Chapter 939: Chapter 943: Qi Cultivation Level Seven!

    The two exchanged glances for a moment, and Xia Liu was the first to bite into the Age-Halting Fruit.

    The Age-Halting Fruit, which looked just like an ordinary peach, was devoured by Xia Liu in one gulp.

    In an instant, an abundance of sweet juice flooded his mouth.

    Within the juice was an immense surge of Spiritual Energy!

    The flesh of the fruit transformed into a stream of energy, rushing into his meridians.

    Xia Liu’s eyes trembled as an indescribable sensation spread from the depths of his soul. Sёarch* The N??eFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    After a minute, the feeling gradually dissipated.

    Clenching his fists, he felt power surging through him.

    The Spiritual Energy in his Dantian increased further.

    “Qi Cultivation Level Seven – Peak!”

    At the same time, Xia Liu’s Divine Sense expanded, encompassing everything within a thousand meters.

    The usage of his Divine Sense came with no burden; the seals he had torn apart earlier now fully stabilized!

    From now on, Xia Liu would be able to walk the Warrior Realm with the Cultivation of Qi Cultivation Level Seven!

    His Divine Sense range expanded to a thousand meters, increasing tenfold!

    “Hahaha!”

    At these thoughts, Xia Liu burst into laughter.

    Beside him, Guo Man stared blankly at Xia Liu, not because his laughter was particularly charming.

    But because his face was shedding a layer of skin, which was clearly visible.

    Underneath the peeling skin, his complexion emerged snowy white and tender—walking through the streets, it would surely incite envy from countless women.

    Noticing the transformation on his face, Xia Liu activated his Spiritual Energy and immediately shook off the remaining skin.

    A cool sensation enveloped his cheeks, a subtle confidence radiating from within.

    “So this is the effect of the Age-Halting Fruit…”

    Guo Man was stunned.

    Xia Liu, though not much different from before, now carried an indescribable aura, a charm that seemed to make him even more handsome.

    Without dwelling further, Guo Man promptly put the Age-Halting Fruit into her mouth.

    A few minutes later, a thin layer, like a facial mask, slid off her face.

    “What are you staring at? Is there a flower on my face?”

    Touching her refreshed cheeks, Guo Man muttered shyly.

    “There is—a splendid one! The effects of the Age-Halting Fruit are truly extraordinary!”

    Guo Man’s face, already captivating, now exuded even more allure thanks to the miraculous effects of the fruit.

    An elegant fragrance wafted from her body, and Xia Liu felt that if he continued looking, he might lose his composure, so he hastily turned his gaze away.

    “Thank you, Xia Liu…”

    Guo Man struggled to find the words to express her feelings. “Thank you” felt like a safe choice.

    “No need for thanks—what’s mine is yours, and what’s yours… is still yours.”

    Xia Liu teased.

    Oh…

    Guo Man was caught off guard. What could she say?

    Such flirtatious remarks flooded her mind, causing her face to abruptly flush with color.

    She cupped her cheeks on both sides, unwilling to let go, fearing Xia Liu might catch sight of her current embarrassment.

    “Hmm?”

    Suddenly, Xia Liu shivered, then steadied himself before sending a Divine Consciousness Sound Transmission to a point 800 meters away: “Madam Guo, Little Man has already woken up. Aren’t you coming to see her?”

    Uh, uh, uh…

    On the bustling avenue, Guo Fanghua stopped in her tracks and looked around incredulously.

    Xia Liu’s voice had directly reached her ears—what technique had he used?

    If he was still in the courtyard, then from this distance…

    Terrifying.

    Unable to fathom Xia Liu’s abilities, Guo Fanghua hastened toward the courtyard.

    Knocking on the gate, her heart brimming with excitement.

    “Little Man, it’s your mother—go on.”

    “Mother’s come!”

    Upon hearing this, Guo Man’s expression suddenly changed.

    Her recent unusual behavior had surely been noticed by her mother.

