Time passed slowly...

Fifteen days later.

Deep within the Nine Flames Cave Heaven.

"Chu Yang! You bastard!!"

Inside the cultivation room, Lin Xi dressed herself again. Holding the white crane, she slashed at Chu Yang repeatedly, her face a mixture of shame and resentment.

"No, Lin Xi, I didn't mean to!"

"I had no idea that the clash of two kinds of heavenly fire would completely destroy my clothes!"

"I only saw a tiny bit; I didn't dare look at the rest!"

"You're talking nonsense! And what's that blood on the ground? Isn't that your nosebleed?!"

"Cough, I just refined the Heavenly Flame and I'm a little feverish. My nose is burning, and to be honest, I really don't dare to look any longer..."

"you!!"

She suddenly stopped and wiped her wet eyes.

Gone, all gone.

After the last line of defense was breached, Lin Xi was undoubtedly devastated.

Now she has lost even the last shred of dignity.

First came the kiss, then the physical contact, and finally, he showed her naked again.

They've lost even the last shred of dignity.

Now, apart from that one thing, I've done almost everything I shouldn't have done.

Lin Xi's heart began to scream helplessly.

Despite her efforts to push him away and to ignore him as much as possible.

But none of it worked.

This guy is like my nemesis; I can't do anything about him, I'm completely helpless.

It's as if their destinies are intertwined and they can't be separated no matter how hard they try.

Seeing Lin Xi suddenly drop her sword and squat down, hugging her knees and sobbing softly, Chu Yang felt a sense of loss.

He walked up to Lin Xi and half-squatted down, softly comforting her:

"Lin Xi, I really didn't mean to do this."

"If you're really that upset, then I'll just stand here and slash you."

"Calm down."

Lin Xi ignored him and continued to hug her knees and keep her head down.

"..."

"Sigh, I am your fiancé, and I am now the number one young person in the Xuanling Sect. I am also good-looking. You have seen me naked."

"If you feel you're really getting the short end of the stick, how about I take off all my clothes and show you again?"

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, Lin Xi trembled involuntarily, and a blush involuntarily appeared on her face.

She gave a embarrassed shout.

"Pah! Shameless! Who wants to see you!"

"Since you're not going to look, then hit me a few times. That'll make you feel better." Seeing that Lin Xi was paying attention to him, Chu Yang immediately reached out his hand to her.

"Get away from me! I don't want to see you again!"

"......"

Chu Yang sighed deeply, "What do I have to do for you to forgive me?"

"I don't care if the disciples of the Xuanling Sect reject me, but if even you keep rejecting me, what's the point of me coming to the Xuanling Sect?"

"I've gotten a good deal, and since that's the case, I'd really like to make amends."

"I don't want to force you now, and I don't know what to do anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Xi felt a sense of relief.

She looked up. "You feel wronged?"

Chu Yang shook his head wildly, "I don't feel wronged. I feel good about myself for always taking advantage of others."

"Disgusting!"

Lin Xi stood up with a blank expression.

Chu Yang's eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately summoned a black bead from his spatial ring and handed it to Lin Xi.

"This is the Qiankun Pearl, which is among the top-tier imperial artifacts."

"It has a hundred wonderful uses; it can be used for offense or defense, to assist in cultivation, or to calm the mind and focus the spirit."

"I promised you an imperial artifact last time, and I will keep my word. Now this Qiankun Pearl is yours."

"The Qiankun Pearl?"

Lin Xi tossed the spirit pearl in her hand, somewhat curious.

"How is it?"

Chu Yang smiled and put his arm around Lin Xi's waist, his hands itching to rub it.

"It felt good. I'll forgive you since you've kept your word."

Lin Xi glared at him angrily, "Don't push your luck. I don't need this Qiankun Pearl either."

"Okay, okay."

Chu Yang immediately withdrew his hand.

Lin Xi gave a soft snort. She held the Qiankun Pearl in front of her eyes, compared it to her own, wiped it, and then put it back into her storage ring.

"We've been in seclusion for almost half a month and our strength has increased significantly. It's time for us to go out now, otherwise your master and senior sisters will definitely worry," Chu Yang said.

During this period of seclusion, they both successfully refined the essence of the Heavenly Fire and gained control of their respective Heavenly Fires.

At the same time, his cultivation level also increased significantly.

Originally, Lin Xi's cultivation level was only at the early stage of the King Realm, but after refining the Three Thousand Star Flames, he directly broke through to the perfect King Realm.

Chu Yang's cultivation, which had reached the peak of the King Realm, had also reached the late stage of the Emperor Realm.

Compared to before, the two have made remarkable progress.

Upon hearing Chu Yang's words, Lin Xi felt a chill and immediately left the cultivation room in a hurry.

"Oh no, oh no!"

"I forgot to report to my master!"

"I have to go back now!"

So Lin Xi simply abandoned Chu Yang and returned to Shuiyue Peak.

The martial arts competition had just ended, and he had mysteriously disappeared for half a month. Shuiyue Peak must be extremely anxious.

Even Master Qiu Gulan will definitely blame him.

Watching Lin Xi's disappearing figure, Chu Yang shook his head helplessly and also left Jiu Yan Cave Heaven.

really.

After Lin Xi returned to his bedroom, he found Shi Xiaoman fast asleep on a bench in his dojo.

He seemed to be dreaming about something, muttering some nonsense and drooling.

"Junior Sister, Junior Sister."

Lin Xi stepped forward and patted Shi Xiaoman's cheek, which woke her up groggily.

"Hmm... Second Senior Sister? You're back?!"

"Junior Sister, why are you sleeping here?"

"Second Senior Sister, it's all because you left without saying a word beforehand. Master told me to wait for you."

"If we hadn't known that you would eventually enter the Nine Flames Cave Heaven to cultivate, our Water Moon Peak would probably have been in an uproar long ago."

Upon seeing Lin Xi arrive, Shi Xiaoman's face lit up with joy. She wiped her drool and immediately grabbed Lin Xi's arm.

"Second Senior Sister, did you go to cultivate with Chu Yang? It's been half a month already."

Lin Xi nodded slightly, "I rushed back as soon as I came out of quarantine."

"Now that you're back, Second Senior Sister, come with me to pay our respects to Master. Originally, Master was supposed to come looking for you immediately after the martial arts competition, but you went straight to cultivation."

"Oh right, this is the reward from the champion of the martial arts competition. I haven't seen you these past few days, so I've kept it with me for safekeeping."

Remembering something, Shi Xiaoman immediately handed the ring to Lin Xi.

"Does Master have something important to discuss with me?" Lin Xi asked, accepting the ring.

"I'm not entirely sure, but it seems to be a discussion about your future cultivation, and it also seems to involve you and Chu Yang."

At this point, Shi Xiaoman couldn't help but show a hint of guilt on her face.

"Second Senior Sister, it seems that Master already knows about your engagement with Chu Yang, so she wants to summon you to ask about the situation between you two."

"Master already knows about my marriage to Chu Yang?" Lin Xi's expression changed.

When it comes to his own romantic relationships, his master has always been very strict.
