Did you do this on purpose?

It was now late at night. At An Cailan's strong invitation, Qi Yuan and Bai Xirou decided to stay at the City Lord's Manor for the night and set off again the next morning.

An Cailan personally led the two of them to a quiet and elegant courtyard. The courtyard was paved with white jade, filled with lush flowers and trees, and the buildings were exquisite and magnificent, showing great style.

"Lord Daozi, Sister Bai, you will stay here tonight. It's late, so please rest early."

Inside the luxuriously decorated guest room, An Cailan bowed respectfully to Qi Yuan and Bai Xirou before taking her leave.

Due to the great upheaval at the City Lord's Manor, the servants had either fled or dispersed. Now, the vast mansion was empty and desolate, except for a few loyal old servants.

Qi Yuan glanced casually at the room's furnishings. After confirming there was nothing unusual, he turned to Bai Xirou and said:

"Senior Sister, if there's nothing else, I'll head to the guest room next door. You..."

Before he could finish, he suddenly froze, his expression full of bewilderment.

Bai Xirou, who had been acting normally all along, seemed to lose all her strength and slumped limply into a chair. Her originally jade-white face suddenly flushed deep red, looking as ripe and succulent as a mature apple.

At the same time, her breathing gradually became rapid, and she began to unconsciously pull at her collar... "Senior Sister, what... what's wrong with you?"

Seeing this enticing scene, Qi Yuan couldn't help but swallow hard and asked stutteringly.

Bai Xirou shook her head with a flushed face and bit her cherry lips, whispering:

"I... I don't know what's happening... I suddenly feel very hot..."

As she spoke, her clear eyes suddenly became hazy, as if she were drunk.

"What happened?"

Qi Yuan frowned slightly and immediately stepped forward to check her condition.

He soon discovered something was wrong.

He then remembered that to ensure Bai Xirou wasn't harmed by Ghostly Creatures, he had previously infused a strand of Pure Yang Qi into her body.

But for some reason, this fiery Pure Yang Qi hadn't fully dissipated. Instead, it had begun to surge uncontrollably, rampaging through her Qi Sea and Meridians.

Now, Bai Xirou's entire body was burning hot, like a blazing furnace. If not resolved in time, it might lead to a great disaster!

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan didn't dare to delay. He quickly placed his hand over Bai Xirou's Qi Sea and began to withdraw that violent Yang Qi.

"Not good!"

As the surging Yang Qi returned to his body through his palm, Qi Yuan immediately felt something was wrong.

This Yang Qi was far too overbearing. Not only was the quantity much higher than expected, but its quality had also reached an unbelievable level.

As time passed, Qi Yuan's face instantly became blood-red, and an unprecedented torrent of heat was drowning his reason.

Cauldron Physique!

Just before losing his rationality, Qi Yuan suddenly realized something. He quickly pushed Bai Xirou, who was clinging to him, away and sat cross-legged on the bed, beginning to exert all his effort to dissolve the terrifying Yang Qi within him.

He knew very well that this incident was both an accident and an Opportunity.

If he could successfully tame this returning Yang Qi, not only would his cultivation surge, but his Innate Yang Extremity Dao Body would also reach a higher level... Elsewhere, after the Yang Qi left her body, Bai Xirou felt a warm and gentle sense of comfort spread through her entire body. All the discomfort from before vanished, and even her cultivation improved significantly, breaking through to the Peak Foundation Establishment level.

"What exactly happened to me just now?"

After letting out a soft sigh, the flush on Bai Xirou's face hadn't faded. But when she saw Qi Yuan's current condition, her expression changed instantly, and she cried out:

"Junior Brother Qi!"

At this moment, the clothes on Qi Yuan's body had long since been burned away. His face was red as fire, his lips were cracked, the veins on his skin were bulging, and his whole body was trembling incessantly.

Could it be Qi Deviation?

This terrifying thought sent Bai Xirou into a panic. Without a second thought, she rushed to the bedside and whispered into Qi Yuan's ear:

"Junior Brother Qi, I can save you. Cast aside your distracting thoughts immediately, relax your mind, and circulate the Yin Yang Transformation Scripture..."

In the next moment, Qi Yuan, who was suffering in agony, suddenly felt a familiar sensation on his lips. Then, strands of sweet coolness flowed into his mouth, making his spirit rally.

Feeling slightly better, Qi Yuan instinctively wanted more. He reached out and subconsciously pulled that fragrant, warm, and soft body into his arms... Soon, surges of Extreme Yin Qi flowed into his limbs and bones, gradually extinguishing the boiling flames within his body... "Ding! Host has completed the mission objective: Use the Yin Yang Transformation Scripture to save Senior Sister Bai Xirou and raise your cultivation to the Foundation Establishment Realm"

"Reward: 1,000 Counterattack Points, 15 Peak-grade Essence Condensing Pills, Peak-grade Magical Artifact Darklight Qilin Sword, Portable Space expanded from 300 cubic meters to 500 cubic meters, and a new talent [Eating Soft Rice by Force]"

"Ding! Rewards have been automatically distributed to the Host's Portable Space. The target for the new talent can be selected in the System's talent interface..."

The System's cold notification sounded in his mind. The unconscious Qi Yuan slowly opened his eyes. After a brief moment of confusion, he immediately saw a beautiful and refined face beside him.

At this moment, Bai Xirou's eyes were tightly closed, her brow still carried a hint of fatigue, and her long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, giving her a pitiable appearance.

Ah?

Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly sat up. The coolness on his upper body made him fully awake. The previous scenes flashed through his mind like a passing shadow.

At the same time, waves of shock rose in his heart.

He really didn't expect that Bai Xirou, the Senior Sister of the Righteous Path School Falling Cloud Valley, actually possessed a Peak-grade Cauldron Physique!

The Yang Qi he had transferred earlier had grown wildly within her body, eventually reaching a point where even he, the owner of the Yang Qi, couldn't withstand it.

If someone hadn't sacrificed themselves to save him just now, he would have probably been blown apart by the massive amount of Yang Qi... Thinking of this, Qi Yuan looked at Bai Xirou with a complex gaze, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Originally, he had planned to Cultivate feelings with her properly and then complete the System mission when the time was right, to avoid appearing too much like a scumbag.

Unexpectedly, things didn't go as planned, and it "happened" so quickly... Additionally, he found that the amount of spiritual energy in his body had more than doubled, like a vast ocean, extremely abundant. That Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul had undergone some kind of transformation, becoming even more solid and refined, vaguely emitting a heart-palpitatingly terrifying energy.

Nascent Soul Mid-stage!

Qi Yuan was shocked once again.

One must know that after two reinforcements from the System, his Spiritual Root Aptitude had already reached an inconceivable level.

Whether he was sleeping, eating, or drinking, his cultivation was growing every moment. A single day of casual cultivation was worth half a month for others.

Even so, it had been less than a month since he broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and he should have been far from the Nascent Soul Mid-stage. He hadn't expected to break through in a single night.

The Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique provided by the System, the Yin Yang Transformation Scripture, combined with a Peak-grade Cauldron, the effect was simply terrifying!

Just as Qi Yuan was immersed in the joy of breaking through his Realm, Bai Xirou let out a soft groan that sounded both painful and charming. She propped herself up with her hands and slowly sat up.

Due to her body curving, the thin fur covering her shoulders also quietly slipped off... Seeing Qi Yuan's dazed gaze, Bai Xirou immediately realized something. She hurriedly pulled the thin fur to cover her chest and asked in a faint tone:

"You, did you do it on purpose?"
