Chapter 51: The Great Sage’s Defense Breaks Yet Again:

Hearing Xia Xiaoyu’s outrageous words, Jiang Xuan was instantly dumbfounded. “No… Xiaoyu, last night you clearly already…” 

Before Jiang Xuan could finish, Xia Xiaoyu interrupted him, “Brother Xuan, let me emphasize, the one from last night wasn’t the current me. Since she got to have so much fun, I want my turn too.” 

Jiang Xuan, “?????”

“Xia Xiaoyu, do you even hear yourself right now?” Jiang Xuan asked. 

Xia Xiaoyu pouted, “I don’t care. Brother Xuan, if you won’t give in, then I won’t let you leave.” As Xia Xiaoyu spoke, she leaned in, attempting to break through Jiang Xuan’s Great Sage defense. 

However, after a night of reinforcement, the Great Sage was no longer what it once was—far stronger than what Xia Xiaoyu in her current state could breach.

Just then, Xia Xiaoyu put on a pitiful expression and said softly, “Brother Xuan, do you only like the me from last night? Do you not like the current me at all? But… the one who’s always been by your side is me.” 

As her words fell, the Great Sage, which had vowed to protect him to the death, completely abandoned its defense.

Inwardly, Jiang Xuan roared, [Damn it, this cursed contrast! Xiaoyu was so domineering last night, but now she looks so delicate and tearful. Who could resist that! This is the first time in this female-dominated world that I’ve seen such a fragile-looking girl. I admit, this soft and delicate look really does attract me, but Great Sage, what are you doing? Why are you completely giving up on defense? This is really the end. At the critical moment, the Great Sage is just as unreliable as the system!]

On the other side, noticing Jiang Xuan’s changes, Xia Xiaoyu leaned close to his ear and whispered, “As expected, Brother Xuan, deep down you’ve always liked your childhood sweetheart. You might not admit it with your words, but your body is very honest.” 

Jiang Xuan, “…” 

Before Jiang Xuan could respond, Xia Xiaoyu had already launched a full offensive against him.

 The previously delicate appearance was completely gone, replaced by a deep, insatiable greed in her eyes.

Jiang Xuan could hear the devilish whispers in his ear.

“Brother Xuan, who do you think is better, the me from last night or the me now? Brother Xuan, did you know? The other me bragged to me about it, so I’ve decided to show her who’s truly better. Brother Xuan, from now on, stay by my side. Since Sister Liuyun doesn’t care about you, didn’t even show up when you were captured by the demoness, let me pamper you instead. Brother Xuan, don’t worry. I won’t let anyone take you away. No matter who it is, I will win.” Jiang Xuan, “???”

At this moment, Jiang Xuan’s face looked pale, and his eyes were hollow. He didn’t even respond to Xia Xiaoyu’s words. 

Exhausted both physically and mentally, he couldn’t muster the strength to care anymore. 

Deep down, his desire to become stronger grew more resolute. [As expected, if you’re weak, you’ll be trampled on. 

This world is too cruel. Just seeing Xiaoyu’s delicate look made me drop my guard, and in the end, I was foolishly deceived. The consequences of being tricked are really too much to bear! Fortunately, my physical condition improved a bit beforehand, or else I’d have been completely finished.]

The morning passed in a blur before Xia Xiaoyu finally let Jiang Xuan off somewhat satisfied. 

“Brother Xuan, you should rest for now. Tonight, let’s deepen our bond even further.” Jiang Xuan, “???”

At this moment, Jiang Xuan stared at the ceiling, his gaze distant. 

He tentatively said, “Xiaoyu, I’m sorry I couldn’t satisfy you… I thought about it, maybe it’s because my body is too weak. So for the next few days, I want to focus on training to get stronger. Is that okay?” 

Xia Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, “Of course it’s okay. Brother Xuan, go ahead and train properly. We can continue tonight.” 

Jiang Xuan quickly added, “No… what I mean is, I’ll be training at night too…” 

Xia Xiaoyu giggled, “Brother Xuan, as the Saintess of the Hundred Flowers Sect, I’m very familiar with cultivation. Training can make you stronger over time, but the gap between individuals mostly depends on their foundation. Only by solidifying your foundation can you go further on the path of cultivation. As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. I think if you spend too much time training, your foundation might become unstable. But don’t worry, that’s a small problem. Tonight, I’ll help you check your training results and stabilize your foundation. How’s that?”

Jiang Xuan, “…”

Jiang Xuan really wanted to ask if Xia Xiaoyu’s so-called inspection was serious or not, but seeing as she agreed to let him train and get stronger, he decided to prioritize cultivating for now. 

A while later, Jiang Xuan and Xia Xiaoyu left the room and headed to a hidden cultivation room. “Brother Xuan, this cultivation room has a spirit gathering formation. Training here will yield twice the results with half the effort. I’ve also prepared some food for you, which I’ll bring later. You can focus on your training. Oh, and I’ll also inform Aunt Jiang that you’re safe, but for your safety, we shouldn’t let anyone outside know you’re staying at the Xia family for now.”

Hearing Xia Xiaoyu’s considerate words, Jiang Xuan nodded. “Thank you, Xiaoyu. It’s all thanks to you that I escaped from the demoness of the Demonic Sect. By the way, the Demonic Sect people probably won’t give up easily. Please be extremely careful in everything you do.” 

Xia Xiaoyu reassured him, “Don’t worry, Brother Xuan. I’m a hundred times stronger than I used to be. Whoever from the Demonic Sect dares to come, I’ll beat them all.”

Jiang Xuan, “…”

Jiang Xuan was initially not too worried, but after hearing Xia Xiaoyu confidently claim she could beat them all, he felt a little uneasy. 

That’s not something to say so casually! 

Still, Jiang Xuan had to admit that with Xia Xiaoyu’s skyrocketing cultivation, her strength was indeed formidable. 

As long as she didn’t run into a Martial Emperor Realm expert, there shouldn’t be any problems.

Just then, Xia Xiaoyu said, “Brother Xuan, quickly start training. I’ll stay nearby and observe to assess your cultivation talent. But honestly, throughout history, men with cultivation talent have been rare. Besides, I can tell your current cultivation is still weak, probably due to a deficiency in your Spiritual Root. But that’s okay. I believe as long as Brother Xuan works hard, you will definitely become strong.”

“Thank you, Xiaoyu. Then I’ll start now. Please watch and tell me how long you think it’ll take for me to become a strong cultivator.” 

As soon as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, he sat down cross-legged and began circulating the Tai Xuan Technique. 

In the next moment, the surrounding spiritual energy surged into his body at a terrifying speed. In an instant, Jiang Xuan felt his cultivation loosen, and shortly after, his cultivation broke through from 3rd stage Martial Apprentice Realm directly to 5th stage Martial Apprentice Realm.

Originally prepared to hug Jiang Xuan to comfort him, Xia Xiaoyu was completely stunned, frozen like a statue.
