"Hello." Meng Hongchen smiled very gently.
Having shed the identity of a love rival, she suddenly felt the other person looked much more pleasing to the eye.
And, Master, Mistress.
Hmph, hmph~
Miss Meng felt as if she had taken a step ahead in some aspects.
The young girl's thin cherry lips curved into a beautiful arc.
"Little Meng, please take Ye Guyi. I'm not very comfortable with some private aspects of a girl's life." After giving instructions, An Zhen left. Both his mind and body were mature, so he had to be mindful of privacy. Although he harbored special feelings for this angel girl, he couldn't be too hasty. Having lived alone until this age, Ye Guyi was different from Huo Yutong, who was weak, fragile, and lacked love at the time.
Hmm, I suddenly miss Yu Tong.
Unfortunately, even the arrangements Gu Yuena left on the Golden Dragon Spear couldn't achieve real-time communication.
"You're called Ye Guyi, right?" With her silver hair flowing, Meng Hongchen took a step forward, composed and graceful, seemingly wanting to display a bit of an elder's demeanor.
"Yes." The angel girl nodded slightly.
Ye Guyi was a bit puzzled.
As the lover of a Limit Douluo, her Mistress's spirit power fluctuations didn't seem very high.
Stronger than her, but only by a limited amount.
Moreover, the Mistress, like the Master, was very young.
She felt about the same age as her.
Does the Master like young girls? Not yet thirty, Master also seemed to be a young man.
An Zhen returned to his room.
A somewhat unrestrained figure came into view.
Her purplish-red hair was casually draped, her originally precious and luxurious ornaments were carelessly tossed on the table, and her bright yellow robe was thrown onto a nearby chair.
"You really are not polite, huh." An Zhen's face showed a hint of helplessness. Xu Tianzhen's sudden contrast was truly quite significant.
Yesterday's Xu Tianzhen.
Her bright yellow robe neatly worn, her legs together, a pair of small feet in white socks dangling in the air, looking like a well-behaved girl.
Today's Xu Tianzhen.
Her robe removed, her upper body was a white short-sleeved shirt embroidered with clouds. The loose clothing covered her petite body, creating a small curve. Below, she wore black shorts that just reached her knees. The entire person was sprawled on the sofa without any Empress image, looking decadent and lazy. A pair of delicate, jade-like feet, with some water stains and having been washed, were propped on the table. A section of her fair, tender, straight calves was exposed to the air, looking very white and attracting attention.
"Didn't you say I could be a little unrestrained?" Her clear, watery eyes glanced at An Zhen, then looked at the ceiling, but the corner of her eye secretly lingered on An Zhen's body. "Anyway, this is how I usually am at home."
Etiquette had never constrained this little princess, who had once been doted on by the entire imperial family.
"Mm." An Zhen surprisingly had no reaction to this, which was beyond Xu Tianzhen's expectation.
"Then so be it." An Zhen's gaze moved down from Xu Tianzhen's fair calves, finally resting on the pair of delicate, jade-like feet propped on the edge of the table.
"Washed?"
"Washed." Xu Tianzhen was puzzled.
Why ask that?
Shouldn't he be telling her to put her feet down?
"It's reasonable to put clean food on the table," An Zhen said.
Xu Tianzhen:?
What clean food?
Xu Tianzhen had received normal puberty education.
But the Sun Moon Empire apparently hadn't included certain male human preferences in it.
An Zhen walked forward.
He cleaned the dust off himself in the Virtual World.
He reached out.
Xu Tianzhen's fair wrist was held by An Zhen, and his other hand wrapped around her slender waist. With a gentle pull, a petite body fell into An Zhen's arms.
"What do you want to do?!" Days of contact and her good behavior prevented Xu Tianzhen from subconsciously resisting An Zhen's actions. Her small hands pushed against An Zhen's chest, and a layer of mist instantly appeared in her eyes. "You said you wouldn't force me."
"Just a hug, no doing that kind of thing." Holding the petite Xu Tianzhen in his arms, she was soft and small. The unique fragrance of a young girl lingered at his nose. Feeling the softness in his embrace, An Zhen's heart was beautiful and calm.
An Zhen had never snuggled a cat.
But petite and cute girls are really great!
'Just a hug?' Xu Tianzhen's strength pushing An Zhen's chest suddenly lessened a bit.
No choice.
Xu Tianzhen was very clear about the disparity between them.
Her struggle was merely to add to this guy's amusement.
"This way, it's not impossible." Gritting her silver teeth, Xu Tianzhen felt it was acceptable.
She had been held and placed on his lap many times before.
But this time, the hug lasted a little longer.
"Hmph~"
Xu Tianzhen turned her face away.
