553: Gradually heating up

The quiet room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.

Xia Chuwei stood in the center of the room, her expression becoming serious and focused. "The Dao of Cultivation emphasizes a peaceful state of mind and precise control over Qi. You first try to circulate your Qi, let me see where your problem lies."

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged as instructed, closed his eyes, and concentrated, beginning to mobilize the Qi within him. A moment later, the Qi slowly surged around him, emitting a faint 'halo'.

Seeing this, Xia Chuwei approached Chen Xuan, carefully observing the circulation of his Qi.

Then, she frowned slightly, stretched out her fair fingers, and gently touched Chen Xuan's collarbone. A soft force flowed from her fingertips into his body.

"The flow of Qi here is a bit sluggish. You need to focus your mind here and guide the Qi to flow more smoothly."

Chen Xuan felt the warmth and power from Xia Chuwei's fingertips, his heart stirred, but he still forced himself to calm his mind and adjusted the direction of his Qi according to her instructions.

Soon, under Xia Chuwei's careful guidance, he gradually 'found the feeling', and the circulation of his Qi became more adept.

"I, I found that feeling of Breakthrough! So that's how it is, thank you, Sister-in-law!"

"Oh, this is all because you, Uncle, are naturally intelligent. I didn't actually help you much!" Xia Chuwei said modestly, but her hand, still touching Chen Xuan's collarbone, did not withdraw.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the quiet room became increasingly solemn.

Xia Chuwei occasionally corrected Chen Xuan's Cultivation deviations, and the distance between them grew closer with these frequent contacts.

Chen Xuan occasionally looked up at Xia Chuwei's focused face, his heart filled with joy, and Xia Chuwei, inadvertently, was also moved by Chen Xuan's serious demeanor, a trace of almost imperceptible tenderness appearing in her eyes.

Just then, after a 'pop' sound in the quiet room, Chen Xuan's Cultivation 'Broke through' to the Tianxian Realm.

"Sister-in-law, I've Broken through! I've finally successfully Broken through to the Tianxian Realm!"

Xia Chuwei, standing by, was first slightly stunned, then a gentle smile bloomed on her lips: "Yes, I'm truly happy for you, Uncle. This is truly wonderful news! Congratulations, Uncle!"

Hearing his Sister-in-law's congratulations, Chen Xuan became even more excited. He couldn't help but exclaim loudly: "This is great! Now I also have the strength to follow in my Big Brother's footsteps, and from now on I can fight alongside Big Brother, just thinking about it is exciting!"

As he spoke, Chen Xuan suddenly opened his arms and tightly embraced Xia Chuwei, who was close at hand.

Xia Chuwei had no idea Chen Xuan would make such a move. She only felt a masculine scent instantly rush over her. She couldn't help but exclaim softly:

"Oh my! Alright, alright, you don't have to be so happy, hurry and put me down!" At this moment, her cheeks were flushed like rosy clouds, her shy appearance was truly adorable.

But at this moment, Chen Xuan was already overwhelmed by the immense 'joy', how could he pay attention to his Sister-in-law's shouts? Not only did he not let go, but he held Xia Chuwei even tighter, even starting to spin in place.

"You... can you let me go first? I know you're very excited right now, but holding someone like this is really not appropriate..." Xia Chuwei's face was red, her voice getting lower and lower, her slightly shy tone sounding as soft as a mosquito's whisper.

However, Chen Xuan seemed not to hear, ignoring her words, his arms tightened even more, firmly embracing Xia Chuwei, as if he wanted to merge her into his body.

The next moment, he slowly buried his head deep into Xia Chuwei's swan-like neck, his nose lightly touching her delicate skin, greedily inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her, his heart as if submerged by a warm torrent, his joy overflowing.

"Sister-in-law, do you know? For these past few days, I've been Cultivating day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, just to one day successfully Breakthrough to the Tianxian Realm! Today, my dream has finally come true, this feeling is simply wonderful!" Chen Xuan said happily.

It's just that he didn't know what was so wonderful.

Xia Chuwei also keenly sensed his emotional fluctuations, and her originally calm heart couldn't help but ripple.

She nodded slightly, gently extended her jade hand, and like a gentle breeze stroking a willow, lightly caressed Chen Xuan's hair, her cherry lips slightly parted, and she softly said: "Uncle, your hard work has finally paid off. To achieve such an accomplishment is truly commendable."

"Sister-in-law, am I very amazing?" Chen Xuan pretended to be proud.

Looking at Chen Xuan, who was both proud and expectant, Xia Chuwei couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle, playfully chiding: "Amazing, amazing, Uncle is naturally incredibly amazing, are you satisfied now!"

...

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the two stood quietly embracing each other, neither willing to break this rare tranquility and beauty.

Everything around them seemed to have become unimportant, only their body temperatures and heartbeats intertwined, playing a beautiful and moving melody.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Chen Xuan finally reluctantly released his tightly embracing arms from Xia Chuwei.

Their eyes met, and in an instant, a shy blush crept onto their cheeks, and an almost imperceptible awkward atmosphere filled the air.

Xia Chuwei reacted first, quickly saying: "Uncle, since you have already Broken through to the Tianxian Realm, we should immediately inform your Big Brother. I believe he will also be very happy."

"Mhm." Chen Xuan slowly nodded, then gently squatted down.

His gaze fell on Xia Chuwei's jade feet, clad in cute white socks, and a hint of imperceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

Then, he carefully extended his hand and gently unfastened the edge of the sock, slowly pulling it down.

Xia Chuwei saw Chen Xuan's actions and did not stop him. Furthermore, her pretty face flushed slightly.

She lightly raised her jade hand, elegantly tidied her slightly messy hair, her cherry lips parted, and her voice was as clear and melodious as an oriole leaving a valley:

"Uncle... Since you have now successfully Broken through to the Tianxian Realm and your strength has greatly increased, I'm afraid I cannot keep you here..."

Chen Xuan nodded again upon hearing this, but his steps seemed somewhat heavy and reluctant.

With each step, he couldn't help but turn his head back, gazing deeply at Xia Chuwei's beautiful and moving face, as if wanting to engrave her current appearance deep into his heart.

Yes, the most devoted person in the world.
