Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Yang exhaled a long breath as he withdrew from his cultivation.

Three days have passed since he returned to Earth, and he has not left his room once during this time.

Even so, he knew how intense the discussions about them outside had become.

Even setting aside other factors, let's just say that Xia Lian came from a shattered spacetime in the sky.

The overwhelming imperial might completely terrified the entire world, enough to instill fear in mortals that they could never forget.

The sensation and impact of this cannot be explained in just a few words.

If the Great Xia government had not taken ruthless measures, the world might have descended into chaos and order would have collapsed.

Of course, these are not things that Su Yang should worry about.

She looked down at the slender hand resting on her thigh, gently stroking it.

Su Yang then turned his head to look at Xia Lian, who was lying to the side.

Three days ago, after they returned to this residence, Xia Lian began to harass him day and night, seemingly out of control.

At first, the other person was somewhat restrained, and apart from insisting on sleeping in the same room with him, they were relatively well-behaved.

But by nightfall, she stopped pretending and her true colors were revealed.

For example, right now, he had just exited his cultivation state when the other party approached him.

What do you want to do?

Su Yang asked with a cold frown.

Xia Lian didn't care at all. She slowly got up and leaned against him.

"think."

As she spoke, she exhaled a delicate fragrance of orchids, which brushed against Su Yang's ear.

"I have no interest in playing these vulgar jokes with you."

Su Yang's expression grew even colder.

"But Wan'er, you can understand, can't you?"

Xia Lian chuckled softly.

She didn't care whether Su Yang would play this kind of game with her or not; as long as Su Yang could understand it, she would find it very interesting.

"Xia Lian, you've really gone too far."

He was standing by the bed in an instant, then pointed to the door and said, "Get out!"

I've lost count of how many times I've called Xia Lian by her given name.

Once this happens once, it will happen again.

But Xia Lian didn't care at all. She stood up, grabbed Su Yang's hand, and held it in her palm.

She wasn't afraid of making Su Yang angry.

Rather, the more exasperated Su Yang became, the more excited she became.

"Alright, don't be angry anymore. Come, sit next to your master, be good."

They coaxed Su Yang like a child.

He then patted the seat next to him, signaling him to sit down.

But Su Yang didn't move; he just stared at her expressionlessly.

This immediately made Xia Lian laugh out loud, and then she pretended to be sad and said, "I originally felt a little sorry for you, Wan'er, because you have always been using the 'True Technique of Sunset Glow'."

But it seems you're really enjoying it.

"Then it seems I have no choice but to let you have your way."

As she spoke, Xia Lian lay back down and stared intently at the ceiling.

He seemed to have originally intended to pass on the teachings, but since Su Yang was unwilling, he gave up.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yang was startled after hearing Xia Lian's words.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Xia Lian intended to teach her advanced techniques.

The opponent is a sacred artifact, the stabilizing force of the Northern Border of Zixiao. One can imagine how powerful the cultivation techniques she imparts will be!

But he could also tell that Xia Lian wouldn't give him the method so easily.

At least, they wouldn't give him the method without asking for any benefits...

Ultimately, Su Yang, tempted by the powerful cultivation technique, slowly sat down next to his master.

Seeing that he had come closer on his own initiative, Xia Lian immediately smiled at him.

Then, without teasing him any further, she said directly, "Wan'er, you should understand that there is no such thing as a free lunch."

Even if I am your master, I cannot be unconditionally kind to you.

This is also detrimental to your cultivation.

When Xia Lian said these words, her expression was so serious that Su Yang almost didn't recognize her.

If it weren't for knowing her ulterior motives, one might actually have been fooled by her.

Sure enough, Xia Lian placed her hand on Su Yang's leg again before continuing, "Do you understand what Master means?"

To gain something, you must give something in return.

This is a truth that will never change throughout history.

"What do you think, Wan'er?"

Su Yang remained silent upon hearing this; of course he understood this principle.

However, he didn't think Xia Lian was qualified to talk to him about this.

"Never mind then."

He got out of bed again and walked straight to the door without hesitation.

Xia Lian was left alone on the bed, looking at him with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Wan'er? Aren't you going to learn?"

But Su Yang seemed not to hear it.

Xia Lian didn't expect Su Yang to be so tough; she actually understood Xu Wan's personality.

When it comes to becoming stronger, Xu Wan is just as determined as anyone else.

In Xia Lian's view, she had offered such a temptation that her Wan'er would not refuse her.

Besides, she didn't intend to do anything to the other party.

I just wanted to relive that kiss one more time.

After the first and second time, she had no reason to refuse her.

But Su Yang's performance clearly made Xia Lian realize that she was wrong.

Even after the first two times, the other party wouldn't let her succeed so easily again.

Biting her lip, Xia Lian watched as Su Yang left the room without looking back, and then closed the door behind her.

Xia Lian really wanted to grab Su Yang and bring him back, then pin him to the bed and ignore his feelings, but she ultimately gave up on that plan.
