As the sky shifted from dimness to brightness, time turned in the blink of an eye, and noon arrived.

When Xia Yu opened his eyes from sleep and saw the blazing sun outside through the gap in the curtains, he was completely bewildered.

What was going on?

He had actually slept until noon. His usually punctual internal clock had failed.

It could be said that this was the first time he had slept in since awakening his memories.

Could Meng Hongchen have drugged him with a sleeping powder?

That shouldn't be possible. She had been even sleepier than me last night and fell asleep the moment she touched the bed.

Or perhaps he had simply fallen too deeply into comfort, holding his petite wife as she completely suppressed the biological clock he had cultivated for so long.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Meng Hongchen, who was still sleeping in his arms.

Her appearance was like a begonia blossom in spring slumber, and the sweet, fresh fragrance wafting from her was indeed somewhat intoxicating.

For a moment, Xia Yu found himself staring blankly at her.

"Mmm, why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

As Xia Yu was lost in a daze, Meng Hongchen woke up as well.

The moment she opened her eyes, she met Xia Yu's dazed gaze.

After looking at each other for a long while, the two of them smiled at the same time.

"Hehe, I know. Brother Yu, you didn't get so mesmerized looking at me that you went silly, did you?"

Meng Hongchen seemed to have discovered something incredible. Her eyes sparkled as she teased him.

"That's right, I was mesmerized. But Student Meng, do you know what you did yesterday?"

Xia Yu did not deny it. Yet just as he admitted it, his tone abruptly changed, and he looked at Meng Hongchen with a faintly amused smile.

"Wait, I can explain..."

Seeing Xia Yu's half-smiling expression, Meng Hongchen instantly understood that things were about to go badly.

She immediately wanted to argue—no, she should say explain herself.

But unfortunately, she was already too late.

In an instant, the world spun around.

As their positions switched, she was swiftly pressed onto the bed.

Her explanation had already reached her throat, but her mouth was blocked at that moment.

And that was not all. In just a few swift motions, the clothes someone had personally put on her last night were stripped away cleanly...

Before long, the lesson Xia Yu had said he would give Meng Hongchen last night was finally made up.

A man had to keep his word. There could be no ambiguity!

The next morning, just as dawn broke, Xia Yu's biological clock was punctual this time.

The moment he woke up, he keenly sensed a faint stirring. It seemed his soul power was about to break through.

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Yu immediately got up, casually found a spot on the bed, sat cross-legged, and entered a cultivation state.

Very soon, under Xia Yu's control, his soul power began charging toward an invisible barrier.

It advanced with irresistible momentum, smashing through everything in its path...

The breakthrough went extremely smoothly, as naturally as water flowing into a channel.

Buzz!!!

Accompanied by a subtle fluctuation of soul power, Xia Yu's soul power reached Rank 93.

Although he had done his utmost to suppress the fluctuations caused by the surge in soul power after breaking through, some still inevitably leaked out.

Struck by that wave of soul power, Meng Hongchen woke up as well.

Still bleary-eyed, she narrowed her hazy eyes and turned toward the source of the disturbance. Then, she saw Xia Yu regulating and stabilizing his soul power.

What was going on?

Why did it seem like he had broken through just because they had done that sort of thing for an entire day and night?

Endless questions rose in Meng Hongchen's heart, and she soon became indignant.

Why?

Why had that hateful bastard Xia Yu broken through?

What about her? Why was there nothing left for her but pure suffering?

Feeling the soreness and swelling throughout her body, Meng Hongchen felt like crying without tears.

However, the feeling came quickly and went quickly. Her indignation soon vanished, replaced by joy for Xia Yu.

Xia Yu was her husband, the person who would spend the rest of his life with her. Naturally, Meng Hongchen was happy that he had broken through.

"Why are they both Titled Douluo, and their soul power ranks are the same, yet Brother Yu's aura feels much stronger than Grandpa's?"

After the initial emotional shock passed and she had calmed herself, Meng Hongchen finally had the time to observe Xia Yu's condition.

She would never have known if she had not looked, but once she did, she truly discovered something different.

Xia Yu really deserved his reputation as an unparalleled genius. He was indeed much stronger than soul masters of the same rank.

He was clearly a proper soul engineer and had never received traditional soul master training, yet purely in terms of the strength of his soul power aura, he was still stronger than those conventional soul masters.

Perhaps that was the power of an unparalleled genius. Even his weak points were beyond the reach of ordinary soul masters.

At that moment, the girl naturally began to indulge in some thoughts because of this realization.

Meng Hongchen considered her own talent to be quite good as well. She could be considered a genuine little genius.

Then what would the child born from the union of two geniuses be like?

Would the child also be a genius?

To be honest, she had never truly thought about having a baby before.

But now, for some reason, she wanted to experience that feeling.

Carrying a child in her belly, watching it slowly grow as her stomach gradually became larger...

Just thinking about it felt so magical!

"Mm, should we have a boy or a girl then? Maybe we should have two instead, one boy and one girl. I wonder if Brother Yu would become a doting dad after the babies were born. I heard that..."

The more she thought about it, the stronger the longing and anticipation in Meng Hongchen's eyes became.

In the end, who knew what she had thought of, but she suddenly stared at Xia Yu and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing about? Tell me."

At that moment, Xia Yu had also stabilized his soul power. The moment he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Hongchen smiling like a mouse that had stolen a cake.

Driven by curiosity, he pulled her into his arms and asked.

"Hmph, I'm not telling you!"

Meng Hongchen leaned into Xia Yu's embrace, but she did not mention a single word about why she was laughing.

She even gave Xia Yu a rather haughty snort.

Naturally, Xia Yu was not going to indulge her. He immediately extended his wicked hands and tickled her underarms.

"Hahaha, that tickles..."

Caught off guard by the tickling, Meng Hongchen could not take it and burst into laughter.

Yet even so, she did not admit defeat. Her little hand precisely found the soft flesh at Xia Yu's waist and gave it a fierce twist.

In truth, with Xia Yu's physical strength, even if Meng Hongchen twisted him as hard as she wanted, he would barely feel anything.

But to play along with her, he still revealed a trace of pain.

The two of them then went back and forth, playfully tussling with each other.

Unlike their usual morning teasing, although Xia Yu continued making little moves this time, he did not take any actual action.

Meng Hongchen might look lively and energetic right now, but if they truly continued doing that sort of thing, she definitely would not be able to endure it.

Therefore, no matter what, Xia Yu would not do anything to hurt her at a time like this.

Did Meng Hongchen know that?

Naturally, she did. Otherwise, how would she dare tease Xia Yu so boldly right now?

It was because she was certain that no matter what, the fire would not burn her.

That was why she had nothing to fear.
