Chapter 128
By the lake, the boundless spring scenery stretched far and wide. Despite the increasingly intense cold light emitted by the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, much of its extreme cold energy was absorbed into Yang Chen’s body. The primordial fire of the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame burned fiercely, and combined with the scorching, masculine dragon blood within him, a balance was struck between the cold and masculine energies.
In the sky, the phantom images of a dragon and a phoenix intertwined, though the ice phoenix’s image was dim and weak, firmly suppressed by the dragon’s shadow. A series of loud phoenix cries, tinged with sorrow, echoed through the heavens and earth. The miraculous phenomenon of the dragon and phoenix harmonizing lasted for a full five hours before gradually dissipating.
[Ding! The host and Feng Yuwan have harmonized as dragon and phoenix, merging as water and milk, and have plundered 5000 points of Providence Luck from the Son of Desitny, Long Tianyu. The host has gained 5000 VPs!]
The system’s voice rang out. Yang Chen’s expression froze momentarily.
Five thousand villain points. Yu’er, oh Yu’er, your obsession is truly terrifying. This is your mother-in-law, after all. You ignorant child. Fortunately, your father-in-law was here; otherwise, wouldn’t you be beyond redemption?
At this moment, Feng Yuwan had regained her senses. Her eyelashes fluttered lightly, her cheeks and neck flushed a deep red, but she did not open her eyes. Instead, she sat cross-legged on the ground, beginning to refine the immense energy within her. Her aura steadily rose. In just a few days, Feng Yuwan had reached the Third Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm—an achievement that would usually take centuries. Yet she had broken through two stages in just three days, and her aura continued to rise.
Half a month later, Feng Yuwan opened her beautiful eyes. A blue beam of light shot straight into the sky, accompanied by the loud cry of a phoenix. Her long black hair fluttered without wind, and the true energy around her surged, exuding a powerful pressure. Her aura had now reached the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm.
The difference between the Fourth and Third Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm was substantial, despite being only one stage apart. The fourth stage represented the mid-stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, a qualitative leap over the early stage.
During this half-month, Yang Chen had also spent most of his time in seclusion. Although he absorbed a significant amount of energy from the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice, its effect on him was limited. His current cultivation stage was just one step away from breaking through to the Soul Transformation Realm; he could begin the breakthrough at any time if he wished.
“Congratulations, Senior Feng!” Yang Chen said with a smile as Feng Yuwan opened her eyes. “In just over half a month, you’ve advanced from the first stage to the fourth stage of the Soul Transformation Realm! Such rapid cultivation speed makes even this junior feel a bit envious!”
Feng Yuwan glanced at him, snorted coldly, and then stood up. After reaching the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, her demeanor had become even more aloof and noble. Her tall, voluptuous figure was more graceful and alluring. Her previously messy black hair was now neatly arranged into a bun, revealing her long, snow-white neck. Yang Chen’s gaze swept over her, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He couldn’t help but admit that Feng Yuwan now looked more like a city lord.
Suddenly, Feng Yuwan slashed towards him with a sword aura. The sword aura was as cold as snow, filling the air with chilling energy. The sharp sword intent seemed to cut through the small space of this world.
Yang Chen didn’t dodge but instead threw a punch. The extreme cold of the Sacred Lotus of Profound Ice and the scorching dragon blood within him alternated between hot and cold, tempering his physique. His physical cultivation had now reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, just one step away from the Soul Transformation Realm. His punch, infused with the power of the dragon and the Green Lotus Heavenly Flame, shattered the sword aura into countless snowflakes that scattered in all directions.
“Senior Feng, what is this about?” Yang Chen asked playfully, watching her with a leisurely gaze. “You’ve just broken through to the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, and you’re already attacking this junior. Are you planning to burn bridges?”
He wasn’t worried that Feng Yuwan would actually intend to burn bridges. Even though she had reached the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, she still wasn’t his match. After their previous merging, the ice phoenix bloodline in her body had completely submitted to the dragon bloodline. Under these circumstances, Feng Yuwan’s strength at the Fourth Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm would be reduced by at least half when facing him. Moreover, Yang Chen rather hoped that Feng Yuwan would try to burn bridges. That way, he could righteously teach this woman a lesson in how to behave.
“What did you just call me?” Feng Yuwan asked coldly, not striking again.
“What did I call you? Senior Feng, of course! Is there something wrong with that?” Yang Chen replied calmly.
Feng Yuwan’s beautiful eyes grew even colder.
“Yang Chen, if you’re just trying to satisfy your perverted hobbies, then stay away from me from now on! My body has already been given to you, and you’ve gotten what you wanted! From now on, we’re even!” She turned around, her back to him.
“Perverted hobbies?” Yang Chen pondered for a moment, but soon, he understood. The corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile. He realized why this woman had suddenly attacked him—it was because of how he addressed her. Senior Feng. Heh. Women, it seems, are all the same.
Yang Chen walked up behind Feng Yuwan, reached out his arms, and embraced her slender waist. Although her body felt cold to the touch, it was incredibly soft and elastic.
“Yang Chen, you! Let go of me!” Feng Yuwan’s delicate body trembled as she spoke coldly. She struggled a bit, but without using her true energy.
“Is it because I called you Senior Feng that you’re upset? Heh, then tell me, how should I address you? Wan’er, is that okay?” Yang Chen whispered softly into her ear. His warm breath brushed against her skin, causing her pale complexion beneath her black hair to flush red. Her tense body gradually softened, and finally, she stopped resisting, letting Yang Chen hold her in his arms.
