Early morning.
In a small lake nestled within a mountain range.
Long Xiao was still holding Bo Saixi as the two lingered in each other's embrace.
The Sea God Douluo really was useful.
The aura she released could elevate the lake water. Soaking in it felt unbelievably wonderful, even more comfortable than a hot spring.
If only he could carry Xiao Xixi back to Blue Star.
Thinking back to that year on Blue Star, it seemed to have been August 24, 2023, when Sakura Nation discharged nuclear wastewater and polluted the ocean.
He wondered whether Xiao Xixi would have a way to purify the ocean after losing her karmic connection to the Sea God.
"Xiao Xixi, I'm a little tired. Let's rest for a while, then head back to the sect."
Long Xiao covered his waist as he walked ashore.
He sat beneath a tree to rest. Even though he had broken through to the Diegang Realm, fighting all night still put him under quite a bit of pressure. Bo Saixi was far more oppressive than Qian Renxue and the others.
"System, open the gift pack."
When he advanced to the Diegang Realm, he had received an advancement gift pack. The previous one had contained ten Spirit Continent summoning cards, so this one surely would not be any worse.
[Ding! The host may open it after completing the current mission.]
"Fuck this!"
Long Xiao was speechless. This system really knew how to mess with him. It always ruined the mood and even required him to clear his current mission first.
After merging with Xiao Xixi last night, his cultivation had broken through to the Second Layer of the Diegang Realm under the effects of the Automatic Cultivation Heart Sutra.
He had also accumulated quite a few Summoning Credits and a great deal of wealth. Before long, he could pull off another major draw.
It would be great if he got a few more golden legends. He would become invincible right away.
"Sect Master."
Bo Saixi shyly came over and sat beside Long Xiao. She took the initiative to wrap her arms around his arm and lean against his shoulder, her eyes hazy with intoxication. Long Xiao could also feel the soft pressure enveloping his arm.
At that moment, Xiao Xixi's heart was pounding nonstop. Last night's fierce battle seemed to have opened the door to a whole new world for her, making every part of her tremble with excitement. It had also filled her with a kind of joy she had never experienced before, leaving her intoxicated and unable to pull herself free.
At the same time, it made her even more infatuated with the Sect Master.
"Sect Master, are you not up to it anymore?"
Xiao Xixi suddenly smiled slyly. She had seen Long Xiao's staggering appearance earlier very clearly.
??!
"What did you say?"
Long Xiao directly grabbed Bo Saixi's head and kissed her fiercely.
"Mm..."
Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes widened. The Sect Master was being far too much.
He just started without a word...
Around noon, Long Xiao and Bo Saixi finally flew back to the sect.
"Sect Master, why aren't you flying by yourself again? Are you pretending to be weak again?"
Bo Saixi asked in confusion. The Sect Master had once again asked her to carry him back.
Slap!
Long Xiao smacked her perky rear before explaining, "I can't use my strength too often, or it will affect my recultivation. Understand?"
"I understand."
Afraid that her backside would get slapped again, Bo Saixi did not dare ask any more questions.
The moment they returned to the skies above the sect, they heard pleasant music.
"Wife... ah-ha?"
"Fly freely in your heart~"
Qian Renxue was probably leading everyone in a square dance.
Long Xiao and Bo Saixi arrived at the sect's open grounds, and sure enough, it was exactly as he had expected. Qian Renxue swayed in a golden dress, graceful and enchanting.
She led the dance at the front, while nearly everyone in the sect, men and women, young and old, followed along.
"What are they doing...?"
Bo Saixi could not quite understand this strange behavior.
But once Long Xiao told her what the square dance did, she was tempted. Even Bibi Dong was dancing, so there should be no problem if she joined too, right?
At that moment, Bibi Dong, who was dancing, also noticed Bo Saixi and Long Xiao. Her eyes glimmered with a dark light as she discerned the changes in Bo Saixi.
That was right. Bo Saixi now carried an additional aura that had been nourished by masculine energy.
Something unspeakable must have happened between her and the Sect Master while they were away.
"Sect Master."
After a while, everyone finished dancing and eagerly came over to pay their respects.
Looking at this lively group, Long Xiao felt deeply pleased. There was not a single old, weak, sick, or disabled person in the Divine Sect. Even Mo Duo looked refreshed after dancing a few steps.
"Oh? Mo Ling and Mo Xin have started dancing too?"
Long Xiao spotted the two girls they had only recently captured. Dressed in black martial dresses, they kept their heads lowered and said little. Clearly, they had yet to recover from the shadow of their defeat.
Mo Duo found it even more unbelievable. He had not expected the Seven Demon Generals to be captured as well, but their treatment seemed better than his own, even though he was the one cleaning toilets.
"Sect Master, this is all Xue'er's doing." Qian Renxue hurried forward to claim credit.
"Nicely done."
"Sect Master, how much money did you bring back this time?"
Gu Rong grinned broadly. He had earned over a million gold coins by having Mo Yu perform on the streets.
"A few million Spirit Stones, I suppose. Just routine work."
Long Xiao named a figure that made everyone gasp.
Did the Sect Master fucking rob the Heavenly Sword Sect?!
