CHAPTER 1578: CHAPTER 1573: YOU’RE NOT AFRAID ANYWAY (SECOND UPDATE)

"It’s a pity that heaven did not treat her kindly. Her talent for martial cultivation was not considered outstanding when she was young. Even in the small Xue Family, she wasn’t among the best. However, she was diligent and often practiced martial arts to the point of fainting. Her daily practice time was three to four times that of other children her age in the Xue Family. It is said that her nearly insane training approach lasted for as long as nineteen years."

"Heaven rewards those who are determined. Perhaps because she worked hard enough, at the age of twenty-seven, she found an opportunity for herself, seemingly a legacy from a Tao Realm martial cultivator."

"Afterwards, her martial cultivation speed increased, her strength continuously improved, and in thirty years, she became the strongest person in the Xue Family, allowing her mother to live a good life."

"Later, she went to the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect, passed through numerous evaluations, and became a disciple of the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect. But in the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect, it wasn’t easy for her at the beginning since the legacy she received was just an ordinary Tao Realm legacy. It might stand out in the Xue Family, but it was nothing in the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect."

"But Xue Hanyue was truly resilient. Without relying on anyone, a girl at the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect, working hard, making progress, exerting herself, replacing lack of talent with time, through her persistence and harshness on herself, she managed to rise from an Outer Sect Disciple to a True Disciple in a hundred years."

"Later, she defeated dozens of fellow True Disciples and obtained the legacy of the sect leader of the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect, becoming the new sect leader of the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect."

"From then on, she truly soared. She led the Heavenly Snow Spirit Sect to considerable development over a few hundred years, and she herself never relaxed. Her attitude towards martial arts cultivation was always one of desperation and effort from beginning to end."

"Hundreds of years ago, she participated in the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion’s evaluation, which was held in a secret realm. With her strength and talent at the time, it was absolutely impossible for her to achieve a good rank or successfully enter the Divine Pavilion."

"Yet, she fought for her life in the secret realm, hunted a super top-level Divine Beast with a purity of bloodline of fifteen percent as if seeking death, and miraculously experienced life and death to succeed. She also absorbed the Essence Blood of that super top-level Divine Beast, thereby achieving a reversal to become one of the top three in the secret realm evaluation, successfully entering the Xuanshi Divine Pavilion."

"Moreover, because she absorbed the Essence Blood of that super top-level Divine Beast, she further improved her talent for martial cultivation, allowing her to achieve good results in the subsequent Eliminate Red evaluation. It caught the eye of the Xuanyin Vein Master, who accepted her as a Closed-door Disciple."

"And now, even though she is ranked ninth on the Mystic List, her day-to-day training time remains formidable, averaging around twenty hours a day. It is hard to find another woman in the entire Xuanshi Divine Pavilion who works as hard as she does."

...

Zhao Lingxi’s face was already full of admiration as she spoke.

Su Chen remained silent.

His impression of Xue Hanyue changed a lot.

"Brother Su, the reason I’m saying so many good things about her is because I admire her," Zhao Lingxi said. "Just now, after I learned about her background and information, I was truly shocked. She really relied on her own efforts, pride, perseverance, and fighting spirit to change her fate against the odds, especially as a girl, it’s been really difficult for her to get where she is today."

Su Chen nodded.

"Alright, let’s stop talking about her. Brother Su, help me cut the cake." Zhao Lingxi said expectantly and happily.

In the Great Luo Heaven, birthdays also have cakes, but the materials for the cakes differ from those on Earth.

For instance, Zhao Lingxi’s cake is extremely extravagant, made with a million-year-old Stone Milk Essence, hundreds of thousands of years-old Purple Ebony Tree Oil, Sakura Phoenix Bird Egg, and so on...

In any case, Zhao Lingxi’s cake in the Great Luo Heaven is something even a power of the caliber of the First City would find difficult to present, except for the Four Great Divine Pavilions.

After Su Chen cut the cake, Zhao Lingxi personally distributed it to everyone.

Su Chen, of course, received the largest piece.

As for others in the Heavenly Saint Area, a few people received a small piece of cake, but not including Zhuge Wuyan, Su Shuizhe, Wu Jue, and Yang Gui, who were like prisoners in solitary confinement.

After distributing the cake, Zhao Lingxi disregarded the others’ gazes and directly walked to Su Chen’s side, wrapping her arms around his and coquettishly saying, "Brother Su, feed me."

Then, under the envious and jealous gazes of everyone in the main hall that could drive one nearly insane, Su Chen and Zhao Lingxi sweetly and intimately ate cake.

They truly shared a bite-for-bite.

Even more excessive was that towards the end of the birthday banquet, Zhao Lingxi, in front of everyone, pulled Su Chen and said, "Brother Su, come with me to my place, I have something to tell you."

This was an invitation to Su Chen to her boudoir.

For a moment, those geniuses in the main hall nearly gritted their teeth to the point of breaking.

The goddess they adored invited a man to her boudoir right in front of them!!!

What kind of blow is this?

If it weren’t for Zhao Lingxi’s terrifying level of deterrence, by then, people like Yoo Yan might not have been able to control their murderous intent towards Su Chen.

Under the unmoving and piercing gazes of everyone, they walked out of the main hall.

After exiting the main hall, Su Chen tapped Zhao Lingxi’s little head: "You little girl, you really know how to attract resentment for me!"

"Hehe, Brother Su, you’re not afraid. Even if they were combined, they wouldn’t be a match for a single finger of Brother Su," Zhao Lingxi said indifferently, being fully aware of Su Chen’s strength.

After that, the two strolled together like a couple, heading towards Spirit Rhinoceros Peak where Zhao Lingxi resided.

That night.

Su Chen stayed on Spirit Rhinoceros Peak.

Yes, he was the first man in history to lodge at Spirit Rhinoceros Peak!

That night, countless geniuses in the entire Xuanshi Divine Pavilion couldn’t sleep, their minds restless, as they imagined scenes of their goddess Zhao Lingxi under Su Chen.

In fact.

That night, Su Chen did indeed sleep in Zhao Lingxi’s boudoir. Moreover, he shared the same bed with Zhao Lingxi.

However, they didn’t take the final step. Of course, aside from the last step, everything else was done.

It wasn’t that Su Chen was acting coy; rather, Zhao Lingxi had reached the Half-Step Great Dao Realm. Taking her first time at this moment would have certain effects on her subsequent cultivation, at least delaying her entry into the Great Dao Realm by one or two years.

So he decided to wait until Zhao Lingxi entered the Great Dao Realm to take her, anyway, it wouldn’t be long. Yes, with Zhao Lingxi’s current talent, especially since the Vein Cleansing was extremely successful, her talent was quite formidable, so it was estimated that within at most half a year, Zhao Lingxi could enter the Great Dao Realm.
