Outside the Immortal Lord's Manor, Nian'an's clear almond eyes shone terrifyingly bright.
She clamped her hand over Bai Yao's mouth, dragging her towards the west courtyard.
“Hurry, hurry, don't get in the way here!”
Nian'an lowered her voice, though an irrepressible excitement seeped into her tone,
“The Lord Husband and Lady Wife are busy. Did you hear the Lord Husband's screams just now? Tsk, tsk, tsk...!”
Bai Yao's entire face was as red as a ripe apple.
She dared not reply, allowing Nian'an to pull her away from the main gate of the manor.
Inside the master bedroom, the atmosphere was intimate.
Zhang Mingyuan's scream earlier was merely to cooperate with Su Jinxue, to give her some face.
Because, after obtaining the Pure Yang Dragon Tiger Origin Qi, he felt his prowess was unmatched!
He doubted anything in this world could “defeat” his prowess now...
Sometimes, invincibility also brings a certain loneliness~~~
Su Jinxue heard the commotion outside the manor, her neck flushing pink with embarrassment.
She released him, rolled over, and turned her back to him.
Zhang Mingyuan rubbed what hadn't actually been hurt, then shamelessly moved closer.
He wrapped his arms around Su Jinxue's slender waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
“Wife, your strike was quite fierce.”
Zhang Mingyuan's tone was aggrieved,
“Your husband is injured here; only a kiss and a gentle blow from his wife can heal it.”
Su Jinxue turned to glare at him, raising her fist and striking Zhang Mingyuan's chest hard.
“Don't you dare spout such nonsense again!”
After landing that punch, she pulled back the corner of the quilt and propped herself up to get out of bed.
As soon as her feet touched the floor, her legs felt weak and sore.
Last night's nine dual cultivations, coupled with Zhang Mingyuan's relentless... even for a Red Dust Immortal like her, it was a bit much to handle.
Her body swayed, and she tumbled straight back.
Zhang Mingyuan, quick as a flash, extended his arm and steadily pulled her soft body into his embrace.
With her soft body in his arms, the flame in Zhang Mingyuan's heart ignited once more.
He lowered his head, his nose brushing against Su Jinxue's fair neck.
“Since my wife can't get up, how about we start another round?”
A mischievous smile played on Zhang Mingyuan's lips.
Su Jinxue was startled and quickly pushed against his chest with her hand.
“No!”
Her voice held a rare mix of panic and vulnerability,
“Zhang Mingyuan, I... I can't go on... Can I rest for a while?”
The dignified Lady Wife of the Yunxue Immortal Territory, controller of the Extreme Cold Frost and Samsara Great Dao, was actually forced to utter words like, “I can't go on.”
Zhang Mingyuan saw the exhaustion at the corners of her eyes, and his heart instantly softened completely.
He dropped his playful grin and gently patted her back.
“Alright, alright, it's my fault. I overdid it last night.”
Zhang Mingyuan coaxed softly,
“Wife, rest well. I won't touch you.”
Su Jinxue leaned against him, softly humming in response.
After comforting his wife, Zhang Mingyuan said,
“System Bro, pull up the progress panel for the laws of the Heavenly Marriage.”
“I put in so much effort last night, it should be at least ten percent, right?”
A translucent panel unfolded.
【Laws of the Heavenly Marriage Cultivation Progress: 0.1%】
The tenderness on Zhang Mingyuan's face instantly froze.
Zero point one?
“Are you kidding me?!”
He nearly sacrificed his life last night, and it only increased by zero point one?
At this rate, he'd have to lie in bed with Su Jinxue for a thousand years to max out the progress!
“System, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation.”
“Are you withholding my progress? Or is your cultivation technique simply defective?!”
【Host's Dao companion, please remain calm】
【A Red Dust Immortal is the combat ceiling of this realm, their life essence has already transcended mortality】
【The higher the realm of the Dao companion, the geometrically greater the difficulty of dual cultivating the laws of the Heavenly Marriage】
【To increase by 0.1% in one night is already a result of the Host's extraordinary talent and abundant 'capital'】
Zhang Mingyuan's mouth twitched twice.
This compliment somehow tasted sour.
He sighed.
It was incredibly difficult for a Red Dust Immortal to bear offspring; without great fortune, it was almost impossible.
The road home was long and arduous.
Sensing Zhang Mingyuan's slight melancholy, Su Jinxue hugged him in her arms.
“Zhang Mingyuan, don't worry. A thousand years in the Xuanling Realm is only one day on Blue Star; we still have plenty of time.”
Zhang Mingyuan's heart softened, and he kissed his wife: “Wife, thank you.”