A pair of fair, jade-like feet remained in the air.
Go on, hug.
Just hug.
Just like holding a large doll, I won't give you any reaction anyway.
This was Xu Tianzhen's silent resistance.
An Zhen, as usual, sat on the sofa holding Xu Tianzhen, but previously, the girl's back would lean against his embrace; this time, she was facing him, nestled in his arms.
He closed his eyes to rest.
Virtual World.
"Let's organize things first."
An Zhen prepared to organize what he had learned that Ye Guyi could use. The Cultivation game had begun.
Reality.
Xu Tianzhen closed her eyes tightly.
As if fearing or resisting something that was about to come.
She waited for a long time.
But did not feel what she had expected.
Xu Tianzhen secretly opened her eyes. The girl, tightly embraced by An Zhen, lifted her head and saw An Zhen, who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed.
'When you hold a girl in your arms, isn't the next step to reach out and play around dishonestly?' Xu Tianzhen remembered occasionally seeing her imperial father and imperial brothers do this to women dressed in revealing clothes.
'He's still quite honest.'
"Too small."
A voice suddenly sounded.
Xu Tianzhen was of the petite type.
Certain parts were truly "lacking" compared to women of the same age.
His Yu Tong was also not tall, but after sufficient nutritional improvement and still being in the growing stage, some female characteristics had continued to develop, catching up with women of the same age.
As for Xu Tianzhen.
As the most favored little princess, how could she possibly be malnourished?
"You… you!"
Xu Tianzhen's small face instantly turned crimson, and she immediately showed a fierce, childish expression, revealing her fair little canine teeth. "If you dislike it, then don't hug me!"
"Each has its own merits, each has its own advantages," An Zhen said.
Both the Great Thunderclap Temple and the Small Thunderclap Temple have their own believers.
"However, since Your Majesty has said so, how can this subject disappoint Your Majesty?" A large hand that was originally on Xu Tianzhen's back slid downwards.
Conquering Xu Tianzhen was different from others.
If it could be quantified, Xu Tianzhen's initial favorability towards him should be very low, even negative. Normally, if their encounters were swapped, An Zhen believed that if he encountered such a situation, and if he had the power to resist, he would at least stab the other party a few times.
An Zhen played with the girl's jade-like feet.
"Bad guy." An unusual sensation came from her feet, being held by one hand and lying on An Zhen's body. Except for her underwear, most areas were only separated by the two not-too-thick short-sleeved shirts they were wearing. In such close proximity, Xu Tianzhen could even feel An Zhen's body temperature.
Very hot.
Because of the circulating, immeasurably vast blood energy beneath his skin.
'It's quite warm.' For Xu Tianzhen, who possessed a Sun Spirit almost on par with Extreme Fire, this temperature, not much higher than normal body temperature, was nothing. The key was the alien scent that almost enveloped all her sensory organs, and the unprecedented intimacy with the opposite sex. A strange feeling grew in her heart, and the little Empress only felt her body temperature also rising.
Intimate contact is a very good way to increase favorability.
Because when the other party gradually accepts this behavior, from a certain perspective, it can be considered as accepting you, and it will eventually leave a special impression in the other person's heart.
It's just that casually trying it will most likely be treated as a hooligan.
But An Zhen's current situation was different.
To a certain extent, the involvement of threats was added here.
"You're currently at rank forty-nine." An Zhen suddenly broke the silence. "How much longer until rank fifty?"
"Half a month, I think," the red-faced Xu Tianzhen said.
"Open your mouth," An Zhen said.
"?" Xu Tianzhen opened her cherry lips in confusion.
The girl's lips were very tempting.
The moist darkness evoked a strong desire for exploration.
"A kiss?" An Zhen, who had originally intended to feed her something, suddenly changed his words and said tentatively.
"Ugh." Xu Tianzhen's eyes became clouded with mist, as if clear liquid would flow out at any moment.
"Never mind." An Zhen gave up.
If he wanted Xu Tianzhen's body, no one could stop him. Simply put, by threatening the Old Emperor, Xu Tianzhen herself would have to offer herself up.
But An Zhen wanted a heart as well.
Moreover, the education he had received did not allow him to do such immoral and inhumane things.
Originally, there was no deep hatred between the two sides. As the victor of the "war," he could cut off the loser's head.
But he could not humiliate the other party like an animal.
It wasn't about not extending harm to family, but rather a civilized person's moral compass.
Xu Tianzhen reached out her small hand to wipe away the tears that almost flowed out.
She found that this trick was particularly effective on An Zhen.
"Eat this, and you'll be close to Spirit King. Then I'll take you and Ye Guyi to get your fifth spirit ring." Releasing Xu Tianzhen, An Zhen took out a thumb-sized, fire-red, translucent gel-like substance.
