Zhuo Hongyi gave a bewitching, coquettish smile, her beautiful eyes gazing at Han Lie with an urgent sense of anticipation.

Compared to the usual heroic, sharp, and imposing Zhuo Hongyi—the Captain of the Vermilion Bird Squad of the Law Enforcement Hall—she was like a completely different person.

Han Lie had indeed heard a certain saying before. It was said that whether a woman is proper or not has nothing to do with her personality. Even a lady who usually appears quiet, gentle, and reserved can display a level of wantonness and initiative in private with someone she likes that could completely refresh your understanding of her.

Therefore, Zhuo Hongyi’s current display of such impatience also had an explanation.

Seeing Han Lie dawdling, the impatient Zhuo Hongyi pushed him down onto the bed, preparing to force herself upon him.

Like a turtle in a jar, Han Lie also gave up resistance, letting Zhuo Hongyi have her way with him.

Before this, Han Lie had never imagined that he would have such a day.

This was something that could only happen in a demonic sect like the Heavenly Void Sect. If it were in an orthodox immortal dao sect, even with the blessing of an innate sacred body, the fairies of the immortal dao sects probably wouldn’t act as impatiently as Zhuo Hongyi.

Regardless.

Because of the existence of the Pure Yang Sacred Body, at least for the present Han Lie, it was quite enjoyable.

When Zhuo Hongyi eagerly became one with him, the Yin Yang Demonic Art within Han Lie’s body began to quietly operate, greedily seizing Zhuo Hongyi’s Yin energy.

And without Zhuo Hongyi’s knowledge, the intense Yang energy from Han Lie was also nourishing her in return.

Although the cultivation technique practiced by Zhuo Hongyi was not the Yin Yang Demonic Art, the Pure Yang Sacred Body, for all female cultivators in the world, is equivalent to a perfect tonic pill.

The Yang energy of the Pure Yang Sacred Body not only has beautifying and health-strengthening effects for female cultivators, but that intense yet non-violent abundant Yang energy can also invisibly cause a female cultivator’s cultivation to rise steadily.

This is also why the Pure Yang Sacred Body holds such immense allure for female cultivators in the world.

An unknown amount of time passed until the sky outside darkened.

Zhuo Hongyi, gradually unable to withstand Han Lie’s onslaught, proactively ended this extremely fierce battle.

Zhuo Hongyi’s eyes were dazed, her face flushed red. Satisfied yet feeling incredulous, she said, “Old fellow, your combat prowess is quite unexpectedly impressive.”

Whether in terms of physical constitution or condition, logically speaking, she should have been crushing Han Lie. Yet the reality was that she couldn’t withstand Han Lie’s offensive!

This made Zhuo Hongyi feel incredulous while also satisfying her physiological needs.

Han Lie just chuckled lightly without saying anything.

Just kidding. In this aspect, even Ye Qingxuan hadn’t been able to keep him down, let alone a mere Zhuo Hongyi?

“Actually broke through…?”

Calming his mind, Han Lie just now discovered with surprise that the fierce battle with Zhuo Hongyi had actually directly allowed him to break through from Qi Refining third layer to Qi Refining fourth layer!

The abundance of spiritual energy within his body had increased several times over compared to the third layer!

Clearly, during his last fierce battle with Ye Qingxuan, his cultivation hadn’t shown any noticeable improvement.

“Could it be because of the Yin Yang Demonic Art?”

Aside from this, Han Lie couldn’t think of any other possibility.

After all, the Yin Yang Demonic Art is a top-tier Dual Cultivation technique, not to mention that Han Lie now also has the blessing of the Pure Yang Sacred Body. Therefore, after Dual Cultivating with Zhuo Hongyi and seizing sufficient Yin energy, breaking through directly from the third layer to the fourth layer didn’t seem particularly strange either.

Not only that, Han Lie also discovered that under the nourishment from Zhuo Hongyi’s Yin energy, his emaciated, skeletal body was gradually experiencing a second spring.

The wrinkles on his skin had noticeably reduced quite a bit, and he had gained some fleshiness, not appearing as dry and skinny as before when he seemed like just a skeleton. Only his face still hadn’t changed much.

“Dual cultivating with female cultivators actually has such miraculous effects? Heheh, seems like I need to think of ways to do more of it in the future.”

After tasting the benefits, Han Lie conceived a bold idea.

But he wasn’t in a hurry either.

Currently, his body had only just shown some initial signs of this second spring. To see visible and obvious changes, he estimated he would need to at least break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage. After all, only by breaking through to Foundation Establishment could he increase the lifespan of this mortal flesh body of his.

“Captain Hongyi, This Senior cooperated just now, right? Can This Senior leave now?” Regaining his composure, Han Lie cautiously asked.

Now he was afraid that Zhuo Hongyi, having tasted the benefits, might go back on her word and forcibly detain him here. If that really happened, Han Lie would probably be left wanting to cry but having no tears left.

“Mmm. But before that… I have one condition.” After pondering for a moment, Zhuo Hongyi finally spoke.

“What condition?” Han Lie asked.

“When I come looking for you in the future because I have needs… you are not allowed to refuse.”

If it weren’t for her master’s strict order, having tasted the benefits, Zhuo Hongyi really wanted to lock Han Lie up here and keep him for herself. Because she discovered… that the spiritual energy within her body was actually much more abundant than before they did it.

No wonder Dual Cultivation between men and women is considered heretical by immortal dao sects on the Tianyuan Continent… seems there really is something to it.

Actually… not really.

If one isn’t practicing Dual Cultivation techniques or has some special constitution… and is just engaging in basic physical intimacy… there actually isn’t much effect.

The noticeable improvement in her cultivation was entirely thanks to Han Lie’s Pure Yang Sacred Body.

“Alright.”

With his current strength still weak, Han Lie could only agree to Zhuo Hongyi’s demand. Of course… he currently did need to rapidly improve his cultivation through Dual Cultivation with women.

“If you dare play tricks with me… you should know what will happen.”

“Also… if anyone asks… you are not allowed to mention anything about me. Understood?”

“This Senior must be lost… where is this place? No good… This Senior needs to get back.” Han Lie stood up, pretending not to see Zhuo Hongyi at all, muttering to himself.

“Hahaha.”

Seeing Han Lie so tactful, Zhuo Hongyi opened the door for him.

Initially, Zhuo Hongyi wanted to take Han Lie herself to report back to her master… but upon careful thought, wouldn’t that practically confirm that she was indeed the one who kidnapped Han Lie?

So… after thinking it over, she still decided to let Han Lie return on his own. This could avoid many unnecessary troubles.

Exiting the room, afraid Zhuo Hongyi might change her mind, Han Lie didn’t dare linger too long. He immediately fled this place of trouble at his fastest speed.

Han Lie didn’t return to the Servant Disciple department but went straight back to his small wooden hut at Violet Heaven Palace.

By the time he returned, it was already dawn of the next day. The sky was just beginning to lighten; the sun hadn’t risen yet.

Returning to his hut and lighting a candle, looking around at the familiar layout and furnishings inside, an unprecedented sense of nostalgia and security arose in Han Lie’s heart.

“Still, my own little nest is most comfortable.” Han Lie sighed emotionally.

Although a bit simple, this was, after all, his little nest where he had lived for over a hundred years. If asked what was dearest to Han Lie in this world, it would probably be this small wooden hut.

“Old slave! Come see This Palace Lord at Violet Heaven Palace immediately!”

Just as Han Lie planned to lie down and rest for a while, Ye Qingxuan’s cold voice, brooking no refusal, came from thin air into his ears.
