Chapter 496: I have always liked you, Senior Brother…

Every time the System prompt sounded, Li Xuanfeng would inevitably receive a reward.

A small brass pagoda exuding an ancient aura floated within the System space, bobbing up and down, possessing an indescribable, profound power.

"Great Sage Weapon!"

Li Xuanfeng sank his consciousness into it, feeling as though this pagoda contained all manner of mysteries, as if it could contain the entire world!

The xuanhuang pagoda appeared to have only nine levels from the outside, but its internal space actually contained ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine levels!

Each level was a vast world in its own right.

This pagoda possessed numerous functions, including defense, suppression, and refinement; if it were truly placed in the Universe to reveal its full appearance, it would be enough to make the stars pale in comparison!

Simply put, the size of this pagoda could be changed at will, capable of containing the heavens, the earth, the sun, and the moon. If it were to reveal its true form, it could be seen even from light-years away, because the true height of this pagoda had already reached one light-year!

With such a size, it could easily span the entire solar System from before Li Xuanfeng's Transmigration!

"Not bad, not bad. This xuanhuang pagoda is likely one of the best among all Great Sage Weapons!"

Li Xuanfeng thought with satisfaction.

With the xuanhuang pagoda, his combat power would increase by another large margin; the higher his Realm, the more of the xuanhuang pagoda's power he could unleash.

After a simple assessment, Li Xuanfeng returned his attention to the Battle Qi Tower. At this moment, Luo Li had already calmed her mind and focused, blocking out external disturbances to wholeheartedly attempt to brand the Battle Qi Tower with her Soul imprint.

Due to her weak strength, this process was destined to be extremely long.

An hour later, Li Xuanfeng ended the guidance; whether it would take several months or a year to succeed now depended on Luo Li herself.

Shifting his gaze, Li Xuanfeng discovered that Wei Qingyan was quietly watching him. In those clear, beautiful eyes, there was an indescribable emotion, along with a hint of nervousness and anticipation.

"It's your turn."

Li Xuanfeng flicked his finger, and the Extreme Yin Saint Sword floated horizontally in front of Wei Qingyan.

"Senior Brother, wait a moment!"

Wei Qingyan said hurriedly.

Right now, Luo Li was completely immersed in refining the Battle Qi Tower, making it a perfect, undisturbed opportunity.

With a nimble movement of her body, she bypassed the Extreme Yin Saint Sword and appeared directly in front of Li Xuanfeng.

"Senior Brother, could we go to my room?"

Wei Qingyan gathered her courage and looked into Li Xuanfeng's eyes.

Li Xuanfeng stared at his Junior Sister for a good while, until her face turned red and her gaze darted away, before he nodded and said, "Alright!"

Wei Qingyan's eyes immediately lit up, her delicate fists clenched tight, and she was overjoyed.

With a thought, Li Xuanfeng brought Wei Qingyan and the Extreme Yin Saint Sword to another mountain peak and entered Wei Qingyan's cultivation secret chamber.

"Did Junior Brother come out so quickly?"

"Dual Cultivation shouldn't be that fast, right?"

In the Void Realm, Ye Qingqing, who was quietly adjusting her breath, opened her eyes and glanced toward where Li Xuanfeng was.

Because Li Xuanfeng had previously casually set up a concealment Formation, Ye Qingqing did not force her way in to spy.

She had originally thought that her Junior Brother setting up the isolation Formation meant he was preparing for Dual Cultivation, but now it seemed not. The Dual Cultivation of powerful Cultivators would certainly not be this short; to say nothing of physical fitness, in such a short time, even if they were truly engaged in Dual Cultivation, it would be impossible for it to be of any help to their strength.

Inside the secret chamber.

Li Xuanfeng once again casually set up a concealment Formation.

Although this type of Formation could not block a Quasi-Emperor, if a Quasi-Emperor were truly spying, Li Xuanfeng would be able to sense it through the Formation.

"Now, should we begin refining?"

Li Xuanfeng looked at his Junior Sister.

Wei Qingyan was the first Daughter of Destiny he had bound to. Although her strength was currently the weakest, Li Xuanfeng would not ignore her because of this. On the contrary, Wei Qingyan held a somewhat special position in his heart.

