However, in any case, if Gongsun Yi could break through to the Divine Realm, it would be a good thing for Chen Xiao.

In that way, the power protecting Shanhai One Residence would be increased by another point.

After chatting for a few more words, Chen Xiao bid farewell and left.

Although he didn't get any particularly clear information from Gongsun Yi, he could see the big picture from the small details.

Chen Xiao at least knew that in this world, there were still many extraordinary martial artists.

And from this, it could also be inferred that there might be other demon cultivators, ghost cultivators, and so on in this world...

And this was not good news for Chen Xiao.

Because it meant that the difficulty of him guarding this dragon vein had invisibly increased.

It's hard to say that if those people knew there was a hidden dragon vein here, they wouldn't develop covetous intentions.

Chen Xiao vaguely felt that this trip to the Temple of the Gods would give him answers to many questions in his mind, and he became even more expectant of it.

It was already very late when Chen Xiao returned to his room, and Li Ziqing had even fallen asleep.

She was wearing a complete set of sexy lingerie, obviously prepared for Chen Xiao, but Chen Xiao had missed it...

In order not to wake Li Ziqing, Chen Xiao tiptoed to lie down next to her.

Despite the light movement, Li Ziqing still woke up.

Her long eyelashes fluttered twice before she opened her eyes, drowsy.

"Chen Xiao... you're back..."

Li Ziqing wasn't fully awake, and said vaguely.

"Yeah, you go back to sleep."

Chen Xiao said softly.

Li Ziqing hummed, closed her eyes, changed into a comfortable position, and snuggled up next to Chen Xiao.

"Hold me..."

She said as if in a dream.

Chen Xiao reached out and put this soft, fragrant jade into his arms, and a happy expression suddenly appeared on Li Ziqing's face.

After a few minutes, Chen Xiao thought Li Ziqing had fallen asleep, but then Li Ziqing groped and grabbed his big hand, placing it in front of her lingerie.

Just as Chen Xiao's face was full of question marks, Li Ziqing parted her red lips and uttered two words that almost made Chen Xiao explode.

"R柔 me…" (Rourou me - meaning "caress me" but with more intimate connotations)

Heavenly thunder met earthly fire, and it was unstoppable!

After tossing around for most of the night, Li Ziqing was finally exhausted.

But she was also completely sleepless, lying on Chen Xiao's chest and whispering sweet nothings to him.

"Chen Xiao, I'm so happy, I want to be like this every day in the future..."

Chen Xiao stroked Li Ziqing's waterfall-like smooth long hair and said, "Me too... but I have to go out to do something tomorrow, and it may take a while before I can come back."

"Hmph, you're going out to do business again, leaving me a widow!"

Li Ziqing pretended to be angry and took a bite on Chen Xiao's chest. Chen Xiao immediately bit back!

"No more, no more, I really can't anymore, I don't have the strength..."

Li Ziqing immediately begged for mercy, raising both hands in surrender.

And this couldn't help but make Chen Xiao talk about the same old thing again, and it was time to put Li Ziqing's cultivation on the agenda.

Although Li Ziqing's body was very healthy, and she practiced fitness and yoga all year round, and could even be described as fit and beautiful by ordinary people's standards.

But in Chen Xiao's eyes, she was undoubtedly too weak.

Even when doing that kind of thing, Chen Xiao had to restrain himself in order to avoid hurting Li Ziqing.

"Ziqing, while we have time tonight, let me help you wash your marrow first."

Chen Xiao tentatively made a suggestion.

The so-called washing of the marrow is to remove impurities from the meridians.

After washing the marrow, the meridians are unobstructed, which is more conducive to the absorption and circulation of spiritual energy.

"Okay..."

Li Ziqing first agreed, and then asked a series of questions worriedly, "How to wash it? What to wash it with? Will it hurt a lot?"

"Don't worry, it's completely painless. You just need to be mentally prepared, and we'll go to the bathroom to start!"

Because during the process of washing the marrow, the impurities and dirt in the meridians will seep out along the skin.

For a delicate little girl like Li Ziqing, it would definitely be embarrassing.

If it is done in the bathtub, this trouble can be avoided to a certain extent.

Chen Xiao filled the bathtub with water and jumped in first.

Then Li Ziqing came over: "Why are you in there too? Do you want to bathe together?"

"If I don't come in, who will help you wash your marrow?"

Chen Xiao was speechless.

Li Ziqing took off all her clothes and got into the bathtub, sitting opposite Chen Xiao.

The scene was sensual, and Li Ziqing's pretty face was flushed, a little embarrassed.

Chen Xiao had a question mark on his face. Women are really strange animals. Just now, she was still enjoying herself under him, but now she was blushing with shame...

But he didn't know that when a woman is not shy in front of him, it also means that their passion has been burned out.

Chen Xiao put away his wandering thoughts and grabbed Li Ziqing's soft little hand.

There are many ways to wash the marrow, it can be done through cultivation, or it can be completed by eating pills.

And the method Chen Xiao chose was undoubtedly the simplest and most direct, that is to directly use spiritual energy to wash Li Ziqing's marrow.

Because the meridians in the human body are intricate and complex, in addition to the twelve main meridians, there are hundreds of small branch meridians.

Using this method to wash the marrow requires a huge amount of spiritual energy and enough patience. For ordinary cultivators, this is an almost impossible task.

But it was nothing to Chen Xiao, not only because the spiritual energy in his body was as vast as the sea, but also because his love for Li Ziqing was enough to support his patience.

That's what Chen Xiao thought before the marrow washing began.

But Chen Xiao didn't expect that he would encounter a tricky problem as soon as the marrow washing began.

As soon as the spiritual energy entered Li Ziqing's meridians, Li Ziqing suddenly shouted and pushed Chen Xiao away: "Ah, no... it hurts!"

"Chen Xiao, you lied to me, it's obviously very painful, but you told me it was completely painless!"

Li Ziqing said with a aggrieved face.

"It shouldn't be, why does it hurt?"

Li Ziqing's reaction made Chen Xiao very puzzled. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any pain at all.

Not only is there no pain, but it will be very comfortable.

"What kind of pain is it?"

"It's like being stabbed with needles inside my body."

Hearing Li Ziqing's answer, Chen Xiao was even more puzzled.

Seeing Chen Xiao frowning, Li Ziqing whispered, "Why don't you try again? Maybe it only hurts a little the first time, and it will be fine later..."

Chen Xiao: "..."

What do you think marrow washing is? What does this have to do with the number of times?

But Chen Xiao decided to try again to see what was going on.

After sitting down, Chen Xiao grabbed Li Ziqing's little hand again, and spiritual energy entered her meridians.

This time, Li Ziqing really didn't cry out in pain, and it went much smoother than last time.

Chen Xiao was dumbfounded. Could it be that, as Li Ziqing said, it only hurt a little the first time, and it would be fine later?

Just as Chen Xiao was wondering, Li Ziqing suddenly flashed with golden light.

Chen Xiao was directly ejected from the bathtub...
