Win over Lin Qianxue

Moonlight like water streamed through the exquisite carved window lattice of Tingxue Courtyard, casting a mottled silver frost upon the ground.

The air within the refined chamber seemed to grow thick and scorching, intertwining with the cold fragrance of the thousand-year Winter Plum outside the window, creating an intoxicatingly peculiar atmosphere.

That priceless guanghan flowing immortal dress now emitted a faint, cold glow.

It was not merely a magical garment but a work of art; with every flowing pattern of its Formation, it accentuated the girl wrapped within it, making her appear as if in a dream.

Su Ye's fingers gently rested upon the silver silk ribbon at Lin Qianxue's waist.

Lin Qianxue's delicate body trembled violently; like a startled fawn, she tightly shut her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering intensely like butterfly wings.

"Are you afraid?"

Su Ye's voice, deep and magnetic, softly sounded by her ear, carrying a hint of warm breath that teased her already taut heartstrings.

"N-no... I'm not afraid."

Lin Qianxue's voice was as faint as a mosquito's hum, yet it carried a resolute tone. "As long as it's Senior Brother... Light Snow fears nothing."

Su Ye chuckled softly.

"This guanghan flowing immortal dress is a Heaven Rank Low Grade defensive magical garment, equipped with the 'Ice Skin and Jade Bones' defensive Formation."

His fingers were in no hurry to undo the ribbon.

"It is said that only a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator can breach its defense."

"Senior Brother is only at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul now. I wonder... if I can break through Junior Sister's defense?"

This was a tease, and even more so, a suggestive flirtation.

Lin Qianxue could not withstand such teasing; her usually cold and peerlessly beautiful face now flushed so deeply it seemed about to drip blood.

She slowly opened her eyes; those eyes, usually filled only with Sword Intent, were now misty and blurred, reflecting Su Ye's exceptionally handsome face.

"Senior Brother..."

She bit her lower lip, mustering the greatest courage of her life, and tremblingly extended her hand.

"If Senior Brother..."

These words were like a spark igniting dry tinder.

The amusement in Su Ye's eyes instantly transformed into a profound darkness—the most primitive possessiveness of a man.

"Good."

"Then tonight, Senior Brother will thoroughly inspect whether this garment's Formation... is effective or not."

Garments fluttered and fell like snowflakes.

Ice Skin and Jade Bones, naturally flawless.

The unique fragrance of a maiden instantly filled the entire room.

Lin Qianxue gasped in surprise, instinctively wanting to curl up, but Su Ye domineeringly pulled her into his embrace.

Su Ye lowered his head and kissed her trembling cherry lips, silencing all her shyness and exclamations.

Lin Qianxue felt a 'boom' in her mind; all reason completely collapsed at that moment.

Sword Dao, cultivation—all were tossed beyond the Nine Heavens.

Her world now held only this man before her.

This man who pulled her from the icy world of Sword Dao, gave her warmth, and bestowed upon her domineering affection.

"Senior Brother... love me..."

She screamed wildly in her heart.

At that moment, the 'Yandere' attribute judged by the System erupted completely.

It was the price of a maiden transforming into a woman.

Lin Qianxue's delicate brows slightly furrowed, a crystal tear sliding from the corner of her eye.

The Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art within her body quietly circulated.

But he did not plunder.

But it was even more a gift.

Outside Tingxue Courtyard... the next morning.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining upon Purple Bamboo Peak.

The entire Tingxue Courtyard was covered in a faint layer of frost, appearing exceptionally holy.

Inside the refined chamber.

Su Ye slowly opened his eyes.

In that instant, a flash of brilliance passed through his eyes, as if stars were being born and extinguished.

In his arms was a warm, soft, jade-like delicate body.

Lin Qianxue curled up in his embrace like a lazy kitten, one jade-like leg boldly draped over his waist.

A satisfied smile hung at the corner of her mouth, traces of tears from last night's pleasure still at the corners of her eyes, sound asleep.

This was not merely possession.

It was also the establishment of the closest bond in this cruel world of immortal cultivation.

