Jiang Chenxin felt his male dignity had been challenged, and he said coldly, "I have always maintained a clean and virtuous character."
"Oh—" Gu Qingqiu drawled, looking incredulous.
Jiang Chenxin said speechlessly, "Do you think I would casually let someone else control the Chilong Flame? Where would my uniqueness lie then?"
"Oh!" Gu Qingqiu immediately understood.
"If you're going to come, then hurry up! Be quick about it! How long are you going to dawdle?" Jiang Chenxin urged impatiently.
Gu Qingqiu knew she would have to come sooner or later, so she gritted her teeth, found a seat, and quickly sat down.
Then both of them let out some gasps.
Jiang Chenxin let out a somewhat comfortable sigh, while Gu Qingqiu... felt a wave of dizziness wash over her; this was just too... too big...
"Why don't you move?" Jiang Chenxin said with some dissatisfaction.
After a few minutes of getting used to it, Gu Qingqiu finally began to move slowly up and down. As she moved, she used magic to make Jiang Chenxin's internal energy flow through her meridians and repair her wounds.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Qingqiu stopped, her legs a little weak as she got off Jiang Chenxin. "Phew... let's stop here for today. I need to hurry up and cultivate."
"What?" Jiang Chenxin asked incredulously, "You're just going to abandon me like this?"
"I can't take it anymore. This is the longest I can circulate my internal energy. Any longer and I'll start to lose control and absorb your internal energy," Gu Qingqiu explained.
Jiang Chenxin felt a lump in his throat, unable to swallow or spit it out. He hadn't even had a chance to enjoy himself before Gu Qingqiu abandoned him! Could he really be so generous as to say, "It's okay, you can absorb some of my internal energy and leave?"
Their relationship is based on a contract, and the other party has no obligation to consider his feelings.
Gu Qingqiu sat down to the side and began to cultivate her inner energy.
Jiang Chenxin's hands and feet were bound by specially made iron chains, so she had no way to comfort herself and could only wait for the excitement in her body to slowly dissipate.
After Gu Qingqiu finished circulating his energy, he felt refreshed and his internal strength greatly increased. He thought to himself that the Deng Le Sect's mental cultivation method was indeed a good thing.
"Are you finally all better?" Jiang Chenxin's tone sounded rather unhappy.
Gu Qingqiu thought for a moment, then suddenly realized and cast a bathing spell on him. "Sorry, I forgot just now. You can remind me next time."
Jiang Chenxin didn't know whether this enchantress was truly stupid or pretending, but he was at a loss for words and could only respond with an "uh-huh".
"But there's something strange," Gu Qingqiu asked, "Why is it that even though we've been cultivating together, I still can't seem to control the Chi Dragon Flame?"
Jiang Chenxin said irritably, "If it were that easy to control, I don't know how many women would be throwing themselves at me."
"Huh?" Gu Qingqiu asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just say..."
Jiang Chenxin quickly explained, "First, your cultivation level is too low; you simply cannot withstand the Chilong flames. Second, you did not obtain my essence blood."
Gu Qingqiu lowered her head with some shame, "I am indeed only at the Qi Refining stage."
Jiang Chenxin said speechlessly, "I can see that your Deng Le Sect doesn't usually rely on proper cultivation methods or like to exercise. Before they reach adulthood, their disciples generally won't surpass the Qi Refining stage. It's only after they reach adulthood and start cultivating with men that their power increases significantly."
Gu Qingqiu sincerely asked, "Then what level of cultivation do I need to reach to withstand the flames of the Chi Dragon?"
Jiang Chenxin replied, "The ideal state would be when we reach the Golden Core stage. Then we can cultivate together, and the Chilong Flame will recognize you as its master and won't actively harm your body. However, the Chilong Flame is inherently domineering, and ordinary mortal bodies cannot withstand it. After you reach the Golden Core stage, your body will have undergone many trials and tribulations and will have the corresponding ability to withstand them. That would be the most suitable time to master the Chilong Flame."
"Golden Core stage?" Gu Qingqiu said in disbelief, "I'm only in the mid-stage of Qi Refining now, so I have to reach the Foundation Establishment stage first, and then the Golden Core stage, before I can master the Chi Dragon Flame?"
Jiang Chenxin shrugged. "Theoretically, that's how it is. Of course, if you're not afraid of dying, you can try it beforehand."
Gu Qingqiu felt her legs go weak. Judging from the progress of her cultivation just now, she would need to cultivate with Jiang Chenxin at least a dozen times before she could possibly break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. And between the Foundation Establishment stage and the Golden Core stage, there is another gap, which would require at least several hundred cultivation sessions.
Jiang Chenxin chuckled, "Oh dear, I wonder if those old guys can wait? Maybe they'll force you to master the Chilong Flame ahead of time."
Gu Qingqiu felt a sudden darkness before her eyes and a dizzying sensation. If she spent all her time cultivating with Jiang Chenxin, she probably would never have the chance to see the male lead again, let alone complete the mission. Moreover, she didn't know if those heartless old guys would let her go.
Just then, Gu Qingqiu suddenly heard the system's voice.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, there's an urgent situation I need to report to you.]
Gu Qingqiu was somewhat shocked to detect some emotional fluctuations in the unchanging mechanical voice of the male protagonist system.
Gu Qingqiu: [What's going on? You've finally realized I can't complete the mission in this world, and you're planning to teleport me away ahead of schedule?]
Male Protagonist System: [No, quite the opposite, the experience bar has moved; the current progress is 2%.]
Gu Qingqiu: [What???]
Male protagonist system: [That's definitely true. I've checked it several times.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Tell me again, what's the name of the male protagonist in this world?]
Male protagonist system: [Mo Ran is currently the eldest disciple of the Tianyuan Sect's leader, and will be the next leader of the Tianyuan Sect.]
Gu Qingqiu: […Wait, let me sort this out. Are you sure Mo Ran and Jiang Chenxin aren't the same person? Or are they related by blood? Or…is Jiang Chenxin a split personality or soul of Mo Ran or something like that?]
Male Protagonist System: [These situations are all untrue. In fact, Mo Ran was present when Jiang Chenxin was surrounded and attacked. Currently, Mo Ran is among the Golden Core disciples suffering from the Chi Dragon Flames, recuperating in the Ice Cave.]
Gu Qingqiu fell into deep thought. The male protagonist system even took the initiative to reveal the male protagonist's current whereabouts to her, so it seemed that this was not a small problem.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation. I've already reported the abnormal data, and I'll inform you once I receive feedback.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Thank you, you've worked hard.]
Gu Qingqiu delved into her own sea of consciousness and checked the remaining time.
Because it is a world viewed through the lens of a cultivation consciousness, the duration will be correspondingly longer, with more than five years remaining.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Gu Qingqiu walked to Jiang Chenxin's side and hooked her hand around his finger.
