102 You Are the Only One in My Heart
Yan Zhen naturally didn’t do anything inappropriate to Zi Xunyi. He just took the opportunity to be intimate, helping her better accept the upcoming special dual cultivation.
They spent nearly half an hour in the bathtub, whispering and touching, before finally getting out, drying themselves, putting on their nightgowns, and tidying up.
“Are you ready, Zi Ji?” Yan Zhen took Zi Xunyi’s hand. “It’s time to go in.”
Zi Xunyi was nervous. She checked her appearance in the full-length mirror again, making sure she wouldn’t appear disrespectful, then nodded slightly.
“Yes, take me to see Master.”
Yan Zhen activated the Star Shifting Fire Seal, and the distorted spatial energy transported him and Zi Xunyi, holding hands, into the crystal pendant around his neck.
Zi Xunyi felt a moment of disorientation, then her vision cleared, revealing towering pillars that surpassed even the Nine-Layered Celestial Dome Pagoda. Giant chains connected the pillars, enclosing a vast plaza.
Beyond the pillars stretched a dark, starry sky, dotted with burning stars, some shining particularly brightly.
At the center of the plaza stood an ancient, five-colored altar. She and Yan Zhen were standing at its edge. Not far away, at the center of the altar, sat a beautiful figure in a black dress with white hair, meditating peacefully.
Zi Xunyi’s gaze sharpened.
Without needing Yan Zhen’s introduction, she knew this was his master, the renowned female Alchemist Saint of the Mystic Heaven Continent, the only legendary expert before Yan Zhen to master two Extreme Flames!
“Let’s go.”
Yan Zhen led the younger version of his future wife towards his Beautiful Master. Chen Xi, having already sensed their arrival, opened her eyes, her gaze meeting theirs.
“Master, I’ve brought Zi Ji.”
Zi Xunyi placed her hands together before her lower abdomen, bowed slightly, and performed an elegant curtsey. “Junior Zi Xunyi greets Senior Alchemist Saint.”
Seeing the younger Zi Xunyi, Chen Xi felt a wave of nostalgia, recalling their first meeting in her previous life.
“No need for such formalities. You are Zhen’er’s future wife, thus my disciple-in-law. You can address me as ‘Master,’ just like Zhen’er.”
Zi Xunyi was surprised. She had expected the Alchemist Saint to be rather aloof, but she was unexpectedly gentle. Was it because she was her “disciple-in-law”?
—That title feels rather embarrassing.
“Yes, Master Chen Xi. You can call me ‘Zi Ji’ as well.”
Chen Xi nodded slightly, thinking that she was actually more accustomed to calling her “Zi Fei.”
“It seems you’re ready?”
Zi Xunyi asked shyly, “Master Chen Xi, that dual cultivation technique… can it really guarantee pregnancy?”
“Naturally.” Chen Xi smiled faintly. “You should have heard of it. It’s an additional chapter of the Emperor and Empress Yin-Yang Grand Art, the ‘Procreation Chapter’.”
The Emperor and Empress Yin-Yang Grand Art, a Saint-level dual cultivation secret technique, was divided into the Physical Union, Qi Union, and Spiritual Union chapters.
Physical Union involved the physical joining of man and woman, Qi Union involved the exchange of energy, and Spiritual Union involved the resonance of souls.
Zi Xunyi possessed the Spiritual Union chapter, which was how she met Yan Zhen in the dreamscape.
Mi Xue’er and Xiao Xinyan had used the Qi Union chapter to advance.
As for the Physical Union chapter, the script only mentioned that Jiu Youyue knew it, having specifically learned it to trade with Yan Zhen.
Later, to face a common enemy, the two of them used the Physical Union chapter to dual cultivate and advance together.
Zi Xunyi had only heard of the three main chapters, unaware of the “Procreation Chapter.”
Chen Xi explained, “In ancient times, the fertility rate of the God Clans was low. To ensure their continuation, the ancestors created many secret techniques to increase fertility, including this Procreation Chapter. It’s the safest and most reliable technique, virtually guaranteeing conception on the first try. There are only two drawbacks: first, it’s overly complex and difficult to perform even after mastering it; second, it can only be used once, and the mother must be a virgin. Neither of these is a major issue. Zi Ji is still a virgin, and Master will guide you through the dual cultivation.”
Actually, the Procreation Chapter was originally only suitable for procreation between God Clan members. Chen Xi, in her previous life, had modified it into a dual cultivation technique for humans and gods. As for why… she couldn’t say, but she had been driven by a certain obsession at the time…
“There’s no time to delay. Let’s begin now.”
Chen Xi gently raised her hand, and a magnificent stone bed rose from the altar, draped with pink curtains, covered with a soft mattress, two pillows, and a comfortable quilt, perfectly prepared.
Except for the stone platform underneath, all the other items were created by Chen Xi’s Spiritual Power, yet they looked incredibly real.
Manifesting the ethereal into reality… this is the power of the True Realm of soul cultivation. Zi Xunyi marveled inwardly.
“Alright, you two, take off your clothes and get on the bed… Master will step aside for now and return when needed.”
Chen Xi’s form faded into an ethereal shadow and disappeared.
However, Zi Xunyi still felt Master Chen Xi’s gaze lingering, realizing that her withdrawal wasn’t truly leaving, but a consideration for her modesty.
As she pondered, Yan Zhen suddenly scooped her up into his arms, making her gasp and instinctively wrap her arms around his neck.
“Yan Zhen…”
Yan Zhen gently placed Zi Xunyi on the stone bed, climbed on top, and pressed her down.
“It’s time, Zi Ji.”
Zi Xunyi pushed against his chest, a picture of playful resistance, her alluring charm captivating. Her reddish-purple eyes shimmered with moisture, her red lips slightly parted, invitingly moist. Between the open collar of her robe, glimpses of flawless white skin could be seen. The hem of her knee-length skirt had somehow ridden up to her hips, revealing her long, dazzlingly white legs, her delicate feet curled slightly in nervousness.
The purple-haired, purple-eyed young woman, the undisputed belle of the Inner Academy, lay on the bed like a blooming flower, waiting to be plucked by her future husband.
“Yan Zhen, in the future… will you be good to me?”
Yan Zhen brushed aside a strand of her lavender hair and said gently, “Yes, I’ll love you from beginning to end, walk through storms with you, and never leave you.”
“Really? Then, what about… ‘Sister Cai Lian’?”
“Cai Lian is Cai Lian, and you are you. Both of you hold a unique place in my heart.”
Zi Xunyi wasn’t entirely satisfied with this answer. She looked at Yan Zhen resentfully and asked, “Then what am I in your heart?”
Yan Zhen smiled faintly. “Silly girl, ‘You are the only one in my heart, a beautiful myth,’ of course~”
The young woman’s heart trembled, the poignant song echoing in her mind. Her beautiful eyes misted over, and she reached up, cupped his face, and offered him her lips.
—You are also the only one I acknowledge in my heart, my husband.
As if hearing her thoughts, Yan Zhen responded with even greater earnestness.
