Fights Break Sphere: Purple Thunder Emperor

I will continue to like it even after Chapter 469!
The slight weightlessness brought about by the shifting light and shadows and the movement through space did not last long.

In just a few moments, the chaotic spatial turbulence around them suddenly disappeared, replaced by a familiar mountain range.

The golden light receded, and the little golden dragon's enormous body, which was thousands of feet long, rapidly shrank, transforming into a golden ray. It habitually coiled back onto Xiao Bai's shoulder, yawned, and seemed somewhat lazy, as if its stunning entrance just now had nothing to do with it.

The group found themselves in a fairyland shrouded in mist and with palaces appearing and disappearing in the mist.

At this moment, Zixiao Palace was far from peaceful.

The little golden dragon's undisguised and majestic dragon might was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing a huge tremor throughout the entire Zixiao Palace!
"The Palace Master is back!"

Exclamations and whispers rose and fell, and the entire Zixiao Palace was in an uproar because of the sudden arrival of the divine dragon.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, several powerful auras swept in from all directions, led by Yao Tianhuo, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and Fa Ma's men.

They were initially horrified by the dragon's might, which far exceeded their expectations, and were on high alert. However, when they saw Xiao Bai and Xun'er and the other girls landing steadily in the center of the square, their tense nerves instantly relaxed, and their faces showed surprise and delight.

Several people hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to Xiao Bai in unison:

"Welcome back to the palace, Your Highness!"

Xiao Bai's gaze swept over Yao Tianhuo, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and the others. Seeing that their cultivation had improved considerably, a smile appeared on his face.

"We're all family, no need for formalities."

With a gentle flick of his white sleeves, Xiao Bai lifted the group up with a soft force, his tone calm.

"Palace Master, you...you are..." Yao Tianhuo straightened up, sensing the aura emanating from Xiao Bai that was completely different from when he left, as unfathomable as an abyss. His facial muscles trembled slightly with excitement as he tentatively asked, somewhat uncertainly.

"...He's advanced to Dou Sheng?!"

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian, and the others beside him instantly held their breath, their eyes wide open, staring intently at Xiao Bai, waiting for the answer that would make their hearts stop.

Seeing their nervous yet expectant expressions, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, made no attempt to hide anything, and nodded gently:
"Well, we managed a breakthrough by luck."

Although they already had their suspicions, when they heard Xiao Bai confirm it with their own ears and saw him nod with their own eyes, Yao Tianhuo, Hai Bodong, Jia Xingtian and the others still felt a "buzz" in their minds, as if a thunderclap had exploded!
Fighting Saint!

Although they firmly believed that with Xiao Bai's monstrous talent, he would eventually reach this level, they never expected that day would come so soon!

It was so fast that it felt like a dream to them!
After a brief silence came an uncontrollable ecstasy and excitement!
The group looked at each other, and they all saw the same shock and relief in each other's eyes!
I'm so glad I made the right choice back then, and I'm sticking to Xiao Bai's side.

Otherwise, they would probably still be stuck in that remote corner of the Jia Ma Empire, struggling to break through to the Dou Zong realm, and perhaps eventually exhausting their lifespan and turning into dust as time goes by.

Where could one have achieved such cultivation, and where could one witness and participate in the rise of a super power with a Dou Sheng expert at its helm?
"Congratulations, Palace Master! Congratulations on achieving the Saint Rank, your power now shakes the continent!"

The group bowed deeply once more, their voices trembling with excitement, filled with heartfelt joy and reverence.

Xiao Bai led them into the main hall, exchanged a few brief pleasantries, and then inquired about the recent situation in the palace during his absence.

After learning that everything was alright and that their power was steadily growing, they dismissed the others.

Soon, the news that the Palace Master had been promoted to Dou Sheng spread like wildfire throughout every corner of Zixiao Palace.

After a brief silence, the entire Zixiao Palace erupted in chaos!

Countless disciples cheered and jumped for joy, their faces beaming with excitement and pride.

The Palace Master's breakthrough to the Dou Sheng realm signifies that Zixiao Palace has truly achieved its status as one of the top powers on the continent!

As members of the Zixiao Palace, their future prospects are even brighter!

A strong sense of belonging and cohesion arose spontaneously in the hearts of all the disciples.

Xiao Bai stood in the square, listening to the cheers coming from afar, shook his head slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He didn't stop them or make any statement; he let them digest and celebrate this exciting news on their own.

Without lingering in the square, he moved swiftly, transforming into a streak of light and heading towards a quiet and elegant courtyard in the back mountains.

That was where he and the women usually lived.

The courtyard was quiet and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. When Xiao Bai entered the room, he saw Xun'er, Xiao Yixian, and Yun Yun sitting around the table inside, chatting and laughing in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.

Sunlight filters through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, casting a soft glow on them and creating a stunningly beautiful scene.

Upon seeing Xiao Bai enter, the three women all raised their heads, smiled sweetly, and their eyes sparkled, each displaying their own unique charm.

Yun Yun, ever considerate, saw him enter and, with her slender, delicate hand, naturally picked up the teapot on the table, pouring him a cup of fragrant tea. She said softly:

"You're back. Have a cup of tea and rest for a bit."