    Facing her mother now felt overwhelmingly awkward…

    Without hesitation, she bolted toward the house, unwilling to explain her relationship with Xia Liu—let him figure it out himself.

    …

    Watching Guo Man flee into the room, Xia Liu was rendered speechless but understood.

    After all, she’d just confessed to him; facing her own mother, it was only natural she’d feel shy.

    “Xia Liu, where’s Little Man?”

    As soon as the door opened, Guo Fanghua immediately asked.

    “When she heard it was you at the gate, she ran back to her room…”

    “Hmm? Did something happen between you two?”

    Guo Fanghua instantly sensed something amiss, her sharp eyes fixing firmly on Xia Liu.

    “Well, yes, something did happen—Little Man agreed to be my girlfriend.”

    “That’s good, but are you sincere about it?”

    “Absolutely sincere, without a shred of doubt.”

    Xia Liu dared not falter—this was, after all, his future mother-in-law.

    “I’ll go check then. If things aren’t as you said… heh…”

    Guo Fanghua left the latter part of her statement hanging as she hurried toward the house.

    It was about two hours later when Guo Fanghua and Guo Man came downstairs.

    “Xia Liu, I’ve heard everything. I hope you’ll treat my daughter well in the future. If she suffers even a bit of grievance, I won’t let you off.”

    “Mom, don’t worry. Your daughter is very strong—in the future, it’ll only be me getting bullied by her. How would I dare bully her?”

    Clinging to her mother’s arm, Guo Man said shyly.

    “Daughter, this guy looks just like a pampered pretty boy. Be cautious with him in the future…”

    “Pfft…”

    Xia Liu and Guo Man burst out laughing at the same time.

    “Madam Guo, don’t misunderstand. My fair complexion is because of the Age-Halting Fruit…”

    “I know, don’t mind me. I was just joking to lighten the mood. The fact that you gifted the Age-Halting Fruit to me and Little Man shows you have sincerity. I believe she’ll be in good hands with you.”

    Guo Fanghua, who hadn’t seen her daughter this happy in a long time, felt her mood improve significantly.

    “Mom, he and I aren’t totally set yet—I might even dump him someday.”

    “Little Man, stop saying such foolish things. With your heart, I can see through you in one glance.”

    “Mom! Can’t you give me a little dignity?”

    Guo Man certainly knew Xia Liu would go along with her, but her mother—why did she always belittle her in front of Xia Liu?

    “Alright, alright, I’ll give you some dignity.”

    Guo Fanghua’s expression suddenly softened…

    “Little Man, Madam Guo, I may need to close off for a few days—I won’t return until three days from now.”

    Watching the playful mother-daughter interaction, Xia Liu spoke slowly.

    “Closed-door training? You fell into the Secluded Valley and your injuries haven’t healed yet?”

    Guo Fanghua’s face grew solemn as she asked in concern.

    “No, I’ve obtained two mental methods from the Guo family’s ancestor at the valley bottom—Heaven and Earth Moving Wind and Sword Drawing Technique. I promised Daoist Fellow Guo Po to demonstrate these techniques before I leave…”

    Xia Liu proceeded to share his commitments in full detail.

    “You plan to master those two mental methods within three days?”

    Guo Fanghua stared at Xia Liu in shock.

    As the Guo family’s Heavenly Rank Peak Martial Artist…

    She had, of course, studied those two techniques.

    Even she had needed five years to scratch the surface of their complexity.

    Heaven and Earth Moving Wind required four Inner Origin practitioners to jointly execute.

    Sword Drawing Technique, on the other hand, needed a Sword Cultivator of considerable Realm to qualify for practice.

    And now Xia Liu claimed he’d master them within three days and perform for Guo Po. This sounded utterly absurd.

    “Mom, are those two mental methods really that profound?”

    Beside her, Guo Man noticed the atmosphere growing tense and couldn’t help but ask.
