139: Chapter 139 Nascent Soul Stage Physical Body

Three days later.

Ye Xiaoyao sat cross-legged in the boudoir of his Immortal Cave, his eyes tightly closed, his entire body enveloped in a layer of faint golden light.

At first, the light was very weak, like the faint, ethereal whiteness on the horizon before dawn.

But as time passed, it grew brighter and more intense.

Eventually, it illuminated the entire Immortal Cave in brilliant gold, as if a small sun were slowly rising within the room.

Nangong Xiyue had been guarding by his side, not taking a single step away.

She sat on the edge of the bed, her hands clasped on her lap, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Xiaoyao without blinking.

Three days of acting as a Protector was nothing to her; her Soul Transformation Stage cultivation meant she would not feel fatigued even without sleep or rest.

Yet the focus and nervousness in her eyes were more genuine than any protective Formation.

Suddenly, the golden light on Ye Xiaoyao's body retracted violently, as if sucked in by something, disappearing entirely into his body.

Immediately after, ripples of gold began to emerge on the surface of his body.

These ripples spread from his chest, extending along his limbs to his fingertips and toes, before slowly flowing back.

Wherever they passed, the skin would emit a faint golden luster, as if plated with a thin layer of gold.

Under the reflection of the golden light, his muscles became even more defined; each piece had clear edges and smooth lines, as if carved from the finest jade.

Beneath his skin, one could faintly see golden lines flowing; these were the traces of the dragon scale fruit essence surging through his Meridians.

Ye Xiaoyao felt the surging power within his body.

That power was like a flooding river, rampaging through his Meridians, yet he held it firmly in check, not letting a single shred leak out.

He could feel his bones creaking—not breaking, but becoming denser and sturdier.

Under the tempering of the golden light, his muscle fibers were constantly tearing and reforming, with each reconstruction becoming tougher than before.

His Physical Body was undergoing a transformation akin to rebirth.

Finally, Ye Xiaoyao slowly opened his eyes.

A flicker of profound brilliance flashed within his pitch-black eyes.

The brilliance vanished in an instant, but it made Nangong Xiyue, who was watching him, feel a slight jolt in her heart.

In that moment, she felt as if she saw a sense of oppression in Ye Xiaoyao's eyes that did not belong to a Core Formation Stage Cultivator.

Ye Xiaoyao's lips curled up involuntarily, revealing a satisfied smile.

He felt his Physical Body strength and roughly made a judgment in his heart.

Soul Transformation Realm!

Although it had only just barely reached the threshold of the Early Stage Soul Transformation, compared to his previous Physical Body strength, it was already a world of difference.

One must know, he was only at the Early Stage Core Formation cultivation, yet he possessed a Physical Body at the Soul Transformation level.

What did this mean?

It meant that in close-quarters combat, he could directly go head-to-head with a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator!

Although his spiritual power cultivation was worlds apart, relying solely on this Physical Body, he had a certain degree of self-preservation capability.

Nangong Xiyue, who had been guarding by his side, saw this and immediately stepped forward.

She extended her slender hands, wanting to help Ye Xiaoyao up.

Ye Xiaoyao was just preparing to stand up from his meditative posture, so he took the opportunity to hold her hand.

Nangong Xiyue felt the warmth and strength radiating from his palm, and her heart was filled with joy.

She could clearly perceive that Ye Xiaoyao's Physical Body strength was now almost on par with her own.

This left her both surprised and gratified.

She was surprised by how effective the dragon scale fruit was, and gratified that her husband finally had the power to protect himself.

Her face beamed with a radiant smile, and she said softly:

"Husband, congratulations on successfully refining the dragon scale fruit. Now your Physical Body strength should have reached the Soul Transformation Realm; this is wonderful!"

Ye Xiaoyao smiled slightly and took the opportunity to lift her up.

Nangong Xiyue let out a small "Ah," her hands instinctively wrapping around his neck.

Ye Xiaoyao lowered his head to kiss her cheek and said with a smile:

"Yes, Xiyue, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't gotten this incredibly precious dragon scale fruit for me, I'm afraid it would have taken me a very long time to reach this Realm."

He paused, a wicked smile flashing in his eyes, and leaned close to her ear, lowering his voice:

"Hehe, now I finally have the hard strength to break through your defenses. Wouldn't you say?"

Nangong Xiyue naturally knew what he meant by "defenses."

Her pretty face flushed slightly, and she cast him a look filled with love and feigned annoyance, looking extremely charming.

Watching her reaction, the fire that had been pent up in Ye Xiaoyao's heart for so long flared up again.

Previously, because his Physical Body was not strong enough, he had failed many times to break through her primordial yin barrier, which had left him feeling very frustrated.

But things were different now.

He possessed a Physical Body strength comparable to a Fifth-Tier Demonic Beast, and combined with the Pure Yang Sacred Body cultivated from the Nine Revolutions Hegemon Body Art,

even facing Nangong Xiyue's primordial yin body that she had guarded for three thousand years, he would definitely be able to break through it easily.

Nangong Xiyue looked at him with overflowing love, her eyes as gentle as water.

She reached out to stroke his cheek and said softly:

"Husband, now that your Physical Body strength is on par with mine, you must be gentle with me later, okay~? I'm afraid of pain~~"

The voice was so soft and sweet it seemed to melt, making Ye Xiaoyao's heart flutter.

He laughed heartily, stomped his foot, and holding Nangong Xiyue, directly flashed to the side of the fragrant bed.

The thin silk dress slid off quietly.

Nangong Xiyue's flawless figure was fully revealed under the dim light.

Her skin was as crystalline as jade, fair and delicate, without a single blemish.

The candlelight shone upon it, casting a soft luster, like the finest mutton-fat jade.

Her collarbones were exquisite and petite, and below them was that breathtaking expanse of snow-white skin.

Her twin peaks were towering, full and erect, rounded in shape, like two ripe peaches.

A touch of crimson adorned the center, looking tender and dripping with charm.

Her waist was as slender and flexible as a water snake, barely a handful.

The curve from her waist to her hips widened sharply, forming a perfect arc.

Her buttocks were round and perky, like two full moons, plump and resilient.

Further down were a pair of long, beautiful legs, straight and symmetrical, with smooth lines.

From thigh to calf, there was not an ounce of excess fat; her knees were dainty and exquisite, her ankles slender, and her toes as round as pearls.

Her figure was the typical "hourglass type."

Where it should be big, it was big; where it should be small, it was small; where it should be perky, it was perky.

Every part was just right; an ounce more would be too fat, an ounce less would be too thin.

To describe such a figure as "the finest in the world" felt insufficient; it was simply the Creator's most proud masterpiece.

Ye Xiaoyao stared with wide eyes.

Although he had seen her body before, every time he saw it, it still made his heart race and his breathing grow rapid.

Nangong Xiyue was truly a top-tier stunner; her figure was absolutely top-notch.

No wonder Ye Xiaoyao was so captivated and unable to extricate himself.

He could no longer hold back and leaned down to kiss her.
