Arriving at the Outer Academy, Xiao Ze relied on his soul perception to locate the room where Xiao Yu was staying.
"Why are you here?"
Xiao Ze's appearance truly gave her a massive shock.
Logically speaking, outsiders were not permitted to enter Jia Nan Academy without authorization; the consequences for doing so were severe.
The Enforcement Team within the academy was not to be trifled with.
Furthermore, given his cultivation level, there was absolutely no need for him to come to Jia Nan Academy to study.
"Just here to see you. What, no welcome?"
Looking at the beautiful young girl before him dressed in a light purple academy uniform, a faint smile hung on the corner of Xiao Ze's mouth.
Cousin Xiao Yu was as beautiful as ever.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes, her voice sounding somewhat melancholy: "You're here to find Xun Er, aren't you?"
Xiao Ze rubbed the tip of his nose, not denying it.
"Xun Er is incredible now. In just a few short months, she reached the Dou Emperor level and was granted an exception to enter the Inner Academy for advanced studies." Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with envy.
Though they were both of the Xiao Clan, she was still just a lowly Dou Grandmaster.
She was still struggling in the Outer Academy, and to enter the Inner Academy, she would first have to participate in the Inner Academy Selection Tournament.
Xiao Ze saw the envy in Xiao Yu's eyes.
A Dou Grandmaster was indeed a bit weak.
Back at the Xiao Clan, when he had recovered his physical constitution, Xiao Yu had shown interest in him, but at that time, he had already been with Xiao Yi Xian and Xun Er, so he had ignored her existence.
Now, after not seeing her for several months, how could Xiao Ze bear to let her continue like this?
"Cousin, do you want to possess a cultivation speed as terrifying as Xun Er's?" Xiao Ze suddenly asked.
"What do you mean?" As their eyes met, Xiao Yu's cheeks flushed slightly, and her hands fidgeted nervously.
Seeing her tense demeanor, Xiao Ze didn't waste words; he reached out and pulled her slender waist toward him, pressing their bodies tightly together.
"What do you think I mean?"
"This... isn't appropriate, is it?" Xiao Yu turned her head away, avoiding his gaze.
Being held like this for the first time, even though she was his cousin, her pretty face was flushed with shame.
"What's inappropriate about it? I went through so much trouble to come here; are you really going to let me leave just like that, cousin?" Xiao Ze pressed his advantage, his face drawing closer until they could hear each other's breathing.
"But, but you already have Xun Er." Xiao Yu was conflicted.
"Xun Er is Xun Er, and you are you. If you don't like it, cousin, then I suppose I'll just have to go find Xun Er."
With that, Xiao Ze loosened his embrace, preparing to leave.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu grew anxious and instinctively hugged him tight, terrified of missing him again. "Don't leave me!"
She had already missed her chance once; she didn't want to miss it a second time.
As the most outstanding disciple of the Xiao Clan, what girl wouldn't like him?
Even in this Jia Nan Academy, one couldn't find a second person more monstrously talented than Xiao Ze.
"That's a good girl." Xiao Ze gently patted her back.
He then lowered his head and kissed her, and Xiao Yu met him halfway.
The next moment, Xiao Ze swept her up into his arms, her waist so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, sparking wild fantasies in his mind.
Shortly after, the two stumbled their way toward the bed.
A long while later, their lips parted, their breathing heavy.
"Cousin, will you marry me?" Xiao Ze asked at the perfect moment.
"I will." Xiao Yu's eyes were hazy, the blush on her cheeks blooming like early cherry blossoms as her fingertips nervously twisted the hem of her skirt.
Being pinned against the wall for the first time—this feeling was truly marvelous.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for taking Xiao Yu as a wife (SSS-rank). The marriage rewards are being distributed...] [Ding! Marriage reward distributed: Tier 6 Alchemist Talent!] [Ding! Marriage dowry distributed: Emperor Grade Bloodline (Saint Potential)!]
A familiar yet strange voice echoed in his mind. Xiao Ze didn't waste any more time; he gripped her hands tightly with his right hand and raised them above her head, his left arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her body flush against his.
"Cousin, tonight I will fulfill that wish for you."
"I'll let you experience what it means to be a Dou Emperor for a night!"
Xiao Yu said nothing, only clinging to him with all her might.
It wasn't until the following noon that the two finally stirred awake.
A night of high-intensity two-player games had taken quite a toll on them both.
Especially for Xiao Yu, experiencing intimacy for the first time, her voice was nothing short of soul-stirring.
Fortunately, Xiao Ze promptly shielded the room from sound, otherwise, it would have been troublesome if it leaked out.
The messy bed was in complete disarray, with undergarments discarded carelessly.
Xiao Ze had experimented with every new move he had learned during this period on her.
Everything went without saying.
"Cousin, after today, don't linger in the Outer Academy anymore. Come with me to the Inner Academy; that is where you truly belong to shine," Xiao Ze said in a calm voice, stroking the person in his arms.
"I will follow your lead in everything," Xiao Yu replied, lying in his arms with immense satisfaction.
The Inner Academy was the sacred ground in the heart of every Outer Academy disciple, and everyone strove to enter it.
If you didn't enter the Inner Academy, you would be too embarrassed to even call yourself a disciple of Jia Nan Academy.
During their rest, Xiao Ze did not forget to take out several cultivation methods and Dou Techniques for her to choose from, the lowest of which were Earth Grade.
Seeing these stacks of techniques as if they were worthless, Xiao Yu was stunned.
In their Jia Nan Academy, only the Library Pavilion possessed such a collection.
"Cousin, you didn't steal these from the Library Pavilion, did you?" Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
With so many Earth Grade cultivation methods and Dou Techniques, she truly couldn't imagine where else he could have obtained them besides the Library Pavilion.
Xiao Ze's face darkened instantly, and he said innocently, "Cousin, do I look like a thief to you?"
Looking at Xiao Ze's harmless face, Xiao Yu shook her head.
Her man could not possibly be a thief; it must have been someone else!
"Actually, I robbed these from others," Xiao Ze explained.
From the Jia Ma Empire to the Black-Corner Region, he didn't know how many experts had died before him, and their Storage Rings naturally became his.
Although Earth Grade cultivation methods were rare, they added up over time.
Hearing this, the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth twitched.
What was the difference between robbing and stealing?
However, that was not within the scope of her concerns; everyone had their own opportunities, and her opportunity was Xiao Ze himself.
"Alright, Cousin, I will take this Earth Grade cultivation method, and you should put the rest away." After selecting only one, Xiao Yu stopped choosing.
For Xiao Yu, biting off more than one could chew was unwise; the path of cultivation emphasized mastery and excelling in one's chosen field.
Seeing this, Xiao Ze didn't say much; he had plenty of techniques anyway, and she could ask him for more whenever she needed them.
After a night of nourishment, Xiao Yu's cultivation seemed to have triggered a switch, climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a short moment, she went from a Dou Grandmaster to a Dou Ling.
"Cousin, what is happening to me?" Xiao Yu felt completely dizzy.
Since when did she have such talent, advancing a thousand miles in a single leap?
"Relax, this is only the beginning."
With the awakening of an Emperor Grade Bloodline, there would be almost no obstacles before reaching the level of a Dou Saint.
A mere Dou Grandmaster was nothing more than a simple stepping stone.
Seeing this, Xiao Yu naturally calmed her heart.
The entire process did not last long, and once her aura stopped growing, it finally settled at the one-star Dou Emperor level!
