also hoped for an audience with Yohan, but they were denied the chance while he was occupied with Lee Qi. These women had attempted to approach the tent earlier, only to find their path blocked by an invisible force.

Flustered by the intense scrutiny, Lee Qi’s face flushed with embarrassment. She felt both humiliated and bewildered, unsure of how to explain herself or handle the situation. Steeling her nerves, she finally cleared her throat to address them.

"Yohan will return tomorrow. If you wish to see him, you must wait one more day!" she declared to the nine beautiful women standing before her. Having delivered the news, she beat a hasty retreat, leaving the crowd in a state of confusion.

Following her departure, the nine representatives traded puzzled looks, unable to make sense of what had just transpired.

Meanwhile, Yohan hovered in the sky with his hands clasped, gazing back toward the camp. A bittersweet smile touched his lips as he observed the scene below. He felt a twinge of embarrassment and guilt for leaving Lee Qi to face that awkward situation alone.

"Forgive me, Lee Qi..." he murmured. With that, he turned his gaze toward the Lin clan, intending to fly off. However, something suddenly seized his attention. He sensed two formidable presences rapidly approaching his location. Without hesitation, Yohan accelerated toward them with lightning speed, his expression turning grim.

Ding!

[Extreme killing intent detected]

A system notification rang out in Yohan's mind. Hearing the warning, he tightened his grip. Soon, two figures became visible, waiting for him mid-air; they were Aella and Aira.

The duo also sensed Yohan's arrival. Both Aella and Aira were taken aback upon seeing him in the flesh; his striking appearance and the powerful aura he projected far exceeded their expectations.

"Who are you, and what business do you have within the territory of the Lin clan?" Yohan demanded, eyeing the two beautiful women. He immediately identified the source of the killing intent he had sensed. It emanated from the woman who was glaring at him with clear hostility. It was obvious she harbored ill intentions, standing in stark contrast to her companion, who appeared much more composed. Since this was his first time meeting them, he was wary of their identities and their reasons for seeking him out.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Yohan. We finally cross paths," Aella replied, a soft smile gracing her features. Yohan looked at her with confusion; she spoke as if they were already acquainted. Suddenly, he recalled Jasmine mentioning his aunt—a powerful warlord currently staying with the Lin clan.

"Aunt Aella?" he questioned. Upon hearing his words, Aella nodded and glided toward him until she stood directly in his presence.

"The rumors regarding you weren't exaggerated. You truly are a handsome man; it's no wonder you are so popular with the young ladies and have acquired so many talented partners," Aella remarked playfully, reaching out to gently touch Yohan's cheek with a friendly smile. Conversely, Aira was seething as she watched Aella's familiar behavior. She struggled to suppress her murderous urges toward Yohan, blaming him for the humiliation Aella had suffered because of Evelyn.

"It is good to meet you, Aunt Aella... but perhaps you could tell your friend to rein in her killing intent? I find myself wondering what I could have possibly done to offend her so deeply," Yohan noted, glancing toward Aira. He was curious why this woman treated him like an arch-enemy when they had never met.

"How dare you..." Aira hissed, her fists trembling with rage. She prepared to lung at him, intending to subdue him and drag him back to the Imperial Family. With Yohan alone, she viewed this as the perfect opportunity to strike before Evelyn or Kana could intervene to protect him.

"I am unaware of what personal grudge you hold against me, but considering this is our first meeting, you are already testing my patience!" Yohan growled. Suddenly, the terrifying pressure of a Heavenly Soul Realm Cultivation erupted from him, accompanied by overwhelming killing intent. In a flash, Yohan appeared inches from Aira's face. His movement was so rapid that neither Aella nor Aira could track it. Aira’s entire frame shook with instinctive terror; despite her own high cultivation, she felt completely suppressed by his power.

"Move a single muscle, and you die!" Yohan threatened, his hand clamping firmly around Aira's throat. He stared directly into her eyes, mirroring the same lethal intent she had shown him moments before.
