His lips finally brushed against Xiao Yi Xian's luscious lips, tenderly, filled with endless longing and deep affection.
Xiao Yi Xian's body trembled slightly, then relaxed, her hands unconsciously rising to wrap around Xiao Tian's neck, immersing herself in him. The whole world seemed to be left with only the sound of their kissing breaths.
After the kiss ended, Xiao Yi Xian collapsed onto Xiao Tian's body, her entire being radiating spring in her brows. Xiao Tian directly picked up Xiao Yi Xian and carried her to his palace.
"Put me down, you go take a bath first."
Xiao Yi Xian struggled to hold herself up and said to Xiao Tian. She had been in seclusion for so long, and although cultivators didn't get dirty—
"Okay." Xiao Tian did not put her down. Xiao Yi Xian also understood Xiao Tian's thoughts and did not struggle, but allowed him to carry her into the bath.
With Xiao Tian's help, the two directly faced each other honestly and slowly walked into the bath. Xiao Tian gently served Xiao Yi Xian. "Xian'er, why does your skin feel even smoother?"
"Hmm? Why does it feel heavier?"
Xiao Yi Xian heard Xiao Tian's words and rolled her eyes at him, her hand instantly grasping the future. The originally calm water surface gradually rippled, eventually turning into towering waves.
…
The sun was high in the sky. Xiao Tian looked at the messy palace; not even a single table or chair was intact. Xiao Tian touched his lower back. The reinforced product from the system was indeed good; the endurance was strong, his back didn't hurt, his legs weren't weak, and he could stay up all night until dawn.
Xiao Tian glanced at the sleeping Xiao Yi Xian, gently kissed her forehead, used Dou Qi to clean the scent from his body, changed into a new set of clothes, and then walked out of the room.
…
In the following days, Xiao Tian accompanied Xun'er in the mornings and the other four women in the evenings. Of course, accompanying Ya Fei and Yun Yun was platonic sleeping; dangerous things were not to be done.
The others also more or less noticed Xun'er's abnormality, but none of them asked, all giving their time to Xun'er. During this period, Xiao Tian either took Xun'er sightseeing or sat on the grass chatting and admiring the starry sky.
The starry sky in the cultivation world was not comparable to modern starry skies; they were basically densely packed with stars. Actually, the starry sky in childhood was also very beautiful. Later, the stars seemed to be getting fewer and fewer. When the author was a child, he liked to go to the rooftop to look at the sky and the lights.
…
On a high mountain, there was a large patch of lush grassland. Xiao Tian sat on the grass, and Xun'er sat beside Xiao Tian, her head gently resting on his shoulder. The two talked back and forth, gazing at the sea of forest before them.
Xiao Tian and Xun'er both enjoyed the beautiful scenery and a moment of inner peace. A gentle breeze blew past them, bringing a comfortable feeling.
In Xun'er's gasp of surprise, Xiao Tian directly pulled her over and hugged her tightly. "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
Xun'er heard Xiao Tian's voice, her body softened slightly, and finally, she also immersed herself in Xiao Tian's embrace.
"Are you leaving?" Xiao Tian's voice sounded in Xun'er's ear.
Xun'er's body trembled slightly. Her abnormality during this period had finally been discovered, and her heart tightened. Although her heart was full of reluctance, she could not stop everything from happening. Because she had already postponed her return many times, and now she could no longer postpone it. The clan had already issued a final ultimatum.
"Mm…" Xun'er responded softly, all the worries and struggles she had deeply buried in her heart surging up, her voice carrying a hint of a sob and much reluctance.
Xiao Tian felt the bitterness and reluctance in Xun'er's heart. He hugged Xun'er tightly, as if to merge her into his body, and said with an incredibly firm tone, "Xun'er, I understand you, and I know the mission you carry. Just cultivate obediently in the family and wait for me to come and pick you up."
Xun'er felt a strong sense of love and determination from Xiao Tian's firm words, which seemed to pour into her heart like an invisible force. Meeting Xiao Tian's firm and affectionate gaze, a warm current surged in her heart.
Xun'er leaned in Xiao Tian's embrace, feeling his warm body and strong heartbeat, and said softly, "Xiao Tian Ge, you must keep the ancient jade in your hand safe. Before you have the strength to protect yourself, never let others know, because the implications behind it are too great."
Xiao Tian heard Xun'er's words and nodded silently. Before he could speak, he looked up into the distance, where several auras were approaching in their direction. Xun'er also noticed Xiao Tian's abnormality, followed his gaze, and felt the approaching auras.
Her expression suddenly changed, and she hurriedly pulled Xiao Tian up, about to push him into the nearby forest. "Xiao Tian Ge, you hide in there first, and absolutely do not come out."
Xiao Tian shook his head, tightly held Xun'er's hand, and looked up at her. "I know you're worried about me. Don't be afraid. I'll see you off, and also let me see your Ancient Clan's Black Annihilation Army."
Xun'er met Xiao Tian's eyes, filled with strong confidence. Xun'er remembered her Xiao Tian Ge, who appeared very amiable on the surface but was actually very proud. He would never condescend to hide.
Xun'er did not speak, silently watching the dozen or so black dots gradually approaching them. However, her hand clutching Xiao Tian's hand already expressed her inner decision.
Xiao Tian looked at Xun'er's action, a slight smile curving on his lips. As for making him hide — impossible.
Their eyes fixed on the approaching black dots. As the sound of rushing wind grew stronger, even the surrounding trees creaked loudly. A moment later, the black dots gradually grew larger, finally appearing and stopping in front of them.
These black dots were not people, but a dozen or so pitch-black demonic beasts with silver single horns on their heads and four wings on their backs. As their wings flapped, there was a faint sound of wind and thunder.
On the broad back of each demonic beast stood a figure dressed in a purplish-black robe, expressionless, exuding a powerful aura.
Xiao Tian looked at the leading demonic beast, on which stood a young man of about twenty-four or twenty-five, with a rather handsome appearance. This must be Ling Quan, the Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, right? A Six-Star Dou Emperor? He's nothing special. I just wonder if he can take a punch.
The dozen or so giant demonic beasts hovered at the edge of the high mountain, their gazes sweeping over the woman in the light purple dress on the grass.
"Hehe, Miss Xun'er, I finally found you. I am Ling Quan, the newly appointed Deputy Commander of the Black Annihilation Army, ordered by the Clan Elder to bring Miss back."
The leading demonic beast slowly descended. The man on it first glanced at Xiao Tian and their clasped hands, then respectfully cupped his fist to Xun'er.
Xiao Tian heard his self-introduction. It really is him.
When Ling Quan looked at him, a hint of gloom and hostility flashed in his eyes. Although it was only for an instant, he still caught it.
