The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei shouted several times before Ye Ling slowly floated down from her mountain peak.

"What is it now? I was cultivating, and your shout almost made me go into a state of demonic possession."

"Wife, I have something important, a very important matter." Shen Yifei quickly explained that Feng Qingyin's meridians had been sealed by the Meridian-Locking Curse. "The 'Smiling Tiger Phoenix Roars Across the World' curse can only be forcibly broken by those at the peak of the Tribulation Transcending realm. Can you do it now?"

Ye Ling walked up to Feng Qingyin, placed her hand on her wrist, closed her eyes to feel it for a moment, then opened her eyes and shook her head.

"No, I've been sealed for ten thousand years, and my cultivation has only recovered to about forty percent, at most the strength of the late Tribulation Transcending stage. This Meridian Locking Curse is a secret technique of the Phoenix Clan, and it is extremely domineering in itself. If I forcefully break through it, I only have a thirty percent chance of breaking through, but her meridians will also be damaged. At best, her cultivation will regress, and at worst, she will never be able to advance any further in her life."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei immediately deflated. What could he do? He couldn't just watch the chance to revive the old patriarch slip away, could he?

Seeing that Ye Ling was also helpless, Xing He tugged at Shen Yifei's sleeve, "Brother, I have an idea that you can try."

Shen Yifei hurriedly asked, "Xinghe, do you have any ideas?"

"Brother, my method is to utilize the 'love seed' within you!"

"Huh? What did you say, using the 'love seed'?"

"Yes, I've been researching this these past few days. The Bond Seed doesn't just establish bloodline resonance. It's also a powerful force, though I can't say exactly how powerful."

"Xinghe, how can we activate the power of the Love Seed? Have you come up with a plan?"

Xinghe blushed, lowered her head, looked left and right, stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

Liu Mengli immediately understood. "Master, I understand!"

"Liu... Mengli, shut up! You'll never say anything nice!" Shen Yifei felt that Liu Mengli was about to say something about dual cultivation again!

At this crucial moment, we absolutely cannot let her talk nonsense!

Shen Yifei even thought that if someone talked too much or said anything inappropriate, they should be locked in the dark room for three days or two days, and they would behave.

Shen Yifei stared at Xinghe, "Xinghe, what time is it? Tell me quickly, I'll do anything for you, even go through fire and water."

"I don't need to go through fire and water..." Xinghe's voice trailed off, "It's just... it's just that you and Princess Sister... you know... you know..."

Shen Yifei thought he had misheard. "That? Which one?"

Liu Mengli burst out laughing. "Master, are you really stupid or just pretending? Xinghe means you should sleep with the princess! A 'love seed,' how can it be called a 'love seed' if you don't do *that*?"

After saying that, he laughed loudly, "Master, you're going to do your old job. Isn't that what you're good at... Come on, I'm going to chop some wood and build a little dark room. I'll lock myself in there first."

After saying that, she gave a wink to Hongxiu, Mo Ran, and Feng Wu, who were standing there dumbfounded.

Hongxiu and Mo Ran immediately understood and followed her to leave.

Feng Wu refused. She had initially been confused by what she was hearing, but later she understood.

She was even more unwilling to leave. She was the princess's personal maid, and she would serve the princess on her wedding night after the princess got married.

In the end, Mo Ran and Hong Xiu had to carry her away.

"Xinghe, are you... are you sure there's no other way?" Shen Yifei's voice trembled slightly.

Xinghe shook her head and said very seriously, "Brother, this is the only way I can think of right now. The power of the Love Seed is the most direct manifestation of the Phoenix Clan's royal bloodline power. After you... after that, the Love Seed will be fully activated. At that time, the power of the Love Seed will break the meridian-locking curse in Princess Sister's body, and her spiritual power will be restored. Then, she can use the power of her bloodline to activate the old patriarch's Nirvana Instinct."

After listening, Shen Yifei first looked at Ye Ling.

Ye Ling's lips twitched into a smile. "I'm going back to cultivate. Don't make a scene about things you can handle yourself!"

After saying that, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the distance.

Shen Yifei turned his head and looked at Feng Qingyin again.

Feng Qingyin wore a veil, so her expression couldn't be seen, but her phoenix eyes were fixed on him. There was no emotional fluctuation in her eyes; she showed neither shyness nor resistance, just calmly looking at him.

"Your Highness, look at this..." Shen Yifei was somewhat at a loss. "This is indeed a bit too sudden. If you feel it's inappropriate, we can think of another way..."

"Brother, what's with all this talk about 'appropriate'? If we delay any longer, Old Phoenix will really be beyond saving!"

Shen Yifei hesitated, but Feng Qingyin was quite straightforward, "Sect Leader Shen, in this urgent situation, we must act expediently. I don't care about these formalities. However, you must promise me that after this matter, you must take responsibility for me and for the Phoenix Clan!"

Hearing Feng Qingyin's straightforward words, Shen Yifei stopped pretending to be embarrassed. With such a beautiful woman throwing herself at him, why pretend to be a gentleman?

However, to succeed in this way is really taking advantage of someone's vulnerability.

However, being able to save the old clan chief is a meritorious deed for me, and marrying a beautiful phoenix princess is my reward.

"Since the princess has put it that way, then we shall respectfully comply! Please, princess, step out of the cauldron..."

After saying that, he withdrew his consciousness from the Cauldron of Myriad Things.

After emerging, he summoned Feng Qingyin from the cauldron with a thought.

The two locked eyes, and Shen Yifei couldn't hold back any longer; the seed of love hidden within him was already stirring.

"Um... Your Highness, shall we begin?" Shen Yifei asked tentatively.

"I won't!"

Feng Qingyin's answer was very direct.

"Then please, Your Highness, remove your veil so that I may behold your beauty."

"Are you sure you want to see what I look like?" Feng Qingyin asked.

Shen Yifei nodded solemnly.

"Very well, I hope you won't find it offensive, young master..."

"No, no, the princess is absolutely stunning. I'm fine as long as you don't find me unattractive..."

Before Shen Yifei could finish speaking, Feng Qingyin reached out and removed her veil.

The moment Feng Qingyin removed her veil, Shen Yifei was completely stunned!

Feng Qingyin was indeed a stunningly beautiful woman, with phoenix eyes, willow-leaf eyebrows, a straight nose, and warm lips; her features were exquisitely perfect.

However, the half of her face covered by the veil was covered by a bright red birthmark.

Shen Yifei stared at her, feeling a huge sense of disappointment.

I had assumed that the face beneath the veil was breathtakingly beautiful, but I never expected it to be like this.

When Feng Qingyin saw his appearance, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she said in a low voice, "If Sect Master Shen dislikes Qingyin's appearance, Qingyin will not force herself."

After Feng Qingyin finished speaking, she was about to put her veil back on.

Shen Yifei quickly grabbed her hand. "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand. I'm not being disgusted."

When Shen Yifei said he didn't mind, he wasn't lying. He didn't know if it was because of the "love seed," but the more he looked at her, the more he felt that the birthmark was not ugly at all, but instead added a unique charm to her.

He cupped Feng Qingyin's face in his hands, "Your Highness, you are like a phoenix rising from the ashes..."

"Sect Leader Shen, you're right. What I need right now is your spark!"
