The sunlight poured down, filling the room with golden radiance, and the warm sun dispelled the night’s chill.
With the bright light, Chen Mo lowered his head to look at the woman in his arms.
Lin Jingzhu rested on his arm, her two snowy long legs wrapped around him, clinging tightly like a koala bear not letting go.
Why do the heroines always like to sneak into my bed?
Chen Mo couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
Why is she not wearing any clothes?!
Lin Jingzhu’s martial robe was nowhere to be seen, and she was wearing only a white silk bellyband, her cold white skin somewhat dazzling in the sunlight, and her pretty face showing a faint blush.
Her beauty was rich and her intent profound, she was modest yet genuine, her skin fair and delicate, her body well-proportioned and tight, without a trace of extra flesh.
And Chen Mo’s sinful hand reached into the bellyband, gently grasping...
Although not voluptuous, it was very upright.
At this moment, Lin Jingzhu’s eyelashes trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes.
She looked up at Chen Mo, her gaze blank, and mumbled drowsily:
"Mr. Chen? What time is it now?"
Chen Mo’s mouth twitched, "Uh... it should be just past 5 a.m."
"Oh, it’s still early then, let’s sleep a bit longer."
Lin Jingzhu closed her eyes, snuggling up to Chen Mo.
Suddenly, her body stiffened suddenly, as if realizing something.
She raised her head again, their eyes met.
Lin Jingzhu snapped back to her senses and exclaimed, wrapping herself in the blanket and shrinking into a corner, stuttering:
"Why, why are you in my room? Where are my clothes?!"
Could it be that he did something indecent to her?
Chen Mo reluctantly said: "Last night you were almost frozen to death by the chill toxin, I was worried, so I kept watch beside you, who knew you’d snuggle up to me in your birthday suit in the middle of the night..."
Lin Jingzhu’s memories gradually returned, recalling the events of yesterday.
Hengjiang Ridge, mountain demons, man-eating ancient trees... Images flashed before her eyes, and before she completely lost consciousness, she faintly sensed a vital energy protecting her heart vessel.
"My entire True Yuan was devoured by that white fog, without the suppression of Nine Revolutions Ice Soul Technique, once the chill toxin erupted it would be certain death... It seems Mr. Chen was telling the truth; he really did save me."
"As for the clothes..."
Last night she was half asleep, in a blur, she felt a furnace beside her and couldn’t help but lean over.
The mix of cold and heat, steam rising, her clothes soaked by the moisture and clinging to her uncomfortable body, so she simply took them off cleanly.
Never would she have imagined, this "furnace" turned out to be Mr. Chen...
Lin Jingzhu’s pretty face flushed red, biting her lip, "That, that doesn’t mean you can just touch me..."
The feel of that large hand seemed to linger, leaving her heart fluttering and overwhelmed with embarrassment.
Regardless of her carefree personality, she was still an unmarried maiden, how could she have ever been so intimately close to a man?
"...Sorry, it’s a habit."
Chen Mo’s expression was slightly awkward.
It was all Gu Manzhi’s fault, always feeding him large pomelos, causing him not to be able to sleep without holding onto something.
The two fell into silence.
The air was quiet, so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Lin Jingzhu clenched the bedding with her fingers, murmured in a low voice: "Mr. Chen, please go out first, I’ll change my clothes..."
Chen Mo came to his senses and walked out of the room.
Lin Jingzhu nestled in the corner with the blanket, her forehead resting on her knees, remaining motionless for a long time.
Moments later, wisps of white vapor rose above her head...
Chen Mo returned to the adjacent room.
Recalling the cold white body as lustrous as cream, he couldn’t help but feel his thoughts run wild.
That delicate and cool touch was very special, like jade bone and icy muscles, but when warmed by body temperature it had a hint of scorching heat, truly like ice and fire...
"Calm down, she’s the niece of the Empress."
Chen Mo shook his head to cast aside the distractions.
He introspected his inner being, sensing the changes in his body.
Under the transformation of the "Xuantian Canglong Transformation," muscles and bones were repositioned, aligning more with a Martial Artist’s power exertion, veins were broadened, and True Yuan surged through the channels without any stagnation.
Moreover, seven major acupoints in his body had undergone changes.
They are: Qi Sea, Guanyuan Acupoint, Central Chest Point, Wind Pool, Cervical Spine, Spiritual Navel, and Labor Palace Acupoint.
With the breakthrough of the Cultivation Technique, the Labor Palace and Wind Pool acupoints were opened, connected to the surrounding qi channels, acting as hubs, and when True Yuan passed through, it would be amplified several times over!
Two acupoints meant four times the power!
Facing Jue Ling again, with just his bear-like physique, he probably couldn’t even withstand one of his slashes!
"This is just after opening two acupoints, how strong will it become if all seven major acupoints are opened?"
"Moreover, it seems that amplifying True Yuan is not the true purpose of Azure Dragon Metamorphosis..."
Within the Spirit Platform, the Golden Body Miniature sits cross-legged, with galaxies revolving behind it.
Among them, seven stars faintly form a dragon shape, with the stars Kui Wood and Di Earth shining brightly, the shimmering silver starlight sprinkling on the miniature, giving it an almost sacred aura as if seated in the frosty heavens.
In the faintness, it seems that something is subtly changing.
"Tsk, this trip was a full harvest, indeed there is nothing more refreshing than Demon Slaying!"
Chen Mo pinched his chin, musing: "However, You Ji, mentioned by Jue Ling before his death, is a troublesome character..."
In the original plot, the Demon Lord from Desolate Domain is one of the big BOSSes just behind Consort Yu.
And You Ji, as the personal attendant of the Demon Lord, is far more powerful and cunning than Demon Creatures like Jue Ling.
"I’ll have to be more cautious in the future to avoid unexpected pitfalls."
"In the end, I still need to quickly increase my strength, if I want to reach fourth-rank, it would be best to obtain a fragment of the Mixed Element Body Refining Technique..."
At this moment, the room door was knocked.
Chen Mo walked over to open the door.
Lin Jingzhu was already neatly dressed, standing outside the door with her head lowered.
