That night, Chu Xinxin got her wish and moved into Zichen Palace, occupying Xiao Linyi's bedroom... and the side hall next to it.
Everything in Zichen Palace was wonderful—the bed was soft, the pillows were fragrant, and there was even the most powerful man in the Di Yao Continent as her bodyguard next door. Chu Xinxin quickly fell asleep.
Meanwhile, the bodyguard next door tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The Zichen Palace was so big, but it seemed to shrink just because there was one more person.
The scent of lily of the valley emanating from Chu Xinxin seemed to penetrate the walls, drift into the bed curtains, and slowly envelop him.
It smells so good...
Xiao Linyi's fingertips seemed to touch that slender, fair wrist again, and the pulse on her wrist throbbed, gradually coinciding with his heartbeat.
The girl had just looked at him with a sly expression and deliberately tilted her head up to look at him. Without thinking, he took her lips into his mouth.
It was as if it could no longer bear it, or as if it was punishing it, and it even gently bit it.
Xiao Linyi raised his hand and touched his lips. Chu Xinxin called to him—
"Brother Changheng..."
This is terrible.
......
Some people are so excited about spring that they can't sleep at night, while others are sleeping on the mountaintop in misery.
Tianji lay on an unnamed mound in the suburbs, contemplating life. If he was wrong, let Heaven punish him; why should he suffer such an undeserved calamity?
His ex and his ex-ex both took a fancy to the same necklace at the Treasure Pavilion. Neither of them would give in, and they fought from the inner city to the outer city, and then from the outer city to the outskirts. Tianji tried to mediate, but as he did so, the two of them realized it was all his fault, so they beat him up together, and then went back to the inner city hand in hand to drink.
Although he made that necklace, he sold it to the Treasure Pavilion. What does it have to do with him? Why should he go to his Tianji Tower to fight it?
He even ripped the roof off.
Sighing heavily, Tianji was about to stand up and go back when suddenly a beam of purple-gold light shot out from the opposite mountain peak, turning the night into day. After the light faded, a clear phoenix cry resounded through the sky, and a huge phoenix phantom appeared above.
With just a phantom image, Tianji, a cultivator at the Mahayana stage, was pressed to the spot by that oppressive force and unable to move.
Slowly, the illusory image faded, and Tianji immediately summoned his spirit sword to fly to the mountaintop. The vegetation that had once covered the mountaintop vanished, replaced by a towering, ancient, and imposing gate, its height seemingly endless, adorned with carvings of two playful phoenixes.
The Phoenix Holy Land has reappeared in the world!
Xiao Linyi also felt the pressure immediately. Before leaving, he glanced at the side hall, raised his hand to set up several high-level protective formations, and even put his natal spirit sword in the middle of the formation as the core.
Chu Xinxin was still sleeping soundly until she was startled awake by a scream in the early morning—
【Ahhh—I can't believe my eyes! 5200! OMG!】
Chu Xinxin sprang to her feet with a swift movement: "Who?!"
Wow! Sister, I admire you so much!
Chu Xinxin belatedly realized: "System?"
"Yes, sister, I'm back."
Chu Xinxin was overjoyed: "Are you alright? Did the inspection department give you any trouble?"
No, they released me as soon as they noticed our energy levels had increased.
Just as the system was about to ask Chu Xinxin what had happened in the past four days, Xiao Linyi knocked on the door from outside: "What happened?"
Just as Chu Xinxin called out "Who," Xiao Linyi happened to return.
After a while, Chu Xinxin opened the door, smiled at Xiao Linyi, and said sweetly, "Good morning."
Xiao Linyi was momentarily stunned by the smile and subconsciously replied, "Good morning."
"Master, I can't fly within the inner city, I'll be going now."
Chu Xinxin walked past Xiao Linyi and headed out, but was stopped after only a couple of steps.
"Take this, and we'll talk if you need more." Xiao Linyi handed Chu Xinxin a storage ring.
The five-star storage ring with the largest space at the highest level was taken by Chu Xinxin. She used her spiritual sense to explore it, and the countless spirit stones covering the ground almost blinded her.
Seeing the sudden sparkle in her eyes, Xiao Lin suddenly felt a strong urge to take out all the spirit stones and build a nest around her.
Chu Xinxin used the huge sum of money her sugar daddy gave her to buy a bowl of wontons at the city gate. After finishing her meal, she fawned over Xiao Linyi and packed another bowl for him.
