The next morning, Shen Qiang opened his eyes, Xin Xiaoting had already gotten up.

She was sitting in front of the dressing mirror by the bookshelf, combing her hair that was pulled back at her temples, exposing a neck as graceful as her stance. From this angle, Xin Xiaoting in her thigh-length sleeping gown, revealed curves that had gained the allure of a bride.

Following the beautiful curves of her back downward, a pair of clean, white jade feet elegantly touched the floor, extending up her jade legs, accentuating her round, firm buttocks.

"You're awake?"

Seeing Shen Qiang's eyes open in the mirror, Xin Xiaoting's pretty face blushed without reason.

The coy look made Shen Qiang unable to help but chuckle softly, "Come here."

Xin Xiaoting playfully chided, "No, you're too naughty."

Shen Qiang's eyes crinkled with laughter, he sat up and, amidst her shrieks, pulled Xin Xiaoting onto the bed, then whispered in her ear, "You are truly beautiful."

Xin Xiaoting lay bashfully yet proudly in Shen Qiang's arms and whispered softly, "Really?"

Shen Qiang laughed, his hand gently caressing her slender waist through her nightgown, "Of course it's true. If I speak even half a lie, may thunder strike me down."

Xin Xiaoting's eyes crinkled with laughter, her expression sweet and satisfied as she rested her head on Shen Qiang's shoulder, "I have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Shen Qiang felt a bit nervous, "Let's hear the bad one first."

Xin Xiaoting smiled slyly, "Because of the exam next Monday, I will have to leave, so for these next two days, I want you to be with me."

Shen Qiang laughed, "How is this bad news? I couldn't ask for more, so I decree it granted. Now, tell me the good news."

Giving Shen Qiang a coquettish glance, Xin Xiaoting giggled, "The good news is that because of the exam next Monday, all the interns in the academy will have a holiday to prepare, so for the next forty-eight hours, I am going to tie you down to my side, and you won't be able to go anywhere."

Shen Qiang laughed, hugging Xin Xiaoting tightly, "You couldn't drive me away even if you tried."

Looking at the content Shen Qiang, Xin Xiaoting's face turned red, she said bashfully, "My aunt won't be back until Monday either."

Lying in bed, Shen Qiang's thought shifted, and he appeared before the stunningly beautiful Qingxuan.

"Congratulations, master. By uniting with this beauty, receiving the nourishment of her virgin Yin, your cultivation has advanced. Entering the Spiritual Movement Stage is now within reach."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly, "Qingxuan, let's skip the formalities, I want to ask you, before you were Soldier Disintegrated in the Immortal Realm, how strong was your cultivation? Were you considered a master?"

Hearing this, pride flickered in Qingxuan's eyes as she knelt before Shen Qiang.

"To answer the master, before Qingxuan underwent Soldier Disintegration, my cultivation had reached the middle stage of True Immortal, ranking among the top five among my peers in Central State."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang's eyes brightened, then he asked, "Can you help me unlock the Immortal Technique sealed within the copper tripod I bought yesterday?"

Qingxuan blinked, then responded, "To answer the master, one excels in different arts. Sealings are not Qingxuan's expertise; Qingxuan is a Sword Immortal, primarily a Martial Cultivator, so in this aspect, I am powerless."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang felt slightly disappointed.

Seemingly worried about appearing less significant before Shen Qiang, Qingxuan quickly added, "However, if the master faces a formidable enemy, Qingxuan can assist in defeating them."

Shen Qiang was astonished, "You can still help me kill people in your current state?"

Qingxuan respectfully said, "Although Qingxuan has undergone Soldier Disintegration and lost much of her great Mahayana power, as long as the master provides enough True Energy, Qingxuan can manifest to assist you."

Shen Qiang was overjoyed at the words, saying, "Then show yourself to me."

Whoosh!

The tall and graceful Qingxuan with her stunningly beautiful face appeared beside Shen Qiang's bed.

Her black hair fluttered in the wind, her beautiful eyes carrying a proud and soaring spirit.

Although Shen Qiang had grown accustomed to Qingxuan, at that moment, he couldn't help but feel dazzled.

But it was just for a moment.

Qingxuan's figure faintly disappeared.

Feeling his True Energy drained in an instant, Shen Qiang stared at Qingxuan in astonishment.

Kneeling again in front of Shen Qiang, Qingxuan said solemnly, "Please master, strive in your cultivation. your current level can only support Qingxuan's appearance for a moment."

Helplessly, Shen Qiang said, "I understand, I still have matters to attend to today, you help me practice."

"As you command."

His thoughts returned to reality.

Shen Qiang increasingly felt that he should put more effort into his cultivation.

Previously, he thought he had found the knack, whether it was Observation Skill, Power, accuracy, or Wind Walk, all could support more time, and he was already enough to handle various complex situations in a short time.

But now, it seemed that he had somewhat underestimated his need for True Energy.

Whether it was treasure appraisal, Medical Skill, or even summoning Qingxuan to save him at critical moments, the required amount of True Energy was extremely terrifying.

Twirling the ugly Storage Ring on his hand.

Once he entered the Foundation Establishment Stage, Shen Qiang could engrave inscriptions, allowing the ring a qualitative leap, and once he reached the Nascent Soul Stage, Shen Qiang could not only refine the Storage Ring anew.

He could also forcibly attempt to undo the Seal of the Copper Tripod's Immortal Technique.

Taking his phone, opening the WeChat group, Shen Qiang saw immediately that his uncle had said in the group, "Ha, Shen Qiang that kid just knows how to boast, thinks he's great just because he went to university."

"Few days ago he was swearing confidently that he'd buy a house within a month. Now he doesn't even dare show his face."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang calmly pressed the voice key and said, "What I said, I absolutely won't change. I said I'll buy within a month, and I will."

"Ha, fine let's see if you do. If you buy it within a month, I'll acknowledge that you, Shen Qiang, are indeed capable. If not, then you're just like your good-for-nothing dad."

Hearing this, Shen Qiang suppressed his anger and replied, "I've taken note of your words, just wait and see!"

"Sure, I'm waiting. Just don't come borrowing money from me when you can't afford it. Honestly, I won't lend you a dime, thinking you, Shen Qiang, can't pay back!"

Just then, the charming Xin Xiaoting came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel, and said seductively, "It's your turn, go take a shower, then we'll go out to eat."

Not wanting to discuss this matter in front of Xin Xiaoting, Shen Qiang, with suppressed anger, smiled and turned off WeChat. He got up and agreed, but just as he stepped out of Xin Xiaoting's bedroom, he turned back frowning and asked, "Xin Xiaoting, if you were to buy a house, where would you choose?"

Taken aback, Xin Xiaoting then giggled and said, "If it were up to me, of course, it would be in the city center where there's delicious food and fun activities right outside the door, and it's convenient to go anywhere."
