"This Myriad Transformations Divine Ability is really hard to practice. I've only just gotten the basics after three days," Zhou Hao pouted and sighed.

If anyone knew he had mastered a Heaven Grade Mid-Rank martial skill in just three days, they would surely be shocked.

The cultivation techniques and martial skills were divided into grades: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, and Mortal. Each grade was further divided into four sub-categories: High, Mid, Low, and Peak. Heaven Grade Peak was the best, but also the most difficult to practice, requiring high comprehension.

For Zhou Hao to master a Heaven Grade Mid-Rank martial skill in three days, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a peerless genius. This also proved that the choice of the Spirit-Womb Ring was indeed correct.

Zhou Hao stopped cultivating, calculated the time, and muttered, "It's been three days. The old gossip should be here by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed, and Murong appeared before him.

"Who were you calling an old gossip?" Murong asked, scrutinizing him.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Zhou Hao's forehead. He chuckled nervously, "No, I didn't say 'old gossip'! Maybe you misheard, hehe..."

"Hehehe." Murong mimicked his laugh three times, then her expression instantly turned serious. "Are you tired of living?"

Zhou Hao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and immediately apologized with a fawning smile, "I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again."

He said that, but only he knew what he was truly thinking.

Murong waved her sleeve, and the Throne of Ice condensed. She sat down and looked at Zhou Hao, asking, "Do you still remember what you should call me?"

"I remember, I remember, Your Majesty," Zhou Hao said obsequiously.

Murong nodded with satisfaction, then sized him up from head to toe.

"Not bad, you're starting to look like a person."

Zhou Hao smiled, "Thanks to..."

Before he could finish, he heard Murong speak again, "Take off your clothes!"

Zhou Hao's lips twitched. He exclaimed inwardly, Good heavens, you're always so impatient. May Heaven bless you so you don't get pregnant.

He cursed Murong fiercely in his heart.

But in action, he followed Murong's command and obediently took off his clothes, even asking, "Can you bring me some underwear next time? It feels strange not wearing any."

Murong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, hurry up and take them off."

Zhou Hao rolled his eyes, unconsciously speeding up his actions. He was soon completely undressed.

Murong, on the other hand, simply dissipated her own clothes.

Seeing this, Zhou Hao felt envious. If she had that skill, why bother with taking them off?

While he was lost in thought, Murong pressed down on him, and then followed a period of indescribable, intimate scenes.

Fifty minutes later, Murong and Zhou Hao concluded their "battle."

It wasn't that they couldn't continue, but Murong had specifically saved some time to give Zhou Hao the things she had brought.

"Just place these two Fire Crystals around the two eggs. They'll automatically supply energy and heat to the eggs."

Murong tossed two Fire Crystals to Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao quickly caught them. Such treasures were not to be refused. He wouldn't be foolish enough like before to throw away the hard-earned Divine Crystals.

"And this," Murong continued, tossing Zhou Hao a golden-patterned wooden box the size of a Rubik's Cube.

Zhou Hao opened it as he asked, "What is this?"

"Cough cough~" Murong coughed twice and explained, "It's a Foundation Strengthening Pill. It's mainly for replenishing the kidneys. You... you've been working hard lately, so... you understand."

That's right, this Foundation Strengthening Pill was something she had decided to bring for Zhou Hao after thinking for three days. After all, in her eyes, Zhou Hao was just a mortal, and prolonged exertion would surely lead to depletion.

Zhou Hao was greatly surprised by this and snorted, "Do you think I need this kind of thing?"

"You do," Murong replied honestly and plainly.

This felt like a stab to Zhou Hao's chest, but he was powerless to refute it, so he simply didn't.

He silently accepted the Foundation Strengthening Pill, then pointed at the ceiling, changing the subject, "Can you go to the floor above?"

Murong followed his gaze and nodded, "Yes."

This was a simple task for her.

"Um..." Zhou Hao hesitated, thinking to himself, Would it be undignified to ask her for help?

Murong raised an eyebrow slightly, flashed, and disappeared. In a short while, she reappeared before Zhou Hao with a Divine Crystal.

"You want this?"

Zhou Hao looked at the Divine Crystal, paused, and asked, "How did you know?"

"There's only one Divine Crystal up there. What do you think?" Murong rolled her eyes slightly.

Zhou Hao smiled and reached out to take the Divine Crystal from her hand.

However, Murong retracted her hand just as Zhou Hao's fingers were about to touch it.

Zhou Hao's grasp missed, and his hand was left awkwardly suspended in mid-air.

Murong raised the Divine Crystal in her hand and asked with a smile, "Did you throw it away?"

"No, absolutely not." Zhou Hao's mind raced as he concocted a lie. "The reason I separated from it was due to the mechanisms. The ceiling opened, and I fell without warning. The Divine Crystal remained above. I never intended to be separated from it."

Damn, is this old hag going to take it back?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Murong said, "Since you don't want it, I'll take it back then."

"No, I want it," Zhou Hao quickly replied.

His eager expression made Murong feel his attachment to the Divine Crystal.

Murong looked at his genuine display of emotion and nodded. "I know you want it now, but you definitely threw it away before, otherwise, why would it be lying in the corner?"

Zhou Hao sighed softly and confessed, "Alright! I admit, I did throw it away, but I've sincerely repented. Give me another chance."

As he spoke, he extended his hands to Murong.

Murong covered her mouth and chuckled, placing the Divine Crystal in his hand. She smiled and said, "You're so amusing."

In truth, she just wanted to tease Zhou Hao a little. With her status, how could she possibly care about a mere Divine Crystal?

She just hadn't expected that teasing Zhou Hao would be quite so entertaining.

Zhou Hao's mouth twitched. He knew now that Murong had been playing with him.

But there was nothing he could do. She had the power, after all!

He fell silent for a moment, secretly vowing in his heart that once his cultivation improved, he would teach this old hag a lesson on how to behave.

Murong asked with a smile, "Are you angry?"

Zhou Hao's expression instantly turned into a smile, and he shook his head. "No."

"If you're angry, tell me. I promise I won't hit you," Murong said, her eyes narrowing in a smile that didn't quite reach them.

This... What could Zhou Hao say? Of course, he stuck to his previous statement, firmly shaking his head. "I'm absolutely, absolutely not angry."

Murong nodded with satisfaction, patting his shoulder. "This Divine Crystal will greatly benefit the purification of your energy. Make good use of it. Then... I'll see you in three days."

Her voice still echoed in the secret chamber, but she had already vanished.

Zhou Hao looked at the Divine Crystal and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although he had been teased by Murong, he had obtained the Divine Crystal. Those minor matters were not worth mentioning.
