321: Chapter 321 Do you want to go to the Heavenly Origin Immortal Dynasty?

Just as An Hongxiu's hand touched the outer robe, her wrist was firmly grasped by a warm palm.

In the next moment, she fell into a warm embrace.

An Hongxiu looked back in confusion.

The corners of Ling Hao's lips curled into a meaningful arc.

"You have taken the initiative to seek me out so many times; it would seem unreasonable if I didn't respond even once?"

An Hongxiu was stunned, and a brilliant light of surprise instantly erupted in her eyes.

She didn't care at all about being caught by her Junior Sister; she only worried that the Supreme would care about his reputation. Since the Supreme didn't care...

Her Battle Intent surged in her heart; I, An Hongxiu, must get what I want today.

Just as An Hongxiu was about to make a move.

Ling Hao's palm gently pushed forward, and a soft power surged out.

Amidst the world spinning, An Hongxiu only felt her back press against the palace pillar, her entire being firmly confined in a small space by Ling Hao's tall and upright body, with no way to retreat.

"Supreme?"

A trace of astonishment flashed in An Hongxiu's eyes, which was immediately replaced by an even more burning flame.

"So... impatient?"

Ling Hao snorted softly in his heart.

If he were a step slower, he feared he would be pinned down again! Were the "lessons" from the previous two times not profound enough? This time, the initiative must be in his own hands!

He leaned down, his nose touching her neck, their hot breaths intertwining.

"Yesterday I guided you in the law; today, I will teach you... how to use the true intent of the 'Burning Heaven Battle Sutra' to trigger the deepest resonance of your Crimson Sky War Body and help your Physique reach the next level!"

Before his voice fell, the Chaotic Spiritual Qi on Ling Hao's body burst forth, igniting the blood and Qi surging like lava within An Hongxiu's body!

"Are you ready?"

"Come!"

"Then sit down and give me your hands."

The two held hands, their fingers tightly interlaced. Ling Hao pulled hard, while the vast Chaotic Spiritual Qi within his body, like a flood breaching a dam, surged into An Hongxiu's body through their joined hands, forcefully guiding her to circulate the 'Burning Heaven Battle Sutra.'

Boom!

The Qi of the two was like two roaring crimson dragons, crashing together and instantly shattering the barrier between them.

"Ugh..."

An Hongxiu let out a suppressed groan, feeling an irresistible force of Chaotic Spiritual Qi invade forcefully, striking directly at the core Origin of her Crimson Sky War Body, just like the Breaking Army Heavy Spear in her hand, tearing through the strongest defense of the Crimson Sky War Body with unparalleled momentum.

Her body tensed like a fully drawn bow, the blood and Qi within her body like a furnace were completely ignited, and battle runes flickered beneath her skin, emitting a low hum.

Ling Hao released her hands and lightly pressed on the key Meridians and acupoints around her body.

With every touch, a wisp of pure Chaotic Spiritual Qi was injected, either neutralizing the overly violent backlash of the Crimson Sky War Body with soft force or stimulating its deeper potential with hard force.

Every collision and fusion of power made An Hongxiu's Crimson Sky War Body emit an even more dazzling light, the battle runes appearing and disappearing, and her blood and Qi roaring like thunder.

Her breathing became increasingly rapid, each breath carrying a scorching heat, as if being tempered in a furnace.

After a long time, the awakening of the Physique reached a fever pitch.

"Turn around; I need to clear your meridian passes!"

"Yes..."

An Hongxiu turned around as told, exposing her back to Ling Hao.

Ling Hao pressed both palms against her smooth back.

Buzz!

Even more majestic Chaotic Spiritual Qi gushed from his palms, like a storm sweeping across the land, or like thousands of troops and horses launching a final charge!

Under Ling Hao's guidance, this power transformed into countless hot afterimages of battle spears, striking one acupoint barrier after another within her body.

An Hongxiu's body trembled uncontrollably and violently; every clearing of an acupoint brought her an extreme experience of overwhelming pleasure intertwined with pain.

She bit her lower lip hard, yet she still couldn't suppress the whimpers and battle cries escaping from her throat; fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, gathering into streams that slid down her slender neck.

