55: Chapter 55 Winning Over Xu Xinyue

Cao Yang returned to the Giant Stone Forest and felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Xu Xinyue walking back and forth anxiously on the ground.

This girl had been keeping watch for Cao Yang all by herself for ten days!

Seeing Cao Yang, Hong Yi hurriedly walked over, her face brimming with a joyful smile as she said happily, "Young Master, congratulations on successfully breaking through to the Immortal King Realm!"

Cao Yang nodded with a smile and responded, "Yes, this Breakthrough went quite smoothly."

He looked at Hong Yi and found that she seemed like an ordinary Mortal at this moment, without any powerful aura fluctuations, yet she made him feel an invisible pressure and threat.

Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart; it seemed the gap between an Immortal King and an Immortal Emperor was indeed massive!

After thinking for a moment, he said to Hong Yi, "Hong Yi, for the next few days, hide in the shadows and protect the safety of Xinyue and me."

Hong Yi immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, Young Master. Please rest assured and leave your safety to me."

Cao Yang nodded and flew toward Xu Xinyue.

When Xu Xinyue saw Cao Yang, the worry that had filled her face instantly vanished, replaced by a brilliant smile. She walked happily toward him.

"Brother Cao, are you okay? You suddenly disappeared and scared me to death!" Because Xu Xinyue's Realm was too low, in her eyes, Cao Yang had seemed to vanish abruptly.

"Xinyue, don't worry, I'm fine," Cao Yang said gently, taking Xu Xinyue's small hand in his.

Xu Xinyue's face turned beet red instantly, but she didn't pull her hand away from Cao Yang's.

Afterward, the two of them flew back in the direction they had come from. Along the way, Xu Xinyue lowered her head with a flushed face and asked softly, "Brother Cao, did you break through to the Golden Immortal Realm? Your Lightning Tribulation was truly terrifying..."

Looking at the two Lightning Tribulations that had already dissipated in the sky, Xu Xinyue felt a bit worried, thinking Cao Yang had failed his Breakthrough. Just as she was about to comfort him, she heard Cao Yang reply, "Xinyue, I successfully broke through, but it wasn't to the Golden Immortal Realm; it was to the Immortal King Realm."

Xu Xinyue suddenly stopped in her tracks, an expression of disbelief on her face. She suspected she had misheard or that Cao Yang was joking with her. However, when she looked at him, she found his expression was exceptionally serious.

Cao Yang looked at her solemnly and said with a firm tone, "Xinyue, do you believe me? I really have broken through to the Immortal King Realm."

Xu Xinyue initially wanted to disbelieve it, as she hadn't even seen a Golden Immortal before. But when she saw Cao Yang's firm and sincere gaze, a sense of trust welled up in her heart for some reason. So, she nodded and said softly, "I believe you, Brother Cao."

Cao Yang knew Xu Xinyue was telling the truth, because with his Immortal King Realm, he could tell at a glance if she was lying. Moreover, the moment Xu Xinyue believed him from the bottom of her heart, Cao Yang received a notification from the System, informing him that Xu Xinyue's favorability toward him had reached 90.

This made Cao Yang feel very gratified and further confirmed Xu Xinyue's trust in him.

"Yes, Xinyue. Actually, I obtained a great Opportunity, so I break through very quickly. Don't resist; I'll take you somewhere. I have a way to help you break through directly to the Earth Immortal Realm," Cao Yang said gently to Xu Xinyue. With a thought, the two of them appeared within the Huangqing Small World.

"Brother Xu, where is this? The Immortal Qi is so weak!" Xu Xinyue asked in surprise, looking at the unfamiliar surroundings. She had never seen such a peculiar place and was filled with curiosity.

"This is inside my world. Xinyue, this is a first-rotation golden pill. Taking it will allow you to break through directly to the Earth Immortal Realm. Also, this ring can evade the Heavenly Tribulation. Hurry and take it," Cao Yang explained patiently as he exchanged a first-rotation golden pill and an upgraded ring from the System Store and handed them to Xu Xinyue.

Back when he broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, Fu Xiaoya in the Small World had broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm due to the influence, and she even almost attracted an Immortal Realm Heavenly Tribulation. Therefore, he had specifically replaced all his women's rings with upgraded versions to evade the Immortal Realm Heavenly Tribulation.

"Thank you, Brother Cao!" Xu Xinyue gratefully took the two items. Then, she impatiently sat down cross-legged and began her Breakthrough.

As time passed minute by minute, the aura on Xu Xinyue's body grew stronger and stronger, and she finally successfully broke through to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Xu Xinyue's face was full of joy, an emotion that was both excited and deeply moved. She never expected that Cao Yang would be so generous as to give her such a precious Immortal Pill!

Xu Xinyue stood up and ran happily into Cao Yang's embrace, her eyes sparkling with joy as she said delightedly, "Brother Cao, I want to become your Dao Companion, is that okay?"

Cao Yang gently stroked Xu Xinyue's hair and replied softly, "Xinyue, to tell you the truth, I actually ascended from the Lower Realm, and I already have many Dao Companions; they are all in this Small World. Do you mind this?"

Xu Xinyue shook her head slightly, indicating she didn't care, and said firmly, "I don't care about those things. As long as Brother Cao has me in your heart, that's enough."

Xu Xinyue shook her head gently, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly, her eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and determination, showing she didn't mind at all. Her gaze rested on Cao Yang as if telling him that no matter what happened, she would always be by his side.

Cao Yang saw Xu Xinyue's reaction and couldn't help but feel moved. He reached out and gently caressed her face, feeling her warmth. Then, he said softly, "Xinyue, I naturally have you in my heart; otherwise, I wouldn't have stayed at your house all this time." His voice was full of sincerity and deep affection, causing Xu Xinyue's heart to stir.

Hearing Cao Yang say this, a blush rose to Xu Xinyue's face. She lightly pounded his chest with her small hands and said coquettishly, "Hmph, it seems Brother Cao has been plotting against me for a long time!" There was a hint of playfulness and slyness in her eyes that made one want to get close to her.

Listening to Xu Xinyue's words, Cao Yang couldn't help but laugh. He pulled her into a tight embrace and said, "Just say if you're willing to be plotted against by your Brother Cao!" His voice was full of indulgence and love, causing Xu Xinyue's heart to melt again.

Leaning against Cao Yang's chest, Xu Xinyue felt his warmth and scent. Her heart raced, her cheeks flushed, and she said shyly, "Hmph, I'm not willing at all!" Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness and stubbornness, but more so, it was filled with her liking for and dependence on Cao Yang.

Looking at Xu Xinyue's cute appearance, Cao Yang couldn't help but lower his head and gently touch her forehead with his lips. His movement was light and tender, making Xu Xinyue's body tremble involuntarily. Her breathing quickened, and her hands tightly gripped the clothes at Cao Yang's waist, her palms sweating.

Sensing Xu Xinyue's nervousness, Cao Yang comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Xinyue. I will take good care of you." His words were like a spring breeze brushing past her ears, gradually calming her heart.

Slowly, under Cao Yang's guidance, Xu Xinyue gradually relaxed. She closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of warmth and sweetness. She knew that this was the love she had always looked forward to; although there was some shyness and nervousness, it was filled with happiness and hope.
