Chapter 6

"Hum!"

The night passed without incident.

The next day, as the sky began to brighten, a mass of thunderclouds suddenly gathered above Ye Qinchuan, stretching for thousands of miles.

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and calmly looked at the girl enveloped in the thunderclouds, a smile playing on the corners of his lips.

"Has she broken through?"

At that moment, he could see that as the lightning descended, layers of filth began to seep out of Ye Qinchuan's body.

However, her aura suddenly surged, quickly reaching the Awakening Spirit stage.

This was somewhat unexpected for Ling Xiao.

The pill he had given Ye Qinchuan was indeed a third-grade spirit pill, capable of detoxifying and cleansing the meridians.

But he hadn't expected that this girl, destined by heaven, would be so weak.

A single third-grade spirit pill had cleansed out ten pounds of impurities from her body and helped her break through to the Awakening Spirit stage.

After all, Ye Qinchuan was a true daughter of destiny. Logically, her breakthrough should have been fraught with difficulties.

It seemed that this desolate land truly lived up to its name.

When the thunderstorm dissipated, a hint of surprise flashed in Ling Xiao's eyes.

At that moment, he seemed to see a divine mountain floating above Ye Qinchuan's head.

Snow fell heavily on the mountain, covering it in silver.

At the peak of the snow-covered mountain, a black temple stood tall and solemn, piercing the sky.

"What is this?"

Ling Xiao's expression froze as he saw that Ye Qinchuan's aura value had reached 600 points, 100 points more than Chu Yang, the son of destiny.

"No wonder she can be a daughter of destiny. It seems Ye Qinchuan has some secrets of her own."

Those divine images he had just seen were certainly not from the lower realms. The divine aura was not from the Holy State. Could it be... from the Ninth Heaven?

Interesting.

The originally planned female lead

</di>

is indeed not simple.

It seems that to uncover Ye Qinchuan's secrets, he would have to... get closer to her.

"Y-Young Master?"

Ye Qinchuan opened her eyes and saw Ling Xiao standing in front of her with a serious expression, her face immediately froze.

"Me? I broke through?!!"

Then, the confusion in Ye Qinchuan's eyes dissipated, replaced by an indescribable joy.

Ever since she was bitten by that monster, she had been stuck at the peak of the Ethereal Spirit stage for a long time.

Every time she found a breakthrough opportunity, she would soon be tormented by excruciating pain.

But this time, she didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, she felt a warm sensation all over her body, similar to when Ling Xiao's hand had touched her, a kind of... excitement.

"Congratulations."

"Y-Young Master! Thank you!"

This time, Ye Qinchuan was genuinely grateful to Ling Xiao.

She suddenly felt that this mysterious young master wasn't as unapproachable as he seemed.

Although he had been cold and cruel when suppressing Yue Qiuci the previous day,

upon reflection, he was also protecting the righteous path of the Northern Desolate Land.

"You should... go wash up."

"Wash up?"

Ye Qinchuan was taken aback, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Did Young Master mean... wash up and go to bed this early in the morning?

But this time, Ye Qinchuan didn't feel as nervous as she had the previous day.

However, when she looked up at Ling Xiao, she found that he had already turned and walked to the side.

Ye Qinchuan was confused. At that moment, she suddenly smelled a foul odor and felt a strange tightness on her skin.

"This..."

Ye Qinchuan looked down at her hands, her face stiffening.

"So black! So smelly! So salty!"

The excitement of breaking through had temporarily made her ignore the unusual state of her body.

Now, she saw that the impurities from her body had already solidified on her skin.

The stench was truly... disgusting.

No wonder Young Master Ling Xiao was repulsed by her. Now, her image in his mind...

"Embarrassing!"

Ye Qinchuan ran out of the cave, and Ling Xiao's expression gradually turned cold.

Next, he should go to the Xuanjian Sect and deal with that son of destiny.

Given Ye Qinchuan's current attitude towards him and Yue Qiuci's miserable state, it would be easy to shatter Chu Yang's Dao heart.

Once his aura was lost, he would no longer be protected by the Heavenly Dao and could be killed at will.

"Hmm? Was that Sister Ye just now?"

"It seems so. What's wrong with Sister Ye?"

In front of the cave, the Xuanjian Sect disciples looked at each other, their expressions puzzled.

However!

After a while, when Ye Qinchuan reappeared before them, her face was flushed.

Even her hair was still wet, clearly indicating that she had just bathed.

"This..."

Suddenly, everyone seemed to realize something, their faces showing understanding.

A man and a woman, alone in a cave.

This early in the morning, rushing to bathe and change clothes, what did it mean?

</di>

It meant that this morning, more than just sunlight had touched Sister Ye's face!

"What are you looking at!"

Ye Qinchuan's eyes were cold, her heart filled with embarrassment.

At that moment, Ling Xiao walked out of the cave, holding Yue Qiuci, and said indifferently, "Since your injuries have recovered, let's continue on our journey."

"Yes! Young Master!"

Ye Qinchuan hurriedly turned and flew towards the Xuanjian Sect.

However!

Just as she took a step, she seemed to think of something and stopped.

"Young Master, I'll send a message to my father to prepare a palace for you."

Given Young Master's status, his sudden arrival at the Xuanjian Sect would surely cause a stir.

Ye Qinchuan was worried that her father and the sect elders might offend Young Master with their words, leading to disaster.

"No need."

Ling Xiao shook his head, his eyes thoughtful.

If Ye Qinchuan sent a message in advance, it might alert them.

Dealing with a person of destiny, any carelessness could lead to unforeseen complications.

"But..."

"There's no 'but.' Before we figure out what's going on, Chu Yang and the Xuanjian Sect are both suspects. If they really collude with the demonic fiends, I won't show any mercy."

Ling Xiao's indifferent words were met with a mocking laugh from Yue Qiuci, her eyes filled with amusement.

But before she could mock him, Ling Xiao slapped her, knocking her unconscious.

Seeing this, everyone's faces turned serious, a sense of absurdity lingering.

Who could have imagined that the mighty Northern Desolate Land Demon Emperor would now be treated like a mere animal, toyed with at will!

Life, with its ups and downs.
