Qian Renxue Compromises

Mandarin Ducks Returning to Nest!

Boom!

This move was even stronger than the Mandarin Ducks Exploring Water Finger.

The shattered void was completely filled with spirit energy.

The violent assault made space tremble.

Feeling the sheer power of the move, Qian Renxue nearly fainted.

"There's an even stronger move! Little Xue, watch carefully!"

He thrust both hands forward, and spirit energy surged forth.

Mandarin Ducks Skimming Water Eighty-One Consecutive Strikes!

The gathered spirit energy swiftly launched its attacks under Shen Tianyu's control.

This technique contained a total of eighty-one consecutive strikes.

The power of each strike continuously stacked until the final blow landed.

The torn space shattered with a thunderous crash, while that patch of void rapidly contracted, tightly wrapping around the spirit energy.

Boom!

"So strong!"

Qian Renxue could no longer endure it and cried out in shock.

Though she was unwilling to admit it, the truth was right before her: Immortal Cultivation was indeed stronger than soul skills.

"You finally admit it!"

Shen Tianyu smiled, then waved his hand, withdrawing the spirit energy from the space.

Red Lips let out a long breath as the soaring heat slowly subsided.

Just when Qian Renxue thought it was over, Shen Tianyu mobilized his spirit energy once more.

"Since you acknowledge it, then learn my Immortal Cultivation method properly!"

"No, no..."

Qian Renxue's face paled. "I won't learn it!"

Her persistence in martial soul cultivation still made Qian Renxue resistant to Immortal Cultivation.

"That isn't up to you. You have to learn!"

Spirit energy enveloped them as Shen Tianyu's expression turned serious.

No matter how Qian Renxue resisted, he directly began teaching her the methods of Immortal Cultivation.

From midmorning until past noon, then through the setting sun in the west.

The entire day was spent teaching and cultivating.

When the sky gradually darkened, Shen Tianyu left for the time being.

After cultivating all day, Qian Renxue lay exhausted on the bed.

Her Golden Silk Dress was soaked through with sweat and had been taken away by Shen Tianyu to be washed.

Wrapped in snow-white bedding, Qian Renxue bit down on her red lips as a tear slid down her cheek.

"How could this man be so crude? I already said I wouldn't learn Immortal Cultivation, that I wouldn't learn Immortal Cultivation, yet he actually forced me to learn!"

The resentment in her heart deepened further.

Wrapped in the bedding, she walked out of the wooden cabin.

A Spirit Energy Barrier trapped her inside, restricting her movements to within ten meters of the cabin.

"Damn it!"

"I'm going to break this barrier!"

As she mobilized her Soul Power, Qian Renxue was stunned.

"I'm level 60!"

A twenty-three-year-old Soul Emperor—no one in the entire continent's history had ever reached such a level.

Without a doubt, Qian Renxue was the first.

In just two days, she had risen two levels in a row.

All of it was thanks to Shen Tianyu teaching her the methods of Immortal Cultivation.

"There's more spirit energy inside my body too."

After her interactions with Shen Tianyu, Qian Renxue already understood what spirit energy was.

However, she still had no interest whatsoever in Immortal Cultivation.

She released her Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and her Fifth Soul Ring lit up.

The Sacred Sword was held in his hand, its light, fire, and holy energies gathered as one.

He thrust his sword forward fiercely, sending ripples across the Spirit Energy Barrier.

"Again!"

He raised his sword and stabbed again. Qian Renxue was frantic with anxiety.

Shen Tianyu was absent at the moment—this was the perfect opportunity to escape.

Even after being captured here, Qian Renxue's mind remained on the greater cause.

Xue Ye was dead. As the crown prince, Xue Qinghe was certain to inherit the throne. Qian Renxue had to return to Heaven Dou City immediately, take charge of the situation, and ensure the plan proceeded smoothly.

The longer she remained trapped here, the more unforeseen complications could arise.

"What are you doing?"

Shen Tianyu suddenly returned, startling Qian Renxue. The snow-white quilt wrapped around her fell to the floor.

Her graceful figure was fully exposed before his eyes.

"Bastard!"

Qian Renxue cursed furiously, snatched the cleaned and dried Golden Silk Dress from Shen Tianyu's hand, and immediately put it on.