"Ding!"

Just then, the long-awaited System notification sound arrived as scheduled, ringing crisply in his mind.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully conquering 'destined female protagonist' Lin Qianxue!"

"Detected that Lin Qianxue, as a possessor of Supreme Grade Ice Spirit Root and Innate Sword Heart, has profound Luck, and her affection for the Host has reached 'until death do us part' (Yandere state)."

"This Dual Cultivation has triggered the System's super critical hit reward!"

Su Ye raised an eyebrow slightly, his thoughts moving: "Settle the rewards."

"Ding! Rewards being distributed..."

"Reward One: Host's cultivation directly instilled, side-effect-free enhancement!"

"Reward Two: Obtained Divine-Grade passive skill—[Ice Heart Demonic Seed] (When you Dual Cultivate with a Dao Companion possessing an ice-type Physique, cultivation speed increases tenfold, and you can borrow a trace of their Origin cold Qi to temper your Demonic Technique, causing spiritual power to carry an extreme freezing effect)."

"Reward Three: Obtained Heaven Rank Supreme Grade sword Formation—[Nine Heavens Profound Frost Sword Formation] (Tailored for Lin Qianxue's Physique, Host can impart it)."

"Reward Four: villain points +20000."

The series of reward notifications caused even Su Ye's usually calm state of mind to ripple slightly.

Especially that [Ice Heart Demonic Seed].

This was practically a Divine-Grade skill custom-made for him and Lin Qianxue!

And that cultivation instillation... Su Ye took a deep breath and, without rushing to check on Lin Qianxue's condition, closed his eyes and began guiding the vast energy that had appeared out of thin air within his body.

Rumble—

Within his body, it was as if rivers were surging, emitting thunderous sounds.

Within the Dantian Purple Mansion.

That originally only fist-sized, pitch-black Nascent Soul was now greedily devouring this energy.

Nascent Soul Second Heaven... broken!

In merely a breath's time.

That originally indestructible barrier was shattered as easily as tearing through paper.

But this was only the beginning.

The energy was too immense and extremely pure, requiring no refinement; it directly merged into his limbs and bones.

Nascent Soul Third Heaven!

The Nascent Soul's Aura surged again, its size growing larger, its originally blurred features becoming clearer, its brow increasingly resembling Su Ye's, exuding an Aura of looking down upon the world.

It still hadn't stopped!

Su Ye felt his Meridians faintly aching—a sign of power swelling to its limit.

He circulated the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art; the Supreme Bone in his chest shone brilliantly, emitting mysterious runes to suppress himself, preventing a shaky Foundation.

"Break... for me!"

Su Ye inwardly shouted.

Boom!

A terrifying wave of Qi, centered on him, instantly spread in all directions.

If not for the isolation Formation already arranged within Tingxue Courtyard, the roofs of the entire Purple Bamboo Peak might have been blown off by this Aura.

Nascent Soul Fourth Heaven!

Finally, that violent energy gradually calmed, transforming into a trickling stream, nourishing his newly broken-through Realm.

Su Ye slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi.

This turbid Qi actually transformed into a white streak, condensing in the air without dispersing, flying a full three feet before slowly vanishing.

Overnight, breaking through two Heavens consecutively!

If this were to spread, even the Grand Elders of Taichu Holy Land would likely be shocked, exclaiming 'Prodigy.'

One must know that at the Nascent Soul Stage, each Heaven's promote is as difficult as ascending to the heavens; ordinary Cultivators might not break through even one Heaven after decades or even centuries of seclusion.

Yet Su Ye merely slept through it.

This was the terror of the System, this was the joy of Dual Cultivation!

"So this is the power of the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul..."

Su Ye clenched his fist, feeling the vast, sea-like power within his body, a satisfied curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

Now, even without using his trump cards, just with this level of cultivation, he could easily overpower most Elders of Taichu Holy Land.

Even... his gaze drifted imperceptibly toward the direction of the mountaintop.

"Revered Master, oh Revered Master, your disciple is now at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul. Although still far from your Undergoing Tribulation Stage, this gap... is gradually shrinking."

