Confirming Their Relationship

Xiao Kun planned to officially confirm his relationship with Ya Fei.

Speaking of which, Xiao Kun still felt a little nervous. Even with the experience of two lifetimes, this was still his first time dating.

In his previous life, he had been a bachelor for over twenty years before somehow transmigrating here.

However, Xiao Kun's mindset was completely different from his previous life. Back then, he had neither a car nor a house, so naturally he had not pursued a girlfriend.

Now, as a Dou Wang, he could be considered a powerhouse in the Jia Ma Empire. Finding a girlfriend was far easier than it had been in his previous life.

But since it was his first time, he still felt extremely uneasy.

Early the next morning.

Feeling nervous, Xiao Kun unknowingly made his way to the Mitel Auction House. He stood at the entrance for a while, then gritted his teeth and headed straight for the auction house's rear courtyard.

The auction house guards were already used to it. Given the relationship between Xiao Kun and Ya Fei, Xiao Kun no longer needed to announce himself when entering or leaving the auction house.

Since there was no auction today, Xiao Kun went directly to the small pavilion in the rear courtyard where Ya Fei lived.

Xiao Kun entered the pavilion and glanced toward the study, where he saw a woman seated at a desk sorting through account books.

She wore a crimson brocade robe that wrapped around her exquisite, curvaceous figure. Her charming face carried a calm, focused expression as she organized the accounts, adding a touch of intellectual elegance to her allure.

Charm and sophistication blended together. Even Xiao Kun, who was used to seeing Ya Fei, could not help but feel his heart tremble slightly.

Unwilling to disturb the lovely scene before him, Xiao Kun simply stood there and waited.

A moment later, after finishing an account book, Ya Fei looked up and only then belatedly noticed Xiao Kun, who had been standing nearby for quite some time. She gave him a charming smile. "Xiao Kun, how long have you been here? Why didn't you say anything? I feel embarrassed for making you stand there alone for so long."

Thanks to the rapid growth brought about by his strength, Xiao Kun was now nearly half a head taller than Ya Fei. Together with the strength he had displayed—

Ya Fei had long since changed how she addressed him. She simply called him Xiao Kun now, without adding "little brother."

"What's wrong with that? Besides, being able to look at you for a long time is the dream of countless men in Wu Tan City! And of course, I'm one of them!"

Seeing Xiao Kun tease her as usual, Ya Fei did not feel annoyed as she would when other men teased her. Instead, a hint of joy rose in her heart. Smiling brightly, she said, "I'm very happy to be praised by a genius like you. But you usually don't come unless you need something. Have you run out of medicinal ingredients again?"

"Not at all. I don't plan to refine pills for the time being. I came this time because my cultivation has improved, and I wanted to share my joy with you."

Xiao Kun truly did think so. He already had enough pills for his own use, so he planned to stop refining medicine for a while and focus on raising his cultivation.

When Ya Fei heard that Xiao Kun had broken through again, she was delighted, but also somewhat incredulous. She asked, "Don't tell me you've broken through to Dou Wang!"

"Yes. I broke through yesterday."

Speaking of his newly achieved cultivation, Xiao Kun could not help but reveal a satisfied smile.

He had really broken through to Dou Wang! Hearing Xiao Kun's confirmation, Ya Fei's heart was thrown into a storm.

A Dou Wang had already crossed the threshold into the ranks of powerhouses. Countless people remained trapped at the peak of Dou Ling for their entire lives, unable to advance even a single step.

The current patriarch of the Mite'er Family, Mite'er Tengshan, was only a Dou Wang himself.

Yet the sixteen-year-old youth before her had also become a Dou Wang!

Speaking of which, Xiao Kun's speed of advancement had depended equally on the Heavenly Flames and medicinal pills.

Medicinal pills could rapidly raise his realm, while the Heavenly Flames not only accelerated his cultivation but also quickly stabilized his realm. With the two complementing each other, he had been able to accomplish the feat of becoming a Dou Wang at sixteen.

Seeing Ya Fei's adorably stunned expression, Xiao Kun could not help laughing.

"Your expression right now is really rare. You look kind of adorably silly!"

Seeing Xiao Kun make fun of her, Ya Fei quickly composed herself and put on an expression as though she had been angered. "What's so funny? Do you think everyone is as amazing as you?"

"Am I amazing?"

"Of course you are."

"Then, if such an amazing person has fallen for you, do you like him?"

"Ah!"

Faced with Xiao Kun's sudden confession, Ya Fei was instantly dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

In truth, Ya Fei had feelings for Xiao Kun as well. After all, he was such an outstanding young man: a fourth-grade alchemist whose cultivation had reached Dou Wang.

He also treated her well and lacked the arrogance of those so-called geniuses.

Thinking of all their past interactions, Ya Fei softly said two words: "I do."

Although Ya Fei spoke very softly, Xiao Kun was a Dou Wang and still heard her answer clearly.

Overjoyed at receiving her affirmative response, Xiao Kun immediately pulled her into his embrace under Ya Fei's slightly startled gaze.

Feeling the softness in his arms, Xiao Kun vowed, "I'll definitely treat you well."

Hearing this, Ya Fei said nothing. She simply wrapped her arms around Xiao Kun in return.

Time quietly passed amid the ambiguous atmosphere.

After a while, Xiao Kun released Ya Fei and gazed at the girl before him, whose face and neck had turned a delicate pink from shyness.

Unable to restrain himself, he leaned down and kissed those alluring red lips again.

After a long while, their lips parted. Looking at her even rosier face, Xiao Kun could not help saying, "You're beautiful. I won't make you regret this."

As Xiao Kun looked at Ya Fei, his heart was filled with joy, but he could not help worrying about her future.

After all, Ya Fei's cultivation was still too low, and her cultivation talent was not good enough. Even with the aid of medicinal pills, her cultivation speed was still not fast enough.

As he thought, he suddenly remembered the Seventh-grade Medicinal Pill the system had once critically struck: the Nirvana Pill. It could improve a person's cultivation aptitude and ensure that they encountered no major bottlenecks before breaking through to Dou Zong.

Thinking of the pill, Xiao Kun smiled and said to Ya Fei, "Your cultivation speed isn't very good right now. It'll be difficult for you to become a powerhouse in the future!"

"What, you're already looking down on me just after we got together?" Ya Fei immediately showed a trace of indignation. It seemed she was also dissatisfied with her own cultivation talent.

"Of course not. I want to ask you, if there were a way to improve your cultivation talent, would you be willing?"

Improve her cultivation talent! Ya Fei had never heard of such a method. But when she thought of the miraculous youth before her—

She could not help replying expectantly, "Of course I would. Do you have a way, Xiao Kun?"

"Of course. It's a piece of cake for your man."

After saying that, Xiao Kun took out a special box containing the Nirvana Pill from the System Space. When he opened it, a flawless white pill lay in the center of the box.

Ya Fei looked at the flawless white pill. With just a light sniff, she felt her body become clear and refreshed, while the Dou Qi circulating within her seemed to flow much more smoothly.

Sensing the pill's extraordinary nature, Ya Fei could not help asking, "This is?"

"A Seventh-grade Medicinal Pill: the Nirvana Pill. It can improve a person's cultivation aptitude and ensure they encounter no major bottlenecks before breaking through to Dou Zong. It's very suitable for you."