"Hold on! How can you see the nectar without experiencing the storm?"

"Yes..."

An Hongxiu's voice was firm as she gritted her teeth and persevered.

Finally, Ling Hao gave a low command.

"Concentrate! Chixiao Returns to Origin!"

An Hongxiu's body shook violently, as if struck by a bolt of crimson-purple lightning. All her senses were pushed to an unimaginable Peak in an instant.

A dazzling crimson filled her vision, the roar of surging blood and Qi echoed in her ears, and the Origin of the Crimson Sky War Body within her body perfectly fused with the Origin of the Chaotic Spiritual Qi introduced by Ling Hao, turning into a warm and powerful current that filled her limbs and bones, nourishing every inch of her muscles and blood.

"Is it... over..."

An Hongxiu lost all strength and slumped softly back into Ling Hao's arms, leaving only a violently heaving chest and rapid gasps.

Deep in the bamboo forest. Lan Zhiwei ultimately couldn't suppress her damned curiosity; she concealed her entire aura and sneaked back to the bamboo forest near the side hall. She held her breath, heightening her Divine Sense perception to the limit, cautiously probing toward the palace.

The hall was initially silent. Lan Zhiwei felt disappointed and was about to turn and leave.

Intermittent sounds, however, began to drill into her Sea of Consciousness.

"It's... Eldest Senior Sister's voice!"

That sound... Lan Zhiwei was not ignorant. This was clearly...

Strangely, the originally blurred scene before her eyes was replaced in the next instant; under her Divine Sense, she actually 'saw'...

This scene was far more concrete and shocking than the visual impact of her previous glimpse!

Her usually calm and rational thinking was crushed, and her cool, pretty face turned bright red, like a cooked shrimp.

Thus, Lan Zhiwei fled again.

Inside the hall.

"Supreme, what are you looking at?"

An Hongxiu leaned lazily against Ling Hao's chest.

"Ding!..."

Ling Hao withdrew his gaze from the bamboo forest and looked down at the woman in his arms, who was as bright and moving as fire, a deep smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

[Name: An Hongxiu]

[Age: 3280]

[Spiritual Root: Fire Spiritual Root (Heaven Grade)]

[Bloodline: Ancient Scorching Brilliance Bloodline]

[Physique: Battle Saint Soul Physique]

[Cultivation: Sixth Level of Void Tempering]

[Favorability: 100]

"Nothing,"

Ling Hao lightly stroked her sweat-dampened hair at her temples,

"Perhaps the commotion just now was a bit loud and disturbed the little creatures in the forest..."

...

Inside the Qifeng Hall.

Gu Qingyao was methodically assisting Su Fengyi in handling the mountain of political memorials.

Suddenly, Su Fengyi put down her vermilion brush, rubbed her temples, and asked seemingly casually:

"Qingyao, what do you think... of the Supreme as a person?"

Gu Qingyao's hand holding the brush paused slightly. After a moment of deliberation, she replied gently:

"The Supreme's strength is unfathomable, his majesty is natural, and his bearing is extraordinary. In his dealings... though he is sometimes informal, he also possesses a captivating charm."

Su Fengyi nodded, her gaze thoughtfully directed out the window, as she changed the subject.

"Does your Revered Master... have something on her mind lately? Or... is there something she finds difficult to say to me?"

Gu Qingyao thought for a moment and shook her head:

"Replying to Your Majesty, Revered Master is as usual, and I haven't heard her mention any difficulties."

"Is that so?"

Su Fengyi's elegant brows furrowed slightly. She always felt that when Ye Xinglan faced her lately, there was some inexplicable complex emotion hidden in her eyes that she couldn't quite grasp.

Unable to figure it out, Su Fengyi set it aside for now and ordered:

"In three days, the Moonshadow Sect will set off to return. Go and prepare the farewell ceremony; make sure it is thorough."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gu Qingyao respectfully accepted the order and rose to withdraw.

Just as she was about to step out of the hall door, Su Fengyi's voice came from behind her again:

"Qingyao,"

Gu Qingyao's footsteps stopped.

"Do you want to go to the Tianyuan Immortal Dynasty?"

Gu Qingyao's heart skipped a beat.
