Eighth-Tier Pill? Nine-Colored Pill Lightning? It Wasn't Over Yet!

Once the battle began inside the bedchamber, there was no stopping it.

A man and a dragon collided again and again in the darkness, sounds of things breaking and bodies clashing echoing through the room.

Zi Yan's physique was extraordinary to begin with. After awakening her Dragon-Phoenix Bloodline, her physical strength had long surpassed that of most Ancient Void Dragons.

Even so, she could trade blows with Xiao Yan at first, but as he gradually seized the initiative, the fight became a one-sided rout.

With his fearsome physique and the power of the Ox, Dog, Rabbit, and other Talismans, Xiao Yan had no fear of the dragon's provocations. The longer they fought, the fiercer he became...

Zi Yan would soon enter seclusion for a long time. During that period, she might not be able to see Xiao Yan at all.

So the little dragon threw herself into it with particular vigor, as though she wanted to use up all their future encounters in advance.

Since Zi Yan wanted that, Xiao Yan was more than happy to oblige.

And just like that, a month flew by.

Xiao Yan emerged victorious and left Zi Yan's bedchamber looking bright-eyed and full of energy.

No sooner had he stepped out than he ran into a beautiful woman in a black dress.

It was Zhu Ling. She studied him with a knowing look, as though she had discovered some little secret.

A month earlier, she had sensed Xiao Yan sneaking into Zi Yan's bedchamber. Because she trusted him, she had not stopped him.

After he went in, he had somehow blocked even her senses. She was intensely curious about what the two of them had done inside.

Sensing her gaze, Xiao Yan kept his expression steady and feigned confusion. "Senior Zhu Ling, is something wrong?"
