After Elder Qing and the Eight-winged Golden Scale Python left, Ye Tian and Ye Feifei sat quietly, drinking tea. The day's events had a profound impact on them, making their yearning for power all the more palpable.
'If we were strong enough, we wouldn't have needed Elder Qing's help. If we were strong enough, the Liu Family would only be able to cower in fear, not dare to move against the Ye Family.' At that moment, they were both eagerly anticipating their enrollment in Linyuan Academy.
"Brother Tian, what are your plans now? Qin Xiaowan's whereabouts are unknown. Should we send people to find her?" Ye Feifei asked Ye Tian.
Ye Tian glanced at Ye Feifei and offered a faint smile. "There's no need. The most important thing right now is to improve our strength as quickly as possible. When we get to Linyuan Academy, we'll probably be at the very bottom. It will take a great deal of effort to make a name for ourselves there. Besides, Qin Xiaowan's talent is formidable—she's not much weaker than I am."
Ye Feifei mulled it over for a moment before replying, "So you also think Xiaowan's talent is impressive, Brother Tian? I never expected her to already be at the One Vein Eighth Layer. She hid her true strength so well."
"Feifei, you have the Divine Phoenix Feather, and Qin Xiaowan also possesses a heaven-defying treasure. She's just like me; she has a Dragon Pearl. She might become incredibly powerful one day. However, there's one thing that worries me. We annihilated the Qin Family. She will definitely come back for revenge," Ye Tian said gravely.
"Even if she becomes incredibly powerful, I won't be afraid. The Ye Family still has you, doesn't it? And once I awaken my Divine Phoenix Bloodline, I won't be much weaker than her. It's just... I've always felt that Xiaowan has some... subtle feelings for you. I think she's fallen in love with you!" Ye Feifei said.
Ye Tian was taken aback, not expecting Ye Feifei to say something like that. "Feifei, Qin Xiaowan is beautiful, a goddess in the eyes of many men, but my heart already belongs to someone. It would be hard for me to fall for anyone else. To be honest, I do feel a sense of familiarity and closeness to her, but I only see her as a little sister, you understand?"
Ye Feifei was deeply moved. 'I didn't realize I was so important to him.' A warmth spread through her heart. 'Meeting him was my greatest fortune; loving him is a blessing for a lifetime.'
Overcome with emotion, Ye Feifei leaned against Ye Tian's shoulder. He instinctively wrapped an arm around her, pulling her into his embrace. They held each other quietly, not saying a word.
An unknown amount of time passed before a scorching heat flared up inside Ye Tian's body. 'It's the Pure Yang Qi!' The sudden sensation startled him. This strange energy hadn't manifested in a long time; he never expected it to surface again today.
'I didn't have any improper thoughts when I was holding Feifei just now, so why is this happening?' As the feeling intensified, Ye Tian abruptly pushed her away.
Ye Tian's sudden movement startled Ye Feifei. "Brother Tian, what's wrong?" she asked, confused. 'Everything was fine a moment ago. Why did he push me away? It felt so comfortable and safe in his arms.'
As she spoke, she took a closer look at Ye Tian and saw that his eyes were turning bloodshot. She had seen this happen before. It was a sign of his Pure Yang Qi flaring up.
Her heart skipped a beat. "Your Pure Yang Qi is acting up again? What do we do?"
Ye Tian glanced at Ye Feifei. "I'm fine. Just leave me alone for a little while, and it will pass. Don't worry."
Ye Feifei saw him trying to act casual, but she knew better. 'The more nonchalant he acts, the worse it must be. He just doesn't want to hurt me... or put me in an awkward position.'
"I'm not leaving," Ye Feifei said softly, a blush rising on her exquisite face. "I'm your woman now. If you're in trouble, of course I have to help you. Please don't send me away, Brother Tian."
'Ye Tian felt torn. He and Ye Feifei had already been intimate. It wasn't that he was trying to be a saint; they had done it once before, and they were deeply in love. A second time would be perfectly natural.'
'The problem was this Pure Yang Qi. Once it flared, he couldn't control himself. He had no idea how wild he might become.'
"Feifei, this isn't fair to you. I really don't want to hurt you," Ye Tian said, his voice strained. He was holding back, pushed to the very limit of his self-control.
"No. I'm your woman, and I can't bear to see you in pain," Ye Feifei said, her voice gentle and her face turning an even deeper shade of red. "Don't send me away, Brother Tian! Let me ease your suffering."
Her words only made the Pure Yang Qi inside him rage even more fiercely. "Feifei... thank you." After uttering those two words, Ye Tian hesitated no longer. He swept her into his arms and carried her to the bed.
Ye Tian was a man consumed by fire. He quickly shed their clothes, and what followed was a scene not meant for innocent eyes.
As a cooling stream of energy flowed into his body from hers, the scorching heat slowly subsided, and Ye Tian's mind cleared considerably. He hadn't forgotten what the War Dragon Remnant Soul had told him about the benefits of Pure Yang Qi for both partners. He immediately channeled half of their mingled energy into Ye Feifei.
He began to circulate and absorb his half of the energy. Once the last of the scorching heat vanished from his body, he and Ye Feifei plunged into a wild and passionate battle...
After an unknown length of time, their battle finally ceased. They both began circulating the energy within their bodies once more, and soon, both entered a state of Meditation.
Ye Feifei was the first to awaken, a satisfied smile gracing her lips. While the effects weren't as dramatic as the first time, the experience had still advanced her cultivation a small step. She was now at the Middle Stage of the One Vein Eighth Layer.
About two hours later, Ye Tian awoke with a similarly satisfied smile. This time, he had actually broken through directly to the One Vein Ninth Layer. The Dragon Spiritual Power within him had grown stronger once again.
"You should go get cleaned up. You went through a lot for me, Feifei. Thank you," Ye Tian said gently.
"What are you talking about, Brother Tian?" Ye Feifei replied tenderly. "I'm your woman. It's only natural that I do anything for you. There's no need to keep track." She then snuggled against his shoulder like a delicate bird.
They cuddled for a long while before finally separating. After they had both washed up and changed into clean clothes, Ye Feifei seemed even more stunning. Her aura and her features alike had grown more beautiful.
"Brother Tian, I should go back now," Ye Feifei said. "After all, we're not married yet. I can't stay in your room for too long, or it will start a lot of gossip."
Ye Tian nodded and walked Ye Feifei to the door. He then returned to his bed and resumed his Cultivation. 'At the same time, he made a firm decision. He really couldn't allow himself to be so intimate with Feifei again. Otherwise, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences...'
