Outside the formation, heaven and earth returned to peace.
The spatial rifts left behind by Guang Chengzi and the other four as they fled in disarray slowly mended under the self-healing of the Laws of heaven and earth.
The sea breeze remained, the waves remained.
It was as if the great battle that had just occurred, one capable of subverting the understanding of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, had never happened.
But within the formation, the atmosphere was even more bizarre than before.
In Lin Feng's embrace, Bi Xiao's body remained stiff, her peerlessly beautiful face so hot it could practically fry an egg.
She could clearly feel her entire body enveloped in a thick, overbearing masculine aura. The steady, powerful heartbeat continued to pound against her heart like a heavy hammer, stirring ripples she had never experienced before.
It's over.
I can't face anyone.
She, a dignified fairy of the Intercepting Sect, had been held in a man's arms for so long, and this was the first time they had met. What's more... what's more, she hadn't broken free immediately!
Bi Xiao bit her lower lip fiercely, wishing she could immediately use an earth-element escape technique and burrow deep into the earth veins of the Three Immortal Islands, never to emerge again.
Just as she was consumed by shame and anger, on the verge of her Dao Heart burning out, the hand around her waist finally loosened.
A sense of inexplicable loss, coupled with relief, surged through her, further confusing Bi Xiao's thoughts.
Lin Feng released Bi Xiao, completely unconcerned by her blushing cheeks that seemed about to bleed. He simply scrutinized her from head to toe with a probing gaze.
His eyes didn't seem to be looking at a peerless fairy, but rather at a tool that had just been repaired.
"Sit cross-legged."
Lin Feng's tone was flat, yet carried an undeniable command.
Bi Xiao instinctively wanted to retort, "On what grounds?", but the words caught in her throat, and she swallowed them back.
She remembered the supreme formation he had conjured with a wave of his hand, the terrifying scene where even a replica of a Sage's Magic Treasure was easily devoured.
Reason told her that in front of this man, her pride and cultivation level were not worth mentioning.
In the end, Bi Xiao could only sit cross-legged with a heart full of frustration and unwillingness. She fixed her gaze forward, focusing on her nose and then her heart, trying her best not to think about the embarrassing experience.
Qiong Xiao, standing nearby, revealed a "just as expected" smile, her gaze towards Lin Feng filled with even greater admiration.
Master is Master. Even the most fiery woman would obediently listen before him.
As soon as Bi Xiao settled down, before she could compose herself, she felt two warm hands gently press against her smooth, fair back with an irresistible force.
BOOM!
Bi Xiao's body trembled violently. Her face, which had just cooled down slightly, erupted in flames once more.
Her back!
That was a fairy's back!
Except for bathing and changing, even she rarely touched it. Now... now a man's palms were pressed against it!
"You..."
Bi Xiao was both ashamed and angry. The magic power within her surged, and she instinctively prepared to struggle free and blast away this audacious scoundrel behind her.
However, before she could make a move, an indescribably pure and vast life energy poured into her body like a celestial river cascading down from the heavens, flowing from those two palms!
That energy was too magnificent, too warm, too... gentle.
It had no aggression whatsoever. Instead, it flowed through her limbs and meridians like the most benevolent spring rain, nourishing everything silently.
The slight resistance Bi Xiao had mustered was as insignificant as an ant before this energy, which was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea. It was instantly washed away without a trace.
She could only widen her beautiful phoenix eyes, her expression blank, passively accepting it all.
What... what kind of power is this?
Bi Xiao's mind was a complete blank.
She could clearly "see" the hidden injuries within her body, remnants of the previous battle that even she hadn't noticed, being repaired and smoothed out at a visible speed under the surge of this life energy.
Her meridians were being widened and strengthened.
Her immortal body was being cleansed and reshaped.
Her Primordial Spirit felt as if it were soaking in the finest chaotic hot spring, every thought becoming clear and comfortable. Many Great Dao Laws that she couldn't comprehend due to her insufficient cultivation were now presented in her mind as clearly as patterns on her palm.
What she found most incredible was that her Dao Foundation, which had just been injured by Guang Chengzi's replica Fan Tian Seal, was not only completely restored but even more stable and solid than before!