Xiao Bai felt a warmth in his heart. He walked to the stone table and naturally sat down in the empty seat next to Xun'er.

He picked up the cup of warm tea, took a sip, and savored the fragrant aroma.

He slowly put down his cup, his gaze sweeping over Xun'er beside him, then looking at the smiling Little Fairy Doctor and the gentle and charming Yun Yun across from him. With three beautiful faces so close to his eyes, a great sense of satisfaction and peace welled up in his heart.

If you get a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
Now, only Cai Lin, who is currently in seclusion in the Nine Netherworld, remains. It's unknown what stage of evolution she has reached, or when she will emerge from seclusion.

Setting down his teacup, Xiao Bai remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, where is Zi Yan? Is she still in the Heavenly Tomb?"

When this matter was mentioned, the smiles on Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor's faces faded slightly.

Finally, Yun Yun spoke, recounting everything that had happened after they came out of the Heavenly Tomb.

"Hun Palace? Hun Xuzi?"

Xiao Bai frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Little Fairy Doctor picked up the conversation, her tone also carrying a hint of lingering fear:
"It's all thanks to Ziyan. If she hadn't intervened in time, we probably would have really suffered a loss. However, not long after, she received a message from the clan. It seemed that something important had happened on Donglong Island, and she had to leave first. She was quite regretful before she left, as she couldn't wait for you to come out."

"Something happened on Donglong Island?"

Xiao Bai frowned slightly. Could it be that something strange had happened on the Three Dragon Islands again?

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai tapped his fingers lightly on the table, feeling restless. He immediately had the idea of ​​setting off for Donglong Island to find out what was going on.

The Little Fairy Doctor was perceptive and immediately guessed Xiao Bai's worries upon seeing the change in his expression.

She smiled slightly, took something out of her storage ring, and handed it to Xiao Bai.

It was a scale about the size of a palm, with a deep purple-gold color all over. Mysterious golden patterns naturally formed on the scale, emanating a pure and noble dragon aura. It was an aura that Xiao Bai was very familiar with, the unique aura that belonged to Zi Yan.

"This was left behind by Ziyan before she left."

Little Fairy Doctor explained, "She said this is a primordial dragon scale that fell off when her true form underwent a metamorphosis, and it's connected to her mind. If East Dragon Island truly faces a major crisis that she can't resolve and needs help, she will use this dragon scale to transmit information. But now..."

Little Fairy Doctor handed the dragon scales to Xiao Bai again, indicating that he should sense them:
"The dragon scales are calm and still, with no unusual energy fluctuations or information transmitted. This means that, at least for now, Zi Yan's side should not have reached the point where she needs to ask for help from outside. Perhaps it is just some routine matter within the clan that requires her to make a decision."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai quickly took the purple-gold dragon scale. It was slightly warm to the touch, as if it still retained Zi Yan's aura.

He focused his attention and carefully sensed it for a moment. Sure enough, just as Little Fairy Doctor had said, the energy inside the dragon scale was stable, and there was no sign of distress or warning.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed.

"It seems I was overthinking it. This girl's strength is now extraordinary, and it won't be so easy for the three Dragon Islands to touch her."

After carefully storing the dragon scales, Xiao Bai felt much more at ease.

As long as the dragon scales don't move, it means Zi Yan is temporarily out of danger.

With their worries about Ziyan resolved, the atmosphere in the courtyard became relaxed again.

Xiao Bai's gaze swept over the three women again. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Little Fairy Doctor and Yun Yun exchange a subtle glance, a knowing smile seemingly flickering in their eyes. Yun Yun gracefully set down her teacup, straightened her skirt, stood up, and softly said to Xiao Bai:
“Aniu, you have just returned from a great battle and must need time to recuperate and stabilize your condition. I have been away from the Flower Sect for some time now. Although the Grand Elder is taking care of me, I have been away for too long and there are some things I need to go back and handle personally.”

Her words were reasonable, her eyes were gentle, and there was nothing unusual about them.

As soon as Yun Yun finished speaking, Little Fairy Doctor also stood up. A slight smile curved her lips, and she glanced at Xun'er, seemingly intentionally, and said with a light laugh:
"I've been vaguely sensing some unusual activity in my battle qi lately, as if I've touched upon an opportunity for a breakthrough. I plan to go into seclusion in the Medicine Valley behind the mountain for a while, so I won't stay here... to avoid getting in the way of certain people."

She said it subtly, but the teasing tone was all too obvious.

Xun'er was incredibly intelligent; upon hearing this, she was slightly taken aback at first, but then immediately understood.

Yun Yun's claim of returning to the Flower Sect is a pretense, and Xian'er's claim of going into seclusion to break through is probably just an excuse!

The two women clearly saw that she had broken through to the Dou Sheng realm and hadn't seen this scoundrel for a long time, so they deliberately found an excuse to leave, leaving her and Xiao Bai some space to be alone!

Upon realizing this, an indescribable sense of shyness instantly welled up in Xun'er's heart, burning her ears with a captivating blush.

