28: Soaking in the spiritual spring with Li Qiuyue

“What fate? Holy Maiden, what do you mean by that?”

Su Xuan feigned ignorance.

“In our Tianwu Holy Land, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden are a pair. Since you found the token, from now on, you are the Holy Son of our Tianwu Holy Land!”

Li Qiuyue explained.

“What? Holy Son? Me?”

Su Xuan exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, in Tianwu Holy Land, there’s an unwritten rule: whoever obtains this token becomes the new Holy Son!”

“Speaking of which, you are the first Holy Son our Tianwu Holy Land has had in many years!”

Li Qiuyue chuckled.

Li Qiuyue was not surprised by Su Xuan’s reaction; it would be strange if anyone wasn't surprised by this news.

“This… I’m receiving information a bit too quickly; I can’t quite accept it right now!”

Su Xuan seemed hesitant and worried.

“What’s there to not accept? These are all your opportunities. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you!”

Li Qiuyue chuckled.

“Besides, you don’t have to worry about being bullied when you get there. My mother and the Elders will support you!”

Li Qiuyue said.

Just like in the original novel, Li Qiuyue said the same thing to Lin Fan, but her attitude towards him was much better than towards Lin Fan.

In the original novel, when Li Qiuyue saw Lin Fan, there was a hint of disdain.

“Indeed, this is the difference in treatment between a villain and a Destined Protagonist! Perhaps it’s because I’m too handsome!”

It wasn't that Su Xuan was conceited, but in Qi Country, Su Xuan was indeed highly admired by many, with some even hailing him as the top of Qi Country's Ten Young Masters.

However, these were all empty titles; compared to the readers present, Su Xuan was nothing!

“In that case…”

Su Xuan pretended to still find it hard to accept, and Li Qiuyue didn't say much more, as Su Xuan's reaction was normal.

“You don’t need to call me Holy Maiden anymore. By status, we are equals. You can just call me Qiuyue!”

Li Qiuyue smiled.

“In that case, alright then… Qiuyue!”

Su Xuan called out, and Li Qiuyue, instead of being angry, was pleased.

“Then I’ll call you Su Xuan from now on!”

Li Qiuyue chuckled.

“Let’s not talk so much for now. You and I should split this spiritual spring! This is a rare treasure!”

Li Qiuyue said, her face flushed.

Spiritual springs, even in Tianwu Holy Land, were rare. As a Holy Maiden, she only had one chance to enjoy one each year.

Although the spiritual spring here wasn't particularly high-grade, the spiritual energy it contained was quite abundant.

Hearing Li Qiuyue’s words, Su Xuan was a bit “excited,” but he forced himself to calm down.

He didn't want to ruin the good impression he had just made so quickly; there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

“I’ll follow all of Holy Maiden’s commands!”

Su Xuan said respectfully.

“Then turn your back! No peeking!”

Li Qiuyue said, blushing.

Afterward, Su Xuan obediently turned his back. He had already seen what he should and shouldn't have seen, so now it was better to quietly Cultivate.

Listening to the sound of clothes slipping off behind him, Su Xuan remained unperturbed, which made Li Qiuyue appreciate him more.

“To be able to remain so composed in such a situation, he truly is a gentleman!”

Li Qiuyue thought to herself.

“Ding! Li Qiuyue’s favorability towards the host has increased by 5 points!”

Hearing the System's prompt, Su Xuan was not surprised. At this moment, he was concentrating on cultivating.

“Such terrifying talent! Is this a Holy Maiden?”

Su Xuan was shocked to find that the speed at which he absorbed the spiritual spring couldn't quite keep up with Li Qiuyue!

To be precise, he couldn't quite compete with her!

“What a generous man!”

Li Qiuyue thought Su Xuan was letting her have it, and her affection for Su Xuan deepened.

“Ding! Li Qiuyue’s favorability towards the host has increased by 5 points!”

A few hours later, Li Qiuyue finished absorbing, leaving only Su Xuan.

With no one to compete with, Su Xuan also began to absorb the spiritual spring in large gulps.

An hour later, the remaining spiritual spring was also absorbed by Su Xuan, and Su Xuan's Realm had now broken through to the Great Power Realm.

“This feels great!”

In just a few hours, Su Xuan's Realm had seen a significant improvement.

“Are you done?”

Li Qiuyue’s affection for Su Xuan was very evident in her eyes.

“I’m done!”

Su Xuan put on his clothes and said.

“Since that’s the case, let’s first collect all the spiritual herbs and other things here; these are all for cultivation!”

“We’ll collect them, and after returning to the Holy Land, we can have the Elders refine them into pills for our cultivation!”

“You can take anything you want here. This Secret Realm is a special reward unique to the Holy Maiden and Holy Son! Everything inside belongs to the two of us!”

Li Qiuyue said excitedly.

“However, comparatively, the most important thing is the Cultivation Technique within this Secret Realm; it’s said to be the most top-tier Cultivation Technique of Tianwu Holy Land, hidden within the Secret Realm!”

“I have a map left by my mother earlier. We’ll go there first in a bit!”

As Li Qiuyue spoke, she collected the spiritual herbs and various miscellaneous items on the ground into a Storage Ring and handed the Storage Ring to Su Xuan.

“Why are you just standing there! Come help me pick things up! Everything in here is ours, you don’t need to have any psychological burden! Just take it!”

“Anyway, after we go out, you won’t be teleported into the Holy Land, so no one will know you took it!”

Li Qiuyue said.

“Oh, oh… Okay!”

Seeing this, Su Xuan stopped pretending and followed Li Qiuyue in collecting these spiritual herbs and various high-grade medicinal materials.

The two collected items along the way, while also following the map given by Li Qiuyue’s mother to a trial ground.

On the way, Li Qiuyue was very proactive, like a little wife, which was quite different from how Li Qiuyue treated Lin Fan in the original novel.

“Fanzi, Ah Fanzi, originally these things were yours, but now, they’re all mine! Hehehe!”

Su Xuan couldn't help but let out an evil smile.

“What are you laughing at?”

Li Qiuyue was a bit puzzled.

“Cough cough… Nothing!”

Su Xuan coughed twice to cover his embarrassment.

Before long, both of their Storage Rings and storage bags were filled to the brim with various high-grade spiritual medicines.

“According to my mother, the most precious item in the entire Secret Realm is hidden within a trial ground!”

“However, to obtain what’s inside, one must pass some trials!”

Li Qiuyue said.

This was also the plan Tang Mei had told her before coming in, to use this trial ground to assess Su Xuan's talent.

“Then should we go there? Aren’t you afraid I’ll hold you back?”

Su Xuan asked.

“It’s fine, I trust you. With your current performance, I believe you’ll have no problem passing the test!”
