Zhang Shaozhong felt as if he had been in a long and chaotic dream.
The dream contained endless darkness, howling ghosts and wolves, tearing pain, and a strange, warm feeling, as if it were closely connected to something.
His eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that catches the eye is the familiar ceiling—the ceiling of his bedroom in the courtyard.
The sky outside the window was already bright, and sunlight streamed in through the gaps in the curtains, casting dappled beams of light into the air.
As consciousness gradually returned, memories from before falling into a coma flooded back: the Ghost King's attack, the fierce battle, the absorption of the pseudo-elixir, and the indescribably profound "three cultivations" conducted through a contract...
He sat up abruptly and immediately checked himself.
This examination both surprised and delighted him!
Within his dantian, the chaotic energy that was originally just gaseous had now condensed into a slowly rotating, deep gray vortex, containing immense power like a nebula! Early Foundation Establishment stage!
Moreover, his foundation is incredibly solid, and he even feels that he is not far from the middle stage of Foundation Establishment!
Not only that, he felt his divine sense had become several times stronger, and his body seemed to have been re-tempered, full of explosive power.
After his initial euphoria, he finally noticed his surroundings.
He was lying on his bed at the moment, and there were two people lying next to him!
On either side, I leaned against soft, warm bodies, my nose surrounded by two completely different yet equally alluring scents.
One is as pure and crisp as plum blossoms after a snowfall, the other as fragrant as roses in the dark night.
He turned his head stiffly, little by little.
On the left, Fairy Ling Qingxue lay on her side, still wearing that somewhat tattered white dress. Her usually aloof face was less cold in her sleep, and more serene and gentle. Her long eyelashes drooped like butterfly wings, and her breathing was even.
However, one of her arms was naturally resting on his waist.
On his right, Ye Meier was almost half-lying on him, her black outfit outlining her breathtaking curves. Her head was resting on his shoulder, and she was fast asleep, her red lips slightly parted, with a trace of drool almost dripping onto his clothes.
A long, smooth, jade-like leg pressed down on his leg without any hesitation.
What... what's going on?!
Zhang Shaozhong's brain went blank for a moment, his blood rushed to his head, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest!
He froze on the bed, too afraid to move, even holding his breath.
Last night... no, it was the fragments of memories from the previous great battle that gradually returned.
He devoured the pseudo-elixir... his energy spiraled out of control... and then... it seemed like the fairy and the eldest sister helped him through a contract... that feeling of souls connected and energy merging...
Could this be... a side effect of the "three repairs"?!
Or...did they just sleep like that all night?!
Looking at the two stunningly beautiful faces so close to him, feeling the warmth and soft touch around him, especially Ye Meier's unguarded sleeping posture and Ling Qingxue's rare docile appearance, Zhang Shaozhong felt a surge of lust rising from his lower abdomen, a certain disobedient part of him began to stir, and his breathing involuntarily became heavier.
The moment he made a sound, the perceptive Ling Qingxue woke up immediately.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.
Those clear, deep eyes, initially tinged with the haze of just waking up, froze instantly when she saw the scene before her—she was nestled in Zhang Shaozhong's arms, her arm draped over his waist!
A stunning blush spread visibly from her fair neck upwards, instantly staining her cheeks and the base of her ears!
Her clear, cold eyes widened, filled with disbelief, embarrassment, and a hint of panic. She instinctively tried to pull her hand away and get up.
"Fairy... Fairy..."
Zhang Shaozhong's throat was dry, and he called out in a hoarse voice, his body tensing up even more from the tension.
His voice, hot breath brushing against Ling Qingxue's ear, made her tremble slightly and freeze in her tracks.
She looked up and met Zhang Shaozhong's equally tense yet intense gaze. Seeing his flushed face and the fine sweat on his forehead, for some reason, the embarrassment and annoyance in her heart dissipated a little, replaced by a more complex, tingling feeling.
She recalled the seamless fusion of their souls during their previous deep cultivation, and his resolute act of frantically consuming pseudo-core pills so as not to burden them...
The action of withdrawing her hand turned into gently putting it down.
Although she didn't lean back, she didn't leave immediately either. She simply turned her head slightly to avoid Zhang Shaozhong's overly intense gaze and gave a soft "hmm" in response.
The blush on her fair cheeks became even more pronounced.
When Zhang Shaozhong saw the fairy's shy appearance, which seemed to be both reluctant and welcoming (or so he thought), the string in his mind snapped with a "buzz"!
Who could withstand this?!
As if possessed, he turned slightly to the side and cautiously, tentatively, wrapped his arm around Ling Qingxue's slender and supple waist.
Ling Qingxue's delicate body stiffened abruptly, as if she had been electrocuted!
She instinctively tried to break free, but the strength from Zhang Shaozhong's arm and the warmth carrying the unique scent of a young man made her feel weak all over, and her slight struggle vanished instantly.
She closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling violently, as if she had resigned herself to her fate, but her bright red earlobes betrayed the extreme turmoil in her heart.
Just then, Ye Meier, who was pretending to be asleep on the other side, let out a lazy yet playful moan.
"Hmm~ What's all the noise about... so early in the morning..."
