[Boom! Boom! Boom!]

A series of dull thuds echoed, and the once elegant courtyard was now unrecognizable.

The two figures continued their rapid movement through the courtyard. Wherever that slender figure passed, exquisite rockeries and rare spiritual trees were crushed by its powerful force.

[Ikegawa already had several noticeable bruises on his body, especially the fist mark at the corner of his mouth, which was particularly prominent.]

【"snort!"】

[Being suppressed and beaten like this, he became truly enraged.]

【"out!"】

In the next instant, a small cyan tablet flew out from his palm, hovering above his head, its cyan light cascading down like a waterfall, completely enveloping his body.

【"Bang!"】

You punched the light barrier, creating ripples, but the barrier remained unmoved, as solid as a rock.

"A top-tier defensive magical artifact?"

A flicker of surprise crossed your eyes.

[The grades of spiritual artifacts are the same as those of magical artifacts, both being classified as low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade.]

[Given Chi Chuan's status, it's not surprising that he could produce a top-tier spiritual artifact.]

However, magical artifacts differ from magical artifacts. Magical artifacts are primarily driven by their own magical power, making it relatively easy to manipulate artifacts of higher levels.

To skillfully wield top-tier spiritual artifacts, one needs at least the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, as their divine sense also needs to reach a certain level of strength.

[It seems his spiritual sense far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same level, but in that case...]

"Isn't that considered cheating?"

You stood about three zhang away from Chi Chuan, arms crossed, eyebrows slightly raised, glancing at him with disdain.

[Ikegawa blushed under your gaze and retorted stiffly:]

"How can something between cultivators be considered cheating? Besides, I didn't use any spiritual power exceeding the early Foundation Establishment stage."

The more I talked, the more convinced I became of my point, and after finishing, I looked at you with a defiant expression.

"Excellent!"

Instead of getting angry, you laughed, your figure transforming into a streak of crimson light once more, your fists raining down upon the light barrier.

[You indeed couldn't break through the attack methods of a top-tier defensive spiritual artifact, but so what? With your early Foundation Establishment stage spiritual energy reserves, how long can you sustain this light barrier?]

"A cowardly turtle!"

"Coward! You dare not fight me, a mere woman, head-on!"

"Tsk tsk~ Such a big guy, what a waste."

[You're launching physical attacks while simultaneously unleashing mental assaults.]

[Ikegawa's face flushed crimson, and veins bulged on his forehead.]

At the same time, he felt extremely frustrated. In a battle against someone of the same realm, he feared no one, but the woman before him was incredibly difficult to deal with.

[They can shatter magical artifacts with a flick of their wrists, and their movements are unpredictable and erratic, leaving no time for them to even catch their breath, let alone unleash powerful spells.]

Now trapped within the light barrier, and with her relentless attacks, he was unable to concentrate and had no time to gather his strength for casting spells.

Thinking of this, Chi Chuan gently patted the storage bag again, and a purple bell slowly flew out.

【Ding~】

The crisp sound of bells filled the courtyard, and you felt a slight tremor in your soul, causing the scene before you to blur considerably. But the next moment, the long-dormant Dao seed within your inner world trembled gently, and your soul instantly returned to its original clarity.

"You dare to scheme against me?"

You sneered, then with a flick of your wrist, firmly grasped the purple bell that had been flying out of the air.

No matter how much it buzzes and vibrates, it can't escape your grasp.

"My Soul-Shaking Bell!"

[Ikegawa's expression changed drastically.]

"How come you're completely unharmed?"

Without a word, you grabbed the Soul-Shaking Bell and slammed it against the light barrier again.

【Buzz~】

This time, the tremors of the light curtain were noticeably stronger.

[Chi Chuan gritted his teeth and drew a gleaming crimson dagger, but after a moment's hesitation, he slowly put it back into his storage bag.]

"Wait!"

Seeing you raise the bell to strike again, he quickly raised his hand and shouted.

[You should have known when to quit while you were ahead. When that dagger appeared, you felt every pore on your body scream. With your current strength, you definitely couldn't have stopped that thing!]

Besides, this person is someone I'm supposed to become good friends with; I can't really hurt them.

【"how?"】

But you can't lose face, especially since the other side is clearly losing both. You need to maintain a proper stance.

"I... you win."

[Ikegawa's face contorted for a moment, but he still managed to pronounce the words clearly.]

"You're not bad at losing," you nodded inwardly, but a hint of disdain flickered across your face.

"Hmph! You can't even beat me, yet you're always challenging this person and that person. Aren't you ashamed?"

【"you!"】

"Hmm? What should you call me?"

Your eyes widened, and your aura was so oppressive that the burly figure opposite you, standing at 1.9 meters tall, involuntarily took two steps back.

【"Gulp~"】

Chi Chuan swallowed hard. He seemed to understand now why his father was so afraid of his mother.

【"Um?"】

"Husband...wife..."

【"Um."】

You finally nodded in satisfaction.

His address of you as "Madam" effectively confirms your status. Now you'll at least have a legitimate reason to take advantage of the Jade Maiden Sect.

"What are you doing standing so far away? Come here!"

【...】

[After a while, upon receiving the news, Chi's mother rushed over. Just as she reached the courtyard gate, she saw a scene that slightly stunned her.]

[Her silly son, who always boasted about being "invincible in the same realm," was now obediently squatting to the side, carefully peeling fruit for his wife, smiling obsequiously as he did so—he was unusually attentive.]

"Is this... a breakthrough?"

But when Mother Chi's gaze swept over your face, she immediately understood.

She said her son was fine; he just hadn't met a woman who moved him.

Thinking of this, Madam Chi smiled knowingly, and without disturbing her, turned and left, though her steps were lighter than when she had arrived.

At the same time, you breathed a sigh of relief.

[I'm afraid Madam Chi won't tolerate you "disciplining" her son like this; that would be troublesome.]

Dealing with these second-generation immortals obsessed with cultivation is easy, but if you were to directly confront the leader of a large sect, your petty tricks would be utterly insignificant.

Looking at Chi Chuan, who was still obediently peeling away the skin, trying to extract your body-refining techniques, you glanced at the sky and suddenly whispered in his ear:

"My dear husband, it's getting dark~"

【"oh."】

[Ikegawa scratched his slightly itchy ear and said seriously:]

"May I learn that body-refining technique, Madam?"

【"......"

A sense of frustration I'd never felt before crept into my heart. Was he genuinely foolish, or was he doing it on purpose?

【OK!】

Your eyes flickered slightly, and you lazily spoke:

"I'm tired, husband, carry me to the bedroom to rest. I'll teach you properly later!"

[Tsuyoshi Ikegawa was about to ask again: Can't we teach here?]

But seeing the sudden fierce look in your eyes, I quickly scooped you up in my arms and ran towards the bedroom.

"Hehe, my son-in-law has grown up."

Three young maids, who were sweeping the courtyard, huddled together, their faces beaming with maternal smiles.

[A moment later.]

"Madam, is it truly necessary to undress in order to cultivate?"

"Madam, where is the incantation for the cultivation technique?"

"Madam, this..."

"Hmph~! Shut up!"
