Ye Qingxuan sat elegantly on her soft, comfortable purple bed, one leg crossed over the other.
Cool moonlight streamed through the window, falling upon her profile. It cast a hazy veil over that breathtakingly beautiful face that seemed to dim heaven and earth itself.
Han Lie’s slightly lowered gaze took in Ye Qingxuan’s smooth, slender jade legs exposed beneath her violet gauze skirt. “Legs worth playing with for years” was the perfect description.
In the past, Ye Qingxuan would have long since gouged out Han Lie’s eyes for such impertinence. But now… it wasn’t necessary anymore.
That night when Han Lie took advantage of her vulnerability, was there any part of her body he hadn’t seen? Making an issue of it now would only make her seem hypocritical.
“Old servant, do you hate This Palace Master very much?” Ye Qingxuan asked out of nowhere.
Han Lie was slightly taken aback, unsure what madness this female demon was experiencing now. She had just been in a murderous rage moments ago; why had she suddenly turned gentle?
“Reporting to Sect Leader, nothing of the sort,” Han Lie promptly replied.
“Is that so?”
Ye Qingxuan’s peerlessly enchanting, soul-stirring eyes stared directly into Han Lie’s gaze, as if trying to pierce through his mind.
“Yes.” This time, Han Lie met Ye Qingxuan’s gaze without evasion. “For these hundred years, the Sect Leader has indeed treated This Senior strictly and punished me many times. But compared to staying in the Servant Department and being bullied and oppressed by my seniors there, I feel it has been much better.”
“This Senior believes that if not for Your Excellency promoting me back then and transferring me here to Violet Heaven Palace to oversee servant affairs here… perhaps…”
“I would have long been beaten to death by my seniors in the Servant Department? How could I have survived until today?”
“People often say serving alongside a ruler is like accompanying a tiger. But compared to Your Excellency’s punishments, the bullying from my Servant Department seniors was far more cruel and dark.”
“In fact, that I can still stand here alive today relies entirely on Your Excellency’s mercy. Otherwise, I would already be a corpse buried deep underground.”
“Even if one day I commit some offense and Your Excellency decides to execute me… at least it would be a swift death.”
Ye Qingxuan remained silent.
Her expression was calm; her beautiful eyes showed little fluctuation, making it impossible to discern her thoughts.
After a long while, Ye Qingxuan parted her vermilion lips lightly. “Enough! Such cloying words make This Palace Master’s skin crawl! If This Palace Master is merciful, then there are no evil people left in this world.”
“However… you old servant certainly know how to speak sweetly.”
“In consideration of your relative honesty this time… This Palace Master permits you… to cross boundaries once more.”
“Sect Leader! Is… is that true?!”
A light sparked in Han Lie’s turbid eyes; his voice trembled with excitement.
Was it possible?
Just consider: was there any possibility… that Dual Cultivating with Ye Qingxuan once could propel his Qi Refining Stage Eighth Layer cultivation straight into Foundation Establishment?
Dual Cultivating with Zhuo Hongyi already produced such remarkable effects; with Ye Qingxuan as a partner—it surely couldn’t be worse than Zhuo Hongyi?
“Do you take This Palace Master for one of you filthy men—full of lies?”
Ye Qingxuan lightly lifted her skirt hem with jade fingers, extending her enticingly plump jade leg, her tone brooking no argument. “But remember one thing: you must maintain your proper status as servant—no overstepping.”
Upon hearing this, Han Lie understood. So Ye Qingxuan preferred taking the dominant position.
“Please rest assured, Sect Leader—This Senior knows my place best.”
Immediately, Han Lie slowly knelt down, cupping Ye Qingxuan’s slender jade legs excitedly. “Sect Leader—you smell so nice.”
Ye Qingxuan supported herself on the bed with jade hands, her body leaning back at a forty-five-degree angle. She closed her eyes, immersing her body and mind completely within Han Lie’s caresses.
Unlike last time, this time Ye Qingxuan remained fully conscious throughout. She felt shame—yet this unparalleled, wondrous sensation made her succumb.
Initially, Ye Qingxuan maintained dominance.
But as the engagement progressed, the Yin Volume within her began circulating alongside the Yang Volume of the Yin Yang Demonic Art within Han Lie.
Under the mutual fusion and complementarity of Yin-Yang energies, coupled with Han Lie’s far fiercer assault compared to their last encounter, Ye Qingxuan began losing ground.
Within her spiritual realm, under the continuous nourishing influx of Yang energy, Ye Qingxuan could clearly perceive her somewhat unstable realm strengthening and consolidating at a visibly rapid pace. This terrifying speed surpassed solo cultivation a hundredfold!
While Ye Qingxuan voraciously absorbed Yang energy like a dragon drinking water, his Pure Yang Sacred Body activated.
Simultaneously, circulating the Yin Yang Demonic Art within continuously drew Yin energy from Ye Qingxuan. Merging internal Yang energy, it finally formed the purest spiritual power.
Vast spiritual power converged into a torrential flow, channeling through his meridians and flesh into his dantian. His aura correspondingly surged layer upon layer!
Pleasurable times are always brief.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed in a fleeting moment.
Disengaging from combat, Ye Qingxuan shed the past three days’ wantonness, resuming her usual aloof, icy demeanor. Her jade hand lightly clenched—vast spiritual power gathered in her palm, distorting the surrounding space intensely!
“It actually… completely stabilized!”
Ye Qingxuan inwardly marveled, feeling considerable astonishment.
She originally thought that even though Han Lie cultivated the Yin Yang Demonic Art, it would still require two or three Dual Cultivation sessions to thoroughly stabilize her realm. The Void Refining Stage, after all, was incomparable to the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages.
Yet the actual effect exceeded expectations!
Regardless—excellent news indeed.
If she continued cultivating at such speed…
“Great Ascension perhaps is not so unreachable after all!”
A glimmer flashed within her beautiful eyes.
Perhaps… it was time to reevaluate Han Lie’s value.
Then, her gaze shifted, landing upon Han Lie’s current state.
Compared to three days ago, he appeared significantly younger again.
His cultivation broke through the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, reaching Qi Refining Perfection!
Merely a step away from Foundation Establishment!
“This old servant also benefited greatly.”
“It seems I needn’t worry whether he can break through to Foundation Establishment within the Lifespan Pill’s limited timeframe.”
