"Bastard, all you know is how to mistreat me! Awoo, take this!"
Faced with Xia Yu's relentless advance, Meng Hongchen finally grew annoyed.
She immediately unleashed her Kitty Fist, punching and kicking at Xia Yu.
But with her amateur skills, how could she possibly defeat Xia Yu?
Before long, Meng Hongchen was subdued by Xia Yu.
Yet even after subduing her, Xia Yu still did not stop.
Meng Hongchen's pretty face was soon flushed red from his punishment, and her cries rang out one after another...
He was simply inhuman. How could he bully a young girl like this?
"Bastard, you... are you done yet? Hurry up, I... I'm sleepy. I want to sleep..."
Meng Hongchen condemned Xia Yu for his ruthless behavior and utter lack of tenderness toward women.
To show her determination, she even bit down hard on Xia Yu's shoulder.
"Hiss, what are you doing?"
Xia Yu had been busy teaching Meng Hongchen a lesson when a faint prick of pain suddenly came from his shoulder.
Xia Yu's physical strength was already exceptional, and after being tempered by vitality, it had become even more formidable.
It could be said that even if Xia Yu abandoned all defense, blades and swords still would not be able to harm him.
Yet even so, Meng Hongchen had managed to make him feel pain. It was clear just how hard she had bitten.
Saying that she had used all her strength would not have been an exaggeration!
"Hmph, I'm biting you! It would be best if I bit you to death, you bastard... Ah!!!"
Meng Hongchen truly showed him no mercy. Even after Xia Yu spoke, she did not restrain herself in the slightest.
Naturally, Xia Yu had to punish her for that.
Before long, all of Meng Hongchen's words were shattered into fragments by the impact...
An hour later, only when the person in his arms drowsily closed her eyes and fell completely asleep did Xia Yu finally let her go.
"You little thing, you wanted to bite me to death? Do you have that ability? I'll let it go this time, but if you dare do it again next time, it won't end like this."
After lightly scolding Meng Hongchen a few times, Xia Yu adjusted his position so she could sleep more comfortably.
Soon, the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, as expected, they got up late.
Because of that, Meng Hongchen lectured Xia Yu for nearly half an hour.
She rolled her eyes at him dozens of times.
Even so, Xia Yu showed not the slightest sign of remorse.
What else could Meng Hongchen do? She could only forgive him helplessly.
After all, this delicate flower had already been thoroughly devoured and taken root in Xia Yu's patch of land.
They set off again, heading north all the way.
Meng Hongchen wanted to see the treasures of the Earth Dragon Sect as soon as possible, but Xia Yu refused to cooperate.
Xia Yu was not in any hurry at all. There was still more than a month before the Radiant City Tournament began, so they had plenty of time.
Thus, he dawdled along the way, stopping and going at leisure.
If Meng Hongchen had not firmly refused, Xia Yu might even have played the role of a farmer in some especially scenic places, cultivating fields in the wilderness.
Of course, the wilderness would not do, but whenever they stayed at an inn for the night, Meng Hongchen could not escape.
Outside Heaven Dou City.
After all the exertion of the past few days, Meng Hongchen had no desire to fly on her own anymore.
So she openly and confidently demanded that Xia Yu, her husband, carry her with him while flying.
"Hmph, it's all because of you, you bastard. If you hadn't insisted, how would I have ended up like this?"
While flying, Meng Hongchen curled up in Xia Yu's arms. As she tightly wrapped both arms around his neck, she did not forget to glare at him resentfully.
"Meng, that's not right. Tell me, is it really all my fault? Didn't you also..." Xia Yu lowered his head and glanced at Meng Hongchen.
"No! Don't talk nonsense, I didn't! If you say another word, I'll..."
Before Xia Yu could finish, Meng Hongchen interrupted him in a flustered jumble.
Little did she know that her current appearance was completely equivalent to protesting too much and exposing herself.
Xia Yu did not say anything more about it.
He really had been cultivating fields too often lately. Taking a break was not a bad idea.
Besides, over the past few days, Xia Yu had already taken the time to sort out the resonance between the Ghost Martial Soul Origin and Divine Sword Ghost Moon.
It was time to try fusing the two together.
"How about we travel properly for the next few days?"
Once he had made up his mind, he naturally had to say it aloud.
"Really? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Meng Hongchen was skeptical of Xia Yu's decision.
It was not really her fault. Xia Yu had simply been too much lately.
As if he had developed a taste for it, he never seemed able to get enough!
Under such circumstances, how could Meng Hongchen readily believe what he said?
"Why would I lie to you? Meng, search your conscience. When have I ever lied to you?"
Xia Yu was rather speechless at Meng Hongchen's reaction.
Was this really necessary? Where was the trust between people?
"Fine, I believe you."
Since Xia Yu had put it that way, Meng Hongchen believed him.
After all, when it came to serious matters, he truly had never lied to her.
But did traveling and sleeping properly really count as serious matters? Meng Hongchen remained doubtful about that.
Time slowly passed. After another day of flying, Xia Yu and Meng Hongchen arrived near Sunset Forest.
Because Xia Yu planned to attempt fusing Ghost's Martial Soul Origin into Divine Sword Ghost Moon, they did not enter a city to spend the night this time.
Instead, they casually found a valley, set up a simple camp, and rested there.
"Fusing a Martial Soul Origin into a Soul Tool to forge a stronger Natal Soul Tool... can that really be done?"
Meng Hongchen had initially been puzzled about why they were not staying in a city, but after Xia Yu told her what he planned to do next, she had no mind left to care about anything else.
What Xia Yu described was simply too unbelievable.
Making a Martial Soul Origin resonate with one's Soul Tool was already difficult enough.
At least ninety-nine percent of soul engineers could not accomplish something like that.
But Xia Yu now intended to fuse the Martial Soul Origin into the Soul Tool on top of that resonance. The difficulty involved was obvious.
If Xia Yu had not spoken with such certainty and sound reasoning, Meng Hongchen would have thought he was talking nonsense.
Yet precisely because Xia Yu was serious, after her shock subsided, she could not help worrying about him.
After all, no one had ever done such a thing before. Who knew whether it might be dangerous?
Deep down, Meng Hongchen did not want Xia Yu to attempt it at all. There were simply too many unknowns involved.
One careless mistake could very likely damage the Martial Soul Origin.
Such an injury was no joke. A moment of carelessness could affect one's potential and cause one's cultivation to stagnate.
In severe cases, it might even shatter the martial soul and leave someone completely crippled.
But Meng Hongchen also knew Xia Yu's personality. Once he had decided on something, stopping him without a suitable reason was impossible.
Sigh, I just hope Brother Yu succeeds smoothly. Please, please don't let anything go wrong.
In the end, with no other choice, Meng Hongchen could only pray silently for Xia Yu in her heart.
She hoped he would succeed in one stroke and that everything would go smoothly.
