Xuan Yi nodded as well. A moment later, she returned to her room.
Yao Chen was just about to tell her what had happened in the Star Domain when Xuan Yi stopped him by pressing a finger to his lips.
"Don't say a word yet. Kiss me!"
With that, she closed her eyes and waited for Yao Chen.
Yao Chen took a deep breath. Seeing Xuan Yi like this, he rushed over to her.
Another day and night later, Xuan Yi had fallen fast asleep, her face brimming with satisfaction.
Yao Chen, meanwhile, gazed at Xuan Yi with dark circles under his eyes and thought to himself,
"Sigh! These old bones of mine! I'll have to find a chance to go back, or she'll wear me down sooner or later."
With that, he too fell into a deep sleep.

The noise of Yao Chen getting up woke Xuan Yi.
"Why were you gone to the Star Domain for so long this time? Did you successfully absorb the Three Thousand Burning Flame?"
Yao Chen nodded lightly and said,
"This time, I lived up to expectations and absorbed it successfully. I also killed Old Man Mu Gu of the Soul Hall while I was there."
Xuan Yi wasn't surprised that he had killed Old Man Mu Gu. Xiao Yan and the others had already told her about it when they came back.
"So, what are you planning to do next?"
Seeing Xuan Yi ask first, Yao Chen answered,
"I may need to return to the Star Fall Pavilion for a while and tell Feng Xian that we've successfully formed an alliance with Danta."
When Xuan Yi heard that Yao Chen was leaving, reluctance showed on her face. But she understood that she couldn't go