She subconsciously raised her beautiful eyes and quickly glanced at the person next to her who was dressed formally and pretending to sample tea, as if he hadn't heard anything. She felt a mix of sweetness and shyness, as well as a bit of embarrassment that her sister had seen through her thoughts.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes, giving them a slightly reproachful glare.

Deep down, she was filled with gratitude for Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor's considerate "accomplishment".

It wasn't that they didn't miss Xiao Bai, nor that they didn't want to spend more time with him, but at this moment, they chose to leave her alone.

This friendship warmed her heart.

As dusk approached outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun painted the horizon a warm orange-red, casting a hazy and ambiguous veil of light over the entire courtyard.

Yun Yun and Little Fairy Doctor exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.

"Alright, it's getting late, I'll be going now."

Yun Yun spoke gently, her voice carrying blessings.

"Someone should really seize this opportunity!"

Little Fairy Doctor blinked and left with a meaningful smile.

The two women didn't linger any longer. They turned and walked out of the courtyard, their clothes fluttering, and their figures quickly disappeared outside the door. They even thoughtfully closed the door gently behind them.

"Click."

The soft sound of the door closing echoed clearly in the quiet courtyard.

In an instant, only Xiao Bai and Xun'er remained in the large courtyard.

The air seemed to thicken at that moment, filled with a silent, enchanting atmosphere.

The last rays of the setting sun shone through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, falling perfectly on Xun'er's exquisite profile, making her fair skin appear almost transparent. The lingering blush added to her charm.

Xiao Bai finally put down the teacup he had been "studying" for half a day, raised his head, and his gaze fell on the beautiful woman beside him.

His gaze, devoid of its previous playfulness and pretense, became deep and gentle, like the brightest star in the night sky, or a bottomless pool, clearly reflecting Xun'er's shy and timid appearance.

He didn't speak, but just gazed at her quietly, as if he wanted to make up for all the time he hadn't seen her.

Xun'er felt flustered by his undisguised, aggressive yet tender gaze, and subconsciously wanted to lower her head to avoid his eyes.

But that gaze seemed to have a magical power, firmly attracting her and making it impossible for her to look away.

She could clearly hear her heart pounding loudly in the quiet courtyard.

Her delicate hands unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes, her fingertips turning slightly white.

"What...what are you looking at..."

Her voice was barely audible, carrying a hint of coquettishness that she herself was unaware of, as she tried to break the heart-pounding silence.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai's lips slowly curved into a smile. Unlike his usual gentle or carefree smile, it carried a hint of domineering, as well as a lot of doting affection.

He slowly stood up, his tall figure stretching long in the setting sun, completely enveloping Xun'er.

He approached Xun'er, leaned down slightly, and placed his hands on the armrests of the stone bench where she was sitting, encircling her in the small space between himself and the stone table.

A warm breath, mixed with a faint aura of thunder and a man's masculine energy, rushed towards her, instantly enveloping Xun'er.

"I'm watching..."

Xiao Bai's voice was deep and magnetic, possessing a captivating power, as it gently whispered in Xun'er's ear.

"My Xun'er, how come you're getting more and more beautiful?"

Such direct and passionate words made Xun'er's delicate body tremble violently, and the blush on her pretty face instantly spread to her neck, like a ripe cherry, tempting to be picked.

She was so shy that she almost buried her head in her chest, and even her glistening earlobes turned a lovely pink.

"So...do you like it..."

Her voice was as thin as a whisper, trembling, completely losing the usual aloofness and composure of a young lady from an ancient clan.

Xiao Bai chuckled softly, then extended his finger and gently lifted Xun'er's chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

"like."

His tone was gentle yet profound, each word like a promise:
"I liked it before, I like it now, and I will always like it in the future!"

His warm fingertips touched her delicate skin, causing her to tremble slightly again.

His gaze was intense, as if it contained countless stars and endless affection, as he looked deeply into Xun'er's beautiful eyes, which were now shimmering with tears and captivatingly beautiful.

“Brother Xiao Bai”

Xun'er gazed at him intently, her voice filled with lingering tenderness, her beautiful eyes misty with tears.

Xiao Bai lowered his head and gently placed his hand on her fair forehead, the movement as tender as if he were handling a rare treasure.

His kiss slowly moved down, finally landing precisely on those two soft and fragrant lips.

"Well……"

Xun'er let out a soft whimper, her body stiffening slightly before completely softening in Xiao Bai's domineering yet gentle embrace.

She responded awkwardly, yet with utter obedience, her arms involuntarily encircling his neck.

As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, the last rays of light disappeared, and night quietly fell.

The room was dark, with only the hazy starlight and moonlight streaming in from the window, and the increasingly rich and enchanting atmosphere in the air.

Xiao Bai lifted the delicate, boneless woman in his arms and strode towards the bedroom.

The subtle rustling of clothes, mixed with a suppressed yet moving murmur, composed the most touching melody in this tranquil night.

After a long separation, a reunion filled with anxieties, and the love that had long been ingrained in their hearts, they finally found the most thorough and passionate expression at this moment, slowly merging together.

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water, and the stars twinkled.

The gentle starlight enveloped the tranquil courtyard, as if silently blessing the loving couple.
