44: The eighth level of the Divine Illumination Realm! Ning Yudie... is jealous!

Chaos Star Power surged like warm lava through Su Ningxue's body, tempering her. The fledgling Ice Soul Star Body greedily absorbed this power of creation from Chaos. With every wash, her Ice Soul Origin became more condensed and pure! That imperceptible wisp of Chaos aura was like a seed, quietly taking root deep within her life Origin, bringing about a transformative metamorphosis!

"Mm... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue's consciousness was hazy, her red lips slightly parted as she let out an uncontrollable moan filled with extreme satisfaction and charm. She felt as if her body no longer belonged to her; under the baptism of Chaos Star Power, every inch of her skin cheered and every cell trembled! It was an ultimate pleasure that transcended the Physical Body and touched the Soul! She could even clearly "see" dots of Chaos starlight, like newborn stars, quietly lighting up within the ice-blue Ice Soul Origin inside her! The Ice Soul Star Body... was evolving!

The massive power boost and the ultimate pleasure of Soul Fusion flooded Su Ningxue like a tsunami! She could no longer control herself; her body trembled violently, and she let out a high-pitched, melodious cry: "Ah—!!!"

That sound was like ice crystals shattering on lava, clear yet burning, filled with unspeakable satisfaction and release! She slumped down like mud, as if all her bones had been removed, collapsing onto the prayer mat. Her deer-like eyes were hazy and watery, her cheeks flushed as if drunk, and her red lips were slightly open, panting heavily. Her entire body radiated an alluring pink glow and... a faint wisp of Chaos starlight!

Zhaoshen Realm Seventh Stage Peak! chaos medicine cauldron Projection preliminary Fusion! The power of the Nascent Star Domain skyrocketed! His control over life Origin reached an unprecedented height! He could even clearly perceive the faint but vibrant fledgling Chaos Star Body newly born within Su Ningxue in his arms! This girl... has quite the Opportunity!

He looked down at the girl slumped on the ground, as gorgeous as a begonia wet with rain. Her hazy eyes, flushed cheeks, and heavy breathing... all exuded a fatal temptation. An unspeakable sense of satisfaction and... a... more burning desire... quietly rose.

"Ningxue..." Jiang Linfeng's voice was deep, with a hint of raspy magnetism.

"Sect... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue struggled to lift her eyelids, her deer-like eyes shimmering with water, filled with deep attachment and... a... shy longing. "Disciple... Disciple... feels... so good..." Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, filled with the lazy charm after being moved. Her small hand unconsciously grabbed the corner of Jiang Linfeng's robe, her cold fingers trembling slightly.

[Ding! Su Ningxue intimacy +15! (Currently 158%! Intimacy continues to overflow!)]

[Obtained rewards: Chaos Ice Soul Star Body comprehension fragments ×3! Star Origin Essence ×1!]

Jiang Linfeng's eyes darkened slightly. This girl... had tasted the sweetness and... was exceptionally gifted. The fledgling Chaos Ice Soul Star Body... if nurtured well... her future achievements would be limitless! More importantly... Dual Cultivation with her provided immense benefits to his control and enhancement of Chaos power!

He leaned down, extending his long fingers to gently brush against the girl's burning cheek, feeling the Chaos Star Power surging under that delicate skin. The cold touch from his fingertips made Su Ningxue tremble all over, letting out an even more alluring moan.

"Tonight..." Jiang Linfeng's voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable possessiveness, "you... did very well."

"Now... for this seat... stabilize your Realm."

"Throughout the night... without ceasing!"

"Yes... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue's deer-like eyes widened instantly, then were flooded by a thick, inseparable shyness and wild joy! Throughout the night... without ceasing?! She bit her lower lip hard to keep herself from making embarrassing sounds, only responding with a trembling nasal hum as thin as a mosquito's buzz. Her body, however, was like the most submissive lamb, actively snuggling into Jiang Linfeng's embrace, her cold small hands wrapping around his back... Deep within the void, in the temporary palace of the Ice Soul Divine Palace.

"Boom—!!!"

A deafening roar! The mirror carved from ten-thousand-year-old mysterious ice shattered violently, turning into a sky full of ice crystal powder!

"vile maid! You deserve to die! You deserve to die—!!!"

Ning Yudie's shriek was like a billion ice cones exploding simultaneously! It carried overwhelming fury, crazed jealousy, and... a hint of... bitterness that even she hadn't noticed! Her ice-blue pupils stared fixedly at the final scene of the dissipating water mist—Jiang Linfeng leaning down, his fingers gently caressing that vile maid's burning cheek! That vile maid snuggled in his arms, her face flushed, her eyes like silk!

"Chaos Ice Soul Star Body?! A fledgling?!" Ning Yudie's beautiful face was a mask of distortion! She hadn't hesitated to blood sacrifice billions of living beings to force a Breakthrough to the Void Tribulation Great Perfection! She was even preparing for another blood sacrifice to strike for the Chaos Ice Soul! But... but that lowly maid servant! Actually... actually under Jiang Linfeng's "nourishment"... took a step ahead... and touched the threshold of Chaos?!

On what basis?!

She was the Saintess of the Ice Soul Divine Palace! A once-in-ten-thousand-years Ice Soul Divine Body! Yet... yet she was preceded... by a lowly maid servant?! And it was in the arms of the man she desired and envied most?!