"What?"
Xu Tianzhen's gaze was instantly drawn to it.
When she saw that object, Xu Tianzhen felt a flame ignite in her heart. She really, really wanted to eat it. Her Spirit's instinct drove Xu Tianzhen.
"A good thing that can turn your Spirit into Extreme Fire," An Zhen said.
Converting now, although the subsequent cultivation stages of Spirit King and Spirit Emperor would be slow, doing so would make later conditioning very simple. There was no Golden Tree here that could mimic environments extremely suitable for various Spirits. Should Xu Tianzhen continuously seclude herself in the Virtual World for several months without eating or drinking? It would be better to cultivate in the Virtual World after upgrading to Extreme Fire.
That's truly outrageous.
Although it was said to be nearly identical, the Sun wasn't even Extreme Fire.
Leaving aside physics, the Sun's surface temperature alone is terrifyingly high.
From a fantasy perspective, the Sun also symbolizes spreading vitality and light. In any World, it is an extremely powerful existence; adding an Extreme Light wouldn't be excessive.
"Extreme Fire?" Xu Tianzhen was surprised.
The Spirit Master knowledge of the Sun Moon Empire was only backward, not nonexistent.
She understood this aspect.
"Can the quality of a Spirit be improved acquiredly?" The girl was puzzled. Although you are a top student from Shrek Academy, you can't fool me. However, feeling the desire from her Spirit that she had never felt before, Xu Tianzhen felt that what An Zhen said was very likely true.
"As long as it's compatible, or if the used item is very powerful, it's all possible," An Zhen said.
For example, a type of existence called Dragon Girls.
This doesn't refer to pure-blooded female true dragons like Gu Yuena, but rather human females with dragon characteristics and bloodlines. By combining with them, one can seize the dragon bloodline within their bodies, allowing some lower-quality Spirits to undergo beneficial mutations. However, this has little effect on high-level Spirits. As ancient survivors, by the time they reached this era, there wasn't much dragon bloodline left in their bodies. Essentially, it's also about improvement through dragon blood. Spirit Masters can also directly bathe in and absorb true dragon blood, but doing that kind of thing makes absorption more convenient and safer. It can only be said that the dragon bloodline is indeed very powerful and highly corrosive.
Although a Spirit is a manifestation of the soul.
In fact, the easiest way to change a Spirit is to start from the bloodline, as this is also inherited through bloodline, especially for Beast Spirits. The most common families or Sects connected by bloodline in the Spirit Master's World are Beast Spirits.
"Give it to me!" Xu Tianzhen demanded.
"Isn't Your Majesty going to be a little more reserved?"
"All these twists and turns." Xu Tianzhen didn't like it this way. "You just said you were going to give it to me to eat, unless you're playing a trick on me."
"Besides." The petite Empress put her hands on her hips, looking at An Zhen with a resentful gaze. "I'm your puppet now, and you've taken all my family's treasures."
What reserve?
Xu Tianzhen wished she could bankrupt this guy.
"What I said I'd give you, I'll naturally give you." An Zhen blinked, his tone seemingly coaxing, "Since Your Majesty cares so much about me taking your family's treasures, why doesn't Your Majesty marry me? That way, what's mine wouldn't it be yours?"
"No way!" Xu Tianzhen was fiercely childish.
Although her fate was sealed the moment the other party harbored such thoughts, Xu Tianzhen felt that such matters should be delayed as much as possible.
"Do you take me for an idiot? What you said is one perspective, but if you look at it from another angle, after you snatched my family's treasures, if I did that, wouldn't I be throwing myself in as well?!"
She used to be just rebellious, not a fool.
"Hard to fool, huh," An Zhen sighed.
"I wouldn't be the kind of woman who deliberately plays dumb in front of a man," Xu Tianzhen said, hands on her hips.
"No need for that, just be yourself." An Zhen handed over the crimson gel. "It's yours."
An Zhen had never regarded his girls as his subordinates.
They were themselves, possessing unique and dazzling brilliance, and should not be replaced by the four words 'An Zhen's girlfriend.'
Good young people of the new era dislike the dregs of feudal thought.
Everyone grows together, becomes a better version of themselves, and reaches the peak together. That's what An Zhen wanted to see.
"Really giving it?" Xu Tianzhen looked at An Zhen in surprise.
So generous?
"I even gave the Ye Guyi I just met a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone." An Zhen said with a smile, his gaze falling on the girl's cherry lips. "If Your Majesty feels bad, then give this subject a kiss."
"Dream on."
Xu Tianzhen swallowed the crimson gel in one bite.
I'll eat this guy into poverty!
