A Year and a Half

Xia Jiuyou's affection for him stood at 93, somewhat beyond Jiang Yun's expectations. After all, they had spent only half a year growing close.

The Innate Sacred Physique Dao Embryo still lacked 34.06%, and each point of progress cost eight marks.

Even if Jiang Yun worked hard every day, he could gain only twenty-five marks on average. It would take roughly three more years to complete it.

After those three years, he could decide whether to improve his physique or his bloodline next.

The Chaotic Green Lotus Bloodline was undoubtedly the best choice. Jiang Yun looked forward to it.

Early the next morning, a Divine Sun slowly rose. Xia Jiuyou opened her sleepy eyes and saw Jiang Yun sitting quietly beside her.

"Ah!"

She hurriedly pulled the red quilt over herself and curled up like a startled fawn.

Her slender, soft, fair hands gripped the quilt's edge as she scrambled into a corner of the bed. In her haste, her jade-like feet and long legs slipped into view.

Their eyes met, and a rosy blush swept across her cheeks. Last night had left a deep impression on her, and she was a little frightened.

Xia Jiuyou raised her head and glared fiercely at Jiang Yun, revealing a slender, fair collarbone that looked carved from flawless jade.

Farther down, a glimpse of snowy curves showed, shimmering with a crystalline luster that bewitched the senses.

"You villain, turn around! No peeking!"

Still shy after her first night with him, she grew flustered whenever she remembered what had happened. If every day was going to be like that, what would she do?

"All right. Don't worry, I won't look."

Jiang Yun gave her a fond glance and turned around. Xia Jiuyou was still terribly bashful, unable to relax even after their wedding night.