"Jiang Linfeng! You dare... you dare use the Fusion method I had my eye on... to nourish that vile maid?!" Ning Yudie's silver teeth were almost crushed, her ice-blue hair dancing wildly, the cold air around her erupting out of control! The entire ice palace was instantly frozen into a massive block of ice covered in cracks! The light of the ice soul divine talisman in her palm exploded, and the crack that had just mended on the talisman... actually showed signs of splitting open again!

"This palace... will kill her! I must kill her!" Her eyes were bloodshot, her voice raspy, filled with violent killing intent!

However, deep within her cold killing intent, a more burning, more distorted thought grew wildly like a poisonous vine—

"Chaos... Chaos power..."

"Only he... only Jiang Linfeng... can..."

"This palace... also wants... his... Chaos!"

She suddenly raised her hand, the ice soul divine talisman shining blindingly!

"Pass the order! All strongholds in the Northern Region! All vassal Sects!"

"For this palace... capture! Capture all Cauldrons with special Physiques! Ice attribute preferred! Fire attribute too! Wood attribute... no! All attributes! As long as it's a special Physique! Capture them all for me!"

"This palace... will enter seclusion! To strike for... Chaos Ice Soul!"

"At... any cost!"

Qingyun Sect Ruins, the core Thatched Cottage.

Dawn light faintly appeared, and the starlight gradually faded.

Inside the Thatched Cottage, a strange scent lingered, a mix of the coolness of melting ice and snow and the warm remnants of Chaos Star Power. Su Ningxue curled up on a temporary beast-skin blanket, falling into a deep sleep. A faint blush still remained on her snow-white skin, her long eyelashes drooping like butterfly wings, and a satisfied, peaceful smile hung on the corners of her mouth. Around her, a faint Chaos starlight flowed like a veil, guarding her newborn fledgling Chaos Ice Soul Star Body.

Jiang Linfeng sat cross-legged to the side, his aura as deep and heavy as an abyss. He hadn't slept; instead, he was fully refining what he had gained last night! The Fusion degree of the Chaos Medicine Cauldron Projection (Fragment) steadily increased! The Nascent Star Domain became more condensed! More importantly... the deep Fusion with Su Ningxue's Chaos Ice Soul Star Body had given him a qualitative leap in his control over Chaos power!

[Ding! Chaos Medicine Cauldron Projection (Fragment) Fusion: 50%!]

[Nascent Star Domain Fusion: 50%!]

[Chaos power control +20%!]

[Realm Breakthrough: Zhaoshen Realm Eighth Stage!]

[Obtained special reward: Chaos Star Domain (Fledgling)! Can fuse Star Domain and Chaos power, skyrocketing in power!]

[Star comprehension fragments ×20! Chaos Medicine Dao comprehension fragments ×10!]

Boom—!!!

An invisible airwave exploded outward with Jiang Linfeng at the center! All items in the Thatched Cottage silently turned to dust! He suddenly opened his eyes! Chaos starlight swirled within his pupils! A terrifying pressure, more vast, more domineering than before, as if presiding over the beginning of Chaos, soared into the sky! It enveloped the entire Qingyun Ruins!

Zhaoshen Realm Eighth Stage! Chaos Nascent Star Domain! Formed!

"Husband... you... you broke through again?!" In the side room, the awakened Luo Yan held Star Universe, her beautiful eyes filled with surprise and shock! She could clearly feel that her husband's aura... was more than several times stronger than last night!

"Mm." Jiang Linfeng nodded slightly, his voice calm yet carrying an unquestionable majesty. He felt the vast power within him, enough to crush the Void Tribulation Realm Great Perfection, and a cold light burst from his eyes! Medicine King Valley... Ice Soul Divine Palace... your end... is near!

His gaze swept over the sleeping Su Ningxue; the girl's peaceful sleeping face and the newborn Chaos starlight moved his heart slightly. This girl... was his lucky star.

"Ningxue," he called softly.

" Hmm... Sect Master..." Su Ningxue opened her eyes groggily, her deer-like eyes still carrying a hint of lingering laziness and charm. Seeing Jiang Linfeng, her cheeks instantly turned crimson, and she hurriedly struggled to get up and bow, but was held up by a gentle force.

"From this day forward," Jiang Linfeng's voice was deep, carrying an unquestionable proclamation, "you shall be... my, Jiang Linfeng's, first concubine!"

"Bestowing the title... Consort Xue!"

Consort... Xue?!

Su Ningxue was instantly stunned! Her deer-like eyes widened, her small mouth slightly open, her mind a complete blank! Con... concubine?! Consort Xue?! This... this... The massive surprise flooded her like a tsunami! She felt her heart almost jump out of her chest! Tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably!

"Thank... Thank you, Sect Master... no... Thank you, Husband!" Her voice choked with emotion, filled with endless wild joy and devotion as she kowtowed deeply! Consort Xue... she... was the Sect Master's... consort?!

[Ding! Su Ningxue (Consort Xue) intimacy +20! (Currently 178%!)]

[Obtained rewards: Chaos Ice Soul Star Body comprehension fragments ×5! Star Origin Essence ×2!]

[Hint: Target's status upgraded! Chaos Ice Soul Star Body growth speed +50%!]

Jiang Linfeng nodded slightly. This girl... was worth it.

However, at this tender moment—

Buzz!

A bone-chilling, terrifying Divine Thought carrying overwhelming resentment and crazed killing intent! As if crossing the endless void, it pierced fiercely into the Qingyun Ruins! Instantly locking onto the Thatched Cottage! Locking onto... the sleeping Su Ningxue!

"vile maid! Die—!!!"

Ning Yudie's shrill, crazed shriek! Like a life-claiming demonic sound! It exploded violently!
