The Future Is Long

The Soul Refining Secret Realm, another brand new day begins.

Last night, after Jiang Lin used some very cheesy words, like those in a TV drama, to resolve Chen Jia's inner conflict, Jiang Lin felt his face turn bright red when he woke up this morning and recalled the scene.

It's like recalling when I was a child, standing in front of the whole class and saying that I wanted to be a "Partner of Justice".

"Oh my god! What did I say last night? It's so embarrassing!"

"What should I do? My face is burning red. I need help urgently."

"I Little Jia won't laugh at me."

Looking at the pure and innocent girl still sleeping with her head on his shoulder, her faint fragrance made Jiang Lin feel a little at a loss.

The main reason is that what I said last night was essentially a confession of my feelings.

Although Jiang Lin recently realized that Little Jia actually liked him, he also did have feelings for Little Jia.

However, that unspoken understanding remained unbroken, so her relationship with Little Jia was more of a "more than friends, less than lovers" situation.

But now that he's confessed, the relationship has become a bit complicated.

The key issue is that Little Jia hasn't agreed to be his girlfriend yet.

But Little Jia's shy expression last night should be considered a yes, right?

"Since she's already my girlfriend, how about I give her a kiss first?"

After thinking it over, and then looking at the girl's long, beautiful eyelashes on his shoulder, Jiang Lin decided it wasn't a bad idea.

Just as Jiang Lin pouted his lips like a Psyduck, Chen Jia's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her eyes slowly opened.

"Yo! Little Jia! Good morning!"

Jiang Lin had already shut his mouth by now, looking like a "beast in human clothing," with "innocent" stars still shining on his head.

"Um... Good morning..."

Her little head left Jiang Lin's shoulder, her cheeks flushed as she recalled how she had cried on his shoulder the night before, her small hands tightly gripping the hem of her dress.

In the girl's mind, the words he had said last night kept floating around in her heart.

This made the girl sitting right next to him even more uneasy, and her heart beat faster and faster.

My heart never used to beat this fast when I saw him before.

"I... I'm going to practice my boxing..."

"Oh... okay."

Jiang Lin was taken aback at first, then nodded.

She stood up, her cheeks slightly flushed, and ran out in a dazed and adorable manner.

It was as if if she didn't go out soon, the little deer in her chest would jump into his heart.

Watching the girl's beautiful figure disappear into the distance, Jiang Lin, realizing what had happened, shook his head.

Indeed, I was overthinking it.

The relationship between myself and Little Jia has been like this for a long time, hasn't it?

What I need to do now is to improve my strength! Then, standing atop the City Wall of Ten Thousand Mile City, I will declare Little Jia my wife and rightfully accept those Three Questions Fist.

If it were anything else, Jiang Lin felt he definitely wouldn't be so foolish as to take a beating.

But this is different; you have to accept these Three Questions Fist yourself, and it's the kind that doesn't require Resurrection Coin.

My wedding with Little Jia will be held in Ten Thousand Mile City!

Of course...

Before that, I need to prepare myself mentally for my master, Jiu Yi, and my senior sisters.

This is the most troublesome thing.

However... The future is long.

Before Little Jia reaches the Martial God Realm, I still have time...

After leaving the Mountain Top Cave, Jiang Lin went down the mountain to practice his martial arts.

This time, Jiang Lin once again sought out that Armor Brother!

Jiang Lin, who had already Martial Warrior Fourth Realm, was finally able to fight this armored fellow who was also at the fourth level to a draw, and they were basically able to take each other down with them.

Having resolved her inner conflict and stopped being impatient for quick success, Chen Jia regained her former composure. With each punch, her Martial Warrior True Qi caused countless strange phenomena in the Secret Realm, as if the magma itself was surging for her!

In the evenings, Jiang Lin would Flying Chess with Chen Jia, or they would look at the stars, and Jiang Lin would tell Chen Jia stories of Ancient Greek Mythology.

Because it wasn't a children's version, Jiang Lin was punched and sent flying by Chen Jia while the story was being told...

The relationship between the two seemed to have returned to what it was before, but they both knew that they were closer to each other, or rather, they were more at ease with each other.

Or perhaps, they are both striving for each other in their own way.

Jiang Lin wanted to accept the Three Questions Fist in Ten Thousand Mile City and marry Little Jia openly and honestly, rather than elope.

It would be too humiliating for me to ensure that Little Jia could never return to her hometown.

Chen Jia, on the other hand, was afraid that Jiang Lin would be beaten to death, so she worked hard to improve her strength so that she could carry Jiang Lin away...

Days passed.

A month later, Jiang Lin was able to easily defeat this armored guy in various ways.

This also shows that he has completely consolidated his Martial Warrior Fourth Realm.

At least for now, there's no need for me to cultivate in this Secret Realm.

Just as Jiang Lin was satisfied, having finally achieved one of his small goals, and wanted to show off in front of Little Jia,

Suddenly, the Martial Warrior True Qi of the entire Soul Refining Secret Realm surged into the air like a dragon sucking water!

In the air, the Giant Elephant roared, and the earth trembled!

He then flung his nose at Chen Jia!

At this moment, Chen Jia had entered a state of complete absorption.

Golden fist intent flowed continuously from her body, and the pressure of her fist seemed to condense the air itself!

Thump!

The sound, like the tolling of a bell, reverberated throughout the entire Secret Realm.

The Golden Body Realm is Completed!

Looking at Little Jia in the air, Jiang Lin smiled like a proud father.

Finally, Little Jia has taken this step.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jia straightened her long, slender legs and kicked away the elephant trunk that was thousands of meters long.

Since she was not in the Distant Excursion Realm, she could not continue flying due to her martial arts skills and landed on a Mountain Peak.

But when Chen Jia kicked off with her long legs, the mountain first trembled, and then collapsed with a crash!

The girl transformed into a golden streak of light and punched the Giant Elephant in the head.

"Boom!"

The Giant Elephant collapsed, the earth trembled violently, and lava gushed forth!

Having unlocked his Spiritual Apertures, Jiang Lin on his Sword Flight, his Spiritual Power gathering in his eyes. At this moment, Chen Jia was already kneeling on one knee on the Giant Elephant's head.

Jiang Lin swallowed hard as he watched her clench her delicate little fists.

Chen Jia threw a punch! A fist-shaped crack appeared on the head of the Giant Elephant! Then, the crack shattered like a silver mirror falling to the ground!

At this moment, Jiang Lin realized just how much strength Little Jia had held back when she slammed her weapon...

"Good."

As Chen Jia stood between heaven and earth, a voice echoed within the Secret Realm.

Immediately afterwards, starting from the earth, mountains and rivers began to crack open, and the swirling clouds kept gathering, shattering the entire sky as if a painting was being torn apart.

Cracks began to appear on the statue in the Chen Residence Martial Arts Training Ground.

Meanwhile, in the important Chen clan stronghold of Ten Thousand Mile City, one of the hundred statues of gods collapsed with a crash.

Inside the Chen family mansion, an old man slowly opened his eyes.
