After six hours of detoxification.
Lin Xiao sat up, tidied his hair, then gently leaned over and softly touched his beloved wife’s fair face. "Wanning, are you okay?"
"My Lord, Wanning seems to... seems to... have been to a very, very beautiful place... and... doesn’t know how to co back..."
At this mont, Zhu Wanning’s cheeks were flushed, her beautiful eyes rolled upward, her gaze distant and intoxicated, her crimson lips parting and closing. She seed unable to utter a complete sentence.
Seeing the usually cold senior sister of Phoenix Caw Peak reduced to such a state by his actions, suffering such severe poisoning, Lin Xiao was heartbroken.
"Alas, that final level of the Hehuan Sect’s ascendant old ancestor’s technique, the ’Celestial Man Volu,’ is indeed too fierce. Except for Martial Uncle Su, I’m afraid only Master, who is such a peerless woman in this world, can withstand it."
"No matter. Although my True Yuan is exhausted now, and my Formless Sword Body is in a cooling period, I absolutely cannot let Wanning suffer like this!"
Lin Xiao made up his mind. He had always been a man of action.
He bent down, first kissing Zhu Wanning’s slightly pursed crimson lips. Then, he guided his slender, skillful fingers along her smooth lower abdon, towards the Taiyi, Celestial Pivot, and Belt Vessel acupoints.
Then, pressing his fingertips and combining the acupuncture thods recorded in the ’Beiming Immortal Skill,’ he gently massaged each minor circulatory cycle, trying to help his wife clear the discomfort in her acupoints.
"My Lord... you... you really are..."
"The world’s greatest man... AH... AH!"
Zhu Wanning’s beautiful legs tightened, her toes wriggling, kicking the high heels on the bed to the floor. Then, she simply closed her beautiful eyes, letting her husband do as he pleased. She knew that even though the process was sowhat shaful, her husband must have his profound reasons!
After a long while, with a WHOOSH, the sound of her True Yuan boiling and impacting her Dantian like a clear stream echoed. She felt a soothing sensation spread throughout her body; the residual poison was completely eliminated. At this mont, she felt as if she were in a fairyland, lost in the feeling for a long, long ti, finding it difficult to pull herself away.
After an unknown period, the various illusions in her brain disappeared. She felt invigorated and clear-headed; her spiritual altar was serene. Moreover, she didn’t know if it was a sensory illusion, but upon examining her body with her spiritual sense, she found that her cultivation level was stronger than before! She was only one step away from the Nascent Soul Realm!
She was both surprised and delighted. Instinctively, she turned to her side, only to see a handso young man, as beautiful as jade and possessing an peerless deanor, looking at her with a gentle smile. That smile was just as gentle and sweet as always. He was the man she, Zhu Wanning, had chosen for life...
"My Lord..."
After these three words gently left her lips, everything suddenly went black before her eyes. Her soft body weakened, and she fainted again.
"My dear wife, take a good rest," Lin Xiao murmured. "After cultivating with your husband this ti, you’ll be stronger when you wake up. You ought to know... the final level of the ’Celestial Man Volu’s’ ntal thod is the most domineering dual cultivation technique in the world. It’s normal for your body not to withstand it imdiately."
Lin Xiao covered Wanning, his wife whose exquisitely shaped body was like flawless white jade, with the quilt. He lovingly kissed her forehead once more. Only then did he retract the eight vines conjured from his Wood Attribute Divine Skills and quietly walked out.
As he passed by the landscape screen in the outer hall, his toe suddenly stumbled on sothing. Upon closer examination, it turned out to be an erald green, fish-shaped Jade Pendant. The top of the Jade Pendant was moist with so kind of liquid, appearing crystal clear against the jade’s material.
Huh? Isn’t this Martial Uncle Su’s sect leader’s Jade Pendant? How did it get here? Lin Xiao wondered. Could it be... she didn’t leave at all earlier?! She’s been behind this screen the whole ti?
A startling thought struck Lin Xiao, making his body tremble. He nearly dropped the Jade Pendant!
What in the world... Her carefully constructed image is completely shattered! Or am I, Lin Xiao, just too charming, causing them to lose themselves in love?
However, co to think of it, Martial Uncle Su does seem like the type of person who would do sothing like this...
Forget it. I’ll find an opportunity later to return the Jade Pendant to her and have a good talk with her about it!
Lin Xiao shook his head, instinctively cleaning the Jade Pendant with his True Yuan and carefully wiping it. The Jade Pendant shone with an even more dazzling luster.
However, after doing all this, he couldn’t help feeling a tinge of regret. Damn it, I just wiped it clean! This is Martial Uncle Su’s personal item. I should have first... Ugh, what am I thinking! Lin Xiao, you’re a respected cultivator of the Righteous Path! The strongest chief disciple of the Qinglan Sect! Don’t you dare beco like those shaless, lecherous old demons from the Hehuan Sect!
After ntally scolding himself, Lin Xiao put the Jade Pendant into his robe.
Next, it’s ti for the ’family dinner’ I promised Master, he thought. I wonder how surprised my three junior sisters will be when they see , their Eldest Senior Brother, appear safe and sound? Especially Ying Ying, that little girl. I bet she’d be so excited she’d jump on my head!
A smile touched Lin Xiao’s lips, a sense of anticipation blooming in his heart.
「Qinglan Sect, Outer Mountain Gate.」
A petite and adorable young girl, around the age of the hairpin ceremony, rode a majestic white dragon that shimred with divine light and exuded a powerful aura. Trailing behind her, a giant Lion Hawk Beast flew abreast, its wingspan dominating the space before the mountain gate.
