Nangong Wan pouted and put her hands on her hips. "So what if I hit you? Can't I hit you?"

Seeing Nangong Wan's shrewish, tiger-like demeanor, Xiao Xuanyuan shrank back and immediately cowered, "Yes, it's only right for Master to hit me. Hit me as much as you like."

This guy even offered his head up automatically, looking like a docile little thing ready to be beaten. Seeing this, Nangong Wan couldn't help but chuckle; in an instant, it was as if winter snow had melted and spring flowers had bloomed, incredibly beautiful.

"You're so good at pleasing me, I won't beat you up for now." Nangong Wan said, gently and virtuously reaching out her slender hand to rub his head.

"As expected, my precious master is still the best to me, hehe," Xiao Xuanyuan said with a silly grin.

"Hey, you brat, where are you putting your stinky hands?" Just as she was getting a little nicer to this brat, Nangong Wan discovered that a hand had already reached under her lower abdomen and was causing a ruckus. This prompted Nangong Wan to give him another sharp rap on the head, which made Xiao Xuanyuan quickly stop and look aggrieved.

"They're already on their wedding night, what's wrong with touching each other? Is she really a tigress?" Xiao Xuanyuan said the last sentence very quietly, almost muttering it.

But Nangong Wan still heard it. She was furious. She reached out her slender hand and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's ear, pretending to twist it. She said angrily, "What did you just say? I didn't hear you. Say it again!"

"I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything at all." Xiao Xuanyuan waved his hand, not daring to provoke her.

"You brat, you haven't even drunk the nuptial wine yet, and you're already in such a hurry. If I don't beat you, who will I beat?" Nangong Wan snorted with some dissatisfaction, but her slender hand had already put down and picked up the wine pot on the table next to her, filling two wine cups.

"Oh dear, how could I forget this!" Xiao Xuanyuan slapped his forehead and reached for the wine glass, but Nangong Wan gently patted his outstretched hand, stopping his clumsy attempt, and then taught him step by step.

“That’s not how you drink it. We’re husband and wife now, so we should cross our hands and drink it like this.”

Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes. He'd been married countless times; surely he understood? But he still gave Nangong Wan face. After all, she'd be his wife after tonight, so he could do whatever he wanted with her.

The two crossed their arms, leaned together, lightly clinked their glasses, and then slowly drank the wine, touching their lips to each other.

After finishing the wine in one gulp, this time he didn't use the flames inside his body to evaporate it. Instead, he threw the wine glass aside, transformed into a hungry wolf pouncing on its prey, and pounced on Nangong Wan on the wedding bed.

This time, Nangong Wan did not stop him, but scolded him, "You brat, you're always so impulsive." However, her extremely beautiful face was flushed.

"My dear Master, I've missed you so much!" Xiao Xuanyuan pressed down on that soft, fragrant body and kissed Nangong Wan's alluring red lips.

"Hmm," came a soft murmur from Nangong Wan in response.

The red curtain was lifted by Xiao Xuanyuan's foot, concealing a patch of spring scenery. With a wave of his hand, a burst of fighting spirit extinguished the flames of two large red candles.

In an instant, the spring rain was as soft as butter, and the peach blossoms in the room could not be contained, only their subtle fragrance wafted out!

Chapter Twenty-Five: The Truth Revealed and They Were Taught a Lesson

The next day, as dawn broke, I slipped into the palace through the cracks in the doors and windows.

It lazily woke Xiao Xuanyuan, bringing a light to his eyes.

He woke up naturally, his muscular physique, comparable to that of a tall model, reflected a pure and fierce masculine aura in the sunlight.

"Hmm, it's morning already? Still haven't had enough sleep?"

Xiao Xuanyuan comfortably rolled over and hugged the soft, yielding body tightly in his arms.

I gently inhaled the captivating, delicate fragrance.

I closed my eyes again, as if lost in reverie, wanting to continue sleeping like this.

Yesterday, when the wedding procession was underway, Mingyu's maid was right; Xiao Xuanyuan's physique was indeed incredibly impressive!

The two of them had been making love all night, but Nangong Wan, being new to the ways of the world, was not yet ready for a long and intense experience.

But Xiao Xuanyuan was like a wild beast, stubbornly fighting for three rounds. If Nangong Wan hadn't been unable to bear it and cried out in pain, he wouldn't have given up.

He could practically fight off fifth and sixth-tier magical beasts with just his bare hands and physical strength! Those are equivalent to human Dou Huang or Dou Zong level experts! With just his physical strength, Xiao Xuanyuan could easily crush them!

With a soft "hmm," the beauty in his arms slowly awoke.

Xiao Xuanyuan grinned mischievously, playfully teasing her with his hand before whispering in Nangong Wan's ear, "My dear Shizun, how about we do another morning workout? It'll help you stay healthy!"

