"Xun...Xun'er!?"
Xiao Yan's expression froze, his throat suddenly feeling dry, and he murmured those two words almost like a groan.
A petite figure stepped out!
It was none other than Xiao Xun'er!
She wore a golden robe, leaning lazily against the window frame, her eyes, gleaming with golden flames, indifferently watching Xiao Yan. On her delicate hands, golden flames danced like elves, following eerie paths.
Xiao Yan stared blankly at Xiao Xun'er bathed in moonlight, his gaze slowly moving until it lingered on her indifferent, exquisite face.
An involuntary intoxication surfaced in his eyes. Even though the atmosphere was awkward, faced with the girl's almost flawless beauty and ethereal, otherworldly aura, Xiao Yan couldn't help but be somewhat lost in thought.
After two rounds of bone marrow nourishment, Xiao Xun'er's aura had become even more extraordinary!
However, after a moment of distraction, Xiao Yan abruptly retreated!
The spot where he had just stood was now occupied by a ball of golden flame!
"You should know how rude it is to trespass into a girl's room!"
Xiao Xun'er's suddenly cold face plunged Xiao Yan into despair.
So powerful!
Xiao Yan's heart pounded wildly!
If he had reacted even a fraction slower, he would have been engulfed by that golden flame and reduced to ashes!
"But...but Xiao Bai came in too, you..."
Before Xiao Yan could finish speaking, another ball of golden flame hurtled towards him, causing him to retreat in fright!
"I only saw you."
"If you don't leave Jade Immortal Pavilion, even if you are the son of the Xiao Clan Chief, Xun'er will not be polite!"
Qiu Shui's eyes narrowed slightly, and Xun'er took a step forward, her figure hovering in mid-air. A spiral of pale golden flame spikes rapidly condensed in her slender hand.
"Xun'er, you must believe me, I will prove this to you!" Xiao Yan said gently.
Then, he resolutely turned and left the Jade Immortal Pavilion.
...
After leaving the Jade Immortal Pavilion,
Xiao Yan went directly to Xiao Bai's residence, intending to teach Xiao Bai a lesson, but he was stunned by what he saw.
A vast expanse of golden blood energy surged around Xiao Bai.
Boundless golden light burst forth from Xiao Bai's body, and his aura rapidly increased.
A nine-colored lotus flower emerged from beneath Xiao Bai's feet, supporting his true form and making him appear like the son of an emperor.
In that simple room, auspicious energy seemed to solidify, hanging like a silver river.
"So strong!" Xiao Yan muttered to himself, his eyes glazed.
He hadn't expected Xiao Bai to be such a master of feigning weakness!
Luckily, he hadn't acted impulsively, or he would have been the one getting beaten up.
After some thought, Xiao Yan clenched his fists and left unwillingly.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, I, Xiao Yan, will surely wash away today's shame!"
...
Time flies.
Tonight, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
Xiao Bai skillfully traversed the palace grounds, arriving at the Jade Immortal Pavilion in a short while.
He glanced at the dog hole not far away, then leaped over the wall and entered the Jade Immortal Pavilion.
"Today is the final nurturing!"
Xiao Bai exclaimed excitedly.
Three years had passed in reality, but each time he fused with the Ancient Sacred Body, he entered the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, so for him, more than a decade had passed.
[Because the fusion speed increased as he progressed, it only took a decade or so.]
By that calculation, he was actually already a teenager.
However, protected by the Heavenly Dao power of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, ordinary people couldn't detect any changes in his physique.
Counting carefully,
he had already nurtured Xiao Xun'er's bones nine hundred and ninety-nine times, and today was the thousandth time.
After this nurturing, he would be able to perfectly fuse with the Ancient Sacred Body!
Without the slightest hesitation, he stepped directly into the wooden house ahead.
Xiao Xun'er, dressed in a white dress, lay quietly on the bed. Her long, black hair cascaded down her sides like a waterfall, each strand glistening and dazzling.
After three years and nearly a thousand sessions of nurturing, Xiao Xun'er had grown even more graceful and elegant, exuding an extraordinary aura.

"Just do it."
Xiao Bai didn't hesitate. Battle aura surged between his palms as he skillfully used the nurturing technique.
...
Ding—
[Congratulations, host! Mission completion progress increased to 100%.]
[You have received the reward: Ancient Sacred Body Fusion 100%.]
Boom!!!
A dazzling pillar of holy light shot into the sky from the Jade Immortal Pavilion, instantly illuminating the entire heavens.
A terrifyingly vast aura instantly enveloped the entire Xiao family!
"What...what happened?"
The three elders stared in astonishment at the direction of the Immortal Palace.
Before they could think further, another change occurred.
"Boom!"
An incomparably extraordinary, holy, and ethereal aura erupted from the Jade Immortal Pavilion. It
was as if the gods had descended upon the world, extremely shocking!
"Xun'er!?"
Xiao Zhan's expression was solemn. His body suddenly disappeared from the spot, and a few breaths later, he appeared in front of the Jade Immortal Pavilion.
The three elders and the others followed closely behind.
Just as everyone was about to rush into the Jade Immortal Pavilion to check the situation, a clear and melodious voice suddenly came from inside.
"Xun'er was practicing her fighting skills when she unexpectedly caused such a commotion. I apologize for disturbing you all."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhan and the others visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Xiao Xun'er was safe and sound, that was all that mattered; otherwise, the Xiao family couldn't bear the consequences.
"I see."
Xiao Zhan smiled slightly and said loudly, "Since Xun'er is alright, then we will not disturb her cultivation any longer."
After speaking, he gestured to the three elders, and everyone left.
However, the terrifying phenomenon from just now still made people's hearts tremble.
"No wonder they are from that place; even practicing a fighting skill can trigger such a phenomenon!"
"If anyone can win Xun'er's heart, they will probably soar to the heavens."
...
At the same time.
In a corner of the Jade Immortal Pavilion.
Xiao Bai stood there trembling, because on the bed in front of him, Xiao Xun'er had already gotten up and was staring at him like a predator eyeing its prey.
The faint smile playing on his lips gave Xiao Bai an overwhelming sense of threat.
He was doomed!
Caught red-handed!
Xiao Bai's composure crumbled!
He never imagined that the moment the Ancient Sacred Body fully fused would trigger such a powerful phenomenon.
It not only woke Xiao Xun'er but also startled Xiao Zhan and the others.
Fortunately, Xiao Xun'er spoke up in time to calm them down; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
But now that Xiao Zhan and the others had left, it was Xiao Xun'er's turn to settle scores with him!
If Xiao Xun'er were to act out of rage and order Ling Ying to kill him, it would be a matter of a snap of her fingers.
After all, Ling Ying was an eight-star Dou Huang powerhouse!
"Xun'er..." Xiao Bai murmured.
"Brother Xiao Bai, you...you have to take responsibility for this."
Xiao Xun'er smiled gently, took out a small rubber band and put it on Xiao Bai's wrist, murmuring shyly, "From now on, you can't do this to anyone else..."
Just as she finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Xiao Bai's mind.
[Ding! Help Ya Fei complete one Kun Character Technique nurturing session, time limit!]