Just then, the system prompt sounded again—
【Detected that the Host's Dao companion is saddened by the inability to bear offspring, a friendly reminder!】
【Host, proceed to 'Xuanhe Mountain' in the Central Plains to obtain the Immortal-grade spiritual plant—Twin Shadow Symbiotic Begonia】
【After acquisition, the Twin Shadow Symbiotic Begonia can be refined with the Yin-Yang Luan-Phoenix Immortal Grass and Twin Concentric Lotus to create the Three Essences Concentric Pill】
【Three Essences Concentric Pill: Can significantly boost the cultivation progress of the laws of the Heavenly Marriage】
Zhang Mingyuan was stunned.
Xuanhe Mountain?
“Isn't that Daoist Lord Wuchen's Daoist field?”
“Oh, dear, it's that guy. Will he give it to me?”
“If he doesn't, should I take it by force?”
“Perhaps taking it by force wouldn't be good. After all, on the day of his grand wedding with Su Jinxue, Daoist Lord Wuchen went so far as to suffer a Dao injury to refine two Fortune Red String Pills for him.”
“Never mind for now. As an Immortal Lord, I lack nothing good. I can give him something in return, a fair exchange.”
“If that doesn't work, I'll figure out another way.”
Having made up his mind, Zhang Mingyuan looked down at Su Jinxue in his arms.
Zhang Mingyuan carefully withdrew his arm and tucked the quilt around her.
“Wife, you rest well for now. I'm going to find Daoist Lord Wuchen and see if I can get that item.”
“Mm, come back soon.”
“Alright.”
Zhang Mingyuan leaned down and kissed her forehead.
Then, fully dressed, he pushed open the door, transformed into a streak of sword light, and soared into the sky, vanishing within the Yunxue Immortal Territory.
Silence returned to the room.
Su Jinxue lay on the bed, feeling waves of soreness wash over her body once more.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
【Detected that the Host was over-exerted by her Dao companion last night, resulting in extreme physical fatigue.】
【Ding! Mission issued】
【Mission Content: Breathe continuously for two and a half minutes】
【Mission Reward: Pure Land Immortal Conception Body】
【Note: This physique can perfectly merge with the Host's Innate Unblemished Dao Body, greatly enhancing endurance and recovery during dual cultivation, making the Host extraordinarily gifted in that aspect, enough to 'drain' a Red Dust Immortal-level Dao companion, and increasing the chance of conception tenfold!】
Su Jinxue stared at the words on the panel, her entire face instantly flushing crimson, even her earlobes turning red.
“What kind of brazen words are these?!”
“What does 'extraordinarily gifted in that aspect' mean? What does 'drain' a Dao companion mean?”
“How could I, the dignified Red Dust Immortal and Lady Wife of the Yunxue Immortal Territory, possibly want such an immodest physique?!”
“I absolutely do not want such a thing!” Su Jinxue coldly refused in her mind.
However, when her gaze swept over the words “increasing the chance of conception tenfold,” her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.
Zhang Mingyuan longed so much to return to that place called Blue Star.
“If I had this physique, wouldn't it help him achieve his wish sooner?”
Su Jinxue bit her lower lip, caught in an internal struggle.
Moreover, the mission requirements were very strange.
“Breathe for two and a half minutes?”
“How long is two and a half minutes?”
The timekeeping units in the Xuanling Realm didn't even have a concept of 'minutes'.
“Is it an incense stick's time? A cup of tea's time? Or an entire hour?”
Just as she was hesitating and pondering wildly,
【Detected that the Host has breathed continuously for two and a half minutes. Mission perfectly completed!】
【Reward distribution beginning!】
“Wait! I haven't agreed to accept this mission yet!”
Su Jinxue panicked, trying to forcibly sever her connection with the system.
But it was already too late.
An irresistible, profound power appeared out of thin air within her limbs and bones.
This power was not overbearing; instead, it exuded an ultimate gentleness and inclusiveness.
It traveled along her meridians, quickly intertwining with her Innate Unblemished Dao Body.
Su Jinxue couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
She felt her body undergoing a wondrous transformation.
Deep within her dantian, a lotus platform emanating a pink halo quietly emerged.
The lotus platform slowly rotated, continuously nourishing her limbs and bones.
The soreness from last night was swept away in a few breaths.
In its place was an unprecedented sense of fullness.
She felt her senses magnified countless times.
Zhang Mingyuan's lingering scent on the bed went straight into her nostrils.
The scent of the Pure Yang Dragon Tiger Origin Qi was, at this moment, more alluring to her than even the most potent immortal pill.
A strange, burning undercurrent gathered uncontrollably in her lower abdomen.
Su Jinxue tightly clutched the bedsheet beneath her, a hazy mist appearing in her crimson pupils.
“This physique... how can it be so sinister?!”
Only one thought remained in her mind now—
Zhang Mingyuan, she missed Zhang Mingyuan so much.
“Zhang Mingyuan…”
She bit her red lips, her legs unconsciously twisting together,
“When will you return…”