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan, who was still half-asleep, instantly woke up. She stretched out her slender hand and pinched Xiao Xuanyuan's waist, glaring at him fiercely. "You brat, you tormented me so much last night, and now you're trying to do something naughty? Are you trying to kill me?"

The pain in his waist made Xiao Xuanyuan wince, but he still reached out and stroked Nangong Wan's hair. "Does it still hurt?"

Nangong Wan released the soft flesh around his waist, rolled her eyes in annoyance, and punched Xiao Xuanyuan's chest with her small fist, saying coquettishly, "What do you think, you brat, you're so bad!"

"Sigh, I have no choice. It seems I'll have to find a few more women in the future." Xiao Xuanyuan gave a bitter smile and slumped down helplessly.

"You dare! I'll beat you to death!" Nangong Wan huffed and plopped down on his chest, pretending to pinch him again.

Xiao Xuanyuan looked at her with gentle eyes, saying nothing, letting her pinch him.

Nangong Wan pinched him several times, but Xiao Xuanyuan didn't react except for his face contorting in pain.

Seeing this, Nangong Wan stopped making a fuss, pressed her head against his chest, and listened to the beating of his heart. "Why aren't you saying anything? You're usually such a troublemaker, aren't you?"

Xiao Xuanyuan remained silent, only affectionately reaching out to stroke the strands of hair on her forehead and gently caressing her head.

Feeling Xiao Xuanyuan's tenderness, Nangong Wan nestled comfortably against his chest like a kitten, her eyes half-closed as she continued to sleep. Before she knew it, she had fallen asleep again.

When Nangong Wan woke up, the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Xiao Xuanyuan looking at her with a smile. She felt embarrassed and pinched Xiao Xuanyuan's waist hard, which made him glare at her fiercely.

"You brat, did you take advantage of me while I was sleeping again?"

That's what she said, but Nangong Wan was just trying to hide her shyness.

"Master, you're wrong about that. I usually wake you up and I haven't dared to move since. I didn't expect you to pinch me as soon as you woke up. I'm really wronged." Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, reached out and grabbed Nangong Wan's clothes from the bedside, and threw them at her. "Have you slept enough? If you have, get up. My darling Master, you little lazy pig."

Nangong Wan was still angry, so she pinched him hard again. Only then, amidst Xiao Xuanyuan's contorted and painful expression, did she put on her clothes and get up to dress and groom herself.

Seeing that the tigress had gotten up, Xiao Xuanyuan rubbed his sore and numb neck and body, and then got up.

A moment later, a maid brought in two basins of clear water for Xiao Xuanyuan and his companion to wash up.

Through the newly opened door, Xiao Xuanyuan caught a glimpse of Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, and a dozen other women, all standing guard outside with menacing expressions. A bitter smile crept onto his face; what was bound to happen had finally arrived!

Snapped!

Half an hour later, after Nangong Wan, who looked puzzled but seemed to have expected it, finished listening to the women's stories, she slapped Xiao Xuanyuan hard across the cheek, leaving a clear, bright red handprint.

Seemingly still not satisfied, Nangong Wan struck Xiao Xuanyuan with both hands, making both sides of his face turn red. The dozen or so women around, including Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, couldn't bear to watch, and felt a pang of heartache.

Although Xiao Xuanyuan was indeed a womanizer, he was genuinely good to them. They still had feelings and tolerance for their man, especially such an outstanding one as Xiao Xuanyuan. It would be a lie to say they didn't feel sorry for him when they saw him being whipped by Nangong Wan from both sides.

"Alright, stop hitting that big bad uncle!" Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan being slapped more than a dozen times, Xiao Ziyan was the first to not be able to bear watching. She immediately jumped out and reached out to block Xiao Xuanyuan, preventing Nangong Wan from continuing to hit him.

"What's wrong, little one? You feel sorry for him?" Nangong Wan asked with great interest, bending down and reaching out her slender hand to pat Xiao Ziyan's head.

Little Ziyan pouted stubbornly, "That big bad uncle is so good to Little Ziyan, you can't hit him."

"Okay, okay, I won't hit you, but you have to answer your sister, how good is this brat to you usually?" Nangong Wan was amused by the little girl's antics, and looking at her cute and adorable little face, she liked her even more.

"Uncle Big Bad Guy often takes me shopping and buys me ice cream, cakes, shaved ice, and so on. Little Ziyan likes him the most." Little Ziyan's big, dark, and bright eyes sparkled.

Nangong Wan chuckled and patted Xiao Ziyan's head. She stood up and looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, who had a look of shame on his face. "Since the little one likes you so much, well, I forgive you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was taken aback, then his face lit up with joy. He reached out and grasped Nangong Wan's soft, delicate hand. "My dear Master, are you not going to leave me?"

Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at him, then pulled her hand away and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's ear. "When did I say I wanted to leave you? You are my husband now. You can't just leave whenever you want!"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle!" Xiao Xuanyuan cried out in pain, but he was secretly overjoyed. As long as Nangong Wan didn't leave him, he was willing to beat her up.

