Chapter 107 Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Ice Crystal Jade Dragon!
Is it painful?
At the beginning, there was naturally that feeling of being forcibly expanded and infused with vast power.
It almost made her think she was about to shatter.
But at this moment, all the pain has transformed into sweet fruit.
But compared to this real, earth-shattering improvement in cultivation, what is that little bit of pain?
Hongyu suddenly turned her head and looked at Xuefei beside her, who was also radiant and whose aura had stabilized at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
Xuefei was also looking at Hongyu.
Their eyes met, and they both saw the undisguised ecstasy and... in each other's eyes.
A tacit understanding of complexity.
What family expectations, what fiancé, what rules of the inner chambers...?
Compared to such real power, everything else seems so pale and laughable.
In the world of cultivation, strength reigns supreme; this is the eternal and unchanging truth!
To be able to climb up to such a powerful figure and obtain such an incredible opportunity is something that countless female cultivators dream of but cannot obtain.
The last trace of hesitation and resentment in Hongyu's heart completely vanished.
Instead, there was a sense of relief, like surviving a catastrophe.
And a rapidly growing desire to grasp more and cling tighter.
Zhou Tian took in Hongyu's changing expression and a knowing smile appeared on his lips.
He gently loosened his arms, letting the two women slide softly to the ground.
Hongyu and Xuefei reacted almost simultaneously.
Despite the soreness in her body and the blush-inducing sensation, she struggled and knelt before Zhou Tian with utmost respect.
This time, they knelt willingly, prostrating themselves completely.
"Your humble servant Hongyu kowtows in gratitude for Your Majesty's boundless grace!"
Hongyu's voice no longer carried any trace of coquettish affectation.
At this moment, only the purest awe and gratitude remained. She bowed deeply, her forehead touching the ground.
"I will never forget your kindness in saving me, my lord! From this day forward, my heart and soul belong to you, my lord. I am willing to serve you faithfully and without any disloyalty!"
Her words were spoken with absolute certainty.
It has completely severed all ties with the past.
"This humble servant, Xuefei, thanks Your Excellency for your great favor!"
"My lord, your power is boundless, your kindness is like a second birth! Xuefei wishes to follow you for eternity, to be your servant and maid, at your beck and call!"
Xuefei followed suit, bowing her head and speaking excitedly.
Two curvaceous bodies, still bearing the marks of lovemaking, knelt unreservedly at Zhou Tian's feet, their posture humble and devout.
The atmosphere in the quiet room shifted from the previous intense and enchanting atmosphere to one of absolute submission and awe.
Zhou Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his blue robe still neat and tidy.
It was as if the intense "preaching and instruction" had never happened.
He glanced indifferently at the two women and nodded.
"Get up. The opportunity has been given, but you also made your own choices and paid the 'price'."
He paused slightly on the word "cost," his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
"I act in a fair manner. You offer up medicinal herbs, alchemy furnaces, and your own primordial yin essence, and I will grant you advancement in cultivation. We are even, so it's a clean slate."
These words are blunt and cold, completely defining what seemed like a sensual encounter as a cold transaction.
Hongyu and Xuefei felt a slight chill, but they couldn't muster any dissatisfaction.
Being able to benefit from this deal is already a great fortune.
"Yes, what you say is absolutely right, sir."
The two women responded softly and helped each other to their feet.
Although his cultivation level had increased significantly, it was the first time he had received the rain and dew, and the "improvement" was so intense that his body inevitably felt somewhat uncomfortable.
They hurriedly took out spare clothes from their respective storage artifacts and put them on.
However, the spring-like feeling in her eyes and the completely changed temperament were difficult to conceal for a while.
Seeing that they were dressed neatly, Zhou Tian said no more.
He turned and walked out of the quiet room.
"grown ups!"
As Zhou Tian was about to leave, Hongyu suddenly felt a great sense of loss and panic, as if the most important support in her life was about to disappear.
She couldn't help but call out urgently, and together with Xuefei, she quickly caught up and gracefully bowed again behind Zhou Tian.
"My lord... are you... leaving already?"
Hongyu tilted her pretty face up, her eyes glistening with tears, filled with a deep sense of reluctance and anticipation.
"I wonder...I wonder if I will have the fortune to see you again, my lord? To serve you again?"
She asked cautiously, her cheeks flushed.
Having witnessed such extraordinary abilities, and experienced such bliss and rapid increases in power.
Having tasted its sweetness, how could she possibly return to the past?
Xuefei also gazed longingly at Zhou Tian, her usually aloof face filled with affection.
Zhou Tian paused slightly and turned half of his face to the side.
Its outline appeared exceptionally deep under the glow of the pearl in the quiet room.
He smiled, but the smile remained calm.
But it seemed to carry a sense of detachment and distance, as if it had seen through the ways of the world.
If fate allows, we will meet again.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tian stopped.
Her figure seemed to blend into the breeze, disappearing silently at the door of the quiet room.
Hongyu and Xuefei knelt on the spot, staring blankly at the empty doorway, remaining motionless for a long time.
"It's fate..."
Hongyu repeated the two words softly, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
A moment later, she forcefully wiped away a trace of moisture that had seeped into the corner of her eye.
