The Gentle Yue Ru

Although Shi Kang was covered in wounds, with bloody gashes crisscrossing his body and leaving dark red marks on his skin, and his Dou Qi completely drained, his face was filled with a brilliant, satisfied smile.

Ever since breaking through to the Dou Zong realm, Shi Kang had always found his true combat strength as unclear as flowers seen through mist.

During his usual training, although he could feel his strength growing, he had never been able to accurately determine exactly what level he had reached.

But after this fierce battle with Yue Guan, Shi Kang had finally grasped his current level of strength.

If he went all out, fighting a Three-star Dou Venerate would certainly not be a problem. If he risked his life and gave everything he had, he should even be able to barely defeat a Four-star Dou Venerate...

Thinking of this, Shi Kang could not help nodding slightly, the corners of his mouth lifting.

Not bad. He had not disgraced transmigrators.

Although he was indeed still far behind those transmigrators who could casually cross two or three major realms as if they had cheats, Shi Kang was already quite satisfied.

Shi Kang had truly experienced the powerful and miraculous effects of the Myriad Spirits Body Refining Art.

His body was being tempered every moment of every day. He could feel it changing daily, his strength constantly increasing and his flesh becoming ever tougher.

He believed that as long as he persisted in abusing himself... no, persisted in body refinement, then even when his realm became higher and fighting above his level grew more difficult, he would still be able to challenge stronger opponents with this powerful body.

No matter how high his realm is, as long as he can't break through my defenses right away, I'll have the chance to knock him down with one punch. Shi Kang was filled with lofty spirit.

I can make countless mistakes, but you only get one.

It could not be helped. A powerful body meant he could do whatever he wanted.

"With the most primitive body, carry out the most tyrannical deeds; with flesh and blood, reopen heaven and earth; with both fists, set the universe anew..."

Shi Kang muttered to himself, saying things that others would find strange but that made his own blood boil. For some reason, he was all fired up.

Yes, it was extremely cringey...

Shi Kang returned to his residence in high spirits.

The moment he reached the entrance, he saw Yue Ru already waiting there.

She wore a maid uniform as white as snow, the fabric clinging tightly to her body and accentuating her stunning figure. Her baby face and ample chest... formed a uniquely captivating charm.

Her fox-like eyes carried a hint of seduction, while her slightly innocent face intertwined with that alluring gaze. Contradictory yet harmonious, they created a beauty beyond words.

Yue Ru had been carefully selected by Shi Kang from among countless women of the Stone Clan. Calling her one in ten thousand would not be an exaggeration.

There was naturally no need to mention her beauty. She was breathtakingly lovely, and every glimpse of her pleased the eye.

Whenever Shi Kang returned exhausted from body refinement, seeing such a beauty made much of his fatigue seem to melt away.

Because Shi Kang had fought fiercely with someone at the Training Ground, Yue Ru had learned that her Young Master had returned to the clan.

Not only had she thoughtfully prepared a Medicinal Bath, but she had also come out specially to greet him.

"Young Master, you're finally back!" Yue Ru's voice was cheerful and pleasant.

Having not seen his maid for several days, Shi Kang truly missed her. That longing was especially strong, both mentally and physically.

So when Yue Ru trotted over to support him, one of Shi Kang's hands naturally settled on her fragrant shoulder.

Breathing in the faint, delicate fragrance wafting from her body, Shi Kang felt refreshed, as though all his exhaustion had vanished in that instant.

It could not be denied that Shi Kang worked so hard at cultivation not only to save himself and keep himself and those around him from falling into danger, but also because he could not accept the Soul Clan ruining his good life.

Shi Kang admitted that he was merely an ordinary man.

The life he wanted was probably this: slowly growing stronger, having a hearty battle whenever the mood struck him, then returning home to have such a little woman attend to him...

Unfortunately, the Soul Clan was like a sword hanging over his head, constantly reminding Shi Kang that he could not relax.

"Young Master, why did you take so long to return?" Yue Ru asked somewhat curiously.

It turned out that Shi Kang had been delayed for quite some time due to sparring with Yue Guan, which was why Yue Ru had asked.

Thinking about how he had just beaten Yue Guan up, and how he might "bully" his younger sister later...

For some reason, that made him feel a little guilty.

"I was delayed taking care of something..." Shi Kang answered vaguely.

Yue Ru did not press further. She had only asked casually.

Then, she helped Shi Kang go soak in the Medicinal Bath.

"Young Master, I have already prepared the Medicinal Bath for you," Yue Ru said softly.

Shi Kang nodded.

Although cultivating the Myriad Spirits Body Refining Art had already rapidly increased the strength of his body, who would ever complain about becoming stronger?

Besides, this was also a gesture of care from his little maid. He could not let it go to waste.

Not only could he not let it go to waste, he ought to reward her as well!

As he thought this, Yue Ru had already helped Shi Kang remove his outer clothes and carefully supported him into the medicinal tub.

Just as Yue Ru was about to step aside and stand guard as usual, Shi Kang grabbed her.

"Today, soak with me..."

In this private space, with a lone man and woman sharing a room, an ambiguous yet heated "battle" was unavoidable.

Yue Ru was still as obedient as ever, allowing Shi Kang to have his way.

And whenever Shi Kang saw her gritting her teeth and enduring it, a trace of cruel excitement inevitably rose in his heart.

The two moved from the medicinal tub to the bed in the room...

After Shi Kang thoroughly vented his longing for Yue Ru, she leaned exhaustedly against his chest and fell into a deep sleep. A faintly satisfied smile rested on her face.

Shi Kang gently eased her away, preparing to get up and head to the Cultivation Chamber.

However, this was not Blue Star. Cultivators possessed extremely sharp senses.

Although Yue Ru was only a Five-star Dou Emperor, she still sensed Shi Kang's movements in her sleep.

"Young Master, rest for one night," the usually docile little wildcat said, rarely acting coquettish.

She truly loved being held by Shi Kang like this. That sense of safety and comfort made her deeply reluctant to let go.

But Shi Kang was a cultivation maniac. Many times, she would fall asleep in his arms, only to wake and find that Shi Kang had already disappeared.

If Shi Kang had not been so "vigorous" every time, she would have suspected that she was not charming enough or that her Young Master did not like her.

"Be good. Sleep well," Shi Kang said softly, reaching out to gently stroke her hair.

He did not listen to Yue Ru. Cultivation still had to continue.

If he did not cultivate diligently now, what would he use to fight the Soul Clan in the future?

Shi Kang was currently a Two-star Dou Ancestor, and he felt that he was not far from becoming a Three-Star Dou Ancestor.

Although his body was powerful, failing to keep up in realm was still a serious weakness.
