CHAPTER 348: CHAPTER 227: THE GREAT CHARACTER OUTBURST AFTER RELEASING YANG QI

It must be said, though Lianxin was just a servant of Murong Fenghua, she could certainly be considered top-tier in terms of beauty. Especially since she was so docile and sensible—that definitely added to her charm. After all, who wouldn’t like an obedient and understanding girl? This is what so many people dream of.

"Mr. Wen..." Lianxin’s rosy lips parted slightly as she spoke in a delicate voice, her cheeks flushed with a tipsy radiance. Her silk robe was half-undone, her tender skin glowing lustrously under the dim light, adding a touch of color to the spartan cave dwelling. Yet her eyes kept flitting away, avoiding his.

"Lianxin..." Wen Zhixing looked up, his gaze unabashedly fixed on her.

"Sir..." Lianxin involuntarily lowered her head.

A girl is still a girl, after all. Even if she had made up her mind, how could she perfectly conceal the trepidation in her heart?

"You are full of Yang Qi, which can be released."

"You are full of Yang Qi, which can be released."

"You are full of Yang Qi, which can be released."

Panel prompts popped up at the right moment.

You brought this upon yourself. Wen Zhixing’s eyes shimmered, his heart surging. He wasn’t a reserved person by nature. He wouldn’t normally provoke others, but if someone wasn’t afraid to die and insisted on a ’spar,’ he wouldn’t let them off easily. I will grant your wish!

In the next moment, Wen Zhixing’s figure vanished from Lianxin’s sight. A warm sensation appeared around her waist.

"AH!" Before Lianxin could react, she felt a sensation of weightlessness, and her body was already suspended in the air. Soon, her slender white feet delicately kicked in the air twice before she fell into Wen Zhixing’s warm embrace.

A wave of rich Yang Qi rushed towards her. Those strong arms encircled her firmly, pressing her against his solid chest as if they were melting into each other.

"Mr. Wen..." Lianxin felt breathless, her eyes clouded with bewilderment. It’s too hot!

With the circulation of the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra, an incredibly fearsome Yang Qi emanated from Wen Zhixing’s body. To Lianxin, this aura was even more intoxicating than the Wonderous Soul-devouring Pill. A mere embrace already gave her a floating sensation, as if she were an immortal.

"Don’t worry, I will treat you well in the future," Wen Zhixing said gently.

Although he was no saint, he wasn’t someone who would casually abandon another after getting involved. The nature of their relationship was clear to both of them. If Lianxin continued to be sensible, he would treat her well.

"Mm..." Lianxin’s heart fluttered, her voice tinged with shyness. Her heart thumped wildly, like a startled deer. She had never seen Wen Zhixing smile so tenderly before. His deep, dark eyes sparkled with a gentle, watery light.

WHOOSH. Accompanied by a gust from his sleeve, the candlelight inside the cave flickered and died. In the heart of spring, the verdant grass was lush, and fallen petals lay in profusion.

...

"Gray Fortune Fragment +1, current Gray Fortune Fragment: 1/1."

"White Fortune Fragment +2, current White Fortune Fragment: 2/2."

"Blue Fortune Fragment +1, current Blue Fortune Fragment: 3/3."

"Purple Fortune Fragment +1, current Purple Fortune Fragment: 4/4."

"Current life-span: 1008."

「The night passed in a flash.」

While Wen Zhixing was ’sparring’ with Lianxin, he didn’t forget to collect Fortune Fragments. He really was working so hard. Five times in a row, he directly used up two years of his life-span. It must be said, he was truly risking his life. Fortunately, on the fifth collection of Fortune Fragments, a Purple Fortune Fragment was directly extracted. Luck wasn’t too bad.

As it happened, this harvest nearly completed his collection of Fortune Fragments. Only one Golden Fortune Fragment was lacking.

"Current Golden Fortune Fragment: 4/5."

At this time, Lianxin, who had lost during last night’s ’sparring,’ was nestling in Wen Zhixing’s embrace like a kitten, sound asleep. Her fair and flawless skin still bore some remaining traces. Her face wore an involuntary smile, her long lashes trembling slightly with each breath.

Wen Zhixing gazed down, gently stroking the girl’s smooth, fair cheek, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Mumbling something indistinctly in her sleep, Lianxin shifted and snuggled closer into Wen Zhixing’s embrace.

It must be said, Lianxin was indeed a bit exhausted. Such an all-night ’sparring’ session was hardly something a beginner like her could handle. It was only because Wen Zhixing considered it her "first offense" that he didn’t go all out. Otherwise, the session wouldn’t have ended so quickly.

Of course, with effort comes reward. After all, it was cultivation, and with a mentor like Wen Zhixing, how could there not be progress through ’sparring’? This time, Lianxin had gained immensely. Under Wen Zhixing’s guidance, she learned the full suite of the eighteen martial skills. It was the first time Wen Zhixing had encountered such a diligent student. He taught with all his heart and effort.

Finally, Lianxin’s previously stagnant cultivation broke through its shackles last night, and she officially stepped into the Fourth Realm. The Pure Yang Qi within Wen Zhixing’s body was of immense help to her.

As for Wen Zhixing, the night’s ’sparring’ also allowed his cultivation to grow somewhat.

It’s just a pity that I don’t have the lower volume of the Nine-Turns Sun Sutra yet, so I can’t break through for the time being. Eventually, I’ll need to find an opportunity to get the lower volume from Liu Qingxuan.

Let’s activate the Fortune first.

Wen Zhixing didn’t allow himself to remain immersed in transient pleasures. He was clear about when to focus on important matters. Placing Lianxin aside, he opened the panel.
