Chapter 51 The plan for the day begins in the morning
"Good morning, Master's wife."
Zhou Tian smiled and spoke, his arm naturally encircling her slender waist, pulling her closer to him.
This action made Su Meili freeze.
She looked up and met those deep, smiling eyes.
The scenes from last night flashed through her mind again, making her so ashamed that she almost wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground.
"You...you let me go..."
Su Meili's voice was soft and trembling, completely lacking its usual authority.
"open?"
"That's not what my master's wife said last night. What did she say again? Something like 'Don't stop' or something."
Zhou Tian raised an eyebrow and gently stroked her smooth back with his other hand.
"You...you're not allowed to say it!"
Su Meili glared at him with a mixture of shame and indignation, her expression more like coquettishness than anger.
She reached out to cover Zhou Tian's mouth, but Zhou Tian grabbed her wrist instead.
"Okay, okay, I won't say."
"So, did your master's wife herself say that last night... she was satisfied?"
Zhou Tian readily agreed, but the smile in his eyes grew even stronger.
This question made Su Meili blush even more.
She turned her face away, not daring to look Zhou Tian in the eye, and after a long while, she managed to squeeze out two words through gritted teeth:
"....good."
The sound was so faint that it was almost inaudible unless one had exceptional hearing.
"Just okay?"
"It seems I haven't tried hard enough and have disappointed my master's wife. Then tonight..."
Zhou Tian sighed, feigning disappointment.
"you!"
Su Meili turned around abruptly, glaring at him with embarrassment and anger.
"You still want to have tonight?"
Even so, she couldn't help but recall the intense feeling she had experienced the previous night.
It wasn't just the physical sensations, but more importantly, the explosive increase in cultivation level.
Thinking of this, Su Meili subconsciously looked inward at herself.
The next moment, her delicate body trembled violently, and an incredulous light burst forth in her phoenix eyes.
"This, this is..."
She could clearly feel that the nascent soul in her dantian was several times more solid than before!
The nascent soul body, which had appeared somewhat illusory due to the burning of its origin, was now radiant with golden light, its features were clear, and its body was surrounded by an intensely dense spiritual energy.
Peak Nascent Soul stage!
She actually jumped from the mid-Nascent Soul stage to the peak Nascent Soul stage overnight!
Just one step away from touching the threshold of the Divine Transformation!
Su Meili suddenly looked up at Zhou Tian, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"You...your cultivation level..."
Zhou Tian smiled slightly and calmly released his aura.
A powerful aura of nascent soul energy spread out.
Although it is not as vast as Su Meili's peak Nascent Soul stage, it is solid and pure, with an extremely solid foundation, which is the mark of the early Nascent Soul stage!
"Early Nascent Soul stage..."
Su Meili murmured to herself, her eyes filled with even greater shock.
overnight.
Just one night!
She transcended two minor realms and went straight to the peak.
He, in particular, broke through from the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm in one fell swoop!
This speed of advancement has completely overturned the common sense that has existed in the cultivation world for thousands of years!
Su Meili's delicate body trembled slightly.
It wasn't because of the cold, but because of the turbulent waves surging within my heart.
She looked at Zhou Tian, who had once been her "little disciple," but had now become the key to changing her fate, and even the fate of the entire Tai Xuan Sword Sect.
"Zhou Tian..."
Su Meili took a deep breath, suppressing her excitement, her expression becoming complicated.
"No matter what, Master's wife... I really have to thank you."
Her voice was soft, yet it carried an unprecedented seriousness.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly, let alone reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. The Tai Xuan Sword Sect... wouldn't have been able to survive this calamity either."
Zhou Tian shook his head, tightened his grip on her arm, and held her even closer.
"You flatter me, Master's wife. There's no need for thanks between us."
Su Meili felt the warmth from his chest, her cheeks flushed slightly, but she still insisted, "I should still thank you. However..."
She paused, a hint of hesitation flashing in her phoenix eyes, before finally speaking:
"From now on, our relationship can only be kept secret, not known to others in public. At least... not now."
Zhou Tian nodded upon hearing this.
He naturally understood Su Meili's concerns.
After all, she was her master's wife; she had once been Master Wan Jianyi's Daoist partner.
Although she and Wan Jianyi were only nominally Daoist partners, forming an alliance to jointly govern the Tai Xuan Sword Sect, they were not actually husband and wife.
This was personally verified by Zhou Tian last night.
But this title is real and tangible within the sect and in the eyes of outsiders.
If her relationship with Zhou Tian were made public, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar.
"I see."
"Don't worry, Master's wife. In front of outsiders, you are still Master's wife, and I am still your disciple."
Zhou Tian said softly.
Upon hearing this, Su Meili felt a slight sense of relief, and her gaze towards Zhou Tian softened considerably.
She could sense that this young man was sometimes domineering and sometimes malicious.
But when it comes to important matters, he displays a maturity and composure beyond his years.
However, before she could even catch her breath, Zhou Tian suddenly grinned mischievously and leaned close to her ear:
"But Master's wife, gratitude can't just be expressed verbally..."
A warm breath brushed past her ear, and Su Meili trembled all over, her ears instantly turning bright red.
"What...what else do you want?"
"Last night... I went through all that, how else do you want me to thank you?"
She glared at Zhou Tian, embarrassed and annoyed.
