232: My junior sister understands me best!

Yao Delong had originally intended to speak up and ask her to stay; after all, Liu Rumei was someone close to him.

However, before the words could leave his lips, the soft flesh at his waist was lightly pinched by a cool, jade-like hand. The force was not great, yet it carried an unmistakable note of warning.

He turned his head and met Lin Qingxue's cold eyes, which appeared calm on the surface but concealed a trace of stubbornness deep within.

Yao Delong understood in his heart. His Junior Sister had a temperament as cold as snow; she appeared to neither contend nor fight for anything, but once she had set her heart on him, that possessiveness and protective instinct were like magma beneath an ice sheet—fiery and steadfast.

Although she had not interrogated Liu Rumei and had displayed a magnanimous attitude, it was clear she preferred to be alone with him at this moment.

"Very well," Yao Delong took the opportunity to change his words and said gently to Liu Rumei, "Rumei, take care on your way. Strive to achieve your Golden Core Breakthrough soon."

"Mm!" Liu Rumei smiled sweetly, took one last deep look at Yao Delong, and then transformed into a stream of light, flying toward Heavenly Sword Peak.

Once Liu Rumei's figure had completely vanished into the night, only Yao Delong and Lin Qingxue remained in the courtyard.

The moonlight was like water, the spiritual flowers were fragrant, and the atmosphere instantly turned romantic and ambiguous.

Yao Delong turned around with a mischievous smirk on his face, his burning gaze fixed on Lin Qingxue's exquisitely beautiful profile: "Junior Sister, now that you have achieved your Nascent Soul Breakthrough, your cultivation is stable, and your aura is harmonious... shouldn't you help your Senior Brother 'break through' as well?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "break through," the heat in his eyes almost enough to melt a person.

How could Lin Qingxue not understand his meaning? Her cold, pretty face instantly flushed with two patches of crimson that spread all the way to her ears.

She gave Yao Delong a charming roll of her eyes; that look, a mix of coldness and shyness, was enough to make any man's heart race.

She let out a soft huff, her voice carrying a trace of imperceptible trembling: "Hmph... I knew you were up to no good... Let's go, Senior Brother."

"Haha, those who know me are my Junior Sister!" Yao Delong laughed aloud, unable to hold back any longer.

He stretched out his strong arms and swept Lin Qingxue's light and soft body up into his arms, his movements domineering and full of possessiveness.

"Ah!" Lin Qingxue exclaimed, subconsciously wrapping her arms around Yao Delong's neck. She buried her burning cheeks against his solid chest, feeling his powerful heartbeat and scorching body temperature, and the last shred of reserve in her heart melted away like spring water.

Yao Delong carried the beauty and strode toward his quiet room and Secret Chamber.

The stone door slammed shut, cutting off everything from the outside world.

Inside the Secret Chamber, a night-luminescent pearl emitted a soft glow. The dry wood and raging fire were instantly ignited. The long-suppressed longing and affection erupted like a volcano.

Clothes fell like butterflies, and two young, powerful bodies held each other tightly.

The Cultivation Technique of Lin Qingxue and Yao Delong were naturally complementary in Yin and Yang. Now, under the Fusion of their passion, a wondrous resonance was produced.

The auras of ice and fire intertwined, entangled, and fused within the Secret Chamber.

Through the System, Yao Delong guided the two distinct yet perfectly compatible forces to circulate repeatedly within their bodies.

He could clearly feel a force of extreme cold Origin, astonishingly pure yet sharp due to the newly conceived Nascent Soul, flowing endlessly from Lin Qingxue's Dantian into Yao Delong's Qi Sea!

— This was exactly her newly formed icy Nascent Soul primal yin power!

At this moment, the vast and boundless Blazing Sun True Qi within Yao Delong seemed to have encountered both a fated rival and the perfect Dao Companion!

The violent and tyrannical Pure Yang supreme force and the razor-sharp extreme cold Origin force, after fierce confrontation and tempering within Yao Delong's Meridians, finally achieved a state of ultimate "unity of opposites"!

Every time the two Origins successfully merged even a little, it was as if a miniature creation of Chaos had been triggered within Yao Delong's body!