From being severely injured and on the verge of death to recovering completely, and then to improving her cultivation, the entire process took only a few breaths!
What kind of heaven-defying creation power was this?
Even if her Master, Sect Master Tongtian, were here, he probably couldn't achieve something so unbelievable!
Bi Xiao was completely stunned.
She felt the continuous warmth from the palms on her back, felt the earth-shattering changes within her body. The shock in her heart had long since overwhelmed all her shyness and anger.
Her heart was in turmoil.
A complete mess.
Who is this man, really?
He possessed power beyond imagination, treating even the Heavenly Origin Sect's Golden Immortals like pigs and dogs, crushing them with ease.
He had mastery over formations as unpredictable as gods and ghosts, able to erect a Saint-level protective formation with a mere wave of his hand.
And now, he had displayed this supreme power, akin to a second chance at life.
Yet... he kept calling his third sister a maidservant.
All of this was like a massive mystery, completely overturning and reshaping Bi Xiao's understanding of the world.
She didn't know how much time had passed; perhaps an hour, perhaps just an instant.
When the continuous stream of power from her back receded like a tide, and those two warm hands left, Bi Xiao jolted awake from that wondrous state.
She instinctively looked inward.
Boom!
An unprecedented sense of power filled her mind and spirit.
Her magic power was perfectly integrated, her immortal body was spotless, and her Primordial Spirit was clear and bright!
She felt that with just a thought, she could summon ten times more power from heaven and earth than before. With the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors in hand, she even felt confident she could fight that arrogant Guang Chengzi head-on!
Not only were her injuries completely healed, but her cultivation level... was also showing signs of breaking through to the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!
Bi Xiao's eyes snapped open, her beautiful gaze filled with disbelief, shock, and ecstasy.
She abruptly turned around, about to say something to that man, perhaps thanks, perhaps a question.
But before she could utter a single word, she saw Lin Feng had already stood up.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at her sitting on the ground, his gaze indifferent, as if the earth-shattering healing he had just performed was merely a trivial matter.
Bi Xiao's heart skipped a beat under his gaze. For some reason, she didn't dare to meet his eyes.
Just then, Lin Feng's calm, yet slightly playful voice slowly sounded, like a thunderclap, exploding in Bi Xiao's mind.
"Fairy Bi Xiao, you can be my maidservant too."
Silence.
A deathly silence.
The shock and joy on Bi Xiao's face instantly froze.
Slowly, bit by bit, she raised her head, her beautiful phoenix eyes widening, as if trying to see through the man before her.
She suspected she was hearing things.
She suspected that due to the surge in her cultivation, inner demons had invaded, causing hallucinations.
What... did he say?
That she... should also be his maidservant?
Boom!
A rage ten thousand times more intense than when Guang Chengzi had humiliated her erupted from the depths of Bi Xiao's heart, shooting straight to the crown of her head like a volcanic eruption!
The sliver of gratitude she had just felt, those faint, unusual emotions, were obliterated by this single sentence, leaving not even a trace!
Utter humiliation!
This was a complete and utter humiliation!
"You... dream... on!"
The three words were almost squeezed out from between Bi Xiao's teeth, one by one.
She suddenly stood up, her movements so fast they created a trail of afterimages.
Buzz!
A flash of golden light, and the imitation Primal Chaos Golden Cauldron – the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, which had struck fear into countless immortals and gods – appeared in her hand, exuding a chilling killing intent and boundless malevolence!
Holding the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, Bi Xiao's black hair whipped around in the wind, her phoenix eyes wide, glaring at Lin Feng.
Her cultivation, which had just surged to its peak as a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, erupted like a raging tsunami, unreservedly filling the entire formation space!
"I, Bi Xiao, was born between heaven and earth, apprenticed to a Sage, and stand tall! How could I be a slave?!"
Her voice trembled slightly from extreme anger, yet it carried a resolute and fierce determination, preferring to be shattered jade rather than intact tile.
"You saved me, and I acknowledge your kindness! If there's an opportunity in the future, I, Bi Xiao, will repay you tenfold! But to expect me to submit, to be your maidservant, is simply wishful thinking!"
"Ask my scissors first if they agree!"