Just like her name, Wei Qingyan possessed an unparalleled, pure, and beautiful face, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin like congealed fat, and soft, shiny hair. The first impression she gave people was that she was healthy, with a rich aura of youth.

"Senior Brother, I…"

Wei Qingyan looked at Li Xuanfeng, her steps moving forward, getting closer and closer to him.

The young girl's fragrance unknowingly brushed past the tip of his nose, lingering and swirling.

When she was only a foot away from Li Xuanfeng, Wei Qingyan stopped. The two faced each other, and because of the tension, Li Xuanfeng could clearly hear the sound of his Junior Sister's accelerated heartbeat.

Wei Qingyan had originally rehearsed the scene of how to speak many times in her mind, but when the moment came, her mind went blank before the words could reach her lips.

Looking at the Senior Brother she thought of day and night, whom she could only temporarily forget through Cultivation and battle, standing right before her eyes, she felt an emotion in her heart that she wanted to vent, and even more, an impulse to throw herself into Li Xuanfeng's arms.

"You what?"

Seeing Wei Qingyan stare at him blankly for a long time without being able to speak, Li Xuanfeng couldn't help but laugh.

"I…"

Her small, rosy cherry lips parted, wanting to speak but stopping.

"Are you wanting to say again that you have missed me very much these past few years or something like that?"

Li Xuanfeng smiled.

Wei Qingyan had already said such things before while chatting during their walks.

Wei Qingyan nodded, then shook her head: "Not just that…"

The words stopped halfway, so Li Xuanfeng simply took the initiative to take Wei Qingyan's jade-like hand.

"Are we starting?"

Inside the broken sword, the Sword Spirit's eyes lit up. Wei Qingyan's stammering made her a bit anxious, but having been frightened by the artifact spirit of the Extreme Yin Saint Sword that Li Xuanfeng had refined earlier, she dared not continue transmitting messages to Wei Qingyan right under Li Xuanfeng's nose.

"Eh, why can't I see anymore?"

The Sword Spirit was suddenly stunned, discovering that her perception had been blocked; she could only remain silently in a corner of the space, knowing it was Li Xuanfeng's doing.

Her jade-like hand was suddenly held by Li Xuanfeng, and Wei Qingyan's heartbeat quickened a few more beats, even though she hadn't felt this way before when she had intimately taken Li Xuanfeng's arm.

"Can we not just be Senior Brother and Junior Sister?"

Feeling the warmth from Li Xuanfeng's large hand, Wei Qingyan finally gathered her courage and looked into Li Xuanfeng's eyes, speaking a complete sentence.

"Then what should we be?"

Li Xuanfeng asked.

"Just like you and Senior Sister Luo… be Dao Companions. I have always, always liked you, Senior Brother…"

Wei Qingyan's voice gradually weakened, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her head lowered a little.

Looking at his Junior Sister, who was more than half a head shorter than him, the faint fragrance emitted from her soft hair drifted into his nose, just like an orchid quietly blooming in an empty valley.

Her fragrant shoulders trembled slightly due to tension, and with her brows lowered and head bowed, she dared not look at him; she was afraid he would refuse.

Li Xuanfeng applied a little force with his palm, pulling Wei Qingyan into his embrace; the latter buried her head in his chest, still not daring to look up at him.

"Alright!"

It was not until Li Xuanfeng's voice sounded that Wei Qingyan raised her head, full of pleasant surprise.

Li Xuanfeng looked with a smile at his Junior Sister, who had raised her pretty face, her eyes filled with surprise, and then, as her beautiful eyes suddenly widened, he leaned down and pressed his lips onto her glossy, rosy cherry lips.

"Mmm~"

A familiar, delicate moan reached his ears.

The beautiful woman's body felt soft, and she leaned powerlessly into Li Xuanfeng's arms.

Wei Qingyan subconsciously closed her eyes, feeling her mind go blank. She forgot the time, forgot everything, as if she were a white cloud floating in the blue sky, light and free, floating like an immortal.

She had no idea how much time had passed until Li Xuanfeng took the initiative to pull away, and only then did Wei Qingyan slowly come back to her senses.

"Senior Brother…"

Looking at Li Xuanfeng, who was watching her with a smile, Wei Qingyan felt her face burning, but in her heart, she felt an unprecedented joy and happiness.

Her relationship with her Senior Brother had finally achieved a substantial Breakthrough.
