"This place is absolutely unbearable. Let's go. If we stay any longer, we'll definitely be sugared to death!" Xiao Meng grabbed Xiao Ling and dragged her out of the room.
"Exactly, exactly! He doesn't even consider whether us kids can handle this stinky smell of love." Xiao Ling, while being dragged, turned back and made a face. "You two, work harder and try to give us another little brother or sister!"
"Hehe haha!!" Xiao Meng let out a clear laugh as she dragged Xiao Ling away, their mischievous laughter echoing in the corridor.
Inside the room, Xuan Yi's ears burned red from the two little girls' antics. She sat up and glared at Xiao Jietian in annoyance. "It's all your fault! Now they'll be teasing us for days!"
Xiao Jietian laughed heartily and pulled her into a tighter embrace. "What's there to be afraid of? A spanking will stop them from laughing."
Before Xuan Yi could even speak, Xiao Jietian directly kissed her red lips.
After a slight struggle, Xuan Yi began to reciprocate.
After a long while, when Xuan Yi was almost out of breath, Xiao Jietian finally released her.
Looking at Xuan Yi—flushed, panting, and with disheveled clothes—Xiao Jietian's appetite was instantly whetted.
Seeing his aggressive gaze, Xuan Yi immediately stood up and tidied her clothes. "Not now. It's still daytime, and we haven't even showered yet. We'll talk about it later."
"That's easy. We'll go shower now, and maybe by the time we're done, it'll be dark."
Xiao Jietian directly picked her up and headed toward the bath.
"That's fine, but you have to behave when we're showering."
"No problem."
"…"
"Squat down. I'll tie your hair for you. It's easy to block your face."
"…"
"You've been soaking for so long. Drink this cup of milk to rehydrate. It won't be good if you get dehydrated later."
"Cough, cough… You scoundrel, is that how you feed people?! Was that on purpose or an accident?"
"My hand twitched subconsciously."
"…"
"Turn your back to me. I'll scrub your back. My technique is very good. I guarantee it will make you feel happy and relaxed."
"You need to be gentle, or you'll rub all my skin off."
"Guaranteed. Don't worry, leave it all to me. You've tried my technique before."
… … … … … …
The night was as dark as ink, and the stars sparkled like diamonds.
On the balcony of Xuan Yi's room, Xiao Jietian, clad in a dark blue outer robe, stood with his sleeves gently fluttering in the cool night breeze.
He gazed up at the star-filled sky, as if looking through layers of space into a mysterious region somewhere.
What came into view was a massive dragon shrouded in black-purple flames. The flames distorted the surrounding space, looking incredibly magnificent.
"Three Thousand Burning Flame? Then this must be the Star Region."
Xiao Jietian surveyed the giant dragon. On its purplish-black scales were black, thread-like runes—a clear sealing method left by the Three Giants.
This Three Thousand Burning Flame in the Pill Domain had been branded by an elder of the Void Ancient Dragon long ago. Later, perhaps because it was not very useful, it was forgotten.
Eventually, the exotic flame grew stronger and developed sentience. After the Pill Tower tried to subdue it, the Three Giants could only helplessly seal it.
It could be said that it received similar treatment to the Fallen Heart Flame of Jia Nan Academy, but because the Pill Tower had more powerful individuals, the Three Thousand Burning Flame was firmly suppressed.
Xiao Jietian took one look at the Three Thousand Burning Flame and lost all interest. Not only was this flame far inferior to his other Heavenly Flames, but its accompanying Undying Body was also far weaker than his Life God Veins and Life Spirit Flame.
After a glance, Xiao Jietian retracted his perception. Thanks to the profoundness of his cultivation technique and the effect of the Concealment Card, none of this was discovered by Xuan Kongzi, who was in charge of supervision.
It was also fortunate that the old man did not obstruct him and Xuan Yi, otherwise he would have given this Three Thousand Burning Flame a few big slaps to wake it up and increase Xuan Kongzi's workload.
Xuan Kongzi & Three Thousand Burning Flame: ???
Xiao Jietian shook off the thoughts in his mind and walked to a rustic wicker lounge chair nearby, lying down comfortably. "It's so comfortable to lie down!"
"Oh? Not long ago, you weren't saying that."
A graceful figure dressed in a dark sleeping gown slowly approached. She bent slightly to look at him, her voice carrying a hint of teasing.
Xiao Jietian glanced at Xuan Yi beside him. In her nightgown, she looked loose and natural, with rich, undulating curves. Her face was still flushed, utterly charming.
"Isn't it because I gave you a chance and you weren't up to it?" Xiao Jietian clasped his hands behind his head, looking at the starry sky.
Xuan Yi opened her mouth but couldn't think of how to retort. It was indeed her problem. Mainly, when sitting and cultivating, the guided Dou Qi went too deep, which could easily cause her Dou Qi to become chaotic.
Xiao Jietian reached out and pulled the distracted Xuan Yi into his arms. His long fingers gently stroked her waterfall-like black hair. "Have all the items been refined successfully?"
Xuan Yi nestled obediently in his arms, her soft body pressing gently against his chest like a kitten that had found a warm nest. Her hand rested on his chest, continuously drawing circles.
Feeling those powerful pectoral muscles and thinking of Xiao Jietian's body, Xuan Yi liked it even more. A broad back, a strong waist, eight-pack abs, a wide frame, long legs, and extraordinary talent—every aspect hit her vital spots, making her uncontrollably captivated.
"Mhm, everything has been refined. With these Heavenly Soul Profound Stones, I feel like I'll soon break through to the Heavenly Realm Soul." Xuan Yi looked up at Xiao Jietian's face, her eyes smiling. "The Physique Card was also successfully absorbed, but I want you to name it."
Xuan Yi also released the concealment of her physique's origin, allowing Xiao Jietian to sense it. The origin of a physique could not be perceived by anyone unless the owner released it.
Xiao Jietian released his soul and probed into her physique's origin. After carefully sensing it, he said, "Let's call it the Light Flame Spirit Body."
"Light Flame Spirit Body… It really fits the situation of my physique. Then let's go with that." Xuan Yi thought it was excellent. In fact, even if Xiao Jietian was terrible at naming, she would have accepted it without any objections, because everything he gave her was good.
"Xiao Jietian, there's a good thing in the Pill Tower. Do you want it?" Xuan Yi leaned close to his face, their noses almost touching.
"I've already gotten the best thing in the Pill Tower." Xiao Jietian lightly pecked her red lips, his eyes filled with deep affection.
"Hm? How come I don't know about it?" Xuan Yi sat on his lap, looking at him in confusion.
