Mo Ran, as the eldest disciple of the Tianyuan Sect leader, has not yet grown into the true leader of the Tianyuan Sect.

He participated in the operation to annihilate Jiang Chenxin, but during this process, Jiang Chenxin, who is now stronger than him, left him with the mark of a dragon. He had to suppress the dragon flame burning in his dantian in the Frozen Cave, which is what is known as being "suppressed".

So... after all that worrying, it turned out she was worrying for nothing?

Is Jiang Chenxin now the male lead favored by the consciousness of this world?

Gu Qingqiu felt conflicted and asked, "What's the current progress of your experience bar?"

Male Protagonist System: [Host, it's already 37%.]

Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, I understand.]

Inside the cave, due to the frequent dual cultivation, the system appeared very infrequently, but Gu Qingqiu had no interest in chatting with the system much.

She's really upset right now! She knew Jiang Chenxin didn't actually like her that much!

After Gu Qingqiu and Yan Shengxiao had physical contact, her experience bar increased by leaps and bounds. Even holding Yan Shengxiao's hand or kissing his cheek could increase the progress bar.

And now, after so many dual cultivation sessions with Jiang Chenxin, her experience bar is only at 37%! Only! 37%!

Gu Qingqiu glared fiercely at Jiang Chenxin in the darkness, thinking to herself, "You bastard! It doesn't matter who sleeps with you!"

Just then, Jiang Chenxin called out to her from the side, "Thirteen? Have you finished your cultivation? Based on previous experience, you should be done by now, right?"

Gu Qingqiu snorted. "What? What do you want?"

Jiang Chenxin felt a little confused. "What's wrong with you all of a sudden? What did I do to upset you again?"

Gu Qingqiu couldn't tell the truth, so she could only throw the question back at him, saying, "Think about it yourself!"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chenxin seemed to be thinking for a moment before speaking again, and he said something surprising: "Thirteen, you really don't need to feel inferior."

Gu Qingqiu couldn't follow his train of thought. "Me? Inferiority complex?"

“That’s right!” Jiang Chenxin felt more and more that he had discovered the truth of the matter. “Look, although you were in a dominant position before, you didn’t get real happiness. It was like a mechanical job. But as soon as I made a move, you felt real happiness. You feel that your success in studying at Denglezong over the years is not worth mentioning. You’re starting to doubt your life, right?”

Gu Qingqiu said speechlessly, "...You're overthinking it!"

"It's okay, Thirteen." Jiang Chenxin even comforted her instead. "You've improved since the beginning, which shows that you have a strong learning ability. The reason you didn't improve before was probably because you lacked practical experience. I can be your sparring partner and improve together with you. You're really lucky to have a free teacher like me who can also help you improve your skills."

"Then thank you," Gu Qingqiu said irritably. "When I have completed my studies, I am sure that all the young talents from various sects will fall at my feet, and I will be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage with ease."

Jiang Chenxin had only intended to tease Gu Qingqiu, but she hadn't expected Gu Qingqiu to seem interested in leaving the cave to cultivate with another man. She immediately objected, saying, "No! You can't cultivate with other men!"

"Why?" Gu Qingqiu said with a grin, "You know that we Deng Le Sect disciples are all so dissolute. Once we've tasted the pleasures of increased power, we'll become even more unrestrained. My senior sisters have to think back to which man's bed they were in every day when they wake up."

Jiang Chenxin said angrily, "You...you dare!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? What's our relationship? What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Gu Qingqiu retorted.

Jiang Chenxin remained silent for a long time before speaking, her tone softening, "Thirteen, after you go out, please don't seek out other men for dual cultivation, okay?"

Gu Qingqiu unconsciously played with the ends of her hair. "Are you trying to discuss this with me?"

“…Hmm.” Jiang Chenxin seemed to have made a great decision. “If your purpose in seeking other men for dual cultivation is to increase your power, then you can definitely seek me out. I am already at the mid-Nascent Soul stage. I dare say that in the entire cultivation world, there are no more than a handful of people my age who have reached the Nascent Soul stage. Seeking other men for dual cultivation is not as effective as seeking me out.”

Are you being so easy to talk to now?

Gu Qingqiu deliberately said, "But you won't cooperate with me in dual cultivation, and I can't absorb internal energy from you. Other men know that they have to pay a price for a night of passion, but you're so stingy."

This time, Jiang Chenxin blurted out, "I can too! You were the one who said you wouldn't absorb my internal energy before, but if you want, I... I'm willing too."

Gu Qingqiu was somewhat surprised. People with higher cultivation levels tend to care more about their cultivation level because they know that everything they have is hard-won, so they will not be easily tempted by physical desires. This is also why there are many experts in Dengle Sect, but they generally only have the cultivation level of the Golden Core stage. Experts above the Golden Core stage will not easily agree to dual cultivation with their senior sisters.

And now... Jiang Chenxin is actually willing to let her absorb internal energy.

It should be understood that if someone with mediocre talent cultivates at the same pace, they may never reach the Nascent Soul stage in their lifetime. Even if someone with some ability reaches the Nascent Soul stage, it may take decades or even centuries to go from the early to the middle stage. There are also many people who can no longer improve after reaching the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Jiang Chenxin is still very young and exceptionally talented, the hardships he has endured to reach this level of cultivation are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. He even willingly engages in dual cultivation with a woman who is still in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Gu Qingqiu didn't know whether Jiang Chenxin liked her, was attached to her, or saw her as a source of emotional support due to his long-term loneliness, but she was determined to repay this kindness. She had sworn to rescue Jiang Chenxin.

“Alright, let’s cultivate together,” Gu Qingqiu said.

After this period of getting to know each other, the two have become very compatible.

Gu Qingqiu's physical strength continued to increase along with her cultivation level, and Jiang Chenxin also became very proactive in cooperating, so the two had developed a lot of tacit understanding.

After their dual cultivation session ended that day, Jiang Chenxin suddenly asked, "Thirteen, what are you planning to do after you leave?"

Gu Qingqiu leaned against him lazily, "Of course I'll find a way to save you."

"Besides that?" Jiang Chenxin continued to ask, "What are you planning to do after you rescue me? Find a place to live in seclusion and cultivate, or travel around the world?"

When a man starts talking to you about the future, it means he has already included you in his future plans.

Gu Qingqiu heard him say, "Whether you want to live in seclusion and cultivate, or travel around the world, I can accompany you."