As if sensing the intense spiritual power fluctuations from Su Ye's body.

The beauty in his arms, her eyelashes fluttering slightly, slowly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was Su Ye's bare, robust chest.

Lin Qianxue was momentarily stunned, then the Crazy scenes of last night flooded her mind like a tide.

"Eep..."

She let out a shy whimper, instinctively wanting to pull the blanket over her head.

But the next second.

She stopped her movement.

Because she discovered that her own body seemed to have undergone some incredible changes as well.

The Bottleneck at Qi Refining Ninth Level had actually... broken without her noticing?

At this very moment.

Within her Dantian, quietly Floating, a faint crack had actually appeared.

Not shattering.

But... a sign of stepping into Foundation Establishment!

"Half-step Foundation Establishment?!"

Lin Qianxue exclaimed in disbelief, her face full of incredulity.

She originally thought she would need at least several years of arduous cultivation, perhaps even With the help of the Opportunity of the sect's Secret Realm, to possibly touch the threshold of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

But now... merely overnight?

She abruptly looked up at Su Ye; besides adoration, her eyes now held more admiration.

"Senior Brother... am I dreaming?"

She extended her fair, onion-white fingers and gently poked Su Ye's chest muscles, as if wanting to confirm this was real.

Su Ye grabbed her mischievous little hand and kissed it.

"If it's a dream, would you be willing to wake up?"

"No!"

Lin Qianxue answered resolutely.

She suddenly flipped over, disregarding the Springtime Revealed, and clung to Su Ye like an octopus.

"This dream is too good; I want to live it for a lifetime."

Her face pressed against Su Ye's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, her tone carrying a hint of pathological obsession:

"Senior Brother is my medicine, and also my dream."

"Whoever dares to wake me, I'll use my sword... to kill them."

Su Ye felt the chill in her tone but, far from Dislike, found it particularly thrilling.

He reached out and stroked her smooth, satin-like back, his fingers twirling a strand of her black hair.

"Don't worry, no one can wake you."

"But..."

Su Ye changed the subject, grinning mischievously: "Since you're awake, shouldn't you serve Senior Brother in dressing?"

"Today, I still have to take you to meet your two Senior Sisters."

Mentioning Senior Sisters.

Lin Qianxue's body stiffened slightly, a flash of vigilance and jealousy in her eyes.

Second Senior Sister Ji Ziyue, Third Senior Sister Lin Waner.

Previously, it was deep Deep camaraderie among fellow students.

Now... they were potential love rivals!

Especially Third Senior Sister Lin Waner, that figure... Lin Qianxue glanced down at her own pert but not yet Exaggeration chest, and alarm bells instantly rang loudly in her heart.

"Senior Brother..."

She looked up at Su Ye with melancholy eyes, her fingers drawing circles on his chest.

"What's wrong?"

"Will you... abandon Light Snow if you have Senior Sisters?"

Su Ye chuckled wryly.

Was this the insecurity after Darkening?

He pinched Lin Qianxue's puffed-up cheek and whispered in her ear:

"Silly."

"Although Purple Bamboo Peak is large, the only one who can make Senior Brother break through two Realms overnight is you."

"No one can take away this 'first contributor' position."

Hearing the words 'break through two Realms overnight,' although Lin Qianxue didn't fully understand the specific Realm divisions, she knew Senior Brother must have gained great benefits.

And because of her!

This realization instantly Extremely satisfied her vanity and possessiveness.

I am useful to Senior Brother!

Senior Brother cannot do without me!

"Mm!"

Lin Qianxue nodded heavily, a bright smile blooming on her face, carrying a hint of charm and cunning.

"Then, Senior Brother... if you encounter Bottlenecks in cultivation in the future, you can come find Light Snow anytime."

"Light Snow... awaits at any time."

After saying this, her face flushed, and like a startled rabbit, she quickly scrambled off Su Ye, grabbed the clothes on the floor, and ran behind the screen.

"I'll go fetch water for Senior Brother to wash his face!"
