Chapter 131: Husband and Wife?! Parting!
"So... can we be considered husband and wife now?"
The moment Chen Xuan heard those words, his body stiffened. Lowering his head to look at Su Tianyi, who was gazing up at him sweetly, he felt the urge to flee.
However, sensing her eyes fixed on him, he suppressed that impulse.
He didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he pulled her naked body even closer, earning a startled yelp in response.
Then, he gently brushed the damp strands from her forehead and inhaled the faint fragrance lingering from her bath.
Su Tianyi smiled at his actions. Raising her head, she softly kissed him before reaching up to caress his face.
"I know what you’re worried about. However, there’s no need to be concerned."
"Although you’re a demonic cultivator and I’m the Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Cult, those identities shouldn’t keep us apart."
As she spoke, Su Tianyi unconsciously pressed herself against Chen Xuan.
"I’ve already seen it. You’re not like other demonic cultivators. Even if you practice demonic techniques, your heart still longs for the light."
Su Tianyi briefly paused. Her eyes shone with love as she stared at Chen Xuan’s face.
Su Tianyi paused briefly. Affection shone in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Xuan’s face.
A few moments later, she clenched her teeth, as though finally making up her mind.
"Once I return to the sect, I’ll ask my Master to help you sever your demonic ties. Only then will we be able to marry and remain husband and wife forever."
Seeing the unwavering determination on her face, Chen Xuan was wise enough not to say anything. He merely leaned closer and wrapped an arm around her waist, his hand gradually wandering across her body.
As if by accident, it soon drifted lower, finally settling between her legs.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Su Tianyi’s face as she voiced her protest.
"We just finished bathing! It’s not good to do this right now!"
"Ah! Keep your hands to yourself! Eep!"

Several hours passed before Chen Xuan and Su Tianyi’s adventure finally came to an end.
Although reluctant, Su Tianyi seemed to understand that all good things eventually ended.
Even so, before leaving, she couldn’t help glancing back at Chen Xuan, longing evident in her eyes.
"Brother Chen, don’t worry. I’ll ask my Master to help you. Then you can come to the Holy Fire Cult and formally propose marriage."
"Keep this token."
Su Tianyi handed him a crimson token while revealing that she possessed a matching one herself.
"As long as we’re both alive, this token will serve as proof of our love. I’m certain our feelings will endure forever," she said shyly.
Hearing those words and seeing the affection overflowing from her eyes, Chen Xuan was left speechless.
He had the urge to curse inwardly. Yet on the surface, he merely smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Only after Su Tianyi soared into the sky and vanished completely from sight did he finally let out a sigh of relief.
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he muttered under his breath,
"It’s all because of my damn charm! I never wanted to do this!"
At that moment, Chen Xuan once again understood the cruelty of this world.
He was simply too outstanding. Even while pretending to be a demonic cultivator, his righteous aura remained impossible to conceal.
Look at what happened. Even the Holy Maiden of the Holy Fire Cult had fallen for his righteousness.
Sue enough, outstanding people constantly stood out, regardless of how hard they tried not to.
Thinking of this, Chen Xuan slowly exhaled.
After taking one final look at their temporary resting place, he waved a hand, and a ferocious zombie appeared before him.
Linking his divine sense to it, he directed the creature to pick him up and soar into the sky.
Before long, Chen Xuan’s figure had disappeared as well.
Only the temporary shelter remained within the Dread Forest, as though bearing silent witness to the couple’s meeting.

The speed of a Soul Formation expert was truly astonishing. Although the zombie lacked the appropriate spells and abilities and could rely only on its physical strength, the difference was still remarkable.
When he had first come here, it had taken Chen Xuan several days to travel from the Jade Pure Sect to the eastern region.
Now, however, the same journey was completed in a matter of hours, despite several stops along the way.
As he looked down at the Spirit Stone mine below, Chen Xuan let out a sigh of relief.
He descended gently and entered the area. Very few people noticed his arrival.
Aside from a handful of disciples guarding the mine, who respectfully bowed upon seeing him, Chen Xuan encountered no one else until he reached his residence.
The moment he sat down, the tension in his body finally eased.
Activating his transmission talisman, he informed Tang Yuechen of everything that had happened, explicitly stating that he had resolved the chaos in the eastern region.
Naturally, he was wise enough to keep his encounter with Su Tianyi a secret. Both regarding their meeting and the promise the woman had made to him. ƒreewebɳovel.com
After doing so, Chen Xuan finally examined his current condition.
Although he had failed to obtain Su Tianyi’s Primordial Yin due to her need to preserve her virginity for the Holy Fire Codex, he had still gained considerable benefits from their dual cultivation session.
Within his Dantian, his Nascent Soul had grown noticeably larger and stronger. It now resembled a young man on the verge of adulthood.
’I’m only missing an opportunity. Once it arrives, I’ll be able to break through to the Late Nascent Soul stage.’
The realization filled Chen Xuan’s eyes with excitement. It had not been long since he obtained the System.
Yet within only a few months, he had accomplished what would take ordinary cultivators hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
After praising his own talent inwardly, Chen Xuan took out the Seven Trials Tower.
Then, with a flash of light, his body vanished into its interior.
