242: Chapter 242 Rapid Progress

"Hmph, you lecher!"

Empress Mi Qianxi's soft and charming voice was as melodious as an oriole in the valley, and as crisp and moving as a babbling brook, laced with a faint, elusive allure that made one's heart yearn.

"Haha, I'm leaving soon, aren't I? Naturally, I have to satisfy you well before I go!"

Ye Xuan's lips curled up, revealing an amused expression: "Besides, won't a certain little empress miss me in the future?"

"Hmph, Pretty Boy! You are such a pervert!"

Ever since Empress Mi Qianxi switched to cultivating the Divine Luck Deification Art, her cultivation had progressed by leaps and bounds.

Especially after annexing half the territory of the Wanshen Sect, her cultivation had soared all the way to the seventh level of the Heaven Profound Realm.

Even Ye Xuan was secretly amazed by such terrifying cultivation speed.

If it weren't for the fact that he possessed various mysterious and powerful divine physiques, he might not have been able to handle her!

"Thump..."

Just then, a soft knock on the door suddenly came, followed by Lin Qingzhu's soft, cute, and slightly jealous voice entering the palace hall: "Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, why haven't you gotten up yet?"

Hearing Lin Qingzhu's voice, a faint blush immediately appeared on Empress Mi Qianxi's pretty face, and her beautiful eyes swirled with endless charm.

She glared fiercely at Ye Xuan and said coquettishly: "Ye Xuan, hurry up and take your good niece away; don't let her come in!"

Apparently, Empress Mi Qianxi didn't seem to want to meet this cute yet somewhat ferocious Lin Qingzhu.

"Hehe, got it, Empress Mi Qianxi. I'll head out first then; I'll definitely come back to visit you in a while!"

Ye Xuan responded with a smile while quickly getting dressed and leaving.

Ye Xuan slowly walked to Empress Mi Qianxi's side, gently pulled her into his arms, gave her a warm hug, and after leaving a deep kiss on her smooth, delicate forehead, which was like mutton-fat jade, he turned and left resolutely.

"You heartless guy!"

Empress Mi Qianxi watched Ye Xuan's receding figure, unable to help but mutter to herself in reproach.

Accompanied by a slight sound of the door opening, "Creeeak~"

Ye Xuan pushed open the palace door. The sight before him surprised him; Lin Qingzhu was standing there anxiously, looking like she had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Lin Qingzhu saw Ye Xuan, she immediately ran over like a happy little deer and hugged him tightly.

Then, she circled around Ye Xuan, sniffing left and right, as if searching for some clues.

"Qingzhu, what are you doing? Why are you acting like a puppy!"

Looking at Lin Qingzhu's cute and playful behavior, Ye Xuan shook his head helplessly and said with a smile.

"Hmph! You must have been up to no good behind my back again! Tell me, where is that vixen? I want to settle the score with her in person!" Lin Qingzhu pouted, her face full of jealousy, and her chest even heaved slightly with anger.

"What vixen? She is my Dao companion." Ye Xuan reached out, dotingly pinched Lin Qingzhu's puffed-up cheeks, and explained softly.

"Hmph, I won't acknowledge it!"

Lin Qingzhu remained unrelenting and turned her head away in a huff.

Lin Qingzhu's voice was loud and clear, as if she were intentionally letting Empress Mi Qianxi inside the palace hear her.

"Hmph, I'll let it slide this time; I won't lower myself to the level of a little girl!"

Hearing Lin Qingzhu's words, Empress Mi Qianxi inside the palace did not get angry; instead, a faint, barely perceptible smile appeared on her pretty face.

After all, she was the beneficiary of this confrontation; Lin Qingzhu hadn't gained anything at all!

"Alright, Qingzhu, stop making a fuss, let's go!"

Ye Xuan was quick-witted and grabbed the milk-ferocious Lin Qingzhu, who seemed impulsively about to rush into Empress Mi Qianxi's palace.

Subsequently, he took the unwilling Lin Qingzhu and left the Great Chu palace together, speeding towards the Great Qin Dynasty.

Above the nine heavens, amidst the swirling clouds and mist, Ye Xuan piloted the dunkong shuttle as it wove through the clouds.

Strong gale winds blew against his snow-white robes, making a hunting sound.

Standing at the stern of the flying boat, Lin Qingzhu wore a pink glazed fairy dress, looking like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

At this moment, she was pouting her red, cherry-like lips, with the corners of her mouth turned up high; she was clearly still sulking.

Her exquisite and flawless little face was puffed up with anger, making her extremely cute, stirring feelings of affection and an urge to reach out and pinch it gently.

"Haha, Qingzhu, why have you been so reticent along the way?" Ye Xuan walked to Lin Qingzhu's side with light steps and asked softly.

"Hmph."

Lin Qingzhu's petite, exquisite, and fairy-like body slowly turned around, facing away from Ye Xuan, as if she didn't want to pay him any mind.

"Little Qingzhu, don't be so childish!" Ye Xuan's lips curled up, revealing a doting smile. He stretched out his arm, carefully wrapped it around Lin Qingzhu's slender waist, which could be spanned by a single hand, and gently pulled her warm body into his arms.

"Hmph, Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, why do you like that vixen? Is she bigger than mine?"

Lin Qingzhu struggled slightly at first, but when she felt Ye Xuan's solid and warm embrace, her body gradually relaxed and stopped resisting. She snuggled quietly in Ye Xuan's arms, enjoying this tranquility and peace of mind.

"Uh..."

"Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan, could you bestow another drop of immortal milk nectar upon Qingzhu? Qingzhu wants to improve her cultivation, then defeat that Murong Liyue, become the Saintess, enter the Firmament Immortal Realm, receive the baptism, and seek the perfection of the Nine Profound Exquisite Physique."

Lin Qingzhu suddenly turned around, her slender jade hands also taking the initiative to wrap around Ye Xuan's waist and back.

Her beautiful, moving eyes stared straight at Ye Xuan, filled with reliance and trust in him, even clearly reflecting Ye Xuan's figure.

"Alright, with your Junior Martial Uncle Ye Xuan here, I will definitely help you defeat that Little Fatty Murong!"

Looking at the beautiful and refined Lin Qingzhu before him, Ye Xuan's heart was filled with tenderness, and he agreed without hesitation.

Ye Xuan muttered softly, then reached into his bosom and took out a drop of crystal-clear immortal milk nectar that exuded a rich fragrance.

He carefully poured this precious drop of immortal milk nectar into Lin Qingzhu's cherry-like, delicate pink lips.

In an instant, a low and slight buzzing sound was heard.

Lin Qingzhu's body, which had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly began to emit circles of hazy and mysterious aura. This aura lingered around her like clouds and mist, and gradually condensed into dazzling rays of light.

Under the catalysis of the powerful medicinal properties of the immortal milk nectar, the true essence within Lin Qingzhu's body surged wildly, rushing endlessly like surging waves.

Her cultivation also progressed by leaps and bounds, rapidly rising from the original second level of the Heaven Profound Realm to the third level of the Heaven Profound Realm, just one step away from breaking through to the fourth level.
