In his heart, Chen Xiao mused, "This Nine-layered Strength technique seems like a Heavenly Peak Martial Technique, but the power stacking is extremely formidable! If I truly cultivate to its ultimate level, who knows how terrifying it could be!"

From the memories left by the Spirit King, Chen Xiao learned that even the Spirit King, who was at Half-Saint Level, had only cultivated this martial technique to the Seventh Layer!

Clearly, the last two layers must be incredibly difficult to cultivate!!

After all, to acquire powerful strength, one’s ability to endure must also be powerful enough, or else, even if the power could amplify four or five times, one would be the first to be torn apart!

Saying and doing, Chen Xiao immediately began cultivating the Nine-layered Strength.

This Nine-layered Strength operates by controlling the force through a specific internal pathway, which, through special methods, explodes with even greater destructive power!

Half a day passed again.

Chen Xiao successfully cultivated to the Third Level of Nine-layered Strength, which is equivalent to re-cultivating to the ultimate level of a Heavenly Grade Supreme Martial Technique in half a day!

If outsiders knew this speed of progress, they might be dumbfounded with shock.

Too terrifying!!

"Based on this pace, truly cultivating to the Fourth Level might take two or three days..." Chen Xiao whispered to himself, "After all, the further along, the harder it is to cultivate, but still, it’s a commendable achievement!"

Just as he wanted to go out for a walk and stretch his muscles, he heard a knock at the door from outside.

"There?!"

It was the voice of the Emperor’s daughter Xiyue.

Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, had Emperor’s daughter Xiyue unprecedentedly sought him out?

"Come in," Chen Xiao spoke.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue walked in wearing a robe from outside, and even this loose robe couldn’t conceal her graceful figure, making Chen Xiao swallow a bit, recalling the intimate moments between them in the secret chamber.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s delicate face carried a cool intent, scanned the room, and then said calmly, "Since you’ve been back, have you been cultivating all this time?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Time is tight, I want to elevate my strength quickly."

He hadn’t forgotten that he came in with a mission.

To get the Netherworld Grass, there will likely be a fierce battle.

Though he got some fortuitous opportunities in the Spirit King’s Ancient Tomb, others couldn’t have been stagnant either!

Based on previous situations, soon, a bunch of martial artists who acquired great opportunities will rise swiftly, making the fights even more brutal!

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was secretly astonished, thinking this guy’s strength isn’t baseless.

She took a deep breath and directly got to the point, "What do you plan for us?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao pondered, "At that time, I’ll personally head to the Great Zhou Imperial Family to propose!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor’s daughter Xiyue shook her head, "It’s not as simple as you think? My Great Zhou Imperial Family has been around for many years, and won’t let me marry out easily, besides, the Royal Family has already set a marriage agreement for me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes slightly narrowed, chuckling, "Then I’ll just take you away directly, wouldn’t that work?"

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was speechless, "Such major forces focus on marital alliances for interests, and the family I’m betrothed to also ranks right behind the Royal Family under Great Zhou’s rule!"

"The Great Zhou Royal Family absolutely won’t allow anyone to ruin this grand wedding."

"Otherwise, you’d face a total disaster."

"So... I’m saying, forget about what’s between us, this colossal entity, the Great Zhou Royal Family, is far beyond your current ability to disrupt!"

Speaking of this, she showed a bit of sadness in her eyes.

Chen Xiao grinned, "You accepted my betrothal gift, now you’re telling me to forget? Moreover, I don’t have the habit of handing over my woman!"

Chen Xiao’s domineering words left Emperor’s daughter Xiyue slightly startled, then blushing, "Who’s your woman? I’ve never admitted it, alright?"

For women who say one thing and mean another, Chen Xiao encountered many, and the simplest way is to ignore their words and conquer them with actions.

So... he directly pulled Emperor’s daughter Xiyue over into his arms.

"You——" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue struggled.

Chen Xiao’s somewhat heated breath fanned onto her face, his eyes fervent, instantly heating up her body.

"You came over this late, you weren’t planning to just talk, right?" Chen Xiao smirked.

"Just as I finished resting, full of energy."

"Let me go!" Emperor’s daughter Xiyue struggled, but her hands exerted little force.

Chen Xiao didn’t hesitate, taking out a Magic Treasure and activating it.

Enveloping the entire room.

This was a Magic Treasure he snatched from the Chaotic Demon Sect, capable of isolating all sounds in a space.

"You——" Sensing what Chen Xiao was about to do, Xiyue’s face burned like fire, her body felt a strange sensation, but thinking of the companions next door, she felt shy and resistant again.

"No way!"

"Don’t worry, I’ve already used the Magic Treasure to isolate all sounds here." Chen Xiao smiled and spoke.

Seeing Emperor’s daughter Xiyue’s slight surprise, he directly began to act.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue struggled continuously, but it was futile, clothes dwindled piece by piece, breathing grew heavy... This guy, why did he feel so practiced?

She was completely led by Chen Xiao.

Quickly, Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was utterly lost, from resistance to active embrace, from reservation to letting go... In the end, she lay drenched in fragrant sweat in Chen Xiao’s arms.

"You pervert!"

Her body was drenched in fragrant sweat, exhausted from Chen Xiao’s antics, she bit her lips, weakly muttered a curse, it seemed more like a spoiled complaint.

Chen Xiao was satisfied, a smile hanging on his lips. Though Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was outwardly aloof, her actions betrayed her true feelings.

Seems like this hurdle has been cleared.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue sighed with relief, grateful she came over in deep night, otherwise, if someone went to her room looking for her, it would be awkward not finding her there.

"I need to leave." Emperor’s daughter Xiyue said gently, "Otherwise, if discovered at dawn, it’ll be troublesome."

Being discovered, she’d be too embarrassed to face anyone!

She forcibly endured the weakness in her body and put on the robe again, yet seeing her torn underclothes, she glared fiercely at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao grinned awkwardly, "The atmosphere built up, it was hard not to get a bit intense..."

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue was helpless.

The matter had already happened, what could she do?

Just as she was about to open the door, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Chen Xiao, open the door."

It was Zi Yuan’s voice.

Though the people outside couldn’t hear the sounds inside, they could sense all movement outside.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue suddenly stood frozen.

How would she get out now?

Wait!

She took a deep breath, her mind suddenly flashed, why would this woman come to find Chen Xiao in the middle of the night?

Chen Xiao was also taken aback.

Looks like this Shura Field couldn’t be avoided.

Emperor’s daughter Xiyue glared coldly at Chen Xiao, "I want to see why she’s here for you, open the door for her!"

After speaking, she flashed away, hiding inside a cupboard in the room.

Like a thief.

Chen Xiao could only brace himself and open the door.

Zi Yuan, with her purple hair cascading casually over her fragrant shoulders, stood prettily at the doorway.

Her appearance lacked the haughty air of a young lady, gaining a touch of worldly sense.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" She frowned slightly with some dissatisfaction.

"Was sleeping just now," Chen Xiao explained.

He was indeed sleeping, but not alone.

Zi Yuan sniffed the air, noticing a faintly odd fragrance, "What’s this smell, so strange, and seems like there’s a woman’s scent too?"

Chen Xiao sheepishly touched his nose, saying, "Did you smell it wrong?"

"How could that be? My nose is sharper than a dog’s!" Zi Yuan immediately grew alert, angrily questioning, "Was that fox spirit Xiyue here to find you?"

"Who are you calling a fox spirit?!" Suddenly, Emperor’s daughter Xiyue, who had been hiding, couldn’t hold back and burst out of the cupboard!

In an instant, the two women locked eyes fiercely, the tension and explosive atmosphere instantly filled the room...
