Ling Zhenfei indeed said Hoshino Meigetsu shouldn't have come. Initially, Ling Zhenfei planned to break through tonight, and after succeeding, leave immediately, even if he was injured, the guards at the door were not his match.

But now Hoshino Meigetsu came, and in such a manner, if Ling Zhenfei left now, people would think it was Hoshino Meigetsu who released him.

Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless; it seemed he could not leave tonight, perhaps this was destiny.

Once, Ling Zhenfei didn't believe in fate, so he strived to alter it, but now thinking back, wasn't his success in altering fate also due to fate?

Look at Lu Huanong, Lu Huanong's fate—is it really never going to be rescued?

Everything is intricately connected, a tug affecting the whole body, someone once said that a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon Basin might bring a storm to North America.

This is what's called the butterfly effect, Ling Zhenfei never believed it before, but now he somewhat does.

Because by chance he acquired the Dragon Tooth Dagger and Phoenix Elixir Furnace, establishing a connection with Watanabe Nagayumi, then Watanabe Kazushi came personally to retrieve the two items.

But while investigating Ling Zhenfei, knowing he was a Divine Doctor, he asked Ling Zhenfei to come to Japan to treat his father when retrieving the items seemed hopeless.

Upon arriving in Japan, Ling Zhenfei met Hoshino Meigetsu and others. Hoshino Meigetsu persuaded Ling Zhenfei not to cure Watanabe Kazushi, but Ling Zhenfei didn't listen, ultimately curing Watanabe Kazushi.

After curing Watanabe Kazushi, more troubles ensued, beginning with Ling Zhenfei getting injured, leading to a massive confrontation with Ittō-ryū, and precisely because Ittō-ryū knew they could not win, they captured Ling Zhenfei.

They intended to use Ling Zhenfei as a bargaining chip to give to Watanabe Kazushi. That night, Ling Zhenfei planned to escape, unexpectedly Hoshino Meigetsu arrived, preventing him from leaving.

It seemed Ling Zhenfei could only fall into Watanabe Kazushi's hands, this is destiny—inescapable fate.

"Ling Zhenfei don't worry about me, just leave, this matter originally isn't yours, if you don't go my conscience would be hard to rest."

Hoshino Meigetsu implored Ling Zhenfei; from her perspective, Ling Zhenfei was captured entirely because of her, so if Ling Zhenfei truly was taken away by Watanabe Kazushi and something happened, her conscience would severely condemn her.

Ling Zhenfei said, "You don't need to persuade me anymore, I've already decided, I can't leave, risking implicating you."

"But..." Hoshino Meigetsu's words reached her lips but were unsaid, thus she sat beside Ling Zhenfei, just sitting there,

Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei, "You're really too good, I've lived here since childhood, everywhere is calculated exchanges of interest, never have I seen someone like you who cares for others.

Look at you, then look at Ittō-ryū and Iga-ryu others, simply worlds apart, deceit and betrayal abound and not a single good thing."

Although Hoshino Meigetsu's words were somewhat harsh, since Ling Zhenfei arrived here, indeed he only saw humanity's treachery, Iga-ryu's deceit, and Ittō-ryū willing to sacrifice him for their benefit.

Just like Hoshino Meigetsu said, truly there isn't a single good person.

"Don't say that, at least you're good, disregarding your own safety trying to release me, you see, not everything is bad, even if your elder decided to hand me over to Watanabe Kazushi, it's to avoid Ittō-ryū's slaughter."

Hoshino Meigetsu widened her eyes, looking at Ling Zhenfei, "How can you be such a person, always thinking of others; they handed you to Watanabe Kazushi yet you still speak for them, you must be an Immortal from the heavens."

Ling Zhenfei smiled: "If I were an Immortal, there wouldn't be a need to be trapped here."

Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei, her eyes full of admiration, never having seen someone like him, always thinking of others in any matter.

"You know, from childhood till now I've never felt this way about anyone, especially a man, I don't know how to describe it."

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you don't know how to describe it, then don't."

Hoshino Meigetsu shook her head: "No, I must say, I like being with you."

Ling Zhenfei looked at Hoshino Meigetsu. When their eyes met, it was as if something erupted—a kind of invisible spark.

The two were already very close, at this moment their hearts led them slowly nearer and nearer.

At this moment, there was no Celestial Maiden, only you and I, he and she. Hoshino Meigetsu was exceptionally natural, closing her eyes to enjoy all Ling Zhenfei brought.

When one loves someone, they are willing to sacrifice everything for them. Actually, by coming tonight, Hoshino Meigetsu was already prepared to sacrifice for Ling Zhenfei.

So now, Hoshino Meigetsu was very natural, as the mental burden was gone, she could sincerely enjoy everything.

It seemed like a very special aura ran through Ling Zhenfei's entire body, but at this moment Ling Zhenfei couldn't care about so much, why worry?

But Ling Zhenfei sat in a circle and began cultivating, and in that instant, Ling Zhenfei sensed he was about to break through, the Northern Spiritual Energy within could no longer be suppressed.

Ling Zhenfei didn't have time for more thoughts, and immediately began cultivating, gaining more Northern Spiritual Energy just now.

Hoshino Meigetsu, also a cultivator and a Spiritual Cultivator, capable of becoming Ittō-ryū's Celestial Maiden, had an excellent constitution and many years of cultivation, far surpassing other women.

Ling Zhenfei sat on the ground, Northern Spiritual Energy whirled swiftly inside, visible even to the naked eye, Hoshino Meigetsu looked at the Northern Spiritual Energy surrounding Ling Zhenfei, showing an astonished expression, practically unbelievable.

She suddenly felt her strength significantly improved, jumping from mid Zhiyi straight into Late Stage of Zhiyi.

But just then she suddenly saw Ling Zhenfei let out an exclamation, a burst of Golden Light rushed into the sky, and an immense amount of Northern Spiritual Energy from all around swarmed towards Ling Zhenfei.

Even a substantial amount of Northern Spiritual Energy surged into Hoshino Meigetsu, who was so shocked her eyes couldn't open.

After a few seconds, everything disappeared, the surroundings reverted to their former condition, still dim, and as unkempt as before.

Ling Zhenfei sat there, slowly opening his eyes, as they opened a flash of Golden Light crossed them, astonishing Hoshino Meigetsu greatly.

"What happened?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked with surprise.

Ling Zhenfei stood and slowly put on the clothes he had taken off earlier and said, "Nothing, I just broke through to the Dawen Realm."

"What, you broke through to the Dawen Realm?" Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei in shock.

One must know, breaking through to the next Realm is extremely difficult, often requiring the aid of Breakthrough Pill to accomplish a breakthrough into the Mingmu Realm.