Nangong Wan twisted her hand with a little force and continued to lecture her, "Don't think I don't know about your messy affairs. How do you explain it to the Flower Fairy? You already have a child, and you left that mother and daughter aside, and then you came running over here wanting me to marry you."

While berating her, Nangong Wan also started hitting her, "And what's wrong with that Miss Zhao Zhilan? Don't think I don't know. I just haven't exposed you yet. You brat, you're always flirting with other girls and ruining their lives. Today I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget."

Ah!

From within Luonan Palace, Xiao Xuanyuan's agonizing screams echoed in the distance.

Chapter Twenty-Six: I Don't Want to Be a Widow

Seven days later, he fell into the Southern Palace.

After Xiao Xuanyuan married Nangong Wan, she moved from Luoyun Palace to Luonan Palace to live with Xiao Xuanyuan.

After learning about Xiao Xuanyuan's affair with the Flower Fairy, Zhao Zhilan, and the other women, Nangong Wan decided not to pursue the matter any further.

He simply gave Xiao Xuanyuan a good beating and brought Zhao Zhilan to Luonan Palace to live with the other women.

In any case, there are about twenty palaces and temporary residences in Luonan Palace, which are quite spacious and can accommodate so many people.

As punishment, Nangong Wan deliberately ignored Xiao Xuanyuan for three days, refusing to let her touch her or speak to him.

But she couldn't stand Xiao Xuanyuan's shamelessness. He would come to her palace every night to sleep with her and mess with her. Nangong Wan was both angry and helpless, and could only let this brat do whatever he wanted.

Nangong Wan was very fond of the adorable little Nianxiao.

How could Xiao Xuanyuan possibly disappoint his beloved?

As for Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, and a dozen other women, they simply stopped returning to the inner courtyard and spent their days in Luo Nangong, gradually becoming familiar with Nangong Wan, Hua Xianzi, and Zhao Zhilan.

After spending some time together, the women got to know each other's personalities and often addressed each other as sisters.

Through recommendations from the women, and with unanimous agreement based on factors such as age, Nangong Wan was chosen as the eldest sister.

As for her, she's in the same camp as Little Witch Hu Jia.

Ye Ningyan, Little Fairy Doctor, Princess Yaoye, and Princess Xiaoyue form one faction.

In addition, Han Yue, Xiao Ziyan, Liu Fei, and Lan Yiyi form a neutral faction, while Flower Fairy and Zhao Zhilan directly approach and get close to Nangong Wan, thus joining her faction.

Because of Nangong Wan's dignified, generous, gentle, reserved, noble and elegant personality, as well as her celestial beauty, Xiao Ziyan and Han Yue were extremely close to her. After discussing it with Lan Yiyi, Liu Fei also took the initiative to get close to her.

For a time, Nangong Wan's camp had the most members.

However, Xiao Xuanyuan had no interest in these kinds of "palace intrigue" dramas.

That day, Xiao Xuanyuan stayed in Luo Nangong's training room, sitting cross-legged.

"Elder Yao, this time I plan to enter the eighth floor of the Divine Medicine Pavilion to find a few Saint-level spiritual herbs and elixirs for you to refine your physical body. I'll also bring you your Bone Spirit Cold Flame to increase my strength!"

Faced with Xiao Xuanyuan's request, Yao Lao pondered for a long time before gritting his teeth and separating the Bone Spirit Cold Flame from his soul, handing it over to Xiao Xuanyuan.

So Xiao Xuanyuan swallowed the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, which ranked eleventh on the Strange Flame Ranking, in one gulp. He formed hand seals, sat cross-legged in the training room, and cultivated for a day and a night, completely devouring and refining the Bone Spirit Cold Flame. His strength rose from the peak of the first-level Dou Zun to the peak of the fifth-level Dou Zun! He advanced by a huge margin!

Currently, Xiao Xuanyuan has mastered eight different flames: Six Paths Reincarnation Flame, Dragon Flame, Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Volcanic Stone Flame, Wind Fury Dragon Flame, Fallen Heart Flame, Sea Heart Flame, and Bone Spirit Cold Flame. The flame formed by the fusion of these many different flames presents a purplish-gold color.

After absorbing the Sea Heart Flame, the Burning Technique advanced to a level that was infinitely close to the Heavenly Rank technique. With the help of the strange fire energy of the Bone Spirit Cold Fire, the Burning Technique finally successfully advanced to the "Low-level Heavenly Rank technique"!

Each stage of the Dou Zun peak is equivalent to the total amount of Dou Qi required to cultivate from the first to the ninth star of the Dou Zun realm. Xiao Xuanyuan was quite satisfied to have advanced four stages at once, from the first stage of the Dou Zun peak to the fifth stage of the Dou Zun peak.

It seems that after years of nourishment by the old medicine master, the Bone Spirit Cold Flame has grown in spirituality and fire energy by an unknown amount, which may be the reason for its existence.
