After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

But her slightly trembling eyelashes and her flushed ears had already betrayed her.

Where is the Gu family's young lady who used to ride a horse with such confidence and charisma?

This extreme contrast creates a fatal attraction!

"My wife—"

Lin Fengmian chuckled softly and no longer hesitated.

He lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, and gently channeled a wisp of his spiritual consciousness into her brow.

The moment their spiritual consciousness merged, Gu Qingge trembled all over.

At first, her spirit instinctively resisted—after all, she had never had such an intimate spiritual connection with anyone before.

But Lin Fengmian patiently guided her, his gentle spiritual senses flowing like a gentle stream, gradually soothing her unease and tension.

She quickly lowered her guard and began to awkwardly respond.

The candlelight flickered, and the red curtains hung low.

The two sat cross-legged facing each other, their palms clasped together.

It wasn't until he actually began circulating the cultivation technique that Lin Fengmian truly felt the unique way Gu Qingge's spiritual energy circulated within her body.

It is profound, enduring, and full of vitality, quite different from the more yin-oriented spiritual energy of the Xuanling Continent.

Her meridians were wide and unobstructed, and the flow of spiritual energy carried a vibrant and beautiful power.

This was completely different from the women he had previously been with.

The fairies of the Xuanling Continent have skin as smooth as jade, are delicate and boneless, and seem to be untouched by worldly affairs.

Gu Qingge's body has smooth and firm lines, and her skin contains a kind of beauty full of wildness and vitality!

One is as supple as a boneless tree, the other is full of wildness.

Two completely different aesthetics form a striking contrast at this moment!

Lin Fengmian was getting a little nervous.

This woman's body is too perfect!

Gu Qingge was now experiencing something she had never done before.

She practiced martial arts from a young age, honing her physical skills, and her perception was far more acute than that of ordinary people.

At this moment, as Lin Fengmian's spiritual energy flowed through her meridians, the dual cultivation cycle of their techniques was slowly established—

Each cycle of Lin Fengmian's spiritual energy seemed to activate long-dormant nodes within her body.

Warm currents surged through her meridians, clearing her mind, yet she instinctively wanted to make the body circulate more.

This...this is completely different from the records she had seen in books since she was a child!

Those ancient texts say that the union of men and women is merely for the purpose of procreation, a cold and mechanical procedure.

But now—

What exactly does this feeling feel like?

She couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, her fingertips clenching slightly.

Lin Fengmian sensed her nervousness and awkwardness, and his heart softened. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, his voice incredibly gentle:

"Don't be afraid... I'll be very gentle."

He guided the powerful spiritual energy within her body, following the path of the dual cultivation technique, and together they completed a full cycle of the Great Heavenly Circulation.

Then, the second one.

The third.

A full ten hours!

Spiritual energy flows freely, and meridians are unblocked!

The compatibility of their spiritual essences was truly exquisite!

Lin Fengmian felt extremely happy and exclaimed with delight.

This is not only a fusion of spiritual energy, but also a primal collision of two different life forms.

The pure yang energy and blood within his body resonated with Gu Qingge's vibrant energy and blood.

The meridians flow and intertwine, forming a perfect cycle!

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally finished their practice and began to recuperate.

The red candle had long since burned out, its wax dripping, and the sky outside the window was already faintly bright.

Gu Qingge slowly opened her eyes, her breathing not yet fully calmed, her forehead slightly sweaty, and her eyes filled with a sense of disorientation and confusion after the flow of spiritual energy.

She felt as if her meridians had been cleansed and refreshed, feeling extremely comfortable.

What shocked her even more was—

She actually broke through to the seventh rank of the Acquired Realm!

It's a leap forward, a whole new level!

Gu Qingge stared blankly as she felt the powerful force surging within her body, her heart filled with doubt and shock.

Men... are they not just tools for reproduction?

Why can it still help me break through?

Why can it still bring about such a wonderful spiritual resonance?

That feeling is truly unforgettable...

She looked up at Lin Fengmian's handsome profile, so close to hers, and recalled the mind-blowing experience she had just had. The question that had been nagging at her resurfaced.

This feeling... is it the legendary... love?

Lin Fengmian opened his eyes, feeling the increasingly pure spiritual energy within his body, and Gu Qingge's refreshed aura after her breakthrough.

A satisfied smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

This desolate place doesn't seem so bad after all.

When combined with Gu Qingge's cultivation technique, it is truly unique and irreplaceable!

He looked down at the usually spirited and capable young lady of the Gu family, who was now nestled docilely against his chest.

A unique sense of satisfaction welled up inside me.

After circulating their energy for several more cycles, completely stabilizing their auras—

Gu Qingge nestled in Lin Fengmian's arms and suddenly spoke softly:

"Lin Lang, actually... I'm also very curious about that Jue Ling Sect."

She paused, then looked up at him, her eyes full of seriousness: "In the records left by the Gu family ancestors, besides that token, there was another passage. I've never understood it, but perhaps... you can."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian's heart skipped a beat, and he tightened his grip on her arm: "What did you say?"

"Our ancestor said: 'Severing the spirit is not the end, severing the earth connects to heaven. A covenant of ten thousand years, jade shatters and rebirth occurs.'" Gu Qingge recited those words word by word, her tone tinged with confusion. "I've never understood what this means. But since you bear the legacy of a celestial master, perhaps... you can unravel this mystery."

Lin Fengmian's mind was jolted after hearing these words!

The phrase "Severed from spiritual energy is not truly devoid of it, but rather sealed by some kind of power" clearly means that this place of spiritual desolation is not truly cut off from spiritual energy, but rather sealed by some kind of force!

A Promise for Ten Thousand Years, Jade Shattered and Reborn—What exactly happened ten thousand years ago? What does "jade shattered" refer to?

He took a deep breath and grasped Gu Qingge's hand: "Do you still have that token?"

Gu Qingge nodded, got up and put on her clothes, then led Lin Fengmian away from others and quietly arrived at the depths of the heavily guarded ancestral hall of the Gu family.

This is the most core forbidden area of ​​the Gu family. Normally, apart from the patriarch and a few core elders, no one is allowed to enter.

At this moment, in the stillness of the night, only a few ever-burning lamps illuminate the ancestral tablets covering the walls.

Gu Qingge groped around in the hidden compartment where the ancestral tablets were enshrined. She gently pressed her finger on a certain brick, and with a soft "click," the compartment slowly opened.

From the deepest part of the hidden compartment, she solemnly took out an ancient token that was cool to the touch and neither gold nor jade.

The token was no bigger than the palm of my hand, and was bluish-gray in color. It was engraved with mysterious cloud patterns, and in the center were two ancient characters: "Absolute Spirit"!

"This is the disciple's token of the Jue Ling Sect, passed down through generations of my Gu family." Gu Qingge solemnly placed the token in Lin Fengmian's hand.

"Our ancestors left us this instruction, which should not be lightly passed on to anyone other than our closest relatives. Now that you are my husband, you have the right to know everything I do for the family."
