Time for Two, Clear Version

Jiang Lanzhi slept soundly, especially while lying in Xiao Fan's arms, feeling the scent that captivated her, and instinctively snuggling into his embrace.

Her pair of fair, lotus-root-like arms naturally wrapped around Xiao Fan.

With a slight furrow in her delicate brows, her peach blossom eyes slowly opened, and what came into view was Xiao Fan's face.

He was smiling as he looked at her, and Jiang Lanzhi's haggard, pretty face showed a hint of a smile; her first reaction upon seeing Xiao Fan was joy.

She actively hugged him tighter, her eyes moist as she said, "It's good that you're alright, it's good."

Unable to suppress the affection in her heart, Jiang Lanzhi only wanted to hold him tightly.

After a long while, she came to her senses and realized they had slept together, and instantly her face burned crimson with shyness.

But she felt no discomfort; having almost been separated forever, she cherished this opportunity to be together even more.

Xiao Fan also held her tightly, feeling her endless affection, his heart filled with emotion.

Their eyes met; after [One Heart, One Body], they had a feeling of spiritual connection, a perfect understanding between them.

Xiao Fan spoke first, sighing somewhat, "Why did you do it? To actually perform such a technique."

"If it failed, you would also die. Aren't you afraid of death?"

Jiang Lanzhi smiled and said, "You're not afraid, so how could I be afraid? At worst, we'll go together. I won't let you be alone again."

Xiao Fan looked puzzled and said, "What do you mean by 'again'?"

He knew the answer but still had to ask.

Jiang Lanzhi had even given up her life, so she would no longer hide anything from Xiao Fan. She voluntarily revealed the fact that she was a Rebirth.

"Ah! Rebirth?"

"Hmph, hmph, yes, I've undergone Rebirth. I'm the future Empress of Unfeeling. Marrying you is a bargain for you, so you mustn't let me down."

Jiang Lanzhi hummed, without any burden.

But Xiao Fan knew that deep down, she actually felt very insecure.

He looked at Jiang Lanzhi with firm eyes, letting her feel his thoughts.

"I don't care what Empress you are. I only know that you, Jiang Lan Zhi, are the person destined for me."

"I don't care about anything else."

Jiang Lanzhi revealed an incomparably brilliant smile; she had gotten the answer she wanted.

"Your wound, is it alright?" Jiang Lanzhi's jade hand rested on Xiao Fan's chest as she asked with concern.

Xiao Fan rubbed her little head and smiled, "Silly woman, what about your own wound? Aren't you going to check it?"

Jiang Lanzhi froze, thinking of some strange things, and her face instantly turned red.

She slowly lifted the ice silk jade silkworm quilt, lowered her head to look at her chest, her clothes were perfectly worn, and with a sweep of her Divine Sense, there was no trace of a wound inside.

She had only focused on casting the spell; it seemed she hadn't tidied her clothes then.

Thinking of this, she was so ashamed she wished she could find a hole to hide in. Although they were already engaged, such a thing happening still made her very shy.

"Ah, did you see anything?"

She exclaimed, pulling the quilt directly over her head, attempting to conceal her panic.

"What? You were willing to give up your life, what does it matter if I see you?"

"Pervert! Is that the same thing? These are clearly two different matters!" Jiang Lanzhi retorted.

Xiao Fan pressed his advantage and also slipped under the covers.

In the dim environment, Jiang Lanzhi's face was flushed with a rosy hue, and her breath was like orchids.

Xiao Fan pressed his forehead against hers, their heavy, hot breaths raising the temperature, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat intimate and ambiguous.

Their eyes met. Of course, Jiang Lanzhi was no match for him. The unique purity of a young girl made her shy, and she averted her eyes with a blushing face.

Xiao Fan's gaze was very aggressive, and Jiang Lanzhi was no match for it at all.

She could only retort with words, "What are you looking at? You're fine now, hurry up and get up."

She said this, but her conviction wasn't very strong.

Xiao Fan didn't give her a chance.