Confronting her were two equally stunning young won, each with her unique charm, along with several gate-keeping disciples of the Qinglan Sect.
"Second Sister! Third Sister! If you insist on stopping , don’t bla Ying Ying for being rciless!" Lu Yingying bit her lip, her small face glacial. Her voice was utterly indifferent, yet it carried an intense murderous aura that starkly contrasted with her delicate and lovely appearance.
"Yingying! You can’t leave now! Stop this nonsense!" cried the leading girl, dressed in red, with an athletic figure and a high ponytail. She advanced on her sword, stopping before the gigantic Dragon Head. With an anxious expression, she said, "Never mind that the Demon Sect is plotting against us, their ambition to destroy our Qinglan Sect growing more blatant by the day. But Eldest Senior Brother’s body is barely cold! As his most beloved little junior sister, how can you just leave him like this?! How will you live with yourself!?"
"Eldest Senior Brother..."
Upon hearing those words, the proud girl atop the dragon seed to lt like snow in spring; the killing intent vanished from her face. She lowered her head and began to whimper, "SOB... SOB... Yingying... Yingying, of course, doesn’t want to leave Eldest Senior Brother! But... he’s not here anymore! Qinglan Mountain ans nothing to Yingying now!"
"So... all Yingying can do is fulfill his last wish! After that... I’ll go to the ends of the earth to find him! Or... find the most potent Spirit Pill in this world to bring him back to life!"
"His soul must still exist sowhere in this Primordial Universe! As long as I search with all my heart, I will find it!"
"Even if it takes a thousand years! Or ten thousand years!"
"Yingying is different from you two! Since we were children, Eldest Senior Brother has always been the light Yingying would sacrifice anything to follow! Without Eldest Senior Brother, Yingying’s life has no aning!"
"If you two can’t understand this, then fine, but why... why must you tornt so?!"
By the end, the young girl was sobbing uncontrollably, heedless of her appearance. At this mont, she was just a helpless child, the formidable, world-destroying aura she had exuded monts before completely gone.
"Yingying, I..." Guo Yourong’s heart ached seeing her little junior sister like this, and her eyes instantly reddened. She had always been strict in raising this junior sister and, at this mont, found herself at a loss for words.
The gate-keeping disciples and so outer sect disciples of Divine Phoenix Peak who had followed them had already vaguely heard the tragic news about Senior Brother Lin. Seeing Junior Sister Lu so grief-stricken, they too were overco with sorrow.
A pall of sorrow hung over the scene.
"Yingying, can Third Sister say sothing?" a gentle voice interrupted.
Everyone present turned towards the sound. They saw a young woman in a moon-white gown, her figure graceful and her face gentle and beautiful. She held a Zither in her arms as she slowly ascended, landing securely beside the white dragon.
"Third Senior Sister... even you... you want to stop Yingying too?" Lu Yingying wiped her tears, her small mouth pouting as she looked accusingly at the beautiful senior sister before her. Over the years on Divine Phoenix Peak, apart from Eldest Senior Brother, she felt closest to this gentle, knowledgeable, and seemingly endlessly patient Third Senior Sister.
"No," Chu Youwei said, her lips curving into a soft smile. "Not only will I not stop you, but I feel the sa way. I believe Eldest Senior Brother is still sowhere in this world! You should know... he’s the Son of Heaven’s Path who defeated Ye Chen, that so-called Son of Destiny. He won’t disappear so easily!" As she spoke, her soft, charming eyes glead with iron-like determination.
"So then? Senior Sister, will you complete Eldest Senior Brother’s last wish with , and then... go find him?" Lu Yingying’s eyes widened, flashing with pure, eager light.
"Yes," Chu Youwei nodded, then gently added, "But we’ll have to postpone it for now. Eldest Senior Brother was raised by Master. Right now, Master’s grief is surely no less than ours. As disciples, we should stay and comfort her before we leave, shouldn’t we?"
"If..." At this, Fairy Qinse’s eyes also reddened. She gazed towards the horizon as if speaking to soone far away. "If Eldest Senior Brother’s soul were here with us now, he would probably want us to do this. After all... the person he respected most in his life was Master."
"I..." Lu Yingying was deeply shaken by these words. After a few monts of silence, she wiped her tears. "Alright, Third Senior Sister! Yingying... I’ll listen to you and stay for now!"
"Good girl. So obedient. No wonder you’re Eldest Senior Brother’s most beloved little junior sister." A faint, bittersweet smile touched Chu Youwei’s lips.
Guo Yourong was now crying tears of joy. Forgetting any past grievances, she took Chu Youwei’s hand and walked over. The three sisters looked at each other for a long ti. Countless sweet, joyous mories from their childhood, and the deep-seated sisterly bond in their hearts, resurfaced.
Finally, catalyzed by the sa emotion, the three peerless fairies of Divine Phoenix Peak, oblivious to the onlookers, embraced and wept together. The disciples present were also moved to tears by the sight.
Just as the scene was filled with touching emotion, a hearty, excited, and magnetic voice bood out inappropriately:
"AHAHAHA! My three dear junior sisters! Your Eldest Senior Brother is here!"
"Yingying! You’ll always be Eldest Senior Brother’s precious little darling! Love you~!"
Chu Youwei: !!??
Guo Yourong: !!??
Lu Yingying: (Eyes sparkling, utterly overjoyed!)
