...

"Ruoxue".

Ning Ruoxue, like a young girl experiencing her first love, threw herself into Lin Feng's arms without a second thought.

The soft fragrance enveloped him, causing Lin Feng to feel a surge of desire.

"How are the preparations going?"

"Preparations are almost complete. My coronation ceremony will be on the 23rd of this month. I... I'm actually going to become the new... Empress of the Northern Immortal Dynasty... I really can't believe it."

Ning Ruoxue was extremely excited, her face flushed, and she nestled tightly in Lin Feng's arms.

Lin Feng gently massaged her shoulders and said with a warm smile, "Ruoxue, this is all you deserve. I believe you will do a better job than the late emperor if you take charge of the Northern Region."

Ning Ruoxue raised her head, her lips gleaming with a delicate blue lipstick, and whispered, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today, Ah Feng. From the very first moment I saw you..."

I knew it; you were the man destined for me. In fact, if you're willing, it would be more fitting for you to sit on the throne.

I would be content to be your emperor and empress.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng felt a slight stirring in his heart.

But he held back.

The situation in the Northern Region is complex and complicated. With my current strength, it is not suitable for me to stand in the spotlight, as that would only bring unpredictable drawbacks.

Only by remaining hidden behind the scenes, refining the resources of the Immortal Dynasty one by one, and gaining sufficient strength can one truly face all kinds of storms.

Just like when he got close to Yu Xiyan in his previous life, besides coveting the beauty of Empress Yintian, he also valued the enormous resources that he could only dream of.

However, in her past life, there was a terrifying Shen Zhao by Yu Xiyan's side. No matter how perfect her plans were, he would easily see through them. If it weren't for Yu Xiyan protecting her, she would never have been able to deal with him for more than ten years.

Even if he had to face Shen Zhao again, Lin Feng would still feel an indescribable, deep-seated fear.

But now that Shen Zhao is dead, the biggest obstacle in his path to hegemony has been removed, so his future in this life is destined to be smooth sailing.

At the same time, he had a deep-seated obsession.

He needed to completely control Yu Xiyan and make her obey his every command.

However, this opportunity will come soon, and Yu Xiyan and the others are being held under house arrest in the Immortal Dynasty's dungeon.

However, Lin Feng was unaware of one thing.

That means Yu Xiyan is also a reincarnated person, and she is filled with deep hatred for him. How could she possibly have any good feelings for Lin Feng in this life?

The two embraced tenderly for a long time, whispering many sweet nothings to each other. Only then did Lin Feng reluctantly release the delicate beauty in his arms and ask softly, "Those six protectors didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Ning Ruoxue shook her head: "No, the six protectors know that I am my master's only disciple, and my master never married. According to the etiquette of the Immortal Dynasty, after her death, I am the only legitimate successor to the throne."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng finally felt relieved, as the last weight on his heart was lifted.

The six guardians of the Immortal Dynasty are all quasi-emperors; if they oppose him, his plan will be nothing but a joke.

But clearly, this concern is unnecessary.

In recent days, Lin Feng obtained the Yuan Core Pill and Fire Cloud Powder from the Biyun Palace. Not only did he repair his Yuan Core, but he also broke through to the third level of the Soul Sea Realm. Compared to his previous life, he should only be struggling in the Nascent Soul Realm at this time.

However, such cultivation level is not considered respectable within the Immortal Dynasty. To truly establish oneself, one must continue to enhance one's cultivation.

As long as Ning Ruoxue is helped to ascend to the throne, everything will fall into place naturally.

Ning Ruoxue and Lin Feng held hands tightly. Ning Ruoxue looked at Lin Feng with deep affection and said, "On the day I ascend the throne, I will make you my imperial consort. Together, we will manage the Northern Region even better than when Master was alive."

Lin Feng sighed softly, feigning difficulty, "Ruoxue, this isn't quite right. We haven't known each other for very long, and besides, your master just passed away not long ago. It's a bit too much to get married so soon..."

Ning Ruoxue pressed her finger against Lin Feng's lips: "Feng, I told you, you are the man God gave me in this life. I will never regret marrying you."

Besides, I don't like my master. She's a heartless butcher who only knows how to commit atrocities, and she's extremely strict with me.

Now that she's dead, I actually feel a sense of relief. Really, you might think I'm heartless, but...

But this is what I truly think, Ah Feng. I only dare to say this to you. I'm really afraid of Master.

"I understand you, Ruoxue."

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng simply smiled and hugged Ning Ruoxue even tighter.

But in his heart he thought: You probably haven't seen how your master can be so unrestrained.

In my past life, every corner of this palace bore traces of me and your master.

It's a pity that I won't have the chance to savor the luxurious fragrance of orchids in this lifetime.

Ning Ruoxue was unaware of Lin Feng's thoughts at that moment, but she knew he loved her deeply, so she hugged him even tighter in return.

...

Within the Tianjian Sect.

The sect, which was crowded with people just three days ago, is now deserted with only a dozen or so ordinary people who do not know how to cultivate.

In the backyard, Mu Qiuyao was surrounded by a bright red light, and the Nanming Li Fire in the void continuously absorbed the cold energy emanating from her body.

After several cycles, Mu Qiuyao suddenly opened her eyes, and a sharp pressure swept over her, as if ten thousand sword energies were rampaging.

"His cultivation has recovered to the Manifestation Saint realm."

With Shen Zhao's guidance, Mu Qiuyao finally saw results from using the Southern Bright Fire and reversing the Bright Jade Profound Yellow Technique.

Feeling the coldness in his body being suppressed by a surge of intense heat, and the pain in his damaged meridians no longer being so severe, all proved that Shen Zhao's cultivation method was completely correct.

"I pride myself on my exceptional talent, but I never expected that the Mingyu Xuanhuang Technique could reverse the flow of Yang energy. Sigh, I'm so embarrassed I just want to crawl into a hole."
