A night passed quietly, with silence all around.
Zhu Zhuqing's original captivating purple battle robe was already torn.
Xiao Tian stated that he certainly didn't do it on purpose; it was simply that the quality of the clothes was truly lacking.
...
The next morning, a small, adorable cat lay in Xiao Tian's arms, rubbing against him with extreme greed.
Xiao Tian gently placed his hand on Zhu Zhuqing's head, stroking her, and said in an exceptionally gentle tone, "Zhuqing, after this cultivation period ends and we go out, I will definitely find a suitable time to explain things clearly to Xiao Wu and Rongrong. I will take full responsibility for you."
Zhu Zhuqing's mind was still replaying the intensely fierce battle from last night; she only felt a faint lingering pain in her body.
She wanted to forever remember the special feeling of that day, so she did not let Xiao Tian use the healing secret technique on her. At this moment, she truly understood that what Xiao Wu and Rongrong said was by no means a joke.
Hearing Xiao Tian's voice, Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly flushed crimson, and her voice was low, mixed with a hint of shyness: "Actually, the reason I was able to be so brave was thanks to Xiao Wu and Rongrong. The day before I entered the Spirit Time House, didn't your relationship with Rongrong become even closer? Xiao Wu and I just had a little fun between sisters.
But then, after Rongrong confessed everything, I was miserable; I became her interrogation target. It seemed like my feelings for you were seen by both of them, and they told me I needed to be more proactive."
Then, Zhu Zhuqing, with averted eyes and a blushing face, recounted in detail what had happened previously.
Zhu Zhuqing asked with a hint of curiosity, "Xiao Tian, if not for yesterday's experience, when would you have done something like this to me?"
Xiao Tian's expression stiffened slightly, appearing somewhat unnatural. He coughed twice lightly before saying, "That might have to wait until I've handled most things, after all, we're in a critical period right now."
"Is that really true~~?" Zhu Zhuqing's large eyes stared directly into Xiao Tian's.
After the nourishment Xiao Tian gave her yesterday, her eyes became even more captivating, as if there was a mysterious power that could easily ensnare one's soul.
Xiao Tian's gaze slowly moved downwards, finally resting on her moist lips. Those lips were like flower petals covered with morning dew, delicate and inviting, making one unable to resist wanting to get closer.
Xiao Tian lowered his head slightly and gently kissed those alluring lips, his movements soft and full of love.
When he met Zhu Zhuqing's gaze again, his eyes held only a constantly flickering expression, an expression clearly filled with shyness.
Xiao Tian then continued, "Alright, I, this person, sometimes have many reservations when doing things. When facing various situations, I always deliberate repeatedly, considering all possible consequences.
And sometimes, even though I have some not-so-pure thoughts in my heart, I have the intention but not enough courage to act on them. Take yesterday for example, you were already hinting at me so obviously, yet I still didn't dare to do anything out of line.
At that time, I kept thinking, what if I misunderstood your meaning? If that were truly the case, wouldn't it create a rift between you and me? The consequences would be unimaginable. I..."
Before Xiao Tian could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing wrapped her arms around Xiao Tian's neck and initiated a kiss. Her movements were full of passion and desire, constantly taking, as if to ignite all the love in Xiao Tian's heart.
After a long while, their lips parted.
"Xiao Tian, I'm telling you now, I like you, I really like you! I will definitely cultivate diligently and not hold you back." Zhu Zhuqing looked at Xiao Tian, his reflection in her eyes. Xiao Tian could see that her gaze was profound, filled with tenderness and determination.
At this moment, the system's voice came from Xiao Tian's mind.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully prying the corner of Food God Oscar's wall, you have received rewards: Bloodline spirit ring condensation method, cultivation techniques "Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method" and "Nine Nether Profound Underworld Skill".]
[Yin-Yang Dual Cultivation Method: When two people engage in yin-yang intercourse, it will increase both parties' cultivation, but this increase in speed is only on par with their own cultivation speed, belonging to a legitimate cultivation technique.]
Xiao Tian:
[Nine Nether Profound Underworld Skill: Focuses on cultivating Nether energy, capable of enhancing the cultivator's spirit power intensity and recovery speed. After cultivating the technique to a certain realm, the Nether energy she releases will be even more majestic and solidified, with greater deterrent power against enemies. It also contains martial skills such as Profound Nether Claw Strike, Nine Nether Ice Soul, and Profound Nether Domain.]
[Profound Nether Claw Strike: Dual claws swing, releasing streaks of black claw shadows. The claw shadows contain powerful Nether energy, capable of easily tearing through enemy defenses. As the cultivation of the technique deepens, the number and power of the claw shadows will continuously increase (including Paragon Golden Body).]
[Nine Nether Ice Soul: The cultivator can transform Nether energy into ice-cold attribute energy, releasing clusters of deep blue ice souls from their palms. The ice souls possess extremely cold temperatures, capable of instantly freezing enemies and restricting their movement.]
[Profound Nether Domain: A Nether Domain forms around the user. Everything within the Domain will be affected by Nether energy. Enemies within the Domain will experience slowed movement, obstructed spirit power, continuous bleeding, and hindered five senses, while the user will gain various attribute bonuses within the Domain.]
Xiao Tian:
No, Xiao Tian had a huge question mark in his mind at this moment. Why was there a hidden reward for him taking Zhu Zhuqing now, but not for Xiao Wu and Rongrong? Was it embezzled?
"System, why don't you explain yourself?"
[Ding, the system has just completed its upgrade, so the circuits are still a bit unclear. Supplementary rewards will arrive later.]
With that, the system directly disappeared.
Xiao Tian:
Actually, Xiao Tian had a pretty good impression of his system; it was actually helping him in various ways, he understood that.
Soon, the methods for these two cultivation techniques and the more precise Bloodline spirit ring condensation method were transmitted into his mind.
The Bloodline spirit ring condensation method was similar to what he had thought before. After all, it would certainly be different for ordinary people to activate their bloodline to condense a blood-qi spirit ring compared to that guy Lan Xuanyu.
Ordinary people are born from wombs, but that person was born from an egg.
It was unknown whether the reason was Lan Xuanyu's human bloodline being too weak, or if it was due to his parents being of the Silver Dragon King bloodline.
Subsequently, the two slowly got up and put on their clothes. Just as Zhu Zhuqing was about to begin her cultivation for the day, Xiao Tian gently reached out and lightly tapped her forehead.