Sister, someone offered you millions to buy breakfast and you just gave them some wontons to fob them off?
The system started getting worried again.
Chu Xinxin thought about it and agreed: "But, we've already bought it."
[So, you can feed him later; each bite increases his affection level by 100.]
The system added: "[Sit on his lap and feed him.]"
"Hmm? System, you haven't been in solitary confinement these past few days, have you? You've got a whole set of tricks up your sleeve."
[You flatter me, my sister handled it with ease.]
Chu Xinxin and the system flattered each other all the way, and almost bumped into Ya Wen at the entrance of Siyin Pavilion.
Ya Wen rushed out from inside, and was about to apologize when she bumped into someone, but when she saw it was Chu Xinxin, she changed her mind: "I'm sorry... Xinxin! Come with me quickly."
Chu Xinxin protected the wontons she almost spilled: "What are you doing!"
"There's no time to explain, get in the car first."
Ya Wen tossed Chu Xinxin onto her spirit beast, the Firefly Rabbit, and ran all the way to the palace gate before stopping.
[Ya Wen looks so mature and sophisticated, but her spirit beast is quite adorable.] The system watched enviously as Ya Wen put the fluffy Ying Rabbit back into her spirit beast token.
"Sweetie, I'll buy you a whole nest later," Chu Xinxin comforted him, seeing through his little scheme.
Sister, being kept really makes a difference; you're so rich and powerful.
Ya Wen didn't know what they were talking about. After putting away her spirit beast, she pulled Chu Xinxin to join the end of a long queue.
"Ya Wen, what's going on?" Chu Xinxin asked, puzzled.
Ya Wen: "Martial Arts Tournament..."
"You're dragging a music enthusiast like me into a martial arts tournament?"
"you do not know?"
"Know what?"
Chu Xinxin was completely confused.
Ya Wen: "The Phoenix Holy Land has reappeared in the world. Although it is not yet fully open, Emperor Liang has ordered that only those who participate in the martial arts competition and rank in the top one hundred can enter."
"What does that have to do with me?" Chu Xinxin said and tried to leave. It was a waste of time; the wontons she bought were about to go bad.
Ya Wen grabbed her: "Hey, hey, hey, this is a sacred land that's been around for tens of thousands of years! Even an ordinary spiritual herb that's grown here for tens of thousands of years becomes a celestial medicine, not to mention the countless pills, secret manuals, spiritual treasures, and talismans."
That's quite possible. Ten thousand years ago, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had not yet depleted, and spirit beasts could transform into human form. The Phoenix Clan was one of the best among them. They were skilled in alchemy and weapon crafting, and before their destruction, they were a dominant force on the Emperor Yao Continent.
"The greater the opportunity, the greater the danger. I just want to be a lazy bum. Goodbye." Chu Xinxin remained unmoved.
Yawen: "There might even be live phoenix eggs inside!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xinxin hesitated for a moment. Although her spirit beast was called Fire Phoenix, it actually contained extremely rare phoenix bloodline.
Who wouldn't want an ancient mythical beast?
Ya Wen pressed her advantage: "Don't worry, the Pavilion Master also went to investigate last night. Only cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage can enter the Holy Land; those above the Golden Core stage were all turned away."
"Only those at the Foundation Establishment stage can enter. The Pavilion Master definitely won't go. What would I do there? I wish you success. I'm leaving." After Chu Xinxin finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Xiao Linyi.
Xiao Linyi looked at her with an inexplicably focused gaze and asked, "Why won't you go if I don't go?"
Chu Xinxin: "I'm a woman who follows her husband's wishes. My current task is to be a good caged bird."
Xiao Linyi: ...The last sentence is unnecessary.
Xiao Linyi coughed lightly: "Go, Phoenix has a beautiful melody. Your zither skills are unmatched. If you don't go, wouldn't you be handing over a treasure to someone else?"
System: [Sister, you can do this. Just pick up a phoenix feather from the Holy Land and give it to him, then pretend to get a minor injury while picking it up. Won't Xiao Linyi's favorability towards you skyrocket?]
Chu Xinxin nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
Xiao Linyi's favorability rating immediately increased, making Xiao Linyi, Chu Xinxin, and the system all happy.
Only Ya Wen seemed to have suffered a thousand points of damage: I have not hurt any of you, why do you have to show affection in front of me, and twice at that!
