166: Chapter 166 Because You've Grown Up

The next day.

Morning light filtered through the window lattice, falling upon the bed.

Mo Zixing slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his Junior Sister sleeping soundly in his arms.

Jiang Yuwei was still tightly hugging his waist, her small face buried in his chest, her eyelashes veiling her beautiful eyes.

It should have been a rather beautiful, aesthetic scene.

But because of the few drops of drool trickling from the corner of her mouth, she looked a bit silly instead.

Mo Zixing couldn't help but chuckle, reaching out to gently pinch her small face:

"Yuwei, wake up, it's time to get up."

Jiang Yuwei only let out a mumble, rubbing her small head against his chest.

Mo Zixing felt helpless.

He had no choice but to carefully slip his arm out and first slip on his own robes.

Thinking that they had to get up early today, he hadn't busied himself with Jiang Yuwei for too long last night.

After only a simple Cultivate for a few hours, he took his Junior Sister's physical stamina into consideration and chose to stop first.

In the end, he just held her and had a good night's sleep.

As Mo Zixing thought about this, he couldn't help but compare her to Su Li in his mind.

When Su Li was in the middle of Cultivate, she was completely different from her usual quiet state.

She was the type who got more and more into it the more she went through Cultivate, wanting to fight for dominance even when she had no energy left.

On the other hand, his Junior Sister always maintained a relatively gentle state, being very tender throughout the entire process.

No matter what he wanted to do, Jiang Yuwei would accept it.

In a sense.

To Cultivate with his Junior Sister was almost like a form of spiritual healing for him.

Thinking of this.

Jiang Yuwei finally sat up while rubbing her eyes, stretching lazily.

The golden sunlight spilled over her, outlining the young girl's increasingly exquisite and shapely curves.

The changes brought by the ningzhi papaya naturally swayed under the morning light.

It was exceptionally conspicuous and alluring.

"Time to put on your clothes."

Mo Zixing picked up the dress from the floor and gently draped it over her head, covering that dazzling view of spring.

With a thought.

He called up their system panel and took a quick scan.

After being repeatedly squeezed dry by Su Li and Jiang Yuwei in turns, his cultivation base had successfully risen to the sixth level of the Golden Core.

Meanwhile, his Junior Sister's Realm had directly risen to the third level of Crystallization due to the massive gap between their cultivation bases.

Mo Zixing closed the interface.

Jiang Yuwei was struggling to pull the dress over her head and onto her body.

But the dress, which originally fit her perfectly, now felt extremely tight.

Especially around her chest, it was so tight that she could barely breathe.

She tugged at the hem of her clothes, her face feeling a bit hot.

"Se-Senior Brother..."

Especially when she saw Mo Zixing looking at her, she became even more embarrassed and murmured:

"I don't know why, but I feel like after my Breakthrough, all the clothes I used to wear have become a bit too small."

Mo Zixing patted her shoulder and sighed with a straight face:

"That's because you've grown up."

"I-Is that so?"

Jiang Yuwei didn't fully understand what he meant; she just blinked, her cheeks turning even redder.

"Yes."

Mo Zixing nodded and took off his outer robe to drape over her, ensuring not a single bit of spring leaked out:

"Wear mine for now. Although it might still be a bit too big, it's better than going out dressed like you are now."

Jiang Yuwei obediently took off her tight dress and put on Mo Zixing's clothes.

The loose robe enveloped her entire body, leaving only her small face exposed.

The clothes still carried Mo Zixing's warm scent, making her heart feel warm and cozy as well.

She couldn't help but take a secret sniff, a smile secretly creeping onto her lips.

"Let's go. We're heading to Qingqi Peak."

Mo Zixing took her small hand and walked out of the room.

On the way.

Mo Zixing suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, now that you're in the Crystallization Stage, you should find a suitable Movement Technique to learn."

"Whether it's for traveling or assisting in combat, it will be of great help to you."

He searched through the space inside his Storage Ring and pulled out the copy of "Thousand Machine Shadows" that Liu Qingyan had given him previously:

"You can first learn the one I'm currently using."

"Okay, thank you, Senior Brother!"

Jiang Yuwei nodded, her eyes shining brightly.

The two chatted as they walked, and before long, they arrived in front of the peak responsible for Artifact Refining.

The name of the peak was carved on the tall stone archway.

Qingqi Peak.

Two gate-keeping Disciples stood on either side of the peak entrance, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

Mo Zixing let go of Jiang Yuwei's hand.

He stepped forward, preparing to take out his Elder token to show them.

But the moment those two Disciples saw his face, their expressions immediately became respectful, and they hurriedly stepped aside to bow:

"Greetings, Elder Mo!"

"There's no need to report your arrival. You may go right in."

Mo Zixing was a bit surprised and raised an eyebrow:

"Aren't you even going to ask what I'm here for?"

One of the Disciples quickly shook his head and said respectfully:

"Elder Li has already instructed us that Elder Mo may pass freely without any need for reporting."

Mo Zixing was slightly surprised.

This Elder Li of Qingqi Peak really knew how to handle things.

But then again, that Elder Qin Kuai, who had dared to publicly oppose him before, had long since turned into fish food in the river.

After the events of the Qingyun Sect, the attitude of these Elders toward him would probably change once again.

"Is your Elder Li in the main hall right now?"

Mo Zixing asked.

"Yes, yes."

The Disciple nodded repeatedly and said:

"Do you need me to go and report?"

"No need, I'll go in myself."

Mo Zixing declined, simply holding Jiang Yuwei's hand as he slowly walked into Qingqi Peak.

After walking for a while.

His Junior Sister looked up at Mo Zixing and whispered:

"Senior Brother, they are all so respectful to you."

"That's because your Senior Brother is powerful."

Mo Zixing smiled and rubbed her hair, leading her all the way to the outside of the main hall.

The Disciple guarding the hall recognized Mo Zixing at a glance, hurriedly bowing in salute, and then announced loudly into the hall:

"Reporting, Elder Mo has arrived!"

Just as his voice fell.

A short elderly man with mostly gray hair walked out quickly.

His hands were covered in calluses and burn scars, and he had a genial smile on his face, looking hale and hearty.

"Ah, it's Elder Mo. Forgive me for not welcoming you sooner."