"You want to leave?"

"Let me go. I can pretend that nothing that happened here ever happened. I'll handle Spirit Hall's side—they won't trouble you."

For the sake of the grand plan, Qian Renxue had no choice but to compromise.

Even the immense humiliation of being forced by Shen Tianyu to practice Immortal Arts every day here was something she could endure.

"Your promise is something I can trust!"

Shen Tianyu had read the original novel. Qian Renxue had always kept her word.

As long as she made a promise, she would definitely fulfill it.

"However, I don't need it. Even if the entire Spirit Hall came after me, I could slaughter my way through them with ease!"

"What exactly do you want?!"

Qian Renxue grew anxious. "What will it take for you to let me leave?"

"Learn the Butterfly Flower Stamen Art, and I'll let you go!"

At the mention of that cultivation method, those illustrations immediately flashed through Qian Renxue's mind.

The resistance in her heart had already reached its limit.

"Fine!"

She gritted her teeth viciously and nodded. "I'll learn it right now!"

"If you still refuse to let me go after I've learned it, I'll definitely perish together with you!"

"Don't worry. Just like you, I keep my word!"

"We're not alike!"

With an indignant turn, she strode quickly back into the cabin. Taking out the Butterfly Flower Stamen Art, Qian Renxue began studying and cultivating it with complete focus.

"That's more like it!"

Seeing that Qian Renxue was finally willing to cultivate it, Shen Tianyu beamed with delight.

Over the following days, Shen Tianyu divided their time sensibly.

During the day, he had Qian Renxue cultivate the Butterfly Flower Stamen Art, while at night, the Two People cultivated the Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water Scripture.

The days passed one after another, and in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.

That evening, Shen Tianyu looked inward at his Dantian.

"Six Golden Patterns now. The seventh Golden Pattern has begun to take shape as well."

The effects of their many days of Dual Cultivation were extremely apparent.

He was drawing ever closer to completing the Nine-Pattern Golden Core.

Boom!

A wave of spirit energy swept past, and Shen Tianyu steadied his mind.

With a flash, he moved outside the cabin.

At that very moment, Qian Renxue emerged from within.

Qian Renxue had cultivated diligently these past days. Shen Tianyu had noticed, and had prepared quite a few nourishing supplements for her.

Compared to when she had first arrived, Qian Renxue was even more stunning now.

Her skin was fairer than before, smooth and gleaming with a radiant luster.

Her figure was still flawless, only now it was even more voluptuous and shapely.

The Golden Silk Dress she wore seemed to have become much tighter, stretched taut over her delicate body.

"I've completely mastered the Butterfly Flower Stamen Art. You can let me go now, right?"

"I can, but I need to inspect you and see whether you've truly understood and mastered this art."

"Fine!"

The cold-faced Qian Renxue nodded and mobilized the Spiritual Energy within her body.

It had to be said that Qian Renxue's talent was indeed exceptional.

Only five days after officially stepping into Immortal Cultivation, she had already reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

Of course, aside from her talent, Shen Tianyu also deserved credit.

Whenever they engaged in Dual Cultivation, Shen Tianyu would inject pure Spiritual Energy into Qian Renxue to help raise her cultivation.

Now that she had achieved something, Shen Tianyu was naturally quite gratified.

"Little Xue, this is the first time you and I have exchanged Immortal Arts. I'll suppress my cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining as well and fight you fairly!"

"Enough nonsense. Come on! The sooner this ends, the sooner I can leave!"

Spiritual Energy surged from her body, and Qian Renxue's entire Aura changed dramatically.

The hatred in her Golden Eyes seemed ready to burst forth like raging flames.

Her slender jade hands guided the Spiritual Energy as she charged straight at Shen Tianyu.

"Butterfly Swallowing Breath!"

Her Red Lips parted, and vast Spiritual Energy gushed forth.

Scorching air waves churned, filling the entire space.

Shen Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly as a warm, damp sensation spread through his entire body via his Nerves.

What a clever girl. She had already mastered this move so skillfully.

Before her attack could cease, Qian Renxue immediately unleashed her second technique.

"Butterfly Stirring Wind Chant!"
