CHAPTER 1042: CHAPTER 1039: THIS DAY!

Li Chen didn’t directly answer Ximen Qingxue’s words, but instead took a deep sniff.

"Such a sour smell, did someone’s jar of jealousy get overturned?"

Ximen Qingxue rolled her eyes dramatically and feigned annoyance, "Hmph, only a fool would get jealous!"

"Hey, who let you into my boudoir? Apart from my father, no other man has ever entered my room!"

Li Chen ignored Ximen Qingxue’s protest and continued to stride inside unfazed.

Seeing Li Chen’s disregard, Ximen Qingxue reached out to push him.

But just as her small hand stretched out, it was seized by Li Chen.

Then, with a swift tug, Li Chen pulled Ximen Qingxue into his embrace.

Ximen Qingxue struggled, but to no avail.

Seeing Ximen Qingxue’s pout that could practically hang a bottle, Li Chen leaned close to her ear and whispered softly.

"If you don’t mind letting me into your body, why not let me into your room?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s shameless words, Ximen Qingxue’s pretty face instantly flushed red.

Immediately, she balled her small pink fists and started pounding on Li Chen’s chest.

"Hmmph, you rascal, always bullying me..."

"I’m bullying you on purpose!"

Before Ximen Qingxue could finish her sentence, Li Chen interrupted her, acting like a domineering CEO in a romance series, bending down to kiss her lips.

At first, Ximen Qingxue had a bit of a mood, symbolically resisting twice.

But Li Chen held her so tightly that she couldn’t break free, leaving her no choice but to let him "bully" her as he pleased.

Soon enough, Li Chen planted two bright red marks on Ximen Qingxue’s pale neck.

At this moment, Ximen Qingxue was lost in a daze, mesmerizingly entranced, and let out enticing whimpers, almost as if pleading.

"Chen, I want a baby, give me a baby, please?"

For some reason, Ximen Qingxue held a strong obsession with having a baby.

Psychologically speaking, this could be understood.

Since she lost her mother at a young age and lacked maternal love, she had planted a seed of "baby" deep within her heart from an early age.

She wants to repay the maternal love she missed as a child double to her future baby, to fill this void.

Learning from books is shallow, true understanding comes from practice!

...

On this day, Lian Hongshang fell ill, with a back so painful she couldn’t get out of bed.

On this day, Ximen Qingxue also fell sick, worse than Lian Hongshang. She couldn’t even move without pain.

However, both Lian Hongshang and Ximen Qingxue benefited greatly.

Currently, Lian Hongshang had reached the Peak of Golden Core Late Stage.

Ximen Qingxue was even better, showing signs of condensing a "Nascent Soul" within her Dantian.

Reaching this level of cultivation realm indicated that Ximen Qingxue had a foot inside the Nascent Soul threshold.

As long as no mishaps occur subsequently, advancing to Nascent Soul Realm was natural and inevitable.

Ximen Longting, Bai Xueqin, and other elders hearing Ximen Qingxue had touched the Nascent Soul threshold, were overjoyed.

The disciples of Dragon Ascending Valley admired and even worshipped her.

With stunning beauty and excellent talent, it’s like being showered with heaven’s everlasting favor. Compared to her, one was just a firefly against the shining sun and moon.

Can’t compare, can’t compare indeed!

In response, Ximen Qingxue was equally thrilled.

Moreover, with her intelligence, she vaguely guessed the reason behind it.

However, thinking back to the embarrassing event that day made her pretty face feel like it was on fire, burning hot.

Hmmph hmmph hmmph, that rascal, rascal, rascal!

After staying at Dragon Ascending Valley for five or six days, Li Chen decided to set off for the Azure Dragon Tribe in the Barbaric land.

Ximen Qingxue and Lian Hongshang naturally followed him.

Ximen Longting, knowing Li Chen’s grand ambitions, didn’t try to hold him back.

After seeing Li Chen off, he instinctively lifted his head to look at the sky, noticing the changing weather, hinting at an incoming sky change.

"Looks like the Jiuzhou is going to change!"

"Brother, do you truly believe Li Chen will be the one to break the world’s shackles after Emperor Yu?"

Bai Xueqin also looked up to the sky, casually asking.

Ximen Longting pondered for a moment and said, "Who can say for certain what the future holds? But from various signs, Li Chen’s future is immensely promising. He might indeed become the next Emperor Yu!"

Bai Xueqin stared at Ximen Longting’s profile, remaining silent, just nodding heavily like a chick pecking grains.

"Brother, the sky’s changing, let’s go back!"