It brought not only a slight increase in power, but also an unprecedented test for his Physical Body and Meridians, as well as a deeper consolidation of his Realm Foundation!

He greedily absorbed that pure Ice Soul Mysterious Yin power, feeling his own True Qi become more pure and condensed under the Yin-Yang Harmony. Within his Dantian Qi Sea, the light of that Golden Core became increasingly radiant, faintly pulsing with the urge to break out of its cocoon and transform into a Nascent Soul!

At the same time, his vigorous Blazing Sun True Qi also nourished Lin Qingxue in return, helping her organize and stabilize her newly achieved Nascent Soul Realm, polishing that sharp Sword Intent until it became more harmonious and introverted.

Their auras merged like rotating Yin-Yang twin fish, exploring the profound mysteries of life and the Dao path together within that wondrous Dao Realm.

When the first ray of morning light pierced through the gap in the dome of the Secret Chamber, the turbulent torrent of spiritual power within the room finally returned to a vast calm.

Yao Delong held the beauty in his arms, her body drenched in fragrant sweat and trembling slightly, feeling the surging power within his body and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

In his Sea of Consciousness, the cold voice of the System rang out at the right moment:

"Ding! Detected that the host and the target, Lin Qingxue, have completed deep Yin-Yang Harmony!"

"Target's Cultivation Technique compatibility with host: Extremely high!"

"Both Origins complement each other, Yin and Yang have fused, and both Origins have significantly strengthened!"

"Reward: yin-yang value +50 points! Current yin-yang value: 110 points!"

"50 points!" Yao Delong was delighted.

Although the direct cultivation growth from Dual Cultivation had become negligible as his cultivation reached the Golden Core Perfection Peak, these 50 points of yin-yang value were real, hard currency!

He looked down at Lin Qingxue, who was curled up in his arms like a lazy kitten.

After a night of Dual Cultivation, her aura, which had been slightly floating due to her recent Breakthrough, had completely stabilized. Her Early Nascent Soul Stage Realm had become rock-solid, and her skin was even more lustrous and translucent, emitting a faint glow. Her cold temperament was now added with a touch of charming allure after being nourished, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

"Junior Sister..." Yao Delong planted a kiss on her smooth forehead.

Lin Qingxue's long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were shimmering with water, carrying the haze of just waking up and the lingering passion of last night.

Looking at Yao Delong's handsome face so close by, she recalled the madness of last night, her face flushed red again, and she gave a soft "Mm," burying her head deeper.

The two cherished the moment for a while before Lin Qingxue struggled to get up.

Her movements carried a hint of the delicate weakness of one who had just experienced the rain and dew, but her eyes had returned to clarity: "Senior Brother, I must go to Jinxin Peak to find Senior Sister Han Yun. The opening of the Secret Realm is imminent; this matter should be done sooner rather than later."

"Alright, thank you for your hard work, Junior Sister." Yao Delong nodded and also got up to dress. What he lacked most right now was time.

Lin Qingxue moved efficiently, quickly tidying her appearance and returning to her cold, unworldly Fairy appearance, though there was a bit more moving tenderness between her brows and eyes.

She took one last deep look at Yao Delong, said nothing more, and transformed into a cold sword light, breaking through the air and heading straight toward Jinxin Peak.

"Burial God Abyss... Moyang Sect... Xiao Chen..." He whispered these names, a cold light flickering in his eyes.

The Secret Realm was fraught with danger; he had to seize the last remaining time to boost his combat power as much as possible!

"Medicinal Pill!" He immediately thought of the key.

As his cultivation improved, the Medicinal Pills he had previously stored for healing and recovering strength had greatly diminished in effectiveness; they would have limited use in battles at the Nascent Soul level.

He urgently needed higher-grade Medicinal Pills, especially Nascent Soul-level Spirit Pills that could instantly boost combat power or save his life at critical moments!

"Go to the Treasure Pavilion!" Yao Delong hesitated no longer. His figure moved, transforming into a blazing stream of light, and he sped toward the Treasure Pavilion in the core area of the Yin Yang Sect.