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Jiang Lanzhi's slender waist, then lifted the quilt. The light streamed in, further deepening her shyness.

"Stay with me here today, okay?" Xiao Fan gently lifted her chin, turning her pretty face towards him, but the purity of a young girl always made one nervous.

Jiang Lanzhi's eyes darted away. She didn't want to refuse, only nodding gently, speaking in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz:

"Mm."

If life itself could be given up, were these external things more important than life?

Xiao Fan gently caressed her jade-like face, tucking the strands of dark hair that fell beside her face gently behind her ear. Their eyes met, Jiang Lanzhi's delicate body trembled slightly, and she voluntarily closed her peach blossom eyes.

...

...

Jiang Lanzhi rested her head on Xiao Fan's arm, her soft, lotus-root-like arm beneath the silkworm quilt gently wrapped around him.

Her beautiful hair was somewhat disheveled on her delicate face, and beads of sweat on her cheeks held the dark strands, clinging tightly to her jade-like skin, curving enchantingly.

Jiang Lanzhi leaned closer to him with longing, allowing this man to possess everything of hers, from her body to her Soul.

Xiao Fan could also feel that Jiang Lanzhi's affection for him had almost reached its peak.

After a long while, Xiao Fan slowly spoke:

"You said you'd be the Empress of Unfeeling in the future, right?"

Jiang Lanzhi hummed, hugging him even tighter as she said, "That's right. You're getting a bargain, kid."

Xiao Fan gently embraced her, lightly kissing her dark hair, and said, "Given how we are now, can you still be unfeeling?"

Jiang Lanzhi said without hesitation, "Unfeeling was a forced choice; falling in love is what my heart desires. Whoever wants to be that Empress of Unfeeling can be her, I'm not doing it anymore."

Xiao Fan heard this and chuckled, realizing that the Empress of Unfeeling was actually this kind of person.

Jiang Lanzhi thought Xiao Fan was worried about her future path of Cultivation after today's events, which was why he asked. To alleviate his concerns, Jiang Lanzhi said:

"Under [One Heart, One Body], my strength is connected to yours. The stronger you get, the stronger I get."

"So, you need to Cultivate well, and let me lie back and win," she said with a giggle.

Actually, [One Heart, One Body] is reciprocal; between the subordinate and the master, no matter who becomes stronger, that strength will be transferred to the other.

In other words, if Jiang Lanzhi becomes stronger, Xiao Fan's strength will also increase.

Although Jiang Lanzhi said this, she was thinking in her heart, 'I need to Cultivate well and bring this young man with me to eternal life, to spend this life together.'

Xiao Fan rubbed her little head and said:

"Then try it. How much strength do you actually have now?"

"Alright," Jiang Lanzhi said with a smile.

She casually released a burst of Qi, and a fierce fluctuation emanated from her jade-like body.

Despite being in the Nascent Soul Realm, she erupted with strength comparable to the Spirit Transformation Stage - Late Phase, and this was not even her limit. She could feel that this strength could even contend with a Cultivator in the Void Refining Late Stage.

"This is too strong."

Previously, in the Nascent Soul Stage - Early Phase, she could easily defeat a Spirit Transformation Stage - Middle Phase and contend with a Spirit Transformation Stage - Late Phase, which was her limit.

She never expected that after the [One Heart, One Body] union, her strength would experience an explosive growth.

Jiang Lanzhi was incredibly surprised. She knew Xiao Fan's strength was formidable, but she didn't know it could be this powerful.

According to the description of [One Heart, One Body], the strength gap between the subordinate and the master is one major Realm, to prevent backlash.

Jiang Lanzhi vaguely understood that Xiao Fan's strength had reached an inconceivable level. Her ability to easily defeat Void Refining proved that Xiao Fan could sweep through Body Integration!

"You lied to me!" Jiang Lanzhi's eyes welled up with tears, and she said in a trembling voice.

Oh no!

She wouldn't think that I hid my strength in the Demonic Caves and lied to her, would she?
