In the girl's boudoir.
"You actually told my father that you wanted to attack the Soul Clan... that's too crazy. Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Xun'er was still shaken.
The conversation between Xiao Li and Gu Yuan just now was too shocking.
A few words decided that they could move against the Soul Clan—of course, on the premise that Xiao Li could bring a few more Nine-Star Dou Shengs.
"Otherwise, should we wait for the Soul Clan to make a move on us? For this kind of thing, it's always best to strike first."
Xiao Li said with a smile.
"It's a pity that I'm only a Two-Star Dou Sheng now, and I can't keep up with Brother Xiao Li's pace anymore." Xun'er looked a bit disappointed.
She always wanted to follow behind Xiao Li, hoping to help him.
As a result, the distance between them grew further and further.
"Silly girl, you don't need to keep up with my pace. It's enough to have me shield you from the wind and rain." Xiao Li pinched the girl's cheek.
"But I also want to fight alongside Brother Xiao Li." Xun'er was a little unwilling.
"You really want to fight alongside me? Well, there's a way." A mischievous smile suddenly appeared at the corner of Xiao Li's mouth.
"What way?"
So, Xiao Li whispered a few words into her ear.
Xun'er's cheeks immediately flushed crimson: "R-really? Brother Xiao Li, how could you... have such an evil cultivation technique."
"If it harms one party, then it's an evil cultivation technique. My technique only has benefits and no drawbacks, so it's not an evil cultivation technique."
"So, Xun'er, let's cultivate together."
Xiao Li smiled mischievously, and without giving the girl time to think, he kissed her.
"Mmm~"
Xun'er didn't refuse; instead, she closed her eyes and carefully felt it.
She and Xiao Li had already done the most intimate things, so she naturally wouldn't refuse now.
It was just that a young girl's heart was still prone to shyness.
"Xun'er, your lips are so soft."
"D-don't say things like that..."
The girl was so shy that even her voice softened.
"Then I won't speak; I'll just take action."
Xiao Li smiled mischievously, and his hands began to bravely climb the two visible mountains.
Although Xun'er had already experienced it once, it was only once.
She was still very shy now, not daring to look Xiao Li directly in the face.
Until,
"Hot..."
She hugged Xiao Li tightly... The efficacy of the Dragon Phoenix Art would not weaken as one's cultivation level increased.
Coupled with the fact that Xun'er and Xiao Li both possessed the Dou Di Bloodline, the effect was even better.
After a round of activity, Xun'er successfully broke through from Two-Star Dou Sheng to Four-Star Dou Sheng!
Although it wasn't that exaggerated,
at the Dou Sheng level, rising two stars at once was a quite astonishing breakthrough.
Xun'er was also incredibly surprised,
"I actually broke through..."
This seemed even simpler than her own cultivation.
"Now do you believe me? I won't lie to you."
"Let's strike while the iron is hot and try to break through another star today."
Xiao Li pulled Xun'er, who had just caught her breath, back.
"Brother Xiao Li, w-wait a minute!"
Xun'er quickly called out to him, her face still flushed, shyly murmuring,
"Can you... go a little slower? I'm afraid..."
"Okay."
Xiao Li agreed immediately.
Although he said so, when the time came, he would still speed up.
Inside the room, the spring scenery continued... Xiao Li stayed in the Ancient Realm for five days.
During these ten days, he basically only did one thing—helping Xun'er raise her cultivation.
He did almost nothing else.
And the people of the Gu Clan saw them being so open about it, and no one objected.
Now that even Gu Yuan had agreed to them being together, who else would dare to object?
Moreover, even setting aside Gu Yuan's opinion, Xiao Li's strength as a Nine-Star Dou Sheng was evident, and no one else dared to utter a peep.
And with the efforts of Xiao Li and Xun'er,
finally, Xun'er successfully reached the early stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng!
The upper limit of the Dragon Phoenix Art was very high.
In addition, Xun'er's own Dou Di Bloodline was very high, so she naturally broke through faster.
Five days, breaking through from One-Star Dou Sheng to Nine-Star Dou Sheng.
If word got out, probably no one would believe it.
During this period, Gu Yuan also successfully ferreted out Gu Yang, the Gu Clan's mole.
As for Xun'er's breakthrough, only Gu Yuan knew about it.
This was a huge joyous occasion for the Gu Clan.
But this also concerned the major matter of attacking the Soul Clan, so it could not be known by too many people for now.
If the people of the Soul Clan knew that the Gu Clan had an additional Nine-Star Dou Sheng, they would definitely take more precautions.
Therefore, Xun'er was now a secret asset of the Gu Clan and could not be revealed publicly... After Xiao Li helped Xun'er reach Nine-Star Dou Sheng, he didn't stay too long and rushed back to Starfall Pavilion without stopping.
Because he had promised Gu Yuan to bring a few more Nine-Star Dou Shengs from Starfall Pavilion so that the chances of success in attacking the Soul Clan would be greater.
Although Xun'er was also a Nine-Star Dou Sheng now, she was strictly speaking a member of the Gu Clan, not Starfall Pavilion, so she didn't count.
Returning to Starfall Pavilion.
Xiao Li immediately gathered all the core figures and told them about the preparations for a very likely war with the Soul Clan.
When they heard this news, many people were surprised,
"War with the Soul Clan? Our current strength isn't enough, is it?" Yao Lao was the first to raise a question.
Among those present, besides Xiao Li, he was the one who knew the most about the Soul Clan's strength.
They were the most mysterious race among the eight ancient clans; even the Gu Clan might not be confident in defeating them.
Now Xiao Li actually said that their small Starfall Pavilion was going to attack the Soul Clan?
He must be crazy!
"Don't worry, I will naturally have helpers. For now, I'm just telling you to be prepared."
"Without sufficient confidence, I wouldn't let everyone die in vain."
Xiao Li appeased them,
"You all go prepare first. I'll tell you when the time comes."
Although Yao Lao and the others were very puzzled,
what Xiao Li said did have credibility, and in the end, they went down with half-belief and half-doubt.
"Scale, Little Fairy Doctor, Green Scale, the three of you come with me."
Xiao Li specifically called the three of them away.
In the current Starfall Pavilion, the only ones who had a chance to reach Nine-Star Dou Sheng in a short time were the three of them...
"Xiao Li, why did you call us?" Medusa asked.
"It's still about what I just said about preparing to attack the Soul Clan."
"Our current strength at Starfall Pavilion is definitely not enough; we need a few more powerful helpers."
"I am a Nine-Star Dou Sheng now, so I need to turn you all into Nine-Star Dou Shengs as well," Xiao Li said.
"Turn us into Nine-Star Dou Shengs too? How could you..." Medusa's words stopped halfway.
Others didn't understand.
But as Xiao Li's women, they naturally knew what methods Xiao Li had.
"The three of you have the highest cultivation levels right now, and you are the last hope to quickly reach Nine-Star Dou Sheng, understand?"
Little Fairy Doctor and Green Scale, who were beside him, blushed slightly,
"Then, the Queen's cultivation is the highest, so let the Queen go first."
At this moment, they actually started to defer to each other.
"Since my cultivation is the highest, then I'm not in a hurry," Medusa also began to defer.
Cultivating the Dragon Phoenix Art was such a thing.
If Xiao Li had approached them individually, they would certainly have been very happy.
Now that all three girls were present, it made them a bit shy.
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Li's mouth: "No need to be so troublesome, let's do it together."
