After returning from the Tianjiao Tournament.

Xiao Yanran went into seclusion in my world to attempt to break through to the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage.

"Congratulations, Madam!"

Gao Yan opened his arms, and Xiao Yanran threw herself into his embrace, pressing her cheek against his chest and wrapping her arms around his waist: "Husband, I missed you!"

"My dear wife, I've missed you too. You've been cultivating diligently for so long, so let me reward you first!"

As he spoke, Gao Yan picked up the other person's soft body and strode into the bedchamber.

That night.

The two walked hand in hand into the restaurant, and then Qin Xiangxue instructed the staff to bring out a series of delicious dishes.

"Oh, my husband, the chefs in our household have improved their culinary skills a lot during my seclusion!"

After tasting several dishes, Xiao Yanran could clearly feel that the food tonight was exceptionally delicious.

"Ha ha!"

Gao Yan laughed and said, "This is a new cook that Xiangxue has hired. You're in for a treat!"

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiangxue!"

Xiao Yanran turned to Qin Xiangxue and said.

"Madam, it's no trouble at all, it's all what I should do!"

For the next period of time, Gao Yan and Xiao Yanran spent all their time together.

However, after only a few days, she asked Gao Yan to send her into my world, because even though she had reached the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, she was still quite far behind Gao Yan.

We need to work harder!

More than half a month later, Gao Yan's body trembled slightly, and his cultivation naturally advanced to the third level of the Dao Integration Realm.

Just then.

A loud voice came from down the mountain.

"Gao Yan, do you dare to come out and fight me!"

With a sweep of his divine sense, Gao Yan discovered that the one who had come to challenge him was actually Ye Ming!

This guy's cultivation has indeed improved quite quickly; he has already reached the eighth level of Foundation Establishment. It seems he really is the protagonist!

"Your Highness, I'll go and get rid of this person!"

Qin Xiangxue said.

"No need, I'll go see him!"

With a swift movement, Gao Yan appeared at the foot of the mountain, calmly gazing at his opponent: "Ye Ming, do you wish to challenge me?"

"good!"

A flash of hatred crossed Ye Ming's eyes: "Do you dare to suppress your cultivation to the same level as mine and fight me?"

Hearing this, Gao Yan laughed speechlessly: "Are you out of your mind? All my cultivation is the result of hard work. Why should I give up my advantages?"

Ye Ming's face flushed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure: "What, a dignified Holy Son, you don't even have the confidence to defeat an inner disciple like me?"
